MADE coon
By GEORGE HURsoN.

Nesta had one sorrow in her life,
and that was the thought of Jim
Barnes. She was the daughter of a set
tier in the forest region Of Oregon,
and Barnes and John Anderson had
both wanted her. Anderson had won.
He was a successful sheep farmer, and
he and Nesta loved each other de-
votedly. They had been married six
months.
Jim Barnes was in the government
service. He was a forest ranger. He
was a lonely man, somewhat older
than Anderson. All his life had been
spent in the forests and on the plains.
He loved his work; and, when Nesta
rejected his suit, he went quietly back
to it. No one but Nesta knew how
hard he took his failure to make her
his wife.
Barnes was successful because he
gave his flock all his attention. In
winter he kept them in the pens, but
in summer he pastured them in the
sweet grasses of the uplands. These
long, sloping ranges rise above the
surrounding forests, into which the
sheep will not stray. Thus a herd can
be secured, so long as the pasturage
holds out, within fifty acres, rlnged
around with trees; and every alter
nate day they can be moved e another
of the mountain slopes.
Nesta and John had a series Of lit
tie cabins all along the edge of the
range. Each contained only a bed,
blankets, and cooking utensils. In
these they were spending the summer
months happily, While Nesta pre-
pared the meal in the day time, John
would lie on the hill slopes, watching
his flock, and smoking, and dreaming
Of his return to Nesta.
It was during one of these days that
Barnes came riding up to Nesta's
cabin. where she was alone.
Can you spare me a drink of water,
ma'am?" he began. Il saw your IRE
smoking and thought it might be-"
Then she turned round and they
recognized each other. It was the first

The following is a story told by VIII
liam Jennings Bryan:
Five Irishmen, the Peerless One
said, had been charged with assault
with intent to kill. The state tried
to prove the disturbance began at ten
o'clock at night. Dennis, one of the
accused, sought to show by a witness
that he was at home and in bed with
him and did not get up until long aft
er the trouble was over.
How do you know that Dennis
was in bed by eight o'clock?' the dis
trict attorney inquired.
Hadn't we a clock in the house?
the witness retorted.
"-Oh, and did the clock strike after
Dennis came in?
well, no, the clock wasn't strik
ing then
what was the matter with it?

Then, if the clock was not going

situation was extremely perilous. for
the flames nad ringed the hill, and the
only chance Of safety was in hewing a
path through that part where the for
ests dwindled into patches Of under
brush, and so reaching the Ilyer. As
he galioped the stencil OF burning
wood was in his nostrils, and now and
again the grass started into ripples Of
fire under his horses hoofs.
In their cabin Nesta and John were
sleeping. They had known nothing Of
that r%emorseless enemy creeping near
err and nearer. and already sending out
long streamers of smoke through the
open door.
John stirred in his sleep and NUT
tered. He caught at his throat, turned
over, and slept again. Nesta heard
him, but she did not know that death
was upon them, nor that this uncon-
seriousness which crept upon her was
anything but sleep.
A hand pulled at her shoulder. She
muttered drowsily. She opened her
eyes. Barnes was standing over her.
but in her benumbed state it coca

She felt herself lifted in his arms.
A moment later, and Barnes was dash

came back to consciousness, they were

opposite edge was an inferno OF fame.

But Barnes was already gone, She
waited in an agony Of suspense, watch

orackle Of buring wood sounded in her
ears like musketry. Then, out Of the
forest a horse came plunging, and on
its back were two figures.
One was Barnes, and before him,
upon the saddle, swathed IN a smolder-
ing blanket, and supported by Barnes
arm, was John. The terrified horse
plunged into the cooling stream and
stumbled. Barnes flung himself from
the saddle and. tearing the blanket
from Anderson. carried him to the
bank. Neither man was badly hurt.
The blanket had protected John,

smoke, but Barnes hair and eyebrows

hell Of his heart was quenched in the
waters of self-eonquest. Still. he "a

were staged to represent a country

But there wasn't a printer in the
whole play. When the make-believe
type-slinger would go to the case and
take up the stick, his %typesetting mo-
tons were not like a real one He
never reached for the cap case, never
spaced out a line, and couldn't get

when Udell went to take a stone proof
Of a job, he rolled It With a hand

inspector relative to the college sub
station for the Hattiesburg postoffice
had been received and considered and
that owing to the cost involved the
department did not feel warranted in
authorizing the establishment of the
station.
On July rs Congressman Harrison
forwarded that letter to the college au-

ing them that he had taken up the
matter again with the Postoffice De-
partment and he had some hope that
they would reconsider the matter with
the idea of reversing the decision not
to authorize the station. Under date

Will Unite To
fight DEMOCRATS
MARYLAND REPUBLICANS AND
PRooREsslVEs PLAN TO GET
TOGETHER ON SENATOR,

Baltimore. Md, Aug. 13.-Whether
the Republicans and Progressiyes Of
Maryland are TO bury the Ratchet and
present a united front against the
Democrats in the coming senatorial
election will probably be determined
finitely at mass convention of the
leaders of the two parties to be held
in this city tomorrow. The present
situation is filed with interesting pos
sibilities and the result of the confer
ence will be of interest and import
ance not only in Maryland bat in other
States where efforts are being made to
amalgamate the Republicans and the
ProgressiVes.
The political situation in Maryland
is attracting attention just now from
the fact that the new method of cleo
ting United States senators by direct
vote of the people is to have its first
tryout here next November, when a
successor is to be chosen to the seat
of Senator Jackson, who was appoint
ed by the governor last year to fill
the unexpired term Of Senator Ray
ner.
The election will be given added
significance by the fact that it will be
the first test of public sentiment since
the advent OF the Democratic national
administration.
OF late years Maryland has been a
close State politically, thought it used
to be regarded as a Democatic strong
hold Last year the Democrats won
an easy victory because about half the
men who had been voting the Rep
licap ticket supported the Progress
sive party.
Until recently it was the belief that
three tickets would be put in the field
this fall and that. in consequence the
result would be the same as last
November, namely, an easy Demo
cratic victory But with the inception
of the movement to reunite the Re
publicans and Progressives the situa
ton took on different turn. 4
straightout fight between the Demo
Gratis and their opponents will meal
an even and hard fought battle. 1t Il
settled that the Democrats, whoeve
their nominee for senator may be, will
ask the voters of the State to supper
the Democratic party on the GROUND
that the Wilson administration is a sue
cess. Naturally there is the keenes
