window that snowy Christmas
eve. Fostered in an orphan asylum until
the year he rebelled and ran away to
carve out his own future, it was not
strange that Harcourt, who had never
known any other home save bleak
boarding houses, should have an in
sistent yearning for a home of his
own, for loving home faces.
His letters were all business letters
There was not even gay Christmas
card as evidence that some one had re-
membered him.
He stood aside and wistfully watch

own cowpunchers-retur from the
grated window, with smiling lips and
eyes, tenderly expeotant of what
might be concealed in the Christmas
packages that came to each.
Nick Bolton must have surprised the
usefulness in his employers eyes, for
he suddenly stuffed his letters and par
GELS in his pockets and lighted a ciga-
rette.
Going along now?" he asked Har-
court, and the other nodded briefly
and strobe out.
AS their horses turned into the al
most obliterated trail that led to Sweet
water ranch Nick urged his beast
through the powdery whiteness until
he was within easy hearing of the 81

They took up that sailed hole in the
ground called 'Golconda Nine and the

He was a poor. shiftless critter at the
most. Since then the widow has lived
alone with the two kids"
"Good heavens! What do they live
on?" demanded Harcourt, plainly inter
ested

proposed marriage to her and the kids

"They should wait awhile" advised
Harcourt.
"Oh, she doesn't appear to be grieving
oyermuch on account Of the Shiftless

"You could see it was a big mistake,
that tieup, but she was good as gold
to him through it all and worked like

Hum! How is she fixed for Christ

that the widow is dumb obstinate and

too little to be ashamed.
Did you spend all of your coppers?''
mamma asked gently, and Freddie
nodded his head and gulped.
II don't think Aunt Lou will like
pipes quite as well as a rose, do your"
mamma asked. Never mind, dear;
wrap up the pipes for her."
But Aunt Lou doesn't want pipes"
Freddie said chokingly.
Didn't you buy them for Aunt Lou,
dear?" mamma asked.
~"They are for me-" said Freddie in
a low voice.
"And what have you got for Aunt
Lou. who always gives you such
nice Christmas PRESENT.
Freddie crept very close and asked.
'Will you please give me cents?'
THAT would be mammals present,
dear. and not yours. You saved the
coppers for Aunt Lou. and if you have
bought pipes with them you must give
her the pipes"
Christmas day Freddie gave the
pipes to Aunt Lou. His papa laughed
His mother smiled, and a merry twin

caught sight of little red. mortified
face with two blue eyes Drumming
with tears. That was too much fol

EDUCATION FOR THE LOGGER.

EDUCATION FOR THE LOGGER.
There is a growing demand that
the schools of the country be
brought closer to the people. That
the utilitarian side of the institu-

and that the youth be educated more
for utility than for polish. This is
seen in the Importance that now at

Oregon our Agricultural college
means much more than its name i'm

belongs to modern industrial educa-
tion, and is making its force felt in
every line of activity, especially
those lines that have to do with the
development of the state.
Oregon is one of the great lum-
