n Idaho have roamed,
And memories come to me,
OF a state of happy homes
How plainly | can see,
The dear old State SO grand,
With its mountains GOV 'rd with snoI
And the many fertile valleys
Spreading far below
And one spot in the dear old state
Sets my heart aglow,
AS | think of Mountain Home,
Where | lived not long ago.
There is dear old Mt. Bennett,
Which as the sun lis setting low,
Turns the lingering rays
To purple and to gold.
And at the foot of 1t seems,

A silver lake or reservoir,
Lies giistening day by day.
And when Ills clear and cold
And is covered DER with ice,
Where IRE wont to take our skates
And pass the time so nice.
The valley round Min. Home
So very fertile is, that people
Come from far and near
To choose their Home Sweet Home.
| have not Travelled far
have not Travelled wide,
But | long for dear Idaho,
With love and happy pride.
Is there spot so fair,
Is there a spot so rich,
AS Idaho, Dear Idaho,
With it's land and irrigation ditch?
Wake up You people
You must learn,
That the fair Gem state
Is your very own.
Wake up to its beauty and splenGor
The riches to be gatherer there,
Remember you are in Idaho,
And Mountain tome so fair

grounds, coming across the forms OF
their fellow guests at every few steps.
Some still remained inert, some we're
sitting up In a dazed way, while others
were already upon their feet directing
their way to the will-o.the-wisp lantern
light which fitted about the lawn. In
the course Of the next few minutes
they had also found a dozen Of tho
lanterns which had not been torn to
pieces or blown from their ~fastenings
upon the trees, and these they lighted
and distributed to the ever increasing
searching party. It had been a case
of %suffocation into insensibility in a

the departure Of the great weight, q
condition which had only prevailed for
a very few minutes, and with the re-
turn of the normal quantity of air the
victims had quickly recovered with
the exception Of Mrs. Emmonds, She
had been in a faint and breathing but
feebly when the crucial moment ar
rived, and Doctor Raymond, who was
among them now, pronounced her
dead. Silently they bore her within
the house, found the telephone to be
unresponsive to their appeals. and
leaving two Of the women beside her
they returned to the lawn. They
were still partially dazed and wholly
awe stricken and moved about half
automatically as though Just recov-
ering from an anaesthetic.
The electric lights which for some
reason had gone out in the early
stages of the disturbances were now
burning as brightly as ever again, and
from all sides came the sounds of q

cries of women, the barking Of dogs,

been considerable loss Of life in the

The FIyinq Man.

Il was perhaps five minutes later
that Alan anne into a certain posses
sion Of his senses. not fully as one
may do who awakens from a faint, but
rather with a gradual return to normal
understanding through which period
he had grotesque dreams, saw visions
and seemed to exist for long periods
in unfamiliar worlds. Then as full
consciousness became his again he sat
up. There was a strong wind blowing
once more, a gale In fact, but 1t was
now coming steadily instead OF in 81.
gantic gusts and the roar from above
had diminished to the long, dull rum
BILE Of dying thunder. All was yet in
darkness SO dense that he could not
see his hand before his face.
For a moment he sat quietly as his
brain tried to grasp the full signif-
canoe of all that had happened. his
name, his whereabouts, the cause Of
the blackness, the roar and the wind.
All, he had 1t now. The collision. 1t
had evidently taken place and he vas
still alive-Doris!. His heart leaped to
his throat and he went fumbling over
the ground on his hands and knees in
blind search for her. His touch fell
upon her still lying PROSTATE, and
placing his arm under her he raised
her to a sitting position, feeling Of her
face as he did SO. Thank all things
she was alive and now even able to
move a bit. He drew her gently to
him until her head rested against his
shoulder where he held her with his
arm clasped about her waist. He
could feel the deep and rapid pulsing
of her bosom and knew that she was
breathing spasmodically as though
greatly exhausted, realizing for the
first time that he, also. was painting
as after a severe race. He spoke to
her with an effort and after a few
fr%uitless trials succeeded in making
himself heard. He asked her II she
was much hurt or in pain and she
shook her head against his shoulder in
a negative.
He became conscious that something
to which It seemed he had always
been accustomed had suddenly abb
scented itself and for a moment pom
dered vaguely as to what 1t could be.

Doris was now able to sit upright with

where she was until he returned, and
got upon his feet. As he did so he
saw a light flicker a short distance
away and a moment later the fame Of
a Japanese lantern revealed the set
face OF Desmond. Alan went hurrying
up to him.

off the coast Of Spain by a Portuguese
navigator and carried to Lisbon, where
the story of the island was told to
Prince Henry.
Immediately an expedition was fitted
out and the navigator was placed at
its head. He landed at Madeira in 1419
and took the island in the name of
Portugal. After performing sacred
services at the graves of the sweet
hearts he returned and later was ap-
pointed governor OF the island and ad-

No Motor Cars to Worry One, No
Noisy Street Cars, No Gathering

Peaceful In Beautiful Place.

New Yorktown in the Atlantic
ocean about a week by steamer from
New York there is one Of the real gar
deR spots of the world. There are no
motor carr there with their accom-
panying cutout fiends, no noisy street
cars, no Gathering horses-all is Quist
and ~restful. Flowers and fruit grow
In abundance and everywhere one sees
the beautiful tropical vegetation. There
are no extremes Of heat and cold, the
temperature varying from 63 to rs de-
grees the year around. On the map this
place is labeled Madeira, but to the
visitors from the liners that call there
the little island is a place Of wonder
and enchantment.
There is an attractive little story in
connection with the discovery of Ma
deira. Robert Machim, a nobleman
without means, and Anna d'Arfet, q
woman Of noble birth, and also very
wealthy, were sweethearts. Annals
parents bitterly opposed the union, for
they had arranged a match between
Anna and a wealthy and handsome
young nobleman she detested.
Just before the wedding was to take
place the two ~sweethearts, assisted by
some friends left Bristol, their home,
In a small vessel, intending to fee to
France. But instead of reaching the
French coast they were tossed about
by a violent storm and after IA days
came In sight Of a beautiful island.
The little vessel was beached near
where the village of Machio now Is,
and there Robert made his young bride
as comfortable as possible. Before
they could get all their belongings and
stores to the shore the ship was
wrenched from its anchorage and driv-
en- away in the storm, leaving several
Of the crew with the unfortunate
sweethearts.
In this most rare climate, surround
ed by vegetation Of all kinds, the little
company began what they believed
would be a happy life. But slowly the
girls health failed, and at last she
died. Robert was Frustrated with grief
and in a few days he also died, leaving
a request that a church should be
founded in this place. The followers
constructed a rude boat and put to sea,
being driven by the wind to the Bar
barry coast, where they we're taken
prisoners. They told of the beautiful
island they had found, and a fellow
