GOOD EXAMPLE FOR CITIES
State of Michigan Has Made Plans to
Plant Two Million Trees
This Year.

1t is characteristic of youth that it
pursues whatever it undertakes with
undivided energies. This is true of
nations no less than individuals. AS a
nation we are young. When we tackle
a problem, we seem for the time be-
ing to forget that there is anything
outside of the problem in question
that needs our attention.
AS a nation we have been greatly
interested of late in social reforms,
in ameliorating the lot of the laboring
mar. With the vigor of youth we
went after the social problem and
much good has been accomplished.
while plans are in the making for
even greater benefits. We have not
forgotten, however, other interests
that are quite important to our nation
al well-being. For example, the state of
Michigan will plant this year 100000
trees. Hundreds of acres where a few
years ago stood giant pine trees, but
which are now bare, will once more
be turned into beautiful forests by
that state. Michigan is the second
state to take up the matter of refor-
estry. A year ago the state of Min
nesota planted 1000, 900 trees.
The example of Michigan and Min
nesota might be followed by other
states with a good deal of prof1t.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

peace descended over Judge C~harteris.
He nodded his head and dozed, his re-
pose ~deepened, soothed by the good
whisky with which his friend Hop
kins had supplied him When he
awakened, he had reflected, he would
be speeding through the desert, miles
from Nokomis. Had he not better un-
dress and go to bed? Before he an
swered his own question he was nor
ing in his chair.
Behind the train, SO close that 1t
might almost have formed an integral
part of it, John Haynes and Theobald
we're speeding in their ~one-wheeled
automobile upon a single rail And
underneath the busy gyroscope hum
med, ever so family. Its tune ac-
corded well with the Englishman's
mind; it hummed as merrily as his
own thoughts, and yet 1t soothed him
with its m~onotonous ~murmuring. All
the while the snow fell steadily. But
the automobile ran through 1t snugly
and comfortably; there was not the
slightest jar or vibration. When the
train quickened its speed the vehicle
did the same. It could have outpaced
the train in a run Of a hundred miles
and met her half way back.
I'VE must be nearing the foothills
of the Blue Mountains, Theobald,"
said John Haynes, half an hour later.

before we enter upon the s~teepest

think We'll make our preparations"
Theobald shivered and rose, grasp
ing his instrument case. At that mo-
ment he felt like a mar bewitched,
helpless, hypnotized by the power of
his terrible master.
Haynes slowed down to twenty
miles, leaped the machine from the
rail to the %roadbed, and, putting on
speed again, caught up with the van
ishing train. Throwing back the
hood of the %runabout, he stood upon
the step a moment in the pelting snow,
ran alongside Of the train, and fling
ing a rope moose, one end of which
was fixed to his steering wheel, made
the runabout fast. He leaped aboard
the train, and standing on the back
platform, he strained at the rope,
working it until the runabout shifted
her course, caught the rail again and
ran on smoothly behind. Then, at his

instrument case in hand.
To force the door of the car was the
work of a few moments. Then the
two men crept cautiously inside. Judge
Charters was sleeping profoundly in
his chair, his drained glass by his side,
his hands folded across his abdomen
and a smile of perfect happiness upon
his face. He did not stir as they ap-
preached, but snored in drunken slum-
Der.
Haynes took the cigar box from the
table, selected a ~perfecto, lit it, and
began to smoke. The doctor shook his
head nervously when his companion

up his handkerchief, saturated it, and
clapped it over the judges face.
A sigh, a STRAND then the
judges breathing deepened and be-

He turned aside and seating him

Back Yard GARDENING.

About this time every year number
less h~ouseholders have the gardening
fever, and very many yield to it, but
they are frequently too anxious to
have the first lettuce or radishes in
the neighborhood. and undertake too
much. They work too hard and un-
wisely, and soon tire, but there are al
ways some who persevere and sue

minutes later, and Haynes rose. At
the first sight he started back in
sheer amazement; then laughed up
roariously at the grim humor OF the
situation. For Theobald had done his
work too well. The sight of the face
of his old enemy had filled Haynes
with scarcely comfortable anger; but
now-it was a different man. For
Theobald had almost bloodlessly made
deft little cuts in certain facial mus
cles which made the cheeks hang
fiabby and loose;- he had touched tiny
muscles about the eyes and eyelids
which had altered the whole aspect
of the Judges face. he had filled in
the sagging flesh under the eyes with
paraffin, even now hardening and not
distinguishable from healthy tissue;
he had given ar upward turn to the
eyebrows and a scowling droop to
the mouth; and lastly he had shipped
one infinitely small muscle in the
sclerotic membrane of the eye which
made Charteris' eyes, when the lids
were lifted, diverge extravagantly.
And Clancy had a pronounced
squint of just that character. Theo-
bald had done his work too well.

moistened in the snow outside the car.
They stripped Judge Charters of his

runabout, and attired him in the bun

taken with them for Just such a pur-
