GREAT INFLUENCE OF BEAUTY
Though Too Often ignored, II Is az
Deep and Useful Part of Life
az Utility.

Beauty Is as deep and as useful a
part Of our general life as is what we
term utility. 1t has just such rea.
son for being; it has similar force;
it has set place in the scheme of the
world. Eyes not fully opened to the
beautiful are not wholly alive to the
influence of beauty upon our lives and
our actions. Alas! sometimes we scoff
at the highest expressions Of beauty.
That is to say, the highest human ex.
preston.
Those even greater beauties, which
are divine expressions, we ignore.
Just think for a moment. Take
yourself away from yourself and con.

in the accepted Spanish manner, while
Bud hooked one leg over the horn of

from the copper worm, and gave each
a raw drink; but though De Lancey

CHAPTER VII,

There are some people In this world
with whom it seems impossible to quar-
irel. notably the parents of attractive
daughters
Perhaps, If Gracia Aragon had not
been watching him from the window
lPhilp De Lancey would not have been
quite 80 cordial with her father-at
least, that was what Hooker thought,
and ne was so badly peeved at the
way things had gone that he said it,
too
Then, of course, they quarreled, and,
one thing leading to another, Phil told
Bud he had very low way of speak
ing. Bud replied that, whatever his
deficiencies of speech might be, he
was not fool enough to be drawn in
by skirt, and Phil rebuked him again.
Ihen, with a scornful grunt, Bud
Hooker rode on In silence and they
said no more about 1t.
1t was a gay life that they led at
might for the Fortuna hotel was filled
with men Of their kind, since all the
staid married men had either moved
across the line with their families or
were under orders to come straight
home.
In the daytime the hotel was nearly
deserted, for every man in town was
working for the company; but in the
Ievening. when they gathered around
the massive stove, 1t was a merry com.
Ipany indeed.
There were college men, full Of good

have been written in books. But not a
college boy could match stories with
Phil De Lancey. and few wanderers
there were who could tell him any.
thing new about Mexico. Also, when
,tt came to popular songs, he knew
both the words and the tune. So he
was much in demand, and Don Juan
passed many drinks across the bar be-
cause of him.
In all such festivities the two pard.
ners stayed together; Bud. with a
broad, indulgent grin. listening to the
end. and Phil, his eyes alight with
liquor and good cheer, talking and
Laughing far into the night
Outside the winter winds were still
cold and the Mexicans went wrapped
to the eyebrows; but within the merry
company was slow to quit, and Phil,
making up for the lonely months
when he had entirely lacked an audi
'ence, sat long in the seat Of honor and
was always the last to go.
But on the evening after their spat
Bud sat of to one side, and even Pills
sprightly and ventriloquistic converse
ton with the-little.g irl-behindthe-door
called forth only fleeting smile.
Bud was thinking, and when en-.
gagged in that arduous occupation even
the saucy little girl behind the door
could not beguile him.
But, after he had studied it all out
and come to definite conclusion. he
did not deliver an ultimatum. The old,
good-natured smile simply came back
to his rugged face; he rolled a cigar.

ming he lay back and enjoyed the
show. Only in the morning, when
they went out to the corral to get their
horses, he carried his war-bag with
him and, after throwing the saddle on
to Copper Bottom, he did the same for
their spare mount
What are you going to pack out,
Bud?" inquired Phil. and Bud slapped
his canvas-covered bed for an answer.
