that always exasperated me. Where
do come in in this deal?"
The scales fell from my eyes, and
/ saw how, through years Of folly, ]
had fostered this mans selfishness,
had time to wash my face in cold
water to steady my nerves a little
before the cab in which we were to
go to dinner was announced. During
the drive to our destination not a
word was said by either my husband
or myself.
Yet / was hardly prepared for the
toast which my husband offered
when, toward the close Of the din
ner, our host laughingly challenged
each man to drink to that which he
loved best. Alfred 6prang to his feet,
holding his glass of champagne high
above his head. The candles lighted
up his handsome, beaming face, his
fine eyes, the CLEAN of his teeth as
his brilliant smile flashed forth.
Gentlemen" he exclaimed, stand
up, every one of you! For 1 drink
to the dearest thing in life or death
to me-my peerless. beautiful wife!"
When the toast had been drunk
amid loud applause, my hostess lean
ed toward me, tears in her honest
eyes.
oh, my dear!" she said, at is
worth while to have lived to win
such love as that"
Three months after the scene L
have described, my father died. l
could not weep as stood by his open
grave, but Alfred, burying his face in
his hands. shook with sobs. The Of

But. Alfred" faltered, 1T Is very
handsome"
Perhaps you think SO. For my
part think 1t is hideous, and an I'M
necessary addition to the house."
"But father meant to please US" I
reminded him.
ITO please you, perhaps" he re
piled. Il beg you to remember that
any addition to this house is not
present to me, nor Is 1t made for my
benefit. The house is yours, you
know-your by the right Of purchase

no claims here. You are careful to
remind me of that by buying things
without consulting me, and your faith
er aids and abets you in 1t by sending
home furniture which I do not like,
and which shall never use"
During all these years Alfred's in
come increased steadily, but we had
no more money to spare. than. when
he drew a smaller salary. Our ex-
penses kept pace cruelty with our re-
sources.
One of the hardest things had to
bear during the last winter of my
fathers life was my husbands re-
sentiment of my care Of him. The dis
ease that was killing the elderly man
made him weaker each month, but to
the last he kept up and about and
dreaded to give trouble. He insisted
upon paying higher board to me, as
he said that he knew the delicacies
he must have to suit his weak diges-
ton were an added expense. He had
nurse come in and attend to him
each night and morning to relieve
me of care. Yet my husband would
fly into a temper whenever spent
ten minutes with the sick man while
he was at home. One evening my
husband and / we're going to dinner

and, being entirely ready, / went into

husband stood at the head of the
stairs awaiting me. He asked me,
stif1y, to come down to the library.
l went with him, silently, for knew
there was a storm brewing. Closing
the door behind me, he said:

make slave of yourself to your
fathers whims for the next ten
years? He may live as long as that,

what the small amount was, only that
it was not much. was sure that II
he knew the real sum he would some
day come to me with a complaint of
the cost of living, and that would
weakly help him out by letting him
use my money. In justice to my boys
I had no right to do this.

My fathers health was not strong,

natured man than he, nor more low
ing parent. He must have seen the
difficulties in my path, for he tried, in
little unobtrusiye ways, to make
things easy for me. ALI these small
acts of thoughtfulness Alfred would
resent, for he was jealous of my love

his anger when father made me a

Yet what could I do or say when
my boys would come to me after
such a scene and express their indig-

Paris.-The Germans are continu-
ing their efforts to break through the
allied Gordon to attack Dunkirk, the
the vicinity of Dixmude and Roulers.
A series of assaults in force were de-
Hvered by the Germans, but, accord
ing to military headquarters here, all
failed.
There are significant rumOrs of i'm
pending trouble for the Germans in
the north through bold stroke on
the part of the allies. Reports are
current here that the allies have been
able to land strong force either at
or near Ostend under the guns of the
British fleet. If this should turn out
to be true the Germans will be men
aced by an attack from their rear.
There is, however, absolutely no con-
firmatiOn.
Fighting without definite result
continues at Courtrai, in the vicinity
Of Lille, and along the Lys river and
the La Basse canal.
Petrograd.-OfficiaI statements de-
clare that the Germans are cOntinu-
ing their efforts to cross the Vistula
river at several points despite heavy
losses. At no point, says the state
ment, have they succeeded. The Rus
slams are declared to be advancing
steadily although slowly on the War
saw-Ivangorod front, driving the Ger
mans before them. According to a
statement published in the Army Ga
zette some $4,000 German dead, left
on the field by the retreating Ger
mans, were buried by the Russians.
The war Office states that the Ger
man right wing, which is extended in
to Galcia, has been making deter
mined attacks in cooperation with
the Austrians, but it is claimed that
at no point has the enemy succeeded
in gaining any distinct advantage.
The Austrians have attempted to

A Six Days Course

During Prof. A. M. McOmie's
visit here this week, he practic-
ally closed arrangements for the
holding of a six days course in
dry farming, stock raising, insect
pest and control and domestic
science at the Snowflake Stake
academy. The course will be
given the latter part of March or
the fore part of April, with field
demonstrations. The work will
be from 9 a. m. till A p. M, and
special night sessions will also be
held. One of the requirements
for the securing of this course
is that one hundred or more per
sons be in attendance. Prof:
Peterson and President Samuel
F. Smith have the matter in hand
and there is not much doubt as
to it's success.

MuSt Have Run
Out of Coats Milk

Ralph Lopez, the Mexican who
declared that six men would have
to die before his pursuers got
him." seems to have made good
his boast when the search for
him in the Utah-Apex mine, near
Bingham, Utah, was abandoned
last Saturday night.
Sheriff Smith at a late hour,
suddenly called his deputies from
the working and left the portals
unguarded for the first time since
November 9th. The sheriff said
that his sudden determination to
abandon the search was reached
only after he was satisfied that
Lopez either had escaped or been
crushed to death beneath some
cave-in that would prevent his
body being found. Many miners
plan to begin search on their own
account. There is a reward OF
ST, 900 for Lopez or the recovery
of his body.

CATTLEMEN OF PINEDALE
FORM A LIVE STOCK
ASSOCIATION

A meeting was held in Pine
dale Tuesday, January 7th, for
the purpose of organizing a live
stock association. The meeting
was attended by most of the
Pinedale stockmen, as we'll as a
number of others who have in
terests in the Pinedale grazing
district of the Sitgreaves Ma
tional forest.
This organization is being
formed for the purpose of secur-
ing cooperation among the cat
tie owners in such matters as
sailing stock, developing water
ing places, constructing drift
fences, and conducting round
ups or any Other matters in
which the people have interests
in common. The organization
also gives the stockmen a voice
in the regulation of the Forest
range, as it is their intention to
secure the recognition of the
District Forester, in order that
they may have an opportunity to
recommend the establishment of
special rules for their range, and
also an opportunity to be heard
by the Forest Supervisor in re-
gard to proposed changes.
The following officers were
elected:
President, E. Thomas, Jr.,
Pinedale.
Vice-President, Jas. Petersen,
Pledale.
Secretary, N. A. Petersen,
Pinedale.
Executive Board, N. A. Brim-
hall, (chairman), w. R. Brewer,
C. C. Bryant, E. Thomas, Jr.
and Jas. Petersen.
In addition to the above, the
following stock owners and For
est officers were in attendance:
Chas. H. Ballard, of Snowflake;
Jesse H. Pearce and John E.
Palmer, of Taylor; E. M. Thomas,
Jos. L. Petersen, David Dalton,
Dolph E. Slosson, John Lewis,
A. w. Crandell, Will Cheney and
A. ]. Brewer, of Pinedale.
Forest Supervisor Charles H.
Jenning and Mr.. C. H. Kissam
went up from Snowflake in Mr..
Jennings Buick, and, with For
est Ranger V. D. Smith, of the
Pinedale district, represented the
Forest service.
1t is hoped that greatamount
of practical good will result from
the organization of this associa-
tion.
