SECRETARY HOUSTON
INSPECTING FORESTS

Iment OF lands more valuable for farm
than for forest purposes. Extensive
| land classification has been made pos
sible by a special appropriation OF
congress for this purpose. renewed
each year since 1912. Up to date,
about 5000 agricultural homesteads
have been listed within the national
forests, opening to agricultural de-
yelopment nearly 100000 acres OF
amount Of agricultural development
| is provided for under special use
permits where for any special reason
| listing does not afford practicable
means OF meeting settlers needs.
More than 81 900 special use per
mits OF all kinds have been issued to
the public since 1905, granting free
or for a reasonable charge permission
to conduct all sorts Of enterprises on
national forest land. They include
apiaries, barns, boat houses, botanical
gardens, cemeteries. cnurcnes' COT
tages. golf links, hotels, mines. min
eraI springs. observatories, orchards.
lQuarries, railroads, ranches. resi-
dences, restaurants. rife ranges,
roads. sanitariums. sawmills. slaugh-
ter houses. telegraph and telephone
lines. tennis courts, tramways, tun-
nels. water power plants, wells, welrs
and wharves. The total income from
special use permits in 1914 was over
s131.oo.
Farmers. prospectors and local
settlers of all classes. who needed
timber for their own use in the con-
struction of houses, barns, fences.
and the like. were given free more
than 10000. feet of national
forest timber during 1914, while
about 100000 feet was sold TO
settlers, ranchers and others at cost
prices. The timber sale business or
the national forests amounts to
about S1.25o,000 annually, more
than 1,5O0.0o0.00o board feet OF
stumpage having been sold to lum-
Der operators last year
The forests contain most OF the
picturesque wilderness in the coun-
try. and their recreationa1 resources
are practically unlimited. More
than 1000 cottages have ben built
on the forests by summer residents
under the permit system, which has
been supplemented by a law provid-
ing that tracts OF five acres or less
may be leased for periods not to ex-
coed thirty years. This law, under
which leasing regulations have just
been promulgated by the secretary
of agriculture. is expected to stfmu-
late recreational development of
the forests. Already a large num-
Der of applications to least national

sites has been received and even
communities are beginning to take
advantage of the forests situated
near them by obtaining tracts for
use as picnic, camping and play
grounds.

Needless Interruptions.

A New Yorker writes the Times to
protest against a habit he says met
ropolitan women have of knitting at
concerts. Recently, he declares, he
was obliged to sit near a knitter and
the click of her busy needles dis
turbed him.
Here is a serious issue. One has
seen a woman, returning from mar
ket, Smelling her beans on the street
lar. There could be no objection to
her plucking a holiday goose under
the same circumstances, provided she
didn't scatter feathers on the floor
But knitting at a concert is differ
emit A knitting needle obbligato to a
harp selection might lack something
of the ideal. One might better take
a basket of corn to husk, or an arm
full of stockings to darn.
Almost any concert enthusiast will
agree with the Times complainant. II
the music is not to ones liking it is
better to exchange whispered stories
with ones neighbor than to disturb
the assemblage with clicking needles.

battle was waged, an hour later,
Hyde's barn was full to overlooking
with enthusiastic spectators. Candor
compels the admission that Conrad
was worsted in the encounter, but that
was not the point. He had fought
gamely from beginning to end.
That was his initiation From that
day he was admitted to be a man
among men, without any regard what
ever to nationality or habit of
speech; and where the boys led, fol-
lowed the girls. Through them he pa
tientTy plOdded to Blanche Reynolds,
and having secured her frank favor
there was nothing more in this world
that he wanted. He was the acknowl-
edged sutton of the handsomest, the
most brilliant, the most wonderfully
endowed girl in all the world; he lived
in home atmosphere that to him was
divine; his work was not only con-
genial; it was his life, and his en-
ployers- precious thing to this vivid
motionalist-trusted him implicitly.
Both to save expense and to con-
centrate energy, the office had been
moved down to the mill, where Con-
rad became not only designer and
craftsman, but timekeeper.
One evening Harper asked for his
time-book.
Perched on a high stool, Harper
read him the items one by one; that
on such date one workman had put
in nine hours, another six, another
two, and so on through the spring and
the early summer.
THAT cannot be- objected Conrad
at one point, raising his head; Wright
hat not work nine hours by the 10Th.
That day he hat been hurt"
That's so,' admitted Harper, con-
fused. I'm looking at the wrong line.
1t was on the 2Sth he worked nine
hours"
ia, but on the 18th you hat read it
seven hours"
THAT was a mistake, too" said
Harper impatiently. Make it nine"
Conrad looked troubled. The whole
time-list had an unfamiliar look to
him, and it bothered him that his usu-
ally Photographic memory should be
confused. 1t did not occur to him
for an instant to suspect that Harper

the Truth.

Conspicuous on the end of the coun-
ter in the little cigar shop was brand
new, highly ornate cigar lighter made
of heavy bronze. 1t was the type
which has a wire rod sheathed in a
phial of alcohol, from which the rod
is drawn to be dipped in a jet of fire.
So proud was the cigarmaker of the
new fixture that he pointed it out to
every customer with special courtesy.
While thus engaged one evening re-

declared to man who was waiting
for a light. Where can it be?"
Easy question to answer" smiled
the customer. "That little rod is out
there on the pavement just outside
the door. 1 have not seen it, but
know it is there"
Sure enough, it is there" ex-
claimed the cigarmaker, rushing to
recover his property. How did you
know that?"

be that of a professional detective"
exclaimed the customer, 81 find that
a knowledge of the human inclination
to do many trifling things unconscious
ly is of value. In the present case

toner to throw away the cigar lighter
after using it precisely as if it were
a match. He did it without thinking.
He threw the rod either to the right
or left, after lighting his cigar, &C
cording to the hand he had used.
Now, the rod was not on the floor
to his left, for looked carefully when
you spoke. Consequently it had to be
on the pavement. as the cigar lighter
stands just next to the open door.

Harper was ash-white under the ac-
cusation that he could not resent.
Where are you going?" he STAN
mered

answered Conrad. Il forgif you," and
he was gone.
Harper was still sitting rigidly upon
the stool when Meade came bustling
in five minutes later.
Got a new job for you, SAM" he
said. I've made Parsons consent to
tear down the rickety old buildings on
his corner and put up good business
block. Say, what's the matter with
you, anyhow"
Harper had not moved He had been
gazing at Meade with fixed eyes, like
one in horror-stricken trance; but
now he drew from his pocket the
check that Meade had given him but
an hour before and proffered it,

"Oh, climb down from your perchI"
Meade whipped out with no abatement
whatever of his crisp manner. Nov,

sane man.

"Gad!" exclaimed Harper. For the
moment l had forgotten him. l read
off those items to him from the old
book last night, changing them as l
went along. He found out this morn

me thief and left. God knows what
it cost him. There's a girl here that
well, after he went away had to re-
nege."
Away" yelled Meade. What do
you mean by 'away?' Not that he's
going to leave Holden?"
Just that" affirmed Harper. HE
said he couldn't look my wife and me
in the face and tell on me, and
couldn't look you in the face and not

III.

When they were through, after
three solid hours of toll, Harper sent
Conrad home ahead of him while he
counted up the new record. AS re-
vised, the book showed over a thou
sand dollars still due him from Meade
enough to tide him over this desper-
ate pinch in which he found himself
Musing in pallid-faced self-loathing
over this, his first departure from rec
titude, he did thing inexplicable even
in one of his careless habits. He de-
stroyed the old book, abstractedly
tearing it up page by page and drop
ping it in the wastebasket.
In the morning came Conrad, and
recognized those scraps at once. On
the table lay the new book where Har-
per had left it the night before. Me-
chanically obeying the memorable logic
of the situation, Conrad picked some
of the scraps from the basket and COM
pared entries. Every legible word
was damning. Here, on the 18th, was
Turner, on the old book three hours,
in the new book nine. Wright was in
the new book for nine hours on that
date, and in the old one his name was
not written down at all, for he had
been at work on another job.
Then Harper came in, strangely
shaken, though trying to preserve an
air of easy nonchalance.

for there was almost no foreign ele-

Harper, with whom economy was a
stern necessity, brought cot into the
Office, and for a week Conrad slept
upon this cot, taking his meals at a
nearby restaurant. During that week
Harper studied his craftsman closely,
and Mrs. Harper made two unobtru-
sive trips to the office for the same
purpose. On Sunday Conrad was taken
to the Harper home and formally in
stalled.

Mrs. Harper pronounced in surprise
after the first week. After you get

Elsie fairly loves him. She makes
him rock her to sleep every noon be-
fore he goes back to work.
1t was the good-fellowship of this
couple, together with their unwaver-
ing affection, which made Conrad turn
his admiration of them to the same
degree of worship that he had already
bestowed upon four-year-old Elsie His
lines were cast in pleasant places in
deed, and he thrust his roots deeply
into the soil.
At first he had to overcome the
same contemptuous prejudice that had
bestowed upon him the title of the
Dutchman." Mrs. Harper introduced
him to some nice girls, but secretly
they laughed at his broken English;
and Blanche Reynolds, by whom he
was at once speechlessly smitten,
openly flouted him; whereat Mrs. Har-
per wanted to shake her. With the
young men he was in somewhat less
constraint, though even here he was
still an alien until one evening when,
