He had shock of genuine terror

Up to that moment he had suffered

He considered it for a moment, and
then got up and went in search Of a
pencil and a scrap of paper. The doz-
ing night clerk gave him both, with
a sleepy malediction thrown in; and
he went back to the engine room and
scrubbed his word picture by the light
of the swinging incandescent.
He read it over thoroughly when it
was finished, changing a word here
and a phrase there with a craftsman

shook his head regretfully and tore the

Something half familiar in his man

Story of a Man Who Was Max
ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, the st. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained very inter
estfng account of the experiences of
man from Staples. MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way, he decided to look up home
stead in Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount
ing his experiences of few years, in
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable.
with a small amount of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
in the fall after fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, a complete set OF
farm machinery including two wagons
and a Swell top buggy and eleven
head of cattle. He continues, How
ever, was not satisfied. I had been
reading of the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana
Wheat was cheap and I thought it
would get cheaper. so 1 began to think
that demonstrating as moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
I did not stop to consider that wheat
was not the only thing; as a matter
of fact had sold pork for Il cents
pound. Eggs and butter had kept US
| in groceries and more, we had now
four mich COWS, two heifers coming in
and more growing up. We had cream
! separator, and some hogs. We had
! quarter section of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but 1 could
not see all that; 1 had the moving
fever, and decided to sell.
1 set the price on the land at So 600
cash. I could not find anyone with
| that much money, however, so 1 came
down until finally sold for S1,400.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third OF
what they had cost. The cattle
brought a good price.
Must Make Another Start.
We now have a homestead in Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled, what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need, and little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle, though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. We have about $500
worth of honest debts.
True, we have a half section in
place of quarter, but that is no good
to us, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work it.
In summarizing it all up see where
I made my mistake. 1t will take fully
five years to get into as good circum-
stances as We were before we made
the change. 1t is five years lost
My advice to anyone contemplat-
ing a change of location is to think
twice before you act, and if your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad,
stay by your bush till you pick it

Huntino Trouble,

When a man just naturally wants
trouble it is mighty easy to find an
excuse for making it. According to
Mike Hogan, Casey and O'Brien were
having an argument of their own at
Breckenridge street and Barrett ave
nue. 1t had progressed TO the extent
that each had forgotten what it was
about originally, and they were
wholly oblivious of the gathering
crowd until an urbane and genteel
person in a frock coat put in.
Come, come, my man." he said,
gently plucking Casey by the sleeve
You don't want to fight; 1 can tell
it by your looks. Your face is too

Cynical Recipe for Success.

Oliver Onions, author OF "Mush-

"a cynical friend told me the other
day that the secret of success was to
get a name for incorruptibility and
then go ahead and corrupt it for much
gold I'm sure there's a weak spot In
this somewhere, but Judging from a
good many, both Of writers and poll
ticians, perhaps there's something in
it. Only unfortunately 1 can't apply
the recipe to my own work, because
1 have too much fun writing to think
about corruption one way or the
other"

young man who had courteously made
way for her at the teller's wicket in
the Bayou State Security; who had

President Galbraith.
1t was said of Charlotte Farnham
that she was sensible beyond her
years, and withaI strong and straight
forward in honesty of purpose None
the less, she was a woman. And when
she saw what was before her, con-
science turned traitor and fed away
to give place to an uprush Of hesitant
doubts born of the sharp trial of the
moment.
She got upon her feet. steadying her
self by the back of her shair. She felt
that she could not trust herself if she
once admitted the thin edge of the
wedge of delay. The simple and
straightforward thing to do was to go
Immediately to the captain and tell him
of her discovery, but she shrank from

would seize him: he had proved that
he was a desperate man, and there
would be a struggle. And when the
struggle was over they would bring
him to her and she would have to
stand forth as his aceuser.
1t was too shocking, and she caught

to President GaIbraith, giving such a
description of the deck-hand as would

without her personal help. 1t was
