PROLOGUE.

A story with the refreshing
breath of the great outdoors. is
this. The romance and glamour
of the wide, wide west of days
past are reflected in every chap
ter. Lahon,a, saved from vio-
lent death by what is really a
modern miracle, becomes a vital
factor in the Wild. rough lives of
pioneers of the plains. Indian
strategy and Indian loyalty to
true friends play no small part
in this interesting narrative. The
story demonstrates above all else
the facts that honest simplicity
in character and thorough sim
certify in dealing with ones Jel-
low men are virtues certain to
bring n7erited reward. The
rapid action of the novel and the
vivid word painting of the char
octers in it will make it one OF
unusual attractipeness to discern
ing readers.

Again the Boy Scouts Make Good.

People driving on Washington road
will notice that stakes have been
driven to mark each of the 218 tulip
poplar trees given to Westminster by
Mr. Besley,. the State Forester, and
which had been planted about two
weeks ago.
The pickets used for the purpose
were generously donated by the firm
of Smith a. Reifsnider, who delivered
them to the farm of Mr.. Austin Gal
lagher for preparation with gas tar
to prevent their decaying. The
stakes were also stenciled with the
words State Roadside Tree" on
each. But the best part was their
being driven into the ground, on last
Saturday morning By ten members o.
the Westminster Boy Scouts, who
marched out to the Washington Road
I equipped for the work, at about $50
1 O'Clock, headed by the Scout Master
DIR. Forlines.
The boys kindly offering their ser
vices for this work were: Robert
Brown, Harold Ruthrauff, Charles
Roger, Ross Myers, Delbin Witter
Paul Lawyer, Lewis Nygren. Calvin
Slagle, Randolph Edwards, Sterling
numbered fourteen In all.
Thanks are certainly due these
kind volunteers; but it is hoped that
they will be amply repaid, later ON,
by the comfort and beauty which a
shady avenue lends to any city ap-
proach.
