gagged. saw horse running wildly
across a far field. recognized that
horse as whizzer, the widest horse on
the ranch. Pursuing this runaway
Whizzer had broken out of the corral
were Chip and Weary. UP hill and
down they chased that wild Whizzer,
till at last Chip roped him.
And then, to my horror, saw Chip
take his saddle from his own horse
and place 1t on Whizzer. 1t was his
determination to break" that wild
broncho there and then. gasped with
terror
Nothing must happen to my Chip.
That would never do l was now my
self too deeply interested in this young
foreman to view with equanimity the
danger to which he was now about to
subject his manly pereon.
! sprang up and shouted: Don't
Chip, don't. You'll get hurt!"
But Chip was too far away to hear
my cry of distress. He mounted that
Whizzer animal and away that wild
broncho sped-trying its best to upset
my hero" And-I think came near
to fainting. The horse threw him.
And that was not all. The horse
sped on-Weary after him with a
lasso. And there was my Chip being
dragged over the ground at fearful
pace. Somehow, his lariat had become
loosened from the saddle and had
caught in his big Mexican spur. just
at the moment when the horse threw
him.
So now-well, I've read of the days
when savages deliberately tied victims
to a wild horse and caused the victim
to be dragged to his death thus. And
here before my very eyes. Chip of the
Flying U was being dragged-was it
to his death? My heart stood still,
think, as / watched that spectacular
dragging of Chip over the rough
ground for perhaps hundreds of yards
till at last, Weary-faithful. capable
Weary! bless his heart-rored the
wild Whizzer-and Chip lay perfectly
still on the ground.
With the speed OF an athlete
guess 1t was some such speed as that
i ran to the place where Chip lay so
still. He was in great pain. One could
see that at glance. But like stole
and Spartan. he neither groaned nor
complained. He merely said:
Miss Whitmore, are dislocated
ankles, in yoyr liner
Dislocated ankle! Nothing more
painful.

"and bring help. We must get Mr..
Chip to the ranch quick, SO / can set
that ankle"

till then-he told me, during that
dance, that 1t had been four years
since he had attended a dance and so
he knew nothing about these new
tangled didos called the tango and
bear and bunny hug and all that sort
of thing.
At last, unable to master the step to
the syncopated music, he suggested
that we walk out In the moonlight.
Out into the Montana moonlight we
strolled. And Chip was just about to
speak with his hand on his heart and
declare his undying affection for tho
little doctor"-when We passed the
window of my office. l happened to
glance in. And what l saw froze the
blood in my veins-or at least it made
me scream with dismay.
Look" cried Those children are
going to swallow lot of medicine
from my medicine chest"
Chip was as mad as a hornet. His
love speech had been interrupted and
now he'd never have another such
chance, in the moonlight, to tell me OF
his undying love.
l bolted into the house and saved
those children from an awful case OF
stomach ache-just in time. For they
were about to swallow no end of medi-
cines with Latin names. medicines
which, II taken In an overdose-as
those children from a neighboring
ranch meant to take-would have
made horse writhe in agony. And
so Chips great chance for lowering in
the moonlight was all spoiled and Chip
was exceedingly huffed, not to say
miffed and peculiarly silent thereafter
through the remainder Of the dancing
hours devoted to that ranch ball.

Jne night train, Saturday Septem-
Der 25th
Arriving in Atlanta they found
they had some eight hours to
spend before the Southern left for
Washington so they started out to
take in Atlanta. Remembering
some of the friends made here dur
ing the U. g. V. Reunion some
of the visitors went to the Old
Soldiers home, just out of Atlanta.
where they renewed the acquaint-
ance of the men who had fought
for the lost cause.
A few months ago a bunch of
muckrakers raised CIV that the
management Of the home was in.
efficient and that the old men were
not treated right. If anyone still
has any suspicion that this is the
case, the easiest way to lose that
opinion is to visit the home.
The two buildings, the main
building and the hospital, are
situated on a knoll and the gently
sloping grounds leading up to them
are beautifully decorated with
flower beds, turf and trees. The
hospital, which sad to say, is al
ways occupied by few old men
who find the burden of the years
too heavy to carry unaided, is
neat ole story structure whose
long broad veranda is always
pleasantly sunny. The main build
ing is simply large hotel con-
Quoted on the American plan, with
about two hundred guests, (which
guests are really guests in the
true sense of the word.)
The rooms are all airy, every
one opening on an area or the
outside of the building and we'll
furnished.
The dining room seats all the
vets and they say that the fare is
as good as they could wish.
The parlor is furnished with
sofas and easy chairs and a Grafa-
nola and the later is a great source
of enjoyment to the old soldiers.
And if after seeing the buildings
and grounds you are not satisfied
just sit down with the veterans
and listen to them talk for a few
minutes. / doubt if you can find
a jollier, better contented bunch
any place else in the United States.
The Southern was few minutes
late so the tourists waited in the
big terminal station and while
waiting department commander
Todd gave ribbons with the word
Georgia on them to the Georgia
delegation of the G. A. r.
The Southern from New Orleans
and St. Louis finally pulled in and
the party boarded the train for a
very pleasant ride through the
hills and mountains of North Geor-
gia, which for beauty and gran
deur will rank we'll with any of
the eastern mountains. When night
fell the train was in the prettiest
of the mountain scenery.
The Vets from Fitzgerald had
expected to be joined by large
delegation from Atlanta but in
this hope they we're disappointed.
However Commander Mango of
the Dept. of Alabama, G. A. r.
Joined the party there.

A Trip To The Capitol
By Stewart r. Gelders

luscious fruit caused many of the
passengers to wish that the train
would be forced to stop for few
minutes in front of one of the
orchards.
Finally, shortly before noon, it
could be seen that they were draw
ing near to the capitol city and
several minutes before the CITY
itself could be seen the top of that
towering shaft, one of the great
monuments of the world, Wash
ington's monument could be seen.
Then the train reached Wash
ington, the city of broad streets,
beautiful parks and monuments,
matchless buildings. Barely a
glimpse of the splendors of the
city could be seen when the train
whisked irto the tunnel which
leads under the city, under the
capitol itself to the grand Union
Station, one of the largest railway
stations in tie world and one of
the most beautiful. Passing up
the steps throu the rotunda into
the grandlY spacious waiting room
which is capable of holding thou
sands of people whose vaulted
ceiling is decorated in gold leaf.
The hugeness and grandeur of
this station probably impressed
the tourist who sees the Capitol
City for the first time more than
any of the other equally grand and
grander buildings in the city be-
cause after seeing so many large
edifces the idea of proportion
seems to be lost and although one
is impressed with the size one is
not awed as he would be if one of
the great buildings were placed to
itself among ordinary structures.
Fronting the Union Station is
the Columbus circle with beauti-
full monument to that discoverer
and a fountain which would make
an excellent swimming pool. This
is only one of many such monu-
ments in this city of monuments.
AS the train pulled IN shortly
after twelve and many of the
points of interest in Washington
are closed to visitors at two-thlr-
tY, there was not much to be seen
the first day. But to keep from
wasting any time, which is one of
the most valuable things on a
sight seeing trip, the writer took
in a baseball game where he saw
the Georgia Peach get IN scrap
and be put out of the game in the
second inning. Cobb has had bad
luck, he had famed out and he
was mad.
The Congressional Library is
the only Government building
open at night and on the inside it
is most beautiful at night. The
Congressional Library is the most
beautiful Library building in the
world today. It covers a solid
square. 1t has a dome of gold
leaf and gold leaf is used profuse-
lX in the interior decorations
Priceless mosaics and paintings
decorate the walls and all the
floors and stairways are of the
best marble. The gallery around
the rotunda is embellished with
statues in heroic size representing
different periods. The view from
this gallery into the reading room
is wonderful. The circular reading
room will accommodate hundreds
of readers. There is another
reading room for periodicals which
will also accommodate a great
