covered by a revolver held by Wayne
Ivesson. His face, usually rather pale,
was flushed and his eyes were keen.

commanded Miss Crandall, may 1

Everything of value had been oblig

flashing into his Outside, an Older
man on horseback stood with leveled
rifle by the coach.
Hands up, all of you," he called.
Come on, kid. It's all right"
And Wayne slipped down from the
coach, but stopped, for the old gentle
man held revolver at his head.
Got you this trip he said pleas
antly. ''Sit still, ladies. All right,
Lewis!''
Lewis suddenly felt the touch of
steel in his hand Old Ben had some
how crumpled down at the bandits
first warning shot, but the girl was
in his place, holding the reins. At
the voice from the rear of the coach,
the man on horseback wheeled his
horse, and started on a headlong gal
lop down the gulch road, but Lewis
fired after him, bringing the horse to
his knees, and he lay motionless with
his rider under him.
1t had all happened so suddenly
that the girls and women had watched
the scene in silent horror. Claire was
first to note the surprising change IN
the girl on the box. Her hat was
off. She was short-haired and boyish,
and was on the ground laughing and
talking while Wayne was bound hand

Gwen waited, white faced and trou-

and she laid her hand impulsively on

but it BETRAYED to him all of her

closely.

Cheating.
BY RUTH CAMERON.

There are certain quotations that
find it an excellent thing to cite to
myself about once in so often. One
is that familiar line of Canon Farrar,
which 1 have so frequently quoted to
you, 1.-The only real failure possible
is not to have been true to the best
one knows
Another is the equally familiar
warning from Stevenson, There is
an idea abroad among moral people
that they should make their neighbors
good. One person 1 have to make
good-myself. But my duty to my
neighbor is much more nearly eX-
pressed by saying that I have to make
him happy-if 1 may"
And another, and this is the one
that started me off today-is Kip
ling's.

friends from whom the abominable
BUSINESS of modern life has sepa-
rated me. Vague fragments of grace
full messages 1 will write float
through my mind, and without a card
bought or written, I find myself in a
beatific, self-approving state of mind.
A meeting with a really energetic,
efficient woman awakens me to the
recognition that 1 am not doing half
so much as 1 ought. 1 am disguised
self-respect? By painfully exerting
myself to do a little more that very
day? No, by gradually planning out a
new schedule of work to be entered
upon tomorrow or the day after.
Again. L find myself dreaming of
what 1 would do for some needy pen
sioner if 1 could only sell a certain
piece of work. A pleasant glow of

To make the ground beautiful, the
children themselves. under the super
visor's direction, can plant trees, and
grass, in spots. Now as to the equip
ment, sand bins are of first Importance
and can easily be made by the older
boys and cheaply filled with clean
sand. Swings and see-saws are of
minor importance and are dangerous.
If allowed, at all,they should be placed
in a restricted quarter because only
a few children can use them at any
one time. But by using volley ball
outfits, baseballs, basketballs, games
can be organized which not only ac-
commodate a large number of chill
dren but develop excellent traits of
cooperation, team work, honesty,
agility, and quickness of thought and
judgment. For twenty-five dollars,
equipment for these games, which is
ample for one hundred and fifty chill
dren, can be bought. :. This removes
the usual objections to Fairgrounds
made by city officials-that of ex-
pense. AS soon as they realize the
importance of Fairgrounds, not only to
the individual boy, but to the city it
self, no community will be without
facilities for play. Kansas towns are
growing and will continue to grow.
Some day they will wake up to the
fact that they have slums with the
inevitable juvenile delinquency and
eXorbitant real estate prices which
make Fairgrounds prohibitive. East
ern cities are facing this problem now.
and many of them find it impossible
n
and are compelled to use the roofs of
buildings and to close side streets to
traffic so that the children may have
room to play. One of the states
best aids in building citizens is tho
playground. 1t is there that the ideals
of loyalty, patriotism and self-sacrifice
are taught. The playground is indis-
pensable to democracy.

FAIRGROUNDS FOR TOWNS.

How can a small town afford a
playground? asks Olive Ewing Clap
per, director of the playground staff
of Kansas City, Kan, IN an article in
the March number of Kansas Nun
icipalities, the official organ of the
League of Kansas Municipalities, and
Miss Clapper proceeds to set forth
the answer and the need Of play
grounds in a convincing manner as
follows. in part: To the average city
official a playground means an initial
expenditure of five hundred. dollars
for equipment alone, and he inme-
diately dismisses the idea as an i'm
possibility. But the fact is that
serviceable playground equipment can
be purchased for twenty-five dollars
All that is necessary is a small plot of
ground with space for sand bins, bas-
ketball. volley ball, baseball, running
track and folk games. The old way
was to squeeze into the playground
as many swings, see-saws and other
dangerous apparatus as possible. Now
\ the idea is to develop the child by
cooperative team games which re-
quire no expensive equipment Of
course all play, to be constructive,
/ must be supervised. We have not
time to argue this point. Officials
often think equipment is the most i'm
portant thing in making a playground,
/ but it is really least important. The
thing of first Importance is organiza-
ton; next equipment for games; last
such apparatus as swings and slides.
These are important chiefly to adver-
tise the ground and to induce children
to stay on the playground. To begin
with, the lot should be levelled, and
the work of surfacing need not cause
| trouble. Simple instructions are given
by DR.. Henry Curtis, formerly of the
National Playground association, as
follows: Remove soil to considerable
depth; grade this subsurface for drain
age and fill ground with cinders and
broken stones to original level Then
there should be fine top dressing
! of sand, fine gravel, or broken stone.'

An educational campaign against
lynching is to be launched in the
south by a new association of south
ern church colleges. And while this
undertaking is most admirable and
may bear fruit in the distant future,
the end sought would undoubtedly be
obtained more quickly and emphati-
cally were some of the public officials
of the south, those entrusted with the
Preservation of the peace, sufficiently
courag eous to apply the utmost rigors
OF the law to a mob or two. If some
righteous examples were made of a
few mobs, it is almost a certainty that
their fiendish practices would soon
become less popular.

THE SCHOOL FOR PEACE OR WAR

1t has long been evident, though the
fact has not yet made its due i'm
preston, that industrialism is the
modern training school for war or
peace, writes William J. Tucker in
the April Atlantic. 1t is there that
men are actually thinking of one an
other in terms of war or peace. 1t is
there that they learn to organize for
or against one another. The lockout
and the strike are distinctly warlike
measures. Arbitration is a term of
war, the most advanced term look
ing toward peace, but still presuppos-
ing a state of warfare. Cooperation,
in some one of its manifold forms, is
the only distinctive term of peace. 1t

WANTED a MAN.

We want man like Teddy to guide our
ship of state
To shun the rocks and breakers before it
A nation waits with baited breath and
peers across the foam
To catch some word or signal from his
quiet ocean home.
An ample stick for honor's sake has proved
That where the people give assent they
have no falling out
A faithful friend of human rights in wis
dom shines afar
Then discord gets a Knockout blow and
trade moves without a jar
No cause too high or call too low to test
his wondrous mind,
He bears the burdens of his race, a type
that's hard a find,
In White House home or Jungles deep he
moves with equal care
All men revere his proweSS, what child
don't know the Teddy Bear"
Then rally. all united hosts, grid on your
And put our Roosevelt in the chair in spite
of seeming foes,
Our country calls such men as you to fill
the greatest trust
We know your record running back when
combines got thrust.
A statesman true of planished mold, re-
coupes the living man,
No jealous thoughts in his soul, a
grateful people speaks again,
Such noble stock will serve our needs in
war as well as peace
Once tried there comes sad regrets, a
nations honor still increase.
Ten million hands reach out to grasp, mil
lions of eyes to see,
We want you, Teddy, just as sure as we
did in nineteen three
You served US once without a flaw our
phghted faith renew
The stars and stripes will float aloft, while
hats go up for you.
