CLIMBING THE IMMATURE FOUNTAINS

a big city, because in addition to its
wealth of plant growth it is one Of the
great way-stations of the birds in their
flights to and from the South. The
chain of the great lakes bars the North
and South pathway of the birds for
hundreds of miles, and in their multi
tudes they sweep round the western
edge of Lake Michigan to find the first
open road. In the spring and fall hun
dreds of different species stop over in
the wooded country of the dunes to rest
their wings.
Eagles Seen There.
Prof. Fl. C. Cowles of the department
of botany in the University of Chicago,
who has worked and studied in the
dunes for 20 years, has often seen
eagles there. Many varieties of owls
and hawks are also among the feath-
cred residents.
A large part Of the dune country
which is adjacent to Chicago has al
ready been exploited. The manufacture
ing town of Gary was built among the
dunes, which were leveled to suit the
purposes of commerce. Another big
tract is used as a sand mine and ruined
as an object of natural beauty ard in
tereSt.
1t happens that during the Gary
boom a tract of 1850 acres, lying be-
tween Dune Park station and Michigan
City, was bought UP by local syndi-
cate and is still held untouched in its
original condition. 1t fronts eight miles
on Lake Michigan, and Professor
Cowles is authority for the statement
that it's beach cannot be surpassed by
that at Atlantic City. The slope out to
deep water is most gradual, and the
sand itself is much finer than ordinary
sea sand, because it is sifted by the
winds, which leave only the finest.

Lately earnest efforts have been
made to induce Indiana to purchase the

the federal government acquire it and
set 1t aside as national park.
Wonderful Wild Flowers.
The first thing which makes the sand

which grow there and nowhere else

only much farther north, blooms in all

The suggestion proved agreeable

along the road together, Frank hold

AS they chatted gaily, all his past life
rose up to confront him. What a fool
he had been, regular rolling stone,
when he could have settled in this
town long before and known girls like
this.
He told her as much, and indicated
so strongly his meaning that the girl
looked like peony when they reached
the outskirts of Eppingham. Yet he
could see that she was not dispIeased
with him.
'Why don't you settle here and try?"
she asked.

At this moment Frank perceived the

leading the horse, he stopped in par
