admiration. three children stood and
marvelled. They evidently had just
been admitted from another room.
Beaming on them with maternal pride,
stood woman with rosy cheeks and
coal black hair, telling them, no
doubt, of the wonderful things that
would grow on that tree over night.
1t was Christmas eve; Danny had no
thought of that before. And tomOr-
row would be the day of "Peace on
earth, good will toward men," And
here was he, Danny Donovan, with
black murder in his heart. A feeling
| of deep shame came over him and he
lowered the hammer Of his revolver,
and returned it to its holster.
"By the saints |" he muttered- into
his beard; ''an' I KEN near to putin
an end to a bit of fun like that"
And now the children were sent
away to bed, and the task Of hanging
the presents on the magic tree began.
Unmindful of the biting wind and
snow, Danny watched, and slowly a
feeling of loneliness crept over him,
and with it longing hope that perhaps.
some day, he, too, in his own home
And why not? Over In the Fort Nc
Kenzie settlement was a fair Rose
whose eyes had always been lowered
before the look in his own.
With last lingering look inside the
cabin, Danny made his way to his
team. There new thought came to
him and he paused to ponder it. Did
he not owe these people something?
He had come with heart black as
sin, and he was leaving with heart
| light as air.
He fumbled beneath his pack, in the
bottom Of the sled, and drew out a
deerskin bag 1t was dirty and
greasy, but it was filed with yellow
nuggets and dust. Danny had sew
eral more like it in the sled, for luck
had been with him in the North. He
made loop in the string that fastened
the bag, and plodded back to the door
of the cabin. He felt cautiously about
until he found the latch, then hung
his offering upon it and went back to
his team. With subdued shouts he
reused the dogs, then turned his sled
around and made for the pass the
blizzard at his back and a joyous
ughtness In his step.

BEWARE OF FIRE
March Winds and Dry Weather Make
Daneerouss Combination

That the prevailing high winds and
dry weather are most dangerous COM
bination is evidenced by the unusual
number of fires that are taking place
these days. Press dispatches telling of
disastrous confagrations are ouly too
common and the most earnest attention
by the people of Rocky Ford should be
paid to the request of our fire chief or
our city may meet with the same fate
as that of Paris, Tex, which was wiped
out by flames on Tuesday.
In this time of spring cleanup one is
very apt to apply a match to the win
ter's accumulation of weeds and refuse
but upon the request of Fire Chief
Virgins this paper asks the people to
call up the department when they have
the bonfire ready for the match, and
the likelihood is that some of the fire
company will be with you to watch it
burn and to see that the last spark is
extinguished.

I'm THEE
SOCIAL WORLD

An agreeable surprise was perpetrat-
ed on Monday by James McElroy and
Miss Dorothy Umstead, two of our
well-known and justly popular young
people when they stole away to La
Junta and were there united in the
bonds of wedlock.
The young people were accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Ray Whitney, who
saw to it that the nuptial knot was
most securely tied, and shortly after
ward the two couples left for their
future home in Detroit, Mich.
When the news of the wedding
reached Rocky Ford there was an i'm
mediate rush for autos to convey a
crowd of young friends to La Junta,
but the newly-weds had made good
their getaway, and so the congratula-
tions of their host of friends, in which
The Enterprise heartily joins, must go
to Mr.. and Mrs. McElroy by mail.
Mrs. Belle M. Musser of Denver,
state inspector of the P. E. O., was
entertained by the local sisterhood at
the home of Mrs. E. H. Gerecke in
Factory Terrace on Wednesday after
noon. The house was tastefully decor
ated in the colors of the order yellow
and white and the official flower of the
order-the marguerite-was profusely
used in the decorations. A delightful
afternoon is reported to have been
spent by the hostesses and honored
guest.
Last Friday afternoon Mrs. G. P.
Randall gave the last of a series OF
parties. This on st. patrick's day was
a most enjoyable one, as special pro.

Mrs. George Hallows extended her
hospitality last Friday afternoon to
some 80 ladies in the form of ST.

planned, much ingenuity in decorations
making the tea very pleasant one.
Mrs. l.. r. Fenlason will entertain
tonight at an elaborately appointed
party to honor her friend, Mrs. Sid
Sinsheimer, formerly of Swink but now
residing in Denver. The affair will be
held in the Ell Captain hotel.
Mrs. H. B. Sherman yesterday after
noon entertained a number of ladies
and children, in celebration of the fourth
birthday of her daughter Louise.
About tive dozen young people will
enjoy the hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs.
