Is Thrift Unpopular?

We may as well admit that as q
result of years of prosperity, empha-
sized by the enormous increase OF our
wealth since the war in Europe began
thrift has grown less and less pop
ular with us, until the sound advice
of those who know has practically no
impression upon us. N
This is, of course, very serious
situation and if we are successfully TO
solve the grave problem of the, fu-
ture we must in a, very pronounced
measure get back to the real mental
attitude of our forefathers and not
only talk Thrift but act thrift.
It is all very well for us. to. congrat-
ulate ourselves on our overwhelming
prosperity, but there never was q
time in the history of the world when
figures were so deceptive as at pres
ent, and we must not allow ourselves
to be led away by them. We have,
of course. increased our total wealth
enormously, but there is. a difference
between having and keeping,
Are we going to keep this wealth
and use it to our best advantage as
the years pass? The war in Europe
is not going to last forever and Just
as soon as it Is over we will have
to face the severest kind of Compe'
tition from nations in which thrift
will not only be virtue. but will be
an absolute necessity. For their own
self-preservation they have to become
efficient to the last degree;'.their nat
ural trend towards economy will b.
increased hundredfold; they will
demand money from us in great guam
titles; interest rates will increase and
we will face problems such as we
have never confronted before.
Will all be we'll with us? To this
question there are two answers:
Yes; if we keep, our house in order,
avoid unnecessary extravaganza, save
a good portion of our earnings and de.
post this money at interest in the
bank. No., if we refuse, to be eco
nomical, if We shrug our shoulders
at the idea of thrift if we think that
the enormous prosperity of today will
last forever, and if we fail, to heed
the very clear and logical reasoning
Of those who study. and understand
conditions.
1t is for us to choose which of these
two answers will be the one given by
America to the world when the con.
ditions of years to come have to be
faced
Now is the time for us to set and
keep our house in order; now is the
time for us to realize that no amount
is too insignificant to be saved and
that we do not need what we think
we need. Let us learn to spend wise
ly and, above everything to save reg
ularly. - 49, sr 2rET% 'a2E

THE LESSON.

Whatever else may be said of the
experiment Of "mobilizing" the ma.
tional guard on the Mexican border,
1t has been we'll worth the cost for
this reason:
It has definitely proved that only
the hopelessly and criminally dense
can wish to continue this sort of
military system"
The, spectacle has been shameful
and humiliating. The only wonder is
that the statesmen of some unfriend
ly country do not decide that now is
the hour to strike, before the United
States awakens from its state OF hi
bernation.
The national guard system has con
victed itself so clearly that were II
not for the sudden, soothing peace
interim into which we have again
fallen, it would be blown from the
face Of the earth by the whirlwind
rush of practical events.
The men in the national guard are
as good material for soldiers and de-
tenders Of their country as any on
earth. A sickly institution is destroy
ing their patriotism and playing the
traitor to America.

CHAPTER |.

So it was in him, then-an inherited fighting instinct, a driving intensity to kill. He was the last of the Duanes, that old fighting stock of Texas. But not the memory of his dead father, nor the pleading of his soft-voiced mother, nor the warning of this uncle who stood before him now, had brought to Buckley Duane so much realization of the dark, passionate strain in his blood It was the recurrence, a hun dredfold increased in power, of q strange emotion that for the last three years had arisen in him.
 "Yes, Cal Bains in town, full of bad whisky an huntin' for you," re- peated the elder man, gravely.
 "But what's he want me for?" de- manded Duane. ITO insult me again? ? l won't stand that twice."
 He's got a fever that's rampant in Texas these days, my boy. He wants gun-play. If he meets you he'll try to kill you"
 Here it stirred in Duane again, that bursting gush of blood. like wind of flame shaking all his inner being, and subsiding to leave him strangely chilled.
 Kill me! What for?" he asked.
 Lord knows there ain't any reason. But what's that to do with most of the shootin' these days? Didn't five cow boys over to Everalrs kill one another dead all because they got to jerkin' at quirt among themselves? An Cal has no reason to love you. His girl was sweet on you"
 T quit when I found out she was his girl"
 Il reckon she ain't quit. But never mind her or reasons. Gals here, just drunk enough to be ugly. He's achin' to kill somebody. He's one of them four-fush gun-fghters. There's a lot of wild cowboys who're ambitious for reputation. They laugh at the sher- ifs an brag about how they'd fix the rangers. Gals sure not much for you to bother with, if you only keep out of his way"
 You mean for me to run?" asked Duane, in scorn.
 T reckon I wouldn't put it that way.

 'Tm out of grub and pretty hungry myself" admitted Duane.

 He made wide sweep of his right arm, indicating the southwest, and there was that In his action which seemed significant of vast and bar ren region.
 Stock up?" queried Duane, thought fully.
 "Shore. X feller has jest got to eat. I can rustic along without whisky, but not without grub. Thet's what makes it so embarrassin' travelin' these parts dodgin' your shadow. Now, I'm on my way to Mercer. It's little two-bit town up the river ways. I'm goin' to pack out some grub
 Stevens tone was inviting. Evident ly he would welcome Duane's compan- ionship. but he did not openly say so. Duane kept silence, however and then Stevens went on.
 Stranger, in this here country two's crowd. It's safer. l never was much on this lone-wolf dodgin', though I've done it of necessity. It takes mighty good man to travel alone any length of tiree. Why, I've been thet sick was jest achin' fer some ranger to come along an plug me. Give me pardner any day. Now, mebbe you're not thet kind of feller, an I'm shore not presumin to ask But l jest de- clares myself sufficient"
 "You mean you'd like me to go with you?" asked Duane.
 Stevens grinned. Wal. I should smile. I'd be particular proud to be braced with man of your reputa- tion."
 "See here. my good fellow, that's all nonSense' declared Duane, in some haste.

Thet's the word thet's gone down the border. Now, Buck. I'm not spring chicken, an I've been long on the dodge. Mebbe little of my society won't hurt you none. You'll need to learn the country"
 There was something sincere and likable about this outlaw.
 "I dare say you're right" replied Duane. quietly. And I'll go to Mer- cer with you"
 Next moment he was riding down the road with Stevens. Duane had

Just avoid him. Buck, I'm not afraid Cal would get you. What I'm most afraid of is that you'll kill Bain."
 Duane was silent, letting his uncle's earnest words sink in, trying to realize their significance.
 Buck" went on the uncle, you're twenty-three now, an powerful sight of fine fellow, barrin' your temper. You've chance in life. But if you go gun-fightin', if you kill a man, you're ruined. The rangers would make you an outlaw. This even-break business doesn't work with them. If you resist arrest they'll kill you. If you submit to arrest, then you go to jail. an mebbe you hang"
 "rd never hang." muttered Duane, darkly.
 T reckon you wouldn't" replied the old man. You'd be like yoHr father. He was ever ready to draw-too ready. Tn times like these, with the Texas rangers enforcin' the law, your dad would have been driven to the river. He wes killed in a street-fght. An 1t

 "Son, you killed him-then" asked the uncle, huskily. s "Yes. l stood over him-watched Bhim die. I did as l would have been done by"
 q knew it. Long ago saw it com in. But now we can't stop to cry over split blood. You've got to leave town an this part of the country"
 "Mother!' exclaimed Duane.
 "She's away from home. You can wait. I'll break it to her-what she always feared"
 Suddenly Duane sat down and GOV cred his face with his hands.
 My God Uncle, what have I doneT' His broad shoulders shook.
 Listen, son, an remember what say" replied the elder man, earnestly. Don't ever forget. You're not to

blame. I'm glad to see you take it this way, because maybe you'll never grow hard an callous. You're not to blame. This is Texas. You're your fathers s son. These are wild times. The law as the rangers are laying it down now can't change life all in minute"
 I'm murderer" said Duane, shud- dering.
 "No, son, you're not. An you never will be. But you've got to be an out law till time makes 1t safe for you to come home"
 "An outlaw?"
 'I said it. If we had money an in- fluence, we'd risk trial. But we've neither. Strike for the wild country, an wherever you go an whatever you do-be a man. You can't come home. When this thing is lived down, if that time ever comes, I'll get word into the unsettled country. It'll reach you some day. That's all. Remember, be a man. Good-by."
 Duane, with blurred sight and con- tracing throat, gripped his uncle's hand and bade him wordless fare well. Then he leaped astride the black and rode out of town.
 AS swiftly as was consistent with a care for his steed, Duane put dis tance of fifteen or eighteen miles behind him. He passed several ranches, and was seen by men. This did not suit him, and he took an old trail across country. It was flat region with n poor growth of mesquite and prickly-pear cactus. Occasionally he caught u glimpse of low hills in the distance. He had hunted often in that section, and knew where to find grass and water When he reached this higher ground he did not however, halt at the first favorable camping spot, but went on and on.
 At last he found a secluded spot, un- der cover of thick mesquites and oaks, at goodly distance from the old trail He took saddle and pack off the horse, | made a small fire, prepared and ate his supper.

When Duane came to the gate of his home and saw his uncle there with a mettlesome horse, saddled with can teen, rope and bags all in place, q subtle shock peryaded his spirit. It had slipped his mind-the consequence of his act. But sight of the horse ana the look of his uncle recalled the fact that he must now become a fugitive. An unreasonable anger took hold of him.
