with an exclamation. To some Of the

ply another desert rat obsessed with
/ the idea that gold was to be found In
those northern hills. He bought sup
plies and paid grudgingly. No one
knew his name
than he appeared to be. The desert
sun had dried his sinews and warped
his shoulders. The desert wind had
scrawled thin lines of age upon his
: face. The desert solitude had stopped
him with it's awesome burden of
| brooding silence.
Slowly his mind had been squeezed
dry of all human interest save the re-
current memory of a childs face-that.
and the poignant memory of the child's
mother. For ten years he had been
trying to forget. The last five years
on the desert had dimmed the woman's
visiOned face as the child came more
often between him and the memory
Of the mother in his dreams.
Then there were voices. the voices of
strange spirits that winged through
the dusk Of the outlands and hovered
round his fire at night.
One voice. soft. insistent. ravished
his imagination with visions of illmit.

The Independent supported Rose
Rogers in the recent election, In the

look in the face. that $500 is eorn-fed
In times past history has occasional
ly noted a public official with the
economy germ in his system that
never took off its Sunday clothes. and
forsooth was fain TO start the good
work by renovating his own stable.
But one bright morning after the
sting of approximate defeat had been
balmed with a lotion of lucre In the
form of another legal but unearned
pay-check. the tears from the excess
Of grief dried away and the Golden
Harp on the desk our angelic Recorder
was quietly about his work with
folded arms when the editor OF the
Free Press floated in. goggles and all
The magic word was whispered in the
eager ear. The eye that set in the
face on which the ear was hung looked
upon the Golden Harp and the knot
that The Independent had put In the
Gee string. Knowing that the same
old tunes would never lit TO the breeze
again. and that two years hence the
political remains of Greenhouse will go
TO the dead-house, our wonderfully pub
lie spirited recorder was reused from
his wonted lethargy.
With his co-conspirator, the dis
sruntled editor of the Free Press, he
would now make use OF one weapon Of
revenge and chastise the Independent
for his day of past agony and ap-
oblivion. even though it
would require private use of a public
office. He needed revenge, he Just
had to have It. And the editor of the
Free Press. who seems to suffer per-
petual hate. in Il generic sense. has the
faculty Of getting his mother-hubbard
hooked on picket of his neighbours

hat he is not invited to attend.

sufficiently enlightening to the well
Informed reader.

What the Duke Said.

The duke of Wellington, Of course.
never said up, guards, and at 'em!"
at Waterloo, but is it generally known
how near he came to saying it? Sir
Herbert Maxwell, in his biography Of
the duke, points out what is the prob
able origin Of the pleasing legend. Late
on the afternoon of that memorable
June 18 the First and Second Battal-
ions of the Third Chasseurs were
foremost in the attack on Mont Saint
Jean. They had reached crossroad,
unaware that the British troops were
lying behind the wayside banks, ac-
cording to orders, to remain prone
when under fire, but not actually en-
gagged. Then, at the proper moment,
Wellington's voice was heard, clear
above the Storm Stand up, guards!"
It was Maitland's brigade of Guards
that thus "stood up," and, with a vic
torious rush, swept the chGsseurs out
Of the combat.-Mancheste Guardian.
