Tandervyn had arranged to be gone
a week. There was no cause to dis
cus-s the time of his return, and as Ma
RE seldom mentioned him, Hardy was
not often annoyed by the vision of the
handsome young fellow interposing be-
tween himself and the girl.
From day to day it could plainly be
seen how the rides in the pure noun

companionship were bringing back

red appeared under the tan of his
cheeks. The lines of severity and re-
pressed grief began to smooth away.
On the morning of the seventh day,
when he rode over to join Marie for
q ride out to the butte on Wolf river,
ten years seemed 70 have dropped from
him. Even when he lifted his hat to
the girl and exposed the silyered hair
at his temples, he looked nearer
twenty-five than thirty. He had
shaved off his bristly mustache!

she said, smiling at his shapely clean
shaven lip.
SIN that case you must humor my
callowness by pretending you need
my aid to mount"
She put one small booted foot in his
hand, rose with the lightness OF
feather and perched herself sideways
on her mans saddle. Unused to such
strange behavior, the pony began to
buck. Hardy sprang to seize the beast
by the head. Marie waved him aside,
and proceeded to give an impromptu
exhibition of her skill as horsewom-
an. With one knee crooked around the
horn of her saddle, she kept her dlt1-
cult seat like a circus rider, until the
pony subsidized.

Hardy as the girl swung astride and

On their way down the valley they
met no one, for the families of the

suggested. that they climb the butte.

AerOplanes and the Army.

President Hawley OF the Aero Club Of Amer
lea has urged President Wilson to request an
immediate appropriation large enough to prop
ery equip four aero squadrons for the United
States army. Here Is the weakest part OF our
present military establishment While we may
have enough OF the flying machines to provide
for the necessities OF the punitive expedition
that is to overhaul villa, the army as a whole
is deficient in this important arm.
Experience in Europe has demonstrated the
imperative need and indispensable service OF
aircraft in war. II is not in the spectacular
battles above the ground. nor in the occasional
bomb-dropping raid, that the aviator serves his
country. The modern army without air scouts
is blind and helpless. and would be an easy prey
for an enemy properly equipped. In no partic-
ular has the science OF war made greater ad-
vance than in the adaptation of the aeroplane to
the uses Of the fighting forces, and no nation
has Jagged further behind in the matter of its
adoption than has the United States. In this
regard we ara repeating the. experience of the
Spanish American war, where we sent our SOL
diers, armed with the old single-shot rifle using
black powder. against an army fitted out with
high-power repeating rifles and using smoke
less explosives How costly that mistake would
have been had Spain continued the resistance
II was capable Of making profoundly shocks the
experts familiar with the situation.
The aviation service or both the army and
.ithe navy deserves frnoss attention than IL has
received so far Training OF men for the cor
rect and efficient handling of these machines

gram which would leave each succeeding
generation better than the last? Here
In the United states there are many pow
erful influences working against race
culture. as, for instance. inheritabie dis
eases. racial poisons. the great influx of
the lower classes from the lowest
branches Of the Aryan races Of Europe,
the slow. but steady tendency toward an
amsigamatlon OF the different races and
classes. the tendency Of the degenerates
TO contribute more than their share OF
the next generation. the diminishing
birth-rate among the more cultured and
the struggle for existance which tends
10 eliminate those who are least grasp
ing and aggressive.
That this subject is OF moment Is shown
by the fact that every state OF our union
has passed restrictive marriage laws and
thirteen states have PASSED laws govern
ing the sterilization Of degenerates. While
the intention OF the lawmakers is good.
yet the laws are being passed by men
who seem to know nothing OF the laws
