known he had no relatives in this part
Of the country. About eight years ago
he became lost in a storm and was

both hands and both of his thumbs
had to be amputated. Despite this
handicap he had managed to make a
living for himself.

Tourists Put Out Blaze,

Deadwood.-The efficiency and value
Of the fire lookout station maintained
by the forest service on Custer peak
has been we'll demonstrated. Word
was received at the local office that a
smoke was detected near the Mountain
Meadow ranch. but before the forest
officers had left town a further report
was received that the smoke had died
down and that probably a party of au-
tomobilists had stopped to ~extinguish
the same. as a machine was cen to
leave the vicinity of the fire shortly
after the smoke died down. In order
to ascertain the real facts, the forest
ranger at Pactola was communicated
with and instructed to interview any
motorists that came along regarding
the fire. In the course OF about an
hour word was received which indi-
Gated that some tourists had discoy-
cred the fire raging in the timber
it out. The promptness and interest
displayed by these tourists was Ct far
reaching effect. for by their act a pos
bile serious fire was averted. and
also showed the cooperative spirit that
is being shown by people in general
in protecting the forests against fires
and destruction. From the standpoint
of the forest service the value of the
lookout and the complete telephone
system was most satisfactorily demon
strated by this incident.

ones.
"I1l have those roses, If you please
| said Betty. And, IN have those roses,
If you please" said another voice at
the same time. The other voice be
longed to a man. He was n young
man, and when Betty looked up and
| he looked down, both smiled. Despite
the dampness of his clothes the boy
smiled too.
"Well,' he said, which of you IS

So they climbed the stairs together,
Won't Sallie be surprised TO see Us

was surprised.
Il didn't know that you two knew
each other" she said.
"We don't-We didn't" said Betty.
Then they told the story Of the roses.
SalIie liked the roses, but, being a
sympathetic soul, she liked the story
better. II am so glad. She said. You
must both ON again On Wednesday
at this same time"
They Went away together. Their
talk was mostly Of Sallie. Each said
how wonderful il was that the other
knew Sallie. At the corner they sep
arated.
