Is good day to quit. 1 propose we
go back to camp peaceable, make a
decent place to stay, cook ourselves up
a squar' meal, wash out our clothes,
visit the next camp, take look at
town and enjoy ourselves"
Thus vanished the first and most
wonderful romance of the gold. Re-
duced to wages it was somehow no
longer so marvellous. The element of
uncertainty was always there, to be
sure, and an inexpllcable fascination,
but no longer had We any desire to
dig up the whole place Immediately.
l suppose we moved nearly as much
earth, but the fbers of our minds were
relaxed, and we did it more easily and
with less nervous wear and tear.
Also, as Yank suggested, we took
pains to search out our fellow beings.
The camper below US proved to be Don
Gaspar, velvet breeches and all. He
received us Hospitality and proffered
perfumed cigarettes, which we did not
like, but which we smoked out of po-
likeness. Our common ground of meet
ing was at first the natural one of the
gold diggings. Don Gaspar and his
man, whom he called Vasquez, had
produced somewhat less fake gold
than ourselves, but exhibited a half
ounce nugget and several smaller
Jumps. We could not make him out.
Neither his appearance nor his per-
sonal equipment suggested necessity,
and yet he labored as hard as the rest
Of us. His gaudy costume was splash
ed and grimy with the red mud, al
though evidently he had made some
attempt to brush it. The linen was,
Of course, hopeless. He showed us

looking hands.
at is the hard work." he stated
simply, "but one gets the gold"
From that subject we passed on to
horses. He confessed that he was I'M
easy as to the safety of his own mag
nificent animals and succeeded in
alarming us as to our own.
"Thos' Indian" he told us, 'are al
ways out to essteal, and the paisanos.
1t has been tole me that Andreas Ami

we lose our horse!'
Our anxiety at this time was given
an edge by the fact that the horses.
having fed well and becoming tired of
the same place, were inclined to stray.
1t was impossible to keep them always
on picket lines-the nature of the
meadow would not permit it-and they
soon learned to be very clever with
their hobbies. Several mornings we
put in an hour or so hunting them up
and bringing them in before we could
start work for the day. This wasted
both time and temper. The result was
that we drifted into partnership with
Don Gaspar and Nasquez. l do not re-
member who proposed the arrange

it just came about naturally from our
many discussions of the subject. I'm

FIVE equal parts.

Daddy is = don't you think so?"
Yes, dear; very nice" L agreed.
you're nice, too" she remarked.
I had already noticed that one pc
culiarity of this small child was a
habit of saying in a direct way just
what she thought. "I am glad you're
here" she whispered as L bent and
kissed her.
80 am l." I told her. ,
I turned off the heat, switched the
light out, opened one of her windows
a few inches and went back into my
own room. My trunk had come that
afternoon and 1 set about unpacking
it. The strong necessity of doing
something was upon me, yet l want
ed to think. 1 wished L could put on
my hat and coat and go for long
walk. My time was no longer my own,
and I could not do this.
But when had emptied my trunk
and pulled it noiselessly out into the
hall to be taken up into the trunk
room in the morning, L sank into a
chair and reviewed the events of the
day, especially what Mr.. Norton had
said. What had 1 learned from his
speech ana manner!
A Kind Employer
First that he was a devoted faith
er and kind employer; second, that
he was anxious about his child for
some reason that l did not under
stand; third, that he was jealous -
or resentful of any suggestion on
the part of Mrs. Gore that she un-
derstood the child better than he did.
Musing on this, decided that l had
-. IL ltVAnr leo ~ al
that l would best not quote Mrs. Gore
to her brother-in-law.
A tap came at my door. AS I
called Come in" Maggie appeared.
Mrs Gore would like to see you,
Miss Dart" she announced. Can
you come down to her, please?"
Certainly" 1 replied.
Mrs. Gore looked up as I entered
her room.
IT will detain you for only a mo-
ment," she said, for 1 am tired and
must go to bed. But 1 have had a
talk with Mr.. Norton, and 1 want
to suggest that if there is anything
in which you do not understand
Grace's character you appeal to him.
OF course l understand the child much
better than be does - but he would
not want to 'Deiieve this. Fathers are
like that, you know.
80, while you must talk to me
freely about everything connected
with Grace, and / will be glad to
advise you. yet it might be a good
thing if, occasionally, you seemed also
to ask her fathers advice with re-
gard to her training. You understand,
don't you?"
YES" 1 replied. "I understand

AS 1 went back upstairs 1 knew
had learned another thing. This
was that it would be wise not to re-
peat to Mrs. Gore anything that her
brother-in-law said to me.

to make no false step in this out

complex, household.

down the second flight to the dining
room. After which 1 rose, shut the

They were small fiiers, for the most

TAKING STEPS TO STOP
FURTHER VIOLATION OF
CENSORSHIP RULES

WASHINGTON. oct. 15.-Aroused by
49, ..aj,atEcn in some parts of the u
i.> OF private cahleGrams announcing
arrival Of American troops in france,
80 War and Navy departments today
took steps 10 prevent a repetition OF
,,o incidents which may result in the
coilr, martial Of the officers who sent
the messages.
In one case a former National Guard
officer wired his governor of the ar
rival Of the states troops. but so far
as is known here, newspapers in that
locality observed the governments VOL
untary censorship request and did not
print the cable.
In the other case. however. a former
National Guard officer telegraphed the
governor Of his state Of the arrival of
his regiment with a request that II
be given fullest publicity. The gov
errors Office gave out the cahlegram
and many papers in that state printed
the news. This morning other news
papers published the despatch and
added the number and destination Of
the regiment. all in violation Of the
voluntary censorship.
The war department has most ur-
gently requested that nothing what
ever he printed about arrivals Of troops
abroad. promising at the same time to
report promptly any casualty. Friends
who know troops have sailed and hear
nothing further may assume they have
arrived safely.
