one of the commissioners brusquely
proposed that Hardy be summoned to
attend upon them. Vandervyn inter-
posed with the suave suggestion that
the acting agent might leave in the
safe some of the papers necessary to
a full understanding of the affairs of
the agency.
At this the party fingered only fo-'
a parting nip at Dupont's liquid hos
pitality. Assuring Marie that they
would return in time for dinner, they
left under the escort of their host.
With the excuse that he had mislaid
his hat, Vandervyn returned to the
dining room. When he came out, he
shut the door. Marie was alone in the
parlor. All the suppressed fire of his
passion famed in his face, as he
turned and came swiftly back to the
waiting girl. There could be no doubt
that he expected her to meet him half
way.

wish to tell you how you made me
realize again that life is worth living.
When came from the Coast, I had
lost one dearer to me than anyone else
in all the world-my mother. She
was little woman, very frail-her
blue eyes were dim and faded, her
hair white; but even when she-was
at the very end-her dear eyes sought
to ease my grief with the same look
you gave me as you bent over me
here and thought me fatally injured"
''Pleasel" begged the girl, choking
back a sob. Il do not deserve
Your mother but am not kind nor
good -
Hardy went on in the same voice
of profound passion: you lifted me
out of the shadow of the Valley. You
came to me in my blank darkness, q
glorious light of divine goodness that
compelled me to see that all was not
wrong with the universe-that even
so great loss as mine might be for
the best"
II am not what you think mel
am not :" she reiterated.
"You restored my faith and hope"
he insisted. "It would be selfish of
me to ask anything more of you
now"
1T would be useless-useless! 70 she
cried.
He was too little versed in feminine
nature to realize that her vehemence
might indicate an effort 10 suppress
an inner doubt of the assertion. Had
he been few years younger, youth
full impetuosity might have won him
that which his reverent respect shrank
from urging. He had taken her
gloved hand. He pressed it to his lips,
and freed her.

said. "Yet 1 cannot take that as final.
I shall wait until he returns. Then 1
shall take my fighting chance"
''You will?" she whispered.

him as if startled. You say, when

without needing the look in her face
until within arm's-reach of her. Then
at last he perceived her lack of re-
Spouse, and stopped.
ST say!'' he exclaimed. "What's the
matter? Is this the way to welcome
me back, sweetheart"
The term of endearment brought a
quick blush into the girls cheeks. But
she replied in cold, even tones: "Are

"How can help it?" he urged, seek

You are the only woman-the only
one in all the world to me. There is
not another half as beautiful, tenth

She quivered in response to the deep,
golden notes of his voice, yet held her
self firm with all the strength of her

But the girl drew back from his
pleading arms.
NO." she said. eff I must wait, so
must you. If you mean what you say,
you should be satisfied that I still feel

'You mean-what?" he stammered.
She clenched her hands convulsively.

your feeling toward him for love.

She blushed and trembled. But she
had spent all the days of his absence
in that intimate comradeship with
Hardy. At the moment when Wander

with resolution.

Pleasant Little Surprises.


Too furious to heed what he was
about. Vandervyn struck off up rug
ged gulley behind the Dupont house.
An hour passed before he came back
down the mountain-side. He was
changing his clothes when Dupont
brought him an impatient summons
from the office: Hurry up, Mr.. Van.
They want you. Where you been all
this time?
"Went for a stroll" drawled Wander
vyn. "They can wait" His voice be-
came harsh and incisive. II want to
speak to you about something. You've
been letting Marie get in thick with
him."
"Who? You mean Cap?" spared
Dupont. "You didn't say you wanted
me to keep 'em from running togeth-

"You should have seen the danger.
take it, she has been alone with him
most of the time"
"Well, what of it?" muttered Du-
pont.
what of it?" echoed Vandervyn-
'Don't you know enough about army
officers to realize that he would never
marry-a quarterbreedT
Dupont's crafty eyes narrowed. I'm
not so alfred sure of that. There's
lots of 'em has married even half
breeds. I've seen 'em."
Years ago, when the frontier was
months away from civilization"
"Mebbe, and mebbe them breed girls

Marie. She's a lady,"
Vandervyn's lip curled. eff you must
have the gait, Jake-how about your
self? Do you think an officer son-in-
law would care to have you visiting
him at an army post?"
Dupont scowled. "Well, there amt
been no harm done, and you're back
now"
'Quite true. But his attentions have
put Marie on her high horse. / wish
you to take a stand against him and
back me up with her."
'You sure can count me in on that.
Mr.. Van," eagerly assented Dupont.
"All right. I've got him fixed. But
I wanted to make sure of your backing.
If he comes to dinner toAight I'll have
a gay little surprise or two up my
sleeve for him."

and nurmured in Dupont's ear.
The trader shook his head. "Um-mi

brisbly to the door. "COme, l guess
the bunch has had time enough to cool
their heels.''
Still frowning obviously, Dupont fol-
lowed him over to the Office, where
Hardy ahd the commissioners sat wait
ing for them, stiff and constrained.

"Just an Enthusiast. !"

One often hears the expression,
when referring to another who
has Just waxed eloquent on some
subject near to his heart: "Oh,
he Is Just an enthusiast; you must
not take him to seriously"
Yes, just an enthusiast, but
what a wonderful thing is en-
thusiasm! Dead men have II
not. It is the exclusive posses.
of LIVE men-of men of power,
of dynamic force.
It Is hard to imagine what this
life would be without enthusiasm
Perhaps the warden Of Sing Sing
prison would have clearer per.
ception than most people OF q
world devoid OF enthusiasm.
The quality we call enthusiasm
has done much for the world.
Columbus had it, and he dis
covered a continent. Fulton had
it, and we have the steam engine.
The Wright Brothers had it, and
as q result the currents of the
upper ether are almost as well
known rs those of the deep.
Marco oni had it, and the wireless
has eliminated the element Of
distance on this earth. And
what shall we say of Edison, the
greatest enthusiast of them all?
What would be our condition
today even without his invent
tons?
You call it genius. But who
ever knew a genius who was not
an enthusiast on his hobby?
What is a genius, anyway, with
out enthusiasm? A mere vision
ary!
Be an enthusiast in your daily
business, in municipal, state and
national affairs. Be an enthusiast
in everything you undertake, in
everything you advocate. And
above all, be an enthdsiast in up.
holding the government in its
prosecution of this war, and in
the end we will reap the reward
of the successful enthusiast.

can be acquired by any normal
person. 1t does not take the

Homes on Easy Payments

A. V. Smith, Charles Goodeagle
and ]. T. McAndrews have
bought the Simmons addition
and a part of Solomon's addition
to the city Of Baxter Springs.
The property lies in the south:
east part OF the city. 1t is all
well drained and well suited to
residential purposes.
The plan Of the purchasers is
to put the lots on the market at
reasonable prices and provide
money to buyers for building
homes, giving them'the chance to
pay on the installment plan. 1t
Is q good start in the right direc-
ton. The greatest need in Bax-
ter now is homes for the people
who want to come here, also the
chance for the man with but a
few hundred dollars to buy a
home and pay out of his earnings.
In these additions the streets
will be graded and cement side
walks will be laid and the proper
ty will be piped for gas and
water and wired for electricity.
One of the conditions of pur-
chase will be that no house shall
cost less than $1,500; with no
objection to building higher
priced houses.
It is said that a year or so ago
James Simmons bought his ad-
dition to the city of Baxter
Springs for $3.50 and during that
time he has sold property to the
value of $4,000, aside from still
owning two houses and four or
five lots.
