the mountains, Spanish grant. Nor
gan's gap opens south of Music noun
tain, less than ten miles west of Gala
basas. 1t is a narrow valley where
valleys are more precious than water
for the mountain valley means wa
ter-and this in a country where water
is much more precious than life. And
some of the best of this land at the
foot of Music mountain was the ma
ternal inheritance of Nan Morgan.
At Calabasas the Thief River stage
line maintains completely equipped
relay barns. They are over twenty
miles from Sleepy Cat, but nearly fifty
the other way from Thief river. And
except a few shacks, there is nothing
between Calabasas, Thief river and
the mountains except sunshine and
alkali. 1 say nothing, meaning especial
ly nothing in the way of human habi-
tation.
The Calabasas inn stood in one of
the loneliest canyons of the whole sew
enty miles between Sleepy Cat and
Thief river; 1t looked in its depletion
to be what 1t was, somber, mysteri-
Gus, sun, wind and alkali-beaten pile,
around which was q ruin like those
pretentious deserted structures some
times seen in frontier towns-relics of
the wide-open days, which stand after
ward, stark and somber, to serve as
bats nests or blind pigs. The inn at
Calabasas looked its part-a haunt of
rustlers, a haven of nameless men, a
refuge of road-agents.
The very first time De Spain made
an inspection trip over the stage line
with Lefever, he was conscious Of the
sinister air of this lonely building. He
and Lefever had ridden down from the
barn, while their horses were being
changed, to look at the place. De
Spain wanted to look over everything
connected in any way, however remote
ly, with the operation of his wagons,
and this joint, Lefever had told him,
was where the freighters and drivers
were not infrequently robbed of their
money. 1t was here that one of their
own men, Bill McCarty, once
scratched a mans neck" with
knife-which, Bill explained, he just
happened" to have in his hand-for
cheating at cards. Lefever pointed out
the unluclly gamblers grave as he and
De Spain rode into the canyon toward
the inn.
Not sign of any sort was displayed
about the habitation. No man was in
vited to enter, no man warned to keep
out, none was anywhere in sight. The
stage men dismounted, threw their
lines, pushed open the front door of
the house and entered q room of per-
haps sixteen by twenty feet. A long,
high bar stretched across the farther
side of the room. The left end, as they
faced the bar was brought around to
escape a small window opening on q
court or patio to the rear of the room.
Back Of the bar itself, about midway,
a low door in the bare wall gave en-
trance to q rear room. Aside from
this the room presented nothing but
= lis. Two windows finnking the front
door helped to light 1t, but not a mir
1r, picture, chair, table, bottle or
ss was to be seen. De Spain COW
erei every feature of the interior at q
siance. "Quiet around here, john" he
rarked casually.
This is the quletest place in the
KY mountains most of the time. But
when it is noisy. believe me, 1t is
noisy. Look at the bullet holes in the
vsis."

Miss Fairfax Answers Queries
BY Beatrice Fairfax
ENJOY YOUR FRIENDSHIP

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Has a man a right to enjoy the
friendship of a girl and monopolize
her time without ever thinking of
marrying her?
l am twenty-five and have parents
dependent on me. l have two girl
friends whom l have known for years
and we have the highest regard for
each other. Now, | want your advice
whether it is right for me to continue
my friendship for them? H. l..
1t would be very unfortunate if a
man as sensible and high principled
as you seem to be could not have girl
friends. If ever real suitors come
into the lives of these girls it will be
easy enough for boy as sensible as
you to eliminate himself if need be
or at least to make his position quite
clear. Since there are two girls and
you are interested in both, l do not
believe any one can connect your
name with either. Be sure you are
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-04-02

man enough not to attempt to make
love to either girl and to keep your
relationship strictly on basis of
friendship. If yo,. do this and re-
member that some one may come
along and want to marry them at
any time, and do not permit your
self to feel abused when it happens
there is no reason why you should
not go on with your friendship and
get much from it besides bringing a
great deal to it.

though | know that this gentleman is
trustworthy, yet l am in doubt as to
whether | need chaperon.

The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1917-04-27
REPRESENTATIVE GREENE'S
SPEECH In CONGRESS-.

If there was any disposition on the
part of some of his colleagues to heckle
] Representative Frank L. Greene of Yer
mont while he was speaking in the House
last Monday in defense of universal war
| service, those who had such disposition
found in Representative Greene a man of
good humor and ready repartee. Accord
ing to the report in the Congressional
Record Representative Greene was inter-
rupted no less than eight times during
the 80 minutes allotted to him to present
his views on the subject. As everyone
knows who has tried to deliver an ad-
dress, to be interrupted, even though in
the kindliest manner, is a source of an
noyance and, if repeated again and again,
becomes decidedly exasperating. But
down through the list of interrupters
from Gordon of Ohio, through Dent OF
Alabama, Hull of Iowa, Mondell of wy
oming, Sloan of Nebraska, Hardy of Tex
as, Fairchild of New York and Dyer of
"
Missouri to Kahn of California, who had
charge of the minority report of the
military committee Representative
Greene maintained an attitude of cour-
tesy although the element of firmness
had finally to be joined with the cour-
tesy. And in spite of those Interrupt
tions Representative Greene presented a
lucid statement of opinion why the
United States cannot depend upon the
volunteer system to build up vast army
with which to cope with the peril now
at hand. Representative Greene's fellow
Vermonters are glad that he was able to
maintain both the floor and his feet at |
the same time" and, more than that,
they are pleased that he was willing to
champion the minority report of the
of which he is member, to
insist that the nation absolutely needs
service. based on the scheme of
elective draft. Therein he represented,
We believe, the sentiment Of his state and
he growing sentiment of the whole ma
ion. II

tainly would have been held in France
for that purpose. But France saw fit to
send him abroad on \ mission of indefi.
mite length, running also the risk Of los
ing him Just as Great Britain lost Lord
Kitchener, The inference is that the
war has been completely taken over by
some other heads. However, that is no
reflection on the grim, grizzled veteran
who is now being accorded so much ac-
claim in Washington. He did his part
in saving France, and he did it well.
The second stage of the war is entrusted
to tacticians of other plans. Joffre has
earned the respite from active campaign
ing which is his due,

Representative Mason of Illinois, Re

Representative Mason of Illinois, Re
publican, did not show good sense in
openly accusing President Wilson of fear
to send Theodore Roosevelt into France
with an army because of the political
prestige that would accrue to Roosevelt
in the event of successful campaigning.
There can be no politics in the nations
war against Germany; else the nations
efforts are doomed to failure. We should
forget for the timebeing that we are Re
pubicans, or Democrats, or any other
kind of partisans, remembering only that
we are citizens OF the best country in
the world and anxious to uphold the hon
or of that country. We cannot do it by
mixing up political innuendoes as Repre-
sentative Mason tried to do and for
which he was promptly shown disapprov-
al
