when he made his Saturday visits AS
he grew older, Ronald doubled his
visits. The natural sequence came
about-One day he announced that
Cola and he were engaged.
We were not sorry for it, although
father advised a delay of a year or
two. Miss Mason died one day. This
led to a peculiar situation. She had
left what little she had to Cola. It
was little, indeed, for there were a
great many debts. Miss Mason had
supported a crippled and helpless
brother in a sanitarium for years
Cola assumed the responsibility of
of continued care of her uncle. She
went about her new duties like a
genuine business woman. Ronald
objected to the strenuous strain, but
Cola was determined.
81 could not rest if did not clear
up the debts of poor, dead aunty,"
she said. 1T would be a sin to neg
lect Uncle Waldron. You must be
and l shall be-oh! so proud and
happy to become your wife, but
must fulfill my duty"
I'VE could take your uncle with us,
Cola" suggested Ronald. ..
81 could not think of burdening you
with such a charge" resisted Cola.
''No, it must be as say. Everything
will come out right if do my best,
dear"
So Ronald was content perforce
and Cola went on her steady way.
1t proved to be a difficult way, and al
most cherries at times. Business
was bad and her poor little head fair
~ ached over unfamiliar business
entanglements. She just managed
to keep clear Of new debts, but the
old ones hung about her neck like
millstones.
Then one day came the strangest
happening of all in the strange link
of peculiar incidents that surround |

arms of one another - a startling
greeting, for neither spoke.
Solemnly the new arrival placed
his finger on his lips. He tried APP
parently to convey some explanation
as to the cause of his appearance to
Dialhma. Ronald was intensely in
terested. He reasoned out that Ka-
RIA, too, had come under the ban of
silence. He realized that his mission,
making Of him an exile like DjaIhma,
must be an important one. Perhaps
it involved the interests Of Cola.
Apparently Kariza made Dialhma
Understand that he had a message or
explanation Of Importance to impart.
Ronald followed them cUrioUsly, and
they were so excited and engrOssed
in their present personal affairs that
his presence was Unheeded.
At the rear of the garden was a ce-
mented tennis court. Over near the
Toulouse were several barrels Of
sand.
One of these latter Kariza proceed
ed to wheel up to one end of the ce-
mented space. He threw off his out
Ell. surtout. He drew from some in
ner. pocket a strange-appearing de-
vice. It was a sort Of metal funnel,
with a short handle attached. He
dipped it in the sand, braced back
and began making sand pictures"
Many a time Ronald had read of
persons among the denizens of India
who had become experts in this line.
Here was one Of them, it was proved
forthwith. It was marvellous, the
accuracy, the fineness, the art with
which Kariza prosecuted his work.
Delicately, skillfully as a master
painter with his brush, Kariza out

mented space the features Of a child,

GOOD PROGRESS MADE
 ON BRIDGE WORK

Decking of the new bridge at Mile 29 has been completed and the pile driver will complete work today on the bridge at Mile 26, after which the only structures to be replaced between thet point and Snow river are the small bridges at Falls creek and Ptarmigan creek.
 Material is at hand for the 645-foot bridge over Snow river at the new point of crossing this turbulent stream which is below the present line. An extensive fill is to be put on the north approach to this bridge and it is probable that the structure will be completed before the fill, depending entirely on the progress made by the steam shovels at points between here and the river.

OVERHANGING
 ROCKS BLOWN
 INTO RIVER

The overhanging cliff between tun- nels No. 8 and 4, north of Mile 52, one of the scenic features of the old line which put a chill in the heart ot every trainman and passenger passing the spot, is no more.
 Carefully placed shots were fired yesterday which hurled the overhang- ing rocks into Placer river.
 This overhang was caused by the peculiar rock formation which made it difficult to blow away enough of the mountain to make the face of the cut perpendicular. The constructors of the old line, bent on making mileage, left it and each spring the frost and thaws brought down rocks on the right of way large enough to smash any equipment which might happen to be at that spot, but the danger has been removed.

Y. M. c. |. MEETING
centraI Daptist eastor Addressed Men
 on Tho Peril Of America.

Considering the stormy afternoon an unusually large number of men met at the r. M. C. A, service in the Swahn,s orchestra played and John H. McNee1y rendered two vocal solos Rev Joel B. SIocum. D. D.. pastop of speaker His subject was Americas Peril Among other things he said were the following:
 The Peril of America is that she shall substitute gold for men. .Il1 fare the lands to deepening ills a prey, when wealth accumulafes and men decay" This tendency is now new. But it is all the more dangerous be- cause it is old.
 America's peril is not thai she ;s rich, but that being rich she is in dan ger of making that an end rather than a means to an end- We are face to face with the peril of setting up naa- terial things as a standard for our efforts and counting our lives failures unless we can produce great posses sfons.
 Jesus said: "A mans life eonsistetb not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth." So with a ma tion. Americas life consistent not in her gold. but in her Christian man that confronts us is that we shall be- } come so engaged in our material af- fairs that we shall forget God For what shall it profit a man if he gain
 
 soul? and what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" Christian manhood and womanhood is the most priceless asset that this nation holds today. On no account let us allow that treasure to be despoiled Rather let us pray that the people within our borders who have low ideals and a meagre comprehension. of the real de- lenses of the republic may be aroused to an understanding of what consti- tutes Christian citizenship. Let me close with a warning by Arcfdeacon Farrar: 'Tf America shall keen her. self true to the principles upon which she was founded and to the awful vir- tues of the Pilgrim sires. she will con- tinue to be the enlightener of the na- tions, the beautiful pioneer in the van guard of the progress of the world But if she spread a table to fortune and epthrone Mammon above her aI- tars; if her politics become corrupt, her press debased, and her religion a mere twilight of wiIlful and seIf-in- duced delusion, then she, in her turn, shall fall. like Lueifer, son of the morning and the double oceans which wash her ilhmitable shores shall only splash to future empires a more sad, a more desolate. and a more intending dirge.'

silver; and. They that feared the Lord spoke often together.
 This was a dark period in the his- tory of the Jews. There are times in our lives when it seems hard to live A reflner purifies gold and silver be- cause they are valuable. Just because our souls are so precious in His sight, because we are immortal. God tries us, God trusted the men in the Bible whom He sorely tried. When we find ourselves in hard places with severe trials let us remember that God trusts us, He may be qualifying us for ser- vice. God wants us to Brighen the Corner Where We Are. If we are in a narrow circle we can brighten the lives we touch. instead of telling of our discomforts. All the process of testing is to prepare us for that other life. We can't carry there an evil dis position, grudge or a care.
 God has a special thought for peo- pie who are trying to live right. They shall be Mine in the day when I make - My jewels. God knows where we @e and what we are trying to do. He finds out desolate lives those who seem utterly alone. In trouble, when everything else fails. God is nearest. The names are recorded in a book of remembrance. He remembers many an act >cf kindness you have done and perhaps forgotten. That's the kind of God we are dealing with. Ought we not to trust Him in the dark hours ? It is then that ell hearkens and hears. Some day He will reveal Himself to US and Bring us out of the darkness.

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE
 MADE AT PosToFFIcE. Include New Parcel Post Room For
 the Basement.

Plans and specifications have been received at the local post office for a number of miscellaneous repairs, which will include a ne wparcel post room in the basement, provided with metal shute from the main floor, which will carry the parcels to the new room and distribute them on a large table, making 1t very convenient for the car- riers to place in the several bins ready for routing. Double doors are to be cut in the basement wall. opening on- to the driveway at the east of the building, so that the loading of the wagons can be done in the last possi- bic time, a new room is to be pro- vided for the carriers as a swing room It is to be a mezzanine floor over the rear entrance. giving the carriers a large, airy room. with plenty of light in which tt. stay between trips There is also to be d dormer window placed in the roof near the flag staff, as the old hatchway was dangerous for the janitor to go through when placing the flag on the building. These improve ments have been needed for long time, and the postmaster has succeed ed in convincing the treasury depart ment that it will not only be a say ing of time in handling mail, but that it was necessary for the health of the employees.
