There are no more beautiful valleys

Of the great snow-covered Rocky noun

untold centuries have flung out in front
of the granite ramparts of succession
Of lower elevations like the bastions of

by gradual slopes into the distant

Of the mountains.

period later, yet ineffably old. These
cliffs, buttes, hills and mesas have

The narrow canons in which the
snow-bed streams take their rise grad
ually widen as the water follows its
tortuous course down the mountains
through the subsiding ranges and out
among the foothills to the sandy, arid,
windy plains beyond. At the entrance
Of one Of the loveliest of these broad
and verdant valleys, a short distance
above its confluence with a narrower,
more rugged ravine through the hills,
lay the thriving little town of Coro-
nado.
Some twenty miles back from the
town ut place where the valley was
narrowed to a quarter of q mile, and
separating it from the puralleling ra-
vine. rose huge sandstone rock called
Spanish Mesa. Its top. some hundreds
of feet higher than the tree-clad base

from, out of touch with, the life he had

his future. to try to devise means for

And there was another reason that
held him to his native land. He would

desire to put seas between them.
He swore to himself that the FREQ

The Valley Of Decision.

Inc valley OF DeCt81on.
Much water had run under the
bridges Of the world and incidentally
over the wreck Of the International,
since that bitter farewell between
Bertram Meade and Helen nlingworth
over the grave Of the old engineer. Life
had seemed to hold absolutely moth
ing for Meade as he knelt by that low
mound and watched the woman walk
slowly away with many a backward
glance, with many q pause, obviously
reluctant. He realized that the lifting
Of hand would have called her back.
How hard 1t was for him to remain
quiet; and, finally. before she disap-
peared and before she took her last
look at him, to turn his back resolutely

the inquests, his testimony and EVIL
dence freely given. and that parting,
something like despair had filed the
young engineers heart. Life held moth
ing. he debated with himself whether
1t would not be better to end 1t than
to live 1t. He envied his father his
broken heart. Singularly enough. the
thing that made life at least value
was the thing that kept him from
throwing 1t away-the woman.
Striving to analyze the complex
emotions that centered about his losses
he was forced to admit, although 1t
seemed a sign Of weakness, that love
Of woman was greater than love Of
fame, that in the balance one girl out
weighed bridge and father. That the
romance was ended was what made
life insupportable. Yet the faint, vague
possibility that It might be resumed II

worthiness was what made him cling

night. You can have the job, which

tails" said the man quickly and gladly.
"It's the work I want"
"Well. you'll get what the rest do"
said Vandeventer. "Now. as you just
ly remarked, have found that it is
not polite out here to inquire too close
ly into mans antecedents and have
learned to respect local customs, but
we must have some name by which to
identify you. make out your pay check,

"Do you pay in checks7'
mo, but you have to sign check"
"Well, call me Smith,"
Vandeventer threw back his head
and laughed. The other man turned q
little red. The chief engineer observed
the CLINT in his new friends eye.
"Pm not exactly laughing at you," he
explained, 'but at the singular lack of
inventiveness Of the American. We
have at least thirty Smiths out Of two
hundred men on our pay roll, and 1t il

chiefs laughter was infectious-"Tm

"We have numbers Of all Of those,
too"
"Really," said the man hesitatingly,
Il haven't given the subject any

"what about some of your family
names?"
'"That gives me an idea," said the
newcomer, who decided to use his
mothers name, "you can call me Rob-
erts."
"And suppose John for the prefx?"
"John will do as well as any, am

"How did you arrange it?" asked the
other with daring freedom, for q rod
man does not enter conversation on

gineer.
Il got little pocket dictionary down
at the town with a list of names and I
went through that list with the Smiths,
dealing them out in order. Well, that
will do for your name," he said, max
ing memorandum in the little book
he pulled out of his flannel shirt pocket.
He turned to man who had come up
to the level. "Smith," he said-"by the
way this is Mr.. Claude Smith, Mr.. Rob-
erts-here's your new rodman. You
know your job, Roberts. Get to work" !"
And that Is how Bertram Meade, a
few months after the failure Of the
great bridge, once again entered the
ranks Of engineers, beginning, as was
necessary and inevitable, very low
down in the scale.

THE sINN EEIN RIOTS.

From the riots which are taking place in the city of Cork and the un certainty which is manifested in other sections of Ireland because of the same influence, it can hardly be claim d that the Sim F'einers are do- ing anything to contribute to the suc- cess of the coming convention ar ranged for the purpose of endeavoring to adjust the Irish problem of hcma rule
 When the convention was first sug- gested, the cry was sent up by this faction of the Irish people, which, from the demonstrations which had been made and the results which have taken place in certain elections, has been growing in strength, that they could not participate in any effort to get to- gether on settlement of the Irish question as long as their fellowmen were locked up in prison. This posi- ton made it's appeal to the British government with the result that those rioters who had been locked up in English prisons under varying sen tences were not only released but they were granted fulf psrdons. This step was unquestionahly taken for the pur- pose of eliminating this grievance 60 far as possible, but from all indica- tions. instead of that act being inter
  leaders it was looked upon as an nd- mission upon the part of the British government that it had dcne wrong ir placing them in jaii and to . ce.tGin extent that the Sim Fein cause was proper. Such a view is forced b. the su bsequent disposition which h2s tecn manifested to disregard law and or der to the extent that machine gurs have had to be called into action to suppress the trouble that was being caused.
 This does not indicate that the fac tion is going to do it's part towards the adjustment of the Irish question in a fair and sensible manner. It indicates rather that there is a determination upon the part of the Sim F'einers to insist upon tileir demands being com piled with regardless of the attitude of the rest of the people of Ireland and gives promise of a disposition to wreck in advance any possibility of successful outcome of the convention Reason is apparently being thrown to the winds.

IN GREECE TODAY.

The dethronement of Constantine
 was expected to be the forerunner of
 changes in Greece and a new Greek government. That this is already un- derway is evidenced by the resignation
 of the Zaimis ministry and the an nouncement of King Alexander that he will call upon Venize1os to form a new cabinet. Disorders have taken place in Athens which French troops have been called upon to put down, and this can be attributed to the re- monstrance which is being made by those of the old -egime who are de- termined not to accept the new order of things passively. It is hardly probable that it vii! result in any se- r!cus disorder. The tendency of the Greek people has been against the pro-
 German activities of the ex-king as vas plainly shown by the great num- hers who quickly fecled to the stand ard of venizeles and the constant de- fections which have been taking place in the past few months among the of f1cers and men of the Greek army in the same direction.
 Nenizelos is one of the Greek lead CTS in whom there is much confidence placed by the rank and file of the people This was markedly displayed by t1s reception which he received in Athens on his return. He has stood for the uphoidiug of the constitution of Greece, for the carrying out of the treaty with Serbia. which had it been respected at the time of the Bulgar- ian invasion of that country. there would be today a different situation in that Mediterranean country. And the influence which he is able to bring to bear is likely at this date to cause Greece to take a decidedly different view if it does not result in its entry into the war on the side of the en- tente nations.
 Greece appears now to be in the po- sition which it should have been year CT mere ago. The new king shows an inclination to follow a different course than his father and he plans to call to his assistance one of the strongest men Of the nation. As the result the is going to aid in the adjust l ing of some of the existing Greek problems while it is not beyond the limit of possibilities that Greece will 1 stand by it's friends.
