ONE OF WORLDS GREAT MEN
Johnny Appleseed, Responsible for
Many Orchards in Wide Range, viii
Not Soon Be Forgotten.

John Chapman's name occupies an
important place in our American his
tory, for he Is known as Johnny APP
pleseed, the Apostle of Apple Grow
ing" More than hundred years have
passed since Johnny Appleseed scat
tered apple seeds throughout wide
range Of territory from Pennsylvania
to the Mississippi country, and in hui
mlllty, yet his name has been immor-
talized, and we Of future generations
will be long time forgetting the name
of this great father of the modern
apple-growing industry, the Christian
Herald states.
johnny Appleseed was born In
Springfield, Mass, in the year 1775,
eventful In American history in more
ways than one. About the year 1901
he emigrated from Massachusetts, join
ing those forces starting for the un-
known western country.
In the territory between Massachu-
setts and Ohio, and as far as Indiana,
Mr. Chapman was familiar figure.
He foresaw the tide of migration 60
Ing TO the West, and seeing the need Of
fruit, devoted his life to It's culture.
Gathering all the apple seeds he could
secure in his native state he would
make long trips west, planting the
seed and supplying the scattered set
tiers with enough to provide them with
dependable orchards. The result was
thousands of producing apple orchards
throughout this vast territory.

-"Yes-on ones nerves." Hazel re-

Bill smiled, and, rising, began to clear
away the dishes. Hazel resisted an i'm
pulse to help. She would not work
she would not lift her finger to any
task, she reminded herself. He had
put her in her present position, and he
could wait on her. SO she rested an
elbow on the table and watched him.
In the midst Of his work he stopped
suddenly.
"There's oceans of time to do this"
he observed. "Tm just wee bit
tired, If anybody should ask you. Let's

He put more wood on the kitchen

CHAPTER VI.
a LITTLE Personal History.

- EikliC
Hazel discarded the wet coat, and,
drawing chair up to the fire, took
Off her soppng footgear and toasted
her bare feet at the blaze. Her cloth
ing was also wet, and she wondered
pettishly how N the world she was
going to manage with only the gar
mehts on her back-and those dirty
and torn from hacking through the
brush for matter of two weeks. Ac-
cording TO her standards, that was
roughlng It with vengeance. But
presently she gave over thinking Of her
plight. The fire warmed her, and, with
The chill gone from her body, she be-
slowed O curious glance on her sur
roundings.
There was furniture OF sort I'M
known to her, tables and chairs fash
ioned by hand with infinite labor and
rude skill, massive in structure, uphol-
stored with the skins of wild beasts
common to the region. Upon the wallis
hung pictures, dainty black-and-whlte
prints, and water color or two. And
between the pictures were nailed heads
.of mountain sheep and goat, the ant
hers of deer and caribou. Above the
fireplace spread the huge shovel horns
of q moose, bearing across the prongs

Kiss Under the Mistletoe.

The mlstletoe was held in great
reverence by the Drulds. 1t was be-
lleved to be particularly and divine
ly healing; in fact, it was given this
attribute for centuries. 1t had special
significance as the cause of the death
of Balder, the Morse Apollo, who was
killed by an arrow made from its
branches.
Subsequently Balder was restored to
life, the mistletoe tree was placed un-
der the care of Frigga, and from that
time until it touched the earth was
never again to be an instrument Of
evil.
The present custom of kissing un-
der the mistletoe is the outcome Of an
old practice Of the Druids. Persons Of
opposite sexes passed under the sus-
pended vine and gave each other the
kiss Of love and peace, In full assur-
ance that, though 1t had caused Bal
der's death, 1t had lost all its power
OF doing harm since his restoration.

mock dignity, and went back into the
kitchen.
Hazel heard him rattling pots and
dishes, whistling cheerfully the while.
She closed the door, and busted herself
with an inventory Of the tenderfoot
ladys trunk. In 1t she found every
thing needful for complete change, and
variety Of garments to boot. Folded
I'm the bottom of the trunk was gray
cloth skirt and short blue SILK
kimonn. There was coat and skirt,
too, of brown corduroy. But the femi-
nine instinct asserted itself, and she
laid out the gray skirt and the kimono.
For dresser Roaring Bill had fash
loned wide shelf, and on II she found
toilet set cOmplete-hand mirror,
military brushes, and sundry articles,
backed with silver and engraved with
his initials. Perhaps with a spice OF
malice, she put on few extra touches.
There would be some small satisfac-
tlon in tantilizlng Bill Wagstaff-even
If she could not help feeling that IL
might be dangerous game. And, thus
arrayed in the weapons Of her sex, she
slipped on the klmono, and went into
the living room to the cheerful glow OF
the fire.
Bill remained busy in the kitchen
Dusk fell The CLEAN Of d light showed
through a cracE in the door. In the
big room only the fire gave battle TO
the shadows, throwing n ruddy glow
into the far corners. Presently Bill
came in with pair of candles which
he set on the mantel above the ire
place.
"By Jove!" he said, looking down at
her. "You look good enough to eat
I'm not n cannibal, however" he con-
tinued hastily, when Hazel flushed

The table was set. Moreover, to her

no cause to be ashamed of himself, and
Hazel enjoyed the meal, particularly
since she had eaten nothing since SIX
in the morning. After time, when her
appetite was partially satisfied, she
took to glancing over his kitchen.
There seemed to be some adjunct OF
kitchen missing. A fire burned on
hearth similar to the one in the living
room. Pots stood about the edge Of
the fire. But there was no sign of
stove.
Bill finished eating and resorted to
cigarette material instead of his pipe.
"Well, little person" he said at last,
"what do you think of this joint OF
mine, anyway"
"rve just been wondering" she re-
piled. 81 don't see any stove, yet you

She sat dumb, raging inwardly. For
the minute she could have killed Roar
ing Bill. She who had been so sure In
her independence carried, whether or
no, into the heart Of the wilderness at
the whlm Of man who stood self
confessed rowdy in i'll repute among
his own kind. There was slumber-
ing devil In Miss Hazel Weir, and Il
took little to wake her temper. She
looked at Bill Wagstaff, and her breast
heaved. He was responsible, and he
could sit coolly talking about 1t. The
resentment that had smoldered against
Andrew Bush and Jack Barrow concen-
trated on Roaring Bill as the arch Of

straight ahead of him with n fixed,
absent stare, his teeth closed on his

months she had walked the floor like
that, biting her lip in mental agony.
And then, while she was looking, Bill
abruptly extlnguished the candles. In
the red CLEAN from the hearth she saw
him go into the kitchen, closing the
door softly. After that there was no
sound but the swirl of the storm
brushing at her window.
In line with Roaring Bills forecast,
the weather cleared for n brief span,
and then winter shut down in earnest.
Daily the cold increased, till a half
inch layer of frost stood on the cabin
panes.

cOuntenance or condone his offense by
discussing II from any angle whatso-
ever. And she was more determined
TO allow no degree of friendliness, even
In conversation, because she recog-
nized the masterful quality of the
man.
After a lapse of time they dropped
into another valley, and faced west
ward to mountain range which BIZ
told her was the Rockies. The next
day snowstorm struck them. 1t was
not particularly cold. Bill wrapped
her in heavy canvas coat, and plod-
ded on. Noon passed, and he made
no stop. II anything, he increased his
pace.
Suddenly, in the late afternoon, they
stepped out of the timber into little
clearing, In which the blurred outline
of cabin showed under the wide arms
Of leatless tree.
The melting snow had soaked
through the coat; her feet were wet
with the cllnglng flakes, and the chill
of lowering temperature had set Ha-
eel shlvering.
Roaring Bill halted at the door and
lifted her down from Silks back with
out the formallty of asking her leave.
He pulled the latchstring, and led her
in. Beside the rude stone fireplace
wood and kindllng were piled In readi-
ness for use. Bill kicked the door
shut, dropped on his knees and started
the fire. In five minutes great blaze
Ieaped and cracked into the wide
throat of the chimney. Then he piled
on more wood. and turned to her.
"This is the house that Jack built,
he said, with sober face and a
twinkle in his gray eyes. This Is the
man that lives in the house that Jack
built. And this"-he pointed mis-
ehlevously at her-"is the woman
