Ward, as a matter of course. tied his
horse to the fence and went into the
cabin with her. He also asked her to
stake him to a dish towel, which she
did after a good deal of rummaging.
He stood with his hat on the back Of
his head, a cigarette between his lips,
and wiped the dishes with much ap-
parent enjoyment. He objected strong
" to Billy Louise's assertion that she
meant to Grub the floor, but when he
found her quite obdurate he changed
his method without In the least degree
yielding his point, though for diplomat
&c reasons he appeared to yield.
He carried water from the creek and
alled the teakettle. the big iron pot and
both pals. Then, when Billy Louise
had turned her bac,s upon him while
she looked in dark corner for the
mop, he suddenly seized her under the
arms and lifted her upon the table, and
before she had finished her astonished
gaspings he caught up pail of water
and sloshed it upon the floor under her.
Then he grinned in his triumph.

nation and then sat absolutely still

down into the fields she had ready.
They would be safe there surely. Still,
she wished Ward would come. She
wanted to talk it over with a man who
understood and who knew more about
such things than she did.
The fate of the four heifer calves be-

The Little Devils of Doubt.

The Little Devils OF Doubt.
TINE spring had come, and Wolver-
inc canyon. with the sun shining
down aslant into its depths, was
a picturesque cash in the hills, wild
enough in all conscience, but to the
normal person not In the least degree

Lit and warm. The cherry thickets
whispered In light breeze and shell
tered birds that sang in perfect con-
tent Not a gloomy place surely when
the peace of a sunny morning laid it's
spell upon the land.
Billy Louise, however, did not re-
spond to the canyons enticements. She
brooded over her own discouragements
and the tantalizing little puzzles which
somehow would not lend themselves to
any convincing solution. She was in
that condition of nervous depression
where she saw her finest cows dead by
bIoat in the alfalfa meadows-and how
would she pay that machinery note
then? She saw John Pringle calling

Write CHEEKY Letters.

One girl has a plan which has
worked out admirably. She never
writes any of her troubles to her peo-
pie. She decided when she started
out in life for herself that she would
never write of her worries. If she
were in any real difficulty she would
use the telegraph. And she would use
it only to solve problem which could
not be solved in any other way.
So far she has been able to work
out all her problems without writing
of her worries. She has never tele-
graphed, because she has found that
with earnest effort she has been able
to work out all of her own difficulties.

The Thrills of Youth.

After all, the toys of youth are fairly

Care for Farm Tools.

Tools, saws, chfsels and the like
should also be oiled when not in use.
A bright saw will run much easier
than a rusty one. A pair OF sheep
shears put away in the spring without
being oiled will be of little value when
next needed.

SOLDIERS WILL Be
TRAINED SPEEDILY
EXPERIENCE OF PAST YEAR
SHOWS HOW TO PREPARE
RECRUITS FOR WAR.

From now on soldiers will pass
through the camps and environments
in this country rapidly, Washington
dispatches say.
The average training.period on this
side of the Atlantic probably will not
be longer than three months.
I Troops are to be kept moving
across the ocean at the average rate
of 100000 month. The govern
ment is now ready to move the sec
ond installment of troops from some
of the camps and cantonments.
September saw the last of the units
that were in the original mobilza-
ton depart for France. One year
ago the first of September the war
department announced that it was
ready to receive troops for training
! in 16 national guard mobilization
camps and an equal number of ma
tional army cantonments.
At the same time every existing
regular army regiment in this coun-
try was split into three parts and
the work of building each part into a
complete unit was begun.
One regular army division end two
national guard divisions went almost
directly to France after mobilization
and the men who went over there in
those divisions are now wearing the
three gold stripes which years
service abroad gives them.
Throughout the year the stream OF
troops has continued to move across
and during the last four months it
has moved at a rate far beyond the
expectation of a year ago.
A few of the divisions, mostly ma
tional guard divisions, became con-
siderably discouraged before they fl
lnally got off for the other side. No
public explanation of why these
troops were held until the last has
been made or will be made; but 1t
lis generally understood that the
trouble was lack of efficient Off
GERS.
/ The experience of the year in the
/ training of troops has, of course,
/ been of great value to the govern
ment, and members of the general
staff say that, in the light of all that
has been learned during the II
months, raw troops should make as
much progress in three months as
the troops first modified made in
six months.
| Returning transports are bringing
back weekly large numbers of sea-
soned American officers, who are to
train troops here at home. Many
hundreds of these officers already
have been distributed to the various
mobilization camps and environments.
1t is proposed to assign them per-
manently to the new divisions that
are being trained and they will go
across with these divisions. When
it comes time to fill the camps and
cantonments the third time, sec
ond relay of training officers will be
brought home.
Many of the 80 mobilization
camps and environments that were
originally established for the train
ing of the American army are now
