son and another cowboy at the Cove,
just preparing to leave. Marthy, it
transpired, had sent forthem because
she wanted to make her win, so that
Rsily Louise would have the Cove when
Marthy was done with 1t. Billy Louise
cried a little and argued good deal,
but Marthy had not lost all her stub
bornness, and the viii stood un-
changed.
Billy Louise and Ward were married
just as soon as Ward was able to make
the trip TO the county-seat, which was
just as soon as he could walk comfort
ably with a cane.
They stayed the winter in the Cove,
and a part of the spring. Then they
buried grim. gray old Marthy up on the
side Hill rear Jase. where she had
asked them to lay her work-worn body
when she was gone.
They We're very busy and very happy
and pretty prosperous with their three
ranches. They never heard Of Charlie
Fox again, or of Buck olney-and they
never wanted to.
II you should some time ride through
certain portion of Idaho, you may
end the tiny valley of the Wolverine
and the decaying cabins which prove
how impossible 1t is for couple to
live in three places at once. If you

Louise, she might take you through
the canon and point out TO you her
cave. 1t is possible that she might also
show you the washout which always
made her and Ward laugh when they
passed it. And If you ride up over the
hill and along the upland and down
another hill. you cannot fail to find the
entrance to the Cove and perhaps you
viii like to ride down the gorge and
see the little Eden hidden away there.
And If you should meet them, give my
regards to Billy Louise and Ward
who never calls himself a football
these days.

Norfolk Bids Fair to Break all Rec
ords at Her Present Rate
OF Progress.

There is not a city in this country,
perhaps none In the world, that is
growing at more rapid rate than Nor
folk" remarked G. w Sizer. manager
of one of the leading hotels of that
city, at the Raleigh, the Washington
Post states. ''The last census gave
the population Of Norfolk at less than
10000. To-day It is estimated that Nor
folk is a city of 10000. or more than
double the size 1t was in 1870. Wash
ington prides itself on the tremendous
growth attained in the last two or
three years. take considerable pride
in the growth Of Washington, for |
lived here many years, but the pro-
portionate increase in the population
Of the national capital cannot compare
with that of Norfolk. OF course. both
cities are helped by war business.
Washington, I presume, is the busiest
city in the world, tut Norfolk is a.
most next.
"Hmnpton Roads is flied with ships.
Battleships are passing In and out
every hour. and soldiers and sailoss
are Cling the streets, hotels and resi-
dences of Norfolk. Only recently !
saw some 1000 soldiers from New Zea-
land parading through the streets of
Norfolk. Many OF them were not
young. New Zealand already has sent
close to 10000 men TO the front In
France, and Belgium, out Of a popu-
Iation OF 100000. and is still sending
men. which should be an object les

a Wall street clerk received his
commission In the navy because he

his rating was unusually high, but he
was little shy on military require

They would probably be standing

The very respectable French girls will
not walk on the street with man un-
less they are chaperoned. This one Is
one Of that kind, and I asked her what
harm there was In walking with me,
md she said II would be all right with

as there are SO many other things one
sees over here which are extremes In
the other direction.

Is plenty Of Twin blanc" and win rouge"
here too. I tasted some Of the red
wine the other day, and don't like II
very well. As there is plenty of good
water here and good coffee, ! think
they will suit me pretty well for the
time being. In a few days there will
be q good shower bath room complet-
