Hubert borrowed another match and
relighted his pipe. on which he had
neglected to draw.
II swore of on ever associating with
or writing to any girl any more in my
whole life-and I'm going to stick to

AL burst out laughing.

but this is sure thing. I tell you
never again."
Hubert retired early and was tossing
and tumbling among the blankets,
when AL stole softly from the shack
and made his way to shed where the
engineers supplies and surveying i'm
plements were stored.
Lighting q lantern he seated HIM
self on box of groceries. and then
grinning somewhat ruefully, produced
a letter from pocket of his coat.
"Can you beat it?" he mused. Il

He looked curiously at the address
on the envelope.

the address all right, but this is rather
bulky for a poem"
He brought a claspknife from his
trousers and opened 1t.

said. "but something tells me all is not

That's enough" he said. as he blew
out the light and left the shed. I'm
not reading my pals love letters. It's
bad blunder but my forgetfulness
has saved the situation. 1t would have
been a scream If the editor of Forest
Trail had received this manuscript.

He walked back toward the shack.
"I'll give it to Hub in the morning" p"
he thought, but after he had gone tc
bed he got to turning 1t over in his
mind, with the result that early the
next day he hiked to Sheffield. Enter.
ing the railroad station. which also
served as telegraph Office, he busted
himself with yellow blank. After
spelling two blanks, he handed one to
the operator.
The message he had written was ad.
dressed to Jean Penbrook, at certain
address in st. Paul, and it said:
"Will you marry me in May? Must
know before the new year starts. Don't
answer if you refuse. Hubert"
"Tm a meddler as well as a forger,
thought AL as he retraced his steps
toward camp after loading up with to-
bacco.
Shortly after the engineers had fin.
ished supper knock sounded on the
door and when Hubert opened 1t man
fiourished telegram In his face. HUI
bert signed for it, opened it and read
while AL got very busy with the T.
squares and the compass and the trian-
giles.
Not a word was said about the tele-
gram during the entire evening. Both
men busted themselves with their
drafting for an hour or two, then got
out books and read. waiting for the
new year to dawn.
The only timepiece in the shack was
an alarm clock, and this had been set
to ring out the old year.
Shortly before the hour approached,
Hubert seated himself at his desk and
became active with writing materials.
AL kept one of his eyes on his book
and chuckled softly, while the other
surreptitiously watched Hubert.
Presently the clock tangled the mid
night hour.
Happy New Year, Hub" called Al.
"How are you starting it?'
Hubert continued scratching with the
pen.
"None of your confounded business !"
he growled, without looking up.
Al laughed aloud
"Tll hand you that five tomorrow"
announced Hubert, as he started on
the eleventh page.
"Never again." mimicked Al.

smudging the room.
Pipes make men closer friends and
tend to pry open the covers that hide
the secrets of their hearts. especially
when there is sorrow connected with
the secret and the troubled one feels
the need of consolation. Moreover, the

between these two men that was firm,
and already they had exchanged some
condolences.
