fair-haired woman as she passed. The
central space was filling up with Pi-

she knew them collectively by their
short hair. These were brush cutters.
This, then, meant the beginning of
real activity. Tom would at last be
satisfied. He would no longer sulk
and rage alternately at the hold-up of
the work.
Before she reached Richards ra-
mada she saw that another woman
was there. She caught an impassioned
gesture. Her only surmise rested on
Innes. Gerty saw that she was dark !;
she looked the halfbreed. The brown
woman drew back as the white woman
entered. Gerty smiled an airy reas-
surance. She herself would wait She
did not want to be hurried. She told
Richard that she had plenty of time.
''There is something you want to tell
me?" Richards patience was cour-

| imploring attitude of the stranger, de-
termined that she would not be sent
away.
'Will you excuse me. sonora? 1t

She was to tell her errand, and

Make the Minutes Worth While.

Weak characters yield the future to
the passing minute. And you can't tell'
them about it. The best way to make
people dislike you is to be constantly
reminding them of the use of time.
Each man prides himself in being his
own boss, but coming days will give
the lie to that little fiction that we can
use the present in frivolity and reap
glory in the future. The trouble with
most of us is that we have the wrong
idea of pleasure. We find 1t only in lev
ity and nonsense. This is a bore to
the man of brains. Minutes that do
not contribute something worth while
to life are counted lost. He finds joy
only in what adds to greater fitness
and develops the broadest character.
Exchange.
