 Well, for one thing" she said, able to smile at his vehemence, you haven't settled on anything to do. At least if you have you've never spoken of it."

 Then of course it's time did tell you. You know yourself there are a lot of people in the East-in the South too, for that matter-that don't think we've got any particular family or po- sition or culture in this part of the country. There were one or two in my crowd at college; their families had lived on their income for three generations, and they never dreamed there was anybody in their class out here. I had to show them a thing or two, right at the start, and guess they won't forget itE Well, think it's time all their sort found out that three generations can mean just as much out here as anywhere else"

TYPICAL OF GOLDEN WEST
Little Montana Town of Willow Creek Has Something of Which East
 Cannot Boast

Willow Creek is the ordinary name of an ordinary small town in Montana. Bear Creek, Roundup and Sioux Pass have more of the Western flavor, but Willow Creek is a typical little Vest so in the midst of a vast tract of clean prairie land that it cannot be measured by the yard-wide rule of cities. In the distance towering mountains keep a paternal watch over it.
 Even when the early morning mists hide the mountains and prairies, Will low Creek stands out spunkily-a def- mite spot on the landscape. The sta tion near the railroad tracks is very small, quite square and very red. Lux uriant groves of trees fill the spaces between the pretty little white, frame houses. A road that looks clean swept shows to all corners straight and narrow way ranchward. Several large willows dip their fingers in the current of the little creek that runs behind the white houses.
 As the train from the west stops a few minutes at Willow Creek, in the early dawn. a middle-aged man swings off and starts down the road at a good pace One would know him anywhere for a mining man.
 The metropolitan doing the transcon- tinental trip may smile at little Willow Creek from his comfortable Pullman, but there is one thing here of which the East cannot boast-elbow room The great reaches of space are some thing unknown and bewildering to the Eastern strap-hanger and cliff-dweIler.

CHAPTER XII.

| Young George paid his respects to 1 his grandfather the following morning, having been occupied with various af- fairs and engagements on Sunday un- til after the Majors bedtime and top ics concerned with building or exca- vations were not introduced into the | conversation, which was a cheerful one until George lightly mentioned some new plans of his. He spoke of l his desire to extend his proficiency in driving: in fact, he entertained the ambition to drive four-in-hand. How ever, as the Major said nothing, and merely sat still, looking surprised, | George went on to say that he did not propose to "go in for coaching just | at the start;" he thought it would be better to begin with a tandem. He was sure Pendennis could be trained to work as a leader; and all that one needed to buy at present, he said, would be comparatively inexpensive a new trap, and the harness, of course, and good bay to match Pendennfs." :" He did not care for a special groom :; one of the stablemen would do.
 At this point the Major decided to speak. "YOu say one of the stablemen would do?" he inquired, his widened eyes remaining fixed upon his grand son. That's lucky, because ones all there is just at present, George. Old fat Tom does it all.'

 'I know you were," said the Major quietly.
 George looked hurt 'T beg your pardon. Of course if the idea doesn't appeal to you" And he rose to go.

But in the morning he had forgotten all about it, and raised his shade, to let in the light, without even glancing toward the ground. Not until, he had finished dressing did he look forth from his window, and then his glance was casual. The next instant his at- titude became electric, and he ran from his room, plunged down the stairs, out of the front door and, upon nearer view of the destroyed lawn, began to release profanity upon the breezeless summer air, which remained unaffected.

Humorous Lapses.

Not every commencement speaker has said precisely what he wished to say to the young people before him. One was ripped by most unhappy lapsus nnguae at a young ladies' semi nary.
 He meant to say: But I have talked too long, and I do not wish to speak to weary benches" Instead of which he said 'sbeery wenches" Thereby reminding us of Tutor Spooner of Oxford, who thus addressed a meeting of farmers |: 'It is gratifying to me to behold so many tons of soil"
 But a university lecturer lately matched these infe1icities when he said: I'm not going to talk very long, but if you get what I'm going to say in your heads you'll have the whole thing in a nutshell"
 There's many true word spoken in jest.

chIldhood's Enenuy.

Laziness is an adult vice. Children are almost never lazy. Little children do not want to play; they want to work. Toys are their tools--the ob- jects they use in trying to exercise their faculties in imitation of their elders. Time out of mind the most popular toys have been those that best satisfied this impulse-a doll that the tot can mother, blocks to build houses of, and so on. A top appeals because the child can make it go.

Home Run Rap

4th Wins Game
Long Hit ~~" Scores Veach
Ahead and Routs Thor
mahlen by Tally of 3-2

DETROIT, Aug. 16.-Thc Tigers took
the final game and the series from the
Yankees here to-day. The score was
8 to 2. Despite the rain, which con-
tinucd until slightly before starting
time, one of the largest crowds that
ever damned into Navin Field was on
hand when the teams opened hostili-
ties. The sun appeared before the
game started.
The locals went after the game hard
from the start. They are now within
sight of the White Sox and are aiming
to displace them before the month is
ended. IF they keep up their present
stride they are likely to accomplish
their object.
The Yankees outhit and practically
outplayed the home nine, yet lost the
contest. However, Ayers, who twired
for Jennings, kept New York's hits
we'll scattered. Detroit, on the other
hand, punched it's blows, and these
clusters, coming in the first and third
innings, put over enough runs to win.
Ty Cobb was again a big factor in his
teams victory.
The locals got the first run in the
initial period. Bush got hit when
Fewster slipped in the mud fielding his
grounder. Young sacrificed, Thormah-
len to Pipp. Cobb singled through the
intield, Bush taking third: Bush scored
when Veach forced Cobb at second,
Pratt to Fewster.
Harry Heilman, who is playing q
whale Of a game for the Tigers at
present and who beat the Yankees at
the Polo Grounds not long ago, turned
the trick again to-day when he knocked
out a homer in the third, scoring Veach,
who had singled ahead of him.
The Yankees played desperately to
overcome the lead, but lacked the nee
essary punch to put over sufficient
runs. They Tailed in the fifth on sue
cessive hits, and got run in the sixth,
but halted at this point.

5 Giant Veterans

THE Giants have an alibi for the
loss of the Cincinnati series.
Several of the local players are on
the hospital list; or perhaps it was
the loss of the series that put them
there. In any event, the team is
far from being in the proper physi-
cal condition.
Hal Chase is suffering from
badly sprained wrist. Fred Toney,
i'll with stomach trouble, had to be
sent home from the game yester-
day. "Shufflin' Phil Douglas is
down and out with heavy cold,
while Arthur Fletcher is ambIiny
around with a painful charley
horse" Fletcher, however, gamely
sticks to his post
Larry Doyle, who has been laid
up with a wrencned back for the
past few days, is still off duty, and
his return to condition is uncertain
and indefinite.

about as quickly as it had started.

Snyder and Flack was nailed as he
slid into the plate.
Carter replaced Vaughn. It was a
depressing moment for the score
