Mexico that salaries of teachers In the state must be

were disgrace to the state and that he intended
that they raised at least to the level Of the wages
paid to pick and shovel men

you have changed. What a SURPRISE"
Two weeks later Elsie and Bobby
went to the woods in Bobby's or MI.
Wellington's car. They stopped at
the edge Of the woods and walked in
to them, stopping by a great oak tree.
Here they sat down and after a friend
ly chat, Bobby or Mr.. Wellington broke
into a more important subject.
"Elsie," he said earnestly, II love
you and you know it. Can you be my
wife? Both you and I have prosper
ed since them long six years and I
can offer you love, a home and happi-
ness. Come with me back to New
York, where I have my large depart
ment store and I shall furnish a home
where there are good neighbors as
there are here and a social center.
You are my ideal and I love you bet
ter than anything else in this world"
Elsie sank into his strong arms and
buried her head on his shoulder. Her
frame shook with sobs of happiness
and she said. Bobby I love you too.
Yes I will be your wife and it doesn't
matter to me whether you own one
dollar or a million dollars"
Holding her slim graceful body
tightly against his own, he murmured
my own Little Mischief" He threw
back her black curly head and their
lips met in a long passionate kiss.
Their only job left was to plan their
future home. Mr.. Wellington had
found his real name two years before.

They smiled and bowed to each 9TH
err and although Mr.. Wellington, or
our old friend Bobby Murray, knew
Elsie, she did not recognize him. He
begged for a dance with her and she
accepted. Everybody's eyes were on
them as they whirled by, among the
crowd of dancers. Elsie's big brown
eyes shone and she wbre three gilt
tering curls hanging down her back
tied up with a pink ribbon to match
the pink sash on her dress.
Her dress was white and cut plain
with a pink sash around her waist and
her skirts reached half way between
her knees and ankles. On her feet
were a pair Of dainty pink satin slip
pers and on her finger shone a dia-
mond which was presented to her by
her father on her eighteenth birth
day.
Mr.. Wellington touched her lightly
on the shoulder and bade her come to
the porch with him. She consented
to do so but wondered what this hand
some young man had to say to her.
When they we're out there he pointed
to a chair and seating himself beside
her said:
"Don't you remember me Elsie? I
am your companion Bobby. and I am

I am only twenty-one years of age"

Mary, or something reasonable. What
is your name anyway?"
Ny name is Elsie Oliver, but for
short, my name Is Sis. Now we are
introduced, aren't we Bobby?" Those
big brown eyes looked up at him and
in them could be seen an eager and
childish delight.
ITO be sure we are, Sis and Bobby.
Sounds pretty smart, doesn't it? But
do let as get started. Well make our
plans and get better acquainted on u
way? Why what's wrong? Are your
feet hurting? He looked at her in as
constituent. :
Elsie laughed out loud. "Why don't

feet, crossed in Indian fashion, so
long? They're almost numb. But III

by the aid Of his strong young arms

walking up the road in high spirit.
After they had been walking in silence
for a while, Elsie broke the spell.
"Say, Bobby. Is there anything adj
venturous about your family? There
is about ours. Let's tell everything
we know so that we'll know each 9th
er better. Shall we? I'm so fond Of
adventure. She fairly bubbled over
in the childish delight.
"Well, yes. I am too," admitted
Bobby, 'ebut suppose you tell first this
time ?" "Of course" said Little Mis-
chief in disgust, 'rbut you see I for
got all about that" .

"Well, when mama and papa were
little children like you and /, they were
great friends. One day papa had a
plan, and Of course he dealt it with
mama. The plan was to run away,
when they we're old enough and get
married. Mama was fifteen then and
papa was seventeen. Mama agreed
to this, and they ran away three years
later. They both came from way down
in New York, up here to Colorado.
Neither Of them ever wrote home be-
cause they were ashamed. But yet
they are happy. Mama often speaks
of little sister Edna and big brother
Ludge. I don't blame papa for mar
rying mama tho. Do you? Cause
mama is awfully pretty. That's all
i guess. But it's adventurous, isn't
it? .
I'd just love to see uncle Ludge and
aunt Edna, wouldn't you?"
II should say I would Sis. Now III
tell my part. I lived about thirty
miles from here. But you know I ran
away. My mother died when I was
three and papa was killed in a run
away, just a year later. The two old
folks, who raised me, adopted me as
their own, and although my right
name isn't Murray, Robert is. Bobby
is a pet name you know.
II don't know what my real name is
so i. have to say Murray" :
"Don't you wish you knew your real
name? I'd hate to use another name
instead" said Elsie.

LITTLE MISCHIEF

The following story is written BY .
Bottineau county girl who uses the
pen name Oral Watkins.
We will 60 into the great woods
where the trees pnstle and moan IN
the breeze. The bushes and the long
grasses wave gracefully as the breeze
plays among them. The fragrant
flowers nod and smile their greeting
Of welcome, as we pass, and altogeth-
er we feel quite happy and content.
Presently we come to stop, for under
a huge oak we discover q girl.
She looks quite content, and her
plump little hands are busily engaged
in trying to unite the knots Of the
white cloth containing her lunch. She
begins to eat, and is enjoying her last
cracker, when she is startled by the
breaking Of a twig and the tread Of
feet. 4
She looked around a moment, and
finally her eyes rested on q youthful
face looking at. her through the leaves
and branches Of the trees. A startled
cry escaped her lips, but she felt more
safe q seeing a friendly smile, around
the corners Of his mouth.

FOREST FIRE PREVENTION.

For hundreds of years prior to
the advent of the white man, the
Indians, who were then the only
custodians of our forests, pre-
vented destructive fires by peri
odically setting surface fires, to
remove the litter of dead leaves,
twigs, underbrush, ETC., thus
preventing it's accumulative to
the extent of furnishing fuel for
destructive or crown fires.
That this method of prevent
ing destructive fires was sue
cessful is shown by the fact
that the forests taken over by
the white man rarely bore scars
of trees destroyed by fires. On
the contrary, these forest in
Guided the Big Trees, thousands
of years old; also the ordinary
forests intact, with trees unin-
jured by fire, hundreds of years
old. Almost all of these trees,
however, bore evidence, by their
charred bark, of the surface-fir-
ing practiced by the Indians.
Notwithstanding the fire pro-
lection afforded to the forests
by the Indians, the white man,
oblivious of the wisdom he might
have learned from the Indian, in
sists upon rigid suppression of
all forest fires, with the result
that the accumulation of litter in
a few years furnishes the fuel
for conflagrations which en-
tirely destroy the forest.
Captain Joseph A. Kits of
Grass Valley, California, a civil
engineer of years experience in
the woods, has prepared a plan
which deals with the historical
facts of this situation, and eluci-
dates the practical methods |
which might be adopted by our
Government to protect our for
ests from destructive forest
fires and encourage the refore-
station of areas now bare of
trees. Such reforestation is
essential to our timber supply,
but is now largely delayed and
prevented by the .inefficieney
Of our fire protection.
