SUNSET ON THE ARIZONA
 DESERT

It was an evening in early spring. and that portion of the slowly sinking sun visible above the horizon, seemed to be a section of great sphere of fire, mingled with brilliant orange and golden. The western sky was painted with many beautiful tints of pink, har- moniously blended, while the heavens above were a deep sea- blue with a scattering of grey bordered, white clouds for waves. Against this sky. in every direction Ioomed the mountains of varying shade of blue, while the foothills In the foreground were a dark violet hue. Below, the Arizona canal, looking like narrow, pale-blue ribbon stretched in a winding course over the earth, flowed through fields and desert. Among the sagebrush stood the sen tinel of the desert, the cacti. The orange groves and cultivated lands with the ranch buildings farther away, looked like miniature model farms. Occasionally there were cleared places which appeared at the distance to have the smoothness of glass and regularity of outline essential to a geometric fig ure. All plant life had been touched by the magic wand of the fairy, Spring, and the green freshness of the land scape formed a pleasant contrast to the radiancy of the sun, the sombre blues and gray of the mountains and water, the delicate pinks of the sky, the sand-co1ored c1earings and wind ing roads. The whole scene was peaceful and quiet. as the last glitter ing vestige of gold dropped below the sky line and the Emperor of the Day had left Arizona to the realm of his successor. King Night, and his retinue of nobles, the Stars.

The lover readily agreed to this plan and promised to follow her soon.
 The following morning Princess Teresa and her maid were missing and chaos reigned in the court of King Frederick. The irate king, suspecting a plot very near to the truth, ordered a thorough search of the grounds. At noon, nothing was reported, but at this time the maid of the princess came dashing into the court on her horse with the wild news that her princess was in deadly peril. Nobody could understand what she said, all they could hear was Hampton road! The Princess!" until someone finally succeeded in calming her Then she stated more rationally that the princess had wished to enter cave to hunt for a spring, that the maid had remained outside to hold the horses, and had been startled by a shriek is- suing from the cavern. Hurrying to the door of 1t, she had almost fainted, when, instead of the darkness of the cavern, a huge red mouth with mon strous fangs, gaped at her. Too ter rorized to think, the only thing she could do was to ride as quickly as possible.
 This is what had happened. but of course there had not been time for all this to be related before going to the rescue.
 Horses were at once brought out, and the body of horsemen could be seen dashing down the dusty road down to the cave 12 miles away. The king, usually indolent, was the leader in the chase. It had taken this great tragedy to make him realize how much he really did love his daughter. On and on, each moment becoming more agonizing. A huge red mouth with monstrous fangs! The king knew what horrible creature fitted this descrip tion. It was a dragoni
 The journey was made as rapidly as possible, and it was not long till they had reached the cavern. All vas silent. A terrible fear smote the breasts of the valiant knights. Was it too late 1 Nobody wished to enter through fear of the beast, until Sir Russell volun- teered to go in and learn the worst. He spared with dragon; and de- feated it. Brave Sir Russell, all in vain! The Princess Teresa was not to be found. The sad fate of the beauti- full princess was evident.
 The wicked King Frederick was sad dened by this blow He realized that he was the cause of this terrible fate and tried to make up for it by treating his subjects justly and fairly.

PRINCESS TERESA

Princess Teresa was the only daugh- ter of King Frederick, a hard and cruel king who ruled over a very small divi- sion of England in the days of King Arthur. The princess, gentle and beau tiful, beloved by all who knew her. was famous the kingdom over for her beau ty and grace. She was a, princess in every sense of the word, and was con sidered the most beautiful woman in the realm.
 She had many admirers. did Teresa, and not the most backward of these was Sir Russell, the bravest and most chivalrous of all King Frederick s knights. He had won favor in the fair eyes of the princess too, but, alas, the king was opposed to the match and went to extreme measures in order to avoid the marriage of the lovers.
 There was one knight, Sir Douglas, brave and valiant, it is true, but con ceited and naughty and it was this one the king wished Teresa to marry. Nat urally repulsive, Teresa Ioathed him with all her strength and she vowed she would die before she would wed with him. This only enraged her father more, and helped to set his idea firmer. In the face of Teresa's storm of threats and pleadings. he calmly began to make arrangements for the nuptial event; and positive of his vic tory over her, he made presents to her and tried to make her see the good in her future husband.
 At last, only a few days before the date set for the wedding, Teresa re- solved to set forth at early dawn, ac- companied by her maid, and journey to a neighboring province. where her aunt resided
 Taking her maid into her confidence she made all preparations for jour ney and on the eve of her departure went to see her lover. Sir Russell.
 You must not think that Teresa was running away merely to escape the will of her father. She had another i bee in her bonnet and it's particular l little buzz was that Sir Russell should also have occasion to journey to the same province a few days after her departure and there they could be married without the interference o, the linpr

MIR. DooLEY ON MAKING A WILL


 'I niver made a will,r said MT. Dooley. ''I didn't want to give nesilf a headache thinl5in' iv something to put into 1t. A will iv mine wud be a puny little thing annyhow an if amy wan thried to file it he'd be lble to be lacked up f contimpt iv tn Probate coOrt. Besides, I wuddn like to cause amy onseenIy wrangles an maybe lawsuits among me heirs about who wud pay fir tn express wagon to carry th' estate to tn city dump. An amy how I've always thought that if there's goin' to be ayether cheers or tears at me obsekees they shud spring firm tn heart, not firm mercinary motives. If amy fellow feels like cillybratin me departure let him do it out iv his own pocket. Thin I'll know he's sincere. 'Twud grieve me if some wan broke into song at tn news an a sthranger was to ask: Ts that wan iv his inimies? 'an' tn reply was. No, it's wan iv his heirs
 "So fir wan reason or another I've niver made a will but I'll not deny it must be considerable spoort fir thim that has tn names an tn imagination to injye it. I'm pretty sure I'd bust into tears Whin thlawyers wrote down tn direction fir somebody else to set in me rockin' chair, an I can't think iv annXthing that wud brighten tn wurpdld with me out iv it. But that wud be because I wuddn't go at it in tn right way. To be injyeabIe a will must be at wan an tn same time a practical joke on tn heirs an an ad- vertisemint iv the man that made it. Nanny a man niver has his own way till he has it through his will Afther he's dead an gone, he shoves his hat on tn back iv his head an stalks up an, down through tn house, saying. I'll show ye who's tn boss here. Err tn first time in me life now that I'm dead.

BACK To YouTH
CConcluded)


 As the two women looked into each others eyes they saw a new under standing, a new love- born of the mu- tual sympathy in their hearts. and drawn closely together by that strong est bond of humanity, they found a sweet comfort in each other.
 Aunt Mary held the dear child closely and with a wave of helpiessness and grief, Margaret sobbed her heart out on the motherly breast.
 When at last, relieved of the leader weight that had been slowly crushing her. Margaret looked up, she said softly:
 You must have been lonely so long Aunt Mary"
 'It has been very hard at times, dear but think we will both ve very happy now"
 I'm going on to school" said the girl thoughtfulIy, land I'm going tC finish college as soon as I can save the money
 sFI think we can manage that" hel aunt said with bustling air. I've got a cottage in the city and it hasn't beer rented since last winter, that's why took your money, because I don't have enough without that. We'll move tC the city and you can attend the college there. I can rent this house easily, and l have word that my stock will begir paying dividends next month, so you won't have to work"
 So it was all arranged, and Margaret started off in girlish frocks to tha world of youth, the college campus She was suddenly free from all tho hurt and disappointment that had weighted her down; her heart b1oomeC up fresh and full of new life wher the sunlight of forgiveness had reached it's depth. There were times when tho old 1ongings and heartaches returned with a stab of pain, times when hel heart cried out for a word, a sign from Sam, when she felt that she would make of her life a living sacrifice, i necessary, for him, but she knew tha it could never be; he had erected { wall of selfishness and wrong betweeI them.
 Except for these times she was hap pier than she had ever been before, anC richer for the experiences of that blacl year had given a new breadth ant depth to her heart, a new understand ing and sympathy that shone in he sweet face and won the hearts of he girl associates as nothing else coulC have done.
 She never let them know. of course and they never suspected her. for Mar

THE FOREST FIRE

A spiral of black smoke lazily coiled out of the forest far away. The day was hay and the atmosphere was per meated with fine particles of dust. All of the animals were uneasy and would
 not stay still. Toward the middle of the afternoon the smoke was not so lazy and came up in black rolls, bel lowing out. Small cinders drifted down on the hot wind. That evening the heat was so terrific that the animals headed for a small lake. At the lake they crowded it so that it was nothing but a wet, squim.ng mass. The leopards and other cats would not get into the water until driven to do so by the heat. Meanwhile trees were falling, breaking others. An hour after nothing but smoking, blackened stumps were left. Out of stump not as de- mo1ished as the rest a rabbit cravvIed

Does one have to rule over many a land and have a throne to be king? Does he have to be the master and di- rector of all? I do not think he does. Many of us have felt like kings countless of times but have not real ized the fact.
 Jane Smith saio. that when she got home and found her dear mother, little sisters, and father waiting for her and ready to offer her so much love and protection, she felt like an absolute monarch"
 Bill Smith assures us that he felt like g king more than once when he did not own even a single thing. Think hard. Aren't we all really better off than some poor king2

THE BEES

THE BEES
 I love to watch the little bees As they come buzzing by; love to watch them buzz about, love to see them fly. I love the little bees, The busy, buggy bees. oh, how they fly among the flowers, oh, how they fly among the trees- They fill their little bags With honey brown and bright, And then they rise and fly away, To store it before the night. The little bee works faithfully, And makes each little cell. And fills it up with honey brown, And spreads it OCT with wax so well. Is what the bee accomplished Wrought by unseen hands? No, it is made by the little bee, The bee that works in many lands.

While on patrol on Henry street one night recently a canary bird fitted by Parolman Killea, followed by another. Above him half a dozen more were fly ing about
 Killea investigated and found that the exodus of canaries was from a bird store. Inside, in the semi darkness, he saw five men moving about, whom he arrested. They were locked up on charges of burglary.
 Louis Polizza, who owns the bird store, said about seventy five or a hundred of his canaries had been freed. He estimated his loss at S2O0.-New York Mail.

THF OID pROSPECTOR

With a steady shuffling stride of the experienced walker the old prospector plodded on his lonely way through the desert toward the distant hills His outfit looked almost as rusty and yet as serviceable as himself His eye twinlIed humorously as he swung along with the regularity of clock work. Spurred on by that elusive hope that Fate forever dangles in men's eyes, he chose this weary and lonely path of life.
