hills And it was tue that he began
to have secret regrets that he had
come. But it wasn't that he was dis
appointed in the land that was open
ing up before him. It fulfilled every
promise. His sole reason for regrets
lay in the fact that now the whole
mountain world would know of the
decay that had come upon his people.
Perhaps it would have been better to
have left them to their traditions.
He had never dreamed that the
fame of his grandfather had spread
so far For the first ten miles Dan
listened to stories-legends Of cold
nerve that simply could not be shaken;
Of a powerful, tireless physique; of
moral and physical strength that was
seemingly without limit. Then, as
the foothills began to give way to the
higher ridges, and the shadow of the
deeper forests fell upon the narrow,
brown road, there began to be long
gaps in the talk. And soon they rode
in utter silence, evidently both of
them absorbed in their own thoughts.
Dan did not feel oppressed at all.

came to his lips. Every mile was an
added delight to him. Not even wine
could have brought brighter sparkle
to his eyes. He had begun to expert
ence a vague sort of excitement, an
emotion that, was almost kin to ex-
ultation, over the constant stir and
movement Of the forest life. Once, as
they stopped the car to refill the ra-
diator from a mountain stream, Len

osity. 'You are getting a thrill out
Of this, aren't you?" he asked wonder
ingly.

Garden Cities for England.

London is trying to work out it's
housing crisis by building little gar
den cities about 20 miles outside it's
limits. These experiments in whole
sale home construction are being car
ried on by the enterprise of private
capital backed up with the generous
government subsidy that is being given
to all bone construction projects.
The profits of the promoting COM
pany will be limited to seven per cent
of the investment, the proceeds over
and above this amount going back into
town improvements.
The ideal house so much talked of
in England, that resulted from the
Daily Natl competition, will be given
a practical tryout in this new city.
The name of the place when completed
will be Welwyn Garden City.

MANY EMPLOYEES
IN CIVIL SERVICE.
TOTAL NUMBER CIVIL SERVICE
EMPLOYEES DURING LAST
JULY WAS 6o1,116.
MAXIMUM NEARLY A MILLION
A TabuIation of the Army of Workers
Fixes Average Age as Twenty
Eight, and Salary S1,176.

WashingtOn.-One person out of ev-
cry 159 in the entire country was on
the government civil service pay roll
last July 81, the civil service commits
sion declared in it's annual report.
The commission adds that of those
estimated by the census as employed
in gainful occupations in the country,
one in every. 68 was a government
worker.
The total number of civil service
employees last July, the commission
says, was 691 ZIG and the government
was using them in approximately L.
200 different kinds and grades Of
work.
There are almost a million govern
ment employees at the height o fthe
world war, the commission asserts
and adds that pre-war figures Of some
480,0 900 in 1916 probably never again
will be reached. The commission de=
clares that an "altogether rosy pic
ture can not be painted" Of the gov
ernment's personnel situation.
A partial tabulation of the great
army of government employees fixes
the average age at 284 years and the
average salary at S1,176 a year, exclu-
sive of the $24O yearly bonus which
many of the employees receive.

mark of the disease on his face. AS
NE shook hands, he tried his best to
read the mOuntaireer's expression. It
was all too plain: an dndeniable look
OF disappointment.
The truth was that even in spite of
all the Chamber of Commerce head had
told him. LennOx had still hoped to
lind some image of the elder Dan
Failing in the face and body Of his
grandson. Because of the thick
glasses, Lennox could not see the
young mans eyes; but he didn't think
it likely they were at all like the eyes
with which the elder Failing saw his
way through the wilderness at night
Of course he was tall, just as the ia
nous frontiersman had been. but
while the elder weighed one hundred
and ninety pounds, bone and muscle,
this man did not touch one hundred
and thirty. Evidently the years had
brought degeneracy to the Failing clan.
LennOX WAS desOlated by the thought.
He helped Dan with his bag to lit
tie Wiry automobile that waited be-
side the station. They got into the
two front seats, and a moment later
were starting up the long, curved
road that led to the Divide.
During the hour that they were
crossing over the foothills, on the way
to the big timber, Silas Lennox talked
a great deal about the frontiersman
that had been Dan'sa grandfather. A
mountain man does not use profuse
adjectives. He talks very simply and
very straight, and often there are long
silences between his sentences. Yet
he conveys his ideas with entire clear
ness.
Dan realized at once that if he
could be, in LennOx's eyes, One-fifth
of the man his grandfather had been,
he would never have to fear again the
look Of disappointment with which his
host had greeted him at the station.
But instead Of reaching that high
place, he had only-death.- He knew
what his destiny was in these quiet

TOWN -
itE,LpSD]
FOR "THE CITY BEAUTIFUL"
Writer Has Some Things to Say
Which Should Appeal TO All Lovers
of Their Town.

In an interesting article in the
Ladies' Home Journal recently Jane
Leslie Kift made the following peril
nent remarks:
'"The number of hOpelessly shabby
little towns is appalling. Almost every
town, be it large or small, has wO-
mans club, and the women of these
organizations set the standards, and
the rest of the community make
more or less successful effort to live
up to them. So it is to the club wOm-
en- of America that make the appeal
that they exert every effort to further
The City Beautiful movement.
"The word city is used in it's broad
est sense and embraces all towns, ir-
respective of their acres or the number
of their inhabitants. Each community
has its own problems that must be
worked out along individual lines, and
this thought has been kept in mind
when the plan presented On this page
was made. While it is definite, it is
sufficiently elastic to admit of the nee
essary changes to make 1t adaptable
to any community.
All CLUBS, Sucn as new century and
civic clubs, have a garden committee.
This committee should be given the
work of managing the campaign for
The City Beautiful; and the re-
mainder of the club should lend it their
whOle-hearted support. The size of
the committee is not of paramount i'm
portance, but a committee of twelve
makes a good working number. Too
many members cause confusion, and
too few means that some will he over

eer told him jOyously, you may occa-

But as he got back into the car the
look of interest died out Of LennOx's
eyes. Of course any man would be
somewhat excited by his first glimpse
Of the wilderness. It was not that he
had inherited any of the traits of his
grandfather. It. was absurd to hope
that he had. And he would soon get
tired of the silences and want to GO
back to his cities. He told his thought
that it. would all soon grow old to
him; and Dan turned almost in anger,
"You don't know" he said. 81

about it. I'm never going to Lave the

"But 1 do" He tried to speak fur

couldn't if I wanted to. That cough
tells you why, guess"
"YOu mean to say" Silas Lemon;
turned in amazement "You mean that
you're "a goner? That you've given
up hope of recovering"
'"That's the impression I meant to
convey. I've got a little over four
months-though I don't see that I'm
any weaker than was when the doc
tor said I had six months. Those
four will take me all through the fall
and the early winter. And hope you
won't feel that you've been imposed
upon-to have d dying man on your
hands,"
'It isn't that" .Si1as Lennox threw
his car into gear and sta rted up the
long grade. And he drove clear to the
top of it and into another glen before
he spoke again. Then he pointed to
what looked to Dan like a brown
streak that melted into the thick
brush. THAT was a deer" he said
slowly. "Just a glimpse, but your
grandfather could have got him. be-
tween the eyes. Most like as not,
though, he'd have let him go. He

HI seemed to be cropping for words
what is it, Mr.. Lennox" Dan
asked.
Instead of being sorry, I'm mighty
glad you've come" LennOx told him
Its not that I expect you to be like
your grandfather. You haven't had
his chance. But it's always the way
of true men, the world over, to come
back to their own kind to die. That
deer we just saw-hes your people
and so are all these ranchers that
grub their lives out of the forests
they are your people, too. And you
couldn't have pleased the old mans
old friends any better, or done more
for his memory, than to come back
to his own land for your last days."
The words were strange, yet Dan
intuitively understood. It was as If
a prodigal son had returned at last,
and although his birthright was
squandered and he came only to die,
the people of his home would give him
kindness and forgiveness, even though
they could not give him their respect

live, Failing sits despondently on a
park bench, wondering where he
should spend those six months A
friendly squirrel practically decides
the matter for him. His blood is

had known and loved his grand
father, a famous frontiersman. He
makes his home with Silas Lennox,
