a MIGHT and a Morning.

Stella Donovan never forgot the
miseries of her first night In Haskell.
When old Man Timmons finally left /
her, after placing the fiaring lamp on
a chair, and went pattering back down
the bare hall, she glanced shuddering-
ly about at her unpleasant surround
ings. none too pleased with the turn OF
events.
The bed-clothing, once turned back
and inspected, was of a nature to pre-
vent the girl from disrobing; but final
ly she lay down, seeking such rest as
was possible, after turning the flicker
ing flames of the lamp as low as she
dared. and then finally blowing 1t out
altogether. Her thoughts, never still,
wandered over the events of the eve
ning-the arrival at Haskell station,
the strange meeting with Westcott,
and the sudden revelation that he was
the partner of Frederick Cavendish
The big, good-natured miner had In
terested her from the first as repre-
senting a perfect type Of her precon-
sceived ideal of the real westerner.
She had liked the firm character OF his
face. the quiet, thoughtful way in
which he acted, the whole unobtrusive
bearing of the man. Already he had
| awakened her trust; she felt con-
yinced that IL she needed friendship
| advice, even actual assistance. here
was one whom she could implicitly
trust.
She was young and she awoke rest
ed and refreshed, In spite of the fact
that her body ached at first from the
discomfort of the cot. She stared
about at the bare, board walls, the bull
let-scarred mirror. the cracked pitcher,
before she could fully reassure her
self: then stepped upon the disreputa-
BILE rug and crossed to the open Win
dow.
She Strengthened up. emitting swift
breath of delight, as her wide-open
eyes surveyed the marvellous scene OF
mingled loneliness and grandeur. The
stream, curving like q great snake
cleaned amid the acres Of green grass
its swift waters sparkling in the sun
Beyond, seemingly at no distance al
all, yet bordered by miles Of turf and
desert, the patches of vivid green In
terspersed with the darker cOloring Of
! spruce, and the Outcropplng OF brown
rocks, the towering peaks of grea
] mountain-chaln swept up iptO thu
clear blue of the sky, black almost Il
! their SUBMITS, which were dazzling
with the white of unmeltedasnow.

MOST POPULAR GIVEN NAME
"John," or Its Derivative, Common in
All Languaues-Explainlng Size
Of Jones Family.

John is the most common given, or
Christian, name we have. Its history
is curious. 1t came originally from the
Hebrew Jehohannen. God is gracious
The Greeks made 1t Johanan, and in
the feminine 1t became Anna and Ham
nah The name was unknown In Sax
on England and was seldom used
among the Normans. In the Dooms-
day book, the record of the inhabitants
of England which William the Con-
queror had complied. only two Johns
are listed. and one of them Is a Dane.
The German form is Hans, and some
times Johan. From these we have the
surnames Hanson and Johanson. The
dlminutive is found in Hanks. Hankin.
Hankinson, Jankin, Jenkins, Jensen
and Jennings. Shane is the Irish form
of John and Jean the French. Consid-
ering the popularity Of the name John
and the fact that at this time 1t was
spelled "J-o-n" and pronounced "Jone,"
the size OF the Jones family will be ex-
planned. The name means "son Of
john" John Jones Is found In almost
every community.

When the long overland train
paused moment before the ancient
box car that served as the depot for
the town OF Haskell, nestled in the
gulch half mile away, it deposited
Miss Donovan almost in the arms Of
Carson, the station agent, and he,
wary of the wiles of women and the
ethics of society, promptly turned her
ever to Jim WestcOtt, who had come
down to inquire If the station agent
held a telegram for him-a telegram
that he expected from the East.
"She oughtn't to hike to the Tim
mons house alone, JIM" Carson said
"Thls yere is pay day up at the bic
mines, an the boys are havin' a h---

Atmosphere Above Earth.s surgaee.

The atmosphere is believed to ex-
tend much more than 100 miles above
the earth's surface. Its density de
creases rapidly for the first few
miles of ascent, then much more grad
ually. From the phenomena of twi-
light. due to refraetion OF light, 1t may
be demonstrated that the air extends
up to a height of As miles; but other
phenomena, such as the behavior OF
meteors- and the aurora. show that
rare air exists at a much greater
height.

One day. as he was wandering aim

on a huge boulder not far from the
railroad that runs along the shore OF
a lake. ListIessly he began to carve
his name on the rock, but gradually
warmed to the task and chiseled zeal
ously away until he had wrought both
name and date with various emheilish-
ing fiourishes.
AS he was proudly surveying the
result Of his labor. an elderly back
woodsman appeared on the scene Att
er the customary greeting, he dex-
terously shifted his pack to the ground
then with a somewhat quizzical air
surveyed the lawyers work.
"Ouite bit of art you've got
there" he observed gravely.
The lawyer accepted this tribute
complacently.

to make him reckless. He stepped
backward, feigning laugh, watchful
to catch Westcott off his guard.
