resuming his seat and his dinner. And
for the rest Of the meal harmony anc

After dinner Cherry and Martin, In
all the ecstatic first delight Of recog-

porch. where there were wicker chairs
under the rose vines. Allx alone
laughed at them as they went. Anne,

steadily. Anne, with quick little

The old man looked at him sharply,
almost sternly, looked about at tho

laughed, with all a child's innocent
exultation. The next instant Anne
and Martin were shaking hands, and
Alix had enveioped Cherry in IN en-
thusiastic embrace.

It with sudden spectacular brighten

At twelve o'clock Charity Strick-
land became Charity Lloyd and was
kissed and toasted and congratulated
until her lovely little face was burn
Ing with color and her blue eyes were
bewlldered with fatigue. At two
o'clock there were good-bys. Cherry
had changed the wedding satin for the
cream-cOlored rajah silk then and wore
the extravagant hat. It would be
many years before she would spend
twenty-five dollars for hat again, and
never again would she see bronzed
cocks feathers against bronzed straw

wood-smclling bedroom and the hour In
which she had pinned her wedding hat

She was gone. With her the uncer-

shadow fell on the forest. The noun
tain above the valley was blotted out
with fog. The brown house seemed
dark and empty when the last guests
had loitered away and the last caterer
had gathered up his possessions and
had gone.
The doctor had changed his un-
wonted wedding nnery for his shabby
old smoking jacket, but Peter still
looked unnaturally well dressed. Alix
stepped down to sit between them and
her fathers arm went about her. She

mood OF tenderness and quiet.

"Hm!" her father said, Significant

up on the other side and locked his
own arm in her free one And so
they sat, silent, depressed. their shoul-

upon the shadowy depths Of the forest
into which an October fog was softly
and noiselcssly creeping.

BLAckMoRE AND HONEST WORK.

1t has been said that w. A. Blackmore, candidate
on the Casper Party ticket for mayor is opposed to
paving improvements. He is opposed only &c certain
methods Of paving. For instance he wants the people
to get the kind Of paving they pay for. When the
specifications say concrete base must be four inches
thick. That is what it must be in Mr.. Blackmorss
way Of thinking, not two inches or any other thick
ness. And IL the specifications call for n certain
amount Of cement to be used with the sand and gravel,
that is to be the exact amount that must be used. The
Warren Construction company found all these things
out when it was attempted to evade the specifications
and put in a paving base of less thickness than the
specifications and contract called for.
The base came up and the proper base was put
down, but it was only after a threat of injunction pro-
ceedings was made that it was done.
That is exactly the way Mr.. Blackmore looked after
the interests Of the property owners in one Casper
district. That is the way he will look after the inter
ests of all taxpayers If he is made the mayor.
He will see to it that contractors with the city will
give value received and that none of them will eyade
the specifications.
If Mr.. Blackmore had been the mayor Of Casper
for the past several years the city would have saved
several hundred thousands of dollars. He would have
seen to it.
No, Mr.. Blackmore is not opposed to public i'm
provements, but he is opposed to graft in public work.
And that is the kind of a man you want in public Of

OUR HERO.

On Armistice day the American people will pay
simple and solemn respect to an unknown American
boy who fell on the battlefield of France in defense
of the emblem of his native land. He is an unidenti-
fed hero of the great conflict. The son of some low
ing mother, who win never know his fate. Unknown
as he is he will be accorded the highest honors the
republic can pay him. The president, the cabinet,
great generals and admirals, diplomats of the allied
countries, distinguished scholars and citizens all will
Unite in their homage on Armistice day.
When the hero's remains are lowered to their earth
ly resting place the president will deliver an Grafton
telling of the valor Of American soldiers and recount
ing the deeds of the boys who fought the worlds last
great fight.
As a further acknowledgement of the debt to the
departed Of which the unknown is the representative
the nations activities will stand at rest for a space of
two minutes for reflection upon the meaning of the
life and death Of this unknown boy.
The echo of the final salute will not have died away
when representatives Of the nations of the world will
gather to discuss the needlessness of such sacrifice as
came to their attention in the ceremonies in honor Of
the American boy.
The fathers and mothers in many lands whose homes
have been forever saddened by the great war, will
pray devoutly that by some means men may be
brought to an understanding of the tragedy of war
and its consequences to those who sacrifice and that
the miracle of its abolition may yet occur.

WHAT ARE

The childrens court in New York, says the st. Louis
Star, has summoned more than 200 Of the city's edu-
Gators, editors and other prominent men and women
for symposium on the subject, has a child of five
morals?-as the result of a legal contention in a case
on trial.
What are morals7t There is no question but that
n child Of five, properly brought up, knows that It is
wrong to steal or to lie. How does he know it's
wrong? Because he knows that he will be punished
if he does either.
But the argument viii be made that the child is
swayed by fear and not by morality. A man of thirty
is tempted to steal but refrains. Why? Often, too
often, it is because he is afraid Of apprehension and
punishment. Consciously or subconsciously there is
fear of rcprsal, IL not in this world, then in the next.
There are those who will claim that they do the
right thing because it is right. How do they know it
is right? Is it not because the experience Of genera
tons has shown that punishment inevitably follows
failure to do certain things a certain way?
The student Of ethicsl can perhaps SHOW that fear
does not always enter into a consideration of right or
wrong, but it will require convincing evidence to prove
that the boy of five and the man of twenty-five are
not morally curbed by the same shadow-the fear of
punishment

A HIS OLD THRONE.

Former Emperor Charles of Austria Hungary, Of
the Hapsburg line, has made another unsuccessful at
tempt to regain the lost throne of Hungary. On de-
mand of the former allied governments speaking
through Great Britain, the deposed monarch will be
expelled from Hungarian territory.
Just so long as these heaven-born gentlemen and
their descendants remain at large there will be tur-
MOL in Europe. There will always be enough royal
lists about to back the claims Of rulers the people do
not want.
Some day the Hohenzolern outfit will rise and try
1t in Germany.
The Russian Reds had the only system Of disposing
of hereditary rulers. 1t may have been brutal but it
was certainly effective. They don't return to bother
much, when they are exterminated.

a pAEAN FOR PUMPKIN Pie.

OF all the delectable dishes ever set before a king
the American pumpkin pie is the best of all, says the
Washington Star. Poems should be written about the
pumpkin pie, its worth set forth in song and story, and
recipes for its making stored in the bureau Of stand
ards.
With the first touch of real fall pumpkin pies have
made their annual appearance in Washington, and
something really ought to be done about some Of
them. To any one who has ever tasted a real pump
kin pie, some of these local efforts are a snare and a
delusion. They are no more pumpkin pies than apple
pies are. Cinnamon pies can masquerade as pump
kin only to the unknowing. As in everything else in
life, one must know first the real to be able to de-
tect the imitation. So it is with our old friend, the
pumpkin pie. Those of us who have eaten of the
golden brown pie, made of real pumpkin, accompan.
by a dark brown pastry that gets its favor from the
spice jar.
