struck the floor at his foot; he paid
no attention to it,

you all ready?"
TO man, they were ready.
They reached the thick under
growth without being seen by the en-.
envy. While the Balls and Turner'S
| fired more or less aimleSSly at the
building, drank white whisky and
called drunkenIy for the surrender to
them of Bill Dale, Bill Dale and his
men were making their way steadily
in a wide half-circle up the side of
David Morelands mountain.
Half an hour after they had left the
office building, Dale had stationed his
men, deplOyed as line of skirmishers,
behind Sheltering trees some two hun
dred feet above the Balls and their
kinsmen.
John M0reland, Ben Littleford and
Bill Dale were not far apart. ITS a
shame to do it." said Dale. II swear,
we can't shoot men in the back like
this"
John MOreland, twisted his mouth
into queer smile Of contempt, and
so did Ben Littleford. They knew,
far better than their leader, the ways
of that people without principle. The
Balls and Turner's wouldn't hesitate
to shoot them in the back.
"Well," John MOreland replied, and
it was almost a sheer, Eye might &C
down thar and give EN- some candy
and kiss 'em, and Ak 'em won't they
please surrender"
Dale leaned around his tree, great
gnarled chestnut, and called boldly:
you've got chance to surrender
now--and you'd certainly better taxi
it quick"
One of those below yelled surprised
ly: "Who're you?" Then they al
whipped to the other side Of thei
sheltering timber.
The answer came at once: I'm Bill
Dale, and I'm peeved! You're at tn
mercy of the finest hill clan that eve
looked along rife barrels; will yo
surrender, or fight it Out?"
"You said it-we'll fight it out !!

Ball, deceased. ,

slipping his rife out beside the tre'
"Give 'em HI, b0ys!"
He was unused to this sort of thing
and he was incautious. He showed
little too much of himself-there wa

THE GIRL ON THE JOB
BY Jessie Roberts,
WHAT is INITIATINE2
Upright. 1920. by whecier Syndicate

It's all very well to talk about having
initiative, but just what is initiatlve2
For one thing. the person with initia-
five doesn't wait for someone else to do a
thing. lie ism Z an imitator. He does things
himself.
He has tho brains to think, and the
energy to follow out that thought IN
action. For initiative that doesn't lead TO
something better than the old nut ism
worth much.
If YOU have ideas that are capale of
being worked out to the benefit oil your
firm, or of your own job whatever that
NAV be, then you are person oil initia-
tive. and YOU may be sure that there Is
demand for YOU. People with ideas are
rare For one who can think of new and
better way 10 do anything there are ten
thousand who can follow directions.
To be sure the man or woman who fol-
lows instructions well is above the aver
age. But TO do better than that TO bring
a creative understanding to your work
that il TO be valuable indeed.
From every side comes the demand
for the person with initiative The woman
who. in an office, can be counted on to do
what must be done even without lnstruc-
tions. who has the wit TO see at once that
some caller should be admitted to the
sanctum without waiting, that another is
To be sent away as courteously but as
quickly as possible, that this letter needs
a reply that the other car wait, or re-
quires a consultation-th woman who is
capable of this much initiative is not
found easily. But il she has areal creative
instinct, can bring working ideas to the
assistance Of her employer. If she Is not
bound by the fetish ITS always been
done this way, and has fresh eye
and an analytical mind, that woman can
ask what salary she pleases, and if she
can't get it where she is, she may be sure
of getting il at more progressive place.
Make il your habit TO think out new
methods, to explore introdden trails, TO
improve your way of working at your Job
and the value Of thst Job. There Is no
surer way toward success.

THE LATE GUEST.

II was nearly the end of the season.

and as yet MIR. Fox had not gwen his
yearly dinner party.
An the others had and We're now walt
ing for an invitation from MIR. Fox before
tho ground was covered with snow and
food scarce -. -
But wise Mr.. Fox was waiting with
purpose in view, and it was that Mr'
Bear should begin his winter nap before
he gave his winter party. "He always
eats so much" said Mr., Fox, when think
ing il over, 'that body never has enough
left even TO make soup, let alone II

And so while the wood folks waited
for the invitations to be out MIR. Fox
waited for MIR. Bear TO go TO sleep, ana
every day he walked past MIR, Bear
house TO listen for his loud, deep breath
ing.
OF course, Mr.. Fox intended to leave
AN invitation under MIR. Bears door
and pretend he did not know he had
gone to sleep, and so when he did Mt last
hear MIR. Bear taking long, deep breaths
he hurried home and got the invitations
and slipped one under Mr.. Bears door,

WHY?
Can,t Animals Talk 2
Copyright. 1920. by
Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.

When we consider that the throat. voice
box, tongue and mouth of the dumb
animals are quite as good IN their way as
are those of human beings and that dog
can use its voice far longer than most
men can, it is apparent that the ebsence of
speech on the part of the four-footed
species is due to something outside the
organs which generate the voice, some
inner consciousness which controls the
speech and enables US to give utterance to
coherent sounds. This highly specialized
ability we know as the "brain" or the
"mind, and it Is IN man alone that it is
developed to the point where he can CON
troll the sounds made by his throat and
vocal organs to the point Of speech.
The brains of the four-footed animals
even the cleverest Of those which have
lived all their lives in the company Of hu-
man beings and also are educated as far as
possible-are vastly inferior 10 those of
man. They have not the brain power suf-
fcler,t TO enable them purposely to use
special sounds with special meaOing
other than the noises which are natural
to their species-such as the whining Of
dog whenit Is hungry or cold, the purring
OF cat when it is contented, or the frantic
QooIng Of COW when its calf is removed.
10 talk rs humans talk requires the use
q at least little of the special powers in
herent In the human mind alone, and
which. SO far as the brain is concerned, far
exceeds the corresponding portion OF the
animal brain. The dumb beasts can, there
fore. make known their wants to a slight
extent but owing to the limited capacity
of their brain structure, they cannot trans
late these wants into what we understand

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe:
Della the new nursegirl Is no more. |
don't mean she's physically dead, / just
mean she's among the departed as far as
personally am concerned. Her appetite
simply knew no limit or if it did it refused
TO recognize 1T, and the climax was copped
this morning when / went around to
St1tz's store and Mr.. Stutz in handing out
my bill also handed out the remark that
must of had several parties last week.
1--WE had one party, MIR. Stutz," says,
"and believe me" / says, She's some
party"
And paid the bill, trying not to let the
other customers see how much il disagreed
with me. and then | went home and told
Della IN plain black and white that hence
forth after this she and / could be nothin <
more than distant friends. / told her I'd
give her q recommendation, and | did,
though in order 20 make it consort with
my conscience / underlined the word
healthy" twice.
Mrs Fink made a suggestion as TO why
/ don't try TO get a girl fresh from the,
other side, and quick as a wink / says,
mo thank YOU Mrs. Fink" ! says
''the girls on this side are plenty fresh
enough" 1t was good patriotic answer
TO make, wasn't 1t Joe?
W ell UldyDt SOIL size 81 yS-pue reason
why it borders on the impossible 10 beat
Mrs Fink at an argument is because she
refuses TO stop talking maybe so, she
says, ''but if you go after German girl
you'll be just as liable as not to get
former German princess or the wife of
some former count or mark or something
/ understand all the titled nobility are
going out into service now TO keep from
starving into the grave . she saws
Wen even if that's so Joe j believe in
democracy and if the uppish classes of
Europe can't starve without my assistance
why so much the worse for them And
besides in the bargain, when think Of the
