The writer enjoyed last Saturday
afternoon in the college print shop at
Brookings, which is under the efficient
management of Seth Thornton. This

with the students enrolled, too. Seth's
one ambition is to turn out first-class
printers, and he is certainly doing it.

CHAPTER XIII.

John Stuart Webster's agile brain
was the repository OF many conflict
ing emotions as he bathed, shaved,
and changed from his soiled khaki
field clothes to a suit OF ducks before
presenting himself before Dolores.
Had Billy's courage forsaken him
at the last minute, with the result
that he had gone back to the United
States without having settled the
question of Dolores future? Had ne
proposed and been rejected, or had
he proposed, been accepted, and had
his plans for an immediate marriage
vetoed by Dolores?
In either event, why had Billy
failed to leave a note for him at the
Hotel Mateo, or mailed him a letter
to the Globo de Orc at San Miguel de
Padua, advising him OF the change In
the plan of action outlined for him by
Webster?
In the simplicity OF his si%ngle-heart-
ed devotion Webster was puzzled to
understand how any woman In her
right mind could fail to fall In love
with Billy Geary. A man he was, from
heels to hair. and a man with pros
poets far above the average. To Web
ster's way of thinking, the girl who
married Billy might well count her
self fortunate.
Dolores greeted him with unaffected
pleasure. swell, Caliphw she said
Just that. It made Webster sensible

She knew what her reply would lea,
to; nevertheless, with that dissimula

woman, she answered with equal bold
ness: "Indeedl Pray why2"

! because he believes the field before
him affords still a greater opportunity
than as president Of the American
Press Association for h%elpfulness TO
the farmer, the country home dweller,
the country housewife, and the coun-
try newspaper.
Trained from boyhood to sense the
fact that American life and American
development are dependent on the
tiller of the soil, Mr.. Smith has spent
all of his working life carrying out
the ideals of his father, and has
sought to make country life happier
and country folk more prosperous, es-
tablishing a contract with even the
American Press Association, whose
mission has been to make prosperous
the country newspaper. The growth
of the prosperity of the country news
paper has meant in proportionate de-
gree a growth in the happiness and
welfare Of those to whom the country
newspaper makes its appeal.
Strong and respected country news
papers meant to Mr.. Smith the ability
of the publisher to put before the farm
er publications that We're more help
full, more inspiring. He saw that be-
fore the country newspaper could eff
fciently carry out its great service of
education that the country newspaper
publisher must become financially in
dependent, and in the last eight years
he has succeeded in developing coun-
try newspaper income from an annual
sum of about $4,000 to an annual in
come of $4,000, 600.
1t is understood by the writer that
Mr.. Smith sees in the postal savings
banks and in the rural free delivery
machinery for greatly extending the
happiness and benefit of the rural
communities as well as a means of
establishing a closer contact between
the government and the people. and
gaining a more intelligent understand
ing Of wise government fu~nctioning.
Financially Independent, though not a
rich man as riches go in these days.

OF excellent reasons, Caliph. In the
first place, he wanted me to marry

TO leave SObrante, while Billy was.
Indeed, II was highly necessary that
he should leave Immediately, for the
sake Of his health, and ! had Billy's

when a girl marries she must make
some preparation for the event. and
IL she has any close relatives, such as

mony. You will recall, Caliph, that
