ever known:

In his boyhood days, no fence was
sacred to him. As soldier in the
Civil war he made sketches and sent
them back to the folks at home.

were seated in close conference along
the path that led to the Dirty Mary

"Well, Wen get 'er," monotoned
Uriah, with a far-away look in his
bloodshot eyes.
"After I'm married to her." took up
the boy, 'you'll tell me who she is,
eh?'

down to the scow now. Good-by, and
be sure to tell your mother to put up
the sign we spoke of if everything's
clear for me to butt in"
Edith Devon looked up from the
boat deck as her husband approached.
He sat down on the bench beside her,

"Ede," he asked, "seen any change

''Yes, have" she returned. you

This remarkable product of Cali
fornia jumped into fame overnight.
While a clerk in country store he
sent story to San Francisco mag
azine. It was so original that the
publication accepted it with enthusi-
asm and printed a query to readers
as to the identity of the author. No
one had ever heard Of him as writer,
but in short time the magazine be-
gan to receive replies from the back
woods section wherein he lived with
original anecdotes about Pete"
Several more short stories from his
pen appeared and then the publish
ers and editors began to camp on
his doorstep. His "Cappy Ricks'
sketches have been received with de-
light in all portions Of the country,
have been dramatized, put into mo-
ton pictures and run as serials. Pre-
eminent in the short story field, he
has done some excellent novels, OF
which "The Valley Of the Giants"
is probably the best. It VIII appear

Mrs. Curtis desperately. Heres the
five thousand dollars" She thrust a
roll Of bank notes into his hand. "Tll
send Tony right down." ended the
woman and she went swiftly out.
Uriah glanced about the room In
anticipation. He intended not only
to take Tony with him, but every
thing else of value he could lay his
hands on. Edith had often described
the v61uables kept in a wall-safe in
this very room. Mrs. Curtis had no
more than closed the door before, re-
vOlver In hand, he began his search.
An exclamation of delight almost es-
capped his lips when he discovered the
safe-door was unlocked. He grinned
at the carelessness Of the rich as he
flung into the black bag the boxes of
jewelry, completely stripping the safe
of its contents. He didn't take time
to look over his haul That would
come later.
All through the day Tonnibel Devon
had told her Joy over and over to her
self. Now, almost ready to retire, she
was sitting reading the Bible. It
seemed most appropriate that on this
night she should sing with the Poet
the Psalms of Thanksgiving. - -
A knock at the door caused her 10

into the library, painting for breath.
Her cup Of happiness was full to the

and ran into the room.
"Edie, mummy dearl" she called
softly, so overcome she could not

blows that can be offered TO their

still cOntrived TO make themselves in

shoulders, at intervals, with say-not-so

these faces were far enough away to

"Sit down and rest awhile" said her
mother. I'm afraid you play too

her husband, resuming, "Well that's

For seIf-preservdtion and self-pos-

It is in this that the right use of
Sunday may help us far more than we
fancy. For it is by quiet thought in

name before"
"WeIl, that part of it isn't espe-
cially strange, Mollie-when he was
born and brought up in town three
hundred miles from here. l don't see
just how we could have heard his
name-unless he visited here, or got
into the papers in some way"
Mrs. Atwater seemed unwilling to
yield mysterious point. She rocked
decorously in her chair, shook her
head, and after setting her lips rigid
ly, opened them to insist that she could
never change her mind: Julia had
acted very abruptly. "Why couldn't
she have let her poor father know, at
least few days before she did?"
Mr.. Atwater sighed. "Why, she ex-
plains in her letter that she only
knew it, herself, an hour before she
wrote"
"Her poor father!" his wife repeat

"Why, Mollie, I don't see that faith
er's especially to be pitied."
"Don't you?" said Mrs. Atwater.

big house all alone, except a few ne

''Why, no! About half the houses
