 he paused and looked back at the
 cabin, the little brown house that he
 had built almost fifteen years ago.
 He remembered that it was in the beginning a. sort of experiment; his
 mother and he were too much alone
 in their big city house, and she had suggested, with rare wisd om that as he did not care for society, and as
 his travels always meant great 1oneh- ness for her, he should have a little eyrie of his own, to which he might
 retreat whenever the fancy touched him.
 She liked Del Monte and Tahoe herself, but she had come to Mill l Valley now and then in the days of his first wild delight in its freed om

Alix was his own; Cherry had never been his own. It was for him to com fort Cherry.~it~ had always been his mission to comfort Cherry, since the days of her broken dolls and cut fin gers. But AliX was his own comfort CT, and Alix might have been laughing and stumbling and chattering beside him here, in the dark, wet woods, full of a child's happy satisfaction in the moment and confidence in the nor row.
 '.Alix, my wife!" he said softly, aloud. "I loved Cherry-always. But you were mine-you were mine! We belonged to each other--for- better and for worse-and I have let you goI"
 He went on and on and on. They were plunging down hill now, under the trees. He would see a light after a while and sleep for few hours, and have a hunters breakfast, and be gone again. And he knew that for weeks for months-perhaps for years, he would wander so, through the great mountains, with their snow and their forests, over the seas, in strange cities, and stranger soIitudes. Always alone.
 That would be his life And some day-some day perhaps he would come back to the valley she had low ed

ITALIAN TENOR SAYS WE HAVE NO REAL

 Paris, Nov. 1-According to Man. fredo Polverosi, an Italian tenor, just back from New York, there is no such thing as an American boxing cham pion. They are all Italians. Re- was an Italian and that his name was Densi.
 Now he charges that all other American boxers are really Italians who emigrated to America years ago, as they could find no outlet for their boxing abilities in Italy. Thus Pete Herman, bantamweight champion. comes from Italy, and his correct name is Pietro Gu1otta; Johnny Will son, niddleweight, halls from Naples and was known there as Joseph Pani- co. Ernest Rice is in reality Riso Ernesto. Flynn, who fought Demp- sey. is also Italian and was known as Chiarigltone. Bob Martin was Roberto Martini. and Jack Sharkey's real name is Scianca.
 Frenchmen are wondering if the Italian tenor will not find that Car pentier was once Italian and had such a name as Giorgio Carpentiero.

/ LAND VALUES ARE LOWER
.r.-t ..,u,s < :. $780, 40
In Last Year the Average Price Has
Decreased 7 Per Cent

The average price Of plowland per
acre In the United States decreased
about per cent the past year. ac-
cording to a report just issued by
the United States department OF agri-
culture. The average value Of plow-
land per acre March Of this year
was $S3.7S. as compared to $90.OI
In 1920, and $74.31, In 1919. The
statisticians Of the department at
tribute the decline to the reduction
In the prices of crops.
: The report shows that the heav-
lest drop In the price Of LAND e In the
southern states, where cotS6d Is the
principal crop. In some sections OF
these states. there has been a decline
Of 80 per cent In the price Of plow-
land In the year The average price
of plowland in Georgia this year ia
$40 per acre, while last year 1t was
$40 drop Of about % per cent.
The average In South Carolina last
year was SOL, while this year 1t is
$50 drop Of Is per cent.
Greatest Drop In Kentucky
Probably the greatest drop In any
one state was in Kentucky, and 1t is
attributed to the sdecline in the price
Of tobacco. In 1920 the average
price of plowland for this state was
$40 per acre, while this year It IL
$50. This is decline Of approx
mately "a per cent.
Iowa is the state having the high
est price Of plowland per acre. The
report shows that It is valued at 5000
this year, as compared with 1919
last year-a decline Of about per
cent. Illinois ranks second in the
value Of plowland, according to the
report, the price per acre being
$157. In Alabama and Mississippi
the average price Of plowland per
acre Is 500. The western states
show the least decline in prices Of
land, and In the case Of California.
Oregon and Colorado there is a slight
increase over last year. Plowland In
California was valued at $3.50 per
acre last year, while this year the
average is $135.
Hasn't Lost All Of Increase
The report shows that there was
a rapid increase in the price Of land
from 1917 to 1920, when the high
est price was reached. The decline
during the past year is not as great
as the increase from 1919 to 1920.
Land prices are still higher than any
year preceding 1920.
