Wall Street is determined m Hill

Wall Street is determined to kill
the adjusted compensation bill at any
cost, according to a report sent by
New York state executives of the
American Legion to national head
quarters at Indianapolis, Ind. The re-
port states that mandatory orders
were issued by at least one large stock
exchange house, ordering employees,
both men and women, to write their
Congressman urging against the pass
age of the measure. Suggested forms
were handed out, and employees were
instructed to deliver their letters in
u~nsealed envelopes to their employers
for inspection.
Lined up with Wall Street against
the bonus is the U. S. Chamber of
Commerce, which, however, is meeting
continued opposition from it's consti-
tuent chambers in widely separate
parts Of the country. Chambers in
Omaha, Neb., in Battle Creek, Mich,
and in several cities in Oklahoma and
Ohio have nov fatty declared in favor
of the bonus in the QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the national body. In Toledo,
following a hearing by the American
Legion, business men Of the local'com-
merce board refused to vote on the
matter, charging that the issue had
not been impartially presented by the
U. S. Chamber. They said that it
had ignored three of the five options.
II think that l am 80 years of age.
I am five feet nine, and weigh 100
pounds. My eyes are gray and l have
blond hair. I believe I was a soldier.
If anyone can tell me who I am or
anything about my past, please tele-
phone the police"
This is what a clean-cut young man
told attendants in a Los Angeles, Cal,
hospital. He wore an American Le-
gion button, and Los Angeles posts
of the Legion are helping him find
himself.
Failing in his attempt to commit
suicide by freezing in snow-drift at
Emporia, Kan, Chester Hagerman,
jobless war veteran, is being sought
by the American Legion. A woman
of Medicine Lodge says her son, who
bore that name, was reported "killed
in action" and a body, supposed to
have been his, brought from France
for burial here.
Lined up patiently for hours in ad-
vance, hundreds of tattered ex-soldiers
received shoes, overcoats, and child
ren's garments from the American L.
gion distributing committee in New
York.

Writing Contest

In connection with that state basket
ball tournament at Bozeman there is
held each year an Expemporaneous

Special Typewriting Awards

Miss Zeunert in the Commercial De-
partment of the High School has con-
Quoted a contest in speed in typewrit-
ing during the past few weeks. AS

National Week of Song.

a contest in essay writing on the SUBJ
ject of Music was conducted the past
week. In this contest the winner a.
mong the two upper high school class
es was Frances Foffman, among the
two lower high school classes was
Margaret Klein, and among the eighth
grade students was Grace Cain.
The winning essay of the first
group, written by Frances Hoffman
is published herewith:
WHAT MUSIC DOES
Music is the language of the soul.
The composer and the player put every
emotion and feeling in the music they
play and compose. A we'll rendered
piece has the every soul Of the player
exposed in every note of it. A lover
OF music forgets himself and his sur
roundings and lives right in the COM
position much as an actor lives his
part in a play; and like the actor must
feel the emotion that music arouses
and live the part he is endeavoring
to portray.
Life without music would indeed be
dreary. Every nation, every people,
however uncivilized, barbarous and
uncultured they are, have some kind of
music. OF course, it is very much diff
ferent from ours, but nevertheless, it
is the music of that people, and means
as much to them as ours does to us.
VIZ cannot live without music of
somekind, and are provided with it
by nature. The birds are our musi-
clans and songsters; what can COM
pare to the song of a tiny bird who
pours his joy into the world for our
benefit. A singer cannot be more
highly complimented than to say her
voice is as sweet as a birds.
Since the earliest times, there have
been m"e'"ianS In frh a wo read of
the musicians who moved the trees and
stores with their music. instruments
upon which to play, have been used
since the beginning Of history; the
first of these being the reed which an
old Greek demi-god plucked from the
yer bank and played upon. Gradu-
ally other instruments have been made
and perfected, so that now, there are
all kinds, and all sounds a be pro-
duced and initiated almost perfectly.
|. When a person is happy you often
hear them sing. Song and music are
an expression of joy and contentment,
as well as a balm to the heart of the
sad. What great influence music has
upon the people of the world as it
IS such a recreation from the hard
work of the day. 1t is said that the
most savage and uncivilized men and
beasts have been quoted and trans
formed by music.
For recreation and amusement,
music is always essential. How lone
some n silent it seems without some
kind' to while away the long hours.
1t is an indispensable companion to

CHARGER xxVH

Bruce stood as if entranced, gazing
with awed face at the flaming tree.
There was little danger of the house
itself catching fire The wind blew
the flame in the opposite direction :;
besides, the rains were beating on the
roof. The fire in the great tree itself,
however, was too well started to be
extinguished at once by any kind of
rainfall; but it did burn with less
fierceneSS.
Dimly he felt the girls hand grasp
ing at his arm. Her fingers pressed
until he felt pain. His eyes lowered
to hers. The sight of that passion
drawn face-recalling in an instant the
scene beside the camp fire his first
night at Trails End-called him to
himself. "Shoot, you fool" she
stormed at him. "Tha trees lighted up
the whole countryside, and you can't
miss. Shoot them before they run
away"
He glanced quickly out. The clan
that had drawn within sixty yards Of
the house at the time the lightning
struck had been thrown into confusion.
Their horses had been knocked down
by the force of the bolt and were flee-
ing, riderless, away. The men followed
them, shoutinG plainly revealed in the
light from the burning tree. The great

so tall, so wSe-in moment broken

His eyes blazed, and he caught her
hands in his
"A was a symbol, Linda, not only
of the wilderness, but of powers higher
and greater than the wilderness.
Powers that can look down, and not
be swept away by passion, and not
try to tear to pieces those who in their
folly harm them. There's no room for
such things as vengeance in this new
strength There's no room for mur-
der. and malice, and hatred and blood
she'd"
Linda understood. She knew that this
new-found strength did not mean re-
uunciation of her cause. 1t did not mean
that he would give over his attempt
to reinstate her as the owner of her
fathers estates. 1t only meant that the
impulse of personal vengeance was
dead within him. He knew now-the
same as ever-that the duty of the
men that dwell upon the earth is to do
their allotted tasks, and without hatred
and without passion to overcome the
difficulties that stand in the way She
realized that if one of the Turner's
should leap through the door and at
tack her, Bruce would kill him without
mercy or regret. Sne knew that he
would make every effort to bring the
offenders to the law. But the ability
to shoot a fleeing enemy in the back,
because. of wrongs done long ago, was
past.
Bruce'S vision had come to him. He
knew that if vengeance had been the
creed of the powers that ruled the
world. the sphere would have been de-
stroyed with fire long since. To stand
firm and straight and unflinching; not
to Judge, not to condemn, not to re,
sent; this was true strength.

"Pernp>." he nodded. And pos
sibly il is only-worship."
The Turner's had gone. The dim
ming lightning revealed the entire at
tacking party half a mile distant and
! out of rifle range on the ridge; and
Bruce and Linda stole together out
! into the storm
! The green foliage of the tree had
already burned away, but some Of the
upper branches still glowed against
! the dark sky. A fallen branch smol-
/ dered on the ground, kissing in The
rain, and it lighted their way.
Awed and mystified, Bruce halted
/ before the ruin of the great tree. He
had almost forgotten the stress of the
moment just passed. 1t did not even
occur to him that some of his enemies,
unseen before, might still be lurking
in the shadow, watching for a chance

/ silence. Then Bruce uttered one little
/ gasp and stretched his arm into, the

revealed.
The light from a burning branch be-
! hind him had shown him a small, dark
object that had evidently been inserted
! in the hollow tree trunk through some
| little aperture that had either since
! been closed up or they had never OBJ
served. 1t was a leathern wallet, and
Bruce opened it under Linda's startled
! gaze He drew out a single white
paper.

glance swept down Its lines of faded

was scarcely less duration than the
flash of lightning. A red flame sud
denly leaped into the air, roared and
grew and spread as if scattered by the
wind itself. And Bruce'S breath caught
in a sob of wonder.
The Sentinel Pine, that ancient
friend and counselor that stood not
over one hundred feet from the house,
had been struck by lightning bolt,
its trunk had been cleft open as if by
a giants AK, and the flame was already
springing> through its balsam-laden
branches.

While There's Time"
ard-you traitor Kill-kill-kill them
while there's time"
She saw the resolve in his face, and
she snatched the rifle from his hands.
She hurled it to her shoulder and three
times fired blindly toward the retreat
ing Turner's.
At that instant Bruce seemed to
come to life. His thoughts had been
clear ever since the tree had been
struck; his vision was straighter and
more far-reaching than ever in his life
before, but now his muscles weakened,
too He Sprang toward the girl and
Snatched the rifle from her hand. She
fought for it, and he held her with a
strong arm.
"Wait-Wait, Linda" he said gently.
you've wasted three cartridges now.
There are only two left. And we may
need them some other time"
He held her from him with his arm !;
and it was as if his strength flowed
into her. Her blazing eyes sought
his, and for long second their wills
battled. And then deep wonder
seemed to come over her.
What is it?" she breathe9. "What
have you found out?'
She spoke in a strange and distant
voice. Slowly the fire died In her eyes,
the drawn features relaxed, her hands
fell at her side He drew her away
from the lighted doorway, out OF the
range of any of the Turner's that
should turn to answer the rifle fire.
The wind roared over the house and
swept by in clalnoring fury, the cleo
trio storm dimmed and lessened as it
journeyed on.
These two knew that If death spared
them in all the long passage of their
years, they could never forget that mo
ment. The girl watched him breath
lessly. oblivious to all things else. He
seemed wholly unaware of her now.
There was something aloof, impassive,
infinitely calm about him, and great,
far-reaching understanding was in his
eyes. Her own eyes suddenly filled
with tears.
LINDA, there's something come to

It's something that the plne-that

time. Oh, can't you see, Linda? There

ink. Then he looked up with brighten
ing eyes.
What is it?" she asked.
THE secret agreement between your
father and mine" he told her simply
"And we've won"
He watched her eyes brighten. It
seemed to him that nothing life had
ever offered had given him the same
pleasure. 1t was moment of triumph.
But before half of it's long seconds
were gone, 1t became a moment Of
despair.
A rife spoke from the coverts be-
yond-one sharp, angry note that rose
distinct and penetrating above the
noise of the distant thunder. A little
tongue of fire darted, like snakes
