60 Inc water IN the streams Is as
clear as crystal and we passed
some Of the most beautiful springs
have ever seen. We also crossed
number Of dry streams.
Yesterday and today we have
seen some few pine trees, the
first we have seen since We have
left the ALLEGHENY Mountains. Our
course lay over a mountainous
country while here aud there was
to be seen lofty spreading pin i.
tree The beauties OF the country
are indescrIbable. We had some
very rough road and the day was
warm and hard on our cattle.
This evening there came up a
fine shower Of rain which was
very refreshing to the weary trsv-
elsr.
When we arrived at Cottoa
Wood Geek Lamb, Raymond aud
Paris stopped 10 fish and this
evening they returned with forty
large fish. principally Fresh
Water Herring and Perch.
We passed two fresh graves to.
day, one was a young gentleman'3
and the other a young ladies'. Her
name was Mary Henderson and
her age was six years and five
months. There we're two Cedar
trees planted. one at her head the
other at her feet, which drew my
attention more particularly to this
grave. imagine they were plant
ed there By the hand Of a kind ant
affectionate mother as no one like
such a mother would think OF or
namenting y grave In this manner
in this lone and desolate cowntry.
The hills presented a delightful
appearance being covered with
flowers while the valleys arc COW
cred with wild sage.
At II p. III. Peach and I were
lying In the tent and We heard a
horse coming down the road uL.
der the whip OF the rider, who ap.
pGared to be making the best OF
his time for some purpose. We
supposed he was hunting phySl.
clan or else was riding a stolen
horse.
Grass is good and the day was

But for some reason or another
Ned came home a half hour
earlier than usual that night and
discovered the radiant Helen still

kitchen. She and Bobby had
given the house a good cleaning

Explanations did not take long,

AS a matter OF fact Helen said:

Helen stayed for supper and left

Helen insisted on calling alone
and her brother did not discourage
her, though he wished then that
this little sister Of was OF less
striking type. Even dressed somber-
~ and as quietly as possible. her
golden hair and vivid colorlng
could not but attract attention In
tho probably dlngy neighborhood
where Bobby Greeley lived.
Bobby greeted his big sister at
the door and assured her that she
looked Just the way he had always
thought big sister ought to look.
and within five minutes they had
decided to call each other Bobby
and Helen. Bobby's home consisted
of three rooms. u living room. a
kitchen aud bedroom, on the top
floor OF a shabby but mistakenly
clean tenement. Then Bobby ex.
planned his predicament.
lIo and his big brother Nod had
been bred In country town. Their
father. a country doctor, had died
when Bobby was n baby and Ned
was half grown. Somehow OF other
! their mother had managed 10 bring
them up until a year ago she had
died with the last request that Ned
should become Il doctor. He had at
that time already managed by hard
work to finish college. There were
no funds left. lmpelled By his moth
er's request and his own inclina.

with his young brother. Somehow
he managed outside of hours at

unwhOlesomc existence. attending

Helen was at first shocked at the
idea OF the tcu.year.old boy com
ing in from after school play to
have to prepare supper for himself
aud his brother. but she ended by
! feeling that, after all, Bobby led aS
normal and happy an existence az
any mOtherless hoy could. Certain.
! ly he was better off than we wuld
have been had his big brother con.
scented to send him to boys home
during the uphill years Of his med.
ical study.
"Now, If you really want to be
my big sister," announced Bobby
looking approvlngly at Helen, you
can start right in BY helping me

That was the beginning Of the

attributable to technical speculative

the call loan rate, which rose to s
per cent after noon, due to prenars- =

in the commercial paper and ac-

divisions have held rather firmly, but

since any considerable recovery OF

The recovery has not yet reached a

Of this character pointed out that the
