"Old Man Cameron, he warn't so
mean with men, that way. Take him
in the bank, and though he was in the
opposition concern, l can say that |
never heard a man say an unkind
thing Of him, and that's a good deal
for banker. My wife says Mrs.
Cameron told her that there was
times when he would be awful sorry,
and promise to do better, and be as
rational as you or me. But he got
them jealous spells and was a regular
devil, she said. Used to beat her,
guess, though she never said so. One
time-so she told my wife-after one
of his tantrums-that was pretty near
the end-he had went down to Gin
clnnati, and while he was gone, she
made up her mind to leave him. When
he came home, he wanted to be sugar

when he was down to Cincinnati he

was the first time he had ever done
anything of the kind, and when she
was getting supper for him, she told
my wife, he set the table with the new
things, and put the trinkets at her
place, and the sacque in her chair, ard
then called her to see it. She come in
and shook her head, and turned to the
kitchen door without a word. And she

'TwOuldn't "a been six months before
old man Cameron would "a been up
to his old tricks again. She knew
that then, just as well as | know 1t
now. But he was so big and strong,
and l suppose he was tender, too,
when he felt like it. But that was a
mighty brave thing to do, and l
shouldn't wonder If she cried that
night for the first time in years-he'd
hardened her that way, you know,
for so long before"
There was no one with a voice to
speak, when the old man paused, so
he sighed and continued: "And now
she's going to get married, Ell? WnO's
the fellow?"
Morrison was the first to speak. "a
man named Byers, of Denver" he
said. Did you know her after she
came down here, Mr.. Martini
"Only little; she was trying to
learn to be a trained nurse or some
thing; used to see her at the theater,
with young fellows from the club.
She came back to Baxter, now and
then. Wife saw her there, and said
she appeared to be cheerful. And the
old ladies were licked to death to see
her. Made up a tea-party for her,
about six months ago, when my wife
and she happened to be back together
at the same time, and my wife said
they, every one of them old people
made over her like she was their own
child, and she did seem to be so happy.
what about the wolves. Harris! Tell
me-" said the elder man as he lighted
a cigar and looked grimly at the
charred match before throwing it
away.
There isn't much to tell. I guess.
If every man would only tell what he
knows himself, there would be blame
little. But as every other man tells
what he thinks lot of other fellows
know-it's the old story, and a good
deal too long. The chief trouble with
wolves, yon know, is their noise"

and tripped, rather than walked,
along. One would have said that she
was very happy as she passed.
"Me? Oh, yes, knew Mrs. Cameron
when she was a little girl" said the
elder man. "She came from my town
down in Baxter. Say, how is she
making it here? l haven't seen her
for going on two years nOw-twO
years next December, think" unused
the banker. The two young fellows
looked quizzically at the old man, and
then at each other. Then Harris shook
his head and the short fat, little man
nodded back. They were satisfied that
the old man was telling the truth.
"Well," began Jimmy, "she wasn't
cut out for a vagabond, and she
hasn't been making it very well,
l guess"
whats the matter?" said the old
man, who did not grasp the young
fellows meaning.
well, Mr.. Martin, if you care to
know, it's nothing more unusual than
wolves" replied Harris, as he swung
his feet over the arm of the chair
"just plain, old-fashiOned wolves. But
I'm mighty glad she is going to break
for shelter. Pm mighty glad for her
Harris added in broken sentences.
"Who's the fellow, jimmy" he asked
moment later.
"Byers," put in Jimmy, in answer to
Harris question, as Martin rubbed his
chin, and pulled up chair to sit
down and get the idea firmly fixed in
his mind.
Going to get married" continued
the old banker, thinking aloud. "Well,

Clipped in Harris.
"Sheep-buyer for a packing house,

and put his hands back of his head as
a pillow for q moment.
Something like that" said Jimmy
Anyway, he looks like an honest fell
low. Somebody ought to tell him
about Cameron. It's tough to see him
going into this thing-like an OK to

After an abashed silence Martin
walked slowly away from the two
friends. Each one thought, for an In.

lighted up by the warm glow Of the
CRATE fire. Each knew the story as
the old man had told 1t. Each thought
of the way he had heard it. It was

walked away with his hands behind
him, when Harris spoke:

said.

WORK WITH Definite OBJECT
Real Estate Men Have Right Idea In
Their Advocacy of Zoning Sys-
TEN for Cities.

The value and the stability of real
estate depends upon what? Mostly
upon the skill with which it is subdi-
vided; upon the transportation facili-
ties, the utilities and the street system
which serve it; upon the parks and
recreation facilities available to it. up
on its outlook upon the business and
social wealth, and producing capacity
to the community; and upon the pro-
lection given it against offensive use
Of neighboring property, says Jacob L.
Crane Jr., ZOning and city planning
engineer and adviser on zoning for the
Chicago Real Estate board.
The last of these factors is con-
trolled by zoning All the others may
be controlled very largely by city plan
ming, which deals with all of these
things in a definite and comprehensive
way. The real estate business, there
fore, like all other business, to a large
degree depends on the results of city
planning, whenever It is taken up
This explains why real estate men are

why they are usually the first ones to

Aim to Prevent Fire Loss.

Let the city fire department be as
efficient as is that Of the district.
There still remains much for the av-
erage citizen to do in preventing fire
After all, prevention is better than
cure in this matter, as in all others.
Even as modern medicine is coming
around to a serious campaign through
out the nation to prevent illness, rath-
err than cure it after it occurs, so a
city may campaign strenuOusly to pre-
vent fires before they break out.
The responsibility of the individual
man, woman or child, therefore, is the
crux of the matter. Until, through ed
ucating the public in every way pos
sible to the necessity of such proven
tion, the average person is made to be
always on the watch for incipient
fires and actively thinking about them
a community is not true to itself along
these lines.
What greater absurdity, for in
stance, than allowing a carelessly
thrown match to set fire to a great
building and then calling out half the
fire-fighting equipment Of city, when
the active thought of the man who
threw the match might have prevent
ed the whole thing Washington

It almost goes without saying that
home ownership is by far the most
valuable adjunct to government and
that the former is tremendous power
in stabilizing the latter. The nomad

wherever he pitches his tent he con-
siders himself to be at home. On the

be the last thing he would wish to see

which has been used before this by
many writer's, Is that Of Alexander's
conquest of Persia; this country was
a constant source of Civil war and
rebellion until, acting upon the advice
of one Of the philosophers attached
to his court, Alexander saw to it that
the Persians became nation of shop
keepers, which in turn caused them to
set up permanent dwellings and ulti-
