She turned from him.
"Stay!" said the Man, bending over
her.
But Della was gone, running down
10 the shore, where her FRIENDS were
searching, calling for her.
They rallied her on the way home.
Where had she been? Why did she
look like that? Della was silent.
But in the tent that night she acted
as never before. Some inhibition had
broken in her, something that had held
her down through all those years of
struggle.
She knew now that the most price
less gift of life had been vouchsafed
to her, and that never again would
she know doubt or loneliness
Frantic applause followed the fall
ing Of the curtain. Della, standing
alone outside the tent, heard her name
called tumultuously.

In the boat sat the Man.
Come said the Man.
He stood in the moonbeams, hold

She heard him whisper.
Within the tent the shouting was in
creaslng. And suddenly it all seemed
a symbol to heron the one side that
success which she knew now was hers
at last; on the other the gift of love.

The boat dwindled to distant speck
upon the water. In it sat two persons,
immeasurably contented. They had

When They Found

THE Man heard the party laugh.
= ing through the palmetto trees and
swore. In the nine months that he
had resided on the quay he h>I been In
solitude.
He was no misanthrope, only a
writer. He was writing wonderful
book, a book which contained all the
beauty in all the world. In year,
when it was finished, lie was going
back TO the world of men.
To write this book ne needed only
two things-love and solitude. as
yet the love had not come to him, and
so the book was incomplete; but he
had the solitude of the waves and
starry nights, in the palmetto-woad
cabin that he had built. He was
very happy there, two miles across
the waters from the Gulf settlement.
Then the party came to camp ON
the island and picnic there 1t was a
company of strolling players, whose
tent was set up on the sands near the
hotel opposite. They were very happy,
merry. rather Intoxicated by the warm
sunlight and perhaps something
stronger.
Della. the ingenue, wandered away
from them. She had suddenly lost her
happiness. She remembered days
when her ambitions had scared high,
days, too, when she had dreamed Of
a home and wifehood. Now this ex-
otic, rowing life had suddenly begun
to pail on her

BOOM IN BUILDING

Forester A. L. Richey states that
from applications received for timber
in the Holy Cross forest it looks very
much as though we were about due
for boom in the building industry.
He has just received an application for
3S,000,0O0 feet Of timber to be taken
from the forest in the Red Cliff sec
ton. This will prove the largest in
dividual sale which this forest has ever
authorized.
Another buyer lis on the market for
100000 railroad ties and will purchase
them as soon as he can find men to
get them out.
J. M. Valley and five rangers of the
White River forest are in the Burns
Hole district this week and made an
estimate that there is .15, 900 900 feet
of timber in that section. The forest
has several applications and expects to
advertise and offer this timber for sale
soon. This forest has also had appli-
cation for 100000 feet of timber in a
tract near Yampah.

SENIORS PRESENT
The CHARM SCHOOL

Last Thursday and Friday evenings
the senior class of the Garfield County
H gh school presented TO well filled
houses at the Orpheum theater their an
nual class play, 'The Charm School,"
and tho entertainment was very inter-
esting from start to finish, and reflect
ed great credit on the seniors, as well
as their teacher, Miss Marie Hine, un.
der whose direction the play was given.
The clever deliniations of college life
were well rendered, the cast was well
selected, and there was an ease and
confidence on the part of the players
that was most commendable indeed.
So well were the parts taken by nll the
players, that individual mention would
be out of place, and it is enough to say
that each member performed well his
part.
The young folks greatly enjoyed the
experience, and feel well repaid for the
effort, and are also well pleased with
dhe patronage accorded them and the
consequent financial returns.

MRS. RIoMY BREATHEs LAST

Mrs. ]. G. Rigney, who had been a
patient sufferer for so many years,
quietly slipped out of this life last
Friday night at 11:55 O'Clock. AL
though she did not appear any worse
than she had been a few weeks ago,
she was gradually growing weaker, and
soon after eleven O'Clock she called
her family together and told them she
believed it was the last and with eyes
cast heavenward she passed into the
great beyond.
Duella Pribble was born at Milford,
Indiana, the fourth day of March,
1870. She united with the Christian
church on March 13, 1887, and on
November 1s, 1899, was united in mar
riage to John Calhoun Rigney. To this
union three children were born, John
c.. Phil T. and Helen. M.
The Rigneys came to Glenwood
Springs in 1910 for Mrs. Rigney's
health, which was improved and her
life was probably greatly lengthened
by the move from the east.

SPLIT PAYMENT FOR sTooKMEN

AS result of conference of forest
officials and stockmen recently held at
Salt Lake City is is now permissible
for stockmen to pay their grazing fees
in two payments.
All regular permits may be paid at
two payments, one-half the amount in
advance and the remaining one-half on
December first. All temporary permits
and all permits amounting to less than
ten dollars are to be paid in advance.
If stockman has both regular and
temporary permits he pays all the tenn
porary in advance and the regular at
two payments, provided it is more than
ten dollars.
This is great advantage to the
stockmen and will probably be a perma.
nent matter.

RETURNS FROM CALIFORNIA

c. II. Harris returned home tn s week
from California, where he had been in
the interest of the Glenwood Mining
& Leasing company, with placers To-
Gated on the Colorado river. Mr.. Har-
ris had taken, samples of gold and
silver which were tested in a machine
which separates the ore from the sand
without losing particle of the valua-
BILE ore.
Mr.. Harris states that work will be
begun on the placers as soon as the
weather will permit and he plans put
ting in a machine to extract the gold.
Mr.. Harris states that while he was in
California n test was brought m from
Oregon, which is considered great
placer territory, but the gravel taken
from a certain amount of land there
averaged just half ~ much sand a.
that taken from Mr.. Harris claim. All
in all the outlook is very encouraging

ROTARY PLOw MAY
KEEP PASS OPEN

The time is not far distant when
automobile travel across the continental
divide every month in the year will be-
come reality, says the Florence Citi-
zen Workers upon design prepared
by Major l.. D. Blauvelt, state highway
engineer, mechanics in the state high
way department repair shops have
constructed a rotary snow plow which
in the opinion of highway officials will
solve the problem of travelling through
the. mountains during the winter
months.
The first working model of the plow
was tested out by highway department
employees on the highway between
Greenland and Palmer Lake, in, Doug
las county. The test was a Thorough
one and demonstrated that the plow is
capable of doing the work for which it
was designed; clear the roads of snow
drifts from four to six feet deep.
The plow, generally speaking IS a
small edition Of the typical rotsxy snow
plow used by the railroads to clear
their tracks of snow. Power to rotate
the fan is furnished by powerful
Continental motor while the power re-
quired to push the plow through the
drifts is furnished by n ten-ton Holt
caterpillar tractor. The ploN was built
from material taken from scrnppod
trucks and other war material furnished
the state by the United States govern
ment. Every bit of the work was done
by the highway department mechanics.
The rotating fan is about ten feet In
diameter and revolves with terrific
speed. When in motion the plow ate its
way through drifts five feet deep as II
there had not been any obstruction
whatever. Snow was hurled over tho
telephone and telegraph wires strung
along the roa,.
The test showed the plow fully capa-
BILE Of doing the work for which it was
built. Some defects were uncovered by
the test but there are Of minor chae-
meter and can easily be remedied. Fur
ther tests will be made during the 70
mainder Of the winter and II they, too,
prove satisfactory, the highway de-
partment will probably build several

SPRING IS HERE
AND NO MISTAKE

That spring is here is amply attested
by the fact that the Glenwood baseball
fans have organized a team with Carl
Fulghum as the manager, and activi-
ties have already been started, looking
TO a series of the national game during
the coming summer.
Carl is an enthusiast along the line
of athletics and especially fond Of
baseball, and his experience in coach
ing while pursuing his studies in the
University of Colorado makes him es-
pecially fitted for the job he has un-
dertaken-that of giving Glenwood a
base ball team worth while.
Just when the team will be whipped
into shape and practice started, pre-
liminary to the summer games, Mr..
Fulghum is not certain, but he says
this nice weather ts sure bringing up
the fever. All right, boys, let's go.

Western Slope Democrat
Ambitious to Succeed Late
Senator Sam Nicholson
ARE OTHER Asp|RANTs

The Grand Junction News claims to
have information to the effect that our
townsman, Congressman Edward 7
Taylor, is ambitious to fill the shoes
of the late Samuel d. Nichols"n,
most worthy ambition, indee1. No
dougt there will be numerous aspirants
for the position made vacant by the-un-
timely death of Senator Nicholson, but
Governor Sweet, with whom rests the
appointive power, has not yet indicated
which applicant he will favor. Th.
News article is as follows:
1t has been announced that Congress-
man Edward T. Taylor has sent mes
sage to this city announcing that he
will seek the appointment to fill the
Colorado junior senatorship, mad, Va
cant by the recent death of Scra,or
s. d. Nicholson. 1t is thoughs that
should Western Slope man receive
the consideration of Governor Swea. IN
making the appointment, Mr.. Taylor
would undoubtedly receive very strong
endorsement from Western Slope Demo-
Gratis.
Should this come to pass, speculation
would then center on who would take
Congressman Taylor's place. The cleo
ton laws of the state provide in the
case of vacancy of congressman, the
governor shall set a date on which a
special election shall be called for that
purpose. In this event, in the present
case, suggestions have been made as
to who will seek candidacy in special
election. The name of Walter Walker
has been called to attention quite often,
especially since he states he will not
stand in the way of Congressman Tay-
lor. Mr.. Walker has been an ardent
admirer of the congressman as well as
his staunch supporter and it is believed
the Democratic editor would be willing
to step into Eds shoes
another name heard is that of Merle
d. Vincent, who for several elections
has campaigned in his own behalf for
this prominent political position. He
would, of course, enter the race as n
Republican. There probably would be
other candidates from other parts of
the slope cast their hats into the ring,
both Democrats and Republicans.
