Mrs. James. II don't wonder you
can't bear to let me have 1t, Mr.
Hicks"
"Oh, thatll be all right. marm," re-
sponded Silas cheerily.
An elemental hatred for the gobbler
had come to all his heart. Christmas
was at hand. He pictured how. on the
moryuw, he would grab the bird, he
would insult Il with all the turkey
abuse that he had picked up from 1t;
then Il should die slowly. as he would
like John to die.
On Christmas morning he found a
letter from an unknown correspondent
in the city. Opening It, he read that
his brother John was dead.
John had left forty thousand dollars,
half Of which was to 60 to Silas. "in
memory Of our boyhood times together,
and In the hope that any Ill feeling,
II II existed, has long ago been can
celed."
Silas stared at the letter. His eyes
grew misty. He saw John again as a
little boy upon the farm; his heart
went out TO him across the years.

Teachers Charter
Plane for Trip to
Gillette Ranch

GILLETTE, wyo., Aug. 1.-TWO
teachers in the branch summer school
In Gillette. Miss Vera Hummer and
Miss Olive Carter had the novel ex.
perience OF going visiting in an air
plano yesterday afternoon.
When an a~irplane. piloted by a man
mi Turner, OF Shelby. Mont, came
to town to give passengers a ride, the
young ladies decided they would like
to visit Miss Runners parents on a
ranch about 30 miles east of Gillette.
SO they chartered the plano and set
out Tor the ranch. Although the
country was new to the pilot, he had
no difficulty in finding the way. as
Miss Hummer recognized landmarks
so clearly that a landing was made in
the ranch yard. Miss Hummer will
teach in the schools at Thermopolis
next year. and Miss Carter will be
head of the art department at Ration.
