The publishing house of Gyldendal
at Copenhagen has recently awarded
to j. Anker Larsen a prize of 10000
kroner (about $12,3Oo) for the best
novel offered by a Danish or Nor
wegian author. The novel receiving
the prize is entitled THE Philoso-
piers Stone" and an American edi-
ton is to be published during the
winter. The motive or the novel seems
to be to show that the religious spirit
or sspiration is as dominant in human
beings as physical hunger. The longing
for religious knowledge and for the re-
lating Of self with the unseen world
leads Jens Dahl, the dreamer, through
devious paths of experience to tragic
end.

while in this section that he learned
his brother was surrounded by hos
tile redskins on the road between
Bryan and the Black Hills. Loading
up with ammunition, Mcguire mount
ed his horse and made an all-night
ride, arriving at the camp of his
brother before daylight. He rustled
up the mules that were grazing near
by and tied them to the wagon. built
a barricade of flour sacks and was
prepared for action when the first
Indian appeared on the horizon. He
was getting ready to shoot when his
brother awoke. Becoming excited,
the latter pinioned Maguire's arms
while the Indians poured a fusillade
into the camp. Later they rode away
and it was not until years later that
Mcguire learned that the lives of his
brother and himself had been spared
only because of the redmen's belief
that they were crazy. An Indian con-
siders it unlucky to kill demented
person.
We next find him in deadly feud
with Harry ''Trantla' Brown. the

notches on his gun. Mcguire had
been given notice to leave town or
forfeit his life. He did neither. The

That cold may turn into Flu,

unless you take care of it at once.
Rub good old Musterole on the
congested parts and see how quickly
it brings relief.
Colds are merely congestion. Mus
terole, made from pure oil of must
ard, camphor, menthol and other
simple ingredients, is a counter-irri-
tant which stimulates circulation and
helps break up the cold.
AS effective as the messy old mus
tard plaster, does the work without
blister.
Just rub it on with your finger
tips. You will feel warm Jingle as
it enters the pores, then cooling

The period between the Crimean

Duane at Malta and Gibraltar. Dis
charged in 1863, the veteran turned
to America. Failing to find what he
wanted in the east, he set his face
to the west, arriving In Montana in
1854. He was at Virginia City when
that camp was at the height of it's
activities; at Silver Bow in 1865 and
at various other Montana mining
camps until 1877, when he returned
to Butte. Turning from mining to
gardening, Duane supplied the miners
of the swaddling camp with vegeta-
bles for five years. In the early sos

tinued to raise vegetables until adj

1,493,712 visitors. For automobile
use the existing park roads are in
many instances too narrow for safe
driving, contain too much adverse
grade, and particularly have not the
base to withstand the continuous and
severe pounding of modern high-pow-
cred motor vehicle travel. With the
exception of about IL miles of pave
ment in two of the parks, there are
no hard surfaced roads in the system,
and hard surfacing is imperative. In
trying to maintain the roads in at
least traversable condition unusually
heavy maintenance charges have re-
suited, and in fact in several of the
parks reconstruction of existing roads
would be less expensive than to con-
tinue the annual maintenance and re-
pair charges.
Much Criticism
The national parks of the country
are the lodestones of travel - they
draw travel as nothing else does
and yet under existing conditions,
when the people of the United States
have accepted the invitation of the
government to visit these superb
scenic reservations they encounter
such poor roads that severe criticism
results. This criticism is considered
we'll merited by the visitors because
it is the policy of the government to
exact an automobile license fee for
use of the roads in most of the major
parks where there is a large road
mileage. Revenues from automobile
license fees alone amounted to $685.
S62 in 1922 and $3S5,687.50 in 1928.

sunk it in mines in Utah and Nevada.
After going broke he went back to his
mules and freight wagons. His head

Rode Pony Express

| Like Ward and Duane, Mcguire
early got into the game that brings
Iplenty of adventure, some measure
of fame, but very little of comfort
and ease at the end of the trail He
was born at Barry, Ontario, Canada,
in 1912, and at the age of seven he
found himself on the trail to Adell,
Iowa, then on the frontier. Before
preaching his seventeenth year he had
driven team of oxen across the
plains to Denver. Before he was 20
he was regularly employed as a stage
driver and later as a hunter for the
Overland company. 1t was while en-
gagged in the latter occupation that
he met Buffalo Bill, both of the same
| age. He is one of the men who can
mentally picture the great herds of
buffalo and antelope that roamed the
plains three score years ago. Be-
tween times as a buffalo hunter he
acted as stage driver or pony-ex-
press rider. The pony express was
only in operation one year, but Ma
guire did his trick with the rest.
In 1863 his knowledge of horses
and cattle won for him the superin-
tendency CT the stage company herds
with headquarters at the Sand Hill
station. During his tenure at the
station he went through Colorado
winter in which cattle, huddled in
herds for protection, were frozen by
the hundreds. And after this came
rumblings of the Indian wars that
made the west the Mecca for adven-
turers. The first outbreak came while
he was on a visit to his relatives in
the east, but the call of the west was
too strong, and Mcguire again head
ed toward the land of the setting sun.
This time he came out as a contractor
on the Union Pacific From 1854,
when he joined the railroad crews at |
