and the .gangling nature of her

VERY near the surface of Johns
consciousness. Cornelia's mental
precocity further lowered her in
the boys estimation. When she
oustripped all the members of her
class in high school, he hated her
the more.
John Watson's mother had al
ways wanted him to marry Cor
nelia, and that. of course, was very
good cause for Johns wanting to
DO nothing of the kind. Cornelia's
wealth and social position--and
not her appearance-constituted
the reasons for Mrs. Watson's in

two years to study abroad, Cornelia
had come back. John knew that
the issue had to be faced.

Then his mother swooped down
upon him. a corps of workmen

majestically. ''The electricians

John stretched himself like a

carelessness

Cornelia has always been rather

Sorbonne.
They tell me, too. that she's
had a book of verse published.
Still Cornelia was always in love
with you. Jack"
The boy nodded complacently.
There was no use denying the OBJ
vious. In school had he ever
looked up without finding those
colorless gray eyes looking upon
him adoringly? In games had Cor.

CUT In
WYOMING In 1926

A total of 10000, 900 board feet
of timber was cut on the national
forests of Wyoming during the
calendar e a 1925. This includes
work done on both large scales for
commercial purposes and small
sales at cost which are made by
the Forest Service as an accomoda-
ton to local settlers. This rep
resents an industry of Importance
in Wyoming, one which is perman-
emit and one which is capable of
great expasion without the sacri-
flee of permanence, according to
supervisor Langworthy. In fact this
cut can be increased about five
times without exceeding the annual
increase in the timber volume of
these forests due to natural growth
The receipts from this timber
cut, returned to the state of Wyom-
ing in cash at the end of the year
about $4,000 in addition to some
$4,000 which were appropriated
from these receipts for expendi-
ture by the Forest Service on roads
and trails. These revenues are en-
tirely separate from the large
special road appropriation mode by
the United States government fol-
expenditure through the Forest Ser
vice. Timber in the amount o
approximately 80, 000,000 has beer
| sold during the past veal part o
!, which will o be cut until mex
