was a breach of trust in which they
were jointly liable. 1t was not merely
a theft, it was a gross, dastardly

his spirit, 1t destroyed his generous

student in college and promised to go
far in the law; but he felt keenly the
dishonor The financial part of it he
of course took care of; that was the
least of it. There was always a strain
of mysticism in him; and he had gone
deeply into astrology and things like
that; and when the dark hour came
he pretended to find consolation III

This is all too wonderful to be

Archie was beset with many fears
as he waited the arrival of Mrs. Gray
bill His utter ignorance of any de-
tails touching the life OF his friend
seemed now to rise before him like
a fog which he was afraid to pene-
trate. And there was Ruth, with her
happiness hanging in the balance;
she was in love with a man of whom
she knew nothing; indeed the mys-
terry that embodied him was a part OF
his fascination for her, no doubt; and
if in the Governors past life there was
anything that made marriage with
young woman of Ruth's tineness ana
sweetness hazardous, the sooner 1t
was known the better. But when he
caught a glimpse of Mrs. Graybill in
the vestibule of the train his appre-
tensions vanished. The poise, the Sc
renity of temper, an unquestioning ac-
ceptance of the fate that played upon
her life, which he had felt at their
first meeting struck him anew.
Our patient is doing well. The
news is all good" he said at once.

Putney and his wife had moved to
Heart o. Dreams for a few days. 1t
would be a second honeymoon, Putney
said. Mrs. Graybill was introduced in
to the hotel without embarrassment.
She won DR.. Reynolds heart by the
brevity of her questions, and express
ed her satisfaction with everything
that had been done. When she came
down to the dining-room she avoided
all reference to the sick man. In her
way she was as remarkable as the
Governor himself.
1--WE never been i'm these parts be-
fore" Julia remarked to Archie. Il
should be glad if you'd show me the
beach. We might take walk little
later"
The hour in which he waited for her
tried his soul. The Governor was the
one man who had ever reused in him
a deep affection and the dread of find
ing that under his flippancy, his half
earnest, half-boyish make-believe de-
votion to the folk of the underworld.

Archie was not permitted to enter
the sick room, but from time to time
he received assurances that the pa

and at intervals DR.. Reynolds recited
with professional brevity data as to
temperature, respiration and the ike.
AT eleven o'clock Archie saw the
Heart o. Dreams launch approaching
and leaving Congdon to answer any
call from the Governors bedside, hur-
ried to meet it.

The obligation to cheer them raised
his own spirits as he explained the ma

they sat ON the hotel veranda. He de-
scribed the fight at the barricade with
reservations, mentioning not at all the
fact that a man had died as the re-
suit. They understood as fully as he
that the whole affair must be suffered
to slip into oblivion as quickly as pos

Writer'S Fine Tribute
to Forest Patriarch

watched some time ago the cut
ing down of an oak. It was huge
tree, an old patriarch among the trees
in the neighbOrhOOd. the kind and
size of tree that is regarded with a
sort of attachment by friends and
strangers. In the lives of those along
the road itA as landmark.
1t wore it's rusty robes with an air
of majesty. 1t possessed distin-
guished appearance on account of age,
and to look at it was to be aware OF
something ancient. The Indian stepped
with mOccasin feet the paths when
it was in infancy, and its last years
saw the automobile, airplane. the
magic things of modern world.
1t went through much in the lease
Of life; it weathered everything, as
an oak should do: but it had to sur
render before the assault of very
small but numerous enemy-the leOp-
ard moth. 1t fought as giant fights
-bravely. 1t lost cOurageously and
gamely, as man loses when over
whelmed with superior numbers. 1t
battled to the end.
1t seems a ruthless act to cut down
a tree. 1t is the taking of life itself.
Such tree enters the very lives of
those who dwell in its shadows, and
1t Is part of their histories And
the more we know of such trees the
more are we convinced they have a
soul, a personality.-Edwin G. Hob

A LITTLE TALK on THRIFT
s-(By S. w. StrauS)

Considerable attention at this time
is being given to the subject of old
age pensions No one can in fairness
say that the hand of helpfulness
should not be extended to those whose
wears are many and whose possessions
are few. Opportunities for employ
ment are not plentiful for such as
these.
Generally speaking, those who have
reached the afternoon of life must de-
pend on charity unless in their young
er years they have been able to ac-
cumulate enough to furnish a living
income While it is right that every
humanitarian consideration should be
given to our aged dependents, these
humane activities should not blind
us to the folly of thriftless habits
during that period of life when We are
able to- earn and save. Even though
society may throw out it's protecting
arms to those who have neglected to
provide for their old age, this assured
slightest degree justify the neglect
of safeguarding ones own future.
To shirk ones duty to ones self
willingly in this regard is to accept
dependence as being quite as desir-
able as independence.
Every individual should rise above
the plane simply of striving to pro-
tect himself against aged pauperism.
His thrift should carry him to the
greatest possible heights of usefulness
and success. He should not be salts
fled with the mere condition of ma
terial independence. Nevertheless,
the very fact that so much attention
today is being given to old age pen
sons shows that many of our citi-
zens have neglected even to care
enough for their own welfare to pro-
vide against the eXigencies of old age.
Let us view with generous and char
table consideration current old age
pension activities, but let us mean
while do all we can to encourage
widespread practices of thrift which
will reduce to the minimum the pos
sibility of old age dependence.

Ii Hung Chang the Buffer

Ii Hung Chang was Chinese
statesman and diplomat born about
1923. Early in life he become noted
as scholar and soon became prOmi
nent in the army by suppressing the
Talping rebellion. His career was
most checkered as he was alternately
raised to the highest rank in power
and degraded and stripped of his hon.
Ors. In 1896 he made tour of the
world and returning home became
even more powerful. His shrewdness
and thrift were his outstanding char
acteriSticS and he was responsible for
much of the progress made by China
during his life. He has often been
called the buffer" between China and
the rest of the world.

Gorilla Pussy About,
His Sleeping Place

The main apparent preOccupatiOn of
the male gorilla is fighting for the con-
tinued possession Of his wives. AS the
family party moves along through the
forest, rarely sleeping twice in the
same spot, there is every night the
business of making beds. For the gOr-
lila has at least this in common with
his human cousins, that he likes and
demands a comfortable sleeping place
and, what is more, he prefers to
make his sleeping arrangements we'll
before darkness falls.
For this purpose paterfamilias bends
down saplings and covers them with
leafy branches. while the members of
his harem, who are sent up neighbor-
ing trees, make each her own bed in
suitable fork by breaking off
branches within her reach. Their
beds are never very high up-never
too high for the old man to be able
to keep his eye upon them. You may
find chimpanzees nesting in the tree
tops but never gorillas.
Once had chance of studying this
proceeding made my camp close to
two parties of gorillas. My own bed
was made in five minutes, but the gOr-
illaS took twenty minutes to finish
theirs to their liking, and probably
were more comfortable than l. They
are certainly very fastidious In this
matter Even when they remain in
the same spot for few days they
make fresh beds every night, some
times even In the same trees as the
night before, but In other fOrks.-Dr.
N. A. Dyce Sharp in the Continental
Edition of the London Daily Mail.

The most costly hat whereof record
can be found was not wOman's hat,
but one presented to General Grant
while he was in Mexico. Fifteen hun.
dred dollars in gold was paid for it.
1t is to be seen in the National mu-
scum at Washington. Besides being
so expensive, it is said to be the fin
est specimen of a Mexican sombrero

Perhaps the next most expensive
hat was that which was presented to
