Feeding in Elk area.

MATURE has way of providing remedy
for the ills she sometimes brings to man
II the opportunities for remedial measures are
seized. There is the case, for instance, of the
elks on the elk reservation near Jackson Wyo
There has been little snow this year In that
region and as a result officials in charge of
the reservation fear that the hay fields will
suffer greatly during the coming Summer
through lack Of water. AS the hay is used for
Winter feeding of the elkS on the reservation
the problem would seem to be serious
The remedy for the lack Of snow paradox
cally, lies in the lack of snow. Because the
Winter was open the elks foraged for them
selves this year in the more remote mountain
sections and displayed complete indifference
to the hay which was spread temptingly in the
usual feeding grounds. AS a result the hay
which was cropped for this year can be held
over for next year if lack of water curtailS this
years cutting.
The open Winter had another effect this
year in that it brought hundreds of tourists in
over the open roads to see the elks in their
natural habitat. They also found out some
thing o. the rigors Of Winter in this area for

Every one could see that, coming out Of his
log OF indifference and mdisturbance Pitt
threw back his thoughts. 1t was no more diff
cult to look into the mechanics of his brain
than those Of an open clock Leigh! The girl
was Leigh, his future wife But in front of the
intelligentsia he forced himself under control
In fact no one had ever seen him so amusing
or so absurd 1t seemed to Leigh and Morden
that the unexpected identification of the
Panglos girl left him, after the first great shock

with as little decent feeling as he had had be-
fore. Was he too far gone? Was his "intelh-
gent" neutrality TO emotion an accomplished
fact?
Later up in her room, Leigh sat for over an
hour watching the lights go out like tired eyes
in the valley far below. Her heart was heavy
and her spirits at zero point. She felt that she
had been an unwilling witness TO the suicide Of
enc who had BEEN when she loved him first,
normal warm-hearted generous and free from

THIS to Morden was CHASTITY and poisonous
creed. The spirit of the age had not got
under his skin. But he realized the absurdity
of argument with the young philosopher" and
let the matter drop. When, however, he looked
at the lovely Leigh Stopford the future Mrs.
Pitt, there was an expression of such rebellious
challenge on her face that the tragic figure Of
trouble seemed already to have arrived. He
liked and was sorry for Pitt. He greatly adj
mired Leigh Stopford. And it happened
Panglos had been his most intimate friend.
There was drama in the fact that he was the
only person present who knew Of what he had
called the beautiful friendship of Panglos and
this girl. During the last few years Of his life
he had shared house with Morden. and 1t was
to the book lined room In which he wrote his
plays that Leigh had slipped unnoticed every
afternoon. In his howery way Panglos had
called her "a faith, reliance, refuge" and
had treated this secret friendship with a sort Of
reverence. It was only now, Morden watched
her and saw that she intended not to say that
she and the beloved Hyacinth were one and the
same, that, reluctant, a query as to the pure
beauty of that friendship hung before his eyes.
Just the inquisitive Christina was about to
fire question Leigh sprang to her feet, ran her
arm through Morden's and with an odd smile
at Pitt went out into the sun. She said, you
are asking yourself why I suppress the fact
that am Hyacinth. You think have some
thing to hide from Jack which had better re-
main untold. But if you imagine that my rela-
tons with Panglos were like those of other
girls, why do you side with me and want to
make Jack human by telling him the truth?
No I'm not a clairvoyant a mind-reader.
have woman's intuition and feel that you're
my friend Answer my question, please"
He said, Jack used to be a friend Of mine
and am devoted to you"
In spite of your suspicions?"
I'm spite Of everything"
She gave him a grateful hand. Il needed
this" she said. 1T brings me TO the cross
roads. I'm not going to marry a man whose
creed heard just without putting him to
the test. If I'm not to be taken seriously I'm
not to be taken at all Before we go to the
altar Jack must face the fact that something
does matter-and that something must be me-"
TT was Christina Vennng who forced the issue
that night. She said, as dinner began look
ing at Morden with sudden cunning smile
Here's the man who can solve this mystery
Here's the who shared a house with
Panglos, knew all his women and, of course
was well acquainted with the beloved Hyacinth."
To Leighs delight and establishment Pitt was
interested. He said, Eyes, come on Morden,
spring it. Tell us who she is"
You know her as well as do. You met her
in my room. The first time you saw her she
wore little blue hat. You wrote a sonnet
about it which was rather nicely done"

All the little clever people round his table
laughed.
II see," said Morden Roden, who was re-
garded as failure by them because his novels
sold, but when trouble stalks into his house
and takes the easy chair, what price your
philosophy them" He put this question because
Christina Venning had just read from that
days paper a paragraph packed as tightly with
trouble as bomb with TINT. In leeringly sug
gestive words it conveyed the news that Panglos,
the notorious woman hunter, had left every
cent of his money to his beloved Hyacinth."
Would Pitt be able to apply to his own case the
art of undisturbance when it was disclosed that
the mysterious legatee was the girl who was to
be his wife?
Pitt replied to Morden's question from the
modernist point of view. Trouble among the
inteHigentsia," he said, has no place Passions,
prejudices, principles and pity, the four old
fashioned ingredients of which trouble is made
up, are quite unknown to us. We regard life as
q mere experiment, fairly amusing adventure,
during which we leave all primitive sensations
to the normal herd We refuse to be made to
feel. Everything serious bores US. Our motto
is: Nothing matters and SO life is as funny as
death, and all want to do is to be witty and
raise laugh"
There was round of applause.

LAST TAX BILLS
To Be MAILED

J. Forrest Walker, treasurer of

that all remaining unmailed tax
bills will be in the mail by Mon
day night, making a total of ap-
proximately $4,000 bills.
Foreseeing that on account of
the financial conditions prevailing
among many property owners of
the county, many defaults in
taxes may be made during the
current fiscal year, thereby Great
ing deficiency in the budget, the
Maryland State assembly, in order
to cure such deficiency, at its 1881
session, passed an act to relieve
the situation.
The act authorizes the board
of county commissioners to pur-
chase any real estate offered at
tax sales at amount not greater
than taxes in arrears, including
interest and expenses of sale,
costs and fees, and to sell or
lease same for the best interests
of the county.
They are further authorized to
issue certificates of Indebtedness
in sums equal to the taxes, with
interest, and expenses of sale on
property so purchased, such certi-
ficateS to be issued for not more

policeman took Mr.. Brown to a

Influence Shows
After the preliminary hearing
in Police Court, Mr.. Brown said,
the police protection which Mos,
tyn had throughout the affair De-
gan to show. He had identified
MoStyn as the man who held him
up, he said, and went to see Ralph
Given, now a judge of Police
Court, who was then assistant
District attorney. While he was
in Given's office, he said, De.
tective John Kane came in with
Mostyn's lawyer. The latter
asked for a reduction of bend
from $4,000 to $1,000, Brown
said, and Given refused.
Kane then spoke up, according
to Brown, declaring:
"Mr. Brown has never iden-
titled him."
GOuged in Ribs
When Brown protested that he
had just identified the man on
the witness stand, Kane is alleged
to have replied, gouging Brown in
the ribs:
"Mr. Given is not talking to
you"
The bond was finally reduced
to $4,000 and MoStyn was re.
leased. Later the Grand Jury
prepared an indictment but re.
considered and the case was
dropped, on the grounds that
Mostyn was defending himself
fron1a an assault by Brown.

WOLFF REFUSES
To HAVE NAME
CONSIDERED
Arlington Group Told That
.Aspirant Does Not Want
To Be Under obligation

Criticism against the action Of
the Better Government League of
Arlington County, an organiza-
tion designed to "impartially en-
dorse four Of the five county
commissioners to be elected in
November" from a field Of some
40 candidates seeking the posts,
was enclosed in a letter mailed
today to the league by William
E. Wolff, candidate for the
board.
Mr.. WOlff's letter, written in
answer to the queStiOnnaire
mailed out by the league to all
candidates who have filed, is the
first answer to the query to be
received by the league. In it
Mr.. Wolff declines to have his
name considered for endorsement
by that organization.
No Obligations
Mr.. Wolff declined the consid-
Grafton of the league; Saying:
eff 1 am elected, it must be
through the confidence Of peO-
pie as an entirety and I wish
to reserve my obligations to
them equally and refrain from
Obligating myself to. any Or
ganizatiOn."
Much verbal criticism has been
leveled at the policies of the
league since it's announcement
last week that it would endorse
four candidates for the board.
Much Of the criticism has to do
with the presence on the central
committee of the league Of seven
members who were delegates to
the Republican county conven-
ton.
