nineteenth summer and that she nc

hated hiding on the slopes OF Folly

a DAY,
81 BRUCE CATION

TINE great political battles of the
Il days of Bryan, Roosevelt and
Wilson live again in "Beveridge and
the Progressive Era by Claude G..
Bowers, and the late Senator Albert
]. Beveridge of Indiana gets his
just dues as an uncommonly able
and devoted statesman.
Beveridge was first and foremost
an orator. He paid most of his way
through college by winning oratori-
cal contests. He projected himself
into politics, after graduation, by
his speeches.
Going to the senate while still
young, he soon lined up with the
Progressive group, fought valiantly
for Roosevelt measures while the
latter was President, stood out
against Taft after T. R. retired, and
became one of the most effective
campaigners in the Bull Moose fight
of 1912.
Mr.. Bowers studies his career in
NCOdll cl1lO O11C1O OOkl1C
sidelights on his associates.
He is cauStic in his discussion of
Taft, for instance, and he leaves
Roosevelt'S activities following the
1912 campaign looking less admir-
able than Roosevelt's admirers will
like.
He presents about as intelligent
and far-reaching a summary of the
whole Progressive movement as you
can find anywhere.
Also, he shows that Beveridge
himself contained many of the ele-
ments of real greatness.
All in all, doubt if the year will
produce a better biography.

You are staying, so Ill stay, too.
You happen to be all the family I

Asper sat down. "Stay in camp

riding and no wandering of. I don't
suppose that kid who can't keep

salt at watching you. He'd do as
you said"

nONA spent a restless first night

waiting for her father until mid
night, but he did not return. Old
Asper was back in his element
again. He had reverted to the fight
ing lumberjack who had once been
the fear and dread of the high coun-
try.
Stan Balls haunting words had
worked the change. He was staging
man hunt, and roughing it was a
mere incidental With sleeping bag
and rifle, he spent the night in the
woods. Dona guessed as much and
retired at midnight.
In the morning Dudley was up
early and had made round of the
timber camp before Dona came
from her room. She found him in
Swergin's office, which ASper had
made his during his stay in camp.
Dudley was sitting on her fathers
desk, drumming his heels against
the oak boards when she entered.
She crossed swiftly to Asper's
side.
"Dad!" she began reproachfully.
Asper dotted his wide black hat
and there was a guilty look on his
face as he raised his cheek for her
welcome kiss.
She looked tired, but there was a
tight line of determination at
the corners of her red lips.

Why are the cattlemen so eager

had won their fortune by hard hit

law covering timber rights and

plainly wished to end the converse
ton.

evasive.
Cant you send some one to tell
him we are here and want to talk
to him?" Dona insisted.
Wouldn't do no good. He'd come
in when he got ready. I can't send
out no men to run loose in the hills

stubbornly
You send a man after my father

snapped. The timber boss was verg-
ing on insolence.
Swergin stepped to the door and
called loudly "Mike" Get a move

visitors into the hotel.' AS an after
thought, he added, and if Delo
comes in, tell him he has company"

nONA rose and faced Swergin.
- There is more than a, desire
for report back of all this. What
is it?" Her words snapped out and
she resembled her father as she
faced the timber boss.
Swergin laughed again, this time
shortly. We'll, maybe there is. We
cut clean and the cowmen say we
ruin the range, but we have Gillette
check everything. What he says
goes-or did go until yesterday"
How does it happen they allow
you to cut clean?" Dona persisted.
Swergin wiped his mouth with
the back Of one hand and assumed
a heroic pose. Dudley stepped close
to Dona's side.
He did not like the big boss, and
the bold way Swergin looked at
Dona made him furious.
Give us the straight Of this, my
man, and quit playing to the GAL

Swergin looked Dudley over for
the first time. You're pretty much

eyes falter.
"Swergin is a good boss, but his
speech and ways are rough Dona
tried to placate the timber boss.
Her words irritated Swergin Wis

nONA almost jumped at his
II words. She had met many of
her fathers trusted men, but this
was the first one who ever had
spoken with such boldness and
equality.
Three Rivers indeed was a diff
ferent camp. She resolved at once
to keep her manner toward Swer-
gin quite formal

she urged in a different tone. The
big fellow before her demanded
equal treatment by his powerful
presence.

Next season we move over on the

thrust out and his narrow eyes
snapped.
This is a feud then between tim

slowly.
