BY LYMAN ANsON

Laden with golf bag and three pounds of Sunday morning news paper, Emmet Brant swung aboard the crowded suburban smoker, cas- ed down beside a fat man at the forward end and opened his Clarion automatically to Section Ten.
 He seldom failed to get kick from scanning his own stuff in print. It appeared every Sunday, to- gether with an oval half-tone of himself, under the running head "Humoresque". Each was a pungent little yarn complete in itself, based on fact, dripping human interest, enlivened by that cruel huinor which tickled the funny bones of thoughless thousands.
 Everything irritated Brant to-day, it seemed-the heat; the dirt; the sweating, shirt-sleeved passengers; the roSe-faced train butcher" with his stock of tin canaries that twit- tered namely. He wished the fel- low would quit blowing them. He wished particularly that his fat seatmate would keep his pigeyes to himself instead of constantly shifting them from the paper to Brant's face.
 Excuse me, Mister" the fat man wheezed affably as soon as the train had cleared the terminal "but-Say, ain't you the one that writes these here Humoresky pieces?"
 Brant nodded.
 Well, what " know about that! Gee, wished had a job like yours, Mir. Brant."
 Tt isn't so easy"
 "Yeah?" the other continued, ad- miringly. Well, it sure looks easy, Just watching for things to happen and writing 'em down. Always happening, too, if you got your eyes peeled. Amt that SO? Seems like I never turn around without some thing funny-hell, what th'-?"
 Before he could follow the fat mans stare, Brant was startled by a silk hat bobbing at his elbow. Below it he made out the olive face of a lad of or clothed in a min- iature dress suit.
 Behind him stood a small girl in starched white, hugging stiff bou- quet of flowers and regarding her brother through wondering eyes.
 Gee" grunted the fat man.
 But this, Brant saw, was prompt ed not by the youngsters but by an older girl-18, perhaps-on whose olive, Madonnalike face the eyes of the car were fixed.
 "Here-comeS-the-bride-" whiS- tied someone back in the car.
 There was no doubt of it, judg- ing from the young woman's white finery, her flowers, he long veil which she kept brushing back nerv- ously with factory-calloused hands while searching vainly for seats.
 The other members of her we'd ding party seemed negligible. A swarthy crew in Sundaysbest, hud- ding together in the aisle, looking to her for directions.
 For certainly she was master of ceremonies rather than her smirk- ing groom in bright blue suit, stiff collar and patent leather shoes, who stood by helplessly.
 InStinctively, Brant got to his feet and heaved his golf kit into the rack above. The fat man stared had out the window, muttering. The girl gave Brant a grateful flash and hastily damned her small bro- ther and sister into the vacant space. Then her eyes swept the pas sengers again in near-panic.
 But no one moved.
 Instead came Altering of re- marks. Crude bits of advice. Thread bare jokes. Moth-eaten insinuations clearly audible above the roar of the

NORTHERN IRELAND ROYAL

The government of Northern Ire- land is determined never to agree to any step which would bring about a separation from Great Britain. This was stressed by J. M. Andrews, Northern Ireland minister for labor, at 8 demonstration at Comber, Northern Ireland. He said that the inevitable sequel to re- moving the boundary between the Free State and Ulster would be that the boundary would be placed be- tween Ulster and Great Britain. That would be disastrous from every point of view to the whole population of Ulster, and espec.- ally to its industrial classes. '"The Ulster Government" he declared. twill never agree to that or any other course that will separate us from Great Britain"

train. Brant wondered how much the girl understood.
 More than he had hoped. 1t ap- peared, from the deep flush which spread slowly over her clear, dark skin.
 In this crisis her eyes sought out the groom pleadingly. She'd done her best, they seemed to say. Could n't he do something now to save the situation?

that blessed trip there was only one fly
in our molasses. Our hurried depart
ure had not allowed us to go over to
Mammoth to get a fishing permit for
MI. Smith. All the way from Jardine
I had repeatedly cautioned him care
fully and continuously to remember
that his name was Brown, not Smith.
An accommodating teamster who work.
ed for Walter Hoppe, at that time
contracting most of the heavy freight
hauling for the camp, had lent his per-
init to Smith. Brown, which was not
his name, was a jovial fat man who
knew everybody in Gardiner as well as
in Jardine and surroundings. He never
seemed to care two whoops whether
school kept or not.
I hardly expected that we were to
encounter any of the park scouts in
that isolated nook so far from all tour
ist routes. On none of my previous
trips to Knowles falls had I een hide
or hair of a scout. With Browns per-
NIT in Smiths pocket, I felt that we'd
get by ven though we should unex-
pectedly meet a pestiferous scout. Still
you know how it goes-somehow We
felt a little uneasy. We suffered q
feeling of sneaking small outlines.

(By JAMES E. STUART)

cannot doubt that every govern
mental official, from the president
Of our good old United States down
to the s%crubbiest justice in the most
ragged sagebrush hamlet Of the Rock
les, sooner or later learns that char
table diplomacy is often preferable
to strict enforcement of the letter Of
the law. 1t seems there car be no
Justice without at least a little in
Justice; but, by a judicious exercise
of diplomacy, any governmental Of
ficial can often reduce the modicum
Of injustice.
I shall tell of such worthy action
which took place within Yellowstone
park during the summer of 1899. I
was then serving as assayer and chem
list for the Bear Gulch Mining company
at Jardine, then known as Bear Gulch,
Park county. Situated about six or
seven miles east of Gardiner, this pic
turesque camp stands about 1900 feet
higher than the Gateway Town" and
about four or five miles north OF the
northern boundary of the park.
At present, 1885, the interval between
Jardine and the park boundary is face

only knows how many others were Grip

During the good old closing days Of
the nineteenth century we witnessed
no such pitiable butchery of those
noble animals. The elk herd in the

years before the northern Oh
the park was extended two miles into
Montana, Knowles had located some
productive placer ground along Crevice
creek a short distance above its mouth
and not far from the fall in the river,
the fall which bears his name. With
the northern extension of the park
boundary, Knowles was dispossessed of
his treasured claims which had during
several years given him IN easy in
dependent living. Several times I spent
the night in his abandoned, heavily
built, roomy cabin.
During the summer of 1899 two large
and immensely rich pockets were I'M
covered in the Bear Gulch mines. From
a big sample, taken from across a six
foot face of quartz, I made an assay
showing a little more than $4,000 in
gold per ton. This was, of course, very
exceptional. but. such was the excite
ment occasioned by those surprising
pockets. that many outside stockholders
personally visited the mines. One such,
whom I shall call Mr.. Smith, came
from Stint John, New Brunswick, to
spend a speculative month in the camp,
He was an intimate acquaintance of A.
C. Jardine. for whom the camp was
subsequently renamed and who was
then serving the company as its secre-
tary-treasurer.
In a short time Mr.. Smith suffered
a tormenting itch to go fishing. Mr..
Jardine and the superintendent dele
gated me to serve as MI. Smiths es-
cort and guide. Quite naturally I was
delighted. It was during August that,
with a pack horse loaded to the guards
with necessities, and a few luXuries for
use in cast of snake bite (Which we
barely missed, he and I hit the trail
on horseback southwark up the north
ern slope of Crevice mountain. The
park line extends along the southern
edge of that massive mountains heavily
timbered tabletop which stands at an
average elevation of 5000 feet above
sea level. Enroute briefly we visited
Tom Lewis who then had and who
still holds some valuable quartz claims
atop the mountain bordering the line,
While our animals zigZagged gingerly
down the steep southern slope of that
vast upheaval we entered that seldom
frequented part of Wonderland at
length to arrive at Knowles lonely
cabin on the creek a full $500 feet
lower than Lewis almost equally lonely
domicile. AS applied to that schistose
mountain the word Crevice is some
times given the French spelling, Crevas-
Sc.
Most of Knowles artistic homemade
furnishings were still in his abandoned
equally artistic roomy cabin. Also there
was a serviceable cook stove, and num-
erous household utensils were neatly
tucked away here and there within thu
room. All this had long puzzled me
and it continued to puzzle me until the
, evening of my first day with MI. Smith
in that alluring wilderness.
We arrived at the cabin about thret
o'clock during the afternoon, unloadee
our duffel, picketed our horses, ant
