Is a person who is, for you, never under any suspicions. He never investigates you. A TRUE When charges are • a : against - 7 does not ask for proof. He asks the aceuser to clear out. He likes you just as you are. He does not want to alter you. He likes your moods and enjoys your pessimism as much as your optimism. He likes your success, and your failures endure you to him the more. He wants nothing from you, except that you be yourself. He is the one being with whom you can feel safe. With him you can utter your heart, its badness and its good- ness. You don't have, to be care- ful. In his presence you can be indiscrete, which means you can rest. Anybody may stand by you when you are right, a friend stands by you when you are wrong. In shott, a friend is one who knows all about you, yet likes you just the same. — Exchange.

The canyon chill: , in the Maytime And the frosts come back too soon. The stars glint there in the daytime And the sun creeps up at noon. Yet the white streams sing as they run And the black walls echo a tale Of things bold riders have done, And won Far on the canyon trail. Through the woods by the canyon river The blazes are few to guide, And the most of riders will shiver And balk at a trail untried. By ford and thicket and stone, Where the scattering hooftracks fail. You must chance a way of your own Alone, Riding the canyon trail. Mix with the ernwrl and troe,.1 . For the big main road is clear, And the talk and the crunch of gravel Drown the whisper of fear.

If they don't send him up I'll run in a shipload of my brakemen, and we'll push this isthmus overboard and him with it.\ \I knew you could fix things.\ \Fix 'em, fix 'em! That's easy! Say, how have you been getting along any- how?\ \Great!' \And you married one of these Pane - manicures, eh?\ The father scowled. \Lord I can trust you to make a fool of yourself.\ \Say dad. She's only—so big.\ An- thony junior indicated his wife's stat- ure, smiling rapturously. \Love her?\ \Do I? It's fierce.\ \Humph! You'll have to get over it. I'll pay your debts and take care of you, but I can't stand a mulatto around me.\ \There aren't any debts, and she's not a mulatto. She's a—dream.\ Some time later Kirk found himself in the open sunlight a free man once more, with Darwin K. Anthony and Runnels on either side of him. But before he had gone a block he halted suddenly, saying: \Williams! I'd forgotten him and his warrant\ \He's fixed,\ Runnels explained. \While your father and Mrs. Cortlandt and Colonel Jolson were getting you out of jail Clifford and I told him the truth. He's rather a decent fellow They have caught the real Jefferson Locke or whatever his name is.\ \No!\ \Yea a week ago. He landed In Bos- ton. Couldn't stay away from his own country any longer. Williams hadn't heard of it\ \What has become of Higgins?\ Kirk inquired of his father. — Anthony senior exploded: — - \Oh he's back scorching up the Ten- derloin, as usual. But you'll have to cut him out or I'll leave you here. That's final, understand?\ \I intend to stay here anyhow.\ \Huh?\ The old man turned with a start. \I'm dashed if you do!\ Then savagely: \What do you suppose I came down here for? I'm lonesome. I want you to come home.\ Kirk smiled craftily and looked at Runnels. \Well what can you offer? I'm doing pretty well as it is, and I can't afford to lay off.\ His father, in turn, appealed to the acting superintendent. \See! It's nothing less than blackmail. Is he any good, Mr. Runnels?\ \If there weren't so much politics in this job he'd be master of transporta- tion of the P. R. R. That's doing pret- ty well, isn't it? We're both going to quit and look for new work.\ \Do you drink, Kirk?\ \I haven't even had an alcohol rub since I left New York. But, dad, if you place me you'll have to take care of Runnels too. He knows more about railroads than—you do.\ Mr. Anthony grunted a trifle skepti- cally at this and murmured: \He must 'be a bright young man. I suppose what he doesn't know you do. Well, how would Am both like to come north and give me some lessons?\ \Do you mean it?\ they cried in chorus. \I do.\ \Oh there's Allan too. He'll have to go.\ \Any cats and dogs you'd like to have drawing salary from me? Now, let's go somewhere and eat I haven't tasted anything to speak of since Clif- ford's message came.\ \If you don't mind, I—I'd like to stop at the Garavels' for a minute,\ Kirk said longingly, and his father scowled. \I'd forgotten this—wife of yours.\ \She's not there,\ Runnels hastened to say. \I've tried to find her, but I was told she was out at the country place.\ \Then I think I'd rather drive out there than eat Won't _you go with me, dad?\ \Well—yes! I want to see this bank- er fellow, and—I'm not so blanked hungry, after all. We'll settle this thing right now.\ The afternoon sun was still an hour high when Kirk Anthony came down the hill from the GaraveLs' home and crossed the meadow toward the forest glade he knew so well.

ON FEDERAL PENSION _LIST (2000 years ago today, from the files of mail box nuisance.) \Grandpa\ Methuselah, the oldest inhabitant of this place celebrated his 950th birthday today in the presence of many old friends in a big reunion. The old gentleman was in excellent spirits and recounted many incidents of his youth. With perfect ease he rtcalled the first time the conundrum about the \chicken crossing the road\ came out, and said he remembered clearly when the sun was new on its job. When ask- ed what secret centered about his great age the patriarch stated: \Young feller, I never used licker or tobacker. I allus went ter bed at twilight, and riz with th' sun. I never worrit an' I allus worked hard. If ye wanter live ter be my age boy, all ye hay' ter do is to foller this advice: \Never go gallavantin' about, be moderate with yer vittles an' allus keep a cheerful heart an' smilin' face.\ Mr. Methuselah omitted to explain how anyone would be able to feel con- tented and keep a smiling heart with a cheerful face while living up to the black back, tail 6 inches long, answers other conditions, but his advice made a to the name Rab; collar wired on; no profound impression on his hearers, name plate; Spokane tag. Notify While the reunion festivities were in W. J. Fletcher, Superior; Mont. progress this afternoon, drummers for a malt whisky firm and representatives of three patent medicine concerns came with testimonials all ready to be signed but when the whisky salesman put his fountain pen in the old man's hand, Mr. Methuselah objected, 'saying \Dod gist ye, young feller, air ye going ter put my picter in the papers Ilong with all them boys ye air advertisin' as users o' yer durned old whisky!\ Mr. Methuselah does his own chores lind milks his own camel. He owned the first homesite of this town and has been drawing a federal pension for 800 years. Failing and being a failure are two entirely different things, and there are people who wring more success out of their misfortune than others do out of all the advantages showered upon them. It is not failing but staying down that makes a failure. NOTICE TO CREDITORS State of Montana, County of Mineral —ss. Estate of James L.

Her dusky eyes were fast upon the lights that wavered in the pool. As if to prove that the spot was really peopled by kind spirits, a gentle voice seemed to whisper the news to her and she turned to find him smiling at her. She rose and met him with her hands outstretched, her face trans- figured. After a time she leaned backward in his arms and said gravely: \You see! When one says many, many prayers the good saints always answer. The padre told me that I should never cease until you came, but I grew very itred: Ponor:' \And you never doubted me?\ \Oh no!\ \I'm free, you know.\ \Of course! What else were my prayers for? Had my father allowed I would have gone to your prison, hut he forbade It so I had no choice. But every hour I prayed that he might give me leave. and I think his heart was yielding.\ \I'm sure of that\ he told her. \for I have just come from him.\ It was some time later when the sun was dipping that voices sounded e•it side the wall of verdure. and Kirk heard Andres Garavel saying: \Of a certainty I shall try that ex- periment, senor, for the ticks in this country are a pest to cattle. A little to the right and you will find the path. So!\ An instant later the two white haired men appeared. \Hello! There you are. eh?\ Dar- win K.

She was unalling UD at inin talons. \IOU are Keerk's father, yes? You are the Senor Antonio.\ Mr. Anthony uttered a curious, chok- ing exclamation and gathered her gently in his arms. When he looked U) his eyes were wet and his deep lined face was working. \I couldn't wait any longer,\ he apol- ogized humbly to his son. \I bad to come and see her.\ \And then I hope you will like me.\ she said in her grave, quiet way. \Your father has told me every- thing\—Garavel laid a hand upon his new son's shoulder—\and we have be- ctime„good frigpds already,. J„ N AL L owe you a great apology, my boy. But if I conpent that you take my little girl away to your country will that be reparation?\ \Then you will let her go with us?\ Kirk cried happily. \If she doesn't go I'll stay,\ Anthony senior rumbled. \I—I don't see how you ever did it, you're such a blamed fool. Now let's go back to the house, Ws sundown.\ \We'll be along directly,\ his son as- sented. \There are chills in the evening air,\ Mr. Garavel protested. \I'm sorry, but we were waiting for the fairies. They were almost in sight when you frightened them away.\ Gertrudis nodded. \It is quite true. Senor Antonio. We heard them all about, everywhere.\ She placed her little hand in Kirk's, then checked her father's remonstrance, saying: \Oh. It is quite proper for us to walk home together. even in the dark. .We are married now, yen know.\ \Come on. Garavel,\ exclaimed Dar- win K. Anthony. \You understand how it is.\ Together they went out through the fragrant path a little way. Then old man Anthony paused and called back to his son wistfully. \But I say.
