"How old are you, daddy?" ho quer
ied.
"Eighty-four," wa tho reply. "Yes,
elrreo. eighty-four, nnd sprycr than

"You must a' tnken good caro of
yourself," Daylight suggested.
"I don't know about that. 1 ain't

In 'CI, and I was 11 family man with
coven youngsters. I reckon 1 was as

"Don't you find it lonely here?"
I Tho old man shifted the pall of milk
and reflected
"That all depends," ho said oracul

wood-roud omorBcd across a small tlat
upou a slightly traveled country road.
There wero no farms In this Immcdl
itto section, and no houses. Tho soil
wns meaner, tho bed-rock either closo
to the Biirfnco or constituting tho sur
fnco Itself. Mnnznnltn and scrub-oak,
however, flourished and walled tho
road on cither aldo with n, Junglo
Browth. Aud out a runway through
this growth a man suddonly scuttled
In n way that romlndod Daylight of a
rabbit.
He was a llttlo man, In patched
overalls; bareheaded, with a cotton
ehlrt open at tho throat and down tho
chest. Tho sun was ruddybrown In
bis face, and by It his sandy hair was
btcachod on tho ends to poroxido
blondo. Ho signed to Daylight to
bait, and hold up a lottor.
"If you're going to town, I'd bo
obliged It you mnll this," ho said.
"I suro will." Daylight put it into
his coat pockot "Do you llvo hore
Rbouts, stranger?"
Hut tho llttlo man did not answer.
He wns gazing at Daylight In a sur-r-'lBcd
nnd Btendfast fashion.
j "I know you," the little man aa-
nouncod. "You're Klam Harnlsh
Burning Daylight, tho papers call you.
Am I right?"
Daylight nodded.
"Well, I'm glad I wrote that letter
this afternoon," tho little man went
on, "or elso I'd havo missed bcclng
you. I'vo seen your photo In tho pa
pers many a tlmo, and I've a good
memory for faces. I recognized you
at once. My name's Kerguson."
"Do you llvo hereabouts?" Daylight
rcpoated his query.
"Oh, yes. I've got a llttlo shack
back hero In tho bush a hundred yards
and a pretty spring, and a fow fruit
trees nnd berry bushes. Como In and
tnko a look. And that spring Is a
dnndy. You novor tasted water llko
It Como In nnd try It."
Walking and leading his horse, Day
light followed the 'iulel-stpplng,
eager llttlo man through tho green
tunnel nnd emerged abruptly upon tho
clearing, If clearing It might bo called,
where wild naturo and man's earth

of ages from tho hillside hnd slowly
formed this deposit of fat earth. Un
der the oaks, almost buried In them,
stood a rough, unpnlnted cabin, tho
wldo vernnda of which, with chnlrs
and hammocks, advertised an out-of-doors
bedchamber. Daylight's keen
eyng took In everything. The clearing
was irregular, following tho patches
of the best soil, and every fruit tree
nnd berry bush, nnd even each vege
table plant, hud tho water personally
conducted to It Tho tiny Irrigation
channels wuro everywhere, and along
somo of them tho wnter wau running.
"What Do You
Ferguson looked eagerly Into his
visitor's fnco for signs of approbation.
"Whnt do you think of It, oh?"
"llnnd-rcnrod nnd manicured, every
blessed tree," Daylight laughed, but
tho Joy and satisfaction that shono In
his eyes contented tho llttlo man.
"Why, d'yo know, I know every one
of thoso trees as if they wero sons of
mlno I planted them, nursed thorn,
fed them, and brought them up. Como
on and peep nt tho spring."
"It's suro a hunimor," wns Dnyllght'a
verdict, aftor duo Inspection and sam
pling, as thoy turned back for tho
llOUFO.
Tho Interior was n surprise. Tho
cooking being dono In thu small, lean-
to kitchen, tho wholo cabin formed a
Inrgo living-room. A great table in
tho mlddlo wns comfortably littered
with books and magazines. All tho
available wall space, from wnll to cell
ing, was occupied by filled book
sholves. It seemed to Daylight that
ho had novcr seen so many books as
sembled In ono placo. Skins of wild
cat, 'coon and deer lay about on tho
pinoboard floor.
Daylight found himself charmed and
mado curious by tho llttlo man. Why
was ho hiding away hero In tho chap
arral, ho and his books? So it was,
when between them thoy hnd waBhcd
and wiped tho dishes and put them
nwfty, and hnd settled down to a couv
fortablo smoke, that Daylight put his
question.
"I)olc hero, ForguBon, Every since

Ferguson frankly showed his pleas
ure at tho questions.
"First of nil," ho began, "the doctors
wound up by losing nil hopo for me.
Oave mo a few months at host, and
that, after a course In sanitariums
nnd a trip to Kuropo and another to
Hawaii. They tried electricity and
forced foodlng and fasting, I was a
grnduato of about ovoiy thing in tho
curriculum. They kept mo poor with
their bills, whllo I went from bad to
worse. The troublo with mo was two
fold; first I was a born weakling; and
next, I wns living unnaturally too
much work, and responsibility and
strain. I was managing editor of
tho Tlmcs-Trlbune In San Francisco,
and I wasn't strong enough for the
strain. Of course my body went back
on me, nnd my mind, too, for that mat
atr. It had to bo bolstered up with
whisky, which wasn't good for it any
more than wns tho living In clubs
and hotels good for my stomach and
the rest of me. So I quit, quit every
thing, absolutely, and came to live In
the Valloy of tho Moon that's tho
Indian name, you know, for Sonoma
Vnllcy. I lived In tho lean-to the first
year; then I built tho cabin nnd sent
for my books. I never know what hap
piness wns before, nor health. Look
at mo now nnd daro to tell mo that I
look forty-soven."
"I wouldn't give a day over forty,"
Daylight confessed.
"Yet the day I came here I looked
neater sixty, and that was fifteen
years ago."
They talked along, and Daylight
looked at tho world from now angles.
Hero wns a man, neither bitter nor
cynlcnl, who laughed at the city-dwellers'
and called them lunatics; a man
who did not caro for mouey, and In
whom tho lust for power had long

ENGLISH TOWN IS A MODEL
Bournevllle, Suburb of Birmingham,
Practically Ideal In All of Its
Arrangements.
Under the head "Garden CitleB"
Wllhclm Miller gives ns a splendid pic
turo of an Ideal garden city. He says:
"Tho most perfect city I have ever
seen or heard of Is tho famous city of
Bournovllle, a suburb of Birmingham,
England. I was simply transported by
the healthfulueBS, happiness, and
beauty of tho place, and I believe it
gives the people more for their money
thnn any city on earth. Any one who
has cherished somo noble vision of a
glorified humanity would be Intensely
Interested to sco Bournevllle.
"Can you Imagine yoursolf living
four miles from tho city of Pittsburg I
In a suburban town of about 3,000 In
habitants, where thero nro no saloons
and never can bo any slums, noise,
dirt, crowding, factory smells, bill
boards, or streets torn up for gas light
ing or sowers? Wouldn't you llko a
chance to play golf, tennis, cricket, j
bowls, or hockoy under Ideal circum
stances at a cost of a few cents a day?
Wouldn't you bo satisfied with tho so
cial llfo of a community that has splen
did schools, churchos, baths, gymnasi
um, meeting-house, and one-tenth of Its
whole area given up to parks and play
grounds? Wouldn't you feel safer In
a city whero the national birth rato
has been doubled and tho death rato
cut in two? And what would you say
to a handsome brick houso of seven
rooms and bath, with an eighth of an
aero already planted with fruit trees,
vines, and lawn, at a rental of $12.30
tt month?
"Bournovillo was founded by George
Cadbury, tho cocoa manufacturer.
Only 41 per cent, of tho renters at
Bournevllle are employes of tho fac
tory. Tho others camo from any
where and everywhere, and many of
them spend their days In Birmingham.
Consequently the social life is that of a
normal, mixed community not merely
Industrial or suburban. In the second
place, Bournovillo really pays. Tho
city's chief source of lncomo is rent.
Berjhody pays S per cent, on the in-
vestment actually made in his houo
and lot. The city's income doubles ev
ery five years (it Is riow fifteen years
old,) and In fifty years, at this rate, it
will have an nnnual lncomo of about
?5,000,000. And since It will nover
have to pay back Mr. Cadbury's gift
of about $775,000, the city will have
a largo sunt available for building oth
er cities llko Bournevllle."
TREES FOR CITY STREETS
