"My choice." snld Roltert Wayne
"Is travel. Sly jimliition is to see th
world."
"Action Is what 1 wish to expert
ence," spoke Bert Haywood, "business
Society, politics, and such so that I
gain n training that fits me for m
final mission In life."
"Adventure for nie!" chirped Aleck
Martin douchtlly. "Battle, wild on!
mals; aviation, fighting outlaws oi
trailing animals. The daring anc
thrilling is my forte."
And then Reuben Merle and thf
three who had spoken looked at Clif
ton Bross Inquiringly.
"Come, spenk up, Clifton V ordered
bluff, hearty 'Reuben Merle. "How dr
your Inclinations run?"
"I can say It In a word," came thf
careful measured reply, "education.'
and the old man looked Impressed, thf
others amused.
"As if six years. In college hadn't
given you a surfeit of that." Jeered
Martin.
"Well, I wish to use? It In a practi
cal way out In the world." supple
mented Bross.
"Take your fling, lads." broke In
Merle. "You huve the time to demon
strate your various preferences.. Then
come hack and settle down, and there'f
room enough and money In this lonely
old house for ull of you and foui
pretty, cheery wives In the bargain, it
you choose!"
"He was a quaint old fellow, this
Reuben Merle, and he had been like an
own father to the quartette of lads
he had adopted from an orphan asy
lum eight years previous and develop
ed Into manly. Intelligent young fel
lows. He had now started- them out
on an "independent test," as he called
it
"Come back satisfied; that is all I
ask," he told them, and although he
missed them from the first he consoled
himself by philosophizing thut a few
months "on their own hook" would
vastly expand their Ideas.
It was three months to a day when
Robert Wayne one morning burst In
upon Merle with a hearty handshake
and a cheery note of gladness.
"Bad penny bound to come back to
you!" he tried to Joke. "Well. I've
had my fill of travel. On the way to
the slope we were nearly frozen to
death and siarved. stalled In a snow
drift Tried to get to Honolulu.
Steamer wrecked and lost all my be
longings. Intend to do my traveling
right around this comfortable dear old
home and study law with a purpose."
"Goodi" commended Merle heartily.
"You're settled then. Wonder who
will be the next oneT"
It , was Haywood and he little
resembled the spick and 6pan young
knight errant who had left home with
such lofty ambitions.
"I'm through !" he reported with de
finlteness. "Action? I got it with a
vengeance. Thought I had a business
head and Joined In with a promoter,
ne got my money at the beginning
and I have been banging around watt
ing for the gorgeous dividends ever
since. I eat humble pie, I do, and if
you'll let me rest a bit I'll put up my
shingle as a doctor and find my action
with surgical experiments and acids."
"You're welcome. I can tell you
that." said Reuben Merle, and was
tender and indulgent as a loving shep
herd welcoming stray lambs back to
the borne fold. '
It was Just a month after that when
Aleck Martin put In an appearance.
They scarcely recognized him. He
had a half-healed scar on his cheek,
one arm In h slina, nnd I'tfpod.
"Adventure." he osplnlnod bricil.v
"I got It In Q n!ulna camp w h n n
Joyful cowboy flunt: a bowle knife nf
that cheek. A playful encounter with
a grlzaly did the rest."
"Wonder what has become of Clif
ton Bross nnd his qu"st for practical
education?" more than once suggested
Merle, nnd one day he walked . In.
Whereas.' he hnd been naturally pale
and slight looking, he was now
hronaed nnd husky. He greeted all
hands with n new self-assurance tbat
bespoke success, or at least satisfac
tion. "All here?" he rommented In a
pleased way. "flood ! I have solved
the problem of 'practical education, 1
nm pleased to say. I have always
maintained, you know, that a man
may be n gentleman farmer, or n
scientific carpenter, if he tas the
Imilns. Fellows. Tve learned more
about agriculture In Hght months than
t could have ncqu'red by study In as
many years. Dear old patron, frlen '
arid adopted father! I have come bael
to asl; you to put me In charge of th'
farm here."
"Well! well!" commented Merle Ir
n gratified way. "flow did you cone
to take up the plowshare nnd harvest
er?" "Well. It was fate." responded Clif
ton. "I fell sick near a farmhouse.
Kind people took me In. A kinder
daughter nursed me. Love and farm
ing. See?"
"And nnd the young lady In ques
tion?" ventured Merle.
"Oh, Rosa, my wife, you mean?" in
quired Clifton, placidly nnd proudly.
"1 left her nt the hotel here, until I
leorned If my report met with your
approval."
"Lad." spoke Reuben Merle, his fn'c
aglow, "she shall reign here as thf
cherished queen of our little house

The best thing that can be said about the manner in
which an undertaker conducts his business is that he has
won the public praise. Upon every funeral occasion we are
complimented about the satisfactory manner in which we
perform our duty. Our services are of a high character
and are properly priced.
