By Annie Hinrichsen. (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure News paper Syndicate.) Around the side of the mountain came An immigrant train. Under the canvas tops of the wagons could be seen shab bily-dressed women and half-clothed chil dren. Beside the wagons rode men on horseback. From the porch of her cabin Marian Blaine watched the slowly moving train. Suddenly a band of Indians galloped from behind the mountain and. tiring as they rode swooped down upon the emi grants. Tne noise of the guns was terrific. The smoko almost hid the train and Its besiegers. Sick with terror Marian clung to the veranda railing. Her maid screamed Bteadlly. A clear bugle call rang out. From the mountain dashed a cavalry troop wear ing the uniform of the United States army. When the smoke cleared away the res cued Immigrants and the captured In dians, surrounded by the victorious cav alry. were passing around the mountain road by which they had come into view. The leader of the cavalry troop left his party and rode toward the cabin. He raised his broad-brimmed hat and swung from his prancing horse. He was a remarkably handsome young man. Ills sunburned face was clearcut and strong, and his tall figure was perfect in propor tions. He smiled up at the charming, frightened face of the girl on the veranrla. “I hope you were not alarmed." His voice was deep, rich and exquisitely mod ulated. "Those little scraps are quite ex citing." "Was any one killed?" "Not a scratch on any of us," laughed the officer. "We are so accustomed to these attacks that we manage them with out the least danger to any one." "I did not know there was an army post near here. I did not know there were Indians In this country, nor that emigrants were ever attacked." He looked at her In surprise. "Tt was—" Then he stopped. “We soldiers have a camp over beyond the mountain," Marlon Blaine hnd come west because she had developed a slight cough which had refused to be healed. She had bought a cabin on the plain and had remodeled It Into a comfortable home. Except for two servants brought from the east, she lived alone. Every day Captain Barrett rode over to the cabin. Of Immigrants, Indians and army life he seemed unwilling to talk. He was a man who had traveled widely. He discussed literature, art and music freely. Drama apparently bored him, for when Marian mentioned the stage he be came silent and inattentive. "I am glad that I know an army offi cer.” Marlon said. “I have never known any of our army men. and I have al ways wanted to. The army Is the noblest profession a man can enter. Our officers are heroes. The rescue of those Immi grants was the most wonderful thing I ever saw. And you were magnificent, leading your men Into battle-” The look In Barrett's eyes stopped her words. “Is It because T am an army officer fighting Indians that you—that you like me?” he asked slowly. “If you hnd known me In any other profession would you have let me be your friend? The profession, for Instance, of—of acting?” “An actor? You?” she laughed. “I cannot imagine It. You are an officer and a hero.” “I am neither an officer nor a hero.’’ Barrett’s voice was harsh. “ I am an nctor —an actor In a moving picture show. The battle you saw was a mock battle posed for the moving picture camera. I am the leading man of a moving picture show company which Is camped over beyond the mountain making pictures of western life. j “I deceived you not because I am ashamed of my profession. I am proud of it. But I was tired of being treated as an actor—stared at ns if I were an imported freak, surfeited with questions about the stage and its people, never re garded ns just a normal man making a living In a decent profession. I wanted a vacation from being an actor. I did not wish to pose ns a hero or to win your friendship through deceit. I thought," ho spoke ns simply as a boy, “I thought you liked me T did not realize until to day that you liked the hero, the army officer, the wonderful person who Is not I.” Marian’s face was set In hard lines. The lovely color had faded out of it. “Your camp—your picture show' camp—is beyond ! the mountain. Please return to it and do 1 not come b#re again.” A few days later Marian’s automobile Rrrlved from the east. The day It came she drove over to the picture company’s camp. The company was playing on the plain and the mountain side. Barrett was a young cattle king riding unmanageable horses, adored by an army of cowboys. He saved lives at the risk of his own, rounded up a band of cattle thieves and single handed captured the bad man of the country. When the picture was finished Marian waved to Barrett and he rode to the side of her ear. ”1 am sorry I was rude to you,” she said. “I like you very much much Indeed as a cattle king. Can we not be friends?” “I think not,” he said quietly. “1 am neither an army officer nor a cattle king. I am an actor. I love you. I thought you were beginning to care for me. Then I discovered that it W’as the armv officer you liked .and T told you the truth about myself. You ordered me from your house. Now you like the cattle king. I want your love, but I want it for the man I am, not for the man I impersonate. In a few min utes I shall play the part of a thief, a gambler, a highwayman, a murderer. You will despise me because your attitude to ward me depends entirely on the parts I pla*. ’ Out on the plain the villain plundered and murdered. He rode a horse that had seldom know'll the saddle. Even his splen did horsemanship was taxed to hold the animal in check. Near Marian’s car stood a group of women belonging to the com pany. Their words reached her distinct ly. Barrett’s horse reared, pawed the air and then shot forward, his head almost between his shoulders. A cry of horrer "ame from the watchers. The horse cd that he would build a dam and there store the flood waters for the irriga tion of the arid regions below. This was a large undertaking for the dam at Arrow-rock was to be the highest in the world and vast strength was need ed to hold back the imprisoned floods. The material must be brought into these solitudes for the huge undertak ing. A railroad was imperatively need ed. The government decided that it plunged to the ground and lay still. A high-powered automobile driven by a young woman dashed at full speed over the uneven ground, crashing through , bushes and over rocks. Marian knelt beside Barrett. His face ■was white and his eyes were closed. "Jack!" she walled, "Jack, speak to me." Barrett opened his eyes. "I'm not hurt; Just knocked silly." "Jack, I love you. I don’t care whether you aro a captain, a cattle king, a villain or anything else. I love you—the splendid, honest, sincere man I know you are." "You do not trust me," he protested feebly. “I was angry with you because I thought you had taken advantage of my credulity. I do trust you. Listen to the proof. A few minutes ago I heard the women of the company deploring your rashness In riding that dreadful horse, and they asked one of the young women why she permitted It. I knew she must have a strong claim on you. She is beau tiful, golden-haired, a high-bred face. For a moment I hated her. Then I re membered the look in your eyes as you salu, ‘I love you,’ and I knew the beau tiful girl could not be your sweetheart." "She is my sister. My sweetheart Is here beside me." The manager’s vole© broke In. "Glad you’re not hurt. Jack. Say, the camera man kept right on grinding the film and . we have a peach of a picture." “Goinq Into Mexico.” Interview with Norman Angell. If we go Into Mexico we shall stay there and the political momentum of the thing —the fact that when one gets started full swing along a certain political road it is J impossible to stop even if we wish—will carry us through to the Panama canal. ; Because our entrance into Mexico will not endear the United States to Spanish Americans, and wo shall find the Amer- J lean flag insulted, American citizens as- I saulted and American property destroyed | in Nicaragua, San Salvador, Costa Rica, ' Gautemala, San Domingo and Hayti, and sooner or later, since politics do not stand still, either go back or forward, and we shall not go back; we shall go forward. i We shall, that is, absorb into our body politic and attempt to make part of it \ some 20,000,000 or 30,000,000 of people, who do not speak our language, who have inherited entirely different traditions and moral and social outlook, whose law is fundamentally different from ours, whose institutions, social, religious, domestic and political, are different from ours. A people that is alien in language, race, instinct and law, however unruly and half civilized, has these institutions sufficient ly solidified to be incapable of destruction or molding in the sense of Anglo-Saxon institutions. What does this mean? What does it involve? A famous German general once made this remark: “You can do many things with bayonets, but you cannot sit on them," by which he meant, of course, that permanent occupation of a territory by military means has become progres sively and cumulatively difficult. * * * “1 do not want to imply by all this," he remarked, “that the United States cannot conquer Mexico, cannot, indeed, conquor all the people down to the Pan ama canal. She can. of course, if she wants to, exert the bulk of her national effort to such a purpose, but 1 do mean j that necessarily it will not be a military picnic, a matter of six weeks or six i months or six years. If England had to employ as against the Boers an army numbering two or three times the entire population of the Transvall, what sort of army shall we need to conquer a popu- i latlon of 20.000,000 or 30,000.000 (I am thinking of that conquest through to Pan ama), to whom guerilla warfare is meat and drink. If we start upon it, that is going to j be the main pre-occupation of American ! politics, that is going to represent the ! concentration of national effort for a generation or perhaps more, for we shall establish our power, and then there will come agitations, mutinies and rebellions. We shall advise special constitutions, for these people disagree about it. It will all be very interesting and very exciting, but it will have one rather important sec ondary result.

It was necessary to build 24 miles of railroad to reach the Arrowrock dam. Eventually the track was laid, equip ment was purchased, train crews made up of men on the government payroll.

Lorimer Bank Failure Not An Accident From the Chicago Tribune. When Mr. Lorimer was elected United States senator he organized a national bank. When lie ceased to be United States senator he surrendered his national charter and Incorporated his institution as a state bank. He had lost influence in national affairs. He retained it in state affairs. He withdrew his bank from national supervision. He put it under state supervision. When it became apparent to all poli ticians that owing to the strength of the progressive party in Illinois the success of the republican state ticket might well be despaired of, Mr. Lorimer made heavy campaign contributions to the democratic candidate for state auditor. The state auditor has charge of the bank examina tions. When this candidate had been elected and was In office. Mr. Seagrave, previous ly connected with many of the Lorimer Munday enterprises—with the LaSalle bank, with the Truax, Green company, with the Rosehill company, etc.—became chief clerk under State Auditor Brady. The chief clerk has direct charge of bank examiners, designating the banks to be Lnspected by them. Is there in these facts more than an in- ; tlmation that a barricade had been built around Mr. Lorimer’s political bank? A barricade of political influence behind which irregular banking or fraudulent banking might escape detection? Is there or is there not manifest design? We do not say that Mr. Lorimer willing ly risked his bank properties and exposed them voluntarily to ruin but consider the elaborate precautions taken to protect the Institution, and consider what the ex aminer's report reveals of the operations behind those protections. This was a political bank and its cap italization was political influence. It drew In city money, it drew In sanitary district money, it drew upon the resources of smaller state and private banks controlled or connected with it; it took the money which thrifty men and women hod de posited in these smaller banks and it fed the fund into struggling or desperate ventures. We do not believe that this was an accident In the life of William Lorimer. We believe that it is the consistent end of his relations with the public. We can not view his affairs with sympathy or find any excuse for his actions. Bankinq Laxity in Illinois. From the Minneapolis Journal. The bank failures in Illinois have no relation to the condition of other business or to the management of well regulated banks. Of all the states Illinois has the most defective banking law. Private banking is as free as faro bank ing in a frontier town and apparently is played with much the same purpose and effect. State banks are loosely regulated ; and the regulations have been indifferent- : ly enforced. For many years honest and Intelligent public opinion in Illinois has been urging the bank inspection and re striction laws so generally enacted in other states. One legislature after an other has turned a deaf ear, and nothing has been done. n he banks of integrity have filled the ' Ftap as well as they could with clearing house inspection and regulations, and the business of those that w’ould or could enter clearing houses Is as free from fault or suspicion as any in Minnesota. The banks in trouble now are not in any clear ing house, and seem to have been in closer relations with other political departments of the state government than with the state banking department. The reports they have made to the state auditor are less Intelligible than the I $1.000,000 of public funds deposited in four of them and the lists of campaign con tributions made by some of them that are leaking out. The plain facts seem to be that the politicians of Illinois have protected un sound banking from public inspection in return for money contributed and indi vidual opportunities for ground floor in Precepts of Toltec Parents. Charles Winslow Hall in National Maga zine. To these may he added a few words addressed to a beloved son, showing the loving and tender reverence for chil dren characteristic of Toltec parents: “My beloved son. lay to heart the words I am about to utter, for they come down to us from our forefathers, who adonished us to keep them locked up like precious gold-leaf, and taught us that hoys and girls were beloved of the Lord. For this reason the men of old who were devoted to his service held children in great reverence. They roused them from sleep, disrobed them, bathed them in cold water and made them sweep out the temples and offer <#pul (incense) to the gods. Tiiey bathed their mounts, saying that God heard their prayers and accepted their services, their tears and their sorrows, because they were of a pure heart, per fect and without blemish like precious stones. They declared also that the world was preserved for their sake, and that they were our intercessors behind Him.” Further he tells in his son that , "governors, sages and men killed by I lightning were supposed to be especial- | ly favored of Our Lord tho Sun. who called them to himself that they might live forever in His presence, in a per petual round of delight, etc.” It is evident from these quotations that the Toltec people who were oust ed from the Valley of Mexico about 1097 A. D., were not only affectionate and humans, but believed in a bene ficent creator, who desired only faith ful and loving service and beautiful and bloodless sacrifices, and who would welcome the pure and good and true to a heaven from free grossnes9 and cruelty; beautiful with eternul spring, where the weary would find rest and peace among never-failing streams, noble trees, and an eternal harvest ol yellow maize, delicious fruits and fragrant and beauf'ul flower*.

The Kind You Have Always Bought To Increase Supply of Salmon. Important experiments have recent ly been made by the fisheries expert for British Columbia in connection with the hatchery operations. Last year at Seaton lake, instead of plac ing all the sockeye salmon eggs in trays, as has been the custom hereto fore, a plan was adopted more in keeping with the natural methods fol lowed by the fish. The eggs, after having been inoculated with the lymph, were buried under five to sev en inches of sand and gravel. Over 200,000 ova were thus treated in tanks especially made therefor, and as a re sult 188,000 healthy fry have been taken out with the possibility of more to follow. This is a splendid record, as compared with the old pan, sys tem, and it is believed by the experts that the new method will revolution ize the business of the hatcheries. Money for Christmas.
