"You will want me to go with you. daughter?” he asked, trying to think i how it would bo possible. "No. father, you couldn’t.

It was In the sunset gloaming that she arrived in Hawk Valley and the gold of the sky lay behind the hills, ruby lined, like the gold of Jasper Holt's roses whose sweet withered I lea -- • lay stored among her linen In Iter ureau drawre at hgine. They met her at the station, for a telegram ha i heralded her coining. Quietly, with hushed voices, they met her; for death waited beside the couch in the guest room of their home, and thry had i ueused how it must be be tween thvjo two. “Hi ■ :nn to be sleeping his life uvi.v." id Eleanor, folding a cloak about her uii-ter.' for she saw that, it was . hard with her.

I will not go away," she breathed, and laid her soft Ups on his again. This time his own respond ed feebly. It was in (ho morning that the doc tors said there was hope, though they confessed afterward that recovery begun with his first sight of Jean's face. Jean scarcely left his side day or tight, and seemed tireless. Often she dept on a low stool beside the bad. with her head against his pillow, fine night morning he awoke to find her {leeping so. and laid his weak unr.er aln hand softly upon her head. She ipened her eyes, met his smile, and new that lie was better. "A life for a life,” he said softly. ‘Dear, yop must go to your bed and •est. I will get well now. You are tilling yourself." But her smile shone forth radiantly. "I couldn't rest atvay from you," she iald, giving him u dazzling look. “I'm tot t, going to leave you any more, ;ver!” Then she paused and looked ihyly up again. “Unless," she added trehly, “unless- you’ve changed your liintl and don’t want me. lu that case 'll go back home as soon as you are ible to be out.” “Oh, my dear!” he said softly, and lrew her down to his breast with his me good arm. “I>o you mean tt? Mol leave me again ever? Are you willing to bo my wife? Can you really rust me now?” “I’ve trusted you always.” she said softly, nestling her face against his theck. "1 trusted you the first time ; saw you.” “But your people, Jean?” “My people all love and honor you,” mid Jean, with shining eyes. “They hink you are magnificent! They can rot say enough about you. Eleanor would bo!W down and hiss your foot, ind my fathor and mother know all ibout you and have sent mo to you willingly. But, Jasper, listen, if every tu*> in this wide world were against vou, even nty dear people, I should nnrry you anyway and stay with you! I couldn’t live any longer without vou!” He looked tutu her eyes, and he ;]rttnk in her trust utid loveliness and beautiful self surrender as if it had been some life giving draught; then re laid his hand upon her hair and pressed her closer to him. “Oh, you wonderful woman!” he raid. uiu mu mnr ■ .un iuii^ to get wall after tluil. Hope and joy flume in his eyes so that hts face was tia'.zilng to look npou, and those who came Into his room walked softly, filled with awe. #that a man who had come and gone among them for years and hoi.i. held almost in contempt, could have within him a soul so great and noble na to shine like that in his face. .lean's father sod mother came west for a visit about (' at tjme, for Jean wrote that there was no use expect ing her to return now, and when the two met, Jean’s father and her lover, and stood hand In hand, looking Into ono another's eytr. for a full, long minute before either spoke, each felt entirely satisfied. Of course all this cool'd not go on without, the town knowing something of. the state of things, for- everybody came to find out how the hero- was get ting on; :.nd Jasper Kelt's mini, as they came and went In grave concern wove beset with questions. And when Jean arrived, then he,- parents, the town opened eyes of understanding and noddd gravely, thinking it was well , So when it was announced most in formally that a wedding would take place no one was surprised.

By I BELLE KANARIS MAN1ATES Author of “AMARILLY OF CLOTHES-LINE ALLEY,* "MILDEW MANSE" ETC, 1 CHAPTER X. On an afternoon ia early spring a man lounged against the wall of the station waiting for the express' from the east. Slender of waist and hip, | stalwart of shoulder, some 72 inches of j sinewy height, he was the figure of the | typical cattleman. His eyes were deep ■set and far seeing; his lean, brown face, I roughened by outdoor life, was austere j and resolute in expression. The train had barely stopped when j a. boyish looking, lithe limbed youth leaped from the platform. The blue serge suit and checked cap he wore did not. disguise the fact that his working dottles -his field uniform—were those of a cow puncher. A few quick strides brought him to the man In waiting. "Hoped you’d be on hand to meet me, Kurt, so X could get out to the ranch tonight. How’s things up there?’’ "Just the same as they were when you left, Jo," said the one addressed in whimsical tone. “You’ve only beep gone 10 days, you know." "You don't say!" ejaculated Jo, fol lowing his companion through the depot. “City does ago a man." done arc the days of the golden west i when spurred and revolvered horsemen sprang Into saddles and loped out of the brush, or skimmed over matted mesqulte on a buckboa.nl drawn by swift running ponies. A long racing car was waiting for the two men and they wero soon speeding over a hard baked, steel like road that led up. around and over the far flung, undulating hills before them. ”1 thought Kingdon's best car was 1 worth 1,000,000 bucks before 1 went to Chicago," said Joe critically, “but it sure would look like a two-spot on Michigan avenue.” I The other smiled indulgently. “1 trust everything out here, won't suffer by comparison with the things ; you haw seen during your Journey.” "J should say not! It all looks pretty | good to me. I wouldn't change this j trail to Top Hill for all the boulevards land asphalts of Chicago, and our ranch 1 house has got any hotel T saw skinned by a mile for real living. I had some vacation, though, and it was mighty good of you to send me on that busi ness. I 'tended to It, all right as soon , as I got there, before I took in any of the eights or let. loose for my time ' I won't forget, it in you, Kurt ,—to send me instead of going your self." "Well. Jo, you'd been cooped up here a long time for a youngster,” said Kurt, I laying a hand on the younger man's shoulder, "and I saw you were farin' for a little recreation. 1 thought you would settle down to a hard season’s I work if you let out a little. I received .your report and check. You managed | that cattle deal very shrewdly. Klng j don was much pleased." “That’s encouraging, but I feel bet-' ; ter at pleasing you. Kurt." 't ,f They rode on without talking for some distance. From time to time Kurt least ii searching glamv at the young man whose eyes shone with a strange. | steady light—a look of exaltation and despair combined. The car slowed down to conversa tional need. What 'tig. Jo? Did you come to grief when you 'let loose?’ Hot go all your earnings in one big game without any way-slips, or did you have such a round of theaters, cabarets and night life that you are feeling the depression of reac tion r “You're guessing wrong,” replied Jo | quietly. ”1 know that's the way most l of us grass-fed men act when we get |a chance at white lights. I had a beau itiful time that was as short and as far j off as a pleaaant dream. As I said. ! I started out for a regular time, but I j didn't take a drink, or touch- a card. I or -say, Kvrrf. I think I'it like to tell | you about it? 1 know you won’t kid me, I for I'm in earnest and—in trouble." Another quick glance at the blue 1 eyes, usually so bringing with spark ! ling ctiy.pty but which were row serious land despondent, brought a i ransfortna | tion to the grtm.face of the older man, making him look kinder, warmer, ' younger. a “Shoot, Jut’* was all he said, hut the lad fete that the crude word was hacked 1 up by a real interval, a readiness to hear and advise. "Some one gave me a steer to a dance place.” he began. "Hurricane hall.

'“yes.' she said; and I knew she meant it. •" 1 Want to d&nco with you,’ I told her, 'but I don't want to do it here.’ " Where can we go?’ she .asked, “‘I know a man in Chicago,’ I said,, •who Has asked me^to come to his plage.

" Will you go there with me now?' i asked hor. ‘‘‘yes,' she said. 'I know you’re all right,’ "Maybe I wasn't feeling good when 1 d got her out of there and steered hen through the street. She was a little1 mite of a thing, and young, but very quiet; her eyes had a sad look. "We went to Reilly’s. He was up’ here in the hill country once for a va*^ cation—the time you were out On the coast. We follows gave him some time, and he liked it fine. Well, he told us: i he place was ours. The music wa.fi great, and we started right out on the floor. Say! I was feeling as fit and stepping as lively as if I had had 1.000,000 drinks, but I hadn’t had one. There was no getting around it. That! little girl in her white dress had landed) me one right over the heart. She. slipped into my arras as quick as she, had into my heart, too. I danced thej ■ way I felt—well, she was right with mo every time: the slickest little step per I ever saw.

"Wo danced- every time without talking any. When It came closing time, ReiMy came up again and said:, ’This is the hour we quit, but it don’t' mean for my guests.

When I saw whnt time ; it was, I took the hint and: w» got right up. I asked him what there was- to pay. and he said? if I tried, to pay, I’d have to do it over his dead body.

CALLS GOITER PREVENTABLE In « recent number of American cine, iiram says from .W to 50 per cen; of the goiters can Ik; prevented. This will be good new* to many people, espec ially since he has something to say a'joul methods of curing thr6 small, mild goiters. of which there are so many. The most important necessity is to boil the water. Just wha! is the relation of water to goiter nobody seems to know-* Some say it Is gross pollution of the water which does the harm. That view is held by McCarvieron. an Kuglish physic ian located in India, where the Aripking water is often very foul. It does not ex plain why there ts so much of the disease j in cities located on the great lakes and supplied with purr water. Others say thru, the disease is caused i by tho absence of certain chemicals from water or the presence of others in it. Though there is disagreement as to the cause, there is agreement that the water should be boiled. The second necessity is that the food: should contain a certain percentage of iodine. Meat foods are poor in iodine. Some vegetables contain a small amount.. A diet against goiter is one that contains but BfttSe mea?% but is rich in vegetables. A third requisite is aw active owrt o-f door life, with plenty of sunshwie.. In .some goiter districts, it is aaid letting the sunshine into the drinking water will prevent goiter from developing among the crystals are absorbed into the air and breathed to supply the iodine Beaded by the bodies of the occupants. For persons with small goiters- Koetrar advises painting the enlargement with an iodine-iodide of potash salve—16 to 45 gram.s—daily for two weeks-.. To paint on tincture of iodine discolors and irritates the skin. In some places they give a small dose of iodide of soda or syrup of iodide of iron every day for two weeks twice a year. The dose of iodide of soda is 6 grains a day; of syrup of iodide of iron, 15 drops. Of considerable importance is proper personal hygiene. The bow-els must be kept regular, the digestion good and there must be plenty of exercise in the open air. If the teeth or tonsils are ab normal they roust be attended to. It has been noticed that there is a rela tion''between adolescence and goiter In women. Many girls with goiter are worse* during their engagement and yet better when they marry. Therefore Bram ad vises girls with goiter to have a short engagement and to marry early. WHY CHILDREN ARE ABSENT^ FROM SCHOOL In Gary, when a child returns to school after an absence, the reason ie inquired into. If sickness is given, the nature ofl the illness is asked. It was found there, as in every other greatly to the inefficiency of school work as well as the cost of maintaining the schools, and, therefore, adds to the tax rate. The Gary schools were closed on ac count of the influenza epidemic, from October 12 to October 30 and from No vember 20 to December 16. The expense of these closures was great and the teach ing for the year was badly disorganized. Closing the schools as a means of con trolling influenza was a waste of money, as closing of schools in order to check an epidemic generally is. But that for from states the loss from nonattendance. In all, 5,446 pupils were enrolled in the three principal schools, while the daily ‘ average attendance was only 3,726. Prac tically one-third of the total enrolled were absent each day. Ordinary colds caused 3.01S pupils to absent themselves, an av erage of 2.5 days—a loss of 7,545 days. Sore throats, a first cousin, caused 1,14b pupiLs to stay away about 2.5 days each, or almost 3,000 days’ loss. In spite of the closure of the schools for a month smwI a half, influenza and its immediate effects caused 646 children to stay away from school. Contagion mode up a comparatively small part of the total. Diphtheria caused onlv 104 to absent themselves, scarlet fev4r, 41; measles, 187; whooping cough, 6. and chickenpox, 169. These figures are increased when to them is added the number excluded from school by the school inspectors; 20 wert excluded on account of diphtheria, 13 on account of scarlet fever, 67 on account all chickenpox, 60 measles, and 1 mumps. The figures show that diphtheria is n«at very prevalent among Gary school ehiLcbreni. Only 16 positive cultures were found among 1,019 tubes inoculated from school children. Minor skin troubles were prevalent among these children. In one school the nurse gave 227 treat ments for ringworm, 163 for impetigp. , siiOid 14 fpr herpes. Fifteen were excluded from Hchtiol, or absented themselves, on account of lice, and the same number on account. <>f itch. - t i la* all probability the‘ number suffering from mild forms of contagious skin trouble was • considerably greater than these figures indicate. Within a generation the importance of colds and infections of the throat and bronchial tubes from the health stand point, and also from the standpoint of waste, will be recognized and something will bo done about it. At that time the imiiortan.ee of good air outside and inside buildings will he appreciated. Taxes and Extravagance. From Otto H. Kahn. One of the most valuable byproducts of I wise taxation is the promotion of thrift. 1 But our personal income tax. l»y reason of the kind and manner of its graduation, instead of promoting more frugal living, is u breeder of extravagance, and thus of : higher prices. Proof of this is everywhere. America has probably never h&etii as ; spendthrifty as she is now. For this phe nomenon, there fire various psychological and economic explanations which it. would take too long to set forth in this memo- • rand urn. One of these explanations is- ex- f pressed in the sentiment which 1, have j heard ex pressed repeatedly: "Whttf, is the f use of trying to save a few hu d or a C few thousand dollars' when " .overn- J morn takes it away from us ‘in. chunk - ?’ ' In other words, the incentive to .sa\. . has become, gravely diminished. Moreover, the invector, in order t> re- } coup portions, at least, of his incorao tax., demands securities; yielding much higher rates of interest than forme) y. thus .en hancing the coat ofcapital}-which again hlakes for higher prices. Or he buys tax exempt municipal, state or government bonds, thus diminishing thQ«*qua»Uty of funds availably for private e.Vb rpvise An incidental evil is disclosed in the fact that seeking, because Of the iiijiome tax, a higher return than bond investments offer. not u few investors have come to be tempted and induced to-turn to specula tion. Tbo promoter of "get rich quick” schemes is r* aping a harvest. The investor - reluctance to buy bonds subject-:4 to income tux,, or u.i least his insistence on an abnormally high yield of interest, is bound la the lot* run to have a decidedly unfavourable- effect our ex port trade, because if the world und r » xh thtg eircumstaac s is So buy 1 ' u&. we must enable foreigners tc bor 1 on, uso not only by means opening com mercial credits to them, nfct also by froelv purchasing their securities.
