The potent -energy ' of the sun opened ftll the myriad veins of the great trees , wakened the hibernating creatures of the dens and burrows from their pro- tracted sleep , caused the seeds to swell and burst in the bosom of earth , and sent the blood coursing through Da vid's veins , quickening all his intellec- tual and spiritual powers. And then , the end of his exile was near ! In a few weeks he would have vindicated the purity of his purpose to attain the divine life , and have proved himself worthy to claim the hand of Pepeeta ! , All the winter long he had plied his axe. Once more , now that the snow had vanished , he set fire to the debris which he had strewn around him , and saw with an indescribable feeling of triumph and delight the open soil made ready for his plow. He yoked a team of patient oxen to it and set the sharp point deep into the black soil. Never had the earth smelled so sweet as now when the broad share threw it back in a continuously advancing wave. Never had that yeoman's joy of hearing the ripping of roots and the grating of iron against stones as the great oxen set- tled to their work , strained in their yokes and dragged the plow point I through the bosom of the earth , been half so genuine and deep. It was good to be alive , to sleep , to eat , to toil : Cities had lost their charm. David's sin was no longer a withering and blasting , but a chastening and re- straining memory. His clearing was a kingdom , his cabin a palace , and he was soon to have a queen ! He had reserved his sowing for the last day of his self-imposed seclusion , which ended with the month of May. On the day following , having accom- plished his vow , he would go to the house of God and , claim his bride ! This day he would devote to that sol emn function of scattering the sacred seed of life's chief support r into the open furrow ! No wonder a feeling of devotion and awe came upon him as he prepared himself for hiq task ; for perhaps there is not a single act in the whole econ- omy of life better calculated to stir a thoughtful mind to its profoundest depths than the sowing of those gold- en grains which have within them the promise and potency of life. Year after year , century after century , millions of men have gone forth in the light of the all-beholding and life-giving sun to cast intothe b'osom of the earth the sustenance of their children ! It is a sublime act of faith , and this sacrifice of a present for a future good , an ac tual for a potential blessing , is no less beautiful and holy because familiar and old. The Divine Master : himself could not contemplate it without' emo- tion and was inspired by it to the ut- terance of one of his grandest para- . bles / And then the field itself inspired : sol emn reflections and noble pride in the mind of the sower. It was his own ! He had carved it out of a wilderness ! Here was soil which had never been opened to the daylight Here was ground which perhaps for a thousand , and not unlikely for ten thousand years , should send forth seed to the sower ; and he had cleared it with , his own hands ! Generations and centuries after he should have died and been for- gotten , men would go forth into this field as he was doing to-day , to sow their seed and reap : their harvests. He slung his bag of grain over his shoulder and stepped forth from his cabin at the dawn of day. The clear- ing he had made was an almost per- fect circle. All around it were the green walls of the forest with the great trunks of the beeches , white and symmetrical , standing like vast Corinthian columns supporting a green frieze upon which rested the lofty roof of the immense cathedral. From the organ-loft the music of the morning breeze resounded , and from the choirs the sweet antiphonals of birds. Odors , of pine , of balsam , of violets , of pep- permint , of fresh-plowed earth , of bursting life , were wafted across the vast ; nave from transept to transept , and floated like incense up to heaven. The priest , about to offer his sacri- fice , the sacrifice of a broken heart and contrite spirit , about to confess his faith ; in the beautiful and symbol- ic act of sacrificing the present for the future , stepped forth into the open furrow. His open countenance , bronzed with the sun , was lighted with love and adoration ; his. lips smiled ; his * eyes glowed ; he lifted them to the" heavens in an unspoken prayer for the benedIc- tion of the great life-giver ; he drew into his nostrils the sweet odors , into his lungs the pure air , into his soul the beauty and glory of the world , and then , filling his hand with the golden grain , ho flung it into the bosom of the waiting earth. All day long he strode across the clearing and with rhythmical swinging of his brawny arm lavishly scattered the golden grain. I As the sun went down and the sower neared the conclusion of his labor * his emotions became deeper and yet more deep. He entered more and more fully into the true spirit'and significance of his act He felt that it was a sacra- ment. of the I Thoughts operation of the mighty energies which he was evoking ; of the Divine spirit who brooded over all ; of the coming into this wilderness of the woman who was ZI to be the good angel of his life ; of the h ceremony that was to be : enacted In the little meeting house ; of the work C to which he was dedicated in the fu- tl ; ture , kindled his soul into an ecstasyt of joy. He ceased to be conscious of 31 ( his present task. The material world " , . . . 1 1I I loosened its hold upon his senses. His thoughts became riveted upon the ele- ments of that spiritual universe that lay within and around him , and that seemed uncovered to his view as to the apostle of old. "Whether he was in the body , or out of the body , he could not tell ! " Finally he' ceased to move ; his hand was arrested and hung poised in mid-air with the unscattered : seed in its palm ; his eyes were fixed on some invisible object and he stood as he had stood when we first caught sight of him in the half-plowed mead- ow-lost in a trance. How long he stood he never knew , but he was wakened , at last , as it was natural and. fitting he should be. Fulfilling her agreement to come and bring him home on the eve of their wedding day , Pepeeta emerged like a beautiful apparition from an opening in the green wall of the great cathe- dral. She saw David standing immov- able in the furrow. For a few mo- ments she was absorbed in admiration of the grace and beauty of the noble and commanding figure , and the , she was thrilled with the consciousness that she possessed the priceless tre s- ure of his love. But these emotions were follbwed by a holy awe as she discovered that the soul of her lover was filled with religious ecstasy. She felt that the place whereon she stood was holy ground , and reverently await- ed the emergence of the worshiper from the holy of holies into which he had withdrawn for prayer. But the rapture lasted long and it was growing late. The shadows from the summits of the hills had already crept across the clearing and were si- lently ascending the trunks of the trees on the eastern side . It was time for them to go. She took a step toward him , and then another , moving slowly , : reverently , and touched him on the arm. He started. The half-closed hand relaxed and the seed fell to the ground , the dreamer "woke and de- scended from the heaven of the spirit- ual world into that vof the earthly , the heart of a pure and noble woman. "I have come , " she said , simply. He took her in his arms and kissed her. / "Thee is not through yet ? " "So it seems ! I must have lost my. self. " "I think : thee rather found thyself. " "Perhaps I did ; but I must finish my labor. It will never do for me to let , my visions supplant my tasks. : They will be hurtful , save as incentives to toil. I must be careful ! " "Let me help thee. There are only a few more furrows. I am sure that I can sow , " she said , extending her hand. He placed some of the seed in her apron and she trudged by his side , laughing at her awkwardness but la- boring with all her might. Hef- lover took her hani ' in his and showed her how to cast the seed , and so they la- bored together until every furrow was filled. It was dark when they were done. They lingered a little while to put the cabin in order , and then turned their faces towards the old farmhouse. "It was here , " Pepeeta said , as they approached the little bridge , "that we met each other and yielded our hearts to love. " "And met again after our tragedy I and our suffering , to find that love is eternal , " David added. ' They stood for a few moments in si- lence , recalling that bitter past , and then the man of many sins and sor- rows said , "Give me thy hand , Pepeeta. How small it seems in mine. Let me fold thee in my arms ; it makes my heart bound to feel thee there ! We have walked over rough roads togeth- er , and the path before us may not be \ always smooth. We have tasted the bitter cup between us , and there may still be dregs'at the bottom. It is hard to believe that after all the wrong we have done we can still be happy. God is surely good ! It seems to me that we must have our feet on the right path. " He paused for a moment and then continued : "I have brought thee many sorrows , sweetheart. "And many Joys. " "I mean to bring thee some in the 1 future ! The love I bear thee now is a different from that of the past I can- not wait until to-morrow to pledgeS thee my troth ! Listen ! " She did so , gazing up into his face t with dark eyes in which the light of the moon was reflected ' as inmountain lakes. There was something in them which filled his heart with unutterable emotion , and his words hung quivering upon his lips. "Speak , my love . , for I am listening , " she said. "I cannot , " he replied. ( The end. ) c Kind-Hearted Ship. c Kind 'Lady-So you are a sailor ? The Hobo-Yes , ma'am.

J TAfT DEMANDS lAWS TO CURB lAND GRABS I , Special Message \ on Conservation Barely Touches Ballinger- Pinchot Trouble. - POR $30,000,000 OF : BONDS , . Sum Needed for Irrigation-Urges Action Without Waiting for , Probing-Committee : Report. Declaring that portions of the pub ' lic domain worth millions of dollars have been obtained fraudulently by private interests , President Taft , in a special message to Congress , asks leg- islation that will permit the national government to conserve its vast re- sources in lands and water power in the sparsely settled regions of the West and Southwest without waiting for a report by the Congressional committee that is probing the Ballin- ger-Pinchot controversy. The message deals with the need of Congressional action for the conserva- tion of the natural resources of the 1 nation and supports the general policy of waterway development. The only waterway project specifically ap- proved is that of introducing dams in the Ohio River from Pittsburg to Cairo to assure a nine-foot stage at all times. Mr. Taft favors waterway de- velopment as "the best regulator of railroad rates tha \ we have. " Conservation of the soil is impera tive if the nation would provide for the increase in production necessary to meet the growing consumption , he says. "I recommend , " says the mes- sage , "that authority be given to is- i sue , not exceeding $30,000,000 of bonds from time to time , as the Sec- retary of the Interior shall find it * necessary , the proceeds to be applied to the completion of theconservation projects already begun and their prop- er extension , and the bonds running ten years or more , to be taken up by the proceeds of returns to the reclama- tion fund , which returns , as the years gq . . on , will increase ' rapidly in amount. " The slight references to the trouble in the Interior Department , which is contained in the closing paragraph of the message , is the only allusion to the trouble which resulted in the dis- charge'of Pinchot and brought about anacute situation in the capital and throughout the country. The President reviews at some length the history of the nation's pub lic domain and points out the defects in laws which he says have permitted vast ' : waste and the holding of millions of acres of land by fraud. On , this point the message says : "The truth is that title to millions of acres of public lands was fraudu- lently obtained , and that the right to recover a large part of such lands for the government long since ceased by reason of statutes of limitation. " Other Points in the Message. Some of the President's other rec ommendations follow : The rapid disposition of the public ands under the early statutes , and the ax methods of distribution prevailing , due , I think , to the belief that these lands should ; rapidly pass into private owner- ship ; , gave rise to the impression that the public domain was legitimate prey for the : unscrupulous , and that it was not contrary to good morals to circumvent the land laws. The investigations into violations of he public land laws , and the prosecution of land frauds , have been vigorously con- tinued under my administration , as has been the withdrawal of coal lands for classification : and valuation , and the tem- porary withholding of power sites. The present statutes , except so far as they dispose of the precious metals and he purely agricultural lands , are not adapted to carry out the , modern view of he best disposition of public lands to private , ownership , under conditions offering , on the one hand , sufficient in- ducement to private capital to take them over for proper development , with re- trictive condiions on the other which hall secure to the public that character of control which will prevent a monopoly or misuse of the lands or their products. It seems to me that -It Is the duty of Congress now , by a statute , to validate the withdrawals which have been made by , the Secretary of the Interior and the President and to authorize the Secretary of the Interior temporarily to withdraw lands pending submission to Congress f recommendations as to legislation to meet conditions or emergencies as they rise. It is incumbent upon the government o : foster by all available means the re- ources of the country that produces the food of the people. To this end the con- ervation of the soils of the country hould be cared for with all means at the government's disposal. One of the projects which answers the escription I have given is that of intro- ucing dams into the Ohio Riv'er from S Pittsburg ' to Cairo , so as to maintain at ill seasons of the year , by slack water , a epth of nine feet. I recommend that the IBi . resent Congress , in the river and harbor Bi : billk . make provision for continuing conr tracts to complete this improvement , and \ : shall recommend in the future , if It be R ecessary , that bonds be issued to carry ' . through.
