I>an remembered the place because some o f the time-yellowed letters his grand father had sent him had been mailed at a town that bore this name. But he couldn't find Llnkvllle on the rnap. Later he was to know the reason— that the town, half-way hot ween the sage plains and the mountains, bad prospered and changed It* name. He remembered that It was located on one o f those great fresh water lakes o f southern Oregon - so. giving up that search, he began to look for lakes. He found them In plenty— vast, unmeas ured lake* that seemed to be distrib uted without reason or sense over tbe whole southern end o f the state. Near the Klamath b>h<w, seemingly the most Imposing o f all the fresh-water lakes that the map revealed, he found a city named Klamath Falla. He put the name down In bis notebook. The map showed a particularly high, far-spreading range o f moun tains due west o f the city. O f course they were the Cascades; the map said so very plainly. Then Dan knew he was getting home. H it grandfather had lived and trapped and died In these same wooded hills. Finally he located and recorded the name o f the largest city on the main railroad line that was adjacent to the Cascades. The preparation for his departure took many days. He read many hooks on flora and fauna. He bought sport ing equipment. Knowing the usual ratio between the respective pleasures o f anticipation and realization, he did not hurry himself at all. And one midnight he boarded a west-bound train. He sat for a long time In the vesti bule o f the sleeping car, thinking In anticipation of this final adventure of P AR LEY TO BE ASKED ON LABOR SITUATION Federals Fight Rebels.

He wns rather tremulous and exultant as he sank down Into his berth. He saw to It that at least a meas ure of preparation was made for his coming. That night a long wire went out to the Chamber o f Commerce of one o f the larger southern Oregon cities. In It. he told the date o f his arrival and asked certain directions. He wanted to know the name of seme mountain rancher where possibly he might find honrd and room for the re mainder o f the summer and the fall. The further back from the paths of men, he wrote, the greater would he his pleasure. And he signed the wire with his full name: Dan Falling, with a Henry In the middle, and a "1X1” at the end. He usunlly didn't sign hi* name In quite this manner. The people of H'tchenpolls <lld not have particular ly vivid memories o f Dan's grandfa ther. But It might be that a legend o f the gray, straight frontiersman who wns his ancestor hnd still survived In these remote Oregon wlbls. The nse o f the full name would do no harm. Instead o f hurting. It was a positive Inspiration. The Chamber o f Com merce of the busy little Oregon city was not usually exceptionally Inter ested In stray hunters that wnnted a boarding place for the summer. Its business was finding country homes for orchardlsts In the pleasant river valleys. But It happened that the re cipient of the wire was one of the old est residents, a frontiersman himself, and It wns one o f the traditions of the Old West that friendships were not soon forgotten. Dan Falling I had been a legend In the old trapping and I!). ■hooting day* when tbi* man waa young. Ho It ratne about that when Dan"» train *top|M-d at Cheyenne, he found a telegram waiting hliu; "Any relation to lain Falling of the Umpqua dlvldel" Dan had n«*ver heard o f the Ump qua divide, but he couldn't doubt tint that the nender o f the wire referred to his grandfather. He wired in the affirmative. The bead o f the Chamber o f Commerce received the win-, rend It, throat It Into' bl* desk, and In the fare of a reully Important piece of business proceeded to forget all about It. Thu* It came about that, except for one thing. Dan Falling would h*ve probably stepped off the train at hi* destination wholly unherahh-d and un met. The one thing thnt changed hia destiny was that at a meeting o f a certain widely known fraternal outer the next night, the Chamber of Com merce crossed trail* wl»h the Frontier tn the person o f another old resident who had hla home In the farthest reaches o f the Umpqua divide. The latter asked the former to come np for a few days’ shooting— the «leer be ing fatter and more numerous than any previous season since the days o f tbe grizzlies. "T/O busy. I'm afraid," the Cham ber o f Commerce had replied. "But Lennox— that reminds me. Do you remember old Dan Failing?" Lennox probe«I back Into the year* for a single Instant, straightened ont all the kinks of his memory tn less time than the wind straighten* ont the folds o f a flag, and turned a most Interested face. “ Remember him !" he exclaimed. “ 1 should say I do." The middle-aged man half-dosed hla pierc ing, gray eyea. Listen, Steele," he said, " I saw Dan Falllne make a bet once. I wns Just a kid, but I wake up In my sleep to marvel at It. W e had a full long glimpse o f a black-tall bounding up a long slope. It was Jnst a spike-buck, and Dan Falling said he could take the left-hand spike off with one shot from hla old Sharpe’s. Throe o f ns bet him— the whole thing In less then two second*. With the next shi t, he’d get the deer. He won the het. and now If I ever forget I>un Falling.

H I* name Is Dan Fall ing. too, and he want» to go up to your place to hunt. Stay all summer and pay board." Lennox's eyes said that he couldn't believe It was true. A fte r a while his tongue spoke, too. “ Good Lord,” he said. " I used to foller Dan around— like old Shag, before he died, followed Snowbird. O f course he can come. But he can’t pay board " It was rather characteristic of the mountain men— that the grandson o f Dan Falling couldn't possibly pay board. But Steele knew the ways o f cities and o f men, and he only smiled. “ He won't come, then.” he explained. "Anyway, have that out with him at the end o f hla stay. He wants fish ing. and you've got that tn the North fork. Moreover, you're a thousand miles back— ” “ Only one hundred. If you must know. But Steele—-do you suppose he’s the man his grandfather was be fore him— that all the Fallings have been since the first days o f the Ore gon trail?

Now he began to have doubts o f his own knowledge. “ He won't b e ; don't count on It.” he said humbly. “ The Fallings have done much for this region, and I'm glad enough to do a little to pay It back, but don’t count much on this eastern boy. He's lived In citie s ; besides, he's a sick man. He said so In his wire. You ought to know It before you take him tn.” The bronzed face changed; possibly a shadow o f disappointment came In to his eyes. “ A lunger, eh?” Lennox repeated. “ Yes— It’s true that If he'd been like the other Fallings, he’d never have been that. Why, Steele, yon couldn't have given that old man a cold If you'd tied him In the Rogue river overnight. O f course you couldn't count on the line keeping up forever.
