It was hla first experience o f the world o f men; he had only left Harvard two years, aad hare he waa dining with Jim Wada o f the Southwestern Interstate and a score o f other railroad mag­ nates and financiers and their wives. "B e nice to him, H elen," her fa­ ther pleaded, and Helen obeyed to the letter. The truth waa that ahe fe lt herself attracted by the dean- looking. well-poised, alert young law- And John sat almost silent through the dinner; he felt lik e a criminal to have come there and accepted Wade's hospitality when he muat tell him what he had to tell.

John Lancaster was not Insensible to the flattery, and W ade had Intend­ ed that he should not be. “ Tour father was our chief reliance In this case," continued Wade.

I can't take your case," said John abruptly. W ade sat studying him. “ W hy not?” ke demanded presently. “ It Isn't rig h t And I am only going to take cases that I believe In," an­ swered John. "Yon mean we can’t get those thou­ sand scree from the city?" “ I mean that morally yon have no right to them.” "M y dear fellow ! A City, please remember. They will be worth mil­ lions to os as freight terminals, while now they are nothing but a public playground." John looked the other squarely in the eyes. *T don’t know whether yon can win on a technicality,” he answered, “ but yon have no right to that land.

Saying no more about the matter, ha employed him on one or two minor oases. Meanwhile he made g cloae friend of the young man. Jo&n waa conatantty at W ade’s house, and from each visit he went away with a deeper lmpree- alon o f Helen.

" I am not w orthy to listen to anch words from you,” she sobbed. " I t la I who am not worthy— " John began. S h e, turned op him w ith flaming cheeks. "L isten and I w ill explain to you," she began. "Father waa vary eager to have you take charge o f a certain case fo r him.

I love you, John, and— and I don't care anything about fa ­ ther's old case.” “ Then I shall go and apeak to him." answered John. But, to bis aurprlae, the railroad magnate*' waa at the door. H e had aeen hla daughter In John's arms, and came forward, hla face red with an­ ger. • “ So this is how you abuse my confi­ dence," he began; but the look on John's face checked him. “ I love your daughter, air,” he an­ swered, “ and I have every reason to believe that she cares fo r me. The fact o f your admitting me to your house gives me the right to hope to make her my w ife.” “ Your w ife !" cried Wade contemp­ tuously. "W hy, the girl was simply being kind to you. I told her to. If you want to know. In the hope that you would Btop holding up our opera­ tions with your Infernal pigheaded- ness.” "Stop, fa th er!” cried H elen furi­ ously.

For a moment W ade struggled with hla emotions. Then, suddenly, his face cleared. “ John,” he said, holding out his hand, “ forgive me. I guess I didn't mean all that. Take her. And you'll take the case?" "N o, sir,” said John. " I have looked farther lntb It, and It Is infamous. I am going to oppose It to the utmost o f my power.” “ Then,” said W ade quietly, “ w e ll have a battle royal over that. A battle royal— In the family.” Hearing but Not Listening.

Nestling In the heart o f a great moun­ tain which, in ages past, was a livin g volcano, 6,000 feet above tho sea, with Its sapphire surface unruf­ fled, reflecting the many-hued surfaces o f the 1,000 feet high crater walls which surroundod It, It is undoubtedly one o f the most exquisite gems of color to be found In the world. Its blue surpasses the blue o f the Bay of Naples in richness and Intensity and Its somewhat weird surroundings, pregnant with mystery and solitude, are In perfect harmony with the placid repose o f Its'Surface. There are glaciers In many coun­ tries, high peaks, w ater falls, cascades, forests and fields o f wild flowqrs to be found In many lands, but there Is only one Crater lake. Individuality is as om c« i C th e ph anto m s h i p , c p a t e r la k e and w ill leave as lasting an impres­ sion as Crater lake. Crater Lake National park is in the Cascade range o f mountains in south­ ern Oregon. The lake is circular -in form and about six miles in diameter. Its surface is at an elevation o f 6,177 feet above sea level and is an average o f 1,000 feet below the crest o f the surrounding crater rim. The great cavity in this mountain was once the crater o f an active volcano which, at oae time or another, collapsed, leaving a receptacle several hundred feet in depth which te now filled with spar­ kling blue water, clear as a diamond and o f a blue that defies description. Arranging for Tourists. T o make this unique gem o f ex­ quisite beauty available to the travel­ ing public has been no simple problem. Th e park Is traversed by roads from the west and from the south and the approaches are along easy gradients and through wonderful forests and alongside beautiful canyons, but upon a closer approach to the ascent to the rim o f the crater, the difficulty of reaching tha lake becomes more and more serious, and the problems In­ volved In establishing proper accom­ modations tor the tourists and main­ taining them throughout the season becomes more and more complex.
