a goodby glance nt the vanishing pra
rles. The second morning the young tour
ists climbed out of the cars somewhat
dazed over their strange night's jour
ney. They were still more .dazed at
seeing before them, like a barrier to
the further progress of the train, a
green mountain wall that seemed to
tower into heaven and almost lean over
Into the plain where they were wait
ing for breakfast and the coming of
the mountain stage. Their eyes knew
the prairie and the few shade trees of
the streets and occasional groves, but
forests were only things of imagina
tion, forests nnd mountains like those
before them.
They did not have long to wait, for
soon a stagecoach came rattling down
the street The two old horses drew
up before the station, and Bill Dexter
hailed the party cordially from the bos
sent' of the'coach:1
"This way to the lake, sir. Drive
yer right up to the camp, sir. No ex
tra charge fer the two young ladies,"
he said gallantly, pointing out Lulse
nnd Itoxy.
Mr. Morey smiled indulgently nt the
hoary headed whip, whosoiGreen Moun

what nbashed the children. The twe
men held n whispered conversation
The old stnge driver looked wise nnd
placed his linger to the side of his nose
while he collected his thoughts.
The children climbed in besido Mrs
Morey, whllo Mr. Morey took a seal
with the driver on the box. A few mln
utes later they went rumbling over the
village streets nt a brisk pace. Th(
old fashioned rocknway swayed frorc
side to side, and the children clung tc
each other in silence. Suddenly the
bus -swung around the corner, and tlx
village scenery was .left behind. Rollli
roused his sister, who bad burled hei
bead in her mother's lap. "Look, Lulse,'
he shouted, "the mountains! They're
right on usl" r
An 'Occasional "Obi" from one of tin
children announced some new dlscov
ery. They were -all entranced wltt
the beauties oihthls strange scenery, so
Jlffereut from the flat, level country
tvhlch they bad always known. '
Thougli.tbe. high mountains iSeemed
very wonderful at first to1 the children,
they soon became accustomed to them,

long green vine in response to his fa

"Rnr." drawled the mountain child,
"bon't you af eared of that poison ivy?"
"wiiv it min't lmrni me any, can

"Rntker cuess it can." she replied.

"Waal, it's poison, to begin with, and

when it swells it hurts. Gee, don't it

she said derisively. " 'Cause if you bo
I'm goln' to show you some things ns'll
scare you!"
Before Rollin could control his fea
tures enough to deny tho charge Mr.
Morey came up. When he learned
what had caused tho trouble, ho sooth
ed the children's fear nnd promised
that the vine would not poison, for it
wasn't ivy nt all, hut just harmless
wood vine. The mountain girl chuc
kled. "That's the way we tell tender
foots up here," she said, her eyes beam
ing with mischief. "They're always
skeered to death. Bo you Mr. Morey,
what's come from tho west?" she ques
tioned, suddenly turning to Itollin's fa
ther. "Why, yes," ho replied hesitatingly.
"Who are you?"
"Waal, I'm pa's gal. Ho sent me
flown to meet you. Old Dollle, that'a
our horse, broke a leg yesterday, and
pn(s a-settln it. I'll take you up."
Having delivered the message, she
continued, "Who be them kids?"
"These, are my son arid daughter," bo
replied, pointing nut nollin nnd Lulse,
"nnd these are their cousins, Roxy
nnd Ethelbert. I'm sorry to hear nbuut

you not to lose thorn."

The announcement was so stran

very hearty, although meant to be sin

ins were rods away from tho telltnle

shouting: "Three cheers for the Mo

The lllRhcr Uttcs of Treed
Most people have formed the habit ol
talkiuK about shade trees, fruit trees
nnd lumber as if shade, fruit nnd build
ing materials were all for which the
trees were good. Of course the nrtistic
eye looks at them for beauty, the onto
mologist as harbors for insects and the
botanist for herbarium specimens, but
the true lover of the tree thinks of it
in its wide value to all living things in
tho universe.
Though trees lack the power of voli
tion nnd have no nervous system in
the ordinary sense of the word, they
are highly organized forms of Ufa
They accomplish a vast amount of ac
tual work in a day nnd earn their liv
ing as surely ns you or I do. Theii
work is the world's work of tho unself
ish kind. They struggle for self preser
vation nnd the perpetuation of theli
species; they return to the soil and tc
the atmosphere materials loaned them
for food; they are altruistic in provid
ing an abundance of fruit for the use
of others; they furnish grateful shade
to man and beast, are the refuge ol
birds and insects and add to the beautj
of nature.

A local wit was ono day discussing
the mental incapacity of editors with
tho Into H. 0. Bunner.
"Now," said he, "what do you think
of this: I used to write serious nnd
comic mntter for a certain dnily, which
paid mo 20 a column for the humor

dny the editor asked me to mark my
comic things 'C nnd my serious sto

might tell them apart Wasn't that

"No," replied Bunner, with a smile
and a twinkle in his eye, "but It "was
