Let us hope this agreement will be followed by another peace treaty between the disgruntled sportsmen of Portland and the new game commission, whereby grievances, real and imaginary, are compromised, and harmony rule game affairs. General Leonard Wood is veritable "Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines." In his political campaign he wears his military uniform, is accompanied by a staff in military uniform and a son in military uniform, devotes most of his speeches to military mat ters. Being a hero of the dress parade is doubtless consolation for not being a hero of the battle field. "I have no campaign and no campaign fund. I am not a can didate and not seeking office." says Mr. Hoover, in reply to in quiries as to campaign expenditures. Moreover he hasn't any party and no one wants him but the people. Every vote cast for General Wood and Governor Lowden in South Dakota primaries cost $10, according to Senator Borah's statement in the senate where does it come from? Kuntucky tobacco growers ar enow burning the other fellow's crops to keep up prices. The greed of the profiteer stops at nothing.

Mr. Crow lumped. And so did every body else. But before the party had time to scatter. Major Monkey peep ed from behind a neighboring tree and uttered a piercing whistle. "Don't go friends!" Mr. Crow cried to his companions. "Here he is now! Here's Major Monkey himself. That's At a signal from Mr. Crow, the Woodchuck brothers stepped forward and started to whistle a lively tune, called "Clover Blossoms." Being very fond of clover blossoms, the musicians began whistling In a most spirited fashion. But ihey had bad luck. Though m did not know the tune, Major Monkey insisted on whistling, too.

"Isn t thtrn going to be anything to eat?" Fatty Coon asked him anxious;-. - Mr. Crow shook his head. "It really doesn't matter," he said, talking very fast. "You know. I in-' vlted everybtdy to meet my old friend, Major Monkey. And he,re he is, all ready to tell you about his travels. But first we'll have a little music." It was now the Major's turn to look ueasy.

John went out of the door and as he turned to close, I caught a glimpse of his face. Over it had settled that gray gray cloud that I had always dreaded and since the first month of my mar riage had learned to fear. Some way I didn't fear today as much as usunl. Perhaps the sudden shock of my moth er's death had deadened my nervesv I Just seemed to be determined that I would go my way, at least have person ality of my own In the future. John came back after he had had breakfast, and his first speech served to anger me more than any he huu made before we went downstairs. "1 can see that Helen Van Ness Guy lord hus gotten you into this rebellious frame of mind. I don't feel any differ ently about her than I did, and 1 am very much put out to find Gaylord and his wife here I told you that I did not want you to have anything to do with her, and 1 reiterate my desire In the matter. Of course, until we leave for your mother's home, where your cou sin Charlie has decided that the funer ul shall be held, we can both be polite to Guylord and the woman he married. Hut after that after we return home I shall expect you to cut her off your list." StA Going to Quarrel. "I have said, John, that I was not going to quarrel with you. and I am trying very hard not to. But when I contrast the way that Helen Gnylord hus helped me and and comforted me, and gone out of her way to be nice to me during the time that we have beeu down here together, with your selfish nous in leaving me entirely alone and not even writing lite, 1 nm going to tell you that 1 shall never give her up." Jphn's jaw set, and I trembled a lit tle until, catching his eye, I saw him waver Just a tiny little bit. Then he said: "And If 1 should ask you to choose between us .... ?" In my heart I knew that he lino, w temind lo snv that you will have to I could almost have smiled even in my grief and despair, when I realized that my husband was afraid to put me to the test. Like all bullies he was a coward, and I wondered if I would not have been happier If I had taken a de termined Btand earlier in my married life. Prevknm Promise Recalled. "But, I, too, did not want to come to the parting of the way and so I ans wered: "You are not going to ask mu to choose, John, any more than I asked you to choose between Eliza beth Moreland and me, a few months ago.
