THE REUNION
By GLORIA RODGERS
The suu had long since disappeared
beneath the horizon, but there still lin
gered in the west a fuint tinge of red.
Patty Roberts patted her horse lov
ingly as she gazed toward the low
spreading house In the distance.
"Dear old Joe, you've traveled a
long way today. We'll soon be home,
though. See, Joe, there It Is now, and
Caroline has a light in every window.
I suppose she thinks we're lost."
The low, rambling house was not far
away, faintly discernible lu the dusk
uestlihg among a few trees. It was
homelike and cheery In appearance.
Patty Roberts was staying with a
former school chum, Caroline Fen
wick, who had come to Hayton after
finishing her course. Patty had been
a strenuous worker during the dsrk
days of the war, dividing her time be
tween Red Cross workrooms and host
ess work at the various cantonments,
and now that everything was bright
again, she had come out to her chum's
for a much needed rest.
As the fuithful Joe picked his way
slowly along the trail for though the
night was bright, poor Joe was tired
and sleepy, Putty gazed across the
moonlit stretch of hind. Her eyes were
a bit wistful as siie watched a star
swiftly shoot across the sky leaving
a shiny path behind. She sighed.
Then, as if giving music to her
thoughts, she softly began to sing.
Her voice, sweet and clear, rose on
the night air, and as she ended she
sighed again and patting Joe said,
somewhat wistfully, "Well, Joe, I
guess we'd better he hurrying or Car
oline will have a searching party out
for us." Gathering up the reins and
turning down toward the lighted house
in the distance, Joe's hoof heats were
soon out of hearing.
Unknown to Patty she had n audi
ence wlille she was singing.
Rob Cutler was returning from his
chum's house and ho, too, was enjoying
the beauty of the night, when Patty's
voice had come to him on the breeze.
He drove his horse forward between
a cluster of stunted trees and bushes
until he could fairly perceive the sing
er and her horse In the moonlight.
Where had he heard that song before?
As he listened the soft sounds of the
night and the music of the girl's voice
was changed to the sweet strains of a
waltz and he was dancing again In the
lighted ballroom of the hotel. He was
living over again that night when he
had found the girl who had won his
heart completely.
And as Patty's voice died away and
he heard her speak to her horse, Bob's
heart leaped. "It couldn't be! but it
does sound Vkp her voice." he mut
tered. Then ne, too, turned his horse
and soon was far along the trail which
led to his home, about two miles away.
But, as he rode, his thoughts lingered
about the girl of his dreams. "Just n
drenni, that's all," thought Bob bitter
ly. "There's no use hoping I'll ever see
her again."
He had been Rtatloned at a naval
training camp and had only recently
come home. He was glad to he back
at his home again, but at times he
longed for the place where he hail
spent so many happy months. Life had
been rather dull and lonely in the
large school for the first few months,
but one night, at "a dance given for
the boys In the service, he had met a
girl with whom he had fallen deeply
and Irrevocably In love, but although
he never saw her afterwards, the hope
that he might some day meet her
again brightened his days, that were
long and monotonous. As the days
went by, and still no traces of her, he
didn't give up hope until he had ob
tained his discharge and was speed
ing to his- home.
One afternoon, about a week later,
Caroline called to Patty as she was
coming out of the barn, where she
had been saddling Joe, preparatory to
going to the postoflice. "Patty, be sure
and hurry home, because we're going
to have somebody nice here fur sup
per. He's coming especially to meet
you, so you must hurry and be home
In time to put on your prettiest dress."
Caroling had Invited Bob Cutler over
to meet her guest, and he, wishing to
oblige Caroline, whom be hud known
as a playmate all his life, declared, of
course, he'd be delighted.
"All right, dear," Patty answered,
"I'll be there, if I don't get lost in the
meanwhile. I do hope he's good look
ing." she added in a teasing voice.
True to her word, Patty returned In
time to array herself in a becoming
dress of pale blue ruffled muslin
which just matched the lovely blue of
her eyes. Siie was a pretty picture
of youth and daintiness as she enter
ed tlie living room soon after the ex
pected guest arrived.
. "Patty, dear, this is Mr. Cutler why,
1 believe you two have met before!"
she exclaimed as Bob jumped from hip
chair and grasped Patty's hands.
"Miss Roberts." he exclaimed, "I
can't believe It !"
"I never suspected It?" Caroline de
clared, as, watching Patty's blushing
face and shining eyes and Bob's exalt
ed expression, she retreated In the di
rection of tlie dining room.
"Just a minute, Caroline," called
Bob. "I want you to meet my Dream
Girl. The girl whose Image has been In
my heart for a year. I had given up
hopes f ever seeing her again, and
now I have her. Pin not ever going
to let her go again!" he added, still
holding Putty's hands in a determined
grasp.

The value of the increased food sup

more than the price of the vegetables.

MAKES FOR BETTER CITIZENS
And That Is Only One of the Reasons
Why Home Ownership Should
Bt Encouraged.
It will be n great and good thing
for the American people If the thrift
habits formed during the active wa
period be turned to the wholesome
business of extending home owner
ship.
The preferred communities In which
to rear and educate families are those
wherein the percentage of home own
ershlp as compared with tenantry Is
large. Proprietorship, or the process
of acquiring proprietorship, begets a
active Individual Interest In communi
ty development.
Owning realty Implies the payment
of taxes, and every taxpayer naturally
Is zealous that his money paid for
this purpose shall be used to the very
best advantage. He cannot be proper
ly true to Ids own Interests without
using hi vote to put into office men
who have a high conception of admin
istrative stewardship.
Home ownership contributes to Mn
blllty of population and to bet fir
neighborship. It puts family life on
a firmer base and mixes Its stnndnrds.
It makes, therefore, for a high quallt
of citizenship, and (hat in turn yield
rich dividends materially und ethically,
Homo ownership sharpens the sense
of Individual rcsHitixlhlllty In com
munity tiphulhlliiE. It enhance self
respect mid breeds n vivid conscious
hciM of moral and civic partnership.
SILVER IS KING IN ARIZONA
Best Country Fence. j
Nothing adds more to the attractive
ness and artistic charms of a country
home than a beautiful hedge fence
which also is a protection to the lawn
and garden. A low woven-wire fence. '
with Dorothy Perkins roses, bitter
sweet, French honeysuckle, or Jap
anese clematis planted three .feet
apart, will soon be a hedge of beauty.
But better than these (for you do
not need the wire fence) is a hedge of
Japanese barberry. It Is absolutely
lardy, a fast grower, makes a dense
bodge, can be sheared to any desired
shape, and Is attractive in any season
while the others lose their beauty In
the fall.
Do not confuse the Japanese barber
ry with the common barberry, against
which there Is a federal quarantine,
because it is understood to curry wheat
rust. The Japanese burberry can lie
purchased of any nursery man very
cheaply. Small plants set out two feet
apart make a thrift fence serving two
purposes, protection and ornamenta
tion. Thrift Magazine.
Old and New Mines Are Being Opened
After Peace Brought Slump
in Copper.
Silver is king again in Arizona. s:iy.
C. P. lielnlger, president of the As
sociation of Arizona Mining Men, ac
cording to tlie Philadelphia Ledger's
Phoenix correspondent. With the cop
per market stagnant as a result of the
cessation of war requirements, the de
mands for white metal are pouring in
from all quarters of the globe. Many
of the producers are replacing their
copper handling equipment with
plants to turn out silver.
"There Is a big demand for silver
In China and Indin." says George D.
Bethune of Globe. "The United States
government Is filling It at $1 an ounce,
the same price at which It Is supplying
21X1.0(10,0(10 ounces of the metal to the
British government on contract."
Years ago. when Tombstone was at
the height of lis fame, Arizona was a
great silver producer. Then came the
slump. Copper was discovered. Last
year, according to the estimate of the
United States geological survey, Ari
zona produced $192,000,000 worth of
copper. "Give us copper," was the
cry from the United States and the
allies.
With the armistice conditions
changed overnight. One billion pounds
of copper, more than a third of which
was Arizona production, are estimated
to be awaiting sale. So copper is
down and silver Is up.
Surveys of the state indicate that in
the Prescott and Tucson mines silver
predominates over the other metuls;
In Bisbee, Jerome, Globe and Ajo Its
values a a by-product run heavily.
From the neighborhood of Prescott
come reports of the revival of old sil
ver mines. Battle Flat, scene of a
sanguinary Indian fight in the seven
ties, Is reported to have yielded new
discoveries of sliver, and two fresh
camps have been opened on this spur
of the northern slope of the Brad-shaws.

Life In Other Planets.
M.reotil truthfully says that many
of the planets are much older than
ours: therefore, beings, who dwell
thereon oiiglit to possess vast funds
of information thut would be of In
calculable value to us poor mortals.
He makes this reasonable statement
In n recent Interview: "It Is silly to
assert that other planets are uninhab
ited because they have no atmosphere
or are so hot or otherwise totally dif
ferent from the earth. If there were
no fish 'n the sea, we would maintain
to our last breath that life therein
was impossible." That is a reason
able assertion.
