MR. STIMSON
TAMES and his aunt and rand-
mother bad Jn.t seated themselves
t ths breakfast table ths ladles
only making a pretense of eating
when Tom, after bringing a load of
wood for the fireplaces, came to the
llnlng-room door and lingered there,
cap In band.
Tom bowed to the two ladles In
ardor of their seniority. "Good morn
ing. Missus. Morning, Miss Sarahej,"
bs said and then turned to James.
"Good morning. Mister SUmjon,"
bs added Impresslvelj.
James Jumped In bis chair and
lava a hurried Involuntary glance
toward bis grandfather's empty
place at the table. To be sura Tom
bad never called bis master anything
bat the Governor In James' remem
brance but there was no other "MIS'
ter" present
"Who are you calling Mister
me?" asked James rather gruffly,
partly to break the loud silence and
partly to bide his perturbation. It
was all be could do to speak at all.
"Yes, sir," answered Tom. "Mo
and Aunt Lou been's talklug It over
and we havo Jointly came to the
decision that It ain't fltten that we
should go on calling you James
same as we did when you was a
baby." Tom stopped for a moment
to steady his voire, "You're the head
of the family now," he added wist
fully. James turned a bright red and
fidgeted In bis chair. Ha bad to tight
to keep the tears back, but at the
same time he felt a sudden rush of
pride warming something frozen In
side of him. He turned appealing,
half-frlgbtened eyes toward his
grandmother, not knowing Just how
, she wonld take this.
Grandmother, with a pitifully
brave little smile si.ved both tho oc
casion and Tom'a fcellngB.
"Tom Is right," she said gonlly.
"He always looks out for us. You
are the head of the family now. dear,
and ... I believe your grandfather
would like It ... If you . . . would
take his chair ... at the head of the
table."
JAMES turned even redder and
might have sniffled If Tom.
whose manners were patterned after
thoso of his beloved master's, had
not stepped forward and drawn bark
the empty chnlr with a grace and
dignity that oven the elder James
eould not have surpassed.
Aunt I.ou. coming In with the bis
cuits, found James seated at the
head of the table, and all three Stlm
sons and Tom as well on the verge
Of tenrs. James, however, felt that as
he was now a man ond the head of
bis family It was up to him to acsert
himself at once and cave (he situa
tion. "Look here. Aunt Lou." he a.ked
briskly. "Are you In on this Mister
business, too?"
"Yes, Indeedy, Mlfter Stlnifon,"
answered Aunt Ixtu gravely and as
Aunt Lou had cradled him. rooked

James gave a sudden nervous giggle
and the two ladles smiled wanly.
Tbey got through the breakfast
somehow, but after that James' place
was always laid opposite bis grand
mother'a and James always sat
there In the big carved blgb-backed
oak chair with the maroon leather
seat.
That chair typified then for James
and forever after more than he could
have put into words, it was In a way
his throne and sceptre, the symbol
of all his grandfather atood for and
bad passed on to him as a trosu
He bad the weight of a thousand
worlds on his shoulders that winter
while be learned only too surely
that grief and suffering and loneli
ness were no more to be spared i
Stlmson than the lowliest of de
pendents. for James had no more than be
gun to reallzo that his grandfather
would never again come striding
through the wide front door of the
house be had bullded than bis
grandmother auddenly bad a stroka.
THEY thought tor one whole nlgbt
that sha was gone from them.
Doctor Fox pulled her through,
much to the old lady's undisguised
Indignation. When the doctor, dur-
lng his third visit, sat down by his
patient's bed and assured her
heartily that ho would soon have
her up and about, Mrs. Stlmson re
garded blm almost spitefully.
"1 had made other plans," she
said with much Injured dignity and
turned her face away from him.
Sarah waa permitted to carry out
those "other plans" a few weeks
later. "She was tired In many moons
and her moccasins wore ouL" James
and his Aunt Sarah, with breaking
hearts, laid her to rest between ths
husband she had toved so tenderly
all the days of her married life and
her son, the beloved Doctor Jim,
who had gone before ber to mak
the way plain.
A week or two after the second
funeral aomeone sent Miss Sarab
Stlmson a great bunch of fragrant
English violets. It was Saturdaj
and Jamos was ..onie from school
lie wns In the library ploughing
through "David Cnpperfield" as II
his life depended upon finishing It
although he had already read It
twice.
Miss Sarah came In and seated
herself on the opposite sldo of thi i
tiro, the lavender florist's box mat I
lng a splotch of color on her hlack
lap. James looked up, said "Hello,1' '
ond went on reading. ;
"James Jlhi." said Miss Surnb
timidly, "I can't go to the cemetery
today bemuse of my cold. 1 though! '
perhaps . . . Just this once yoo
would go In .ny place."
"I'd rather not."
"Rut you've never heen. not sines i

It's a lovely day . . . almost llkt j

"I'd rather not." .Tames repented 1
gruffly, his eyes still burled In hli ,

"Mother .vas so fond of violets,"
Miss tf.irab got out. "1 can't bear . . .
I can't hear her not to have them."
James raided his heed. "Aunt

WASHINGTON, March 31. (APt
Although the Oregon legislature
baa authorized the purchase of Ore
gon timber under the Weeks act. the
United States forest service has no
definite program for such action and
no money la Immediately available
for such use.
One responsible source In the for
est service said there appears to be
some question whether the Oregon
act meets the requirements of the
Weeks act.
In any event, congress appropri
ated no money for timber purchases
under the Weeks act and plana fur
acquiring available timber lands will
await such appropriation. Even then,
the money may not necessarily be
spent In Oregon. It will be allotcd
In lump sums and the forest service
will use It "where the terms are the
most advantageous to the United
States." .
