the gift he has made to the many people who will never
see those twin peaks at first hand and the pleasure the
photographer himself must have derived from his camera
quest. It was a kind of a game for him, and there was as
much fun in the playing as in the winning. In those fif
teen years he must have learned a great deal about moun
tain photography. He has seen the twin peaks under
many conditions and in varied asDects. a iov to the true
lover of mountains and sky and clouds. He probably has
secured many interesting and beautiful photographs of
other views. He has got out of his quest a big fund of
neaiin ana natural enjoyment, and added vastly to the
interest of life.
A good many persons who are inclined to stick too
close to business and the humdrum things of the daily
routine would be healthier and happier if they would go
out on a similar quest, adapted only to their tastes and
ability, and the opportunities at hand.

. It may seem rather cumbersome to take the transcon
tinental flight with so much terrestial impediment, but
this means keeping on the safe side in a new field where,
after all, little is really known yet of the possibilities.
The slowness, the apparently, fussy details which at
tend such an expedition correspond to the chain of naval
ships which held the path for the seaplane venture. They
may seem less "sporting" than blind jumps into the un
known. Dredging a channel is less of a sporting affair
ihan diving into the channel; but it is probably more pro
ductive in the long'i-un, and is apt to increase the pleas
ure and safety of future divers.

RIPPLING RHYMES
By Wait Mason
THE COMMON PEOPLE.
The common people round me troop, the Toms and
Dicks and Harrys; one builds himself a nice new coop,
one dies, another marries. The banker's clad in gaudy
rigs, his bank has marble portals; the hostler curries
down his nags, and both are common mortals. The tin
smith makes our motor cars, the blacksmith works his
bellows, the poet soars among the stars, and all are com
mon fellows. We all are equal at our birth, one kid's just
like another; and when we tumble off the earth, what
nan's above another? I walk along the churchyard aisles,
i nd, pensive, muse and ponder; the granite's reared in
costly piles above that grove o'er yonder; and there a poor
man sleeps alone, a friendless wight and .daffy, above his
head & simple stone, devoid of epitapby, NAnd both are
sleeping just the same, the poor man and the Croesus; on
earth they played the common game, and now they're gone
tn pieces. In youth we all are gay and vain, in middte age
we're sober; and all of us have ache and pain when life
"lias reached October. The king, who has God given right
ffl l n nation's master, must leave his downy couch at
night to hunt a porous plaster. It makes me tired to hear
n.e talk of strata and of classes; we're just the plain old
: human flock, we're just the common masses.

Hard on their protest against the Plumb plan of rail
road administration, or any other system savoring of
other than private ownership, the owners of the railroads
through the Association of Railway Executives are asking
that the present rates and government guarantee of a
standard return be continued until conditions again be
come normal. , In short, the .railroad owners, seeing a
stormy period of readjustment ahead, are .; asking the
people of the country to underwrite theirfight and take
whatever the railroads wish to offer in, return, Such, a
proposition would listen good to almost "aify business man
with a large capital invested-just at this time, but it don't
sound just like good government. '

Hunting A Husband
BY MARY DOUGLAS
THE AMETHYST RINO
MIAiPTKR XL.VIU
T sat on.n pile of old magazines. Tho
bell rung. 1. blew the hair out of my
eves. I tried to cleau my smudged race
with a dusty handkerchief. 1 tore off
niv apron and flung it behind tho door.
Jt was Jeanne, Jeanne at her love
so sensible to come to you if I want
advice or anything, ' You 're like his
sister. And I do want you to help me.
Can't you just tell "Tom-s-not from mo
of coursi" but, well you fix it up
that I just can't stand this old ring.
It was his mother's. Just an bid ame
thyst. Who cares if it was his mothers.
1 want a great, big, sparkling diamond.
I won 't go on being engaged if 1 can 't
have a stunning ring!"
What came next; wa so sudden so
unexplained that it scarcelv seemed
real. I. know 1 clutched the side of my
chair. '
Por there stood Tom'V At the end ot
liest so carelessly dressed, yet with tho room. His face was inexpressible,
white with anger cold, terrible anger.
"Give it . to me!" he said. Then
again, "Give me the ringl"
"O Tom, dear, I didu t mean"
Tom's face had changed. But I did
not like to see tho look in his eyes. A
disillusioned look'. A bitter look.
He held out his hand. His lips were
closed in a Btmight, hard line.
Jeanne pulled off the amethyst ring
She looked at Tom with little curl
of those pretty Hps,- She just nodded
to me. She was gone.
I could say nothing to Tom. I did
not know what to nay. No banalities,
no sympathy would suffice. 8till the
hard look on- his face. The tight Hue
of his lips had not relaxed.
Then, before I knew it, I said the
word out loud, "I'm so glad Tom!"
His whole expression changed. Surprise
swept over his face. He turned. The
front door closed behind him. Ho, too,
wat gone. v
And I was left on a pile of dusty
magaiines. w ith
such cure, nue was in UlacK. rToin it,
her blonde prettiuoss stood out in
charming couttast. Beautiful luce foil
away from her sleuder thrnnt. Her hair
glenmed mideT the soft darkness of her
hat. .
She sat on a straight chair In the
curtaiuless room. Its bareness Made
her the more bewitching.
Her hands were clasped listlessly on
the black dress. On one finger was a
ring, beautiful and odd.
"What an unusual ring," I said.
"Oh, that, that is my engagement
ring," her voice was emotionless.
"iour engagement ring! " 1 could
not repress the little gasp in my voice.
" Yes; didn 't you know that I 'm en
gssred to Tom Angus!" ' .
It was not she that colored. It was
1. Tom engaged! I had an awful feeling
-as if I were left alone in an. empty
world. Though, of course, Tom is only
my old pal. : ; . .
Then I forgot myself. Fur across
Jeanne's face had come a look of tag-
