BOY WANTED.
‘Wanted a boy that is manly,
A boy that is kind and polite,
A boy you can always depend on
To do what he knows is right.
A boy that is truthful and honest
And faithful and willing to work;
But we have not a place that we care to
disgrace
With a boy that is ready to shirk.
‘Wanted—a boy you can tie to,
A boy that is trusty and true,
A boy that is good to old people
And kind to the little ones, too.
A boy that is nice to home folk
And pleasant to sister and brother,
A boy who will try when things go awry
To be helpful to father and mother.
These are the boys we depend on—
Our hope for the future, and then
Grave problems of State and the world’s
work await
Such boys when they grow to be imen.
—Exchange.
SUNRISE.
(Concluded from last week.)
Nothing could have been more sur-
prising to David or to Shalmir than
that they should meet on the road the
next morning. He was on his way to
the Club House with the check, and
she and her Indian were walking,
leading their horses, her feet trim in
brown riding boots, she herself like
a boy in tailored breeches, waistcoat,
and cap.
“Come along, go with me,” he said.
“It’s a lovely ride.”
“All right,” she nodded. “Arthur’s
gone till late to-night.”
They sent back the Indian and went
on together. David picked a branch
of cedar and she sniffed it joyously,
and pinned a bit on her vest. They
stopped for a drink at Water Cress
Spring, and he held her curls back
while she reached down to the swift,
cold water. The country mail man
passed them—his jogging old horse.
“Howdy, folks,” he called.
Shalmir waved at him and carried
him a drink in the broken spring cup.
“Got a package fer ya’ in the back
seat yere,” he said. David reached for
it. “La Touche, Paris,” he read.
“Oh!” Shalmir cried, a little flutter
of joy. “That’s my wedding dress!”
a David fastened the box to his sad-
e.
The day was cool and warm and
" sweet, a wild scent of purple flowers
along the road, birds piping from
fence caps, little, rushing, overfed
streams, log bridges. . ....
Shalmir whipped off her cap and
threw her head to the wind.
“David,” she said, “if you could be
anywhere in the world this minute—
where would you choose ?”
He looked at that little girl riding
beside him; looked beyond her at pur-
ple hills, purple trees.
“Pd choose—Sky Valley!” Dave
Dakin said, and smiled just a little.
Everything was gay at the Club
House—colors flying—green boughs
going up.
Fyedays the great party,” David
said.
He sent their ponies around, took
the box, Shalmir’s wedding dress, and,
arm in arm, they went up the steps,
fifty steps to the cedar log villa—
wide porches, open living-room, fire-
place, dining-room. David turned
Shalmir facing the valley and told her
where they were, what was below
them, all about the place—its log
walls, big spaces, men’s comfort.
It was lunch time. When they
crossed the porch—Shalmir’s arm in
his, her fluff of shining hair, tailored
riding clothes—every eye admired her
openly. Fifer came forward to meet
them. David delivered Dorf’s check,
and Fifer was delighted. He inslst-
ed, then, that they stay for the even-
ing.
“I won’t hear of your leaving!” he
said. “You shall have rooms, Send
for your clothes. A maid for Miss
Shalmir.”
Someone started the piano.
“In fact,” he laughed, “we’ll begin
the evening right now!” He whirled
Shalmir out on the floor, and David
watched them dance. Everyone
watched them dance—she so lovely.
Fifer told her he’d heard what a
song bird she was. He lifted her on
the piano and called out that she was
going to sing. The crowd came
around, and she sang, with cheers of
applause—jesting songs, negro, “gos-
pels,” quaint, twanging Brazilian mel-
odies, jazz tunes, little tear-drop
things. At last, breathless, she stop-
ped, swung down on the floor laugh-
ing.
“There’s somebody here I want to
be introduced to,” she said, hesitat-
ing a moment. Then she smiled. “I'ts
you,” she said, and walked directly
to where that dark-haired girl with
crimson lips stood leaning against the
piano.
So Fifer introduced Sonia Banzhaf,
and told Shalmir she was a dancer at
Sky Valley Inn.
Mr. Fifer sent a boy for David's
evening clothes—a message to the
colonel not to expect him for dinner—
and Shalmir said she thought her box
from Paris would have a gown she
could wear. In the late afternoon
then, in the room Fifer had prepared
for her, David opened the box. That
was a quaint little room—Dbare, fresh
scented pine wood, unfinished walls,
scraps of pine cones blowing in on the
floor. David unfolded the wedding
dress—white satin, misty veil; put
them in Shalmir’s hands; watched her
swift, eager fingers.
“The other dress is pink,” he told
her, “and pink slippers and stockings.
It’s made of pink pieces all put to-
gether.”
The dress was rose, petals fastened
with silver.
“I'll wear that to-night,” she said.
“I'm sorry Arthur went away.”
In evening clothes David was hand-
some—very much at ease. Shalmir
was late. The music had been play-
ing an hour when David still was
waiting for her. The place was a
rainbow of color and light—banjos
—
and saxophones—a bit of life, there
on the side of that mountain, like a
comet tail out of the sky.
And while David waited—Arthur
Kimby came, immaculate, debonair.
Sonia wore a black spangled dress
that caught the light like black fire—
scarlet earrings, scarlet lips. Arthur
didn’t see David there. He saw only
Sonia, and they were dancing, he and
Sonia, his arms close around her, when
Shalmir Dorf came across the balcony
at the head of the stairs and stood
there, silver, gold, pink, like a pale
cloud, or a blown rose that seems just
too fair for hands to touch.
Everyone felt her there. Everyone
turned to watch her. Arthur Kimby
stopped short on the dance floor—
drew back against the wall, and stood
motionless as David went to Shalmir,
brought her down, and into the dance.
Between dances they walked on the
veranda—speckled stars, wind croon-
ing in the pines, broken rhythm of a
waterfall. Arthur Kimby avoided
them, though once on the dance floor
they passed so close that Shalmir’s
dress brushed his shoulder. Every-
one wanted her; but David kept her to
himself. Then, finally, Fifer insist-
ed. David drew him aside with the
pretense of a cigar. -
“Shalmir Dorf is to marry Arthur
Kimby,” David said shortly.
“Kimby!” Fifer exclaimed. “Why,
Kimby’s here with that dancer!”
“Shalmir doesn’t know it,” Dave
said, “and I want to spare her. She
doesn’t know Kimby is here at all, so
—yvou understand me?” )
“I understand what you mean—cer-
tainly,” Fifer replied; “but she ought
to know! Why don’t you tell her!”
“Because—she loves him,” David
said.
Fifer looked out into the starry
night, then back at Shalmir, waiting
there, that pale little cloud. He nod-
ded slowly.
“Yes,” he said. “I see!”
David saw Arthur and Sonia on the
steps looking into the Valley. He
went down to them.
“Kimby,” he said, “how long are
you going on with this?”
Deliberately Kimby inhaled and ex-
haled the puff of a cigarette.
“] wonder if you are inquiring,” he
said, “as a curious observer—or as a
rival 7” He threw his cigarette over
into the grass. “Shall we dance? he
asked the girl beside him.
David and Shalmir rode home in the
moon and the darkness, saying little
—her pony nosing his—his hand guid-
ing hers. A car passed them, Arthur
Kimby in the back seat. When they
got home Arthur was waiting for
them alone in the library.
Shalmir tumbled joyously into his
arms—then, with a puzzled little ex-
pression, felt across his shoulders;
tucked shirt, satin vest—
“Why, you’re—you’re wearing even-
ing clothes,” she said.
“Yes,” he told her.
of coming after you.”
David put down the box of her wed-
ding dress.
“Good night, Shalmir,” he said.
She went to the door with him—
put her hand inte his fingers that
David suddenly felt were trembling—
das he suddenly caught against his
ips. ‘es.
Sonia Banzhaf went away from the
Inn, went East, Fifer said. Arthur
was very careful of Shalmir, very
thoughtful of her, constantly with her.
The traction project went on. Dorf
was as good as his word; he made
Arthur Kimby superintendent. Three
weeks later, with the wedding of Shal-
mir and Arthur only ten days away,
David heard from Dorf that Arthur
had gone hunting with some men from
the East. Arthur hadn’t known just
where they were going, but a lumber-
jack had met them on the trail to Car
Cabin, Dorf said.
Car Cabin stood alone along the
Rattle-snake Range in Silver Gully.
Old Car had lived there and died
there, and now hunters helped them-
selves to its bunks and old shelter—
followed a narrow trail through silver
birch trees to the sagging log walls,
broken window frames, stone fire hole.
The hunters would go there with food,
matches, and blankets.
Midnight, twenty-four hours after
that lumberjack had told where Ar-
thur Kimby was, someone beat on the
door of the colonel’s home, calling
David.
“The forest is burning! They want
the ditch rider! The rangers are out
and we've got to dam the head gates,
or back-fire!” :
David dressed while his father sad-
dled the cayuse and called the serv-
ants. Against the dark side of thé
Rattlesnake dull red and gray show-
ed, like a cloud against black sky—
haze of red everywhere, smell of resin,
smoke of leaves and wood. Over the
stillness of the night, as over still
water, came the sound of people
shouting. Lights were up and down
the mountainside!
It is the forest rangers and ditch
riders who call men out to fight fires!
“She’s been burnin’ so slow all day
nobody knowed there was any dan-
ger,” the man shouted to David as they
rode. Bits of gray ash filled the air
—came against their faces. “But now
she’s comin’ like Hell turned loose,
straight down the Rattlesnake! We
won’t stand no more chance’n Judg-
ment Day if we don’t git her turned
back soon!”
Against the darkness red was
crawling down over the gray—flames
breaking through like the spit of
guns! When they came to where the
forest rangers were waiting for Dave,
a hundred men had already gathered
in the fitful light by the side of the
road—smoke-filled air, falling ashes,
fire coming mile by mile!
“There’s only one thing to do,
Dave,” the ranger said. “Drive it
straight back up the mountain! Noth-
ing will save us being swept clean
out, unless we back-fire and turn the
course. Straight back through Silver
Gully! Right, Dave?”
“Yes,” Dave answered. “Through
Sizer Gully. Back-fire and drive it
up
The line of men went silently by
like an army of ants—that red glow
on their faces; the air hot, dense,
smoke-filled. And Silver Gully was—
Car Cabin. David didn’t think of Ar-
thur Kimby being there because of
“I was thinking
Arthur Kimby—but he thought of it
because of Shalmir’s face when he
had given her that bridal veil—her
groping, joyous hands— :
“Fred,” he said to the ranger who
was turning, with his ax, after the
men already gone, “the superinténd-
ent of the new Traction Company is
in Car Cabin!”
The ranger looked up—swore under
his breath, drew his hand across his
eyes.
“Seems like murder, Dave,” he said;
“but—is there anything else to do?”
“Nothing else,” David answered.
“But the old prospect hole of King
Kelly Mine goes twelve hundred feet
through from Crow’s Foot to Silver
Gully, and if I can be spared—TI’ll try
to go through for him. He’s with
Easterners who don’t know that old
shaft. It is murder!”
“But the fire’s almost down to
Crow’s Foot now,” the ranger said,
staring at David; “and maybe Kelly's
Hole isn’t open. Nobody’s been there
in five years!”
“With your permission, I'll take the
chance,” David said.
“All right, Dave,” the ranger an-
swered, and that was all.
David turned his pony straight up
the mountain, and rode harder than
he had ever ridden in his life before—
toward that smell, thicker, closer—
toward that sickening heat—toward
that crackle of burning timber—to-
ward where he could see flames crawl-
ing, and low curling smoke—till
Crow’s Foot was less than fifty feet
away. Then he swung to the ground,
turned that cayuse back down the road
to safety, and cut straight into the
forest!
It was blinding, stinging through
those trees—heat—smoke—hot ashes.
But at last he felt the air of the open-
ing into ground that was Kelley's
shaft, saw the smoke sucking back,
and felt gratefully into the dark.
Damp shored timbers, mud, rock,
darkness for a thousand stumbling
feet—then air, sky, Car Cabin!
A cook fire was smoldering on the
stones, someone lying on the ground
in a blanket. David went there, look-
ed down at who it was. Sonia Banz-
haf,
“What—who is it ?” she cried, catch-
ing her breath—sitting up, startled
—dark hair falling over her face. Ar-
thur Kimby came out of the cabin.
“What do you want?” he said.
“Who are you looking for? The men
have gone.” Then he saw it was
Dave.
“Well,” he said,
want ?”
“The forest is burning. They are
back-firing this way.” David said as
few words as he could say. “There
is only one way you can get through,
so I came to take you away from—
cremation.”
Arthur Kimby turned and stared
down at the mountainside. Even
while David talked, the course of that
fire seemed to change, widen, turn up
the mountain, catch the tops of the
pine trees as if they were tinder!
Even as Arthur stared, it seemed
turning toward them like a tide of
water! He looked at David, looked at
Sonia, seemed to grow weak with
thought of what horror had so near-
“what do you
ly been. Sonia’s face and hands were
white—staring too. Then suddenly,
out of that silence, Shalmir called!
“Arthur,” she called. “Are you
there 7” ;
And back by Kelly’s Hole, where
David had come through, stood Shal-
mir and Shalmir’s Indian—Shalmir,
hair tangled, face and clothes black
and torn!
“Arthur!” she called again, sharp-
ly— frightened. “Are you here?”
“You keep still,” Arthur whispered
to Sonia. “Keep quiet! Don’t let her
know anything!”
7 Shalmir heard him coming toward
er.
“Arthur,” she called “is it you?”
He put his arms around her. She
was trembling, frightened, almost cry-
ing.
“You shouldn’t have tried to come
here like this,” he said. “It was too
much!”
“John knew how to bring me,” she
said. “You couldn’t have gotten out
alone. You wouldn’t have known the
