“That you, Jimmy?”
The two men gazed at each

Thorpe, smiling at his friend.
“I don't mean that,” answered Jim-
my Tremont, “It's—It's—well, I don’t
know just what it is!"
Will Thorpe thought about his
friend's words that evening when he
was alone In his cabin on the moun-
tainside. Had he changed during his
three years In the West, beyond the
mere physical appearance? He was
inclined to think he had. Certainly
his tastes seemed to have altered In
many ways.
Will Thorpe had been sent West
three years before. He had been an
idler and extravagant; at last his fa-

He mounted his horse and rode
slowly down the valley. He had no
destination In mind, but suddenly he
realized that he was approaching the
homesteader's house. And at the door
stood Norma, In her sunhonnet,
She greeted him, “Won't you come

did it matter to her?
“Yes, I am going East, Norma,” he
answered, taking her hands In his,
“I—I congratulate you" she an-

“You have meant so much to me,”
he sald impulsively. “I hate the

“Then you must go,” sald the girl

Marion's train was to arrive the fol

old and the new were tugging at It, |
and he did nof know which pulled him |
the harder. There were so many |
memories here—yet the thought of
Marion came to him like a flood of |

Black Ruler Thought

One of the most remarkable things
about Nararakad, a North Australian
black king, who wears no clothes, lives
in a bark hut, and maintains his high
office as much by his skill as a war

royal blood—is that, until I told him

One of the outstanding of
