La aD OLE TAOC=0 SILAS + APPRECIATED HIS PAL - 3 {(& by D. J. Walsh.) \ ILAS ADOLPHUS PETERKIN, followed by his faithful, hungry- eyed wife, climbed slowly to the rocky slope leading to the most picturesque stream in their vicinity. His hand grasped the fishing rod firm- ly as though in preparation of a good day's catch, “1 hate to bother the frisky little fellers, Belindy,” he said pleasantly, “I_ wouldn't ketch ‘em if we didn't get hungry way up here in these high mountains, Belinda received his usual outburst in silence: somehow she didn't feel like talking today; it seemed so good to have Silas home again, although she felt proud when the big pectors of the country employed him as their guide, When they reached the brow of slope Silas halted for a silent proval of the valley below. He these mountains and he wasnt ashamed of the sentiment he feit. tle knew them from ridge to ridge, every snow-capped peak, each precipitous chasm. He was the inspiration of the tourists. Many an excursion he had conducted in safety to some perilous place of wonder in the range, many more had declined because of Belinda; it wasn't fair that she should take all her pleasures second-handed. He spent hours telling her stories of the great world outside. She had never been away from these mountains, they had shut her in until she had almost ceased to think of anyone but Silus. “Some day,” Silas constantly told himself, “I'm going to take Belindy some place; 1 don’t know where,” As they climbed up and again hurried on he glanced toward her contentedly. “Belinda,” he told her, “1 get more oul of livin’ than 1 guess most folks do.” pros- the ap- loved another forward this rocky road,” loath to take “Life is like contributed. “You ain't seen life,” he to console her. “1 can’t ever get enough money to take you into It—the cities where there's music and folks smile because things.” “You bet you, Silas? this rock.” step. she ter rest a while now, We can set right of his spirit, his long, lithe body, picture of the freedom he felt. take an old-age tonic?

Silas’ were flung oul to highest peak of the range Glory,” he called that one, his own pame for them all his arms crept down to shoulders. He clasped her moment, her head drooping dumbly on his breast. Grandeur and beauty surrounded them. He felt the strength of it. She was accustomed to scen- ery. All she wanted was the string of blue beads. “You're ular pal, kindly, as they continued their down the hill. "I've ask why under the canopy of heaven did they call you Belindy, a a woman like you?” Belinda caught her was finding her amiss. He didnt her name, She was a woman loved peace and she wouldn't back at him. He wouldn't knowingly hurt a fly. The name Silas was a poor substitute for Arthur or Reginald; how she wished she could call him her Reginald. She smiled up into his face. “Mebbe they thought the name Belindy was pretty,” she finally sald, “or mebbe they didn't care; 1 bein’ still another girl, when they wanted a boy bad. You aight call me Bee or Lindy: there ain't no sting in Lindy.” “Ain't many wives know what it means to be a good pal,” he praised her, as he made his way to the bank of the stream, which sparkled and danced along in a most inviting fash. fon. “Never mind names, Lindy, never mind names.” “1 suppose I'll have to sit on that big bowlder while you wade up and down,” she answered. “Just lookin’ at you keeps me contented.” “Not many wives would be so en. tertainin’ and sociable, Ligdy. Then you never yell when 1 slip and fall in" “No, 1 don't yell. 1 don’t suppose I'd make a fuss If the world should come to an end (which it ain't never goin’ Jo do, in the way they say it will). I'd just sit and wait, Some good 1s bound to come to evarybody if they'll Just be sure to wait” She was : pathetic figure as she gat in the center of the huge bowlder, her hands crossed placidly in her lap. Presently she pushed her straw bon net back from her face, then took It oft and laid it on the bowlder at her side. Even a wreath of pink roses would never make that bonnet stylish, “Me king. ns he and hur "w he put on keep oun claim.

She loved him, but she didn't know what a great man was like. He knew all about scenery, but she was plum tired of Scenery. She liked the cities and the big build- ings he brought home to.her on post- cards. She couldn't expect to know much in this little mountain town. She ought to be able to talk to Silas as the folks he took sightseein' talked. Back in town they heard the big clock on the postoffice strike four, Silas put the last trout in the basket and wound up his reel, He was think- ing of the home which he enjoyed to the fullest extent of Lis nature; the screened-in porch with pots of red geraniums scattered about; the Kitch- en floor all covered in blue and white ollcloth; a pretty room where Belinda loved to cook.
