iron horse by alice v lindley things in rawlins were pro gressing srnoothly that tittle cow town was the fortunate posses sor of an exceptionally strong limb of the law a fat kindeyed man was its sheriff and while a student lent lent gathers up her cloak ol sombre shading in her reluctant hands her beauty heightens fairest in its fading as pensively she stands awaiting easters benediction tailing like silver stars at night before she can obey the summons calling her to her upward flight awaiting easters wings that she must borrow ere she can hope to fly those glorious wings that we shall see tomorrow against the far blue sky has not the purple of her vestures lining brought calm and rest to all has her dark robe had naught of golden shining been naught but pleasure s pall who knows perhaps when to the world returning in youths light joyousness well wear some rarer jewels found burning in lents black bordered dress so hand in band with fitful march she lingers to beg the crowning grace of lifting with herpure and holy an- the veil from aprils face sweet rosy april laughing singing waiting until the gateway swings and lent and she can kiss between the grating of easters tissue wings too brief the bliss the parting comes with sorrow goodbye dear lent good bye t well watch your fadi wtng out lined tomorrow fooled by the fat ones apparent clumsiness many a bad hombre had stopped a bullet before realiz ing his mistake then too right now the sheriff had a newdeputy ho due to the fact that he had tracked and captured a gang of marauders on foot far up in the hills had come to be known as the walkin deputy stories of his clev erness and nerve had been broad cast up and down the country and just at present people with question able characters seemed to have an almost superstitious fear of raw lins for this respite the sheriff would have been duly thankful if it had not been for the peculiar actions of his new deputy on the average of twice a week the walkin deputy slicked down his hair adjusted his tie and polished his boots while the sheriff looked on with a mixture of curiosity and disgust i bet youlre sparkin a gal john ny he accused one ntght after watching this procedure in silence several limes in the vain hope of an explanation from his deputy yes sir i bet youre sparkin a gal never did have any luck with de nohow t ed starks fer instance he went an died with the measles forty two years old he was too then there was tom hob- son he went to new york and got jailed it was all in the papers and he ain t been back home since you can see fer yerself how it is with fred dawson married to that tongueiashin female matilda nope i aint never had no luck with depu ties i thought you was goin to be different son the sheriffs oice i was pathetic though his eyes twin kled but here you are keepm j u riled up stoppin fights over been with contempt listening in- many complaints have been heard in regard to listening in on tele phone conversations especially on party lines but no concrete solution has been put forward to solve the dif ficult and very little can be done about it of course it is annoying to telephone companies as well as then- subscribers but what can be done about it unless ajadeof ethics could be adapted for telephone eavesdrop pers this fine sport has been regarded with suspicion and distrust for years and when it has been men tioned at all has been alluded u freeing 300 elk nearly 900 wapiti are being set free m the wooded lakelands of north western alberta not that these for tunate elk have been in

by game conservauoniats some ot the surplus moose may be set loose also w picobac that iron hore of yourn while you go sparkin jold mark adams rode into town leaving a trail of dust and profanity behind him loudly demanding the sheriff it was johnny however who heard the details of the rustling going on up in adams section of the country that night at the appointed hour the walkin deputy departed in state leaving behind a disappointed sheriff thought rure he d stay in town tonight count of that rustlm busi ness wonder who that gal is any ways he heads in mark adams direction but i can i recollect no young gal out thataway about 10 oclock the walkin deputy emerged from a little white cottage far up in the hills and walked confidently over to his fliv ver it was wo miles farther down the trail that he felt something pressed against his back you just stop that flivver young feller came a voice out of the darkness theys two of us joy ridin in the back seat if you dont obey orders careful like we aint usedto this buggy ridin and we dont want no monkeyshines we knew why you been hangln round that place up near old man adams you sure are a pretty smart alec like we been hearin but you cant fool two old duffers like us so we just decided to let you take a per manent vacation from this land of sorrows and worries and whewm johnnys active brain had taken in the situation quickly these fel lows thought he knew something and had already decided to dispose of him well he had one chance sliding far down in the seat with a quick movement he stepped hard on the gas sending the iron horse forward with a mighty jerk straight toward the roughest section of coun try in that section threats curses prayers moans came f the back seat while johnny hung oh to the wheel praying all the while that the car would hold together when you got enough just throw themguns out he ordered over his shoulder and sit up straight and pretty or 111 make this thing do tricks henry ford never taught it them guns is gone came a shaky voice from the rear scat then the voice rose to a wail for the love of mikc stop this crazy rattletrap all right you joy riders called tohnny just remember there s more gas in this thing and anyways i got jou covered now a few nights later the walkin dputv and the iron horse the lat ter nnl looking any the worse for ik encounter with the rustrers took their usual trail out of town toinl tight to follow-a- gent when he goes to see his gal remarked the sheriff to a couple of cow punch ers who had been watching the iron horse out of sight they looked at each other a moment then with one accorcfeach man went for his horse later three men came in sight of a flivver outlined in the moon light against a white cottage they dismounted and peaked through a window what they saw was the welkin deputy deeply interested in a game of checkers opposite him sat a little old lady her gray hair shinrrtg in the lamplight gosh breathed the sheriff three men mounted and silently rode away j in it are stricken with a moderate sense of shame when other persons who probably have participated in the practice themselves rail against such means ot accumulating informa tion t personally from considerable jour nalistic experience we are in favor of the person who hangs an ear on the part line on numerous occasions we have called parties in the country and been unable to reach tbem only to have some well meaning neighbor explain where the part had gone and orten vouchsafe the information we sought bless them say we we have never yet been sufficiently fool ish to offer any confidential informa tion or seek it over the telephone and what we have talked about with our friends on circuits used by a neighborhood might just as well have been heard by all the users ol that circuit for it was intended for pub lication anyway but there is a decent limit to that sort of thing not so much in the amount of eavesdropping through the receiver but in the manner which it is accomplished we suggest that no rightthinking housewife would send her child to the phone to catch the local gossip particularly when the child repeats what she or he hea the said housewife in a oice audible to the parties engaged in conversation and to others who are taking an in terest in the call some enthusiasts are much more polite in their behaviour the put their hand over the transmitter and ease the receiver off the hook with as much care as though thev were handling egzs but almost invariably thev overlook a ticking clock a radio or some other nole that betrays their presence on the line sjjlr another type janks the receiv er off and makes a pretense of be llevlns that their own number was called when assured that thev were not wanted thev cheerfullv leave the receiver off and prepare to take part in the ensuing conversation ir an this tvpe of listener usual breathes verv heavih into the transmitter and provides quite a lot of static the perfect technique research has proved is to place the rtetht hand flat across the mouth piece of the phone stand well to the left of the phone hold the hook down with the little finger of the left hand remove the receiver from the hook with the other ringers of the same hand and then allow the hook to rise care should be taken that once the book has eo tamlsflcd contact with the line the entire phone should not be touched with anything bard and the right hand should be kept perfectly still to avoid scraping sounds the hook should be pulled down with the fin gers before the recelyer is replaced when the listener has heard enough of the conversation in progress in this uay the eavesdropper may take part in all conversations on the hni w causmft undue incon venience to tie pari conversation and may frequently get in on something without the convers ing parties knowing that she or he is doing so the right hand by the way does not necessarijy muffle all noise occurring m the home of the party listening in but at least tones it down sufficiently that it does not interfere with the remarks of the par ties calling w telephone users can accept these tips for what they are worth but with discretion and in the spirit in which this article was written exchange stutfcox 3 that it pays to buy at home where the local merchant stands behind the goods he sells was again painfully brought

clearing out at bargain price per barrel in every case the first few layers were of averageslsed apples but further down they were nothing but mere runts and decidedly scrubby another case of being
