There IS a flurry in the tnonev market, but Daylight tells Dede that he is going to work on a ranch and prove to her that he has reformed. CHAPTER XX.--Continued. Two days later. Daylight stood wait­ ing outside the little Glen Ellen hotel. The ceremony was over, and he had left Dede to go inside and change Into her ridlng-hablt -7hile he brought the horses. He held ttafem now. Bob and Mab, and in the shadow of the watering-trough Wolf lay and looked on. Already two days of ardent Cali­ fornia sun and touched with new fires the ancient bronze in Daylight's face. But warmer still wag the glow that came into his cheeks and burned in his eyes as he saw Dede coming out the door, riding-whip in hand, clad in the familiar corduroy skirt and leg glngs of the old Piedmont days. There was warmth and glow in her own face as she answered his gaze and glanced en past him to the horses. Then she saw Mab. But her gaze leaped back to the man. "Oh, Elam!" she breathed. • • • • • • • • Many persons, themselves city-bred, and city reared, have fled to the •oil and succeeded in winning great happiness. In such cases they have succeeded only by going through a process of savage disll lusionment. But with Dede and Day­ light it was different. They had both been born on the soil, and they knew Its naked simplicities and rawer ways. They --ere like two persons, after far wandering, who had merely come home again. There was less of the unexpected in their dealings with na­ ture. while theirs was all the delight of reminiscence. What might appear sordid and squalid to the fastidiously reared, was to them eminently whole­ some and natural. The commerce of Mture was to them no unknown and nntried trade. They made fewer mis­ takes. They already knew, and it was a Joy to remember what they had for gotten And another thing they learned was that it was easier for one who has gorged at the flesh-pots to content himself with the meagreness of a crust, than for one who has known only the crust. Not that their life was meagre It was that they found keener dellghtB and deeper satisfac­ tions in little things Daylight, who had played the game in its biggest and most fantastic aspects, found that here, on the slopes of Sonoma Mountain, it was still the same old game. Man had still work to perform, forces to combat, obstacles to over­ come. When he experimented in a snail way at raising a few pigeons tOT market, he found no less zest In •calculating in SQuabs than formerly when he had calculated in millions. Achievement was no less achieve­ ment, while the process of i t seemed more rational and received the sanc­ tion of his reason. The domestic cat that had gone wild and that preyed on his pigeons, he found, by the comparative stand­ ard, to be of no less paramount men­ ace ttan a Charles Klinkner In »he • f ield of finance, trying to raid him tor , several millions. The hawks and of what his hands had wrought. The first evening, missing him, Dede sought and found him, lamp in hand, staring with silent glee at the tubs. He rubbed his hand over their smooth wooden lips and laughed aloud, and was as shame-faced as any boy when she caught him thus secretly exulting in his own prowess. It w^s this adventure in wood-work­ ing and plumbing that brought about the building of the little workshop, where he slowly gathered a collection of loved tools. And he, who In the old days, out of his millions, could purchase immediately whatever he might desire, learned the new joy of the possession that follows upon rigid economy and desire long delayed. He waited three months before daring the extravagance of a Yankee screw-driv­ er, and his glee In the marvelous lit­ tle mechanism was so keen that Dede conceived forthright a great <dea. For six months she saved her egg-money, which was hers by right of allotment, and on his birthday presented him with a turning-lathe of wonderful sim­ plicity and multifarious efficiencies. And their mutual delight in the lathe, which was his, was only equalled by their delight in Mab's first foal, which was Dede's special private property. Daylight had made no assertion of total abstinence, though he had not taken a drink for months after the day he resolved to let his business go to smash. Soon he proved himself strong enough to dare to take a 1 himself never overdone. Nevertheless, there were times when both be and Dede was not above confessing tired­ ness at bedtime after seventy or eighty miles in the saddle. Sometimes, when he had accumulated a little money, and when the season favored, they would mount their horses, with sad­ dle-bags behind, and ride away over the wall of the valley and down into the other valleys. One day, stopping to mall a letter at the Glen Ellen postofflce, they were hailed by the blacksmith. "Say, Daylight," he said, "a young fellow named Slosson sends you his regards. He came through in an auto on the way to Santa Rosa. He wanted to know if you didn't live hereabouts, but the crowd with him was in a hur­ ry. So he sent you hia regards and said to tell you he"d taken you ad­ vice and was still going on breaking his own record." Daylight had long since told Dede of the incident. "Slosson?" he meditated, "Slosson? That must be the hammer-thrower. He pnt my hand down twice, the young scamp." He turned suddenly to Dede. "Say, it's only twelve miles to Santa Rosa, and the horses are fresh." She divined what was In his mind, of which his twinkling eyes and sheep­ ish, boyish grin gave sufficient adver­ tisement, and she smiled and nodded acquiescense. "We'll cut across by Bennett Val­ ley." he said. "It's nearer that way." There was little difficulty, once in Santa Rosa, of finding Slosson. He and his party had registered at the Oberlin Hotel, and Daylight encoun­ tered the young hammer-thrower him­ self in the office. "Look here, son," Daylight announc- 1/ LLJ of their right arms on the counter, the hands clasped. Slosson's band quick­ ly forced backward and down. "You're the first man that ever suc­ ceeded In doing it." he said. "Let's try it again." "Sure," Daylight answered. "And don't forget, son, that you're the first man that pu#mine down. That's why I lit out after you today." Again they clasped hands, and again Slosson's hand went down. lie was a broad-shouldered, heavy-mus- cled young giant, at least half a bead taller than Daylight, and ha frankly expressed bis chagrin and asked for a third trial. This time he steeled him­ self to the effort, and for a moment the issue was in doubt. With flushed face and set teeth he met the other's strength till his crackling muscles failed him. The air exploded sharply from his tensed lungs, as he relaxed In surrender, and the hand dropped limply down. "You're too many for me," he con­ fessed. "I only hope you'll keep out of the hammer-throwing game." Daylight laughed and shook his head. "We might compromise, and each stay in bis own class. You stick to hammer-throwing, and I'll go on turn­ ing down hands." But Slosson refused to accept de­ feat. "Say," he called out, as Daylight and Dede, astride their horses, were preparing to depart. "Say--do you mind if I look you up next year? I'd like to tackle you again." "Sure, son. You're welcome to a flutter any time. Though I give you fair warning that you'll have to go some. You'll have to train up, for I'm plowing and chopping wood and break­ ing colts these days." Now and again, on the way home, Dede could hear her big boy-busband chuckling gleefully. As they halted their horses on the top of the divide out of Bennett Valley, in order to watch the sunset, be ranged alongside and slipped his arm around her waist. "Little woman," he said, "you're sure responsible for it all. And I leave it to you, If all the money in creation is worth as much as one arm like that when it's got a sweet little woman like this to go around." Daylight's steadfast contention was that his wife should not become cook, waitress, and chambermaid because she did not happen to possess a house­ hold of servants. On the other hand, chafing-dish suppers in the big living- room for their camping guests were a common happening, at which times Daylight allotted them their chores and saw that they were performed. For one who stopped only for the night it was different. Likewise it was different with her brother, back from Germany, and again able to sit a horse. On his vacations he became the third in the family, and to him was given the building of the fires, the sweeping, and the washing of the dishes. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

He felt no yearning for It. and even forgot that it existed. Yet he refused to be afraid of It, and In town, on occasion, when invited by the storekeeper, would reply: "All right, son. If my taking a drink will make you happy, here goes. Whisky for mine." Hut such a drink begat no desire for a second. It made no impression. He was too profoundly strong to be effected by a thimbleful. As he had prophesied to Dede, Burning Daylight, the city financier, had died a quick death on the ranch, and his younger brother, the Daylight from Alaska, had taken his place. The threatened inundation of fat had subsided, and all his old-time Indian leanness and litheness of muscle had returned.

At first, when In need of ready cash, he had followed Ferguson's example of working at day's labor; but ho was not long in gravitating to a form of work that was more stimulating and more satisfying, and that allowed him even more time for Dede and the ranch and the perpetual riding through the hills.

Two English physicians of promi­ nence have recently asserted that the exercise given to the lungs in singing is valuable in the prevention and cure of diseases of those organs. They consider that increased professional recognition should be extended to this special therapeutic agency, as advis­ able In cases where pulmonary con­ sumption Is feared. Singing involves correct nasal breathing, and this means that the air admitted to the lungs Is prac­ tically germ free, and also the ade­ quate development of the upper por­ tions of the respiratory passages. An­ other effect Is the maintenance of the elasticity and proper expansion of tbe chest. The necessary breathing exer­ cises mean increased functional ac­ tivity of the lungs.

"Business will held up In this store for the next ten minutes," growl­ ed the Impatioent man. "Even the prescription ^lerk Is holding his breath. Two good looking women are getting ready to use the telephone. That Is why. When a handsome wom­ an talks over an open telephone every­ body within earshot takes a vacation and listens. A plain woman might talk half a day and nobody would pay any attention, but a good looking worn- an at a public telephone draws a big­ ger crowd than the president of the United States. Everybody thinks she is going to say something worth hear­ ing, and they become vitally Inter­ ested." 'If you are In such a big hurry," said the impatient man's companion, "why don't you go down street and attend to that other errand while they are putting up your prescription here?" "Oh, no." said the impatient man, "1 want to hear, too." The proposed parcels post bill Is an attempted step toward further absorp­ tion of trade and Industry by a few great commercial and industrial cen­ ters at the expense of the town and village. Every countryman, whether a resi­ dent of the* town or a dweller on. the farm, should rally to fight the noxious bill. The aim of every good, patriotic citizen should be to encourage those measures that go toward the estab­ lishment of local industries and the investment of home capital, toward the upbuilding of education and civic betterment. For the diverse reason J It Is the duty of every honest citizen to wage eternal conflict with pressing J evils that have a tendency opposite 1 to the above municipal virtues. | The parcels post bill is an evil that ; strikes at the very heart of the small, | prosperous town, because It would tend to take away from the local mer­ chant the business on which be re­ lies to exist-^ake it away from him and give it to the big mail order house in the city. The taking away of trade, or the transfer of it to other channels, cannot fall to drive mer­ chants and employes elsewhere. Tbe city, having taken the trade from the country, would lure them to its con­ gested confines. Capital follows trade. Village churches, schools, banks and libraries would be correspondingly af­ fected. The commercial traveler would go out of business, the local liveryman would suffer and the hotel keeper would be compelled to rely chiefly on the "joy riders" for patronage, ir these with their kindred business men, finding they could not make a living in the country town, as before the passage of the proposed parcel3 post bill, should go to the city, the natural result would be a decrease in price of country real estate. How many millions of dollars, think you, will be sacrificed if the mall order houses, aided by the parcels post bill, are allowed to cut down the patronage of the country merchant? And If the mail order houses grow In the next five years as they have in the last five, do you care to estimate in j'our own mind, facts and figures as to how many vacant store rdoms there will be In your town, how many country people will be forced Into the filth and turmoil of the cities? What will be­ come of the national Influence Tor good that emanates from the country town with Its church, its school, its shop? Men from such communities are the brains of tbe nation today. We find them everywhere in the cities, leading the progress of their times. Edward B. Moon, secretary of the American League of Associations, says: "In these centers germinate the forces that make for real manhood and womanhood--the forces that give us strength and vigor as a nation. These little trade centers are training grounds for young men and young women." Prof. Woodrow Wilson says: "The cultivation of the active faculties by exercise, diffused through the whole community, is itself one of the most valuable of national possessions." The moiling city, then, recruits from the able, healthy country, with men educated and trained in the small Bocial and educational centers. Sup­ pose power be given any special class to tear down that social and educa­ tional center. What Is the result not only upon the village Itself, but upon the city and the uatiou? The retail merchant has been the pioneer In building towns. His well- fare has been synonymous with growth and prosperity. Unless the merchant continues to be prosperous, the town will go down. With the mer­ chant, who suffers? The answer Is far-reaching. Those who lose with the dealer in trade are the clefks, tbe hotel keeper, the livery­ man, the commercial traveler, the wholesaler who sells the merchant goods, every house owner, every farm owner within a trading radius, every mechanic, every laboring man, every doctor, every lawyer, every preacher and so on down the list--for no resi­ dent can live in a town under such conditions and not suffer either social or financial loss, or both. We need laws that will encourage and sustain the villages of this coun­ try Instead of legislation that gives special privileges to depleting greed. Mail ord<^r houses, assisted by free rural delivery, has already lessened the number of country business men by ten per cent. And in those com­ munities where the mail order houses have experimented to ascertain Just how much business they could get, property values haye either remained stationary or deteriorated. The young people of these communities have gone to the city, they have given up the healthy, happy career of the coun­ try towns for the discouraging, teem­ ing, dissatisfying discord of the cities. Qo into the city and prowl about un­ til you find a country boy leading city activity and In his moments of truth telling he will admit to you that the country life Is sweetest and best and most satisfying. The parcels post bill, if passed, will give the mail order houses Ideal deliv­ ery facilities at the expense of every taxpayer. They will be enabled to advertise a yard of cloth delivered for BO much a yard. This they cannot do at the present time because of the difference in delivery distances. The proposed bill carries up to 11 pounds anywhere for the same amount, Just as two cents will take a letter any­ where In the United States. And It seems a characteristic of hu­ man nature that people desire to buy from some other market, some bigger market where they fancy they can find bargains. The country resident likes to wear a suit or a dress from a Chi­ cago tailoring establishment; a Cllt> cago woman very frequently goes to New York for her costumes, while many a New York woman patronizes Paris costumers. We are a nation ot bargain hunters and that Is why we so frequently^ a*e stung with bad val­ ues. We would fare much better In the long run If we1 stuck to our home merchants. t The home merchant's goods show for what they are. The advertised out-of-town product is risky. Every experienced man knows that mail or* der houses can secure large shipments of goods under well-known brands that in reality are manufactured to de­ ceive, goods that resemble but are not like the real goods the people expect to receive. This is one of tbe tricks of the trade that can be put over on tbe unsuspecting and gullible public trading away from home. The t parcels post, if it becomes a law, will enable unscrupulous bouses to "get by" with more adulterated goods, for the mail order barons can then advertise any well-known brand of manufactured products by the cr-n, bottle or caBe, delivered at your p&st- offlce for so much, flat. The use of the well-known name will be a seeming guarantee, when In reality it will be nothing of the sort--nothing but a bit of cuijning, well executed and oarried out to the letter. The public pays the freight for Its lack of allegiance to home trade. F. E. French, chairman of the board of governors of the American League of Associations, speaking before the Southern Merchants' association, said: "Today the people's problem is to conserve our natural resources and keep the farmer on the farm. Will the gradual Impoverishing of the village store keeper keep the farmer on the farm. Will the decline of the social center, the decline of the schools and the decline of the church facilities keep the farmer on the farm? Will long-distance shopping do more for Isolated communities than the sight of real goods and the warm touch of liv­ ing people? Will the picture catalog or the hearty salesman do more to keep the vital currents between seller and buyer? Would a heavily laden parcels post messenger, running be­ tween a mail order agency and a dis­ tant farm, often through a foot or two of mud or snow, compensate for the disappearance of the mart and con­ gress of our country's rural life--the independent, thriving, hospitable store? "It is our duty to sustain that store, and to do U now. That store is im­ periled by pending legislation, wheth­ er by the institution of a local or a general parcels post. If this new serv­ ice be established by the government even with the best of motives, we must admit that: "The postal deficit will be increased. "The country's commercial system revolutionized. "The delivery of legitimate mall de­ layed. "The population of rural communi­ ties depleted and their progress re­ tarded. "And that the government will pro­ mote class legislation, for in seeking to favor the farmer, who needs no such preferment, it will subsidize a commercial Interest whose basic busi­ ness principle is hostility to the best trade distribution. "Every thinking individual agrees that rural free delivery has been of great benefit, but the masses of the people do not agree that a financially unprofitable service shall be put upon its feet at the cost of the man who has been the mainstay of the farmer in season and out of season--tha country storekeeper." You dwellers of the country, think twice on this bill. Your home mer­ chant has carried your account when your crop failed, when your barns burned, when one of your dear ones died. He has been your friend as well as your creditor In times of mental stress and financial depletion. Will the city mall order house, plethoric and fat through the workings of the parcels post bill, be your friend when you have no money? Will l(£ carry you until you can make good/"and get on your feet again? You know It will not. Go slow, then, before you vote to kill your home merchant's business Remember the story of the goose and the golden egg. Stand by the home dealer and the home town. Don't let the politicians throw dust in your eyes. Get after your congressman and write him your feelings in this mat­ ter. Organize your neighbors and work against this bill, for It is dras­ tic and far-reaching, and against the interests of your town and your prop­ erty. BYRON WILLIAM8. Two Worth Reprinting.

The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face Itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chi­ cago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years.
