Lick Home Town First,Good Advice to Boys

In a discussion entitled "How Cnn IHelp My lioy (Jtt Started." Iiruee 15ar-ton gives Hane cotiiikel U> the youthtth>> (hlnks he can do better In NewYork city than In bis'own town. Inhi.-; article In (Jood Housekeeping, thewriter tells for the bcuellt of youngmen his experience wllb a lad he metIn nuother city who felt himself calledto the metropolis.

"It must be great to live In NewYork BS-JI meet so many interestingpeople," Hie hoy bald to him "Do yuuthink I utight to go to New York?"

"No." I answered.His face fell. "Why nut?""Heeause New York is full of chaps

like you who have never done any-thing, und for the nmst part {hey leadvery lonesome lives. Y"ou don't sup-pose these so-called 'Interesting' peo-ple would have any Interest In you. doyou? Interesting people like Interest-ing people. Success has no time forfullures."

It was a shot between the eyes. Hewas silent for a full minute. His Jaw-set ; it looked more than ever like hisfather's Jaw. * '

"Hut I hate this town," he cried."What's the use of staying in a placeyou hate"? Why can't I start ,ln NewYork?"

"Because It's a mistake to leave'any'town until you have licked it," L an-swered. "A man's life ought to be likethe march of an army; he should con-quer the territory as he truvels, leav-ing no hostile forces. In his rear.

"Xevr York is the biggest thing inthe country," I went On. "It's thechampion, the Jack Dempse'y, the BabeHuth of all the towns. You can't stepout and- fight Dempsey right off.You've got'to get n reputation; you'vegot to lick a lot of little fellows tlrst.The place for you to start isjiere,,lpa town you don't like."

National Demand forBetter^ Building Seen

There are a number of Interestingstatements In the semiannual state-ment of the "American Constructioncouncil; issued through its president.Franklin D. Koosevelt, recently.

"The amount of new work con-tracted for and begun has held up un-usually well. This shows a very favor-able response on tlie part of the public•to the general movement.

At hist, when further sleep had be-come Impossible, he sat up, struck amatch, and looking at his watch, (dis-covered that It was nearly sir o'clock.

He threw his blankets over his arm,stepped over the sprawling l|mbs ofthe sleepers,' and went out to thestable where he watered his horse,afterward kicking his heels aboutitlie.place until, in the first glimpse of thedawn, tlie squaw came shuffling Intothe kitchen.

Lee went In. "Get me a cup of cof-fee and a piece of bread," he said,putting a fifty-cent piece Into her hand-"That'll be enough for me. I've got tobe moving." • ' .

•The woman filled the "kettle from apail ,of water on the 'kitchen, table.Lee asked: " i..* ^/ .

"You know that girl who came last

spenklng. Then he discovered that thevoice came from the .cither side of thelarje, empty stove which stood at hishead, a little out from the wall. Hisface .and Pierre's . were separated,therefore, by no more than thf rlr-cumfererice of the metal container,though Pierre, of course, did not guessthat Lee lay on the other side of it,nor that he would be likely to havenny particular Interest In what he wasBaying.

But the name that IiaH' startled jLeeInto wakefulness was that of. Pelly.Bis subconsclousness, alert throughslumber, had caugh|s4t and communi-cated the warning.

Before Lee had qnlte attu.ied bis«ars to catch Pleura's remark. Shorty,the other man, broke In:

"You fool, Pierre, you nearly givethe game. awa r"tonight~fe"r sliore. Youain't got no sense at all, buttln' Inlike that "and trlghtenln'3>er away.You didn't s"pose she'd got our photy-crafts ID her pocket, did yajr--The-Trouble with you Is you caln't hold yer

"Well, and why didn't ya? Ml tellye-"why-;—Because you saw he ain'tno fnur-fluglier. lie's tough, that fel-ler Is, an' he was wateffin' "yd* HKe~arat. Don't ya make no mistake aboutthnt. And it's lucky you didn't get nochnnst to s,pill what ya was goln' to, oryou'd shorejiave scalrf the girl away.

"You listen here," he continued,"you keep out of this to-morrer till•he's gone, and then wo c*n ride hardand ketch up with her at sundown andexplain that we're friends of hern."

Their gojrcs became ttiqrtlculate.I-eo strnlneti"lili..eart to1 catch the Im-port of their conversation, but hecould hear nothing but the low whis-per of their voice*.

force carries ou the tradition of thooldNorth-West; it does not return with-out Its men.

Slston lake wns admirably adaptedfor the nevdn of the Free Traders. Itwas at tin) extreme northern limits' ofthe range, or a little beyond, and thebead of a lake and river system bywhich communication could be had bywater north to Fort Churchill or YorkFactory or west aa far as Lake Atha-basca.

Tlie York boat, laden to tbe gu!iwa'ewith supplies of liquor, could pushanywhere along the Uiousands of ltfkesand streamy acting as mother boat Inturn to the canoe, with one.e)r moreenses. And ovej all this.*!!*. M-de-flned district tbe iiooch-rynaer hadalmost unlimited away, proving aserious rival to the legitimate tradingInterests, since he carried his poisonInto the Indian's camping grounds andtook his pick of the choicest furs.

His trade embraced a, viler one. Allalong the fringe of white settlement Itwas active. It had spVune up like afungus overnight, during the disorgan-isation of the police In consequenceof'the war and the readjustment. Thegang were steadily enjbltterlng the re-Inttjns between whites and reds,which had been amtfrable,almost sincethe advent of the first pioneer.

Whichever district the girl wasbound for. It was Impossible to mis-take the course that she would takeInitially. In front of Lee lay a longbackbonirTJf Tnoontaln,—with only—asingle pass Into the Interior over arange of many

Scanning' carefutlyrtccsaw, jabout a mile beyond the pass, athin curl pt smoke rising Into the stillair.

Satisfied that he had the girl Insight, Lee hesitated for a while, un-decided whether to ride up'to her, orto camp where he was. keeping a look-out for Pierre nnd Shorty, In the endhe decided that the better. coursewould be to make himself known, andaccordingly he descended the slope

f b a n k

of the river until he reached the camp.The girl bad already set up "her tent,

her horse was tethered near thestream, and she was cooking her din-ner at *h fire -which she had made.She looked very trim and business-

la a hurried . manner, repeat.c/1 biscompanion's gestures. For severalmoments. tU»-UuUt-x>£_thjt catnp flresilhouetted the calm faces of the girlund Lee and the vindictive, scowling'ties of the two molt .

Then IVTTO leaped to the ground."By fur, it's de feller dut tell me'lat'Ube all;." he shouted. "What yourink you're doing here, you d—n four-flusher?"

'^iaybe tlie same ris yo*i<" said Lee."Ho, ho, dat's good!" ronred tbe

iircvd. "You t'lnk we take you In asliardner, heln?" .'' ,.•• ' ' ,

"Wouldn't gcT'frlth you.' I've gottuy own has^to play," Lee answered.

"You won't play It here, then!" bel-lowed Shorty.

OaO:s poured from his lips. "Packand vamose!1' yelled Pierre. Tbe twoadvanced on Lee with belligerent ges-tures.

Lee held up his hand as the fiststhreatened him. '"Didn't I tell you Idon't fight?" he drawled deceptively.

"You don' fight? By gar, you'recoin" to fight dls time-or git!" yelledPierre. "You 'frnld of gittln' whipped,eh?"

"That's about i the size of It,"laughed Lee.- "That's why I shoot In-stead—quick- and straight and sure,gentlemen!" ' .

His right hand mnde a movementin his coat pocket, but his automaticwas In the holster at the back of hiship, and there; .was nothing In thepocjset more lethal than his pipe.

But Pierre, who was nearest.Changed color. The mnn was -a cur" athe^rt, as Lee hadv suspected. Heleaped back ..wlllL_ft_BaarI.__.Shorti_.stepped back, too, though not quite soviolently, and the two, withdrawing

Le« wondered Low long he fradbeen, lying there. It vena toodarktosee his watch. He wondered why theyhad not waited till morning, whenthere, would be a better chance of

One of them was coming toward himwith stealthy footsteps.' .Lee guessedthat It was Short), the more courage-.ous of tli» two.

The figure came slowly on. Leeaimed the automatic, his finger stead-ied on the trigger. He would Ore. assoon as It made the firM hostile move-ment, as soon as It raised Its weaponto cover him •-'• ••'-.- .-'-.': And then. In amazement, he let the

That' might almost—have appearedcredible, but for the conversation thatLee had overheard "beside the Btove."In the light nf that, Lee had to dis-miss the credibility of his surmise.

at the landlord's Innncndo about the:It. C. M. P. Bbt this soon yielded toanxiety about tilt girl. The disclosurethat*, the two meWwere from Slstonlake and the recollection of the con-versation be had overheard, convinced.him that they .were planning to kld-nnp and convey her there.

Such,a plan would seem Inconceiv-able b u t t l e knew that the gang, WJlevlng their organization firmly/en-trenched In power, would stop at terytUtle. Other things • equally slnnttcrhad been done by them. •

However, Lte began to breathemore freely when he bad left thesqualid little town behind h'lm. Hewalked'or trotted h|s horse till.'noon,gradually ascending" tDwsrd the out-skirts of the range through a' fairlyopen country. ; f "

.The snows might hold off foJ- two orthree fc-peks yet, and Lee felt' rrinfldYntthat w«ll .within that period he wouldbe able to bring back Pelly, If tbe lat-ter were ln,tltelriglonvitB(ess he tookalarm. In wblcb [event of course Leewould bare to bring' his horse bsck toLittle FallsJ and; prepare for a longwinter's' chase, t Tbe- new dominion

like with her'sleeves rolledelbows and her alr-of being.completelyat home In these surroundings.

As Lee Jumped from his horse shestarted, then "looked at him with onexpression of calm- which was an at-tempt "ib conceal a very obvious trepi-dation. -..._' . ,; _i ..

'Good evening," he called. Ttntravelling your way. aafl saw yourenmp Hre. so took the liberty of Join-ing you.' If there's no objection."

She stared hard at htm as If his ad-vent were some long expected blow,that had,suddenly fallen. - 'For ,a fewmoments < she" seemed under the In-fluence of "ani ali-poxxesslng fear." Thenmastering It, she answered', with tbesame affectation of Indifference:

"Ton can camp where yon like, ofcourse. The range" Is "free f o r a 11," .-

Lee, a little staggered at the unwil-lingness- of this Invitation, deridedthat It would be better for the presentnot to alarm her with" any explana-tions and proceeded to pitch his tentnenr hers. While he was unloading hispack and watering his horse, the (ttrlwent on with her meal, without payingany attention to him.

Easter CustomsPast

New En«:land child sedately. "NewKloves, 11 trinket, and achurch full of people with

new spring hats."-Easter!" says the New Orleans

child a bit boisterously. "Dyeinsgatherlns clover for the Easter

To tlie VVashlncton. child eg^-rolllnsat the White House probably wouldhe the keynote 'of Easter.

But did you ever stop-to fhqulre nsto the origin of these cusmms? Didyou know they ore even more tliue-honored thnn the • rery nnme of theAnglo-Saxon goddess of spring, Eos-tre. from which we get the wordEnster? Eostre Is Indeed on anrientlady* hut compared, to these customsshe is n gliltlf- young flapper. In thefar-off days of Plato the first, uge ofthe rabbit, the egg and new wearingapparel as'the symbols of the' sprin'sseason were lost In the' glimmering*of shadowy aee»- With the comingof ' Ch'rlstlanlfy. and the " allegoricalsoul awakening of.

-any rate, the children formed them:• selves Into bands and visited • fromhouse to house; asking fbr Easteretxs.' Modern ptycholotists aren't so

' rery wise, after all, for these children, applied one of their maxims way backIn the Twelfth century. JTTyou hare

Churly Indeed the housewife whocould resist such a serenade. SomcHtimes thd eggs were uncooked. Thesethe children would cook over an openlire In the village meeting- place.'Bee-gars,' too, considered the asking aridreceiving of Easter tggn- as one*oftheir professional" rights.
