THE MEADOW iARK.
A sea of grass on either side
The prairie stretches far and wide;
Its undulating line of blades
Reflects the noontide lights and shades,
And brings before me one by one
The pictures wrought by wind and sun.
And silence reigns, save for the breeze
And muffled hum of droning bees.
Till in the summer hush I hear
A prairie signal sweet and clear,
In mournful, piercing notes that mark
The whistle of the meadow-lark.
Like one wild cry for loved and lost.
From a lone spirit tempest-tossed,
It wails across the waving grass.
And, blending with the winds that pass
It scatters echoes at my feet
So full of pain, so deadly sweet.
Oh! heart of hearts, could my unrest
Find such a song within my breast.
Mly passionate and yearning cry
Would echo on from sea to sky
Along the path of future years,
And touch the listening world to tears.
-Ernest McGaffey. in Overland 1Monthly.
Jim Henley,
Remittance Man
By WILLIAM McLEOD
(Copyrlght, 1901, by Authors Syndicate.)
TIM HENLEY, manager and part
owner of the Jlar Z cattle rancih,
got his first sight of the new teacher
at. the Hal f \\ay house just after he
had recovered from one of his peri od
ieal sprees. lie wasa ridin g along
gloomily with his eiyust ait a µ'walk.
and the younig manrl was putting in
his time hating himself savagely. In
point of fact, Henley always despised
himself after one of his outbursts,
but they happened none the less reg
tilarly on that account.
HIe twas a younger 11on of an old
English family. a university man (Col
lege of St. Ambrose, Oxford). and a
gentleman; add to which he was the
pluckiest man in the San ,Toaquin
valley-or at least one of the nerv.
iest. and that is a pretty large or
der-a splendid rider, a good shot.
a handsome fellow in a devil-may-care
fashion. and was possessed of reck
lessness enougIh to sink a three-deck
er. Hiis vices were those which
sprang from indolence and unsteadi
ness of purpose. bhut at bottom he had
'the manliness out of which stanch
men are made. The trouble with him
was that he had always had more
2money than he knew what to do
-with, and unworthy companions who
were quite ready to assist him on
the downhill road. The result was
that he had long since conme to feel
a cynical distrust about hilnself.
" 'mi a hatd egg. and the soonoter T'm
howledt clean it. the middle stump thet
better it will be for my people.' lihe
told himiself, it. the mixed fituires he
wtias wont to employ. "The devil of

"A new pupil. )Miss Forsy-th.'" he
ncalledI out to her withl his cynial
]niugh. "Didn't want to be late thie
first day. so i came nlast nilght. Afrtid
you'll have to excuse me from rising.
1act is, my pony's foot went into a
prajrie dog's hlle and I came a crop
per. Sorry to trouble you, but I'm
afraid I shall have to ask one of your
hopefuls to ride over to the Bar Z
outfit with the news. I've broken
my arm."
"But you d.on't mean that you've
been here all night," she said, in dis
may, noticing that his face was white
and drawn with pain.
"Yes, I-you needn't waste any pity
on me. It was my own fault," he
said, gruffly, flushing to the roots of
his hair.
Miss Forsyth's eyes grew grave.
She was from New England, and at
heart the Puritan instincts of her an
cestors still swayed her. She under
stood him to mean that he had been
intoxicated at the time, and her heart
rebelled against the weakness of this
debonair young man with the splendid
eyes of fire. It was bad enough for
the other cowmen to get on their year
ly "tears." but for a man with dor
mant possibilities like this one the
sin was the greater. At the same
time she confessed to herself that she
was very greatly interested in the
young fellow lying on the ground be
fore her and looking up at her with the
cynical sardonic smile and the eyes so
full of scorn at himself.
Henley ,on his part was also very
much taken with this rather fine-look
ing young woman whose manner was
unconsciously so eloquent of judg
ment on him. It had been a long time
since any woman of that type had
been interested enough in him to care
whether he went to the dogs or not.
Indeed, a woman had started him
there in the first place by jilting him
for a more eligible match. Some ap
pealing quality in her gray eyes
stirred him now to say, with the ironic
gleam in his eye:
"A fine specimen, is it not. Miss
Forsyth? You'll have a chance to
study the remittance man at his best,
you know. One of the most prolific
lproducts of the lRockyv mountain re
gion is hile remittance man. originally
an exotic transplanted at great ex
pense from England for his family's
good."
"You mustn't talk that way-as if
you didn't care," she said, geni'tly.
"I)o you happen to care?" he asked
he'r, looking ouit of bold unabashed
ryei~s.
She flushed uneasily. "Of course I
care at seeing such a wvaste of human
life. It is one of the saddest things I
have ever seen."
HIe drew a long breath and
gronned.
"Is your arm paining you very
much?" she asked.
"Arm? N,!'" lie said savagely.
"Yhat's a 1broken arm to shout ahbout?
I'm doing the baby act because lh-av
en's opened to me after I've elected
hell."
That was the last of .Tim Tleniey's
"sprees." le fought his fight out
grimly and won. E.ven the Christl:as
s''ason passed without the usual .jolli
fication. lint. oddly enough, the
friendship between TTenley and Miss
Forsyth did not proguress. Perhaps
the menmory of that nmorning when she
had found himn a viet im of his own
ealkness rose as a barrier bi'tliween
them. At any rnate there was a subtle
reserve in their slpeecit and maniner
that grew greater rather than Iless.
Then (.an' the gr'eat blizzard in the

had been growing worse and by the

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Pretty Fancies That Are Now in Fa
veor with Followers of
Fine Dress.
Gloves for the elbow-sleeved gown
are shown with lacing of gold or silver
cord from waist t.o elbow on the outer
seam. The same thing is seen in shoul
der length gloves and the lacing is
not only decorative but also useful in
fitting the glove to the arm and keep
ing it in place, says the New York Sun.
The latest thing in presents for the
golf girl is a pair, or many pairs, of
the startling red or green silk golf
stockings, with huge monograms em
broidered on the knees. The red
stockings have the monogram in
green, the green ones in red, and the
girl who will not embroider a pair for
her chum is no true friend.
Wonderful colorings and designs are
appetaring in the new silks, the manu
facturers seeming to have coultlled con

the Louisn Xi1. and Lotiis X\. modes.

BEES TO EXTERMINATE MICE
Philipplie Insects to Be Introduaced
Into This Country for That
Purpose.
The agricultural department at
VWashington is to make a determined
attack upon the American field
mouse. His extermination in certain
localities has been resclved upon and
the Philippine bumblebee is to be
brought into service as the execu
tioner.
This was the statement made by
Prof. C. H. Riley, of the department,
who passed through . Chicago last
week en route to San Francisco and
the Philippines. Prof. Riley. of the
division of ento;iology., will devote
a yeaor in the Philippilnes to the study
of bugs and insects of the archipel
ago. The "'humining bird" bunmble
bee of the Philippines will be one of
the mnain objects of his inqliry. It
is planned to import thet big bee of
the P'hilipllines into the Inited
States that lie ann-y nmake -war upon
the American field mouse, a rodent
which hats 'allnsed the flarmerls of the
coitltl"t" a los:; of thoilsanIIs of dol

"It is an old sayingF among farm

WHERE THIEVES A E " .
I Refuses fto Crltmlals 1i Londo
That the Law Does NOe
Reach.
One of the jatural harbors or ref
uges for the criminal classes is the
cifty of London. Indeed, all large cit
ties offer a measure of security to
lawbreakers, but the English metrop
olis being the most populous city in
the world gives such characters excep
tional opportunities for concealment,
despite the fact that the metropolitan
police force is the most efficient and
successful in the world. The fact is
that .to find a hiding criminal in Lon
don (with its teeming millions of peo
ple of all nationalities) is a tremen
dons task., and in the case of alien crim
inals the mnagnitude of the task is dou
bled by the fact that .the "descrip
tions" supplied to Scotland Yard by
foreign police authorities are proverb
ially meager and unrelia'ble when they
are not absolutely idiotic.
Despite, however, the advantages
London offers fugitives from justice.
when a British criminal commits a big
crime whereby he obtains the neces
sary funds he generally gives the
"Axis of the Empire" a wide berth
and endeavors to get somewhere
abroad under a vague sort of impres
sion that anywhere is safer than'-tl
country in which he committed hi
crime.
The question of whither he shall hie
himself is one which he must find con
siderable difficulty in answering, a
the difticulty is yearly being incr
by the concluding of more an
extradition treaties, and th
in, of those conlltries with
UInited States already has
ties to a more proper sense of t ir
obligations. Owinr to the existence of
score' of extraditionl Tt'reaties, almost
every colnittrv is nominally as unsafe
t:f fugitive criminals (excepting those
"wanted" for political crimes) as the
siug island. 11ut nomhinal!y is not aetu
ally, for sw hich difference the emigrat
ing evitloer hits every reason to be
thanukfutl.
More than hilf the treaties the gov
'ernment holds with foreifgn (ounntries
for the extradition of criniinails who
fly the ciou nt ry arc praetically dead
letteirs. RVere it nit for this fact there
would be ont y on ne actunal refuge for
fugitive lawbreakers, whereas there
are dozens. 'I'he Bonin islands, in the
Pacific ocean, and off the coast of
.Tapan. constitute the sole remaining
nominal refuge for the criminnal
:lasses, and this refuge is not favored
hby any but the lowest and rluist crim
inal.
Men who have committed crimes for
which death. lifelong imprisonment.
Riberia. or perhaps torture, would be
due pIunishment. have flown to the'
