New Use for Typewriter Cases.
A new use has been found for the

of portable typewriter. The owner,
who is* very enthusiastic about her
machine, recently was planning a

of the family had borrowed her trav

to solve the difficulty. She must either
Abandon the visit or turn borrower
herself and there was little time left
In which to do the latter.
Then she had a brilliant Idea, a*d
the typewriter was removed from its
case, set away on the piano and the
necessities for the week-end visit were
packed.

Belding could not reply to that, but
hope revived in him. He had faith
In his wife, though he could not in
the least understand what he imag
ined was something mystic in her.
"Years ago when I was searching
for gay father I learned many things
about this country," said Mrs. Beld
ing. "You can never tell how long a
man may live in the desert. The
fiercest, most terrible and inaccessible
places often have their hidden oasis.
In his later years my father became
a prospector. That was strange -to
me, for he never cared for gold or
money. 1 learned that he was^ often
gone in the desert for weeks, once for
months. Then the time came when
he never came back. That was years
before I reached the southwest border
and heard of him. Even then I did
not for long give up hope of his com

Is too wise 0 start back now over

he'll wait. I seem to "know this, dear
Nell, so be brave, patient Dick Gale
will come back to jou."
That talk w^th the strong mother
worked a change in Nell and in Beld
ing. Nell, who had done little but
brood and watch the west and take
violent rides, seemed to settle into a
waiting patience that was sad, yet
serene. Belding, who had been break
ing under the strain of worry, recov
ered himself so that to outward ap
pearance he was his old self. He
alone knew, however, that his humor
wa forced, and that the slow burning
wrath he felt for the Chases was flam
ing into hate.
Belding argued with himself that if
Ben Chase and his son, Radford, had
turned out to be big men in other
ways than in the power to carry on
great enterprises he might have be
come reconciled to trfem. But the
father was greedy, grasping, hard,
cold the son added to those traits an
overbearing disposition to rule, and he
showed a fondness for drink and
cards. These men were developing
the valley, to be sure, and a horde of
poor Mexicans and many Americans
were benefiting from that develop
ment nevertheless, these Chases were
operating in a way which proved they
cared only for themselves.
Belding went to Casita with a num
ber of his white thoroughbreds and
shipped them to ranchers and horse
breeders in Texas. Then, being near
the railroad, and having time, he went
up to Tucson. There he learned some
interesting particulars about the
Chases. They had an office in the
city influential friends In the cap
itol. They were powerful men in the
rapidly growing finance of the West.
They had interested the Southern Pa
cific railroad, and in the near future a
branch line was to be constructed
from San Felipe to Forlorn River.
These details of the Chase develop
ment were Insignificant when com
pared to a matter striking close home
to Belding. His responsibility, had
been subtly attacked. A doubt had
been cast upon his capability of exe
cuting the duties of immigration in
spector to the best advantage of the
state. Belding divined that this was
only an entering wedge. The Chasv
were bent upon driving him out of
Forlorn River but, perhaps to serve
better their own ends, they were pro
ceeding at leisure. Belding returned
home consumed by rage. But he con
trolled it. For the first time in his
life he was afraid of himself. He had
his wife and Nell to think of and the
old law of the West had gone for
ever.
"Dad, there's another Rojas round
these diggings," was Nell's remark,
after the greetings were over and the
usual questions and answers passed.
v" Belding's exclamation was cut short
by, Nell's laugh. She was serious with
a kind of amused contempt^,
"Mr. Badford Chase!" i
"Now Nell, what the" roared Beld
ing.
"Hush, Dadl Don't swear," inter
rupted NelL "I only meant to tease
you."
"Nell, you may as well tell him and
have it over," said Mrs. Belding, j-,
quietly.
