(Copytisht, 1920, Wnntern Newspaper Union "Has Walter mad* bit choice, moth err It was John Mowbrey, father of the young man named, who asked the question, and some interest and sus pense showed In voice and face. "Sit down, John," said Mrs. Mow brey In her quiet, sensible way. "This Is a subject that means our son's hap piness or misery, and we must art with prudence and wisdom. Ever since the Weiby's and their two beau tiful daughters, Ellta and Wanda, moved 'into the towh Walter has been mere than attracted by them/' "YeR, I have observed that," nodded John Mowbrey thoughtfully. "When yon told htm that you would •present him with a modern house and lot he felt that It was time to look around for a wife. While he seems to think the world of the Welby girls. I^ have noticed that he has been un divided and worried, as though he COliId not make up his mind. Today I had a quiet talk with him. His Choice is Wanda. Dear, gentle, lovlug creature, she would be mine, too. If the decision wtre left to me." "Then why doesn't he settle down to that, and act accordingly?" quer ftMS practical, hard headed John. "Well, love Is capricious, you know. Sfld ho doesn't think he knows Wanda's mind. John made a sort of confession to me today. He says that tie became quite well acquainted with Wanda. At the first, her bright, sprightly ways captivated him com pletely. You see, she came first on the scene. At the end of the week Kilt a appeared. From the start. John declared, her grand, regal ways sort of awed him, and then he naturally felt flattered when Ellta began to •bow a decided preference for his ®§mpany.w "Tf'rn! Ellta Is a flne-looWng girl, •ad no mistake," commented Mr. Mow brey. "Put the other slater—did she **Brn against him? "Not at all. Walter says she was Jttst as pleasant and agreeable aa he fore. only she encourages hlro to pay the most attention to her sister. When he g»»es around Saturdays and sees Wanda first, and invites her to a drive, she manages to make some ex ease and then, as If It was a plan made up between them, Elita appears, smiling and condescending, and some how It is she who goes motoring, while Wanda stays at home. Walter Is be wildered quite, for he feels It an honor to have Elita, who treats other young Men with Icy dlfftlty. select him as her escort." "Tt's a puzzle, Isn't It?" voiced Mr. Jfmvbrev in a perplexed tone. "What's going to come of it?" Poor Walter! Adorable, hut fur tive Wanda! It became patent to the former there had come over the love ly young girl a great change. She no logger encouraged his companionship. Which she at first seemed to so great ly enjoy. At times, too, Walter fan cied a shade of growing sadness In lupr bonny eyes. She did not seem to »Glsre for any other of the numerous Ittaux In her train. Four times in succession, while thf*' started for Morton to the west, fol lowed bj* the observant and constant j5#ze of Mrs. Welby, a little way out ©f town Elita had suggested that they •Islt Llseomb, to the east. Each time ahe said she had some shopping to do. •Hd each time she was lost to the direct view of patient,* waiting W«l ter for over an hour. She was de pressed or buoyant by turns, and al ways when she returned to the ma chine, and Invariably on each occasion ^e said to Walter: "You need not mention It at home t|at we visited Liscomb, If you ft ease." At which Walter marveled but one afternoon the Imperious, yet always affable Miss Welby, requested him to halt his car at the edge of Liscomb and await her return. She was gone for fully two hours. There was a new twightness in her eyes as she reap jN»ared, flustered, and seeming to sup press some great joy. "Mr. Mowbrey," she spoke at once, *1 owe you the deepest gratitude, If fNDu only kney It. I hope that In our Close companionship which I have en couraged, you have never fancied that I was In love with you." The amazing words Overwhelmed Walter. "H*w could I think that you. ^jiith your regal beauty, could deign to look upon me except as one of the Binny loyal suitors who think It an lnnor to win from you the smallest llitice?" "And yon do love WaodaT" "This is pretty plain questioning.* mihmltfed Walter. "It needs to he," safd the self-as ifrtlve young lady. "Thanks to you. I have lulled the watchfulness and sus jriciuns of my parents, and have just ffcretly married the man I love. He lilts just won a high position, and 1 So not think they will now reject him life s son-in-law." ••Then—th#*n," stammered Walter," *lt was all a scheme—your seeming Interest in me?" "In which dear, self-sacrificing ^:v Wanda aidrtd. Yea. Mr. Mowbrey. but ah I see your love for her In your eyes, and when she makes her confes don, be gentle with her." "You don't mean—" blurted oof Walter breathlessly, "that she-—" "Loves you?

Times have changed and nowhere more than in that section of the country. "In those days" ho says. "Cody and Wild Bill had heen scouring the planis to the-north and the West said was to denote a long «lgn—large, a pretty wild. At that particular time Buffalo Hill (Cody) and Wild BUI were In the eastern part of the country. Even then they had a wild west show. "Eleven years ago I was in Denver, and at that time I met Just one man time In the saddle "all day long. I loved a good bit of horseflesh then and I've never got over It. Of course, there will be cowboys and Indians and all that, but they won't be the hard, tough as-nails men they were In 1872. That was a pretty rough country then."

It shines w\jth equal luster on the homes of rich and poor alike. It is the magnetic star of success, whose ra.vs touch all the shores of and has now whom I had known in 1872. There probably Isn't a sdul along the old trail now that I knew then. "In 1872 the Apachea under old Ger onimo were raising runtyuses every now and then. They were bad In dians quick as lightning, and they had first rate leadership. Up around Denver were the Utes, who were peace ful. and farther over were the Hopls, who were also on good terms with the whites. But in 1872 when a Wells Fargo coach went out, there .were al ways men with shotguns guarding It, nnd It wasn't ai Infrequent thing to have a holdup. I atirays felt that the vigilantes of these days were as bad men as were the robbers. "I want to cover that old trail again.

Its the brain and I brawn taken in connection with the consolidated effort and single- ness of purpose that builds happy homes, successful countries, States of honor and nations of power. The people of Haakon county as a whole should from this tinle on pull together—north, south, east and west should come to realize that in union only there lies ion and thought can we meet as we should the issues that at all times confront the American peo ple of Haakon county. More than ever before the American people stand for America first, last and all the time. It makes no differ ence what has brought us as a nation to a realization of the nec essity of united hought and act ion, whatever it was, the fact re mains that ninety per cent of the American people to day are mak ing it mighty uncomfortable for the ten per cent who are hesitat ing to declare for America first, last and all the time. This strong joining togetner of all American the whole historv of American patriotism and pow er. And this same joining togeth er the fqrees of Haakon county i will eventually place the stamp of the methods that re- spects the rights, interests and Another privileges of us all.

It wall require some courage, some effort and the joining of hands nd a mighty pull to accomplish this, but remember that when our fathers rose not in their strength but in weakness a small company of three millions of people nd refused longer to pay the unjust tax that was being arbitrarily imposed on them at the mouth of British guns and point of British swords hey pledged to each other their lives, their for tunes and their sacred honors and from that resolve eventually came the greatest nation of all the earth and from a like resolve, al though on a much smaller scale hall yet come forth the greatest county of this—the one greatest state in the union.
