“It's time to begin considering my
vacation,” said the little stenographer,
dubiously, as she examined the con-
tents of her pocket book. “Honestly,
sometimes I wonder which is prefer
able—to Btay at home and be con-
tent with spending money you earn
each week as it comes along, without
thought or worry—or to begin hoard-
ing early In May and go without your
lunch and give up matinees and re-
gard even nickel shows as expensive
treats, and fast from all candy and
soda—In fact, save every cent you
can, and then borrow some, so you
can go away for two weeks and
spend It!"
“Been saving since early In May,
have you?” remarked the bookkeeper,
sollcitlously. “I thought you were
looking thin and worn. I had sup-
posed It was Just the need of a vaca-
tion and I didn't want to mention It,
as I might frighten you. Why don’t
you stay at home and fatten up? You
could get a big steak every Say In the
week at the club for what you’d pay
for It once on a vacation.”
The Uttle stenographer eyed him
suspiciously, but there wasn’t a hint
of a smile In his eyes.
"Well, I am considering It,” she ad-
mitted. “When I think of all the
money I’ve wasted on vacations it
makes me positively 111 1 Actually 1
could run an automobile on It!
"Besides, what do vacations amount
to?" went on the little stenographer
“I can go in bathing here at home
Just as well—the water's Just as re-
freshing. I can sit on the sand here,
Just as well, and It will be Just as
Sticky and grimy. I can walk around
under a stylish sunshade and sit on
the porch and talk. In my best clothes,
exactly as well and as satisfactorily
as I can ’way off somewhere at large
expense.
“Then when It’s all over I can look
In my purse, count a roll of bills that
haven’t been spent and get seats for
all the shows I want to see during the
year!
“It would mean a chance to get ac-
quainted with one’s friends, too. Hon
estly, I’ve got dozens of married
friends, who I know would be glad to
have me go out and see them, but
I never have the chance. Think
what I could accomplish in the way
of renewing old friendships In the
course of two or three weeks!"
The bookkeeper nodded his com-
mendation. “Then you'll have a
chance to take In a bunch of summer
parks, won’t you?" he said. “And you
can see the Bights that you’ve never
had time to look at, and you can hear
the good music, take long rides, go
out Into the woods, pick flowers, have
picnics—oh, there's so much one can
do!
"That’s what they all say,” added
the bookkeeper. "But why can’t you
be honest? Why don’t you Bay right
out that there's no use In your golns
up to the lake If Jimmy Isn’t going
to be there, that If he's to be In town
you’d JiiRt as soon stay, too? Why
don’t you tell me truthfully that you
expect to sleep as late as you can,
Just getting up In time to press your
best dress before Jimmy arrives to
lake you out? Why don’t you admit
that you'd like to spend your money
on personal attractions as long as
Jimmy’s around—and keep him right
at hand?”
The little stenographer opened her
mouth several times to remonstrate—
but no words came “Why—why—"
she finally gasped. “I never—”
Just then the telephone rang.
"Well, what do you think?” She
Issued from the telephone booth all
excitement. “I’ve got to gft all ready
to go away In two weeks! I never
dreamed of going before August, but
I’ve got to go on the 20th of this
month, and I haven’t got any clothes
ready. I haven’t even got a suit!
"Oh, I wonder If the firm’ll let me
go at that time. I'll have to sound
Mr. Brown this afternoon. Isn't It
gTeat? Up on the lake—you know,
the same old place we always go!
Oh, I can hardly wait! Don’t you
envy me? Think of the swimming
and the canoeing and the woods and
the all day hammocks—doesn’t It
make you homesick?”
"How about those financial straits?"
the bookkeeper Inquired.
“Oh, mother’ll advance all I want,"
replied she, as she looked absently
Into space. Then she smiled raptur-
ously.
“Jimmy call you up?” hazarded the
bookkeeper.
“They’re going to give him a vaca-
tion after all. ThingB have changed.
He didn’t dream he'd—”
She stopped suddenly and glared,
with Are in her eyes, at the book-
keeper, because he was smiling.—

By Leu smiling. Deputy.
Pub Feb. T-14-JI,
While we dawdled In the shade cat.
by the wagon, the Bantys told us thei
history. It was that of restless wai
derers who constitute a never-ceasln
-caravan from as far east as Louisian
wending westward and north throur
Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico an
Arizona. They find a virgin-country
break it, and nature heaps her boun
ties In their laps. Then comes a ba,
year, and they have made no pro
vision; or tl>e spirit of the rover, th.v
will uot die, wakes once more; agaii
their wagons take thtfir whtntng way
through the wilderness.
Surely the goal will prove fabulously
rich; always that hope—it never burns
out. The memory of starvation can
not dim; hardships and distance dr
but fan It; It tires their bouIs at; tie
lure of gold tempts prospectors. And
on their heels comes the plodding
farmer, who goes patiently to work to
wrest a living out of the claims
they have abandoned, and wakes,
some morning, to find that civilization
is knocking at his door and he is
rich.
Banty had tried raising maize close
to the nations. No; the climate did
not agree with him and his wife.
“I liked It, Ed,’ she protested.
"But it wasn't doing you no good,
Goldie," he said. "I could see that
easy."
He had nothing to say against the
climate. It was good enough climate,
but its effects were far from satisfac-
tory. In consequence, they had dis-
posed of their acres to migrate to the
Panhandle. All that was years ago.
"That land is selling at $20 an acre
now-,' I observed.
"Twenty dollars. I swan! Do you
hear that, girl? This gen’l’man says
they’re paying $20 an acre for that
plains land,’’ said Banty, his eyes glit-
tering "And we done sold ours for
$8. If we'd only waited!”
"Yes," his wife sighed; “It’s too bad
And we done lost that $1,900 In New
Mexico, you recollect, Ed?"
Indeed, he did. Banty wagged his
head over the Inscrutable ways of the
jade Fortune, and murmured, Well,
well. Who’d have thought It?"
This was a worn-out tale to us, one
of little meaning. Nesters came and
nestera went. If they did not go soon
enough we sometimes furnished the
Impetus; for. of course, the southw-est
was Intended by the Creator to be a
cow country, and it Is an Iniquity that
agriculturists should win it for corn
and cotton and other mainstays of
life.
Banty had fenced a quarter section
near El Capltan mountains, and, with
this as a base of operations, had put
his nestegg in sheep. But the sheep
had dived over a cliff on a night of
rocking storm, and there was none
to prove what, or who, propelled them.
Much good it would have done him
could he have proved it. So once more
he had gathered his scant belongings
into a wagon to set out for that
promised land.
“This is the last time; yes, sir,”
cried Banty, in his excited cracked
tones. “Where we’re going now they
say it’s a regular Garden of Eden,
like what the Good Book tells about.
All you have for to do is to stir the
ground some aid you've got a crop.
Six cuttings of alfalfa In a year; yes,
sir.”
"And don't forget how calm and
peaceful It all is. Ed," Goldie spoke
up. "Don't you mind how Brother
Ducey said they were all so friendly?
He said no man’s hand was lifted
against his neighbor, Brother Ducey
did.”
Huh-huh," Dave grunted. He had
given the recital his most earnest at-
tention, and now he Bhook his head
reprovingly.
"That’s just the way It Is every time
the way you done. It’s what I’ve
been telling these boys here for ten
years,” he declared. “Birds of a
feather gather no moss."
What’s that you say, Mr. Dave?”
A rolling stone gathers no feath-
ers," Dave corrected sternly. "You all
know what I mean."—McClure’s Muga-
