Epworth League Had a Fine 

Time at Various Hones 

in Town 

One of the most novel and interesting 

socials ot toe year was given on 

Friday evening of Laat week by the 

EpHO th League. The progressive social 

was planned and carried out under 

the aole direction of Rev. and 

Mrs. S. Morley Preston and their 

heLpers. The social represented a 

Imir r.f t •'•' t"ii.I.-rl Klj|tc« «ryt a fill 

at a. vex at oi i tie most topical cit>es 

at which places a separate course waa 

served. 

The basement of the Methodist 

church waa appropriately arranged to 

xepna^nt Ciraon City. At this place 

the touriots were served with the 

substantial foods of the mining camp. 

Fxom Carson City the various groups 

of pleasure seekers departed on the 

fast train for SanFranciaco, the residence 

of Mrs. Brodie having been 

d*-corated to represent this great 

western city. Here diinty Japanese 

maids served the gueata to a course 

of fruit cocktail and wafer*. The 

next place of inter eat visited w*a 

New Oil-.-m-.or perhaps better known 

to Gaykud peop'e a* the residence of 

Mr. and Mrs. D. H. Hutcbins. At 

this place, also, arrangements had 

been made to impress upon the guest* 

the nature of the city they wete visiting. 

The tables were beautifully 

cuits, creamed chicken and salad was 

served by skilled nezro waitresses 

Che travellers journeyed from New 

Orleans to the residence of Dr. J. P. 

Fox on East Main street which place 

had beeb elaborately decorated to 

represent the While House. As the

And again, as be mused, be saw a 

patch of white at tbe end of tbe gar 

den. Breathless he watched, and closer 

and cioser came the ghostly figure un 

til It stood Just beneath bis window. 

Then a voice said. '1 have come to 

pay you for the vegetables." 

"Ohr" His usual readiness of speech 

bad forsaken tbe clergyman. "Ob. 1

The Bev. Beverly, peering over the 

sill, caught tbe sparkle In her eves as 

she made her half apology. 

"Ton needed your salad late," he 

said dryly. 

"Ah"—ber little laugh rippled out- 

"tbtok of my predicament! Some peo

"I saw yon," the Bev. Beverly to-

He atoned. "I hardly dare aaV* 

myself tbe luxury. It Is cheaper to 

raise one's vegetables than to buy

"I suppose." doubtfully, "that your

"No, but there are donations." His

"Such ss roses?" Sbe was laughing

Beverly be?an to beat. 

"May I come over some time and

ha asked. 

"Come now," was tbe quick re- 

sponse. 

He went, and It was tbe beginning 

of friendship.

< But did It ever occur to you lhat I 

i might prefer a man to a fortune?" 

"You would miss tbe fortune," was 

1 the quiet answer. "You were not 

made for love to a cottage, Con 

stance." 

But Constance was down tbe path 

She bent over a pink rose bush snd 

nicked a I.ml rnst as the Rev Beverly 

Alden came In. 

" "Rofes red and violets blue," sbe 

quoted. "Can you tell me the rest of

" 'If you love mo as I !ove you.'" He 

hesitated. "You mustn't make me say 

such things." 

"Why not?" 

"Because I have nothing to offer you 

but a cottage and a vegetable garden." 

He was looking down at ber wltb som

Aunt Anne's chagrin over tbe en 

gagement found an outlet to a letter 

to Warren Olmstead. "Come up snd

But wben Warren's answer came It 

was a revelation. 

"Of ail things!" Aunt Anne ejacu

asked. 

"Read that," ssid Aunt Anne trag 

ically. 

It was a brief epistle, but It was 

very extraordinary, no doubt, for Con

letter, crying "H^rrsb!" 

"Of all things!" Aunt Anne ejacu 

lated again. 

Cousin net- oiught her b?**th quick-

In tbe amethystto* haze of an April 

morning on tbe Arizona foothills the 

cowboys of Circle H wheeled tbelr 

bronchos toto tbe gray dust of the 

trail. 

There was a wild Jangle of spurs, a 

clatter of restive hoofs, and they were 

off like one of tbe brown whirlwinds 

of tbelr own desert to meet Gypsy and 

"tbe boss," wbo were coming to tbe

They had derisively hurled "Arlos, 

L-ynel" at tbe bronzed young foreman

persistently refused to Join their re 

ception committee. 

It really was not the coming of Her-

tbe return of Gypsy, their little com 

rade of tbe range, whom tbey had not

school in France, followed by two 

more of travel and society, might 

have changed tbelr merry, fun loving

Sbe was coming back as she had 

promised—tbat was tbe dominant con 

sideration—and off they went, whoop-

Ned iJiyne, however, knew different 

ly. He had seen ber a year ago, and 

tbe knowledge bad come to him then. 

She was a young lady, and tbey—and 

be—were only cowboys. As he leaneo 

against tbe gate be thought of the old 

days. He remembered her eyes and 

parted lrto tbe world, and be remem 

bered bow sbe bad said to him: 

"Gooddy. Ned. Father Is going to 

give you tbe place of foreman. Make 

the roost of your opportunities and buy 

out tbe Bar T. Don't forget me. Ned." 

and ber eyes bad been moist when sbe 

suddenly dropped tbem. 

"I'll never forget you, Gypsy." be 

bad promised stoutly, pressing the 

band tbat fluttered In bis. 

"Wben I come home to the ranch 1 

want you to be here to meet me," she 

added. 

"I'll be sure to meet you." he re 

turned. Then the train had borne ber 

awav to tbe new Hf» •" different frcs: 

that among the boya on her father's 

ranch. 

Ned Layne and Gypsy Herlngton had 

uwu great comrades In those care free 

days, and If now he was the only one 

not riding out to meet her it was be- 

SeVesM bo GsK that loose old days were 

gone forever and would best be for

00 other purpose tbsn to see her. but 

thv tesuii bad been a sadiy discourag

hto dreams. Gypsy, dressed to a be 

wildering gown and moving with be 

wildering ease and elegance among tbe 

elegant throng tbat oppressed tbe 

ranchman, waa on her way to tbe 

opera under escort of an immaculately 

clad young Englishman possessed of 

a big title, and Teyne was left to ne 

entertained by ber father. 

Sbe bad asked him to come back and 

breakfast with tbem, but ber changed 

bearing and tbe cool treatment accord 

ed to blm by tbe condescending noble 

man bad nettled Layne. He took tbe 

very next train back to tbe land of 

sunshine, where people were not proud 

and stock up snd did not forget old 

friends. 

On bis return tbe cowboys of Circle

of their little cbum of tbe ranch. 

"Yes, 1 saw her," be answered, veil

"And this, to the way you keep your

Some Bathroom Mottoes. 

It Is very odd tbat while mottoes 

have been mad*. !nYe2{cd - . -wrrow. 

ed for every other room to tbe bouse, 

the bathroom should be mottoless. 

verses appropriate to tbe guest rocm 

come prettily framed, tbe dining room 

walls sometimes show a mural deco 

ration of good cheer, an appropriate 

verse is carved into tbe library mantel, 

while smoking room, den and living 

room each boasts a special Incentive to 

smoke, loaf or Indulge In cheery chat 

ter to painted, pyrograpbed or sten 

ciled verse or prose. Only tbe bath 

room remains mottoless. 

Surely, with so vast a field for In 

vention or Imitation, there should be 

00 dearth of mottoes for tbe bathroom. 

For example, take Bacon's "Clesnness 

of body waa ever esteemed to proceed 

from a due reverence to God." 

And here's one from sixteenth cen 

tury's John I ley wood:

deadlock existed between the respon

were cxtreme'y perturbed. They had 

become so dependent upon artificial 

illumination that to them all was dark 

without it. Not so this man. Meadow, 

grove and stream, the earth and every 

common sight to him did seem ap 

pareled with celestial lUiht. He went

this date will moke the shortest session

Juat what the last few days will 

bring forth is problematical at this

anl it is oelieved the close

week all in titers have been in a 

chaotic state owing to the rush of attending 

the bringing of the session to 

a close end what results will be accomplished 

it has been impossible to 

predict. 

It is true the hurry up has called 

for the killing of a good many bills 

in order to get over the ground but 

none of any moment were handled ui 

this minaetr and as a whole the work 

has b.t-n satisfactory to all, although
