REMARKS OS SKAGUAV
Among th« many gard'en* in Skag
ti»v tfcat are praised for their thrift
and productiveness, there are *ew
txi'er than that of Mrs. Louise
Brockway on Ninth Avenue near
Broadway. This garden was let to
George Rumple and under his care
ful handling the little plot of
&round has produced wonders.
Beats that at one time were thought
to b« au impossipillty in the far
north have grown to perfection. On
loni frrom the seed are in, thriving
condition. Many other vegetables
are rapidly reaching maturty. In
th* garden of Lyle Spear are mar
line growing things, that have
be»n carefully tended by Mr. and
Mrs. Spear. The little apple tree
that has been so long admired by
everyone is now bending beneath
its load of fruit. Mrs. Sarah Achl
scu has a fine showing of apples
a» ha» A. J. Achisou on his little
suburban garden. The potatoes of
Skagway are exceptionally fine this
season and may be found in every
garden in towu as many of the pa"
trlo'ic people will eat many pota
toes and little meat during the
street of war. Had more of ths resi
dents of the town thought of living
instead of staying in Skaguay and
had planned to that end. We might
nave many add«d beauties to our
already beauty-famed little
place of homes. But so many
thought only of making a "stake"
and' "eturning to the States, and
f.ir tnat reason did not try for
anything that makes for betterment
o' local conditions. Trees, shrubs,
fruit oushes, pretty arbors and many
other beautifiers would- have been
*dde-* and the old town would have
oten made to blossom witn beauty,
is it' too late to begin the good
Wcrk? The trees set out. on State
street by the Skaguay improvement
Society are. In soite of neglect, do- I
lug well and add beauty to the |
street Had the City Council kept |
faith with the Society in their agree
tfett to have the trees trimmd1 and
cared for they would be in still
o'etter condition. Near the school
bous», the children swung and i
Played so much og the young trees [
that many in that locality died and
n-any were so abused by mischievous
urchins on their w;ay along the thor
oueh'are that they are stunted
aud mairormecJ. A little care from
thq city dads as per agreement
eveg at this la»e hour would be
very thankfully received by those
who went to the trouble and to
gifcat expense to have the trees
olaated. |

MAGIC
"Th« l<ttle house is brown and down
at heel,
Thp casements crumble, and the
porches sag;
Complaining hinges hold a crooked
gate.
And from the chimney sullen
smoke wreaths lag.
But, as I pass, within a window
hUug :■ r »
I see a service flag with triple
star a—
Ani», all at once, the walls grow
tall and fair.
And not an ugly line the'r beauty
mars;
Carved, stately pillars welcome at |
A beckoning finger from each |
chimney starts, |
And, in a moment changed, the lit
tle house.
Becomes a palace filled with roy*

KNIGHTS OF ROAD
By MELLICENT BLEYER.
(Oopxrifht, 1918, br Wntmi Nnr*pip*r Union.)
"Well, that's the limit! What's
come over you—gone clear daffy T"
Coarse-grained and hoarse-throated
as he was, there was more of wonder
than ridicule in the tones of Big Red
dy, professional hobo. It was at the
camp of a group of wandering one»
that Reddy had come across Mystery
Blair gazing fixedly at a photograph.
With a quit* flush Blair thrust th«
picture out of eight.
"Just honest admiration of a pretty
face," was the reply given, with a
forced laugh. "I had quite an adven
ture last evening and the original of
that picture had a part In it."
"Hello—there's trouble! Make for.
cover!" spoke Reddy sharply. There
had come from one of the group pre
paring breakfast a birdlike cry, a
signal, a warning with which every
schooled tramp was familiar. Two
strangers had suddenly Intruded. One
wore an official badge. "That's the
man," spoke his companion, and he
pointed to Blair.
Instantly there was the closing In
of the circle. The presentment was
that of the law against a comrade.
The group were staunch and loyal for j
defense.
"This Is no arrest," announced the
marshal.
"No, it is just contrary," added his
companion. "I would like to have you
accompany me to my office," he ad
dressed himself to Blair. "You were
something better than a hero last
night. As legal adviser of Miss Ina
Trescott, whose life .and property you
saved, I am asked to talk over mat
ters with you."
"I don't see the use," replied Blair.
'Tm glad If I did all you say."
"He did something, you can count on
that!" broke in big Reddy, "for he
tossed all night with that burned hand
of his."
Mystery Blair for a moment looked
as though resentful of patronizing or
reward. Then his hand closed on the
half-burned photograph in his pocket.
In the current of unusual circum
stances, he decided to allow it to drift
him whither it would.
He had been dubbed "Mystery"
Blair by his comrades. He had Joined
the hobo contingent one day, asking
the fnvor of companionship and va
riety, telling them he had made a
failure of business life and envied
them their unconventional existence.
The evening previous, passing a
charming little bungalow, Blair had
seen smoke and flames issuing from
its front. Cries for help echoed from
the Interior. He had burst in a locked
door. Continued cries for deliverance
nerved and guided him. He came upon
a young girl lying upon a couch, evi
dently an Invalid. Blair seized a
counter-pane, wrapped her up In It
and breasted the blaze. Neighbors
had gathered and he had placed the
girl In their charge. Then the mem
ory of that confiding face, the soft,
clinging arms, seemed an ideal, forcing
him to further effort.
Three hours after the call at th«
hobo camp Mystery Blair was a new
being In appearance. The lawyer had
Insisted not only on medical attention
but a complete rehabilitation.
"You're spoiling me for the road,"
Blair had remonstrated, with a quiet
smile.
"Why hit it again f challenged the
attorney. "I fancy, Mr. Blair, that
line Is not your natural bent Again,
we must be presentable when we call
upon Miss Trescott"
When he was In the presence of the
fair young girl, just recovering from
a spell of sickness, and her hand
lingered gratefully In his own, there
stirred within him new and vivid Amo
tions. He had arisen to depart when
his eye fell upon a little framed pho
tograph on the medicine stand. He
gave quite a start
"Will you pardon me," he spoke in
terestedly, "but I have seen this young
man, I am sure."
"Oh, Mr. Devon!" Instantly cried
MI«« Trescott, greatly excited, "tell
hlml Can it be possible, that at
last—"
The lawyer silenced ter eager rev
elations with a gesture. He took up
the photograph and led Blair Into an
adjoining room. It was a graphic
story that he related—of wild, reck
less Julian Trescott, the brother bf
ina, getting Into trouble foolishly, flee
ing from friends who could protect
him and losing himself among tangle^
highways.
Blair recalled the original of the
picture. He was sure that nearly a
year back he had met Its owner In his
wanderings. He was rare of It when
he showed the picture to Reddy.
"You know every knight of the
road," Blair said to him. "Can thif
one be found?"
"It would take some financing and
It may be a long, long trail," submit
ted Beddy, and this was provided for,
and two months later Blair reappeared
with the brother of Ina.
Blair had bade good-by to the road
and his old hobo comrades. As Wal
r them Blair, author, he now set about
utilizing the experience he had gon<
through. He was at the new Trescotl
home one day.
"Mlfifl Trescott," he eald, "I am glac
to say that I Have made arrangement
for the publication of The WorldV
Highway.' It was my fljst meetinj
with you that gave its plan an lm
petus."
'1 am glad," spoke lovely lips anc
eyes.
i "And later love made me succesafu
in my ambition, love for you," he said
