At the top of the first rise she s opped a moment to look down into the valley where the Box 55 lay among the cottonwoods by the river. From the hollow beyond, rose a cloud of slowly moving dust. She knew what that meant. Cattle or horses were on the march. A rider showed on the nearer lip of the hollow. While she watched, a second came out of the valley and joined him. One of the men rode a bay horse, the other a black. It was too far to be sure, but she thought she recognized the one on the bay. There was a lithe grace about the figure that suggested Jeff Brand. A faint pink beat into her cheeks. That reckless had been in her thoughts a great deal during the past two weeks. She found the combination of deference and audacity in him fascinating. At breakfast Ellen mentioned the riders she had seen. Lane Carey took this more seriously than she had expected. You werent near enough to know who they were?

She stopped, slim and straight, dark eyes flashing. I dont think that will be necessary, Mr. Brand. he told It will be a pleasure, her. They had reached the house. The girl moved up the porch steps and turned to look down at him. She said slowly, I can see Im not going to like you." Not at all abashed, he smiled up at her confidently. Oh, yes, you are. Very much. Ill take care of that. She felt anger stirring in her. Some people would call it impudence, she said, a tide of color in her cheeks. Ellen' turned and walked into the house, leaving him there. In Jeffs eyes, as he walked back little devils of misto the chief gleamed.

Without a word Terry swung to the saddle and jogged down the road. Jeff glared 'angrily at his broad, fiat back, then turned and walked into the office. What did Terry want? be asked abruptly. Carey looked at him, surprised. "Wanted to know if I had seen anything of a bunch of she stuff missing from a park where he had them herded." "What did you tell him? I dont like the way you ask that question, Jeff," the ranchman said quietly. Brand corrected his manner. to Sorry. I meant, were you able freely. Though times were hard, he had made a reasonably good living at because he had the Black Butte and ran the stage station. But some of his neighbors were hard pressed. Low prices and short feed had kept them impoverished. Until recently they had made ends meet by working part time for some of the big cattle outfits. But1 the large ranches, owing to the prevalence of rustling, bad made a ruling not to employ any man who had cattle of his own. The result had been to increase rather than decrease thefts.

The celebration began with an industrial parade in which 12,000 people demonstrated the progress made by the United States in the century of its existence. In the evening Governor Beaver of Philadelphia held a reception in honor of the official guests. On the second day, 30,000 members of state and federal military organizations paraded in review before President Grover Cleveland. At night the President held a public reception in the Academy of Music attended by thousands. Cleveland Is Speaker. On the third day, the real anniversary of the Constitution, exercises were held in Independence square before the building where the Constitution was drafted. President Cleveland made an address in which he concluded: As we look down the past century to the origin of our Constitution, as we contemplate Its trials and triumphs, as we realize how completely the principles upon which it Is based have met every national peril and every national need, how should we confess with Franklin, "God governs in the affairs of men; and how solemn should be the reflection that to our hands ts committed this ark of the people's covenant, and that ours Is the duty to shield It from Impious hands devoutly In the 20th century the anniversary has attracted general attention throughout the country.

By 1919 there were active committees working in 41 states with chair, men from: presidents of state bar associations; presidents of colleges; chairmen of school boards; presidents of historical societies; state branches of Sons of the American Revolution and other distinguished citizens. Under the guidance of the league, Constitution day was observed by 22 states and a hundred cities In that year. The National Security league tried to counteract the effect of attacks upon the Constitution by radicals out of office. In 1934 these radicals charged the Democratic President and congress with setting up a government disregarding the Constitution, a kind which the radicals of previous years had advocated. At that time measures were adopted to overcome the effects of financial panic in the fall of 1929 and the consequent business depression. To Save Our Liberties. Prominent Republicans and Democrats organized the American Liberty league to use all means in its power to prevent the destruction of those liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. The Constitution day anniversary in 1934 was observed by distinguished orators of both parties calling legislation for the relief of business as subversive of the Constitution. Meetings were held under the auspices of the SAR, DAR, YMCA, American Legion and other organizations. Some speakers defended the recovery' legislation as constitutional and said they had as profound respect for the Constitution as the critics of such legislation. This difference of opinion on fundamental issues made the 1934 celebration more notable than any before. It demonstrated, too, the rights Americans were privileged to exercise under this same Constitution. In more recent years there is a growing tendency to have I Am an American Day on September 17 as an especially appropriate way to celebrate the Constitution day. Those who become of age before that day and any aliens who have been naturalized are welcomed as new citizens of these United States by their local community officers. The pledge and national anthem given by these new citizens has such fervor that it makes one conscious anew of what it means to be an American. Few Changes. Perhaps this years celebration of Constitution day, just two months before a national election, would be a good time to look up the Constitution in any encyclopedia and study Drafted by 55 deleits articles. gates from 13 states, who, working four months In secret session, often violently disagreed, the Constitution now in its 157th year, has had few changes in its text. Among all the constitutions in the world it is the oldest and yet is well adapted to the expanding needs of the resourceful American people even in their complex civilization. Men like Washington, Franklin, Hamilton and Madison had a hand in shaping it and because of their divergent views compromised to make a "more perfect Union possible. You will learn that it confers powers upon the federal government and again exerts limitations upon both state and central governments. Today with accusations hurled by presidential candidates ringing ao loudly in our ears, a quiet contemplation of the original Constitution is almost a must for every citizen. It is a good way to celebrate Constitution day this year. Five Gospels of Americanism Which All of Us Should Know Albert J. Beveridge, statesman and historian, once wrote: People ask me, What is Americanism? I say, 'Read Its five gosthe briefest gospels ever pels penned. These are the five gospels: The Mayflower Compact, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the farewell address of George Washington and Lincoln' second inaugural. You can read them ail, every one of them, in lest than half an hour, and any man, or woman, or any boy or girl, who will read them will have the foundation, the climax, the beginning and the end, the heart, the limbs and the brain of true Americanism. And I like to feel that all these people who are living here for our country is the only thing, after all that every time they think of anything public, every time they think of tills nation, for which all of them are glad to go out and die. If need be that in that thought there sound the strains of the fife and drum of Bunker Hill; that in their victory, glorious and beautiful, never shall fail the heroism of Valley Forge and all that is sacred, all that is dear to our hearts, through our traditions of the great men and noble women, who have lived and sacrificed and died for this republic and its flag, shall stdl continue in our hearts and In our brains. Ail Kind of USED BAND j INSTRUMENTS - boy. " for the National Security leagut was organized to promote this instruction. The league prepared a catechism of the Constitution, circulating hundreds of copies. I urged schools to devote more time to the teaching of the Constitution and observance of the celebration ol We all laughed, but the policeman stationed there on the west gallery of the main floor of the Congressional library bent down to the small Deed It Is, Sonny. Its so priceless that there is a special guard like me here every hour of the day. Do you know what they are, Sonny? Nope, said the boy, his eyes growing larger. Theyre the birth certificates of this nation. That one up in the cabinet on the wall is the Declaration of Independence and this one in the case below is the Constitution of the United States. The guard pronounced the words with so much pride that they sent a thrill through us listeners and we edged closer to see the golden documents. Under Protective Glass. See, theyre specially lighted and kept under a protective glass coated with a yellow chemically treated film so the parchments wont fade. Here, speaking to all of us. Look at John Hancocks signature. Written big and bold so the king of England might read it without his spectacles. Have these documents always been here? asked a man in the group. No, theyve always been at the seat of government. At first that was New York. When Philadelphia became the capital, they were taken there. After congress fixed upon Washington as a permanent capital, they were moved to this city. And been here ever since? someone asked. For No, the guard explained, a short time when the British captured Washington during the War of 1812 they were removed to Virginia far enough away to be safe. They were preserved in a vault but in 1921 President Harding ordered them placed here. Why are some of the names rubbed off? asked the boy. We looked closer and saw a few signatures somewhat obliterated. They tell a story about that but no one can prove it. When the British attacked the city of Wasnington in 1814, these parchments were forgotten in the confusion that followed. Then a clerk of the state department, in whose custody they were, rolled them up in a hurry, shoved them into linen bags, and fled to Georgetown and then to Leesburg. It is said that on his journey the ink on the surface flaked off from this rough handling. Now will you remember, he asked the little boy, all those things on September 17, Constitution day? Thats the date on which the Constitution was finished way back in 1787. Philadelphia Celebrates. Not having such an introduction to the origin of our Constitution, most people do not even know when Constitution day is. But the Philadelphians have observed it with greater regularity than any other place in America. Perhaps this city is conscious of the distinction it holds in having Independence Hall, the building in which both these documents were drafted. In 1887 Philadelphia held a national centennial celebration on September 15, 10 and 17, arranged by a Constitutional Centennial commission. This commission 'ncluded representatives from each state and territory appointed by the governors; the President and his cabinet; governors and other officers from each state and territory, and members of the diplo- - We Pay IMMEDIATE DASH to be more fully instructed in thi nature of the Constitution and iti guarantees of their freedom.
