The Price of a Week’s Board By RUTH GRAHAM Tom Bums, a farmer's boy, whoj didn't like farm work, went from UH liols out Into the wild west. There lit wandered about, making a living a* best he could, but there was little for I him to do. except kill the animals ot I the wilderness either for their meat , or their skin*. During his wanderiu.--’ Tom married the daughter of a scttiei who had come from Ohio. She wished ! to get back to that state as much as I her husband wanted to return to Jill ) nois. But instead of drifting eastward ( they drifted farther westward, for a--1 civilization Encroached upon theta the wild animals, by which Tom made a living. bEcarhe scarce, and they were 1 obliged to find new hunting grounds So at last they found themselves in | I a gulch where game was plenty and, I neighbors were few. It was a deso I late life, especially for the woman | ; Tom offered to take bis wife east, but J ; she knew he had never fitted himself for the work tc lie done there, and she I preferred to remain where they wen j rather than run the risk of starving in i her former home. One day a man came trudging up tin’. i gulch and, stopping at the Burns cal. . in, asked Mrs. Bums if he could be accommodated for a short time. She I told him that her husband would l>» I home soon and then she could give; ian answer. The stranger said hej ■ would pay well for his board. When Tom returned it was ngre<sl between; him and his wife that they would take 1 the stranger in, though there was only one room in the cabin, and they wen all obliged to sleep in the same room divided into two parts by a curtain. The man went out every morning) prospecting for something—he didn't say wbat—and every night returned to the cabin. He remained with the Burns couple a week, then said to them: “I’m going away from here, and 11 can’t pay you any board. I have been I told that an article is to lie found in; this region that is very valuable. Had I found it 1 could have paid yen thou j sands of dollars for my keep. As it is I can’t pay you anything.” ••That’s all right, stranger,” said John. “We wouldn't have felt warranted in charging you over $4 any way, so it doesn’t matter much." "It matters more to me than to you It may be that I’ve missed the deposit I’ve been looking for. and some daj 1 you may stumble on it. But you won't' | recognize it if you do. I'm going tc leave you some chemicals, and if you i, over come across the article 1 refer to I and mix it with the chemicals and liunij the compound it will give a green flame." He gave t4em some idea ot what the; substance looked like in its crude form and, pouring the chemicals from his stock into bottles, left them with him.' with 114 s address, telling them if they ■ ever found the article to write him! and lie would make them rich. A month passed after the stranger’sJ departure and the Burnses would have) almost forgotten bis coming had it not been for the bottles he had left them that stood in the cupboard. One day John, instead of hunting in the gulch and the region thereabout, went down to its mouth and, rounding a mountain spur, entered a valley. He encounter ed a trapper, who told him that noth Ing could live there, not even anitnnis. and there was no use for him to try tc get any game there. So desolate was the place that it was called Death valley.. John had heard of it and con ) eluded to have a look at it before going home. So he wandered about in it. He hadn't gone far before he saw scattered about a substance that answered the description his boarder liad given him. He gathered some of it and took it home with him. After supper, while his wife was washing the dishes, he took n piece of the substance he had brought from Death valley trad, putting it in a tin pan. poured the chemicals over it and set fire to it. As he did so his wifi paused In wiping a dish and watched him. As the flame burst forth the two looked at each other with surprise a n( j pleasure. It burned green. The couple talked that night ovet various plans to secure what value there might be in their find to them selves. They thought of presenting a claim for the gtvund where they had found the substance, but realized that they were too poor and too ignorant of the subject to handle It themselves, so they wrote to their lodger that they thought they had found what he hail been looking for. He came to see them and John showed him a specimen of his find and also that it burned green The stranger uttered an exclamation of delight. "That is borax," he said, “used for washing purposes in every household in America.” ( lie told John that if he would tell him where it lay he would form a , company to take the ground, work it ■ nnd would give John half of all he made out of it himself. John accept ed his proposition, and an agreement was written out and signed by both according to the terms. It turned out the stranger had a large . borax company behind him with un _ limited capital. A company was form ed, and he retained 20 per cent of the » stock. Os this he assigned one-half to - John, which gave him more money f than lie and his wife could spend r They went back to the east, where they lived in comfort for the rest of r their lives. 1
