" The Man From the West"
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter.
YOU know, boys and girls, somewhere in these United States
there's a big, soft? voiced Texas cowboy, and if you know anybody
like that, tell him that Winifred McEvoy is looking for him.
No? don't get me wrong now. Winifred isn't looking for that guy
to collect a bill, or to bawl him out for that tough cut of Texas bee!
she got from the butcher shop last week. She wants to thank that
eowpuncher for s little favor he did her once ? a little favor that she will never
i forget as long as she lives.
And back of that favor lies a story ? an adventure story of the first water.
This yarn goes back to 1924, when Winifred, with her husband and
her three-year-old baby boy, was living In England. At that time, a
bunch of American cowboys were staging a rodeo at the Crystal Palace
In London, and they had the whole doggone conservative town talking
about the capers they cut up and the monkeyshining they did, at hours
when the show was all over and they were supposed to be In bed for
the night.
Those cowpnnchers rode down the busiest streets In London, on horseback,
?t full gallop, letting out "yips" and "whoopees" until the Londoners' ears rang.
They lassoed the hats off of London cops, and dropped their lariats on the
necks of London gentlemen, wrinkling their immaculate collars, and discom
posing them most horribly, bah Jovel Winifred McEvoy thought they were a
bunch of roughnecks ? and so they were. I mean, It takes a roughneck to reason
with a regiment of cows. Few college professors have ever made a success
of It
Cowboys Were Wild and Fearful Creatures to Her.
Winifred never expected to meet one of these cowboys face to face. If one
of them had come up and rung her front door bell, she'd have run screaming
for the police. That's how scared she was of those wild and woolly westerners.
But one day she did meet one ? and she has never hqd any cause to regret It
Now It so happened that the whole McEvoy family were pretty
keen on aviation. Winifred's husband had been an officer in the Royal
Air Force and had flown a sky buggy all through the Wortd war. And
after this thing I'm going to teil you about had happened, he said
that he'd often been scared during the war, but he'd never run across
anything In the line of fright like the terror he felt just a second or
two before that big Texas cowboy went into action.
There was a big aeronautical exhibition staged at Bendon, In July, 1924, and
the McEvoys went up to see It At that time, Uendon was Just a big field, with
no modern facilities for safeguarding the crowds that came to see the ex
hibition. Nothing but a rope separated the spectators from the field, and Wini
fred and her husband were standing at that rope, well up in the front of the
crowd.
Interestin' Doin's Take Their Minds From Baby.
They had their little boy with them, too? Winifred's husband was holding
him in his arms. The little fellow didn't like that very much, though. He kep*
"I Saw a Rope Settle Down Around That Baby Form."
laying: "Want to sit down," and after a while, Winifred's husband set him on
the ground between him and his wife. Then he became absorbed In the ex
hibition again.
Winifred was absorbed In that exhibition, too. She, herself, had
been attached to a flying unit during the war, and she was as Interested
in aviation as her husband. Planes were zooming and stunting all over
the field, landing and taking off so faat you could hardly keep count of
them. And the next thing Winifred knew, she looked down to where
her baby should have been ? where she could have sworn he was ? and
? well ? he Just wasn't there.
Frightened, Winifred cast a quick glance out across the field. And there
she saw something that fairly made her heart stop beating. A plane had Jnst
landed and was taxiing to a atop fifteen or twenty feet away from the ropes
behind which she was standing. And toddling across the field right into the
path of the plane was ? her little boy.
Youngster Wanders Into Jaws of Sudden Death.
Says Winifred: "I was terrified. In one horrible second, I could see tbnt
tiny, beloved figure cut to pieces by the whirling propeller blades. I knew I
couldn't get to my baby In time to do any good? and the roar of the plane
would prevent even my voice from reaching him.
"Crying my husband's name, I attempted to clamber under the
ropee, when I heard a quietly compelling voice that even reached my
hysterical underatanding. The voice said: 'Don't get excited. Ma'am,'
and then I saw something happen that I didn't think poasible.
"I felt a Jerking movement beside me, heard a swishing sound and saw a
rope settle down around that baby form. In a fraction of a second, he was
pulled to the ground and dragged to safety, ont from under the whirling blades
of the propeller.
A Life-Line Floats in From Heaven.
"It all happened so swiftly that the crow (who were craning their necks
at a particularly daring exhibition up above) didn't realize what had occurred.
As I reached for my baby, the rope waa deftly fiicked from around bis body.
He was slightly disheveled, but quite unhurt. And by the time my husband
and I realized that we really had a son, our cowboy friend was gone.
"I had a hazy recollection of a very large Stetson, strong hands on
a rope, and a wonderful voice? but we were never able to find our
baby*a reacuer. I hope? If this story is every published? that thct
quiet voiced man will see It, and I know that he hae the constant
prayers and gratitude of a widowed mother, who haa now only the
son he aaved for her."
So, boys and girls. If yon run across that Texas cowpuncher Just Eire him
that message from Winifred.

Michigan Jack Pine Does
Not Mature for 80 Years
Considerable has been said In the
, past regarding the large nmount of
mature Jack pine that may be found
on state-owned lands, particularly In
state forests. Most of these reports
emsnate from those who would like
to see this timber harvested for com
mercial purposes, writes Albert Stoll,
Jr? In the Detroit News.
A careful check of the state holdings
would reveal that there Is very little.
If any, so-called mature Jack pine on
these holdings. What undoubtedly Is
meant Is the merchantable Jack pine.
Under the most favorable growing con
ditions Jsck pine -matures In Michigan
at about eighty to ninety years of sge.
It ts conceded, however, that before
! this period much of this forest growth
I becomes merchantable for pulpwood,
bos wood railroad tics and (ha like

ifter reaching maturity. If Are and dis
ease are eliminated from these stands
the trees may persist for ninny year*
longer without showing signa of de
teriorating.
Reforestation In Michigan did not
begin until 1004, and even the oldest
of our jack pine plantations are far
from being mature today. It la quite
true that some of the land which re- 1
verted to the state did contain a fair j
stand of natural Jack pine which la
approaching close to matnrlty. but*
there Is so little of this that the state i
would be unwarranted in attemptinf I
to harvest It
The Jack pine tree of northern
Michigan, while not as valuable com- j
merclally as other species of pines,
or hardwood, has gone far In covering
the lumbering and lire scars of the
past generation and has a distinct rec
reational value.

Universe Is Pouring Oat Its
Wealth to Lover of Nature
Dally the lover of nature gathers
the fruits of seed sown In the be
ginning of the world. For him no
season is dull, for each Is successive
ly absorbing. In spring he Is en
tranced by the awakening of myriad
forms of life; summer reveals the
maturity of all creation ; autumn
brings the fulfilment of earlier
promises ; winter lulls life to sleep,
with its assurance of the resurrec
tion. All weathers are one : The
rains of spring nourish all nature:
the beats of summer mature and
ripen its fruits; the frosts of winter
give rest and peace; In ail he re
joices. Each day Is good. In the
mprnlng life awakens with him;
through the noon It works ; the peace
and quiet of evening shed their bene
diction upon him.
Be knows no dull moment ; he
seeks not to hurry time. If he be
delayed be may discover something
never before seen by man and his
Impatience is forgotten. His youth
Is filled with the Joys of discovery ;
In middle age the marvels about him
hold his Interest undlmmed; he
awaits old age with calmness, for he
is one with the universe and is con
lent. ? Edward A. Preble
