The next night the farmer lay awake
and listened; he did not get up until the
sound Of the bell came through the field,
and went up and down. mp and down

A light wind stirred the wheat, but
there was no other sound: nor did he

The more he thought about Il the
more mystifed he became. He feared
that the bell ringing would be repeat
ed, nor were his fears in vain. It be-
gan somewhat earlier than it had done
on the previous evening, and, armed
with his lantern and stout stick which
he had provided, Mr.. Clark sailed out
at the first ''clink, clinl1'' Of the bell.
and for nearly an hour followed it
about, as he had done on the previous
night, and to as little purpose.
Two of the nearest neigh bors threw
up their windows and listened when
they saw the lantern in the field. and
the singular affair began to be talked
of in the neigh borhood.
The only result of this second vista
minds of Mr.. Clark and those who
heard it, that it was really old Brindles
bell.
The next day Mr.. Clark called on the
Widow Garrett.
II came" he began, with assumed
confidence, ito buy your cowben-
suppose you'd as lief sell it, as you have
no use for it now?''
II should be glad TO do So" assured
the widow, ''but they did not think it
worth keeping, and SO buried it with
the cow
I'D pay you good price for it." he
continued, watching her keenly.

Piled sid be glad enough to sell it if
l could"
The man turned a shade paler.
II can't always tell my cow-bells
when I'm hunting my cows, they're so
like the others, and that was SO differ

I'm sorry" replied the widow.
''Oh, we'll. it don't matter" con-
Guided Mr. Clark. NOW I como to
think of it, the bell was cracked and
wasn't worth much. You'll be buying
q new COW, presume?'
The widow shook her head.
1T would be a great help to me-" she
said, "but / could not raise the money
to buy one"
That night the farmer decided not to
go out to the field, but he discovered
as did his neighbors, that the bell rang
just the same, whether he went out or
not.
Big boys began to whistle when they
had to IAsss the field after shutdown.

was a look of compassion in the pa

This was addressed to the first victim,
who, with neck and hands streaming
with blood sought to raise himself to
his feet Taking in the whole situa-
ton at a glance, the rancher assisted
the wounded man to his wagon and
then in his sturdy arms bore the ap-
parentiy hfeless body of the woman
to his side. Closing the store doors he
turned the key, and placing it In his
pocket, seized his horses by the bits
and swiftly led them to the house.
Drawing tho wagon close up to the
doorstep his first care was the woman,

rode like mad for the nearest physician,
several miles away in the direction of

With the close of day came several
other ranchers to the store and, finding

but upon entering the house they werc
Mortified at the sight there presented.
