When the avcnging army of cattle

one man who was especially wanted. as
he was supposed not only to be the head
OF the rustlcr organization, but his
house was the headquarters of all the
men who were known as being opposed
to the big cattlcmen who owned stock
by the thousands.
This ranch was especially favored by
the cowboys on account of the presence
of daughter of Harvey Williams, the
owner. She was the belle of the bor-
der, and her nerve and daring MANY
times put to shame the COWBOYS who
shirlled duty or trouble on bad nights
She had only to say go and all would
go, vying with each other in their Of
forts to win smiles from the younn
queen of the prairies
When the invading band came into
the country Harvey heard of it. and. as
ne was unable to get his family away
before they came down upon him, he
barricadcd his home and determined to
fight it ont, hoping for the arrival of
some Of the boys from the range TO helm
him out.

in the Hartford Courant. Tho SETTING
up of the little pulpit on the deck, and
the rapid manner of its folding up and
