soldiers.
The grant covered thirty-six miles one
way and eighteen the other.
How was that for ranch, anyway?
Now | am going to tell you a secret.
It's the way they make ranch grow
bigger ana bigger all the time.
The grant that / am talking to you about
takes up nearly the whole of a nice
valley and it's pretty nearly level. There
are fine streams and springs of water
among those hills, toe.

fellow to go to and be d kind of king all
by himself?
You can 90 out and kill deer once in a
while, and if you go little further UP you
can get lots OF bears-iust coolies of 'em,
and some of them grizzlies.
You can just stay at home and kill quail
and doves and mountain squirrel that
taste better than anything. You could
dress yourself in bearskins, you know, and
you could catch fish in the brooks and eat
acorns that grow all around you. That 5

mother bring them to me on tray.
All the time that the vaqueros were
rounding up the cattle other men were
working at the corrals.
They would sort out the "beef critters
that's what they call them-and take them
off to town in droves.
The worst thing they did, and the thing
that made me sure l never want to be a
cowboy, was the branding.
They would lassoo the calf-and, OF
course, they had to brand everything that
wasn't already marked-and then another
man would throw rope around the poor
things legs.
Mister calf would have to lie perfectly
still on his side, and generally he wouldn't
even bleat.
They did the branding at night mostly,
and they built big blazing fires of fat pine
to make light.
When calf couldn't move, because a
rope around his neck was fastened at the
other end to the horn of a saddle that was
on horse which planted its forefeet hard
and held him still-and because the rope
about mis- feet was held by another horse
that pulled in another direction-when he
lay there on his side with his eyes sticking
out they branded him.
A man would bring a red-hot branding
iron from the fire and hold it against the

skin.
The man told me that he didn't like to
burn the hole too deep.
He said if he did it would make such a
bad sore that the mark would never look
clear and pretty.
/ was very glad to hear there was a
reason for not letting that branding iron
burn in as far as it could.
When the burning was over they loosed
the ropes little and the calf got up.
Then they took big pair of shears and
slashed his ears.
They cut narrow strips they called "shoe
strings" and they slashed gashes that
made Swallow forks" l sat on the fence
and watched them do that for hours. At
first was going TO cry. I got down and
started to run.
1t seemed to me that if only somebody
would blow police whistle, if only could

He walked straight to the edge of the
cliff, and without 50 much as looking at
the money he threw it as far into the
water as he could.
Bobby lay on his face and nursed his
bitter heart. He was alone, forsaken,
despised. When he finally went back to
his tent somebody was waiting to tell
poor Bobby he was wanted at headquarters
again. The boy went, and in the great
assembly tent all the rank and file of that
little camping-out army were gathered.
Bobby sat down where he found vacant
seat, and presently the commanding Off
Ger stood up and began to talk, and pretty
soon Bobby was afraid it was about him.
And it was!
and the boys clapped their hands and
of other things, too; some that Bobby
had forgotten about and some that he
never knew at all. He made the boy out
regular trump, and Bobby said after
ward that he had just as soon listen to his
own funeral sermon as hear anybody talk
like that about him.
After awhile they made poor Bobby
who was SO much afraid that his knees
fairly knocked together-come up in front
and take something into his hands.

tire West, has built his immense business upon
the foundation of HONESTY, and his efforts
| have not only been crowned with financial
success, but, what is more gratifying, he has the
full confidence of the people. The public has
always recognized DR.. SHORES as a friend
| of the sick, and has ever found him truthful in
all his announcements.
When DIR. SHORES announced to the people
OF San francisco and vicinity that he would
treat sufferers from Catarrh and Chronic Dis
eases Tor $3 month until cured and furnish
medicines free, they knew he would do Just as
he promised, and none have been disappointed.
Each week DR.. SHORES publishes state
ments from patients who are willing to testify
TO the benefits derived from his treatment,
and to-day he presents that of Mr.. NJ. L. King
who resides at 1908 Seventh street. Oakland
Mr.. King is well-known ship-builder and
owner and has resided in California forty
seven years. Mr. King says:
"tOr twenty-five years | have suffered from

account OF the mucus dropping into my IhTOss

drop whiplash on the ground, and they
will just sort of slip over sideways and pick
it up while their horse is going at full
gallop. They play all sorts of games on
horseback, and, of course, some of them
have to be cruel-like the goose pulling,
which made me wish for the policeman
again.
They hang goose up in tree with it's

horseman to reach it. Then the riders

bank and leaned over it and called q mes :

Bobby lay upon his back to rest, careful

Cruel as fate they beat him back and
