another path to the lodge. Is he the
thief, as they suspect, and can the pa
pers be upon him?"
He rose as the latter thought crossed
his brain, and, with curious skill. ex-
amined thoroughly the clothing OF the
man who slumbered in his drunken
stupor.
"I've let a good job escape me to-
night, I fear" he murmured to himself.

readjustment of the cattle business on a
new and firmer basis. For years. in fact,
ever since the first bunch of cattle, aban-
doned to their fate in a Colorado blizzard,
were found to have survived the winter,
the raising of cattle on the Western
plains has been an occupation in which
chance has played a prominent part. The
idea Of providing feed to carry the herds
through winter storms was never seri-
ously considered. If a protracted blizzard
came on and killed off 10000 head of stock
the ranchmen bore the blow with equa-
nimity, regarding it as a dispensation of
Providence against which it was impossi-
Bile to provide protection. If an extend
ed drought dried up the water holes and
parched the plains and left the whitening
bones of thousands of beeves as the ter
rible record of death from thirst, he
charged it to his profit and loss account
and relied on better luck in other seasons
to make the balance on the right side
One season in every three was regularly
counted on as a bad one, but the practi-
cally unlimited free range, and the high
prices of beef made the profits of favor
able years enormous. These were the
days of the cattle barons," who never
knew within a good many thousands how
many heads of stock they actually owned.

the position and estate of the cowboy him
self. The substitution of barbed-wire
fences and winter feed-lots for the open
range circumscribe nightly the activities
Of the free riders of the plains Since
the cattle cap not stray beyond the
boundary of the fenced-in range, there
will be small danger of stampedes; the
necessity for cutting out cattle from
herds to which they do not belong; for
lassooing strays to inspect their brands
and indeed the need of branding itself VIII
all be done away with. From being wild
untrammeled lord of the plains, bron-
cho-busting, gun-wielding, man-eating
paragon, the cowboy is rapidly descend
ing to the commonplace position of feed
er of cattle, and will soon enjoy status
not unlike the hired man" of the eastern
states. he is losing in picturesdueness'
although he is more than likely to gain
in usefulness to himself and to the COM
munity at large.
Already the old order is almost obso-
lete. The Remington cowboy is fast pass

person to live with than he was of yore.
The desperate has been eliminated while
the man has remained.
There is no doubt that in the old days
the typical cowboy was worthy of all
that has been written of him. Twenty
years ago he owned and ruled the empire
of the plains from the Texas Panhandle
to the Bad Lands of Montana. He lived
out of doors and out of sight of human
habitation for eleven-twelfths of the
year. All of his waking and some of his
sleeping hours We're spent in the sad
die. His only companions were the herds
he tended aud his fellow cow-punchers.
He was q law unto himself because no
other law vas there. He spent his money
on silver-mounted saddles. gorgeous head
gear and at rare intervals on villainous
liquor and fixed" faro layouts because
these were his only necessities and his
only possible luxuries.
1t is not surprising under these cir
cumstances that the strongest possible
tribal feeling was developed in the cat
tlemen. 1t Is not surprising that they
wore their guns in convenient positions
and became accustomed to hanging cat
tie "rustlers" as matter of course
Jails were not numerous in the old days
in the plains country and the six-shoot-
er was the only policeman. 1t is not
surprising either that on their infrequent
visits to those frontier settlements which
were entitled to a place on the map by
virtue of the possession of numerous sa-
looms and a graveyard apiece they yield
