geant Britt at the outset. When he
sent liberal supply Of fiery whisky:
out to the soldiers, it was promptly re-
turned to him untasted, and when he
sought to be companionable with the
sergeant and invited him to sample
something choice he was turned down
without delay. It. was, clear to Britt
that the plan was to get the escort be-.
fuddled. What. was to happen after
that he could not guess, but he. deter
mined not to sleep until the game was
finished. ,s.ss.t. Nj b.
For the first hour the play was light,
and no one was more than few dol
lars winner or loser. Then the ante
was raised, and the sergeant was not
surprised at the change which took
place in the major. The greed of the
born gambler shone In his eyes,. He.
eyinced Impotence at the slightest de-
lay, and he turned more often to the
glass at his elbow. s n. {. ss
For time he won, and the others
could not break his luck. Then the
sergeant saw that they had made a
comD1nat10n against him. He caught
neither look nor sign, but something
told him that they were batting their
trap. They were cautious, crafty men,
and they played the major for an hour
before he had reached his last dollar.
The sergeant looked to see him quit
then, but with uttered curse he put
up his watch, pin apd ring and held his
own fof half an hour longer. When he
had nothing more to put up, he showed
back from the table and lighted q Gig
arctic. and for two or three minutes
there was silence In the room
Then. in quiet but sarcastic voice
every word meant to sting. Howard
suggested that the major had played
with poor Judgment and with an en-
tire lack OF nerve 1t was limited that
his former winnings were only acci-
dental and that he had never really
been entitled to sit IN q game with men
of renoWn. Other stings were inflicted

whispering Id their ears:

e was q triangular trip Major Whit
comb had to make once in two months
when he started out to pay of the men
at the three forts, and It included some
OF the toughest trails in Arizona. Six
mounted men always acted as escort,
while the paymaster, his clerk and the
safe rode in an ambulance. New and
then the Indians were bad OF the out
laws had the nerve to make an am
bush, but the greatest peril that ever
Threatened the major and his green
backs came from an entirely different
source and one suspected BY no man

the majors body servant
was on a bright morning in the
month Of May that the paymaster
started out on one OF his trips. The es-
cort was under command OF Sergeant
Britt and everybody knew the SER
geant to be a square man. The first
nights camp was made at Buzzard's
springs, thet usual place, but the second
was no camp at all. At4 o'clock IN the
afternoon the outfit reached Spanish
Pete's hostelry. on the Cimarron trail,
where 1t was only intended to halt Tor
few minutes and then push on for
five miles. Pete's place was a hotel on
the stage route, but was likewise the
rendezvous of q bad lot Of men. The
/ first man to appear as the escort clat-
tered up was Pete, but close on his
heels was Tom Howard, q noted gam
bier. Howard explained that he had
been down to Anita to raise some cash.
and was on his way back with $1,000.
he had a couple OF friends with him,
both OF whom were members of the
fraternity, and when they dared the
major to halt for the night and have
little game he did not hesitate more
than q minute. a little longer ride next
day would make up the lost distance.
The men of the escort heard nothing
OF the conversat ton, but suspected the
majors reason for tarrying. They
joked over itall but Sergeant Britt.
-Four soldiers lifted the safe from the
wagon and carried it into the majors
room, and the escort pitched their tents
only few rods from the east wall Of
the inn. The majors clerk, a young
soldier detailed from one OF the COM
panies, was quartered In the house.
Soon after supper he brought certain.
orders out to the escort, and Sergeant
Britt noticed that he was the worse for
drink. Half an hour laterFhe was sound
asleep In his room. AZ al. n

his two friends and Major Whitcomb
sat down In room off the barroom.

Rrain-Roon Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis.
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind Of food Is needed for brain,
another for muscles, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but 1t will sustain
every other part. Yet, however
good your food may be. Its uutri-
nent Is DESTROYED by indigestion or
dyspepsia. You must prepare fo1

Our village Is blessed with health,
wealth and industry. Our citizens
are Industrious and law abiding
people always looking for the future
to bring something better. The
oil development Is rather quiet, but
Braden Station pumps about $4,000
barrels daily eastward.

White heir farm recently.
The Philadelphia Gas company
is drilling at depth of 1900 feet
on James Thompsons farm. Other
locations are expected In this VI
cinlty soon.
Farmers are engaged In harvest
Ing wheat and clover, but the In
clemency of the weather Is against
them. The clover crop Is fine,
wheat crop rather light, pasture In
abundance, and stock Is scarce.
Tbs timber business has ex-
hausted, the oil development has
become very quiet, and the farmers
have reaped a harvest of money
from the oil interest of their farms,
now they should take pride In I'M
proving their farms while the gol-
den opportunity embraces them.
Mrs. Hattie Allen and Mrs. M.
V. Powell are on a two weeks visit

lillian monkey. So 1t was a dog

were you? Were you coon dog or
Just dog without the coon. Your

lonely melancholy half starved

FIVE or six weeks upon a
small diet of base ball and kissem-

inch casing to ascertain whether or
not 1t Is follow or just has hole In

rather small trying to palm yourself
off for Brother Jones praying for
Swift and Armour to send you
some meat which Is just as likely a
thing 10 be done as 1t was for a
horse to swim the Ohio river to get
a drink. And using language that
would make a plantation darkey
shrink away and hide In cotton
patch. You say Little Is the most
popular town on earth. You haven't
been far away from home, have you
Brother Little? The name signifies
something small, next door neigh.
Dor to nothing. 1t reminds US of
the city of Peth where three men
lived and two of them starved to
death. And you, the third man,

place had the supply of grounding
and sassafras tea run out as 1t
should, to join your comrades,
whence no Little man returns.
