Franklin, laughing.
Look out fer me---I'm commit"
cried Curly.
They met more fairly this time, and
Franklin found that he had an antag-
onist of little skill In the game of
wrestling, but of surprising wiry,
bodily strength. Time and again the
cowboy writhed away from the hold.
and came back again with the light of
battle in his eye. 1t was only after
several moments that he succurl bed,
this time to the insidious grapevine"
He fell so sharply that Franklin had
difficulty in breaking free in order not
to fall upon him. The cowboy lay
prone for moment. then got up and
busted off his hat.

the bride back over the horses neck
without other word. "You done 1t

Franklin, "and he's rider, too"

"He has horse, them"

Franklin looked twice to see II there
was affectation in this calm statement,
but was forced, with certain horror,
to believe that his new acquaintance
spoke of this as matter of fact, and
as nothing startling He had made no

cowboy. who pointed out ahead.

there's Batty himself. Git up, quick:
git up, an ride in like q gentleman.
It's bad luck to walk"
Franklin laughed, and, taking the
reins, swung himself into the saddle
with the ease of the cavalry mount,
though with the old-fashioned grasp at
the cantle, with the ends of the reins
in his right hand.

Are you 'fraid the saddles goin' to
git away from you? Better be 'fraid

he slapped the horse on the hip
with his hat, and gave the latter a
whirl in the air with shrill
"Whoooop-eee!" which was all that re-
NAMED needful to set tho horse off on
q series of wild. stiff-legged plpnges--
the "bucking" Of which Franklin had
heard SO much: maneuver peculiar
to the half.wild Western horses, and
one which is at the first experience a
desperately difficult one for even
skilful horseman to overcome. II per-
haps did not occur to Curly that ho
was infiicting any hardship upon the
newcomer. and perhaps he did not
really anticipate what followed on the
part either OF the horse or its rider.
Had Franklin not been a good rider.
and accustomed to keeping his head
while sitting half-broken mounts. he
must have suffered almost instantane-
GUS defeat in this sudden encounter.
The horse threw his head down far be-
tween his fore iegs at the start, and
then went angling and :igzagginS
away over the hard ground in wild
career of humpbacked antics, which

bones. The air became scintillant and
LUMINOSITY red. HIS head seemed
filed with loose liquid. his spine
turned into column Of mere gela-
tine. The thudding of the hoofs was
so rapid and so furnishing to his
senses that for a moment he did not

fashion, until finally he was fairly
forced to relax the muscular strain.
and So by accident fell into the secret

Go it, go it-whooop-e-e-e" cried
Curly, somewhere out in a dark world.

CHAPTER VII.
The New World.

Inc new world.
Franklin crossed the Missouri river,
that dividing stream known to a gem
Grafton OF Western men simply as ''the
River" and acknowledged as the boun.
dairy between the old and the new, the
known and untried. When he de-
scended from the rude train he needed
no one to tell him he had come to
Ellisyille. He was at the limit, the
edge, the boundary! "well, friend"
said the fireman. who was oiling the
engine as he passed, and who grinned
aEiably as he spoke, you're sure at
the front now"
Franklin had not advised his friend
Battersleigh of his intended arrival,
but as he looked about him he saw
that he had little need for any guide.
Ellisville as an actual town did not
yet exist. A rude shanty or two and
a line Of tents indicated the course of
coming street. More than forty
COW ponies stood in the Cottage corral
or in the street near by. Altar there
swelled the sound of morning reyel-
ries.

Eurs az Trjmminps.

Furs as trimmings are charming.
The best skating frocks will show
trimmings of sable, mink and even
ermine; the latter especially Is very
costly. The cream and white cloths
and corduroy velvet now In vogue
are vastly improved by an edging OF
mink or sable, though martin-tail Is
good substitute. 1t Is In skating
frocks that we shall see the most
perfect specimens of the short skirt;
1t is at it's best cut with a, somewhat
full frill round the feet, which assists
IN giving that graceful swing that
makes skating such pretty pastime.

After breakfast Franklin paused for
moment at the hotel Office. almost as
large and empty as the dining room.
Different men now and then came and
passed him by, each seeming to have
some business of his own. The clerk
at the hotel asked him If he wanted
TO locate some land. Still another
stranger, a fio-id and loosely clad
young man with mild blue eye. ap-
preached him and held some converse.
Mornin', friend" said the young
man.
Good morning." said Franklin.
II allow you're just in on the front, !"
said the other.

to go down there, come over and I'll

Franklin replied that he would be
glad to do so In case he had the need,
and was about to turn away. He was
interrupted by the other, who stopped
him with an explosive "Say!" .
"Yes," said Franklin.
'Did you notice that. girl in the din
ing room, pony-built like. slick, black
haired, dark eyes-sears glasses? Say
that's the smoothest girl west of the
river. She's waitin'. in the hotel here.

with the swiftness of acquaintance

his own tactfulness and made polite
assurance of aid should II become pos
sible.
"Pd be mighty Obliged" said his
new-found friend Seems like I lose
my nerve every time I try to say a
word to that girl. Do you want a
team?"
Thank you" said Franklin, 'but
hardly think so. l went to find my
friend Colonel Battersleigh, and un-

country, in which he felt the proprie-
