CHAPTER. TT

~ IMPSON, from the seat to which
~ he had been so rapidly trans
planted, looked about him with
49, blinking anxiety. 1t was more
than probable that the boys intended
ITO have fun with him. though his
talking, or, rather, trying to talk, to
girl that sat opposite him at an eat
ing house table was, according to his
ethics, plainly none of their business.
He knew he wasn't popular since he
had done for Jim Rodney's sheep,
though the crime had never been laid
at his door officially. He had his way
to make, the same as the next one,
and, all said and done, the cattlemen
were glad to get Jim Rodney's sheep
off the range, even if they treated him
as felOn flr the part he had played
in their determination.
Thus reasoned Simpson, while he
marked with an uneasy eye that the
temper Of the company had grown de-
cidedly pranlzish with the exit Of the
girl, who, after having caused all the
trouble, had, with an irritating quality
peculiar to her sex, vanished through
the kitchen door. -. ~ .
Some three or four Of the BOYS now
ran to Simpsons former seat at the
table and rushed toward him with his
half eaten breakfast, as if the errand
had been one of life and death. They
shoWered him with mock attentions,
waiting on him, with an exaggerated
Difference, and the pale, fat man, re-
membering tie hideousness Of some of
their manifestations of humor, breathed
hard and felt falling off of appetite.
Costigan, the cattleman, strapping
Irish giant, was clearing his throat
with ominous sounds that suggested
the tuning up of a bass fiddle.
"Sure, Simpson, me lad, if We happen
to have matther av $50, it's mesilf
that can tell We av an illegint invist-
mint" ...
Simpson looked up warily, but Cos
tigan's broad countenance did not har-
Dor the wrath of a smile. "What kin
git for fifty chips? faint much"
unused the pariah,. with the prompt in
clination to spend that stamps the COM
parative stranger to ready money.
aye can git a parrut, mana Crane

ye're attn ...->- -. .t
Simpson interrupted with an oath.
"Don't be hard on old Simmy Re-
member he's studied for the ministry!
How did savoy that Simpson aimed
to be a sharp on doctrine" A COW
puncher with a squint addressed the
table in general. II scents the aroma

pended action III anxiety to know how
the "yearling' would take it. Would
their chivalry, which strained at 4
gnat, be compelled to swallow such a
conspicuous camel as the success of
Simpson?
But Miss Carmichael merely cont,n-
ued her breakfast, ana if she heard the
amiable deductions of Simpson regard
ing her she gave no sign. But a re-
buff to him was in the nature OF an ap-
petizer, q fillip to press the acquaint-
ance. He enci'oached a bit farther on
the narrow limits of the table and CON
tinued, Nice weather we're having"
Miss Carmichael gave her undivided
attention to her coffee. The spurs and
sombreros, that had not relaxed a
muscle in their strained observation of
the little drama, breathed refectively.
"He shore is showing hisself to be a
| friendly native,' commented the man
who had sacrificed milk teeth investi-
eating the indestructible doll.
Seems to me that the system he's
playing lacks heap of science. MY
moneys on the yearling." And the
man who had discarded the steak and
drawn to the biscuits leaned a little
/ forward that he might better watch
developments. -. &- ,:
Simpson by this time fully realized
his error, but failure before all these
bantering youngsters was a contin-
gency not to be accepted lightly. AS
he phrased it to himself, it was worth
another throw "Seems kind O. lone
some not having any one to talk to
while you're eatin', don't it,"
Miss Carmichaeps air of perfect COM
posture seemed trifle out of tune with
her surroundings. The nice elevation
OF eyebrow, the slightly questioning
curl of the lip as she, for the first
time apparently, became aware of the
man opposite seemed to demand
prim drawing room rather than the at
mosphere of the slouching eating house.
"Well, really, I've hardly had
chance of finding OUT And her eyes
We're again Oh her coffee cup, and there

age than the angels. 90.
mo offense meant deprecated
Simpson, with an uneasy glance toward
the other end of the table, where the
men sat with necks craned forward in
an attitude uncomfortably suggestive
Of hounds straining at the leash. Simp-
son felt rather than saw that some
thing was afoot among the sombreros.
There was a crowding together in whis-
pered colloquy, and in flash some half
dozen of them were on their feet as
man. Descending upon Simpson, they
lifted him, chair and all, to the other
end Of the table, as far removed as
possible from Miss Carmichael.
The man who thought Simpsons sys-
tenn lacked science rubbed his hands
in delight. 'She took the trick all
right; swept his hand clean off the
board!''

On forsaken country. A good creature
all limp calico, Roman nose and sharp
elbows, she brought him his breakfast
with an Ill grace that she had not
shown to the others. The men about
the table gave him scant greeting, but
the absence of enthusiasm didn't en-
barrass Simpson.

Wolves Kill Deer.

Ranchers in that section of Ari- zona report that the wolves are killing large number, and that If they continue their work the num- Der will be greatly lessened. Un- fortunately the wolves are not amenable to the law, and kill deer out of season the same as hunters do in season. Phoenix Enterprise.

The Old. Old Story"

It is the old, old story. A grafter in fine automobile blew into town few months ago with a proposition which means more than S2 1000 clear to him. Most of the local merchants fell over themselves to get in on his scheme, which was to put up a cheap piano in a voting contest tor secret orders on purchases of goods of various kinds from the merchants. There were to be I 100000 tickets. It develops that the two leading organizations had about I,4oo, ,ooo and ugly charges of fraud, trickery, stuffed ballot boxes are floating around and much bitter feeling has been aroused. The grafter miles away IS roping in other towns. He does not care about any local trouble nor is he worrying about his cheap piano. There are others to be had.

The Bryan Gift.

Through Wm. J. Bryan, Mrs. Bryan has recently donated $500 to the University of Tucson, the fund to be used in the assistance of young girls of small r'eans who desire to get u' iveisity education.
 A draft of $500 was .,.cived several months ago by President Babcock at Tucson from MT. and Mrs. Bryan, but formal accept ance has been withheld as there was some doubt as to whether the gift could be legally accepted.
 The matter was referred to At torney General E. $. Clark, of Prescott, who has given as his opinion that the gift can be ac- cepted.
 This will be done and formal note of thanks will be rendered Mrs. Bryan by the university.
 The money is a portion of a fund of SIo,ooo which was left to Mrs. Bryan by the late Milo S. Bennett, of New Haven, Conn.,, to be distributed among the var ious colleges as Mrs. Bryan thought best. Phoenix Enter prise.

BARKING UP IHE WRONG TREE.

The esteemed Fairmont Times

new license laws, the farmers can
no longer exchange "messes" Of
beef In a neighborly way without
paying one hundred dollars into the
State treasury. When the leading
Democratic organ of the State
prints such rot as this is il any won

The above is a case Of mistaken

Times that made the above charge,
but Attorney George G. Baker, the
chief legal adviser for the tax re.
formers" Mr. Baker ought to be
good authority on "Gax reform"
questions. So far as the courts
have passed upon the questions
wherein he has given opinions on
the new laws they have sustained
him. So that when he stated in
his letter to the Tax Commissioner
that 'if the law is enforced the
country people could not butcher a
beef except for their own use and
the residue would have to spoil for
fear Of being prosecuted for the
want Of license" il ought to be
respected by the "tax reformers,"
at least as entitled 10 some consid-

appear that the criticism comes
from the opposition Times.
