and, these people being fortunately
''out," she would go home and forget
her thoughts. for somehow Roland Hu-
mason had been much in her mind late
ly. Strange that after three years OF
absence the recollection OF his clear
dark eyes and clean cut features should
linger thus vividly. And again Miss
Mallory sighed.
Why had he gone so suddenly and
sent no word? Looking up to give the
order for home, the girl suddenly be-
came aware of a woman standing but
a few feet away with gaze hungrily
fixed upon herself. As their eyes met
the woman came slowly forward.

always been cautioned not to give in
the street. "IndiscriminGte giving is
the ruin of many" was her fathers
dictum. Yet in this case there was a
curious. half wild look in the wonan's
eyes, as though she were enduring
some strain almost beyond her strength
and Miss Mallory felt her sympdthies
quicken. Roland Humason would give
his money. lie never refused to help
a woman even while he laughed at
himself for a credulous simpleton.
Swayed by an uncomprehended i'm
pulse, the girl pulled out a crisp five
dollar bill

tired face opposite leaped a light Of
wonder, almost fear; then the tense
lines relaxed

And how much of that impure food

how much? You do all the marketing,

How can |? We want oatmeal, and

Enforce the Game Laws.

We believe, as every good citizen
in the county believes, that the game
laws of the state should be enforced,
and moreover, that every violator
be punished. And when we say
"every viOlator," we mean every man
be he whine, red or black.
Why should the red man be allowed
to violate the laws OF the state and
the white man be punished for the
same violation? Every fall during
October and November scores OF In
dians with hundreds OF ponies come
up into the winter range of the deer
and kill their winters meat. Why is
this permitted? 1t would be an easy
matter to stop this annual raid and
save thousands Of deer from destruc-
tion.
Every fall the state game commits
sioner promises these noble animals
protection and every fall he sends his
wardens to hold back or drive out the
Indians, but alas, he is always too
late. He sends protection after the
lion has visited the flock and gone.
Now, Mr.. Commissioner, why not
stop the Utes instead of driving them
back? This would save the game,
save trouble and expense. Have your
wardens keep them out Of Colorado
they have no business here.
