CHAPTER XIV.

"HE beef herd that had been the
pivotal point of the roundup
and had made the mighty plain
q echo to its stampings and bel
lowings, beating up simooms that
choked it with thirst, blinded 1t with
dust, confounding itself on every side
by the very fury of its blind force, had
trailed for week, tractable as toys In
the hands of children. Little had hap
pened to vary the monotony for the
cow punchers that handled the herd.
They grazed. guarded, watered, night
herded the cattle day after day, night
after night. Pasturage had been suffi-
cient if not abundant. The creeks were
running low and slimy with the ad-
vance Of summer, but there had been
sufficient water to let the herd drink its
fill at least once day.
The outfit ate its ''sow belly" soda
biscuit and coffee three times q day
and smoked its pipes, but was a little
shy on yarns round the campfire.
'This yere outfit don't lather none"
commented the cook to the horse wran-
gler over the smoke of an early MORN
ing fire.
Don't lather no more than a chunk
Of wood" agreed the horse wrangler.
That's the trouble with picked I'D
outfit like this. Catch W-s1uare men
kotowing to xxx boss, even if he
Is only acting foreman"
Simpson, the origin of whose connec-
ton with the xxx was rather a sensi-
tive subject with that outfit, had begun
to take his duties as a cattleman with
grim seriousness. He was unttrinp in
his labors, he spent long hours In the
saddle, he took his turn at night herd
ing, though he was old for this kind
Of work. He condemned the sheepmen
with foul mouthed denunciations. scofY
ed at their range rights, said the sheep
question should be dealt with in the
businesslike manner in which the In
dian question had been settled.
He was an advocate of violence-in
short, staggering. bombastic wind
bag. He talked much of his outfit"
and 'his men," What was good
enough for them was good enough for
him. he would announce Mt meal
time, In sniveling tone. when the
food happened to be particularly bad.
He split the temporary outfit, brought
together for the purpose of handling
the beef herd. into factions. He put
the xxx in worse repute than It al
ready enjoyed-he was, in fact, the
discordant spirit Of the expedition. The
men attended to their work sullenly.
Discord was rife. The one thought
they shared in common was that of the
wages that would come to them at the
end OF the drive; of the feverish Joy of
blowing in," in a single night; per-
chance OF forgetting in one long riotous
evening the monotony, the hardship,
the lack Of comradery that made this
particular drive one long to be remem-
bered In the mind of every man who
had taken part in 1t.
Meanwhile the herd tralled its half

earlier in the day. She traced them
back through the pine wood about
hundred rods and then the trail marks
grew confused This was unquestion-
ably the place where the horses had tax

in different directions. She traced the
other horse, whose tracks led under
low hanging boughs. 1t would have
been difficult matter for Il horse with
rider to clear. And now the impress
sion of the horses shoes grew fainter,
from the lighter footballs OF horse Mt
full Sallop.
"Ah" A cry broke from her as she
saw the marks had become almost
eliminated by something that had drag
ged. something heavy. Those long
drawn lines We're finger prints, where
a hand had dragged in its vain endeay-
or TO grasp at something. A sickening
image came persistently before her
eyes - Peters upturned face, blood
smeared and disfigured.
"Sh-sh- shr' She put her hand to her
breast to still the beating of her heart.
She could hear the sound OF hoofs fall
L.. muLled, on the soft ground ana
Il mans voice speaking in a soothing
singsong. She listened. 1t was Peters
voice, reassuring the horse, asking him
what kind of a bag of nerves he was
for a COW pony to get frightened at a
bear? Judith stood tall and straight
among the pines. Surely he could not
blindly pass her by. He must feel the
joy in her heart that all was well with
him. The hoofs came nearer; the mans
voice sounded but internationally as he
got his horse under better control She
felt as If he must come to her. us if
some overpowering consciousness of
her presence would speak from her
heart to his, but his eyes scanned the
distant trail for a glimpse of Kitty or
Kitty's horse.
Judith saw that his head was bound
in something white and that it bore
a red stain, but he held himself well
in the saddle. He was not the man
to heed a tumble He urged the horse
forward, never looking toward the tree
trunks, his face white and strained
with anxiety as he secured the trail
for evidences of Kitty. The horse.

of pines where Judith stood. but
Peters glance was for the open trail.
and as she heard him canter by, so
close that she could have touched his
stirrup with her hand, it seemed as if
he must hear the beating Of her heart.
"Oh, blind eyes, and ears that will
not hear, and heart that has forgotten
how to beat! Yes, go to that pale.
cold girl! You speak one language,
and life for you is the way of little
things!'
She waited till the last sound of the
horses hoofs had died away and all
was still in the tremulous green Of
the forest. Judith's mind was busy
with the image Of their meeting, the
man bringing the joy Of his youth to
the calm divinity who could feel no
thrill of fear in his absence. She
broke into the running gait and hur-
ried through the forest to the Daxes'.

Almost Reached Agreement

Germany Accepts France and

Berlin, March Private conversa-
tons with the German and French en-
voys at Algeciras have brought them al
most to an agreement on the Moroccan
police controversy, so near, indeed, that
the foreign Office regards the satisfac-
tory issue of the conference as assured.

France and Spain as having officers best

France accepts tine international control

1t is the specific form of this giaran-

will be created, consisting of a single
officer of repute from a power other than

CIR RONNA INTRODUCES BILL
TO PROTECT DEPO POSlTORS

Washington, March 7.Congress-
man Gronna has introduced a bill to
protect the depositors in national and
state banks reported to the comptroller
of the currency from individual loss.
The bill provides that by virtue OF the
banking laws, United States national
banks shall pay to the comptroller |
per cent Of the capital stock and sur
plus for the purpose Of creating fund
in trust of the comptroller to be used
TO protect the individual depositor from
loss OF his deposit in event Of the
banks failure. It Isl GFonna's
idea that such a bill would tend to re-
store confidence and put money in
banks which is. now in safety deposit
vaults, secret money chests and stock
ssngs. ard would have a tendency to, in.
crease circulation.

Able to Fix Rates Accor-
dance with Laws.

Washington, March The senate
began its session today with the pros
pcet Of hearing two speeches on the
railroad rate question, one BY Sena-
tor Clapp in support Of the measure
and the other by Senator Scott, adyo-
eating radical amendments. Both sem
ators were early in their seats and pre-
pared to proceed as soon as the dis
position Of routine business would
permit.
Senator Clapp spoke in general sup
port of the rate bill as. reported from
the committee on interstate commerce.
1T is not claimed that the law is
perfect Senator Clapp concluded Sit
would Be idle to claim perfection for
any piece Of legislation dealing with
these great issues. The bill aims in
the interest Of all, carrier and shipper,
to provide certain means Of arriving at
reasonable rate and securing its en-
forceinent with all the prompttless con-
sistent with the interests Of all ufl-
der those principle Of American law

Senator SCOTS argument was ii-
rected mainly against the principle OF
government ownership of. f.railroads in
which he included the control of rates
by the government He admitted that
there are evils connected with the rail-
road system Of the country but said he
would not vote for the pending railroad
rate bill without provision for an ann
pie court of review On the general
subject OF permitting The government
to fix rates he said.
From an intimate relationship with
I railroads as shipper for nearly thirty
years, j have given this subject my cone

forced to the conclusion from every
standpoint that the roads are better
