A Poor Apple Crop Likely.

The outlook for good apple crop
IN this section is unfavorable, al
though the yield will vary consider
ably in different localities as the orch
ards on the hill farms were less at
fected by the late frosts than those
on the iowlands. The drouth and
cool weather in August have been ad-
verse factors and in some localities
too much dropping of apples is report,
ed. 1t is thought the recent rains will
prove beneficial and the condition OF
fruits will be improved by it but
even then it is probable that the ap-
ples will be small and poor.
In the orchards where special care
is given the trees the crop will prove
far from a failure but much less than
would have been the yield under ia

Here the rough crowd gathers to
dance, drink and gamble. But all re,
spect the Girl. The Stranger, a ROAD
agent. comes to the saloon to ROB IT.
He had met the Girl on the road to
Monterey and both had fallen IN love.
Their second meeting is at the saloon
and the spark fires into flame. she
invites him to her cabin, where they
have supper. The storm compels MN
to stay there for the night While ne
is hidden away behind the curtains OF
the bed, the sheriff s posse enters and
tells the Girl that the Stranger is the
road agent they are after. After the
posse is gone she orders the Stranger
out into the storm. He returns wound
ed by the sheriff, who follows. The
Stranger is hidden in a loft. His
blood betrays him. The sheriff plays
the Girl game of poker, the stake be-
ing whether she shall marry him or
shall have the life of the road agent.
The sheriff wins, but she draws hand
from her stocking and wins out.
These are some of the strong features
of The Girl of the Golden West.
