metch between L. A. Grant, physi
cal director of the Heppner Ah-
letic club and r. W. Gordon, tha
travelling :prof, ssional, last Mon.
day evening.
Two fast preliminary wrestling
matches between local members al
the club helped the humor Of the
crowd for the main event.
Glen Jones and Albert Adkrrss
went to the mat for the first beat
and proved to be evenly matched.
After lot of hard tugging tie
match ended in a draw.
Earl Gillian aud Martin .Eoau-

they went at it good and stroag-
What they lacked in science, tbey-
made up for in earnestness. Yag
Johnson got the decision after a.
hard tussle.
For the main event, Grant xas
the first to enter the arena, takIag
his chair at the south corner of Ha,
big mat.
A little later he was followed dy
Gordon who sat at opposite side Of
the mat.
Dell Ward was selected as refereg
and Mayor Gillian acted as tiue
keeper.
Both men were stripped to afe
waist, Grant wearing black tights
and shoes, while Grdon's casscs
were red with white shoes.
Gordon appeared to be in BETTER
condition than Grant and 1oolas1
strong and muscular.
Grant who is the larger Eaan
looked little fat,
At the call of time there was not
much time lost in the social ssfsd-
shake, for both men went at it frr

As she stood there Lounsbury caught the clear outline of her firmly drawn face. Beside her Marylyn. slight and colorless, was for the moment eclipsed. The hat of the elder girl was brushed back, displaying Il forehead upon which shone the very spirit of the unshackled. Her hands. large. yet not too large for the splendid figure of which they were the instruments, were clasped upon her breast. Watch ing her. 1t seemed to Lounsbury that she must have sprung as she was from the plains one day-grave, full grown and gallant.
 Her fathers voice broke in harshly. "Ah didn' want she should plOw,' he protested. "Ah fSgered [ git some one on tick, but seems like Dallas she
 We like it here" she interrupted. ''becauSe the air is cool and there's lots of grass" Then. after bending to gather a purple flower. she stepped back to the blow.
 You're planning to stay. then" said Lounsbury.

 Lounsbury made no reply, only smil- ell genialIy.
 Maybe V reckon veal ain't safe?- continued Lancaster. ''Waal tn nest CTS roun' Fort sully's safe 'nough."
 The storekeeper pointed across the giver to where a flag was flying at the center of the post quadrangle. You're in sight of that he said simply,

 Dallas clucked to the mules.
 "Ain't you comin'?" called her father. "W'y. my gal, you worked 'nOugh this mOrnin'"
 I'll keep at it just a little longer" she answered.

but now-shc could not have credited
 her senses had it not been for a
 glimpse of Lounsbury's horse industri-
 ouSly cropping beside the lean-to.
 She looked across at the shack. squat
 ting on gentle rise at the center of
 the claim as if it had fled there for
 refuge out of the grassy sea whose
 dry waves lapped up to its very door.
 Its two small windows looking river
 ward. the narrow door of warped
 lumber between and the shock roof of
 meadow grass held down by stones gave it the appearance of a grotesque
 human head that was peering from out
 the plain. As Dallas for the first time
 noted the curious resemblance the shack seemed 10 smile back at her-.a wise, reassuring smile.
 A moment later the north wind hooded the sky with clouds, putting the bend in gloom. She got to her feet and hastened toward the blow. So brief had been her meeting with the stOrekeeper that immediately follow ing it his features had escaped her. Now she recalled them and thought that she recalled that when he had ac- costed her they had worn a mocking expression. What if her father in his sudden excitement and concern should tell LOunsbury that the claim was not yet filed upon; should cOnfide in this stranger. who might then take advan- tage of the ignorance, age and crlp- pied condition of the section boss! IIurriedly she unhitched Ben and Bet ty. hung their bridIes on the names and turned the team loose to graze. Then she started humeward with Si- mon close upon her heels. and as she crossed the cloud darkened claim she glanced again at the shack Its win dows were in shadow. it's door almost obscured. There was a smirk on its twisted face
 But when. entering the house. she met Lounsbury's kind. level look the llstrust she had felt uncOnsciously vanished.
 He was seated astride a bench to the left of tine fireplace. his hat flung down In front of him. his shoulders against the wall. his booted legs thrust out restfully acrosS the floor. Dallas. see ing him out of the saddle for the first time. was struck by his splendid length. next by his hcaviness-a round but muscular heaTiness that she had never noted in a Texan.

storekeeper's notice during his frontier life-roughly reared women of pure ways who toiled and bore with the pa tience of beasts, the women of the army, matching in dress and habits those he had known as boy, and last of all the kind that always follows In the track of soldier, scout and gam bier. Yet never before on the sun- down side of the Mississippi had he seen one who possessed along with the reserve a lonely bringing up enjoins the dignity and poise that are counted the fruits of civilization.
 Its good blood" he said to himself,
 'and"-with a glance at the section bOss-'it's from the mothers side"
 Lancaster at that moment was truly anything but picture of repose. His season of delight over the mornings news had been brief and was now sue ceeded by thorough disquiet. He hob bled to and fro from the hearth, where hung pail of fragrant coffee, to the farther front window. Lounsbury re- marked his evident worry and, not un- derstanding it, bent down inquiringly toward Marylyn.
 She was seated on a buffalo robe be- fore the fire zeapusly tending the cof- fee. As she felt the storekeeper's look upon her she glanced up, and. meeting his eyes. something other than the fire light swept her throat, neck and brow with crimson touch.
 There's no fretting in that quarter" was LOunsbury's mental comment. He turned on the bench to face Dallas.
 She was standing quietly beside the warped door. her arms hanging tensely at her side. her chin up. her eyes gag ing straight at him. and in them as we'll as in her whole attitude Louns- bury read determination and anxiety.

 Again there was silence. Then, with deep breath, Dallas straightened to speak It was borne to her of q sudden that they were fin need of one in whom they might confide. of one from whom goOd advice might come. She felt im- pelled tO tell this staIwart young man. whose eyes read kindness and whose face read right. who seemed to bear them nothing but good will. that they had not filed the claim. and then
