traveller headed west; for IL was not

chafed raspingly against the cowhide

Occasionally, at a stumble of the
heat, the man would jerk him up and,
for Il moment, would be somewhat
shaken from the thoughts which set
the broad upper lip in lines of tension.
The dust, fine-powdered and alkali
white, rose and settled into the very
weave of the clothes.
The sun passed overhead and began

With stiffness of step reminiscent
of the saddle, the man went back to
the pack animal and unfastened two
MORALS. Into each of these feeding
bags he poured measure of corn and
then slipped them over the painting
noses. The beasts crunched away at
the grains instinctively, but with little
of the zest of appetized enjoyment.
He loosened the cinch girt and drew
off the heavy saddle tree, flung it be-
side the horse and removed the damp
blanket beneath which the hair lay
wet and plastered, with the edges

examined where the saddle had

Packman. "But-but it's only a little
