But ne Id on, and old Joker sped on and
on ana on with great, mad leaps and the
sounds of pursuit grew fainter and fainter
and then ceased altogether.
Ihe gray was coming in the east when
Joker and Sam galloped up to the Yellow
pird Ranch, and were met by the men who
had waited for hours for Captain Jake's re-
turn The old mule stopped, utterly exhausted.
and little Sam lurched in the saddle as the
men ran out at the sound of their coming and

And SO the money reached the Yellowbird

word that the steers were Captain lakes.
that little Sam was very weak from a bullet
IN the shoulder and the loss of blood, but that
Doctor Tallman, from the x Y 2 Ranch, pro-
nounced him in little if any danger, and
that old Joker had been shot in the rump
IN way that set him almost wild at The
time, but now seemed to make him meek and
humble.
The cowboy found only a. doctor and Can
tain Jake at Bannock's. The elder Sam had
returned shortly after little Sans departure
and had been told of the pistol shots that the
captain had heard, and had gone charging
down there, to find three groaning men by the

routed out, and not long after, old Sam was
tearing over the prairie in the direction that
little Sam had gone and the highwaymen
were in charge of severalsmen, and the doctor
and others were with Captain Jake

hauled off to Jail when their heads had been
bound up and their broken bones placed in
splints.
And when they got together, Captain Jake
and Mr. Bannock and little Sam, the ranch
man handed the boy, not fifteen dollars, but
five hundred dollars.
"You have well earned it, boy" he said.
"Sam," said the elder Bannock 'I'm proud
of you! You've showed me that you're as big
a man as anybody in the county"
'That's what he isl" ratified Captain Jake.
Old Joker seems to have had his spirit effec-

fed and cared for, and is really quite valu-

Ihe hours dragged on till nearly midnight,
the supper, slowly drying up from its long
warming, sizzled complainingly and little
sam head slowly nodding in spite of himself
as he dozed.
ihere came the sound of galloping hoof-
splashes In the muddy road, and; as they
were almost even with the house, there was
a sudden trip and slip, splashing fall, a
sharp, smothered cry, wild scramble, and
the horse sprang to his feet, and, with a loud
snort, turned and tore back along the way he
had come; and his master lay still in the mud
at the foot of the great sycamore tree, against
the trunk of which the falling of his horse
had slammed him. with broken leg and a

dollars profit that Captain Jake had felt So

The morning before, Shipley. from down

 of the fact that it marks the first city of the state to take such action. The other cities of the state are watching the action of the Gate City on this matter and will probably follow suit
 It is the desire of Councilman Ter rell to force the street car company of the city to give rate of eight tickets for twenty five cents, the rate at present being five cents each fare without reduction for the wholesale.
 It is the belief of many people in the state that the telepho one. gas and car rates are too high. and that there sh ould be some reduction. There has been a fight for some time in Atlanta to secure a reduction in the car rates for children. but even this has not been granted, the company claiming that it was not financially able to make the reduction in rates.

'QUIlLAN MAKES
RECORD

r. r. Atkinson. a painter arrest
ed a few days ago by Patrolman Nc
Quillan, has decided to waive ex-
tradition and return to Washburn,
n. d.. and face charge of shoot
ing woman there. A telegram was
received by McQuillan this morning
in which he was advised that re-
ward of $500 would be paid him for
the capture, whether Atkinson is
convicted or not, because Atkinson
is the man wanted. A photograph
was sent to the authorities of
Washburn. The deed for with At
kinson was arrested was COM
mitted while an attempt at burglary
was interrupted by the woman. The
burglar in making his escape had
to shoot her. She recovered and
identifies Atkinson's photograph.
Patrolman McQuillan, II he keeps
up his present gait. will be buying
a few brick blocks soon. During
the past four weeks McQuillan has
arrested four deserters, for which
the government has paid him 5000.
His recent arrest of Atkinson may
reward him with another $500.
which makes a total for one month
of $500.

WAR STRENGTH OF UNCLE
SAM AND THE JAPANESE

Now that the attention of Ameri-
can military men and naval experts
has been directed to the far east as
possible quarter from which to
expect hostilities, some curious
comparisons are found to exist be-
tween the Asiatic and American
fpowers. Some of them are very
striking.
One important difference is in the
cost of feeding the armies. The
American army and navy ration is
computed at 80 cents. That is, the
sailor or soldier is allowed 80 cents
in lieu of ration Zone days supply
TO food. If for some reason he does
not get the ration. At the present
price of provisions, this appears to
be pretty close figuring on a whole
sale basis. 1t would puzzle, one to
buy the same ration for 80 cents at
retail. The Jap ration, on the other
hand, is confined almost strictly to.
rice, dried fish and tea. All of these
are home products of Japan. The
Jap ration is estimated to cost
about cents in American money,
one-sixth of the cost of the Ameri-
can ration. 1t would cost the United
States enormously more to feed it's
army and navy than it would cost
Japan.
Another difference is In the
wages of the men. The American
regular, private, gets $l3 month.
The American bluejacket averages
about $40 to $24 month. The Japa-
nese fighting man gets but couple
of dollars.
The stragetical Importance of
Hawaii proves greater than that of
the Philippines. Hawaii is almost as
close to Japan as it is to the United
States, when the magnificent dis
tances Of the Pacific are taken into
consideration, and Is on the route
from Japan to the United States.
The Philippines, while occpying
position that could threaten Japan,
are so far from the United States
that they are almost as difficult to
reach as Japan itself.
Here are the Wost important
ports that would be liable to at
tack in case of war:
American - Seattle, Tacoma.
Olympia, Portland, San Francisco.
San Diego, Panama, Honolulu Ma
