CHAPTER VII.
The Preliminary,

Very early in the morning of the
day set for the preliminary hearing of
Jesse Black the young owner of the
Three Bars rode over to Velpen. He
identified and claimed the animal
held over from shipment by Jim's per-
suasion. Brown gave possession with
a rueful countenance.
First time Billy Brown ever was
taken in," he said. with great disgust.
Langford met with no interruption
to his journey, either going or coming,
although that good cow-puncher of his.
Jim Munson. had warned him to look
sharp to his pistols and mind the
bridge. Jim being of somewhat
belligerent turn of mind. his boss had
not taken the words with seriousness.
AS for the fracas at the pontOOn, COW
men are touchy when it comes to
question of precedence. and it might
well be that the infammable Jim had
brought the sudden storm down on his
head. Paul Langford rode through
the sweet early summer air without
let or hindrance and looking for none.
He was jubilant. Now was Willis
tons story verified. The county at
torney. Richard Gordon. had consid-
cred Williston's story, coupled with
his reputation for strict honesty,
strong and sufficient enough to bind
Jesse Black over to appear at the
next regular term of the circuit court
Under ordinary circumstances the
state really had an excellent chance
of binding over: but it had to deal
with Jesse Black, and Jesse Black
had flourished for many years west of
the river with an unsavory character
but with an almost awesome reputa-
tion for the phenomenal facility with
which he slipped out of the net in
which the lawn the person of its
unpopular exponent, Richard Gordon
was so indefatigably endeavOring to
enmesh him. The state was prepared
for hard fight. But nowhere was
the very steer Williston saw on the
island with its Three Bars brand un-
der Blacks surveillance. Williston
would identify 1t as the same. He,
Langford, would swear to his own ami.
nal. The defense would not know he
had regained possession and would
not have time to readjust its evidence.
1t would fall down and hurt itself for
the higher court, and Dick Gordon
would know how to use any inadver-
tences against it-when the time
came. No wonder Langford was light
hearted. In all his arrogant and un-
hampered career he had never before
received such an affront to his pride
and his sense of what was due to one
of the biggest outfits that ranged cat.
tie west of the river. Woe to him who
had dared tamper with the concerns
of Paul Langford of the Three Bars
Williston drove in from the Lazy
in ample time for the midday din
ner at the hotel-the hearing was set
for oclock-but his little party con.
tenta. itself with luncheon pre-.
pared at home and packed neatly and
appetizingly in tin bucket 1t was
not likely there would be repetition |
Of bad meat. 1t would be poor policy.
Still, one could not be sure. and it |
was most important that Wllliston ate
no bad meat that day.

The shipping quality of fruit deter
mines largely its value. One nf the
first things asked about any new
fruit is: "What are its shipping
qualities?" Many and many fine
new fruit has been brought to the
front and discarded on account OF be.
ing too soft to ship" Up to the
present time few fruits have been
able to keep popular attention through
their usefulness in the home garden
only, yet it would be wise to hold
onto them for this reason alone

QUIETUs ON BIG cANAL,

The parting jolt which Col. w. II.
R.xhy, chief of tho engineering corps
IN the department of the lakes gave
CEicago--the blunt declaration that
ChicaEo's s50,0000Q0 drainage canal is
doomed to prove a failure-was due to
tina amount or lake water which will
be needed as Chicago grows, and its
sanitary requirements increase. "The
draragc canal now requires 6 per cent
of the entire outflow OF the upper
lakes said Col. Bixby, on leaving for.
his Few post at st. Louis. Even now,
the, canal really needs as much more,
When the population of Chicago reach
e. b,e00,0 00--as 1t surely will do in the
not far distant future-the canal will
,.eed at least is or 20 per cent of the
outflow. The United States govern
mort would never permit this, 1t is
entirely out of the question:" Col. Blk
by characterized the Chicago method
of sewage disposal las a relic of the
dark ages" He made this prophecy:
"rhe future harbor of Chicago lies in
the lake between Chicago avenue on the
north, and Thirty-ninth street on the
south. The Chicago river Is, and ever
will l., but makeshift. The cSpcndi-
ture of millions of dollars in widening
tie river will never make the stream
adequate for harbor purposes. Chicago
Will have to spend its own money on
the river. The government will not do
1t for you. Uncle Sam Is not throwing
his money away in useless improves
