JENNY AND THE WOLVES-By Carter Hamilton

if you wait long enough, and the Sunset Limited dropped me in the early early dawn at little station west of Laramie and there stood Brandt beaming welcome He had pitched our tent on the outskirts of the two-saloon six-house town and re- galed me with the news as he carried my suitcase and guns thither.
 And what became of Jinny?" I asked
 "Jinny?-oh, she's all right. We got a new member to our party can manage Jimmy to @ turn. Yes, sir. Wouldn't part with Jimmy now-
 Some other chap going with usl' I ex- claimed dlsmally. Why, man, what's that for7 You've forgotten Chatfieldr
 Forgotten Chatfieldi-Mistah Chatfieldl Well, I swamp And Brandt let off one of his guffaws.
 Chatfield was an English sportsman we took with us one summer out of sheer pity for his lonely and unprotected taste He showed his British appreciation of a friend and brother out in camp by using Brandts horses as his own and telling him, 1T expert you to call me Mistah Chatfield.' The rest of him went with that. No, this Is not .another story Chatfield was our guest. But I will say for our credit that we stuck by him for two weeks as we had promised gave him the time of his life, let him do all the shooting and keep the trophies. Wher we put him in the Pullman at Monida and saw him safely off for home and mamma (which he nevah should have lefD Brandt and I registered a great, stern vow-A VOW. You see now how I felt at the prospect of a third man on this trip. ] was stamping savagely toward the tent
 You wait till you see him-hes young,'' Brandt soothed me. And besides he's saved us a new mule-Jinny's a perfect angel with him."
 Rather buy two mules."
 Want to turn in?" Brandt united the tent flaps. "Pll clear out an let you sleep all day"
 Waste day in sleepingi" I cried "Avaunt, wretchi Saddle me valiant steed and let's awayi'
 Dawn was breaking over the plains, tip ping the snow caps of Medicine Bow mountains with old rose and bringing their bases into dusky purple relief. The flap of the tent canvas in the swift early breeze was music to my ears. Sleepl- who would sleep with the large air of the plains feeding his city-cramped lungs and his horse tethered near in the dawn twilight?
 Lets be off. Muldoon-where' my Bonnie? Will she know me again?" I saw her, then picketed out on the plain, gave my call, 'Muldooni Muldoon! Come soon come soonl" She heard me-answered with a whinny. She knew me-of course she did
 'Mu1doonl Mu1doonl" I hurried to her and as I reached her I saw a little white nose. two twinkling eyes, two perky ears, examining me over her back.
 What's this? Why, she's got coltl''
 ''Sure!' answered Brandt enthusiastical- ly. Finest little fellow in the state." He reached a finger and gently tickled the white nose. 1.-TWO months old-I told you he was young-that's 'him'-young and smart-wait till you see him manage Jinny-he's boss here!'
 tickled the nose, too. Well, you're Cap tain links of the Horse marines," and Captain links he was from then on. "Mul- doom, you're a lady, you're a darling. you're a prize''
 Muldoon kissed me over with her soft lips. "Got any carrots-a little lump of sugar for me?''
 '"Oh, Muldoon, forgot 'Scuse me this once. I've been travelling two days an three whole nights. Couldn't carry em- deed I couldn't. Get you a peck first store we come to-"
 scrap of sugar in your vest pocket? We'll, it's nice to have you, anyway"
 That was our talk. Then I turned to Brandt: What about riding herr"
 We won't work for her hard across the plains. Got another horse for you at Toltec. She'll do till then easy goin.' But ain't links beauty? Four years from now you'll be ridin' him--break him yourself"
 At this point Jimmy. picketed in the
