Beany Hendrix
OF the Big Y.
By CLARISSA MACkIE.
1908, by c. H. sutclife.


1t was while he was riding down
Little Bear trail that Beany Hendrix
saw her. She was riding up the trail.
and they met at the narrowest point,
where the steep walls of the canyon
shut out the sunlight, leaving gloomy
tunnel through which there was bare.
~ room for two riders to pass. Hen.
dirk backed his cayuse against the
rocky wall and tried to shrink his
huge form into smaller compass.
She. Edith Van Tine, looked at him
from the level of grave, gray eyes
questioningly. She bowed politely and
then smiled. All women smiled when
they met Hendricks genial gaze. They
smiled in approval of the warm kind
Illness of his good looking face, at the
strength of his great body and at the
good heart shining through his honest
brown eyes
Miss Van Tines smile faded, how
ever, as she saw the narrow trail that
became almost footpath as it wound
up the canyon, and her cheek paled.
In spite of this formidable outlook she
urged her horse forward, bravely de-
termined not to reveal her cowardice
to this big cow puncher, who sat, hat
In hand, waiting for her to pass.
You're not afraid, are you, ma'am"
he drawled as she hesitated.
"Not in the least, thank you." she re-
piled crisply.
II was about to say" he continued
soberly, that If you're a stranger in
these parts this is nasty bit of coun-
try for lady to get about in alone"
THANK you" she repeated, still
more coldly. "but Twas only resting
my horse"
Hendrix looked curiously solemn; in
deed, his features assumed a rigid ex-
preston. One who knew might have
said that Hendrix was suppressing
smile. He threw one leg over the
pommel Of his saddle, thus permitting
his cayuse to hug the wall more close
ly, and looked amiably upon the pref
ty stranger. Pretty girls were rare In
the Bear creek district.
She flushed under his frank, admir-
ing gaze and dug her spurred heel into
her horses flank with angry impa-
thence. The animal bounded forward,
striking fire with his scattered hoofs
There was faint cry from the girl

as she dashed away, and instantly Hen
dirk turned his mount and followed
her.
1t was impossible for him to pass her
on the narrow trail without infiicting
serious injury to either one of them,
but somehow he managed to extend
his length along his horse and grasp
the bride rein of her terrified animal.
"Now," he said kindly, 'just you let
me follow you up till YOU get out of
this hole. AS | said before, this is
nasty bit Of country for lady to get
about in"
"And as l said before" she began
tartly, with eyes fixed toward the
mouth of the canyon. Pm not afraid"
I'VE won't quarrel about 1.at,
ma am" returned Hendrix Calmly.
There isn't room for two to quarrel
here"
Edith smiled family. Beany Hen
dirk, riding at her horce's flank, could
see the dimple in her cheek and the
curl of her lip, and troubled look
came INTO his eyes, and a deep wrinkle
found place between his brows.
AS they passed out of the canyon and
into the open she turned toward him.
The smile had fed from her face, and
there was cold. hard look in the gray
eyes.
"Thank you, sir, for your kindness
I believe shall get along famously
now"
Hendrix removed his hat and passed
a bronzed hand through his shock Of
sunburnt hair. IF you will excuse
me, ma'am," he said, with his slow
drawl, "I'd like to say that you better
ride home by the long trail; it's easy
riding, and It's safer than the canyon"
But / don't know the long trail. l
have never been about here before"
she returned blankly.
81 should be pleased If you will let
me take you to the other trail oh, I'm
all right" he added hastily as she turn
ed a doubtful glance in his direction.
"Pm Beany Hendrix, from the Big Y
outfit"
"Beany Hendrix she repeated, sup
pressing a smile.
"You never heard Of me before, I
dare say, ma'am. I'm only cow

Loses to Harmony and Cresco.

Last Wednesday at Harmony the
Decorah ball team went down to de-
feat by a score of ten to four. But
it was pretty hard for DEBORAH to play

not surprising to them. Harmony
never scored until the 9th inning.

innings.
The next day at Cresco one of the
best games of the season was played
Oresco winning 4 to 2. 1t was hard
luck game for DEBORAH as Crescos first

secured by a mere accident. With
two men out Dougherty hit an easy
one to Bailey at first and when the
ball was within couple of feet of
him, it hit a stick or something in
the ground and bounded ten feet over
his head. Forsythe and Sanders came

scores. and in the next inning two
more were made by Cresco. DEBORAH
secured her two scores in the 8th.

What a Telephone Girl Can Do.

New Orleans States: A great
power for good lies in the hands
of the telephone girl. A little
human interest, a close attention
to what is passing around her,
and she will find a host of oppor
tunities for practicing the Gold
en- Rule.
In an adjoining town a few
days ago a lady who was lucky
enough to possess a telephone,
was seized with sudden and
deadly illness. She managed to
reach the phone and send out her
signal of distress when she fell
prostrate across the table. The
ouickwltted telephone girl who
had answered the ring, heard
the groans of pain and without a
moments delay summoned a
physician, gave him the number
of the sick woman's residence
and then sent an emergency
call to the sanitarinm.
f Immediate response was the
result. and receiving the atten-
!? ton of both physicians and nurs-
es at the opportnne moment, a
valuable life was preserved to
;. both family and friends
Imagine the gratitude OF the
lonely sufferer when she realized
the incalculable debt she owed
to that resourceful and kind
it hearted young woman. Such
IS rood sense and such Christian
d kindness makes a rare comoina
to ton and contains a lesson tina
at should be appreciated and re
Of membered. Close attention t.
a. calls, cheerful service and a littl
ne forethought can easily rende
ne the telephone girl a publ

What The Press Does.

It is perfectly all right ana
proper for a city to have COM
mercial clubs and boards OF trade
and all such adiuncts tending to
the growth and welfare OF a city,
but the fact should not be lost
sight Of for a mement that the
live. wide awake, well patronlzed
newspapers of the land have
done more toward city building
than all other elements combln-
ed. In speaking on this SUBJECT
the Lake Charles Press has this
to say in reference to the Beau
mont Enterprise:
"The Enterprise has done
more to bring Beaumont to the
front and keep it there than all
the commercial clubs and other
such organizations combined.
Of course, the average news
paper is not run ostensloly fo y
the good of the city in which
is published alone, but neverthe
