another of her species. Half dozen more
of the genuine, swell-front, high-stoop
iron girder, brick-inish variety stood
about and held stakes on the issue.
Jane was so completely engrossed in
her gentle pastme that she did not hear
our approach; the recipient of her favors
was so completely engrossed that she did
not care whether we approached or mott
the remainder of the company was so
completely engrossed as to mistake us for
others of the same species. Thus only
can 1 account for the fact that Jane re-
ceived no warning of Brandts intentions
He swooped up on her and caught her
by the tail-and then Black Bess-good
little COW poney that she was-pulled off
and sat ON her launches.
Jane came away from the dear COW she
was treating to the glad horn.
James tail very nearly came away from
her.
But Jane took her tail to the wide spaces
when Brandt got through with it.
The wreath of victory-that is, the sage
brush wreath, there was nothing else to
make wreath of-remained for Brandt
We left Jane miles behind us when We
calnped at the reservoir, and In less than
no time l forgot all about her. Fish. sage
chickens, ducks, coyotes, wolves, antelope
-who'ed remember cow-even crazy
cow-with all that game about? So we
fished and were happy: and shot ducks
and were happier; and hunted wolves and
were happiest; and ran antelope, and
were so happy that we didn't say any
thing about 1t, but went to bed, after
eating all we could stuff, shut our eyes,
and discovered 1t was morning. Naturally
I forgot Crazy Jane. Brandt says now
that he remembered her all the time.
We had been a week at the reservoir.
1t was dawn of one of those nights when
you wink once and find the sun shining,
and l awoke suddenly--as though 1 had
ben shot out of sleep. Brandt and l flung
out of bed at the same moment and
dashed into the open.
'You-who!" beloved at u.s.
l shall never forget that sight as long
as l live. Half surrounding the tent
a long line of cattle-200 at least-were
rolling on us, Crazy Jane in the lead. 1t
was like a hostile army. How the early
settlers must have felt when they awoke
TO nnd their cabins surrounded by In
dams,
You--who-who-WH beloved Jane
at the head of her army
-who-who-WH repeated the
army.
'.Whoo-hee! whoo-heer yelled Brandt.
jumping and swing his arms.
But Jane had seen that trick before.
She gave her kittenish, playful frsk, and
fun us a bright "You-who?' and
came on.
The same thought flashed through
Brandt and me at the same instant. To
get the RIFLES from the tent-to run the
distance from where we stood and back
again-meant to risk death in the tent,
or be tangled in it, even if Crazy Jane and
her band, did not gore it--and us Ito
tatters. Strange to relate, the thing we
might have done-jump into the reser-
voir and swim for it-did not occur to us
till the day after.
'You--who?' Jane beloved; and you
-who?" she shrieked in derision as she
jumped forward.
'Whoo- hee-whoo- yelled Brandt.
popping off the ground and tapping like
windmill.
Jane paused long enough to toss her
horns through a circle of some yards by
way of imitation, and pranced on.
Thousands of thoughts crowded my
