Yoked With
a Bull by His
Father-in-Law

When the scheme of marrying an
heiress first presented itself to Handy
Dodger 1t looked so simple and pleas
ing that he wondered he had not
thought OF II before. In his hopeful
imagination he at once began to revel
in roseate dreams.
At that particular period of his car
eer he was tired, hungry and out of a
job. For some days he had been en-
joying the hospitality OF the Roaring
River cattle gaHG. They were hold
ing and pasturiug a large herd on
Creek lands. Old Souser Ryan. the
big boss, was indebted TO Mr.. Dodger
for some little amenities connected
with the promiscuous use of brand
ing iron; consequently IL was up to
him to say to the drifting Pilgrim:
"Just make yourself at home; cuss
out the cook; rope cayuse and amuse
yourself. The woods are full of In
jins, but they will lick salt out Of
your hands"
Mr.. Dodger soon learned that the
Creeks were the richest people in the
world. 1t was said that every Creek
was entitled to an allotment Of $5,-
900 In gold and section of land.
Sitting by the camp fire Old Souser
put II into the head Of his guest that
It would be pretty caper for him to
rope Creek maiden and take In
home stake.
"There Is no doubt about their
wealth." said Souser. THE agent
told me that a settlement would be
made very soon. Play your cards
fine. though. Some Injins are no
good. For instance, the Potowats and
Cbinos are yags. You go after the
Greeks. They are the hot stuff"
Mr.. Dodger retired In very hopeful
frame of mind. That night in his
dreams he counted glittering stacks
Of gold. When he awoke the next
morning he felt that fortune In cash
section of fine land and pretty
indian bride was almost within his
grasp. Eager to commence opera
tons in this new field OF adventure
he hurriedly ate breakfast. and, af-
ter bestowing numerous mysterious
winks upon his friend, and giving the
camp an exhibition OF an ardent lover
hugging a sweetheart with hilarious
rapture, he mounted n mustang and
galloped away in the direction of a
Creek village.
"Do you reckon" said old Sous
er, that air tenderfoot ain't got any
better sense than to yoke up with one
OF these female dog-eaters? thought
he were just Joking"
"Pears TO me-" said one OF the cow
boys. that he is fxin' to stir up

Three days passed before Mr.. Dodg-
or returned TO camp. He came like
a cyclone, and before he had circled
about the camp-Indlan fashion
many times II was evident that he
was brimful OF visions OF Joy. He
was like man who had .ound for
