NED FOUND THE cows.
Western Ranch Boys Adventure with
Cattle Thieves.

1t was a warm morning in June
when Ned Wilson's father approached
him and said: Ned, you know those
cows | bought Of Farmer Buckley?
Well, they wandered away last night
and wish you could go and find
them. Do you think you could?"
why, yes, father Why not?"
"All right, then; get Lightning and

think they went
Yes sir was the quick reply.
Soon Ned was at the barn where
his pony was kept. He unfastened
the strap, jumped into the saddle
and was soon hidden from view by
some bushes that grew by the river.
Ned lived with his father on a
large cattle ranch in Texas. The
night before they had lost three
cows, which Mr. Wilson felt sure
went down by the river that was a
few miles from his house.
Lightning was a swift runner and
Ned was soon down by the river. AS

We'll, there has been man going
around taking cattle from different

yours get lost?"
Ned told him he thought they had
strayed, and they decided to hunt
together On riding half mile far
ther, they saw something stir In the
bushes.
There are some cows now, said
the constable, as he dismounted.
Ned sprang to the ground and they
went in among the bushes where they
saw Ned's three COWS and also a hut
not far away.
Let US go up to the hut, said
the boy
The suggestion was accepted and
both went up to the hut, only to find
Il deserted.

out to sea. He found, however, that
he could not get near enough to de-

vessel threw rope to him.
Instantly the intelligent dog knew

lecturer was a geologist, and chose
Niagara falls for his topic.
He told us about the geological

the falls were slowly wearing back
toward Buffalo, and that in the course

The reverse action happens, how
ever; the cycle moves backwards and
