We have as few "black sheep" in our place as any flock in the state. When there is discord in the family there is little progress. When there is united pull there is little we canr ot accomplish. Envy, jealousy and hatred pull us all down. Envy is a canker that gnaws at the heart and makes one sour, dis gruntled and unhappy. Jealousy makes one unfair Ill passing judgment: hatred does not pay even from a sordid point of view.

Georgetown Will Hold GYM Meet.

Everything has been practically settled
for the holding of a monster gymnasium
meet in the Ryan gymnasium, George
town University, Saturday evening, No

string that will take place periodically

nasium association.
Both meets will be under the personal
supervision Of Prof. NJ. A. Joyce, physi-
cal director Of the university. who has
had great success in this line of work
for a number of years past. He will
model the event on the very well car
ried on meets of last December, except
ing that he will introduce boxing as a
sport among the students. 1t will be re-
membered that this department was left
to the care Of professionals before, and
hence took the form of an exhibition
rather than Of real contest.
Besides three boxing matches among
the youngsters there will also be five
tumbling contests. a twenty-yard dash,
twenty-yard hurdle race, potato races,
high jumping and broad jumping con-
tests an event in Ginning the bar for
endurance and another for climbing the

war between tweve-man teams repre-
senting the college and the prep school.
All contests will be open to members of
the gymnasium and no entrance fee of
any kind will be exacted.

CHAPTER XxXlIs
The Call.

The Call.
Beyond receiving reports from Ken
nedy and Banks, who in the interval
rode into town and rode out again on
their separate and silent ways, Whis-
pering Smith for two days seemed to
do nothing. Yet instinct keener than
silence kept the people of Medicine
Bend on edge during those two days,
and when President Bucks car came
in on the evening of the second day,
the town knew from current rumOrS
that Banks had gone to the French
man ranch with warrant on seri-
Gus charge for Sinclair. In the presi-
dents car Bucks and McCloud, after
late dinner, were Joined by Whisper
ing Smith, and the president heard
the first connected story of the events
of the fortnight that had passed.
Bucks made no comment until he had
heard everything. "And they rode
Sinclair's horses" he said in con-
clusion.
"Sinclair's horses" returned Wits
pering Smith, land they are all ac-
counted for. One horse supplied by
Rebstock was shot where they crossed
Stampede creek. 1t had given out and
they had fresh horse in the willows,
for they shot the scrub half mile up
one of the canyons near the crossing.
The magpies attracted my attention
to it. A piece of skin foot square
had been cut out Of the flank"
"You got there before the BIRDS"
cit was about an even thing" said
Smith. Anyway, we were there in
time to see the horse"
"And Sinclair was away from the
ranch from Saturday noon till Sunday
night?"
"A rancher living over on Siam
pede creek saw the five men when
they crossed Saturday afternoon. The
fellow was scared and lied to me
about it, but he told Wickwire who
they WERE"
''Now, who is Wickwire?" asked
Bucks.
you ought to remember Wickwire,
George" remarked Whispering Smith,
turning to McCloud. you haven't
forgotten the Smoky creek wreck?
Do you remember the tramp who had
his legs crushed and lay in the sun all
morning? You put him in your car
and sent him down here to the rail
road hospital and Barnhardt took care
of him. That was Wickwire. Not
bad fellow, either; he can talk pretty
straight and shoot pretty straight
How do l know? Because he has told
me the story and I've seen him shoot
There, you see, is one friend that you
never reckoned on. He used to be
cowboy, and l got Inn job working
for Sinclair on the .Frenchman; he
has worked at Cummings and other
places on the Crawling Stone. He
hates Sinclair with a deadly hatred
for some reason. Just lately Wick
