Tie Call.

Tie Gall.
 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 a seri ous charge for Sinclair. In tLe presi dents car Bucks and McCloud, after a 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 Backs made no comment until he had heard everything. And they rode Sinclair's horses" he said in con- clusion
 "Sinclair's horses" returned Whis- pering Smith, and they are all ac- counted for. One horse supplied by Rebstock was shot where they crossed Stampede creek. It 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 1t. A piece of skin a foot square had been cut out of the flank"
 You got there before the birds"
 Tt 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 Stan 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 a bad fellow, either; he can talk pretty straight and shoot pretty straight Low do I know? Because he has told me the story and I've seen him shoot. There. you see. is one friend that you never reclSoieed on. He used to be a cowboy. and I got him a job working for Sinclair on the Frenchman: he has worked at Dunning's and other places on the Crawling Stone. He

Duty


 The stir of the town over the shoot ing of Banks seemed to Marion, in her distress, to point an accusing finger at her. The disgrace of what she had felt herself powerless to prevent now weighed on her mind. and she asked herself whether, after all, the respon- sibility of this murder was not upon her. Even putting aside this painful doubt. she bore the name of the man who had sayagely defied accountabli- ty and now. it seemed to her, was dragging her with him through the slough of blood and dishonor into which he had plunged.
 The wretched thought would return that had she listened to him. had she consented to go away, this outbreak might have been prevented. And what horror might not another day bring what lives still closer to her life be

 She closed the door She had even strength enough to bolt it before his footsteps died away. She put out the light and felt her way blindly back to the workroom. She staggered through it, clutching at the curtains, and fell in the darkness into Dicksie's arms
 Marion, dear, don't speak" Dicksie whispered. "l heard everything. Oh Marion!" she cried, suddenly con. scious of the inertness of the burden in her arms "Oh, what shall do?"
 Moved by fright to her utmost strength, Dicksie drew the uncon- scious woman back to her room and managed to lay her on the bed. Mari on opened her eyes a few minutes later to see the lighis burning, to hear the telephone bell ringing, and to find Dieksie on the edge of the bed beside her.

In whichever way her thoughts turned, wretcheiness was upon them. and tie day went in one of those despairing and indecisive battles that each one within his own heart must fight at times with heaviness and doubt.
 McCloud called her over the te,e- phone in the afternoon to say that he was going west on the evening train and would not be over for supper. She wished he could have come, for her loneliness began to be insupport- able.
 Toward sunset she put on her hat and started for the post-office. In the meantime, Dicksie, at home, had called McCioud up and told him she was coming down for the night. lie immediately cancelled his plans for going west and when Marion returned at dusk she found him with Dickse at the cottage.

Through the courtesy Of X. A. Steen
we had the pleasure Of an automobile
ride to the metropolis Of Newdale last
Sunday afternoon and enjoyed a
visit to the cantaloupe orchard Of
G. II. Willis, mayor of that burg.
Although most OF his neighhors were
husking and packing cantaloupes. we
found the mayor religiously living up
TO the biblical injunction to keep the
Sabbath day holy. and not do any
work. The mayor hopes that every
day will be Sunday by and by. He
says that will be heaven enough for
him.
For the past month. however. the
working six days week with great
regularity. He has about twenty-five
acres of as fine cantaloupes this year
MS ever grew out of doors. During the
past three weeks he has shipped
about 1900 crates, and says he has
netted about 81 per crate up to the
present time. The second week he
shipped an average OF from 250 to
go crates per day. and last week
from 100 to 100 crates per day. He
expected the average for the week
just closed TO be up to the best that
he has yet had. The mayor OF New

Rasmussen's wife and father have
