The giraffe is the second story work

end and head at the other. In the
matter of neck it has all the rest of
the animal kingdom beaten by a

so far from it's stomach that it has

for two weeks was slowly travelling its

The giraffe looks as if it had started

very dark in color, marked by yellow

eagles nests and rainbows. During
the Boer war the British army had
some difficulty with CRATES. which
formed great liking for war balloons
and frequently nibbled them during
their fight in order to inhale the gas
Why does the giraffe have a long
distance neck? Persons given to the
use Of common sense will realize that
Africa is rich in insect life as we'll as
animal life and that all African ami
mails carry innumerable parasites on
their hides. The CRATES head is so
far from his body that long neck is
absolutely necessary In order that he
may reach down and grab off a tick
from his fetlock when necessary.

"Where-there? No! Yes, hold on,

excitement of ten hours and ten dol
lars in one day. His name sounded

CHAPTER XII.
Farley.


1t was recalled n evening not long
ago at the Wickiup that the affair with
Sinclair had all taken place within a
period of two years, and that practical
ly all of the actors in the event had
been together and in friendly relation
on a Thanksgiving day at the Dunning
ranch not so very long before the trou-
BILE began. Dicksie Dunning was away
at school at the time, and Lance Dun
ming was celebrating with a riding and
shooting fest and a barbecue.
The whole country had been invited.
Bucks was in the mountains on an in
spection trip, and Bill Dancing drove
him with a party of railroad men e
from Medicine Bend. The mountain
men for $50 miles around were out.
Gene and Bob johnson, from Oroville
and the Peace river, had come with
their friends. From Williams Cache
there was not only a big delegation
more of one than was really desirable
but it was led by old John Rebstock
himself. When the invitation is gen.
eral, lines cannot be too closely drawn.
Not only was Lance Dunning some
thing of a sport himself, but on the
Long Range 1t is part of a stockman's
creed to be on good terms with his
neighbors. At a Thanksgiving day bar
becue not even a mountain sheriff
would ask questions.
Among the railroad people were
George McCloud, Anderson, the assts-
tant superintendent, Farrell Kennedy.
chief of the special service, and his
right-hand man, Bob Scott. In espe-
cial, Sinclair's presence at the barbe-
cue was recalled. He had some cronies
with him from among his up-country
following, and was introducing his
new bridge foreman, Karg, afterward
known as Flat Nose, and George Sea-
grue, the Montana cowboy. Sinclair
fraternized that day with the Williams
Cache men, and it was remarked even
then that though a railroad man he ap-
peared somewhat outside the railroad
circle. When the shooting matches
were announced a brown-eyed railroad
man was asked to enter. He had been
out of the mountains for some time
and was a comparative stranger
in the gathering, but the VII
liams Cache men had not for
gotten him; Rebstock. especially.
wanted to see him shoot. While much
OF the time out Of the mountains on
railroad business, he was known to be
closely in Bucks counsels. and as to
the mountains themselves, he was re-
puted to know them better than Bucks
or Glover himself knew them. This
