swallowed up in triumph. 1t was near
ly dark when he reached the crest be-
tween the hills. At this point the
southern grade of the pass winds
sharply, whence its name, the Elbow;
but from the head of the pass the
grade may be commanded at intervals
for half a mile. Trotting down this
road with his head in q whirl of ex-
element, McCloud heard the crack of
a rife; at the same instant he felt a
sharp slap at his hat. Instinct works
on all brave men very much alike.
McCloud dropped forward in his sad
die, and, seeking no explanation, laid
his head low and spurred Bill Dan
cing's horse for life or death. The
horse. quite amazed, bolted and
swerved down the grade like a snipe,
with his rider crouching close for a
second shot. But no second shot
came, and after another mile McCloud
ventured to take of his hat and put
his finger through the holes in 1t,
though he did not stop his horse to
make the examination. When they
reached the open country the horse
had settled into a fast, long stride
that not only redeemed his reputation
but relieved his riders nerves.
When McCloud entered his office 1t
was half past nine o'clock. and the
first thing he did before turning on
the lights was to draw the window
shades. He examined the hat again,
with sensations that were new to him
fear, resentment, and hearty
hatred Of his enemies. But all the
while the picture of Dicksie remained.
He thought of her nodding to him as
they parted in the saddle, and her pic
ture blotted out all that had followed.

Callahan, slowly filling the bowl of his
pipe.
McCloud said nothing to the point,
as there seemed TO be nothing to say
until he had heard more. II never
knew before that you were left

TITS a lucky thing. because 1t won't

ATest.

Du Sang had the sidewise gait Of a
wolf, and crossed the street with the
choppy walk of the man out OF q
long saddle. Being both uncertain and
quick, he was u.an to slip a trail
easily. He travelled around the block
and disappeared among the many open
doors that blazed along Hill street.
Less alert trailers than the two be-
hind him would have been at fault;
but when he entered the place hs was

CHAPTER XIV.
At the Wickiup,

Two nights later Whispering Smith
rode into Medicine Bend. 'Tve been
up around Williams Cache" he said,
answering McCloud's greeting as he
entered the upstairs office. How goes
it?" He was in his riding rig, just as
he had come from a late supper.
When he asked for news McCloud
told him the story of the trouble with
Lance Cunning over the survey, and
added that he had referred the matter
to Glover. He told then OF his I'M
pleasant surprise when riding home
afterward.
Yes" assented Smith, looking with
feverish interest at McCloud's head I;
Il heard about it,"
That's odd, for l haven't said a
word about the matter to anybody but
Marion Sinclair, and you haven't seen
her."
Il heard up the country. It is great
luck that he missed you"
who missed me?"
THE man that was after you"
"The bullet went through my hat"
Let me see the hat"
McCloud produced 1t. II was a
heavy, broad-brimmed Stetson, with a
bullet hole cut clearly through the
front and the back of the crown.
Smith made McCloud put the hat on
and describe bis position when the
shot was fired. McCloud stood up,
and Whispering Smith eyed him and
put questions.
What do you think of it," asked
McCloud when he had done.
Smith leaned forward on the table
and pushed McCloud's hat toward him
as II the incident were closed. There
is no question in my mind, and there
never has been, but that Stetson puts
up the best hat worn on the range"
McCloud raised his eyebrows. why
thank you. Your conclusion clears
things so. After you speak a man
has nothing to do but guess"
But, by heaven, George" exclaimed
Smith. speaking with unaccustomed
fervor. Miss Dicksie Dunning is 9
hummer, isn't she? That child will
have the whole range going in another
year. To think OF her standing uI

were a large number of entries and
that the show promised to be Of excep-
tional quality. Almost every kind of
breed known will be displayed. Rib,
bons and cash prizes are offered for the
prize winners.
The exhibition of dairy herds will be
exceptionally good. Hhere are a
number Of farmers. living within a ra-
dius of forty miles of the city, who
specialize on dairy cattle and they
have promised to send their best spec
linens Raisers of high grade beef
cattle will also send their best stock
for exhibition.
Farmers will take much interest in
the cattle displays because of the In
crease in value in the past few years
Cattle are selling today for exception
ally good prices at all Of the stock
yard centers. The price Of butter and
milk is also well known to the con-
sumer. Cattle today either the milk
or beef producing varieties. are one
Of the most profitable assets Of the

selves to anything like the truth
there has been a startling, state wide
advance in realty this fall. There is
scarcely an issue of weekly or daily
that doesn't chronicle the transfer of
landed property. It is almost the uni
versal report that the price has ad-
vanced from 10 to 100 per cent within
a comparatively short time.
Even if North Dakota farmers had
made nothing on their crops they will
soon acquire fortunes on the increasing
value of their holdings. There is only
one crop of land-and that in North
Dakota is on the bumper variety If
you have none, now is the time to get
some. 1t will never be any cheaper.
There is no better investment. Gov
ernment bonds are not in 1t with

The hold which the great college
game of football has on the people of
the northwest was well demonstrated
in Minneapolis Saturday afternoon
when $4,000 people crowded onto
Northorp field to witness the annual
contest between the universities of
Minnesota and Chicago
1t was a magnificent audience and
the stage was well set for the per-
formance. The contest was brilliant
and the frequent sensational plays
thrilled the spectators 1t was duel in
which both Drawn and brains were in,
