 Swing that girl, that pretty little girl.
 That girl you left behind you.'
 he advanced toward her with an air of mock gallantry. At the same mo- ment Bat Daly stalked into the middle of the set, sombrero planted firmly on his head, long cowhide whip in his hand, He seized Nelly by the arm in a grip that must have hurt her, and said, I'm going home now, you can do as you d-d please" A pistol shot could not have made half the sensa- tion caused by this breach of etiquette; indeed 1t would not have been half so unprecedented. Nelly turned with an air of startled defiance, but at sight of Daly's scowling face she recoiled
 I'm all ready to go," she said sud denly, and too thoroughly cowed to cast even a parting glance at Jack, she hurried away to get ready for her 20-mile drive. Cyrus had started forward nervously, but grasped his arm and drew him back into his seat with whispered caution to mind his own business. AS l expected, Jack Burrell took matters coolly, provided himself with another partner, and the dance went on. And so the thunder cloud had withdrawn, and the bolt had not fallen. It was not until the gray dawn was in the sky that the last of the revelers drove through the cow yard and out across the prairie to meet the rising sun.
 But Bat Daly's vengeance was yet to come, and strangely enough, to fall upon the wrong man. About noon the same day Cyrus was crossing a field, a mile away from the ranch-house, when his ears caught the sound of swiftly galloping pony. AS he turned the rider came into sight and in an other moment Bat Daily had leaped to the ground not ten feet from him. He

had flung the rein over the neck of his steamng bronco; but he himself was as calm and cool as though he had not ridden 20 miles before sun rise.
 "rve come to fix up my account with you. Jack Burrell," Bat remarked coolly. If he had ragged passicnately, his action would not have so alarmed Cyrus. But his deadly ccnposure, the careless indifference with which he held his gun in his right hand, while his left hung loosely at his side, was more than terrifying, it was blood curdlng. For an instant Cyrus brain whirled wildly, but through the con fused beat of his pulses, overmaster- ing the fear of sudden death, he was conscious of one clearly defined hope that Jack might not arrive before Daly discovered his mistake. Jack was too fine fellow to end like this, and if Daly killed him, Cvrns. the brute would probably be satisfied and leave this part of the country for good. Something like sense of relief touched him at the thought that in this supreme moment at least he was no coward, he was capable of self sacrifice. He was trembling from head to foot, and yet there was an odd de- fiance in his voice, as he cried out: Shoot, then. I'm ready"
 Bat Daly's response came quickly, his finger pressed the trigger, and Cyrus fell. Hut the echo of the shot had not died away before it was drowned in another sharp report and Daily staggered against his bronco with a bullet in his shoulder. It was only a flesh wound, however, and with an oath of surprise he leaped to the sad dle and galloped away followed by several other shots, none of which

caused in him horrible physical mischief brewing rested upon his spirit like nightmare.
 Great heavens! What a coward I am" he groaned aloud.
 The white horse rubbed his velvet nose in mute sympathy against the mans shoulder; but there was no solace that tho white horse could give. Cyrus leaned against the friendly neck. and set his teeth hard together. A lifelong chagrin welled up in him, flooding his soul with bitterness. If Cyrus Burrell had not adored his twin brother, be would have hated him hated him for possessing that one quality of rash courage beside which every other virtue seemed mean and worthless. Presently he found him. self looking in at the window again. lack had disappeared from the scene. Bat Daily and h,s Nelly were sitting side by side In sulky silence. The fiddlers had falle4l into a more senti- mental strain; hjrts of "The Mocking Bird" might be heard struggling for utterance in the strings. In this am bilious attempt the pitch would get lower and lower. and then recover itself with a queer faisetto effect

Cyrus attention had become vague and scattered. He fixed his eyes upon an elderly man of an anxious counten- ance, with a shock of tow-colored hair sticking out straight in all directions. The man was having some difficulty in steering his partner through an in tricate figure; he was the only person on the floor who did not keep step and his movements became at every moment more vague and undecided Then at last the wiry, determined looking bronco buster sprang upon the company the somewhat abstruse di- rection:
 Lady round the gent and the gent don't Lady round the lady, and the gent solo," The gent in question became hope lessly bewildered, and stood stock still in the middle of the floor. By the time the set was disentangled the dance seemed to be over, and the bronco buster dismissed the dancers with the somewhat cynical prophecy: You'll all get married on a stormy day"
 At this juncture, midnight being well passed, supper was announced, The kitchen door swung open, and the fragrant smell of the coffee took pos session of the room, and floated out through the open window. As some one closed the window in his face, Cyrus followed the other louhgers into the house The men had all made stampede for the kitchen; the women sat on chairs and benches against the wall, some of them leaning their heads back wearily while others famed themselves and their neigh bors with vigor, not relaxing for a moment the somewhat strained vivac- ity which they felt that the occasion demanded. Bat Dalys Nelly-no one knew her last name-sat a little apart from the others. She was apparently absorbed in the contemplation of her cket-handkerchief, a piece of coarse finery. flirting it across her face in lieu of the fan, which had slid to the floor.
 Cyrus paused on his way to the kitchen and observed he- closely. He

reached the intended target. But that first shot of Jack Burrells, as his pony tore across the field, was long talked of in the vicinity. He reached his brothers side, dismounted, and ex- amined him closely. Daly's bullet had struck his victim in the chest, pene- trating the right lung and according to a physician, who luckily happened to be near at hand attending to cow boy with broken leg. there was small hope for the wounded youths recov- cry.
 When the doctors verdict was an nounced Jack Burrell hastily collected several of his friends with the inten- tion of hunting down the assassin and as l chanced to be the nearest officer of the law within reach. found my self riding in the capacity of deputy sheriff at the head of a posse in pur- suit of Mir. Bat Daly. The latter had a good start. however, and by the time we got shaped around and picked up the trail. 1t became evident that luck was against us. Bat Daly had got CledT away, ana at nlSnt1alI we re- turned to the ranch empty handed and decidedly crestfallen.
 But fickle fortune was destined to change he" mind again. for two days later l received information from an unexpected source to the effect that Bat Daly was In the town of Prescott, Ariz., carousing around and apparently making no attempt to conceal his identity. Knowing Daly's character as I did, this did not greatly surprise me. Reckless even in his sober moments, when he was engaged in a debauch the fear of consequences was the last thing in the world to trouble his mind. I had some business that l wanted to attend to In Prescott, anyway, and l resolved to go and see after it. Incl dentally, determined that if I could get the drop on MT Bat Daily would bring him to book for his crime. 1 had always liked young Cyrus Burrell, and the fact of his having been will ing to sacrifice himself in place of his brother made me respect him highly into the bargain. If he should die, as the surgeon had prophesied. it would

The report Of the death of Prof. A. E.
Farmer, Of Pontiac, Mich, came as a sad
surprise to his many friends in Silver
City.
Mr.. Farmer was principal of the school
here for three years, during which time
he did much to awaken a keener interest
in educational work here, and to grade
the school more thoroughly than had
been done previously.
He was a true gentleman in every sense,
man of sterling qualities, a conscien-
and painstaking teacher.
His educational ability was of the high
est, having received diplomas from sew
eral of the leading universities.
Mr.. Farmer will be sadly missed, not
only in his home and among his large
circle of friends, but also in the ed,lca-
tional world, where he played so promi-
nent part.
"There is no death! The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in Heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-there are no dead"
A FRIEND.

Work is progressing rapidly on the
Banner tunnel with satisfactory results.
as the indications of soon eucountering
the Banner lead are very encouraging.
The owners of property on the Boul-
der are making preparations to further
develop their holdings and will soon be
at work and taking out ore aud putting
their claims in Shape to demonstrate
their size and values. For large veins
carrying good values the Boulder is the
Chief.
The secretary Of the T ade Dollar
Con. Mining Co, is here looking over
their property. We are creditably in
formed that in the shaft they are sink
ing below the 1900 foot level, body Of
ore has been encountered that carries
good values in gold, with copper and
silver. The extent of the ore body has
not been developed enough TO give any
authentic description concerning it or
its values. The company will soon de-
termine the future development work
TO be followed. This mine has been a
steady producer for years and has paid
many millions in dividends, aud the
end is not yet.

Marcus White was over from Flint the

camp is looking up this spring. 1t is re-
ported that considerable work will be
done in that locality this season.
Albert Jordi, prominent rancher and
stock raiser Of South Mountain has been
in town for several days attending to bust
ness. Although he has been engaged in
the sheep business he believes in the en-
forcement Of the 2-mile limit law and in
sists upon its enforcement
Prof Bradfeld has made great success
of the management OF the school as prin-
cipal and the trustees will be fortunate if
they can induce him to remain in charge
of the school for the coming year, as he
has the good will and confidence of his
pupils and is thoroughly competent to
occupy the position.

We desire to thank the jury and citi-
zens Of this county, for sustaining the
principle OF right and justice in our action
against the mining company that at
tempted to beat us out of our wages for
labor performed; and are thankful that
we have taken up our residence among
such fairminded and honest people. We
asked only for a square deal, and we got
it.
The pupils Of the primary room showed
their appreciation of their teacher, Miss
Carrie Hastings, by presenting her with
a very valuable present at the close of the
term. The road to success as a teacher is
to win the confidence and love Of your
pupils, and in this respect Miss Carrie is
sure a grand success. From appearances
she has not only won the hearts OF her
little pupils, but there are others.
The preliminary trial OF Robert Park
inson, for shooting at Calvin Niles at
Bruneau recently, is in progress before
Judge Heer. From what we can learn of
the case at the time of going to press, it
is the elimination OF mixture of bad
whiskey, beer, and very little water,
freely indulged in by a couple Of sheep
herders, who got into a scrap. There
was also gun in the case and it went Off
And the taxpayer will be called on to
pay the expenses Of the suit. This habit
of carrying guns and getting drunk causes
much trouble and expense to the tax
payers. Enforce the law against carry
ing concealed weapons.

blossoms, and should be very thorough
without unnecessary waste of material.
The object of this spraying is to lodge
some poison in the calyx cup of the
apples. A high pressure and reason
ably coarse spray will best accomplish
this. 1t should be the aim of the man
with the spray rod to hit every calyx
cup with the spray, and at the same
time avoid directing the nozzle at the
trunk and larger limbs. There seems
to be prevalent notion that the ar
senate of lead accomplishes some good
when allowed to run under the loose
bark on the trunks of trees. This no.
ton has resulted in much harm, for in
spraying the trunks quantities of the
liquid have been allowed to get into
the soil at the crown of the tree, and
when the arsenate of lead is brought
into solution by the alkali water the
tree is often killed AS no good is ac-
complished in controlling any insect on
the bark, and as irreparable damage
may be done to the tree because of
such practice, care should be exer-
cised to avoid all unnecessary waste of
material.
In conclusion, it has been proved that
the excessive amount of arsenate of
lead which is being applied in controll-
ing the codling moth has resulted in
the death of many trees. Whatever
methods the future may bring about
for controlling this pest the present
must concern itself with our already
successful methods in hopes that a
modification of same may result in a
continuance of their use.
