Colonel Samuel w. Jennings Is the
owner of cattle and range properties In
five Texan counties. He Is many times
millionaire. His greatest estate is the
VALERIE range, stretching over a hundred
square miles OF territory In JEFF Davis
and Pecos counties, with cattle aggre-
eating about 10000 head. The Jennings
home is on the VALERIE range.
Mrs. Jennings Is dead and the ranch
man values moro than all his millions

of her fathers cowboys.
Two weeks ago the child rode down to
the tiny station on the Southern Pacific
tracks which cross her fathers acres
The Galveston express from Ell Paso
was due to rush by. and after 1t the
slow local that stops at the VALERIE

No ono apparently saw her until she
was on the tracks. The express came

"Oh. no." said the rescuer. "You see
I'm just tramp and this couldn't hurt
my clothes much. You see l wasn't
risking much when jumped to save the
child. Now I guess I'll travel along"
You'll not" said one of the cowboys
"Why. the Colonel'd never forgive us IL
