out and he saw his antagonist still
unhurt. he cursed his luck and turned
back down the trail. knowing that in
a mere physical contest he would be
no match for that giant above, who
was also hurrying to his cabin for
more cartridges. So the war ended
that day. and Jim went under the
camp surgeons care to wait until his
wounded arm healed.
Four days Of waiting passed on
Number Three, In which time Bill
carefully cleaned up his rife each
morning, and passed the day with
Doc, who was trifle inconvenienced
from the effects of the bullet which
had glanced along his skull but had
brought no more serious injury. Then
the mail came, bringing with 1t the
missing deed for the property duly
signed, attested and recorded back in
Iowa, and Bill felt greater confidence.
This was broken in upon by the shsr-
III.
It was well along in the afternoon
when the officer arrived with posse
sufficient to make 1t interesting for
the most desperate man in the range,
and by his side triumphantly rode Jim
Upton. with his arm in a sling. Bill
grinned maliciously at this eviden &c
of his craftsmanship. and with ncn-
chalant air chewed pine-spill as the
posse came to halt in front of the
cabin.
BILL" the sheriff opened, II think
you're on the wrong trail. I've come
up here with the papers from the
court. and If you want to see 1t I've
got the deed givin' this Number Three
to the Wilder Tibbets. Guess you'll
have to hike"
Bills expression of confidence wan
ed. and he thought Of his gun.
Deeds, Deeds" he growled, In a
surprised tone. 'Tf you've got a deed,
Hank. I'd like to see 1t. We've got
one. too"
1t was the oficers' turn to be sur

Bill went to his cabin so full Of
trouble that he couldn't sleep, and
down in the camp Jim was entertain
ed by Mrs. Tibbets until he was ready
to die for her, If it came to a question
of right and title.
Two days armistice went by, Bill
and Doc awaiting events and Jim puz-
cling his head over the advice of law
yers. who always wanted a little
further time to look into the case,
and used Latin terms which he
couldn't understand. The next day he
took trip to his own claim, but in
stead Of working, crawled up on the
ridge to see what was doing on Mari
posa. Everything was as usual, the
trees standing silent. the shadows
crawling with regularity along the
canon wall, and the big giant down
below ripping and tearing away at
the earth. This last was too much.
Jim hurried back across the divide
and then down to the camp. where.
on the following day. he expostulated
with the lawyers.
Il tell you," he said. banging his fist
on the nearest table, this law games
all right. but 1t amt the way to han
die Teller or woman, either. that's
jumped a claim"
Easy, easy" urged the lawyer
Easy be damned! Can't you see
they're a-workin' the mine all the
time, and a-gettin' out pay while
you're cadgin' around here and dom
nothin'?"
Then he tore madly out of the
shanty. walked gloomily around the
camp for a while, and decided to talk
to his protegee. She had taken to
tears by this time. and that strength
ened his resolution. He went to bed
resolved that on the morrow he would
end the laws delay, conduct the af-
fair according to his own code, aad
force settlement.
1t was barely daylight when he
rode up the Mariposa trail, followed

wherein she was happy. He knew
that it was none of his business but,
somehow, after all, 1t seemed his
fight He would run bluff for Es-
merelda.
"Oh. the girl that's here's got the
papers, all right. Jim," he said. shes
got the papers. Besides, she's told
me all about 1t, an know it's on the
square. There amt nobody got no
rights to this claim but Esmerelda
Brown"
Now, Jim Upton was man OF
strong opinions himself, and was OF
an inQuiring turn of mind, needing to
have proof for any assertion made
with such confidence. The blum didn't
work, and before Bill could interfere
he had turned to Esmerelda and ask
ed to see the papers. Esmerelda, be-
ing truthful, at once said the papers
were in a safe-deposit vault back in
Iowa.
"Bill," Jim said, this amt my fi-
neral, but reckon this girl amt got
no papers. and Mrs. Tibbets has. So
this here girls got to CO."
Bill felt his hair raise. This was
too much. First because he felt him
self to be Esmerelda's only champion,
and, second, because Esmerelda's
word had been doubted, which was
beyond endurance. Big as he was.
and, therefore, according to the rules
OF size, good-natured, he flashed out.

He advanced as he talked. until he
faced Jim, who stood his ground
sQuarely and unafraid. It's probable
the war would have broken out then

the beautiful Austoff residence and
the whole family sleep there winter
and summer rather than live and
sleep in the finely appointed residence
just in front of the tent. Now they
prefer the cabin with it's odor of burn
ing wood from the big chunks of wood
heaped up In the open fireplace of
the cabin to the atmosphere OF the
residence with its complicated tndi-
rect hot-water heating and ventilating
systems. Such is the love for out
door life In the Austoff family who
prefer, by choice, to live close to ma
ture.
The idea came to Mrs. Austofr one
day when she looked out of the win
dow and saw workmen engaged in
cutting through a new street in the
neighborhood and destroying fine big
trees by burning up the trunks in big
fires. Why not get those logs and
build a log cabin? The workmen
were only too glad to have them haul
ed out Of the way. The next day the
tent in the backyard came down and
log cabin was In progress. Miss

Literature and Hogs.

The following was written and widely
circulated ten years ago when the fight
was on against the Loud Bill. and will
bear repeating now:
The rate for hauling hogs and sample
hogs from Chicago to Philadelphia is
SIS. 90 per ton in large or small quantities,
one hog deep, and the hogs have to be
fed and watered on the way, the sick
ones doctored and the dead ones thrown
out The hogs are weighed in bulk. The
distance is little over 300 miles.
The rate publishers pay for second class
matter-sample copies Of newspapers and
serial books-is $40 per ton average
postal haul being little over 300 miles,,
and the mail bags do not have to be fed
or watered, none get sick or die on the
way, and may be piled two or three deep.
1t is proposed by the Loud Bill to in
crease the rate of the latter class to $50
per ton. over fourteen times as much as
hogs, and sample hogs, pay, each in-
dividual piece and fraction of piece to
be stamped, and nothing at all is said in
the bill about increasing the rate on hogs,
or sample hogs, nor Of requiring each
hog. or fraction of hog or sample hog,
to be stamped. and there is no difference
in the rate between hogs and sample
hogs.
Why this partiality for hogs? Why
this discrimination against Literature3
Is it fair, is it right1 Upon what glorious
principle of honor and patriotism can it
be justified? None whatever--it is all
wrong. The next step will be to give
hogs free passes to go and come any
where and everywhere, while books and
newspapers will rot be allowed to travel
at all. This is class legislation pure and
simple. and therefore inimicable to the
Declaration of Independence, and antag.
onistic TO the Constitution of the Uuited
States. 1t certainly is.
Seriously, gentlemen, let it not be said
of us that we enter the 2oth century as a
people wi show favors to swine, what
ever the breed, but that we love Liteya-
tuyy better than Hogs.

If You remember, W. ]. Bryan during
the campaign Of 1908 advocated the
limiting of any concern to fifty per cent.
of the country's production in any line.
He proposed this that monopoly in that
line might be prohibited. The PROPOSE
tion was received with ridicule by our
business guardians. Now, e. H. Gary,
of the United States Steel Corporation
comes forward with the same plan, but
puts the percentage at 60. Here we have
the big corporations stealing Bryan's
thunder.
