and thought that being a partner en-
titled him to eat most anything that
was green around the place. Jim
threatened to sell him, though, and
maybe that was one reason he grew
more careful It was very serious
time.
Badly" Jim said, you onery, no.
account cuss, you've gone and eat the
heads off four cabbages and five
patches of marigolds, and now you've
tried to swaller the rose-bush. orter
let you go to some Teller bound for
the desert where there amt nothin' to
eat; but I'm goin' to give you one
more chance, and dam good club
bin"
So Badly finally learned what not
to eat.
Fall came along, and then there
were occasional drifts of snow up in
the high hills, and Jim was perplexed
what to do with Annie. He didn't
like the women of the camp, and he
hated to have the girl away from him.
So when he was down in San Ber-
nardino, he took the advice of his
warmest friend, "Jedge Gregg" and
put her at school in. the convent. It
was bitter parting and hard for her
to understand. Jim talked to her as
If she were almost a grown woman,
instead Of q f1ve-year-old baby.
"Now, don't you feel bad, Annie
girl" he consoled, as he patted her
on the back 81 jest can't keep you

Besides, if l amt lookin' out all the
time and maxim bluff at livin' on
the place your daddy left you, some
bodyn come along and jump your
claim. There! There! Don't cry!
I'll come and see you every trip,
and"-his voice sank to confidential
whisper-"when summer comes again,
and the brook is a-runn1n' and the
birds a-singin', you can hit the trail
with me and Badly, just like you've
been doin'."
He walked around the room with
her a few times, while the good sis
ter waited and concluded: "And you
must learn to read, SOS when you git
back you can read to me, because /
amt strong on readin,."
With this final solace, he left her,
and In time she grew to watch for
his comings, and bear with his go
ings.
The winter came, when the SHOWS
fell deep, to be followed by the time
when the milder air told Of spring,
and the land showed green again.

don't care if you happen to be the
first one.''
Then he let go his hold and left the
man sitting in the street with crowd
around.
'They sure can't grab Armies land"
he muttered out it looks as If they're
goin' to give me trouble, and I don't
know nothin' much about them
things" So he decided to see his
friend, the Judge.
"Jim," the judge said, "1'll look
the case up. I think your title is
good; but in the meantime don't for
get that possession means much. Pos
session may mean everything"
Jim said he would remember, and it
was the first time since he came into
the country that he went back light
and driving his animals to the utmost,
without filing his orders. He struck
out for the pass in the hills at top
most speed, and drove his burros on
long after the moon had risen. Their
time of rest was short, and the dawn
found them hurrying On again.
Throughout the day they went on,
and on, and as he went Jim kept
thinking and worrying over the turn
that might go against Annie and her
property. He believed he would be
ahead of any others on the land, IN
less they had already been sent, and
had waited for him to start the down
trip when they could put up their no.
tees. He felt the need Of reaching,
In the very shortest time, the little
cabin in the mountains hollow, and
when darkness fell once more there
was small rest.
Another day of haste, and when
night came he was close to his desti-
nation.
The little cavalcade swung over the
brow of hill and around curve in
the moonlight, which was strong, and
came to a stop. They had been
jumped and evicted in earnest, for be-
low where the cabin had stood was
now a heap Of dying embers, and,
lolling about campfire but short
distance away, were four men in full
possession.
Jim dropped from his saddle and
stood for moment as If planning his
campaign. He knew that he must get
to pretty close quarters before making
his presence known. He started out
into the open, and Badly, tired but
faithful, would have followed If Jim
hadn't driven him back.
Better keep out Of trouble when
you can, old man." he muttered. 'Ive
got little errand out there, so you

Sometimes, too, Badly came trudging
along without her. That was when
she could be found asleep in the arms
Of the big lank man, who soberly

great gravity as though he knew more
about babies than Mrs. Winslow,
she's jest like cubs, and kittens, and
all them other cute little cusses. She
jest materially has to go to sleep about

Then he would ride on and catch
up with Badly, who would look back
once in a while as If to make sure
whether he could really trust the girl
with Jim
Again, you might come on them by
their campfire at night, when the
flames were shooting up and making
the shadows of the trees look very
deep and dark, and on log would be
sitting Jim telling stories to little An
ME, whose eyes would be very open
and very interested. If you looked
hard you would probably find Badly
loafing around somewhere pretty close
by.
They called the place where Bill
Pape died home" and although they
kept the flowers and things looking
near and nice, the vegetables didn't get
much care. Jim was too busy. Be-
sides, Jim didn't seem to be much Of
a vegetable man.

Everything in the camp was the same,
but in the city, In the valley far be-
low, there was great excitement and
stir. Capitalists had come who were
going to build big dam across the
canon below Jims house, send their
bitches over the valley below, and
make the land worth something. Of
course these men figured that Jim
wouldn't give any trouble, and. II he
did, it wouldn't amount to anything
He went ahead oblivious Of all this

was coming away from the convent, a

with the mans head, and nothing but
a brisk confession saved him. After
that he was ready to talk. He real
lied that the one before him was in
no mood to stop at anything, least OF
all his death. He read something in
the grim, set face that sent a shud-
dering question through his mind as
to whether even the answering Of all
question would bring mercy. It seemed
that at that moment now 1t might be-
come an execution. Two examples of
resistance were ct his feet.
There was another instant's silence,
In which time the man who had been
rocking backward and forward on the
ground gave another twist, sagged
gently over on his side, and then
stretched out his length, quiet and
motionless. The man whose hands
were in the air watched this convul-
sive movement with intent interest,
but Jim's gaze never wavered from
them. He had no pity for the others.

scheme to get easy money. Inquiry
reveals the fact that the same letter
has been received by other tide
