DOUBLES THE NUMBER OF EGGS.

To be successful with poultry re-
quires great deal more careful atten-
ton than many are apt to think. The
house should be large and warm. The
fowls should have plenty of exercise;
but, more than that. the fowls should
be given as food what their nature de-
mands and what, if allowed free range,
they could procure for themselves.
Pages Perfected Poultry Food" con-
tains these ingredients in carefully
compounded ration. A. A. Omsted of
South Newbury, VT, has the following
to say in regard to this food: I'VE have
been for some time using your Per
fected Poultry Food with such good re-
suits that we thought it a proper thing
to tell you. 1t keeps our hens we'll and
in good laying condition and, we think,
doubles the number Of eggs Being in
good condition, lice do not trouble"

this food and the best ways of using 1t,

CHAPTER V.

VIRGINIA TAKES ANOTHER MOTOR RIDE.
ZEE VIRGINlA'S efforts to refine
the little hotel produced an
amazing change in Eliza Weth-
49, erford's affairs. The dining
room swarmed with those seeking
food, and as the news Of the girls
beauty went out upon the range the
cowboys sought excuse to ride in and
get square meal and a glimpse of the
queen" whose hand had witched the
old shack" into marvel of cleanliness.
Generally they failed Of so much as a
glance at her. for she kept away from
the dining room at mealtime.
Lee Virginia was fully aware of this
Of the light which shone in the eyes
of some of them (men like Gregg.
She had begun to understand, too, that
her mothers reputation was barrier
between the better class of folk and
herself. But as they came now and
again TO take a meal they permitted
themselves word in her praise.
which she resented. Il don't want
their friendship now" she declared
bitterly.
AS she gained courage to look about
her she began to be interested in some
Of her boarders.
So far as the younger men were con-
cerned, she saw little to admire and
much to hate. They were crude and
uninteresting rowdies for the most
part. She was put upon her defense by
| their glances. and she came to dread
walking along the street. so open and
coarse were their words of praise.
Few Of these loafers had the courage
| to stand on their feet and court her
favor, but there was one who speedily
became her chief prosecutor. This was
Neill Ballard celebrated (and made
inpudent by two years travel with a
wild west show. He was tall. lean.
angular and freckled, but his horse
manship was marvellous and his skill
with the rope magical.
He had lost his engagement by rea-
son of drunken brawl. and he was
now living with his sister, the wife of
small rancher near by. Virginia de-
spised the other men, but she feared
this one, and quite justly.
The Greggs. father and son, were
in open rivalry for Lee also, but in diff
ferent ways. The older man, who had
already been married several times,
was disposed to buy her hand in what
he called honorable wedlock," but the
son, at heart libertine, approached
her as one who despised the west and
who, being kept in the beastly coun

amuse himself at any ones expense
He had no purpose in life but to feed

loyal daughter Of the west, had de-
Tended it. but in the coarse phrase of
this lean rancheress was pictured a
land of border warfare as ruthless as
that which marked the Scotland of
Rob Roy.
Commonplace as the little town look

scene of many a desperate encounter.
as the girl herself could testify, for
she had seen more than one man killed
therein.
Then her mind came back to her
mothers ailment. Eliza Wetherford
had never been one to complain. and
her groans meant reaf suffering.
Her mind resolved upon one thing.
"She must see a DOCTOR" she decided.
And with this in mind she re-entered
the cafe. where Lie was in violent al
tercation with a waitress.

With a parting volley Of vitupera,

is nothing Of her discernible In the
girl. Virginia is lady. don't know
where she got it. but she's gentle
woman by nature"
1t was hot and still In town, but no
sooner was the car in motion than
both heat and dust were forgotten.
Redfield's machine was not large, and.
as he was content to go at moderate
speed, conversation was possible.
He was of that sunny. optimistic,
ever youthful nature which finds de-
light In human companionship under
any conditions whatsoever. He accept
ed this girl for what she seemed-a
fresh. unspoiled child. He saw moth
Ing cheap or commonplace in her and
was not disposed to impose any of her
fathers Wild doingS upon her calen-
dar. He had his misgivings as to her
future. That was the main reason why
he had said to Mrs. Hedfpld. The girl

said sustained"
Ii was inevitable that the girl should
