The causes OF the somewhat
dull times that have been exper-
fenced during many months
past seem to lie nation wide, and
can, to a great extent be blamed
on the uncertainty Of the politi-
cal situation as regards the
tariff and the manner in which
the trusts may be dealt with.
The powers that are able to
make Or unmake general pros
perity seem to be quiescent,
waiting to see what is going to
be done to correct the wrongs OF
our financial and industrial sys-
TENS, and the other faults OF
our nation OF which students OF
economic problems complain
and about which there is SO
much agitation. Great changes
are pending and the people who
are in the line Of progress are
gradually Fastening the day.

Then both sail in as fast as you can. I'll take Bristoe and you two Bar x" men along with me, and when we turn loose with our shooting irons you can all reckon the fight is on. Any of you got questions to ask?"
 No one said anything, the silence ac- cented by the desert wind bowling mournfully in the branches of nearby cottonwood.
 "All right. then, boys, don't get ex cited and go off half cooked; be easy on your trigger fingers. Come along, you fellows who are travelling with me-"
 The four crossed the stream, wading to their waists in the water, their horses left punched on the south bank, and finally crawled out into a bunch of mesquite. As they crept along through the darkness, whatever doubts Keith might have previously felt re- garding the presence on the island of the party sought were dissipated by the unmistakabl noise made by numer- ous horses in the corral. Slowly, test ing each step as they advanced, so no sound should betray them, the four men reached the shelter of the stock ade. The older. of the Bar K men lifted himself by his hands, and peered cautiously over.
 Flight hosses in thar" he an nounced soberly; then turned to Keith. Say, Jack, what do you figure this shebang to be, anyhow? You don't reckon it's old Sanchez's outfit, do yer?"
 Likely as not, Joe, though 1 never saw him around here"
 Joe filled his cheek with tobacco, staring about through the darkness.
 Well, if that or cuss is yere now we'uns Is sure in fer fight" he com nented positively
