Affairs at the Flying Heart Ranch
were not all to Jack Chapin's liking
Ever since that memorable foot-race,
more than month before, a gloom
had brooded over the place which
even the presence of two Smith Col
iege girls, not to mention that of Mr..
Fresno, was unable to dissipate The
cowboys moped about like melancholy
shades, and neglected their work to
discuss the disgrace that had fallen
upon them. 1t was a task to get any
of them out in the morning, several
had quit. the rest were quarreling
among themselves, and the bunk
house had already been the scene OF
more than one encounter, altogether
too sanguinary to have originated
from such a trivial cause as a foot
race.
The master of the ranch sought his
sister Jean, to tell her frankly what
was on his mind
"See here, Sis" he began, Il don't
want to cast a cloud over your little
house-party, but I think you'd better
keep your friends away from my
men,"
why, what is the matter?" she de-
manded.
Things are at pretty high ten

two or three rows among themselves.

"Humph!" Jack was unimpressed.
"If you rored him for Helen Blake to

We'll, you see, Berkeley and Helen

this affair had something to do with

Miss Blake shouldn't care for Speed
