IT fence which marked the d.
m viding line between the Cen
49, tipede Ranch and their own,
j .~A staring mournfully into a
I4 summer night such as only
80 the far southwestern coun-
A@-S try knows. And as the four
inclined their bodies. they
inclined also their ears, after the
'tstrained manner of listeners who
feel anguish at what they hear. A
voice, shrili and human, pierced the
night like a needle, then, with a
wall of a tortured SOUL died away
amid discordant raspings: the voice
OF a photograph. 1t was their own,
Or had been until one over-cOnfident
day, when the Flying Heart Ranch
had staked it as a wager in a foot
race with the neighboring Cent?
pede, and their own man had been too
slow. AS it had been their pride, it
remained their disgrace. Dearly had
they loved, and dearly lost it, 1t
meant something that looked like
honor, and though there were ten
thousand thousand monographs, In all
the world there was not one that could
take it's place.
The sound ceased, there was an ap-
proving distant murmur of mems
voices, and then the song began:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Lift up your voice and sing"
Higher and higher the voice mount
ed until 1t reached again It's first thin,
ear-spIitting pitch.
"Stil Bill" Slower stirred uneasily
In the darkness.
"Why'nell don't they keep hen
wound up?" he complained. Gala
ghers got the soul of wart-hog. It's
criminal the way he massacres that
hymn"
From a rod farther down the wire
fence Willie answered him. in a boys
falsetto:
"TIe don't know you're here" said
Slower.
The other came out of the gloom,
little stoop-shouldered man with
spectacles.
II amt noways sure" he piped,
peering up at his lanky foreman
why do you reckon he allus let's
Mrs. Melby peter out on my favorite
record? He done the same thing last
ulght. 1t looks like an insult"
Its nothing but his ignorance"
Slower replied. "He don't want no
trouble with you. None of EN- do"
I'D like to know for certain" The
small man seemed torn by doubt. eff
only knew he done it a-purpose, I'd
git him. I bet l could do It from
Aere."
Stover's voice was gruff as he com
handed:
"Forget it! Amt it bad enough for
Us fellers to hang around like this
avery night without advertising our
sdiocy by a gun-play?"
They amt got no right to that
phonograph," Willie averred darkly.
'Oh yes. they have; they won 1t

Fair and square,! Do you mean to

According to this rumor, an arrange

instead of bidding against each other,
that every contract is apportioned out

told what the successful bid is to be

even though absolutely true, would not

that certain persons are keeping tab

A PREMATURE REQUEST

,-A HE Lebanon Criterion suggests
that "in time to come it will be
well to remember that the re-
publican party opposed the free
trade tariff bill emphatically, and
with practically its whole strength. "
This may be probably is true but still
to do so might prove embarrassing to
the party. Suppose, for instance, that
this "free trade" Underwood tariff
bill, instead of bringing on the long
chain Of calamities including even free
soup, which the Criterion seems to think
will happen, that the reverse should
prove true. Suppose times should be
good, better than they have been, that
the cost of living should be reduced,
that the consumer should be allowed
to enjoy the products Of loom and fac.
tory without having to pay tax to
some protected industry. We say sup.
pose these things should happen for
time alone can tell what the outcome is
going to be, and no one is wise enough
to say just what the result will be. If
they did happen that way, would it
not be Wcharitable and unkind to be
digging into the past, remembering the
republicans were solid against it, and
twitting them about the facti Let us
wait until we get results, before we
call on the public to remember just how
any of us stood on the tariff, and other
things besides.
