CHAPTER I.

TOUR cowboys inclined their
LII bodies over the barbed-wire
nj fence which marked the di-
NJ vtding line between the Cen
f\M tipede Ranch and their own,
j IN staring mournfully into a
- summer night such as only
&x the far southwestern coun-
S..S try knows. And as the four
inclined their bodies, they
inclined also their ears, after the
strained manner of listeners who
feel anguish at what they hear. A
voice, shrill and human, pierced the
night like needle. then, with a
wall of TORTURED soul, died away
amid discordant raspings: the voice
Of a phonograph. It was their own,
or had been until one overconfdent
day, when the Flying Heart Ranch
had staked it as a wager in foot
race with the neighboring Cent?
pede, and their own man had been too
slow. AS it had been their pride, 1t
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 its 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 it reached again its first thin,
earsplitting pitch.
"Still Bill" Slower stirred uneasily
In the darkness.
"Why'n'ell don't they keep her
wound up?" he complained. Gala
gher's got the soul of a 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:
T wonder If he does 1t to spite me?"
HE don't know you're here" said
Slower.
The other came out Of the gloom,
a little stoop-shouldered man with
spectacles.
'1 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
night. It looks Nike an insult"
'It's nothing but his ignorance"
Slower replied. "He don't want no
trouble with you. None of 'em do"
I'D like to know for certain" The
small man seemed torn by doubt. "If
only knew he done it a-purpose, I'd
git him. I bet I could do it from
here"
Stover's voice was gruff as he COM
manded:
Forget it! Amt 1t bad enough for
ns fellers to hang around like this
svery night without advertising our
ldiocy 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
say Hump Joe run that foot-race on
the squaref"

PROTECT THE FORESTS

In every Southern State the for.
ests. next to the soil itself, are the
Southb greatest natural resources.
And in not single Southern State
are there any adequate laws for for
est protection. Every year the South
Is losing literally millions OF dollars
because Of forest fires, reckless cu..
ting, destruction Of, young forest
growth, and deforestation OF land
that should be allowed to remain in
timber. The supreme folly Of con-
tfnuing such state of affairs must
be apparent to any thinking man:
but no action Is taken to remedy it..
Nor Will any be taken until the farm
ers OF the South realize that this
loss falls upon them with particular
weight and until they demand that
their legislators have the business
sense to provide for State protection
and. II need be. State oversight Of
the forests.
We are wasting one Of our rich
est heritages with recklessness and
2 simple-mindedness almost unbe-
lieveable of grown-up men. Isn't It
about time for us to begin to think
seriously about the matter! The
Progressive Farmer.

are so sharp that additional mag
nifying power may be applied in
examining them.
Natural history, biology and
geology all gain something from
this new method of investigation.
Hitherto 1t has been necessary in
examining the interior of many
organisms under the microscope
to destroy them by cutting them
into slices thin enough to be PEN
etrated by ordinary light.
In this way it is impossible to
see them just as they are in ma
ture. Important parts are de-
stroyed in the process of dissec-
ton, and the true relations of one
part to another are often lost.
Nothing of this kind occurs

when the objects are radiophoto-

and growth of the organism is

The Wonders OF X=Ray Photography
Photographs Now Reveal the Hidden Organs Of Creatures Whose
Entire Bodies Are as Minute as Pnheads.

THE great value of radiogra-
ply, or X-ray photography,
consists in the fact that it
enables us to see the inside of
things. II virtually realizes the
old paradox of seeing through a
stone wall" There is, perhaps,
no achievement of man that
smacks more of magic than this.
We can look at our own bones
and hearts and lungs and watch
our blood coursing through the
veins and arteries of the living
body.
l have recently described the
improvements by means of which
instantaneous photographs are
now made Of the internal organs
and motion pictures are produced
which show them in action as IL
the bodies of men had suddenly
become transparent. But there is
another thing, hardly less surpris-
ing to be added. Photography Is
now being applied to microscopic
objects.
Nj Pierre CODY. of Grasse, in
France, has invented an apparat-
us by which magnified x-ray
photographs of the interior OF
minute objects, and Of the inter-
nal microscopic parts of larger
objects, can be obtained AS NJ.
