In some of the rabbit drives re-
Gently held in this section, several
white rabbits have been captured.
These are known as the "snow shoe"
rabbits, and it is reported hat a
tribe of these animals has been COM
ing down from the Sawtooth foot
hills during the past winter. AS an
exchange remarks. these rabbits are
altogether different from those that
infest this section, in that they are
at this season of the a nearly a
pure white and are enabled to get
over the soft snow with greater ease
than the other kind because of the
peculiar kangaroo use of the hind
legs, using nearly one-half Of the

but he did not turn his head. A mo-
ment later the Indian was beside him,
thrusting the baby into his arms.
You ketchum baby. me ketchum
dog" he said very soberly. Almost
before he knew 1t Wescott was hold
ing the baby and the Indian was gone
with rope on Charmer's collar. En-
barrassed and amused, he stood there
thinking the squaw would come inn
mediately and get the child. Several
persons passing by glanced at him in
surprise; some smiled. Among the
latter was Mamie Ross brother.
wescott was furious. He turned
back toward the bank. The Indian
with his squaw and son and Charmer
had vanished. What should he do?
Thank fortune the baby still slept.
What IL il should wake? Did Indian
babies cry? He must get off the
street. He could not take the baby to
the hotel. He darted down an alley
to the forest office. The gibes of

were exclamations and general
pushing back OF chairs.
For heavens sake. take 1t. some

grew louder.
Not on your life" said rosy-cheek-
ed Forest Assistant Glover, as Wes-
colt held out the baby toward him.
Where did you get it?' chimed
I the men in chorus.
Take it, yelled Wescott, but the
men edged away from him. The in
fant's cries grew lustier. Wescott in
despair swung the basket up and
| down.
Terrified screams rent the air. The
door of the inner office swung open.
What's the racket" asked Super
visor Williams, stepping out pen in
hand What in thunder is that?"
pausing in astonishment.
TITS a-a--a baby" stammered

leaning against a table for support.

A RANGER WHO ALMOST LOST HIS DOG
Story That Lbs.

Naturally. under the oircum-
stances. Ranger Wescott. was in ex-
Sceilent humor when, his lean frame
erect and an Australian collie at his
heels, he strode up Front street and
into the postoffice. He was feeling
fresh and fit for love or war, and for
his readiness there was a tiiple rea-
son. First. he had had a shave and
"a beefsteak. unaccustomed luxuries
for forest ranger In the summer
time. Next, his supervisor had heart
lily commended him for his efficient
handling OF an ugly fire in the ex-
treme south end OF the Natapoc forest.
And last. adding an altogether dis
proportionate weight to his happiness,
was the shy yet kindly greeting with
which Mamie Ross had met him that
very morning.
He left his left hand rest on the
collie's head, as with the other he un-
locked the forest service box. He felt
the grateful rubbing OF the silver and
black head against the olive drab
trousers OF his new uniform. Then
becoming absorbed in the contents OF
letter he leaned against the sta
tionery counter and forgot about the
DOG. When he had finished reading
and had put the letter back in the
envelope he glanced about him.
II was the forenoon hour when
there were few passing in and out.
With the exception of the postmaster,
the young girl behind the counter and
a heavy-set Indian over by the win
dow. he was the only one in the room.
The Indian was looking earnestly at
the dog. but feeling Westcotts eyes
upon him he turned toward him grin
ring.
''Hello!" said the ranger cheerfully
What's your manner"
big Ben" answered the Indian,
grinning the more. Dog, where you
ketchum?"
"oh. I bought her of a sheepman
Very fine dog. aren't you charmer?'
and he patted the collie affectlonately
while she whined and jumped upon
him joyfully.
Ugh, skookum dog" grunted the
Indian. How much you pay?"
"Oh. n lot OF money" answered
Wescott with laugh. Big Ben took
beaded buckskin bag from his bell
and coming forward spread its con
tents upon the counter.
Lots OF chIkamun" he said In
gratiatingly. You ketchum me dog.
NO" said wescott. "You haven
got enough chikamun to buy Charm
err"
How much you want7" From hi
loose red shirt he brought out an
other bag fringed and embroidered II
many -colored silks. The contents o
this too he poured upon the coun
ter.

But Big Ben was not satisfied.
clumsily gathering up his money he
counted 1t out and placed it Az before
In the two bags. and after hiding
them away In his clothes followed the
ranger.
How much you want?" he kept
asking. ME got lots OF chikamun.
Me pay lots por skookum dog. You
ketchum me-"
AS they turned the corner by the
bank. the Indian talking in wheed-
ling tones. Wescott almost stumbled
over n squaw sitting upon the bank
steps. She was young and comely.
Beside her sat a small boy sucking
greedily at an orange, sticky streaks
daubing his face; and suspended over

squaw's grasp frightened upon the
hangings Of the papoose basket, but
she looked fixedly across the street
as IL she had not heard. The In
dian regarded the baby with new in
terest and spoke again harshly to the
woman. Without looking at him she
replied at length, her voice rising
high and falling suddenly with a bro.
ken sound in the cadence. Her hus-
band looked at her roubtfully. Then
turning to Wescott he said:
MY kloochman, ma ma, nalo sellum
baby. You ketchum me dog, me
ketchum you chikamun."

won't trade the dog for anything but
the baby; and calling Charmer he
walked away. rather proud OF his skill
in settling the matter.
There was a commotion behind him

busy day. but why not rest a bit and
hear the story? Wescott told II gra-
phically. Mingled with the weeping |
OF the baby rose the thunderous lau-
ghter of the men.
But what am / going to do with !
it?" implored wescott. Cant you
make 1t stop, Mr. Williams" hold
ing the baby out to the supervisor.
But Williams backed into his office.
Take off some of those bandages'
he suggested. TITS strangling to
death"
1T will fall to pieces If you do"
warned Glover.
We'll, I've got something else to
do than stand here and hold baby
for the rest Of my natural life" COM
planned Wescott irritably.
II should say you had" rejoined
Williams 81 must have your report
in time for the afternoon mail"
There were steps outside. Wescott
hurriedly thrust the baby into the
storeroom and shut the door just as
an excited and disheveled squaw flung
herself into the office and rushed on
Wescott, nearly throwing him.
"Cultus Boston man. me wantum
baby Me ely por baby. You ketch-
um me baby" and she shook him Wig
orously. Wescott flung open the
storeroom door.
Take your confounded baby" he
roared "and get out of here" The
squaw fell upon her baby. Quickly
she adjusted the papOose basket. The
wailing ceased abruptly. In the door
way she turned.
You no ketchum dog" she asked.
"You bet, I'll ketchum dog" he
answered her. and seizing his hat he
| followed her out.
In a vacant lot down by the river
! he found the Indian with Charmer
still on the rope. The collie whined
and pulled at her collar in an effort
to get to her master.
Il have come for my dog" he an
nounced to the Indian. Your squaw
has got the baby back"
You no ketchum dog" answered
the Indian.
What demanded Wescott in
dignantly. she is my dog. You
have your baby, / take my dog"
You trade, now my dog"
But" explained Wescott, 'the trade
is off; you take the baby, take the
dog"
My cultus gloochman, she wantum
baby. Me trade. Now my dog"
"You old fraud" exclaimed Wes-
colt, and taking out his pocket-knife
he stepped toward the rope. The In.
dian rose in a fury.
You cultus Boston man, you trade
now you lie" and he brandished g
knife at Wescott. "You no ketchun
dog, me kill you"
Wescott hesitated. Charmer cooked
her wise head on one side, and then
with a last desperate tug. slipped he
collar, and made full speed across tn,
lot and up the street toward the OF
flee. The Indian with an expression
less countenance replaced his knife.
"Cultus Boston man! Cultus BostoI
dog. No good. Cultus kloochman'
and raising his heavy foot he kicket
the squaw hard in the side But she
grooming over the baby, took tim
only to screw up her nose and sticl
out her tongue at her master, afte
= which she gave Wescott knowing
smile and went on with her lullaby

THE "PENDLETCN"
Draft Equalizer, or
Hitch
(Akers Patent)


The chief advantage that we claim for this
equalizer is it's simplicity in construction, hav-
ing fewer working parts than any other equal
izer on the market Another very important
feature is the absolute safety Gas will be seen
in cut 81, thus eliminating the danger OF in
juring animals by getting entangled as is n
common occurrence with all other equalizers
on the market. This feature makes it possible
to place the sections fourteen inches closer to-
gether, or nearly the length OF one team on
, thirty-two horse hitch thereby getting each
series or animals nearer the load, and will
Tighten the draft in proportion. This principle
is used in constructing equalzers for any num-
Der of horses, strung out from two To eight
abreast, and is constructed of the best OF seas
oned hickory which guarantees good service
