A School for Stockmen

| After its recognition as a great
mining region, Montana came tc
be known as stockmen's para
disc. No region possesses better
all this year ranges. Growing COM
petition for land is making it nee
essary to improve the quality of
live stock and market earlier than
formerly.
A convention and school of
stockmen has been called at Boze-
man for the last week in January
to study the live stock problems
of Montana. At this meeting
stockmen from all over the State
will assemble to consider live
stock matters, and listen to ad-
dresses by such men as Dean
Robert Shaw of Michigan, PROBES
sor Cochel of Kansas, and others
including those best qualified in
Montana.
( A special SC DOL for horse
breeders with demonstrations in
horse anatomy will be one of the
features, a more detailed announce
ment of which will appear later.
The causes and remedies for ster-
llity in both mares and stations
will be explained by those who
have made a special study of the
subject.
Professor C. N. Arnett, the re-
Gently appointed head of the De-
partment of Animal Husbandry
in the State College at Bozeman
will be in charge.

Valuable Advice

Remember, my son, you have
to work. Whether you handle a
pick or pen, a wheelbarrow or
set of books, dig bitches or edit a
newspaper, ring an auction bell or
write funny things, you must
work. If you will look around
you will see the men who are the
most able to live the rest of their
days without work are the men
who work the hardest. Don't be
afraid of killing yourself with over
work. 1t is beyond your power
to do that on the sunny side of
thirty. They die sometimes but
it is because they quit work at
six p. m. and don I get home be-
fore 2 a. m. It's the intervals
that kills, my son. The work gives
you an appetite'for your meals, it
lends solidity to your slumbers; it
gives you perfect and grateful
appreciation of a holiday. There
are young men who do not work,
but the world is not proud of
them. II does not know their
names even;,it simply speaks of
them as old so and Sos boys.
Nobody likes them; the great busy
world does not know that they
are there. So find out what you
want to be and do, and take off
your coat and make a dust in the
world. The buster you are the
less harm you will be apt to get
into, the sweeter will be your
slumber, the brighter and happier
your holidays, and the more
satisfied the world will be with

was the little tube of radium!

it would have done its work in few
minutes. You might not feel it for
some time, but you would have been
blinded at least in a few days, if not
hours"
Both Elaine and Aunt Josephine
were overcome as they thought of
the peril from which Elaine had been
so narrowly rescued. Even Kennedy
could not restrain shudder. For
the moment he forgot even about
Inez. Then, suddenly, he recollected.
"Oh, by the way" he exclaimed,

just as we were about to start and
were moving toward the door, the
gypsy, breathless and tagged, reached
the hallway of the apartment. She
was about to go in when she heard
Inez and myself going out. She
dropped back into the convenient shell
ter which Kennedy had used before,
and when we came out we did not
see anyone in the hall. AS we dis
appeared, she emerged and cautiously
followed us.
In spite of my fears Inez went with
out a scene to the laboratory. We
entered, |, at least, not knowing that
a pair of black eyes watched every
movement. The fake gypsy saw us
go in, then hastily came out of door

hurried downtown
1t was not long after arrived, how
ever. that Kennedy and Elaine Joined
me at the laboratory. Kennedy had
evidently carefully prepared just what
he intended to do. Quickly he forced
Inez into the chair which he had al

straps about her arms.

A moment later he followed carry

fastened it to the concealed wires that
connected with the arms of the chair,
describing to us in whisper the &C

which by blood pressure read not only
the disease of the heart, but even the
secret emotions.
He had purposely left the door be-

but he did not intend that Inez should
hear this explanation.

The fake gypsy was looking eagerly
about the room. apparently for a
means of escape. Just then Jennings
hurried in.
Jennings" cried Aunt Josephine,
"seize that woman!"
AS Jennings approached her, the
gypsy suddenly developed remark
able strength. She gave him shove
that sent him Keeling. His foot caught
on the edge of the fountain and he
staggered a minute, unable to recover
his balance, then, with a great splash,
fell in. The gypsy turned and, fled
through the palms, Elaine and Aunt
Josephine following her.
She ran as far as she could, coming
up to the glass wall that formed
the inner end of the conservatory.
Further retreat was impossible. She
seized little rustic chair and
dashed it through the glass. Cautious
ly, she managed to make her way
through the opening she had broken.
Jennings had, by this time, picked
himself out of the fountain and, drip
ping, Joined Elaine and Aunt jose
phine in the chase. Out in the garden
at last, the gypsy dropped down be-
hind thick bush.
At that moment cab pulled up
furiously before the house, and Ken
nedy leaped cut and rushed in. The
gypsy had gained just time enough.
If she had gone on Kennedy might
have seen her.
The others were, apparently, look
ing for her in every direction except
the right one. She saw her chance.
Stealthily she managed to slip out of
the garden by the back way.
AS Kennedy dashed down the hall
and into the library he met Elaine's
maid, Marie, as pale as a ghost.
For heavens sake, Marie" he
painted, where are they all?"

Kennedy came upon Elaine, Aunt
Josephine and Jennings still vainly
searching about, just as they lost
track of the gypsy.
Where did she go-that way?'
asked Jennings.
Hang the gypsy, interrupted
Craig. Let her go-you missed her
anyway. But, Elaine-tell me-what
happened?'
Aunt Josephine reached down and
picked up the handkerchief she mad
torn from Elaine's eyes. "She bound
it over her eyes," she explained to
Craig.

1t was only few minutes after he
had been warned by the gypsy that
WI himself glided into the hall lead
ing to the main room of the labora-
tory. He listened a moment, then,
hearing nothing, was about to open
the door with his skeleton key. AS
he started to do so, his eyes fell on
the fire escape outside.
He reconsidered. Perhaps it would
be best to reconnoiter. Snakelike he
wormed his way up the fire escape
which led to the back room. There,
as we grouped ourself about the
sphygmograph while Kennedy ex-
planned his plans, Wu's sinister face
gazed in at us for moment, then
