CHAPTER XVII

There was a world Of Mexfcans In
the plaza when Hooker rode down
through the town. Never, 1t seemed to
him, had he seen 50 many or liked
them less.
To the handful Of Americans who
remained to man the mill and mine,
they were easily q hundred to one;
and though their eyes were wide with
fear of the imminent rebels, they had
an evil way of staring at him which
he did not relish.
Even at the hotel, where the Span
ish-Mexican ar1stocracy was massed
ten deep, he sensed the same feeling
of yelled hostility and wondered vague

Lancey, for making love to girl. was

could hear from Phil.

Much obliged" nodded Bud, and
rode on through the town. The street
OF the Mexican quarter was filed
with strange people hurrying to and
fro; long packtrains loaded with
trunks and curious bundles came
swinging up from below; and pair of
rurales, looking fierce under their
huge sombreros stood guard by the
Quartet door.

"Ah. good morning. senor,' he said,

join the rurales?"
"Ah. senor," shrugged Del Rey. was

He offered with flourish q sealed

short note.

had speeches and cheers galore and

THE BADNESS OF Ida

= y y IS
BY Paul Strong
Copyright by w. G.. Chapman.)
There are many kinds of women"
said the old frontfersman. Some of
them are good, some very good, and
a few-only a few-are bad. A wom-
an who's bad seems to me somehow
a perversion of what nature intended.
And that's not sentiment, but obser-
vation."
He was one of the men of the last
frontier-the great expanse of terri
tory that stretches northward be-
tween Edmonton and Alaska. There,
over thousands of square miles, roam
the Indian and the caribou. 1t will
never be settled, that virgin land that
nature has marked for her own. Its
vastness, as much as it's cold, defes
the puny efforts of man.
''Her name was Ida, my bad wom-
an" resumed the frontiersman. 81
make mention of her, because, as l
was saying, or meant to say, there's
the same cure for badness in women
that there is for badness in men. And
that's love. Again, observation, not
sentiment.
''Lida was a ha1f-breed- In
dian, half French. She came from
some settlement along the Slave. She
was 10, no more, when l made her
acquaintance in Edmonton Jail, of
which I was warden. That was in
the old days. Edmonton was from
tier camp then, and that's not so long
ago, neither. The Jail was log one.
Ida had been rounded up by one of
the police. She was serving a year
for stabbing man.
Nineteen, said, but she had had
years of wild life behind her. Now
put a pin in those words. In one
sense, in a customary sense, Ida was

cost - you couldn't try anything

day, but she admitted that Ida ter
rorized the Jail, and, as you can't
fog a woman, she had the run of the
place. She did what she wanted to

when she would be set free. And we

She was the widest, most rufianly
if I can use such a word-piece of
a girl in the northwest. And at last
she got year. 1t would do her good,
the judge thought. He wanted her
taught while she was in jail. Taught?
She flung the spelling book at the
lady missionary's head and called her

out of the place with her hands be-

Plant Leaves.

1t is fact that, to the casual OBJ
server. all trees look pretty much the
same. in some respects at least. But
if one looks carefully ut the twigs OF
almost any tree, or. still better. at the
young shoots of some rapidly growing
plant, they are pretty certain to discov-
err that no two leaves occupy the same
position.
The fact is, however, that leaf does
not keep always in one position. Ev-
erybody knows that they will droop
and stand erect again, and that some
plants sleep at certain dimes of the day.
A house plant, moreover, grows toward
the light, and if the pots are turned
about so that the leaves face away
from the window, it takes only q day
or so for them to assume their old po-
sitiOnS.
If now one looks carefully for the

Ears should be of medium size, not
too long nor too short. If they are
too long they are likely to mature
late; if they are too short, they will
mature too early and will not produce
as large a quantity of corn. Ears
which are too large around are late
maturing and are likely to have too
much cob; while ears which are too
slender will not yield a large amount
of corn.
Now we know what sort of an ear
is best for seed, but why should we
select it so early and why gather it
from the field? This is so We may
select as seed, corn which natures
early. In short seasons, when the
frosts come late in the spring or early
in the fall, a late maturing corn will
not ripen for seed. We should have
corn which we are sure will ripen be-
fore the frosts. You understand, OF
course, that if frost touches the corn
before it ripens, the germ may be de-
stroyed and this corn will not grow.
When it is late enough so that all
the corn is ripened, We cannot tell
which ears ripened early; so we will
go into the field early and gather our
corn, selecting that which is already
matured.
Then we must know the type or
stalk on which the ear grew.
Study bulletins and articles on Sc
lecting seed corn and let the schools
lead the county in this movement
vital to the country's corn crop next
year.
The Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of The international Harvester
Company issues a special school bull
letin on selecting seed corn from the
field which is sent for the asking.
