branded as a territory, l knew her in
them days"
Il don't know her, or of her" said
the sheriff.
"Ye missed a heap" sighed the old
man, reminiscently "She was Kate
Connolly then; tn fetchin'est bit O.
woman gear in tn whole West. She
sent her boy out here t. round up
health an muscle, an she don't know
he's been runnin' wild"
GO on" encouraged the sheriff,
now studying his visitor with new in
terest. Yer reason fer chippin' in?"
"Wa-al," confessed Mr. Peace, sheep
ishly, q reckon l thought a heap O.
Kate Connolly" And he lowered his
eyes so completely as to render his
position hazardous had the man across
the table been less curious. She
seemed t take t me, too he contin-
ued proudly
AN then?' prompted the sheriff
AN then her pa took her ter Iowy,
an she grew t fergit me an married
a dude what prob bly, wore galluses.
An I turned maverick an amt been
nobody's darlin' since. But I'm here t
give her son suthin' more of a square
deal than she ever give me. He looks
like his ma, ye know"
III be dam'd!" calculated the sher-
if.
Eye will be if We don't keep them
fins clustered in front O ye," growled
Mr.. Peace, resenting the others sur
prise
But such a cantankerous old whelp
as Jem Peace ever bein' in love" re-
monstrated the sheriff, hardly needing
the warming. THAT gifts me"
"Be We game, or not?" barked Mr..
Peace angrily, and tapping the table
with his gun.
81 be- cried the sheriff, warmly
AN it speaks well fer ye, Jem, t.
have these soft feelin's. III be hanged
if ye amt almost human. Come right
back t. tn younker's room, an in ye
go, an out he comes. Ye kin trust
me t. keep my word, l reckon"
81 never asked or give much credit"
demurred Mr. Peace Besides, there's
a leetle more t. tn game. TIL next
pint is this: on tn nine o'clock stage
termorrer, Kate Connolly arrives {
visit her son an t. take him back
home with her Her dude husband is
dead an she's lonely. She's writ him
/ several letters which he didn't git
as he was hidin' up, until twenty-four
hours ago, when he rode inter Sears
vile. Ye nabbed him there a hour
arter ne showed me tn last letter,
what said she'll be here termorrer.
He'd "a jumped a train an cut her
I out from tn Crick, only it was too
late"
AN ye're wantin', Mister Peace?"
'I want him free from sunup ter
morrer, t meet his ma an spend tn
| day with her | want her t. find him a
highly respected citizen. What's more,
she must find me highly respected
citizen. He'll take her away on tn
/ AFTERNOON stage; then We kin have my
gun"
The sheriff gazed long and earnestly
/ at the blue circle across the table and
then stared intently into the old mans
narrowed eyes. At last he suddenly
decided I'm game I'll do it,"
Mr.. Peace slipped his weapon into
the holster under his arm and rose
and said "I.emme see tn vounlrar
alone fer a minute, t. explain things
T. him. Then if yen kindly have yer

while he was twisting his bearded face
into a mighty yawn his gaze famed
fire at hearing a staccato voice advise:
Il kind o. like ye that way. Keep
'em up
The sheriff was standing, back to
the speaker, and at the first word he
stiffened Beyond this sudden rigid
ity his square form evidenced nothing
to show he was aware of any intru-
sion; nor did he turn for several sec
onds, and then very deliberately. His
steady eyes beheld an old man, white
bearded and with shoulders that
stopped. What focused the sheriff's
attention, however, was a limp,
scrawny hand, holding a blue-steel
Colts, whose menacing muzzle never
wavered hairs breadth
"Jem Peace, eh?" murmured the
Sheriff, the veins on his tanned fore
head standing out like whipcords as
he endeavored to eradicate any sem
blance OF interest from his voice; but
he could not quench his eyes, which
blazed in the thin, weak light of the
one kerosene lamp.
"Ya-as," admitted Mr.. Peace, slowly
advancing. Then, sharply, Turn
round. Easy! Stand still" And his
left hand deity encircled the others
waist and removed the belt and it's
sagging holster. Now, if yen conde-
scend t take a chair at this leetle
table We kin lower yer hands, while
we gossip a bit, jest like OIL neighbors.
Tut! tut! Keep EN- on tn table. An
mebbe ye'd better kind O. clasp EN-.
That's better"
WAL, Jem; what's tn game?" in
CURED the sheriff gently, his eyes
never leaving the dark barrel of the
ihirty-eight now resting at a slight
slant on the table.

Gus posters round tn settlement that
I'm wanted" began Mr.. Peace.
Five hundred dead or alive, no
particular difference which; an we
a-hankerin' fer ye," confirmed the
sheriff. "But what's tn game? Me?"
81 hope not" sighed Mr.. Peace. 81

and that they had at various times
advised their patients to drink only
boiled or distilled water. An
alysis of As samples of water from
the Twin Falls supply, made by the
state bacteriologist in the state board
of health laboratory between June S,
1913, and October 6, 1914, show a
wide range of results as to contamina-
tion and the extent of such contain
ina ion, especially during the hot
summer months, eXcites surprise that
there was no general epidemic of dis
ease during that period, and we feel
that such a condition is liable to recur
as long as it is necessary to throw
unfiltered water into the city supply.
The commission believes that
these conditions should be remedied
at the earliest possible moment, and
it does not want to be in the position
of the man who locked the stable af-
ter the horse was stolen"
Fire Protection Inadequate.
The commission was inclined to
/, think there had not been sufficient
pressure for fire protection at all
times and that there is danger that
the supply of water for the city from
the present source may be cut off al
any time, since the company appar-
emily has no title to the water it is
using, but seems to be using the sup
ply that is properly appurtenant to
the lands within the city limits AS
to the contention that the company
had damaged the paving of the city
streets, the commission held that the
evidence did not entirely support it

Another step in the merging Of

been appointed by the federal court

hafer held the hearing on the appli-
cation at Twin Falls, Ida. 1t COM
menced on February 5. 1t found that
there were four questions to be de-
cided, as follows:
SIS the present water supply pure
and wholesome? Is the pressure at
all times sufficient to afford the city
ample protection in case of fire? Is
there possibility or probability that
the present supply may be cut off by
the closing of the irrigating canal
during the winter months? Has the
city just cause for complaint on &C
count of the alleged damage to its
paving?
Menace to Health.
The first question was the one most
seriously considered by the commits
sion. On that point the commissions
opinion said in part: 1T was also
shown that dead animals were some
times allowed to float in said canal
above the intake of the company's wa
ter system. Animal matter, consist
| ing of bugs, parts of fish, mouse
and several small birds, was found in
the taps and sprinkling wagons. Sew
eral witnesses testified to the bad odoI
of the water, especially when heated
Two bottles of small fish taken from
the sprays on the courthouse lawn
were introduced in evidence. Several
doctors of the city testified as to the
effect on the health of the community
: of the kind of water furnished the
city by the company, and all agreed
that it was more or less of menace
