When the New
Cook Game
Little Crescent Ranch Got
a Great Surprise.
By 7 H KINGSLEY

The four partners of the Little Cres-
cent ranch reached home one evening
after a long day on the ranges. They
were hungry, hot and very weary, and
as they neared the modest building
where they slept and ate visions of hot
biscuits, fried potatoes, ham and eggs
and Wah Lees delicious coffee as
sailed them.
But the long table was bare and cold;
the kitchen fire was out and there was
no sign of Wah Lee. A hasty search
of his small room dlvulged the I'M
pleasant fact that the little Chinaman
had packed his boxes and departed
from the Little Crescent forever.
Dirk Budlong turned upon his three
companions.
81 expect it was that UNDERGONE egg
I hove at the Chink,' he admitted
sheepishly.
"Of course it did the business"
growled Bobby Fenway.
"And | asked him If he made the cot
fee out of mud" confessed Barclay.
"What's the matter with Wah Lees
c~offee?" fared Dickinson from the
stove, where he was coaxing some
sticks into a blaze. I'D like to have a
cup of 1t now"
"Same here" groaned the others in
chorus.
"The next man that throws provi-
sions at the cook gets fired out of the
place. We can get along without part
ners better than we can without a
good cook" went on Dickinson as he
filled the teakettle and set 1t over the
fire. I'm going to get my w supper,
and you fellows can do the same, II
you can"
"What are we going to doY' asked
Barclay as they sat on the doorstep
after superior the scrappy meal that
passed as such.
"I1l ride over to Mustard Crossing
and wire an order to that employment
agency In Big City. | suppose it will
be another Chink," said Budlong.
"Wish we could get hold Of a good
old fashioned aunty kind of a woman"
unused Barclay. The kind that can
bake Boston beans and brown bread
and Goldfish cakes and dried apple pie
and pumpkin
"Shut up! You make me plumb crazy
after eating these half cooked po-
tatoes," interrupted Dickinson.
"Ill ask them to send auzgood old
fashioned warrdfr TcsgeSecpef, what
say" asked Budlong.
They were unanimous In asserting
to this proposition, and presently Dirk
was riding toward the little settlement
of Mustard Crossing. 1t was late in
the evening then, and they could not
expect an answer until the next day.
The next evening Dirk returned from
Mustard Crossing, jubilant owe the an
swer he had received from the en-
ployment agency in Big City.
"Listen, fellows" he cried as they
gathered around him. Dirk Budlong,

The Elusive Atom.

president, that 1--WE are on the brink Of

the girl, her blue eyes on his with ap-
pealing s~oftness, came slowly toward
him with outstretched hands.
"Len-oh, Len" she quavered, "for-
give melt was SO lonely without you
and-I didn't know-until it vas too
Late tt Salu yyef JacH:"
For those two the oom was empty
save for themselves. Lens arms went
around the girl and after one hasty
glance the three superduous men tip
toed out into the yard.
Presently Dickinson came to the
door, his arm still around the girl.
They had never seen his grave face
relaxed in such supreme joy as now
clothed 1t.
"Come in, you heroes, and eat your
supper before it gets cold. Let me In
troduce you to my f~iancee, Miss Amy
Delain-and you can congratulate me
1T the same time"
And it was while they were crowding
around the happy pair that a team
drove noisily into the yard, a trunk
was dumped on the ground and the
wagon clattered noisily out just as the
door opened and a large, fat, black
woman appeared. Beneath the pink
roses of her gay hat her black eyes
glistened as she viewed the laden table.
"Good evening, gents" she said
throatily. "I's Miss Angelica Pieffer-
and, gosh, I'm mighty glad supper's
ready-Ps plumb hungry I could eat
yo' all up. Yas'm, yo' car call me
Angel TO- short"
AS she waddled forward to receive
Dickinson's greeting and Miss Delain's
soft words of welcome Bobby Fenway
sat down at table and helped himself
to a generous portion.
"Oh, you Angel P~iefaceg he gloomed
as he looked enviously at Dickinson's
lovely sweetheart.

Dickinson earnestly. "Here and now,

Paloues Republic. Bert Howell
comes to the Republic with a story
about machine stationed at the side
of the public road between town and
his place, at the Idaho state line.
Mr.. Howell said the machine was
different from anything he had seen,
and for few days he was inclined to
climb the fence and go around it. 1t
is reported that more thorough in
vestigation has shown the machine to
be an X-ray placed at the state line
by the Idaho authorities for the pur-
pose of detecting lawbreakers. 1t is
said that the machine works auto
matically, and if man gets across
the Idaho line with whiskey in his
possession, the machine gets inside
information and registers it. Under
the possessary clause in Idaho's new
dry law, the owner of liquor on the
breath is evidence of guilt, an it is
presumed that the evidence of the
X-ray machine is unquestionable.
Clearwater county will no doubt
receive visit from this machine, as
Sheriff Sullivan and Attorney Smith
are both up-to-date officials.

"A blow which merely fractures the

ness, such as that from sharp instru-

not nearly so serious a condition, from
the point of view of future possibili-
ties, as that following the blow of a

Doctor Murphy went on to cite sew
eral cases, one of man who had been

for three weeks. He had no further
symptoms for about three years. when
he began having commissions. Another
was that of young man who had

had been a precocious boy at school

Doctor Murphy believes that such
blows cause an injury to that coating
of the brain which is called the dura.
The brain itself is uninjured. Then
something arises-worry or extra hard
work or something of that sort
which brings on irritation where the
dura was injured. The precise cause
is uncertain.
Some of these cases can be cured
by an operation in which the skull is
opened and the dura at the place of in
