HOLD BAD MEN.

Scotland, Aug. 1S.-By the placing
in jail Of two transients giving their
names as Jim Woods and Frank Ryan
the Bon Homme county authorities
believe they have the ring leaders of
a gang of bandits which recently APP
pears to have been operating along
the Yankton-Scotland-M itchell-Aber
deem line of the Milwaukee railway in
South Dakota for the purpose of car
rying on the systematic robbery of
harvest hands who make their way on
freight trains TO the harvest fields of
the state. After a preliminary hear
ing lasting two days, the two de-
PENDANTS were held for trial at the
next term of Bon Homme county cir
cult court. Wood is charged with
shooting and wounded Steven Novot-
ny, a harvest hand, and Ryan is ac-
cused of having robbed ID. r. Dodge,
another harvest hand, of SIS in cash.
The two bandits attacked a number
of harvest hands near Scotland, and
when Novotny resisted he was shot
in the leg. So far as known the rob-
bers secured SIS from another of the
harvest hands i'm addition to the SIS
taken from Dodge. The money could
not be found upon the prisoners. The
revolver with which the shooting was
done was found concealed near a

en- money also has been cached.

The police do not allege that Jones
is in any ann connected with the
alleged crime.
"A few nights ago." said Jones,
" 'Kokomo Jimmie told me that a
man said my wife had picked his
pockets of SIS. Rather than have any
argument about it / gave him the
money. / know my wife wouldn't do
such a thing, and If she did she would
tell me about il. She didn't say a
word to me-"
Jones added that las soon as he
learned the reputation of the place at
which he was stopping he decided to

ed the whole should be stirred, so that
the new and the old shall be well
mixed.
Again, the ripening ought to be done
in Il room where no bad smells or any
smells from food that is cooking can
reach the cream. Nor ought the cream
to be kept where it will be too warm.
That will tend to make the butter
come soft, and it will not be just as
good color as it would otherwise be.
Then, too not too much should be
churned at one time. The facts about
which separates the particles Of but
ter from the cream. If we use re-
volving churn-.and this is the best
where we have any amount of cream
to churn-nOt too much cream should
be put in at once. A moments thought
will show why. Since it is one blow
after another which pounds the cream
out, there must be room enough for
the cream to fall as far as possible in
the churn with every revolution. 1t is
this striking on an unyielding surface
that churns the butter.
Right along in this line it is good
plan to remember that we do not gain
anything by churning too fast. You
see why it is so too. If we whirl the
churn. 50 that there is no conclusion,
or practically none, the particles Of
butter will not be knocked out of the
cream as fast as if we took the time
to let the contents of the churn fall
from end to end every time we give
the crank revolution. Here is one
place where we make haste slowly.
Washing in good, clean, cool water,
gathering up the particles of butter
with a strainer so that nothing shall
be lost, properly working-these are
all essentials, and we need to study
them and be thoroughly in earnest in
every single thing we do, or we will
not save all of the valuable elements
of our cream, and it is these for which
we are working

said Jimmy casually, as he shook
hands and said good-by.
1t was that that made Will think
he had really changed. How could he
associate those elusive memories
which he had almost forgotten with
this life that had taken possession Of
him?
He thought of Norma Gale, the
daughter of the old homesteader
down the valley. How was he to tell
her? The girl, educated and refined
as were-all the people of the district,
was utterly unpresentable in the sort

ness than most men, even western men,
and. though he had not yet witnessed
a display of her skill with a rifle, he
was ready to believe that she could
shoot as well as her sire. Neverthe-
less he liked her better when engaged
in purely feminine duties. and he led
the talk back to subjects concerning
which her speech was less blunt and
manlike.
He liked her when she was Joking,
for delicious little curves of laughter
played about her lips. She became very
amusing as she told of her '"visits
east and of her embarrassments in
the homes of city friends. 81 just

up. There's a patch of blue sky.
Let's go see if we can't get a grouse"
Together they strolled along the edge
of the willows. "The grouse come
down to feed about this time" she
said. We'll put'up a covey soon"
Within quarter of mile they found
their birds, and she killed four with
five shots. This is all we need" she
said, "and l don't believe in killing for
the sake of killing. Rangers should set
good examples in way of game preser-
walton. They are deputy game war
dens in most. states. and good ones
too"
The night rose formidably from the
valley while they ate their supper,
but Berrie remained tranquil. "Those
horses probably went clean back to the
ranch. If they did, daddy can't pos
sibly get back before s o'clock, and he
may not get back till tomorrow"
Norcross, with his city training, was
acutely conscious Of the delicacy of
the situation. In his sisters circle a
girl left alone in this way with man
would have been very seriously en-
barrassed, but it was evident that Ber-
