Jess Kilrain stood behind her fathers

of the dining room as he sat smoking
his after-dinner pipe before he should
ride out on the business of the after
noon. From the kitchen beyond came
the clatter of dishes where Agnes Kill

managed to make that clatter express
a chorus of rebuke.
Kilrain turned, smiling.

The girl came forward, seating her
self on the broad arm of the chair.

Wind Watches by Motor.

While the winding of ones watch
would seem to call for only a small
amount of energy, it assumes a signifi-
Fan aspect when multiplied several
hundred times, as in the instance of a
watch-repairing oncer in New York
city, part of whose work it is to wind
roo or more watches each day. To IA
cilitate the work the firm uses an cleo
tric motor, which drives a small, felt
lined socket through friction drive. 1t
Is only necessary to start the motor
and hold the stem of the watch against
the feltlined socket to wind the time
piece. When the watch is wound the
frightened spring overcomes the pres
sure between the motor pulley and the
friction disk, with the result that slip
page takes place. Simple as this cleo
trio matchmaking equipment is, it has
replaced several men formerly re.

CHAPTER ".
WHEN FRIENDS FALL OUT.

Of the events of hat night Buck
Brannon said nothing to any one, and
indeed to tighten the tension that now
existed between Earle Worthing and
Cardross. There had beer a meeting
between these two, sought of intent by
Worthing. though somewhat against
he grain, and prompted by the plead
ing Of his mother in the interest OF
their old friendship.
Give him one more chance, Earle"
Mrs. Worthing had urged. Then, II
he persists, FL say no more. Truly, the
devil seems to have entered into Blass
Cardross." !.
So Worthing had taken horse and
ridden over to the Raccoon river range
and there before the house, working
among the flowers on the big beds, he
found Nance Cardross. h drew off
her gloves and. as he approached after
! hitching his horse, went w to

Worthing controlled himself admir-
ably.
rs our old friendship nothing to you,
Blass?" he asked quietly. Would it
not be well for each of US to remem-
Der it before it is too late?"
Cardross laughed.
Why talk rubbish?" he demanded
o.rtly. If you bid fair to be the loser
in the little war you inaugurated, why
squeal about it. Worthing?"
For a moment Worthing said nothing.
There was no plea in his voice when
he finally spoke.
And that is your answer, then! I
had hardly expected it to be otherwise,
though 1 had hoped" His head lifted
suddenly. Every dollar you spend.

any gallon Of water 1 need, you will

An instant he hesitated.
That's all, l guess" he then said.

horse.
He did not ride homeward at once,
but in the contrary direction; and so
1t was that some little time later, re-
turning toward the Loop, he struck the
more direct trail that led trough the
dividing woods Of the two ranches and
SO on to his own corrals and barns.
And so 1t was, too, that in the heart
OF those woods where they dipped down
into the tangled ravine that formed
the actual boundary line between the
Loop and the Raccoon river ranges.
Worthing halted at the sound of a
woman's voice raised in tense and pas
sionate pleading.
Let me speak of it, Blass!" cried
Jess Kilrain entreatingly. Let me
tell my father. Why does you try to
hide your love for me, an make me
guard it like it was a sameful thing:
I'm feared it will come to make me
hate 1t, Blass. I'm feared of that"
Worthirg caught the sound Of Card
ross soft laugh.
Don't you see, Jess he murmured
and in the silence the words came
clearly, that now it is all our very
own-just you and me, with the whole
world shut out? Why do you want tc
let every one into our secret?'
Il hate that secret!" Jess cried, hel
low voice vehement. Its made me
do what [ lever done in all my life
afore-lie. I've lied about what
ought to be proud to have the Who'll,
world know. Why do you make m,
do that, Blass? Tell me why!"
Worthing rode on. 1t was not 70,
him to hear more. but in that instan
the last remnant of his old time friend
ship for Blass Cardross died in hi
heart.

ming reappears. This style, which has

One way this trimming has reap
peared is as a bandeau of silk, covered
by roses, closely placed and encir-

trimming is seen in the new poke like
hats, which are turned up at the back
and made to tip over the nose a bit
