The young missionary was frowning
thoughtfully. II think it was the
other way about. Her brother has been
drinking again, and took it for grant
ed that she and Smith were looking
for him."
Brouillard buttoned his coat and
pulled his soft hat over his eyes.
I'm going to look for her." he said.
"Will you come along"
Cashier nodded, and together they
put their shoulders to the crowd. Again
and again the engineer and his COM
panion had to intervene by word and
blow to protect the helpless in the
half-drunken, gibe-fiinging crush, and
in these sallies Cashier bore his part
like man, expostulating first and hit
ting out afterward in fashion that
left no doubt in the mind Of his antag-
onist of the moment.
1T was little less than d crime to
turn your laborers loose on the town
on such an occasion as this" said Cast
ner, dealing out his words as frankly
and openly as he did his blows.
Brouillard shrugged.

when the railroad was an assured fact

ers wouldn't take his ore, giving some
technical reason which he knew to be
a mere excuse"
Mr.. Cartwright nodded. $50 far you

I'm consequence, David Massingale
finds himself in fair way to become
broken man by the simplest Of com.
mercial processes. The bank holds his
notes, which will presently have to be
paid. II he can't pay, the bank comes
back on you as his indorser, and you
fall back on your mortgage and take
the mine. Isn't that about the size of

1T is exactly the size Of 1t. do
want the Little Susan and I've got a
good friend or two in the Red Butte
shelters who will help me get It,"
Brouillard's black eyes were snap

when he said: Thank you, That
brings us down to the mention Of the
Coronida grant and Stephen Massin-
gales threat-which your son cant re-
member"
''Right-o," said Mr.. Cartwright, still
with predetermined geniality. What
was the threat?"
81 don't know, but the guessing list
is open to everybody. There was once
a grant of many square miles of noun
tain and desert somewhere in this re-
gion made to one Don Estacio de Mon
tarriba Coronida. Like those Of most
of the great Spanish land grants, the
boundaries of this one were loosely
described and"
Mr.. Cartwright held up a fat hand.
II know what you're going to say.
But we went into all that at Washing
ton before we ever invested single
dollar in this valley. AS you may or
may not know, the reclamation serv-
ice bureau tried to choke US off. But
when 1t came down to brass tacks,
they lacked witness. We may be in
the bed vi your proposed lake, but
we're safely on Coronida land"
so you say" said Brouillard quietly,
land on the strength of that you have
been guaranteeing titles. Just there
is where Massingale comes in, imag-
inc. He has spent twenty years or
more in this region, and he knows
every landmark in it. What If he

The management of the Information
al Wheat Show, which will be held in
Wichita October 2 to Ia, have secured
Miss Ruth Law, the famous girl avia-
tor, to give free flights during the
Exposition. We take this time to COM
ment on the choice of their selection,
not because they have secured a girl
flyer, which in itself is a unique idea,
but because they have secured per-
son who is not in the aviation bust
ness simply for the plaudits of the
audience, but one who attempts to
teach lesson to the American peo-
pie every time she makes flight.
Eastern newspapers have given con-
siderable space to the hair-raising
flights of Miss Law; they have termed
her the "girl patriot Of the United
States" She acquired this title be-
cause in every flight she attempts to
bring home to the citizens of this
country the urgent need Of better
national defense.
In her flights Miss Law interprets
the role Of a foreign invader making
q raid on a city in wartime. BY the
use Of artificial bombs she demon.
strates how easily and how success.
fully an aviator could deal out death
in punches, and crumble 10 the grounC
the largest buildings in the city.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1916-09-07

In her day and night flights in
Wichita during the International
Wheat Show, Miss Law will theoret-
ically blow up the Forum, Postoffice,
City Hall, Court House, and several
ten story buildings.
The little girl, she's only 81 years
old. will perform her most difficult
flights in the evenings. In an illum-'
mated aeroplane she sails thousands
Of feet above Wichita, and with fire.
works attached to all parts OF her ma
chine, she will loop the loop, fly up
side down, drop in a vertical line
straight to the ground and when al
most ready to dash the nose of her
machine into the earth will right her
wings and sail gracefully away.
Miss Law has been giving flights
in the east for the last few months.
She demonstrated to the residents OF
Washington, D. c., how easy 1t would
be to blow that city to smithereens
before preparations could be made to
defend It.
II any Of our readers are contem-
plating going to Wichita during the
Fall Fair we urge that they do not fall
to see the girl wizard Of the air make
her flights. This sight alone will
prove well worth their trip to the ex-
position.

Has some farmer in this section
Of the state raised the best bushel Of
wheat in the Southwest? II he has
he will be amply repaid for doing so,
besides bringing considerable distinc-
ton to himself and to this county.
The management Of the Interna-
tional Wheat Show which will be held
In Wichita October to IA is offering
q prize Of $135 to the Oklahoma or
Kansas farmer who brings in the best
bushel OF hard red winter wheat. But
that is not all he will receive for his
wheat. The Wichita Board Of Trade
Is offering substantial prize to go
with the one gwen by the wheat show.
And the millers Of Wichita will pur-
chase the wheat to display at their
mills after the show is over. So, all
In all the person who produces the best
bushel will receive sufficient reim-
bursement fol his trouble.
We would like to see the farmers in
this neighborhood get busy and enter
the contest at Wichita. 1t means a
whole lot to county to be able to
say that the best wheat in the South
west was grown on its fertile soil, and
there's no reason why this county
can't have that distinction. II there
are any farmers who desire to enter
the contest and bring home the "ba-
con" they can secure premium list

hair was thinning reluctantly.

danger, 1t is time to get action. What
was the quarrel about, between him
and Van Bruce?"
1T occurs to me- that your son would
be better source of information"
said Brouillard, evading.
Van Bruce has told me all he re-
members-which isn't much, owing to
his own beastly condition at the time.
He says young Massingale was threat
ening something-something in con-
nection with the Coronida grant-and
that he got the insane idea into his
head that the only way to stop the
threat was by killing Massingale."
The sandy-gray eyes of the million

spoke, but Brouillard fixed and held

Massingale threaten your son, Mr..

And make my world what l would have it be.
For 1 am weary, having labored so.

Therefore leave the rounding of my plan
