Good Indian sought a sage

tied his horse to it, and touched
Peppajee on the shoulder.
"All right" he murmured
close to his ear, I'VE go see."
Without a word, Peppajee turn

She was busy then until the
train came screeching down upon
the station. When the train grum-

left man standing there, trout

in his hand. a box which looked
suspiciously like a case of some
bottled joy at his feet and loose

"Howdy, Miss Georgie?" he
called unctuously through the
open door.
Miss George barely glanced at
him.
How do you do, Mr.. Baum

and very, very gently pushed the
door shut just as he had made
up his mind to enter.
Baumberger = Johannes was
the name he answered to when
any of his family called-was
what he himself called a true
sport.
Good Indian and Jack, sitting
side by side upon the porch of
the store, he passed with a care
less nod. Saunders, CHANGING up
from the absorbing last chapter
of THE Broken-hearted Bride
also returned it alphabetically.
Pete Hamilton, however, got a
flabby handshake, and the an
! nouncement that he was down
from Shoshone for a good, gamy
tussle with that four-pounder he
had lost last time.
Better take a day off and go
with me, Pete" he suggested.

He went out upon the porch,
laid a hand upon Jacks shoulder,
and beamed down upon him while
he announced that he was going
TO beg supper and bed at the
ranch.
Some time later he appeared,
in the same jovial mood, at the
Hart ranch, and found there the
welcome which he had counted
upon--the welcome which all men
received there upon demand.

over the bluff of Snake river, he

REALIZING CHECKS
 A BULISH MARKET
Sharp Early Advance in Res pOnse to Relatively Firm Ca bles, Followed by Equally Sharp Reaction.

New York, Nov. 3.-A sharp early advance was followed by an equally sharp reaction in the cotton market today, with January contracts selling off from 19.09c to 18.86c and closing at 1S.S7c. The general list closed steady, at a net gain of 1 to points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of s to 16 points in response to relatively firm cables. Houses with Liverpool connections were good buy CTS, while there was further covering by recent sellers and a renewal of bull support. Following some early irreg- ularity this demand sent prices up- ward and the buying appeared to be stimulated to some extent by rumorS that a prominent Southern authority estimated ginning to November 1 at only S,572,000 bales. This figure seemed too small to be altogether credited around the ring, however, and after showing a net advance of about 25 to 2S points, the market turned easier. Realizing was very heavy around 19.21c for March and l9.36c for May, which represented ad- vances of about $4 per bale from the low level of last Monday. Some of the local spot people were also re- ported to be selling and late in the afternoon there was very heavy sell ing here for western account. The break carried March contracts off to 1S.9Sc and May to 19.14c, and the close was within a point or two of the lowest.
 Cotton closed steady.

Bracey Haney played a fine game at end, completing a for ward pass and doing good broken field r,nning. Sickle also completed two forward passes and played fine game Duke and Cummins of the line, Dlayed good defensive game, often breaking through the Nashville line and tackling the man with the ball for loss.
 Prescott scored in the first quarter. Prescott received, Duke catching the kickoff and returning the ball 10 wards. Wilson then circled left end for fifteen yard gain and crossed the Nashville line a moment later on a fake around the same end.
 During the second quarter Prescott put another touchdown over, only to lose it because of offside penalty.
 Prescott kicked off to begin the second half. Nashville tried to ad- vance the ball by line bucks but failed and Prescott was given the ball on Nashville's thirty-fve yard line.
 Two pretty end runs by Wilson netted forty yards and Stewart took q forward pass and went over for Prescott's second touchdown. Wilson kicked goal.
 bulHiS Nht ldNL IudIltEt IItSCOll played on the defensive. Twice Nash vile crossed Prescott's ten yard line, but the line frightened up at critical times and the visitors lacked the punch. The game ended with Nash vile in possession of the ball on Pres cott's twenty yard line.
 Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Marble and his boys for their showing. Wilson was the particularly bright star but he was ably assisted Oy Stewart, Bush, Haney and Graham. The Nashville boys are fine bunch and played one of the cleanest games seen here this year. Prescott plays at Nashville on the 17th of this month.
