Lieber, accompanied by two herders,
came early for his stock. He greeted
Kemp warmly. Going my way?" he
asked.
81 ben loafin' around here with that
in mind" drawled Kemp. "I'n take a
hand if you'll allow me mount"
you can take your pick" said Lie
Der, "that is, after Mr.. Lansing has
had his"
The three of them walked into the
pasture. Lieber looked at the stock
with kindling eyes. He turned to Ger
ry and held out his hand. Shake" he
said, and Gerry did. What do you
say to the first FIVE of the horses out
and the last ten of the cattle for your
shareY
Gerry flushed. That's more than
fair" he said. you know the best
of the horses will lead the bunch and
the fattest of the cattle will lag be-
hind. You see, they're all strong
now"
That's just it," said Lieber.
Kemp had gone off to round up his
mule. He came up from the river
driving it before him. At every jump
he caught the mule a flick with his
rope and the mule kicked and sQuealed
but came on with long, stiff-legged
strides. "Hi'yiw yelled Kemp and
snatched off his hat to beat his mount
while he kept the rope-end flickering
over the mule.
Gerry and Lieber laughed. Kemp
was like a mummy come to sudden
life. do you know whatW said Ger,

lock and old BOnifaciO hurried to help

as they came out. Kemp suddenly
sobered down to business. When Lie.
Der had thrown back the last ten OF
the cattle, Kemp came out and closed
the gap behind him.

horses" said Lieber.
you go and take yo' men with you, I"
said Kemp. Il could drive this fat
bunch from here to Kansas with nary
a hand to spell me-"
Gerry had expected a surprise of
some sort when at last he arrived at
Lieber's but the things he saw there,
stranger than anything he could have
imagined, left him calm and unmOved
as though some prescience had pre-
pared him. The house was built on the
usual solid lines of plantation head
quarters. Great, rough-hewn beams;
towering rafters, built to carry the
heavy tiles and to bear their burden
for generations; unceiled, vast rooms
with calcimined walls; all these were
not outside Gerry's experience in the
new land. The strangeness came with
the rugs and the linen, the etchings
and the furniture, and last and most
significant the shelves and shelves OF
books and the tables piled with maya
zines in three languages. Everything
bore the stamp Of quality, everything
had the distinction of q choice.
Gerry did not let his curiosity carry
him beyond rapid glance around the
great living-room where they found
Lieber, bathed and freshly dressed,
experimenting the making Of ice in
the latest ingenious contrivance for
the pampering of the pioneer. "Ice
water in the desert" thought Gerry
and the phrase seemed to him more
than words-it seemed to paint Lie
ber dimly, but as the mind saw him.

mouth and almost smiled. Never did

Gerry shook his head. Kemp drew
well-wOrn wallet from the capaciOus
inner pocket of his vest and took out
ragged clipping. One could read in
the glaring moonlight and Gerry

Then he read them through again.

they die mavericks. An say, good

his cigarette end and stood leaning
with crooked elbow and knee against
veranda pillar. His keen aquiline
features and deep-set eyes were lit up
by the moonlight and seemed scarcely
to belong to his great, lOose-jointed
frame. He was loose-jointed but like
a lail-strong and tough. There's
one thing about the purple eltles," he
added, "the daylight always beats you
to 'em jest like In the POM" He
turned and went off to bed.
Gerry sat on In the moonlight seized
by strange sadness-the sadness the
spirit feels under the troubled hover
ing of the unattainable and the mi
rage. Life had queer turns. Why
should cowboy start out to look for
purple cities? 1t was grotesque on the

CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE
Rejecting Apparatus at Victoria Is
Said to Be the Largest Yet
Constructed.

A seventy-three inch rejecting tele-
scope, which ranks in size as the
largest telescope of that type yet COM
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada. The instrument is
described in Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which in this type Of telescope
takes the place Of lens in cOncentrat-
ing the rays Of light, measures 70
inches in diameter over all, Is II inches
thick at the edges, and Is pierced by
hole ten and One-eighth inches In Oh
ameter. The silvered upper surface is
a parabola to bring the reflected light
to focus, 30 feet above the mirror.
This enormous piece Of glass weighs
two and One-quarter tons and yet Is SO
accurately supported that no flexure
can distort the surface, which must
nowhere deviate from the theoretical
curve more than 2O0-1 900 Of an inch.
The instrument weighs IS tons and
will rest on massive piers Of re-en-
forced concrete. The tube Is 81 feet
long and weighs IL tons. OF unusual
interest from an engineering point OF
view are the dome and observing
bridge. The former is SO feet in d.
ameter and Is provided with double
shutter having an opening Is feet wide.
All the movements, including revolu-
ton to any desired position as well as
the operation of the shutter, wind
shield and the observing bridge, are
accomplished by means of electric mo-
tors.

WARSH|PS CONVOY
8 BRITISH LINERS
FLOTILLA BRITISH MERCHANT
MEN, DELAYED, LEAVES NEW :
YORK FOR LIVERPOOL.
NEUTRALITY BOARD ACTS
Presence of U-Boats Near the Amert-
can Coast Declared Obnoxious.
U. s. Has Right TO Consider
Them AZ a Nuisance.

New York.-Headed by the $4,000
ton White Star liner Adriatic, with q
$4,000 cargo and 336 passengers, q
Hotilla Of nine British merchantmen
with munitions of war slipped out to
sea ON the night of Oct IL. The YES
sells had been at anchor within the
three-mile limit off Sandy Hook.
AS soon as darkness shut out the
shore line the propellers of the Adri-
attic commenced to turn, and she crept
away on her voyage to Liverpool, the
richest prize on the seven seas today.
A squadron of British cruisers sum-
moned by wireless from the West In
dies, Bermuda, the Bahamas and Hall
fax by Admiral Montague Browning
met her. They will act as an escort
for the big liner and the eight freight
ers that followed in her wake through
the danger zone in which Admiral
Browning thinks the U-53 and her
companions may still be waiting.
When the Adriatic passed the Mar
rows the Cunard steamer Panonia.
which has been waiting since Sunday
with her cargo of explosives in Graves
end Bay, left her anchorage and fol-
lowed astern of the big liner.
Later in the afternoon the British
steamers East Gate, Upton, Toftwood
and Strathstey, all under charter to
the French Line and loaded to capac-
ity with war munitions, left their an
chorages and joined the Adriatic and
Panonia off the Hook. The last two
of the fiotilla, the freighter Ardgor-
reck and the Atlantic transport steam
er Minnehaha, with 1,400 tons of NUM-
tons on board, passed through the
Narrows.
The reasons for the movement Of SO
many munition carriers at one time
are said to be the availability at this
time of the cruiser squadron as an es-
cort and the superstition that so many
shippers have about sailing on Friday.
The United States battleship Ne.
vada and several torpedo boat destroy
ers were sighted off the coast, and
their presence was attributed to the
known arrival of the British and
French cruisers, and the determine.
ton of President Wilson that there
shall be no violation of American neu.
trality.
