trieved when the locals came to
bat in the sixth. The delightful
uncertainty of the game, however.
operated to fool all of us. Wells
started by poking out fly to
right which was muffed. Lee
drew free passage to first and
then Brad was presented with SINH
lar credentials, reviving the old
situations of the loaded bases and
a hit needed to start things going.
At this critical juncture our blond
left fielder shouldered his war club
and nonchalantly made his way to
the plate. After looking over
couple he saw one coming which
looked good to him and laid the
old wood against it and sped the
pellet on its way somewhere to
center, while the runners joyfulIy
frisked home. 1t was Adds third
solid double and put the locals out
in front one tally to the good.
East famed. Gil fouled out to
Berger. Bran beat out roller to
third and stole second but Add
was nipped at the plate on the
play. Three runs.
One more run was added to the
locals string in the seventh. Har
out, Stone to Anderson. Lohr
singled. Wells singled. Lee did
likewise and Lohr scored. Brad
struck out. Add walked. East
famed. One run.
1t was then nearing five O'Clock
and darkness was fast descending.
It was, in fact, a very hard matter
for the players to see the ball until
it arrived within foot or two, so
the game was brought to a halt.
The locals went through the
game without manager and news
to the effect that Manager Ruther-
ford lay dangerously i'll of pneu-
monia in St. Paul hospital
brought expressions of sincere re-
gret from players and fans alike.
Through The MIRROR, then, we
gladly forward to the popular
manager the unanimous message
of good cheer and hope for
speedy recovery and return to
! duty.

.lNITH THE sun went the
MA warmth of the day. AL
BE most in a breath the
- Ih I


N@&SNBEH most in breath the
tQ9HSg Canon Larfo became a
chill, unfathomable abyss, brim-
med with dusk through which a
wayering white streak was the riv-
er rim-powdery alkali dappled
with the tracks of many sheep.
AS West, looking for a trail to
the water, reined his pony toward
the edge of the cannon, he caught
a glimpse of fame. The tiny red
tongue lifted. curled and spread to
palpitating glow. Vests pony
nickered. Slackening rein, the
rider allowed the horse to pick his
own way along the brim of the
canon. Presently the horse stop
ped, shifted and, carefully easing
his weight, turned and made his
way down a steep and sandy trail
to the river bottom.
Through the night came the
restless rumble of sheep bedding
down. The horse drank, splashed
across the stream and plodded
slowly toward the fire. Barking
shrilly, dog challenged his ap-
proach. West called, and voice
told him to ride up and eat.
The invitation appealed to West,
for he had eaten nothing since
morning. In the binding glow of
the fire he dismounted, dropped
the cinches and unbridled the
horse, which turned and walked
away.
The sheepman spoke to the
Mexican cook, who rose and put
the Dutch oven on the fire again.
You're West, I take it," said
the sheepman.
Yes"
"Bailey's my name-from the
GilIinas.'
Heard of you. How'd you
know me?"
''The horse. Heard you never
hobbled him-just turned him loose
and that be- d stick round camp.
Want to sell him9"
West laughed. You wouldn't t
begin with that if you meant to
buy. No. I'll keep Concho for a
while yet, anyway"
''How's the grass down belowa"
asked the sheepman.
Good, and plenty of it.
Here, take my place." said
Bailey, motioning toward sheep
skin beside the fire. Going on
upg"
''As far as Coyote"
Bailey, about to say something,
hesitated. 1t was not regarded as
wise to express an unguarded
opinion of Coyote or its inhabi-
tants. 1t was the acme of wisdom
to say nothing. Bailey surmised
that Vests mission at Coyote was
not particularly pleasant one,
for when the visitor had taken of
his chaps he folded them care
fully, 80 that the revolver in the
pocket should not gather moisture
from the ground.
When West had eaten the tor
tillss and frijoles, he sat and chat
ted with Bailey. The dogs, two
sheep dogs and a huge mongrel,
came and sat beside the fire; they
pricked up their ears when Bailey
asked question and relapsed into
Indifference when West answered.
Presently the sheepman asked
West for his revolver.
Mines empty" he explained.
Used all my forty-fives plugging
at coyotes" i"
West rose and, returning to the
FIRE, proffered his revolver. She's
filed fine and pulls easy" he said
The sheepman called the ,mon
grel to him. The animal, deceived
by the apparent friendliness in the
mans tone, leaped up and paved
at his chest.
