proud OF PaIoma and wen content with
his serfdom.
Jonesville proved to be a typical
Texas town of the modern variety, and
altogether different to the pictured
frontier village. All in all, the effect
was much like that of a prosperous
orderly northern farming town. To its
happy founder it seemed well-nigh per-
feet, and it's destiny reused his mad
dest enthusiasm. He pointed out the
Odd Fellows hall, the Palace Picture
theater, with is glaring orange lights
and discordant electric piano; he con-
Quoted Law to the First National
bank, of which Blaze was a proud but
somewhat ornamental director; then
to the sugar mill, the ice plant and
other points of equally novel interest.
Everywhere he went Jones was
hailed by friends, for everybody
seemed to know him and to want to
shake his hand.
"Some town and some body of men,
eh?' he inquired, finally, and Dave
agreed:
Eyes. She's got a grand framework,
Blaze. She'll be most as big as Fort
Worth>when you fatten her up
Jones waved his buggy whip in q
wide circle that took in the miles Of
level prairie on all sides. "We've got
the whole blamed state to grow in.
And, Dave, I haven't got an enemy in
the place! 1t wasn't many years ago
that certain people allowed I'd never
live to raise this town. Why, it used
to be that nobody dared ride with
me-except Paloma, and she used to
sleep with a shotgun at her bedside"

amusement from his fabricatiOns that
he himself enjoyed. Paloma's spirit
of contradiction was the only fly in
his ointment; now that his daughter
was old enough to keep books" on
him, much of the story-tellers joy was
denied him.
OF course his proclivities occasion
ally led to misapprehensions; chance
acquaintances who recognized him as
an artful romancer were liable to con-
slider him generally untruthful. But
even in this miscOnception Blaze took
a quiet delight, secure in the knowl-
edge that all who knew him well re-
garded him as rock of integrity. AS
a matter of fact, his genuine exploits
were quite as sensational as those of
his manufacture.
When, after supper, Blaze had
hitched pair of driving mules to his
blackboard, preparatory to showing his
guest the glories of Jonesville, Dave
said:
'Paloma's getting mighty pretty"
"She's as pretty as a blue-bOnnet
flower" he father agreed. Sand she
runs me around something scandaleus.
1 amt got the freedom of a peon."
Blaze sighed and shook his shaggy
head. "You know me, Dave; I never
used to be scared of nobody. Well, it's
different now. She rides me with a
Spanish bit, and my soul amt my
own" With sudden tightening of his
gloom, he added: "Say, you're going to
stay right here with us as long as
you're in town; want you to see how
/ cringe."
In spite of Blaze's plaintive tone it
was patent that he was inordinately

Dave had long since learned that to
hold Blaze Jones to a strict account
ability with fact was to rob his So
Ciety of its greatest charm. A slavish
accuracy in figures, an arid lack of
imagination reduces conversation to
the insipidness of fiat wine, and
Blaze's talk was never dull. He was a
keen, shrewd, practical man, but some
where in his being there was con-
cealed a tremendous, lopsided sense
of humOr which took the form of a
bewildering imagery. An attentive au-
dience was enough for him, and, once
his fancy was in full swing, there was
no limit to his outrageous exaggera-
tions. A light of credulity in a hear
er's eye filed him with prodigious
mirth, and it is doubtful if his listen
ers ever derived fraction of the

inquired curlOuSIy.
II don't know. He is a friend Of
Tad Lewis, and there are strange sto-
ries afoat.
Just what these stories were, how
ever, Ricardo would not say, feeling,
perhaps that he had already said too
much. The three men spent that eve
ming together, and in the morning
Blaze rode home, leaving the Ranger
behind for the time being as Guzman's
guest.
Dave put in the next two days riding
the pastures, familiarizing himself
with the country, and talking with the
few men he met. About all he discOv-
cred, however, was the fact that the
Guzman range not only adjoined some
of Lewis leased land, but also was
bounded for several miles by the Las
Palmas fence.
1t was pleasant to spend the days
among the shy b1 ush-cattle, with Bes-
sic Belle for company. The mare
seemed to enjoy the excursions as
much as her owner. Her eyes and ears
were ever alert; she tossed her head
and snOrted when a deer broke cover
or q jackrabbit scuttled out of her
path; she showed a friendly interest
in the awkward calves which stood
and eyed her with such amazement
and then galloped stiffiy off with tells
high arched. Law had many times un-
dertaken to break Bessie Belle of that
habit of flinging her head high at sud-
den sounds, but she was nervous and
inquisitive, and this was the one thing
upon which she maintained a feminine
obstinacy.
On the second evening the Ranger
rode home through a drizzle that had
materialized after a long, threatening
afternoon and now promised to be-
come a real rain. Ricardo met him
at the door to say:
"You bring good fortune with you,
senOr, for the land is thirsty. TO-mOr
row, if this rain holds, we shall ride
tOgether-you, Pedro and I. Those
thieves do their stealing when they
leave no tracks,"
The sky was leaden, the rain still
fell in the morning when Dave and
his two companions set out. Until
afternoon they rode, their slickers
dripping, swaying to the tireless fox
trot of their steaming horses, their
eyes engaged in a watchful scrutiny.
At last Pedro, who was ahead,
reined in and pointed; the others saw
where the barbed-wire strands of the
fence they had been following were
clipped. A number of horse and calf
tracks led through the opening, and
after an examination Ricardo an
nounced:
"There are two men. They have
come and gone, with the calves tied
neck and neck"
'That is Las Palmas. isn't it?" Law
indicated the pasture into which the
trail led
Father and son answered, Isl, Sc
nor"
For time the Ranger lounged side
wise in his saddle, studying the coun-
try before him. Perhaps a half-mile
away a long, narrow patch of woods.
with the tops of occasional oaks
showing, ran parallel with the fence
for a considerable distance.
"They took them in yonder, to
brand" he said, Strengthening him
self. "Maybe We'll be in time"
Side by side the three men rode off
Guzman's land, following the tracks
to the nearest point of woods; there
Law stopped to give his directions.
"PedrO, you ride down this side;
Ricardo, you skirt the outside. I shall
keep to the middle. Walk your horses,
for I shall go slowly" With dubious
shake of the head Ricardo rode away,
while Dave guided Bessie Belle into
the grove.

Don Ricardo was not a Mexican. No,

They were indicted for trying to

would have deprived him of his voice

to have been exempted by the draft

HE CAPITAL-NEWS AS A l,OIITI-
CAL PROFITEER.

To the first of September the Cant
tal-News of Boise has been repaid for
the dirty work ii did for the Demo-
cratic state ticket year ago by being
made the recipient of $1S.35S.
worth of OF job work from the Demo-
crat officials in the state house. In
addition, Governor AIexand.r Is said
TO have made 1t imperative that new
counties created by the last Demo-
cratic legislature to have their iob
work done by the job department of
the Capita1-News. In one county the
Capital-News had it's contract all
written up for supplies for the new
county in the sum of $4,000. and ey-
pected the Democrat commissioners
to sign up Immediately after their
appointment. While the commits
s1oners had given their word that the
contract should go to the CAPITAL
News, one of the commissioners had
thought 1t might be we'll to call for
bids. When the bids were called for
the Capital-News' bid was for So. 600
drop OF $1,000. This should be con-
elusive evidence that the Capital
News had been robbing the taxpayers
with Nose Alexander's assistance out
of hundreds Of dollars in printing for
the state and counties.
Surely, Alexander has paid his debt
to the Capital News at the expense of
the state and II is one of the most
shameful histories of debauchery In
the annals of Idaho.
This sort Of thing was well known
to leaders of the Republican party in
this state. the sort of thing the Capt.
