In his profession, Fred Kitchen, the fa-

fed. Now he sat as erect In his saddle
as swaying reed; again he stretched
himself out like a whiplash. Once he
had begun the work he would not
stop.
All that afternoon the cowboys
labored. and toward sundown the de.
pleted herd was driven to the water.
Then through the cool twilight came
the drive to the next pasture, and here
the patience Of the cowboys was taxed
to the utmost for as the stronger men,
bers of the herd forged ahead, the
wearied, worried, llttlest members fell
behind. But now these swarthy, dare
devil riders were as gentle as women; !;
they urged the tiny youngsters onward
with harmless switches or with pain
less blows from loose-colled riatas; !;
they picked them up in their arms and
rode with them.
Once through the gate and safe in
side the restraining pasture fence, the
herd was allowed to settle down. Then
began patient search by outraged
mothers, series Of mournful quests
that were destined to continue far into
the night; endless nosings and sniffings
and caressings, which would keep up
until each COW had found her own,
until each calf was buttlng its head
against maternal ribs and gaining that
consolation which 1t ctaved.

he had no desire to meet young Ed"
However, to his relief, Austin did not
appear, and inasmuch as Alalre did
not refer to her husband in any way
Dave decided that he must be absent
perhaps on one Of his notorious sprees.
The mistress of the big ranch was
In her harness, having at once assumed
her neglected duties. She came to
welcome her caller in a short khaki
riding suit: her feet were incased in
tan boots; she wore a mannlsh felt
hat and gantlet gloves, showing that
she had spent the morning In the
saddle. Dave thought she looked ex.
ceedingly capable and businessllke
and not less beautiful in these clothes {;

you find it rare?" Dave looked up
keenly. "Well, you have certainly laid
up a store Of 1t today"
BenitO and his men had rounded up
perhaps three thousand head of cattle
when Alaire and her companion ap-
peared, and they were in process OF
"cutting out" 1t was an animated
scene, one fitted to rouse enthusiasm
In any plainsmnn, for the stock was fat
and healthy; there were many calves,
and the incessant, rumbling complaint
Of the herd was blood-stlrring. The
Las Palmas cowboys rode like CEN
taurs; the air was drumming to swift
hOofbeats, and over all was the hoarse.
unceasing undertone from countless
bovine throats. Out near the grub
wagon the remuda was grazing, and
thither at intervals came the persplr-
ing horsemen to change their mounts.
Benito, wet, dusty and tired, rode
up to his employer to report progress.
"Dios! This Is hot work for an old
man. We will never finish by dark"
said he, whereupon Law promptly vol.
unteered his services.
LEND me your rope, Benito." Dave
slid out Of his seat and, with an arm
around the mares neck, whispered into
her ear. Rosa answered by nosing the
speaker over with brazen familiarity.
"Dlablo! He has way with horses,
hasn't he?" Bento grinned. "Now, that
Montrosa Is wilder than a deer"
The giant herd milled and eddied,
revolving like vast pool of deep,
swift water. The bulls were quarrel
some, the steers were stubborn, and
the wet cows were distracted. In and
out Of this confusion the cowboys rode,
following the animals selected for sep
aration, forcing them out through dust
and brush, until they had joined the
smaller herd Of choice animals which
were to remain on the ranch. It was
swift, sweaty, exhaustlng work, the
kind these Mexicans loved, for 1t was
not only spectacular but held an
amount Of danger. Dave Law made
himself one of them.
Alaire sat her horse in the heart of
the crOwding herd and watched the
Ranger. Good riding she was accus-

STATE SELLSLAND TWICE
SCOTT ESTATE DISCOVERS LARGE
TRACT OF LAND HAD BEEN
SOLD BY STATE FOR TAXES.
Although In Possession Of Land for 81
Years, Were compelled to Pay State
$500 To Clear Title To Swamp
Land-Was Built Up By oVSrflows

Jacksonville sale of state lands
during the last month has doubled that
of transfers during the first five
months of the year Approximately
5000 acres. most of 1t swamp and
marsh land, have been sold by the
state in that time, according to M. A.
Brown, state land commissioner
The largest transfer was that Of
1880 acres Of land to the Charles Scott
heirs. This land was sold at $1.25 an
acre, amounting to $1,000. However,
this swamp land which was sold to
the Scott heirs has been in the posses
sion Of the family for many years. Last
year in having an abstract made Of
these two sections, the heirs discov
cred that Mississippi owned it, because
OF the swamp land act of congress Of
1858. The land was built up by the
overflow of the river in Wilkinson
county. Through the course of time
the state, although owning the land,
sold 1t for taxes. 1t was thought at
the time that it belonged to squatters
who had not paid the taxes. Thus
with the state really owning these two
sections, 1t was sold by the state be.
cause the taxes had not been paid.
This was something like 30 years ago
when 1t was bought by Mr.. Scott.

"There Is story which illustrates

TITS story about magistrate who

"'You are fined $5 for this offense,
