hers steadily. But 1t was not their
steadiness that caused Peggy's

wounded spirit that shone thru
them. Hurriedly she fumbled for

lips went to his.

CHAPTER XVIII.


Three hours later, Trowbridge
examining new-style reaper
heard his father-in-law's voice:
Bout time fer the ladies' ridin'
match, Ed. Better be maxim fer
the small ring If y want T. see it"
Something in the tone arrested
his attention. Quickly, forebor-
ingly, he pushed his way thru the
crowd to the fence that enclosed
the ring.
Peggy was riding almost oppo-
site him-Peggy, all joy and ten
derness and beautiful youth, on
not Umpire, safe and reliable Um-
pire, but the Brute, the worst
tempered saddle horse in the coun-
ty, a slender legged, handsome,
ungovernable bay that passed
quickly from owner to owner, leav-
ing their broken bones behind him
as souvenirs.
The Brute! Mrs. Trowbridge
was riding the Brute! went swift
ly over the crowd. And the crowd
leaned forward, bated-breathed,
thrilling exquisitely over possible
danger. Men in the vicinity of
Trowbridge looked at him strange
ly. Had Big Ed lost his senses,
that he allowed his wife on the
Brute?
Around and around the half-mile
ring they all cantered, each going
much where her fancy dictated, at
the outer edge, or inner. or across
the ring, or aslant it, only that all
headed always the one way. A lit
tie while then men versed in
points" began to lean forward
and draw quick breaths. Eve was
sitting her horse prettily, correct
ly; but Mrs. Ed was riding hers!
And 'gad. what riding! How she
yielded to every move of the
Brute-and at just the precise mo-
ment. And the poise of her head,
and the set of her shoulders, and
her back-was 1t possible that a
back, supple when it should be
supple and only then, straight

Sheriff Gives
Soft Drink Man
Hurry-up Order

The proprietor of a soft drink
establishment near "Bummer's
Gulch" in the southern part of the
city, gave birthday party Friday
night.
Early Saturday morning a wom-
an telephoned Sheriff Longmire
that her son had come home
drunk.
The sheriff went out to investi-
gate, and found a number of
youths who admitted having been
at the party and that the man put
something" into the pop, and
that they reached home in a de-
moralized condition.
"I'll give you two hours to pack
your soft-drink parlor in a truck
and get out of town." the sheriff
told the man.
"I'll make 1t In one" replied the
offender, and he did.

where uprightness was needed, yet

ing between her riding and Ewes?
And no matter what gait. pacing or
looping or trotting, Mrs. Ed was
equally one with her mount-and
Mrs. ED only--was borne in upon
Ewes amazed admirers. Mrs. Ed
atrot was joyous vision, while
Eve
Speedily the great mass, know
ing no contestant personally and
playing no favorlte, had eyes only
for the slender, deliciously curv-
ing, plant figure on the Brute,
riding as nonchalantly as the
alone in country lane. her heav-
lily curtained eyes looking out
dreamily, faint little smile on
the childishly parted red lips.
The cheering and roofing be-
gan softly, then louder and loud
err, yet:
1.-THE bay! The bay! Put 1t on
the bay; The bay-the bay!"
From five thousand throats It
rose in a mighty roar. They had
been thrilled at first by possible
danger, but that had quickly
passed as they saw that the little
horse had somehow found his
mistress. The hoarss shouts
were tributes to pure horseman-
ship. Mrs. Ed Trowbridge could
ride! Eve Dawson was outclass-
ed three to one. Old Rube would
never dare pass over such supe-
riority.
The whistle sounded again.
Obediently Mrs. Ed turned her
horse and loped toward-not the
judges stand, but the outer gate,
raising her hand peremptorily for
the gatekeeper to open 1t.
And the crowd saw the joke
the delicious effrontery of out
riding her rival and leaving the
blue ribbon to fall, as a matter of
course, to its foreordained reci-
pient-and laughed till 1t cried.
But the gate did not open.
There were too many people JAM
med against 1t, for one thing;
and, for another, the gate-keeper
had been signaled from the
judges stand not to. The whistle
sounded again. But Mrs. Ed still
sat her horse, nonchalantly wait
ing for the gate to open. And
the awarding judge, with what
dignity he could muster, waddled
from the judges stand to Mrs. Ed
and tied the blue ribbon around
her arm. And pandemonium let
loose.
AS she rode out thru the gate,
cleared now for her triumphal
exit, her eyes leaped quickly
from face to face, looking
looking-ah.
She slid from her horse into the
eager arms.
Pretty Peggy love!"
That night Peggy made a rec
ord of the riding match in her
diary. In conclusion she wrote:
II wish l knew IL I really did
this for Daddy, or just to show
Ed that I could ride. It's awful
ly hard to know sometimes IL I'm
doing something to please myself
or some one else"

CHAPTER XVII

Of1AI Il EN- Az II
Over the dinner table, Peggy
announced to her husband In a
casual tone:
ed, I'm going to enter the
ladies' riding match at the county
fair this year."
whats the joker"
but l am, Ed. Eve Dawson's
taken the blue ribbon for 10 years.
and that's long enough"
Trowbridge ran over in his mind
the respective merits of his wife's
and Eve Dawson's riding.
''My blood is still Patton blood,
II my name has been changed to
Trowbridge, and the Pattons fight
better against odds than when the
games even. They just keep on
going till they win-somehow."
When the fair oponed, the excit-
ing topic of conversation was the
ladies' riding match. Then-un-
belfevable, = astounding cata-
clysmic as Democratic landslide!
Old John Patton-Old John Pat
ton-carried off first premium on
all the staple products he dis
played. The biggest and evenest
and fullest-grained ears of corn,
the biggest and smoothest and
finest grained potatoes, the heav-
lest wheat, were his! Men sur
rounded the Patton displays in
fascinated wonder, eyes and mouth
agape, measuring, weighing, heft-
ing, harranguing.
For the first time IN seven years,
red cards-symbol of second best
tagged the Trowbridge displays!
Second best!
Edwin Trowbridge's wife had
said rightly; he was not small"
There was no i'll feeling against
Old John. He was rather proud
than otherwise of his wife's father,
not displeased by the excited ad-
miration that followed the
paunchy, loose-jointed old ex-
ponent of the latest word in sci
. entific farming. Only
Second best! With all his acres
and "hands" and resources and his
own careful supervision, he had
fallen short. His soreness was no
less, but more, because it was di-
rected against himself. The longer
he mulled over the matter, the
greater seemed his own stupidity.
He was raw with modification.
Guess we don't want any more
red souvenirs to add to the collec-
ton, do we Peggy?" he said to his
wife, that evening.
Guess we don't" said she, with
saucy gentleness. Then she raised
her arms to his neck with little
mothering cry. you big darling,

ASK PUBLIC NOT
TO NOTICE BOXES

OLYMPIA, Sept. 1.-The pub
lie will be asked to buy fruit in
boxes made of weatherbeaten or
uneven boards just as readily as
it does that packed in bright,
new packages, the state council
of defense announced yesterday
thru M. p. Goodner, secretary.
The box shortage is likely to
cause a shortage of fruit in the
markets unless the public will
recognize that good fruit is good
fruit whether the box is attractive
or not.
