CHAPTER XVI.
"Hm-mm!"

"Hn-mm!"
IN LLOYD CARSON was a phlegmatic
young man, but he swore an as
tonished oath when he saw Billy
Louise galloping along the lane that
led nowhere except to the womanless
abode of Samuel Seabeck. He walked
very fast to the stable, which was the
first logical stopping place, and so he
met Billy Louise before she had time
to dismount, even supposing she in
tend to do so.
"Hello, Floyd! Is Mr.. Seabeck at
homer"
"Sure. Get off, and I'll put up your
horse. We're just through eatin', but
our grub carpenter will rustic some
thing for yuh, all right"
mo, I can't stop this time. I'm not
hungry, anyway. Just give a yell for
Mr.. Seabeck, will you? 1 want to see
him minute"
Floyd eyed her uncertainty, decided
that Billy Louise was not in the mood
to yield to persuasion, and tactfully
hurried off to find Seabeck without
shouting for him-lest he bring others
also, who were evidently not wanted at
all. He took it that Billy Louise felt
some diffidence about visiting strict
~ bachelor outfit, and he set himself
to relieve her of any embarrassment.
Presently Seabeck himself came
from the dirt-roofed, rambling cabin
which was his home and strobe down
the path, buttoning his coat as he
came. Floyd's face showed for a min
ute in the doorway before he effaced
himself completely, and not another
man was in sight anywhere. Billy Lou
Use was grateful to circumstance; she

the reason Floyd Carson believed.

"Why, certainly, I'll go. If you'll

"Pll ride on, think. Blue hates

"Oh, not at all |" Seabeck stubbed
his toe on the stable doorsill in his
confusion at the praise. ''I'll be right
along, soon as can slip a saddle on.'
He disappeared, and Billy Louise
turned and loped slowly down the
lane.

LA CROK BLUE
IS RECLA|M|NG
WOUNDED HORSES

The sufferings of horses in warfare
have touched the public conscience to
an increasing extent during the past
two decades. The development of
high explosives and the increased
range and destructive powers of mod
ern arms have rendered warfare more
terrible than was ever dreamed of at
the time of the Crimean war, though,
unfortunately for the horse, he has not
yet been eliminated as a factor in mil
itary campaigns.
In August, 1914, the Blue Cross COM
1nittee met and decided to issue an
appeal on behalf of the horses in the
war which had just commenced.
The quarters allotted to the Blue
Cross by the French authorities have
been adapted to the special require
ments; an essential feature being the
provision of ample light and air, the
value of which cannot be over-esti-
mated as curative agents. The floors
are constructed with a view to facili-
tating cleanliness and hygiene, and
are plentifully covered with litter
which is renewed twice each day.
A good supply of excellent drinking
water has been arranged for in each
case, and forage, including oats, is
supplied in managers of stone or hard
wood so placed that each horse can
feed in it's natural position. Careful
grooming-an allimportant element of
successful treatments systematical-
ly carried out, and gentleness in the
handling of sick and wounded horses
is insured, while the best conditions
for rapid recovery are also maintained.
Adjoining the hospitals are spacious
meadows and pasture lands, enabling
the convalescent, horses to make rapid
progress under ideal conditions.
With the exception of Ste. Mammes,
the organization Of each depot is on
a uniform plan, and included large

room, wherein are grouped all the in
jured horses requiring serious opera
lions and constant medical care; a
second hospital devoted exclusively to
sick or debilitated horses; and an iso-
lation establishment for infectious
cases. Infected horses are carefully
isolated, but, thanks to the care taken
by the French army veterinary serv-
ice, mango is almost the only disorder
of this kind that has to be dealt with.
La Croix. Bleue has become an eff
fective branch of the French army,
the. sick and wounded horses being
passed on by the military authorities
to the Blue Cross hospitals and re-
transferred when the process of cure
is complete.

Hayden thinks that no power should
exist anywhere to make exemptions
from a transportation rule which is
manifestly just and fair upon it's face
Speaking of his bill, Congressman
Hayden referred to the fact that the
interstate commerce commission has
recently handed down a decision which
makes the long and short haul clause
generally ironclad throughout Arizona
and the intermountain region. This
order, however, is subject to revision
and change at any time and it has
been suggested by the interstate COM
merce commission that it may be
changed with the resumption of water
competition through the Panama canal
Mr.. Hayden believes this to be bad
national policy because its necessary
effect is to reduce the value of the
Panama canal for commercial pur-
poses, the very object for which it was
constructed with the peoples money.
The Arizona congressman is of the
opinion that the fact of the govern

details, but the little she did know
made her hedge.
"There's queer story about Olney.

present more important than the re-
covery Of any-m-m-cattle of mine

the dust off things and restored the
room to its most cheerful atmosphere
Of livableness.
"Wan' a drink" mumbled Ward,
with a blanket over his mouth and a
raveled thread tickling his nose so that
he squirmed.
Billy Louise went over and laid her
fingers on his neck. 81 can't tell
whether it's grease or perspiration,"
she said, laughing little. ''What are
you squirting up your nose for? Sure
ly to goodness you don't mind that
little, harmless travelling? If you
wouldn't go on breathing, it wouldn't
wriggle around so much!" Neverthe-
less, she plucked the tormenting

Ward grunted something and after
wards signified that he would take the
coffee and call it square.
The next time she went near him he
was wrinkling his lean nose because
beads of perspiration were standing
there and slipping occasionally down
to his cheeks.

she added sententiously, always has

The comparison reminded her that
she intended to shut Rather in the
hay corral; she dried Wards hands
hastily, pulled the wolf-skins off the
bed, and commanded him to keep COW
cred until she came back. She ran
down bareheaded to the stable, saw
Rather industriously boring his nose
into the stack, and put up the gate.
When she went into the cabin again,
Ward gave a start and opened his eyes
like one who had been doing. Billy
Louise smiled with qualification. He
was better. She knew he was better.
She did not speak, but went over to
the stove and pretended to be busy
there, though she was careful to make
no noise. When she turned finally and
glanced toward the bed, Ward was
asleep.
Billy Louise took deep breath, tip
toed over to the bench beside the table,
sat down, and pillowed her head on
her folded arms. She wanted to cry,
and she needed to think, and she was
deadly, deadly tired.

ment having assumed control of the
railroads for war purposes should
make no difference with regard to the
enactment of his bill into law. If it
is wrong to charge more for the,
shorter haul than the longer, it can
make no possible difference where the
control of the roads may lie. 1t would
be just as wrong for the government
to pursue such a course as for pri-
vate corporation to do it. There is no
conflict between this bill and anything
which the government may have in
view in operating the railroads. Mr..
Hayden feels that when the oppor-
tunity is presented, he will be able to
make very strong showing in sup
port of his bill The Arizona state
corporation commission has made a /.
speciality of the question involved,
having pressed it vigorously before the
interstate commerce commission, and
is largely responsible for the recent
favorable decision in the intermoun-
tain rate cases.

HAYDEN INTRODUCES
| ONG AND SHORT
HAUL MEASURE

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Con-
gresham Carl Hayden of Arizona has
introduced a bill providing for the
amendment of the fourth section of
the act to regulate commerce so as to
make the long and short haul clause
absolute. The law now provides that
there shall be no higher charge for
shorter than for a longer haul on the
same line in the same direction, the
shorter being included within the
longer; but it allows the interstate
commerce commission to grant exemp-
tons from this rule in special cases
after investigation. These exemptions
have been so sweeping and general in
their character that they have in eff
feet become the rule, while the main
provision of the law amounts to very
little more than an exception. Mr..
