gate waiting for her, which was un- usual, if Billy Louise had been normal enough to notice 1t. He came forward and took Blue by the bridle when she dismounted, which was still more un- usual, for Billy Louise always cared 1 for her own horse both from habit and 1 preference.
 "Yor mommie, she's sick" he an nounced stolidly. "She's worry you maybe hurt yoreself. To better go, maybe"
 Billy Louise did not answer. but ran up the path to the cabin. "0h, has everything got to happen all at once2' she cried aloud, protesting against the implacableness of misfortune.
 "Yor mommie's sick" Phoebe an- nounced in a whisper. She's crazy cause you been so long. She's awful bad, guess"
 Billy Louise said nothing, but went in where her m her lay moaning, her face white and turned to the ceiling. Billy Louise herself had pulled up her reserves of strength and cheerlulness, and the fingers she laid on her mothers 1 forehead were cool and steady.
 Poor old mommie! Is 1t that nasty 1 lumbago again?" she asked caressingly and did not permit the tiniest shade of anxiety to spoil the reassurance of her presence. "I went farther than usual and Blues pretty tender, so 1 eased him along, and I'm fearfully late. I sup i pose you've been having all kinds of disasters happening to me" She was passing her fingers soothingly over her mothers forehead while she explained and she saw that her mother did not moan so much as when she came into the room.
 "0f course I worried. I wish you guess it's 1umbago-m -mostly-but seems like it ain't, either. The pain seems to be mostly in my side" She stirred restlessly and moaned again.
 Whats Phoebe been doing for it7 1 You don't seem to have any fever mOmmie- and that's good thing. I'll i go fix you one of those dandy spice poultiees. Had any supper. mommie?"
 "Oh, I couldn't eat. Phoebe made d hop poultice but it's awful soppy."
 Well, never mind. Your dear daugh- ter is on the job now Shell have you all comfy in just about two minutes. Headache, mum? All right, I'll just shake up your billy and bring you such q dandy spice poultiee 1 expect you'll want to eat it tp Billy Louise's voice was soft and had a broody sweetness when she wished it so, that soothed more than medicine Her mothers eyes closed wearily while the girl talked; ; the muscles of her face relaxed q little from their look of pain.
 Billy Louise bent and laid her lips lightly on her mothers cheek. Poor old memmie! I'd have come home drumming if I'd known she wqJ sick and had to have nasty. soppy stuff"
 In the kitchen a very different Billy Louise measured spices and asked question now and then in whisper and breathed with a repressed unevenness which betrayed the strain she was un- der.

CHAPTER VI.
The Corral in the Canyon.

QUITE suddenly, just at sundown, o Billy Louise's journeying was in-
 terrupted in a most unexpected manner. She was dreaming along a flat bottomed canyon, looking for an easy way across, when Blue threw up his head. listened with his ears thrust forward and sniffed with widened nos trils. From his manner almost any thing might lie ahead of them. And because certain of the possibilities would call for quick action if any of them became q certainty Billy Louise twisted her gun belt around so that her six shooter swung within easy reach of her hand. With her fingers she made sure that the gun was loose in it's hol- ster and kicked Blue mildly as hint to go on and see what it was all about.
 Blue went forward, stepping easily on the soft side hill In rough country whatever you want to see is nearly al ways around sha~ bend; you read it so in the stories and books of travels and when you ride out in the hills you find it so in reality. Billy Louise rode

CHAPTER V-Continued.

Far over to the eastward a black dot moved up green slope and slid out of sight beyond. That might be Ward taking q short cut across the bill to his claim beyond the pine dotted ridge that looked purple in the distance. Billy Louise sighed with vague disquiet and turned to look away to the north, where the tumble of high hills grew more rugged with the valleys narrow CT and deeper.
 Here came two other dots, larger and more clearly defined as horsemen. From mere objects that stood higher than any animal and moved with a purposeful directness they presently became men who rode with the easy swing of habit which has become a second nature. They must have seen her sitting still upon her horse in the midst of that higbe sunny plateau. for they turned and rode up the slope to- ward her.
 Billy Louise waited, too depressed to wonder greatly who they were. Sea beck riders probably. And so they proved At least one of them was Seabeck man-Floyd Carson, who had talked with her at her own gate and had told her of the suspected cattle stealing. The other man was q stran- ger, whom Floyd introduced as MT. Birken.
 They had been "prewling around,n according to Floyd, trying to see what they could see. Floyd was one of those round-faced round-eyed young fellows who do not believe much in secrecy and therefore talk freely when ever and wherever they dare. He said that Seabeck had turned them loose to keep cases and see if they couldn't pick up the trail of these rus tiers who were trying to get rich off a running iron and long rope. Qf you are of the West you know what that means, and if you are not you ought to guess that it means stealing cattle and let 1t go at that) It was not until he had talked for ten minutes or so that Billy Louise became more than mildly interested in the conversation.
 Say, Miss Macdonald" Floyd asked by way of beginning new paragraph, ''how about that fellow over on Mill creek? He worked for you folks a year or so ago, didn't he? What does he dor"
 He has q ranch" said Billy Louise, with careful calm. Hes been work ing on it this summer, believe"
 "Uh-huh. We were over there this morning Them Y6 cattle up above his place are his, reckon?"
 Yes" said Billy Louise. He's been putting his wages into cattle for year or so. He worked for Junkins last winter. Why?"
 "Oh, nothing, l guess, only he's the only stranger in the country, and his prosperity aint accounted for"
 'Oh, but it isn' laughed Billy Louise ''I only wish I had half as clear tick ct. When he isn't working out he's

 Sometimes there are serious condi- tions where hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand so many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that an operation was necessary - every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordeal.
 If complications exist, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co.,. Lynn, Mass, for advice. The result of many years experience is at your service.

Must Have Ones Heart in Work

Unless a garden builder has a deep love of nature he will never do work of a high order, for he cannot understand the artistic side of gardening. One who merely loves plants especially sin. gle plants of strong attractions, may have little art or love of nature in him: skillful and well-posted horti. culturist he may be. He may be un. able to appreciate beauty or create 1t through use of plants. Do not engage plant dealer to plan your garden. Would you go to paint store for an irtist to paint landscape scenes?

The Baca Float Matter.
Tubac, Arizona,
October 8, 1918

Mr.. Allen T. Bird,
Nogales, Arizona.
Dear Sir: l have seen in your
paper an article from the Tue
son Star referring to what
Judge Bledsoe had said when
he rendered the decree in the
Baca Float case, requesting the
successful claimants to treat
the settlers fairly, and to sell
them lands they had occupied
so many years at a fair price,
or pay the settlers fair prices
Tor their improvements.
Now it seems the successful
ltigants are trying to make
The public at large believe that
hey have complied in full with
Judge Bledsoe's request; but
without avail, and that for that
resaon they were compelled to
take action for dispossession of
The settlers, sending Deputy u.
S. Marshal Treaty. to eject
them.
| wish to say that on the
south end of the grant the
Watts and Davis crowd had
promised voluntarily to we set
tiers to give us title to our
homes; but toward the last all
high sounding promises proved
mere scraps of paper; so there
we are. 1t is very unfortunate
for us that we had to deal with
people with no sense of honor.
So we must lose, Jake our med
icine, and get nothing for our
Improvements.
AS to the successful claim
aints of the north end of the
grant-Messrs. Bouldin and
Bailey, l have no complaint to
make. They have complied
with Judge Bledsoe's request.
Of course there are some who
will grumble; but so far as ]
know all the settlers on the
north half of the grant have
been given the same opportuni.
ty to purchase their holdings
that was given me, and to some
others. | can cite Harms Bros,
Manuel King, William Lowe,
and myself, who bought title to
our lands the grant owners
(north half, selling the same
at fair prices. In the case of
Mr.. Lowe other land was sold
him in lieu of that he held.
Respectfully yours,
