whispered behind his hand:
"Fellow upstairs from New Yorl
Mr.. Rushcroft-fellow named Barnes
! Quite a swell, believe me-"
It was q well,Dlaced tip, for MI
Rushcroft had been telling the native
for days that he knew everybod
worth knowing in New York.
Barne, was momentarily take
sback. Then he rose to the spirit o
Ihe occasion.
"Hello. Rushcroft," he greeted, as If
meeting an old-time and greatly be-
loved friend. "This is good. 'Pon
my soul you are like a thriving date
palm in the middle Of an endless des-
ert. How are your
They shook hands warmly. Mr.. Dfl-
lingford slapped the newcomer on the
shoulder affectionately, familiarly, and
shouted:
"Who would have dreamed we'd, run
across good old Barnesy up here? By
Jove, it's marvellous"
Friends, countrymen," doomed Mr..
Rushcroff, "thisis Mr.. Barnes Of New
York. Not the man the book was
written about but one of the best fel-
lows God ever put into this little world
Of ours. I do not recall your names,
gentlemen, Or I would. Introduce each
Of you separately and divisibly."
Lyndon Rushcroft was tall, saggy
man Of fifty. Despite his determined
erectness he was inclined to sag from
the shoulders down. His head, huge
and gray, appeared to be much too
ponderous for his yielding body, and
yet he carried it manfully, even the
atrically. The lines in his dark, sea-
soned face were like burrows; his nose
was large and somewhat bplbous, his
mouth wide and grim. Thick, black
eyebrows shaded a pair of eyes ir
which white was no longer apparent
1t had given way to permanent red.
A two-days' stubble covered his chin
and cheeks. Altogether he was a sim
gular exemplification Of ones idea of
the old-time actor.
Passing through the office, his arm
linked in one Of Barnes, Mr.. Rush
croft hesitated long enough to impress
upon Landlord Jones the importance

nam Jones bli9ked slightly and his
eyes sought the register as If to ac-
ruse or. justify his memory. Then he
spat copiously into the corner, a nee
pssary preliminary to grin. He
hadn't much use for the great Lyndon
Rushcroft. His grin was sardOnic.
Something told him that Mr.. Rush
croft was about to be literally fed.

tervenes, and Two Men Ride Away.
Mr.. Rushcroft explained that he had
had his supper. In fact, he went on
TO confess, he had been compelled
like the dog, to "speak" for it. What
could be more disgusting, more degrad
Ing, he mourned, than the spectacle
Of a man who had appeared in all OF
the principal theaters Of the land as
star and leading support to stars, set,
tllng for his supper by telling stories
and reciting poetry in the taproom
Of tavern?
"Still," he consented, when Mr.
Barnes insisted that it would be q
kindness to him, "since you put it that
way, dare say could do with little
snack, as you so aptly put it. Just a
bite or two. What have you ready,
Miss Tilly?"
Miss lilly was a buxom female of
forty or thereabouts, with spectacles
She was one Of pair Of sedentary
mattresses who had been so long In the
employ of Mr.. James that he hated the
sight Of them.
Mr.. Rushcroft's conception Of a bite
or two may have staggered Barnes
but it did not bewilder Miss Tilly. he
had four eggs with his ham, and
other things in proportion. He talked
a great deal, proving in that way that
it was a supper well worth speaking
for. Among other things he dilated
at great length upon his reasons for
not being q member Of the Players or
the Lambs in New York city. 1t seems
that he had promised his dear, devoted
wife that he would never join a club
Of any description. Dear old girl, he
would as soon have cut off his right
hand as to break any promise made
to her. he brushed something away
from his eyes, and his chin, contract
ing, trembled slightly. "What is 1t,

Miss lilly, overhearing, drew step
Or two nearer. A sudden interest in
Mr.. Barnes developed. She had not
noticed before that he was an uncom-
monty good-looking fellow. She al.
ways had said that she adored strong,
"athaletic" faces.
Later on she felt inspired to jot
down, for use no doubt in some future
literary production, concise, though
general, description of the magnificent
Mr.. Barnes. She utilized the back OF

HAND GRENADE RANKS

The savings organization or tie
Tenth Federal Reserve district has
been informd by the treasury depart
ment that the secretary of war, decid-
ing that hand grenades converted into
savings banks should not be sent
broadcast throughout the country, has
cancelled his arrangement to furnish
grenades to the treasury department.
Although more than 900, 900 of these
grenades have been sold to the banks
in the Tenth district, the children who
have entered into the savings plan dur.
ing their vacation, must content them

Gates are being prepared in Washing
ton and will be issued by the savings

The war department gave its APPROX
al Of the grenade distribution several
weeks ago. Its recent decision comes
as a surprise, but was evidently made
on account of complaints made that
the grenades might become a menace
to the safety of children and families
owing to the possibility of again con
verting them into dangerous weapons.

lie II it could be ascertained why the
only serious fires that occurred at
Nitro burned only the buildings that
contained the public records. My in
formation is that this plant was con
structed upon a commission basis by
Thompson-starret Co., Of New York.
I have further information to the effect
that Mr.. Starrett, of that company,
shortly prior to the time the construc-
ton Of his plant was commenced, sew
cred his connection with the corpora
tion and rendered his services to the
government at dollar a year, which
the government accepted, and that
among his various patriotic duties was
the inspection Of the Nitro plant. If
this information is correct-and think
there is no doubt about it-then it
would be interesting, also, to the pub
lie to know just what Mr.. Starrett 3
services really cost the government at
Nitro alone. There is an unusually
fertile field at Nitro for the services

Warner left Colorado two years ago
and found a home at Libby, Mont.
"There's plenty Of big game in Mon

continued Warner, with enthusiasm,
"don't forget there's big stuff a-pleaty
in the Yellowstone and in British Col.

He is the only guide in the country
today who captures mountain lions and
hog-ties them alive.
"That's a Buffalo Bill trick that I
lay no copyright to-" declared the
hunter frankly, "but it is game at
which only the stout-hearted will
play"
Warner accompanied "Jake" Borah
and "Johnnie' Goff, two of the pio-
neer hunters of Colorado, and guides
to Theodore Roosevelt, on many Of
their early day expeditions
"I liked the old school bunch all
right" he said, "e1cept for the fact
that in the old days it was expected
that guide must tank up on booze,
and the more he consumed, the better
guide he made"
Warner piloted Harry Drayton,
nephew Of John Jacob Astor, on an
overland trip from Glenwood Springs
to Chihuahua in 1909. Pack outfits
were used. He also served as guide
to Harry Whitney and Frank Carnegie
on two trips into British Columbia.

resented that if the prayer Of Lake
county were sustained it would affect
Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield counties,
as well as those directly in litigation,
Judge Dollison maintains that this will
not be the effect of Judge Hersey "a
decision, since Garfield county was not
included in the pleadings and therefore
was not involved in any manner so ia,
as the recent action was concerned.
A part Of Judge Hersey's finding.
is as follows:
"Giving meaning to each and every
word of the statutes governing this
case, have been led to the unshaken
conclusion, and I have no doubt, that
point &c" on the Snowy range is ths
northwest corner Of Park County as in.
tended by the legislature of 1851 and
all amending Legislatures, and that a
limo running due west from that point
is the northern boundary of Lake
county.
"Counsel for the plaintiff has con,
tended that in constituting the bounla
ries Of Lake county we must start ,t
point on the Snowy range which is
the northwest corner of Park county
defendants counsel has contended that
we must begin at a point on the Snowy
range, not necessarily that corner, and
has declared that those words might
even be eliminated
"Tt must be assumed that the legis
lature assumed the northwest corner OF
Park county as a known and . dis
cernible point, SO I can conceive of no
reason why should eliminate The
words northwest corner We must
find that corner in order to find the
boundary Of Lake county. There is
sometimes considerable difficulty in
constituting statutes because of the inae.
curacies and the richness Of our Ian.
guage. However, have found no such
difficulty in constituting this statute,
and have come to the conclusion that
point &C. is the northwest corner OF
Park county, and the starting point
for the dose, iption Of Lake county =
