Early Spring and Killdeers

When the first killdeer appears
with its much repeated cry and plain
tive and penetrating notes along
about seed planting time you know
that spring is here. but then. these
little killdeers do not appear in the
winter to tell us whether we are to
have an early or a late spring. There
ia way OF telling, however. and that
was discovered by the Olney Springs
journal. which says: "The Olney
blacksmith states that farmers are
expecting an early spring as they
are getting their farm implements
Fixed up to be ready for business"
1t is likely, therefore. that when
the first killdeer cries out its notes
the farmers will go over the top.

There was splash of splintering

They were piling out of the door
when the telephone caught them. It
was a message from Rickard. A car
was to be rigged up, papers, tickets
and express matter taken from the
station. The river was cutting close
to the track. The car would be the
terminal, half-mile from town.
The situation looked black. Coul-
ter, Eggers, began to pack their stock.
The levee, it was said, would not hold

would go next. Richards Indians
were kept stolidly piling brush and
stuffed sacks on the levee. This, the
word ran, would be the fierce night
no one expected to sleep.
They were preparing for the big
battle, the final struggle, when the
grade recession passed the town.
Spectacular as was its coming, there
was an anticlimax in its retreat. The
water reached the platform of the
breath. There was some sleep that
night.
The next day, the nerves of the val.
ley relaxed. The river was not cut
ting back. The men at the levee
dropped their shovels, and went back
to the discussion of their lawsuits.
Their crops were ruined; too much
water, or too little. Whatever way
they had been hurt, the company
would have to pay for it,
A small shift guarded the river.
Rickard, in his room at the Desert

day and night without waking. The

started somewhere, swelling toward
the balcony.

began the rising voices. Marshall's
voice rang out:
But the government wants-you!

Sharply he sat down before the au-

finished. The house had not found its
voice, when Babcock's gavel was
pounding again for attention. The
question. he felt, had not been put to
them completely. Perhaps, they did
not gather the full import Of Mr.. Mar

follow Mr.. Marshall.
MacLean's superb figure rose from

humorously.
