FROM DEFENDANT
 TO CAPITALIST
Dave Broderick's Propserity Dates From Day He Was
 Hailed Into Police
 Court and Fined

It was the luckiest day of Dave Broderick's life when on a disturbance of the peace charge, he was haled before Justice Piper in the Niagara Falls, N. Y., police court and sentenced to pay SIP weekly for six months.
 Dave looked agast and said it simply "could not be did" !"
 Alright" said the judge, "six months on the rock pile for yours," and he adjusted his spectacles, dipped his pen in ink and started to write.
 David, the defendant did som tall thinking and he did it quickly. "Six months at the works" he ruminated, land rot a cent of pay! And this old codger. says that for me if 1 do not buy SIP worth of War Savings Stamps every week for six months-26 weeks. That guy was right-life is just one darn thing after another But I reckon it is best to lose SIP per week than $30.
 So Dave halted the court.
 Alright, yer honor, I give up.' "I'll buy War Savings Stamps"
 Judge Piper smiled grim1y when he outlined tho process which required that payments be made promptly, failure of which meant the work and when final payment was made Dave was to get w. s. s. for the full amount he had paid in.
 When the six months had elapsed, Dave again said good morning to the judge. But this time he entered a volun- tary appearance.
 Judge, yer honor,' said Dave, no longer a defendant, you sure d1d me a favor when you sentenced me to pay that SIP per week. I did not be- lieve 1 could save a dollar a week. But l got through and now I see I have enough to make first payment on the home that me and the old wo- man have wanted ever since we married. And now I sen- tence myself to buy $1O a week of the same War Savings Stamps until we get the house paid for"
 Police judges in other cities are trying out Judge Piper's plan and it is found workable

COUNTY PRIDE CHAL-
 LENCED BY CENTENNIAL

The Arkansas Centennial celebration to be held in Lit tie Rock November 17-22 is to be a challenge to the pride of every county of the tate.
 There is not a county that should not make a creditable exhibit of it's resources, natur- al or manufactured, in friend ly competition with all other countes. A large amount of the $75,000 fund being raised by pouplar subscription over the state, one half of it in Pu- laski county, is to be used in the payment of premiums for the best exhibits of different kinds. Each county is to have without cost, as much space as 1t may need for the proper dis play of it's resources. Liberty Hall will be used for the dis play of these exhibits and if that building which covers quarter of a city block, is not large enough, other provisions will be made.
 Each county is to collect and prepare for shipment it's ex- hibits, with the assistance of the Agricultural Extension forces ano deliver them to the nearest railroad station. The Centennial committee will pay all freight and express charg- es to Little Rock and return, provide for the housing and care of the exhibits while here and return to the owners such exhibits they desire returned.
 We are sorry to note that Mrs. Alex Meyers is reported ill this week.

CHAPTER II.

Doctor Hardy recovered from his in- juries as rapidly as could be expected and, while he chafed somewhat over spending his holidays under such cir cumstances, the time passed not un- happily.
 A considerable acquaintanceship had sprung up between him and the senior Elden. The rancher had come from the East forty years before, but in turning over their memories the two men found many links of association: third persons known to them both; places, even streets and houses, common to their feet in early manhood; events of local history which each could recall, although from different angles. And Elden's grizzled head and stopping frame carried more experiences than would fill a dozen well-rounded city

her gray ones and demanded truth. "Irene," he said, ''do you mean thatT
 "Sure do," she answered. College courses, and all that kind of thing, they're good stuff, all right, but they make some awful nice boys-real live boys, you know-into some awful dead ones. My father says about the best education is to learn to live with in your income, pay your debts and give the other fellow a chance to do the same. They don't all learn that at college. Then there's the things you do, just like you were born to 1t, that they couldn't do to save their lives. Why, I've seen you smash six bottles at stretch, you going full gallop and whooping and shooting so w
 hardly tell which was which.

 "Did you never go to school~ she asked, in genuine surprise. She knew his speech was ungrammatical, but thought that due to careless training rather than to no training at all.
 "Where'd I go to schoolY' he de- manded, bitterly. "There ain't school within forty miles. Guess I wouldn't have went if I could," he added, as an afterthought, wishing to be quite hon. est in the matter. "School didn't seem to cut no figure-until jus lately" ! "But you have learned-some2" she continued.
 "Some. When I was little kid my father used to work with me at times. He learned me to read a little, an to write my name, an a little more. But things didn't go right between him an mother, an he got to drinkin' more an more, an jus making h- of it. We used to have a mighty fine herd of steers here, but it's all shot to pieces. When we sell bunch the old man II stay in town for month or more, blowin' the coin and leavin' the debts go. I sneak a couple of steers away now an then, an with the money keep our grocery bills paid up an have a little to rattle in my jeans. My credits good at any store in town" and Irene thrilled to the note of pride in his voice as he said this. The boy had real quality in him. "But Pm sick of it all," he continued. "Sick of it, an wanna get out"
 'You think you are not educated" she answered, trying to meet his out burst as tactfully as possible. "Per- haps you are not, the way we think of it in the city. But guess you could show the city boys a good many things they don't know, and never will know"
 For the first time he looked her straight in the face. His dark eyes met

life" Then with sudden little scream she exclaimed: "Oh, daddy, why can't you sell your practice and buy ranch? Wouldn't that be wonderfulf"
 "Your mother might not see 1t that way" he replied and her eyes fell.
 Yes, that was the obstacle. She would have to go back to the city and talk by rule, and dress by rule, and behave by rule, and be correct.
 "It's been a good time," the doctor continued, when they had commenced supper, "but I've already overstayed my holiday. I feel I can travel now, and my leg will be pretty strong by , the time I am back east. If Dave will oblige us by going to town tomorrow and bringing back some one who can drive car, we will be able to start the following morning. Twill just take the car to town, and either sell it there or ship it."
 The following morning found Dave early on the trail, leading a saddled horse by his side. The hours were leaden for the girl all that day and. looking into the future, she saw the specter of her life shadowed down the years by an unutterable loneliness. How could she ever drop it ali-all this wild freedom, this boundless health, this great outdoors, this life, life-how could she drop 1t all and go back into the little circle where con vention fenced out the tiniest alien streamlet, although the circle itself might lie deep in mire? And how would she give up this boy who had grown so imperceptibly but so inti- mately into the very soul of her being give him up with all his strength and virility and, yes, and coarseness, if you will, but sincerity, too-an essential man, as God made him-in exchange for a machine-made counterfeit with the stamp of Society," Deeply did she ponder these questions, and as the day wore on she found herself possessed of a steadily growing determination that she would not follow the beaten trail, let the by-paths lead where they might.
 Darkness, save for a white moon, had settled over the foothills when the boy returned with another young man. The stranger ate a ravenous supper, but was not too occupied to essay con- versatlon with Irene He chose to call her cook.
 Swell pancakes, cook" was his opening remark. "Can you find an- other for yours truly?"
 She refilled his plate without an- swer.
 'Used to know a girl mighty like you," he went on. "Waitress in the Royal Edward. Geel but she was swell A pippinl Class2 Say, she had 'em all guessing. Had me guessing myself for while. But just for I while" He voiced these remarks with an air of Intense self-approval more offensive than the words.
 Irene felt the color rise about her neck and cheeks and run like an over flowing stream into her ears and about her hair. It was evident that, for second time, Dave had chosen to say nothing to strangers about her pres ence at the ranch. Her father and MT. Elden were in Dave's room; Dave had stopped eating, and she saw the veins rising in hks clenched fists. But the challenge was to her, and she would accept 1t; she felt no need of his pro- tection.
 "Fill your stomach" she said, pass Ing more pancakes; 'your head is hopeless." ..

way, should be brought to the ranch buildings. Dave harnessed his team and, instead of riding one of the horses walked behind, driving by the reins and accompanied by the girl, who had proclaimed her ability to steer the car
 With the aid of the team and Dave's lariat the car was soon righted and was found to be none the worse for its de f1ection from the beaten track. Irene presided at the steering-wheel, watch ing the road with great intentness and turning the wheel too far on each oc, casion, which gave to her course a somewhat wavy or undulating order, such as is found in bread-knives; or perhaps a better figure would be to compare 1t to that rolling motion af- fected by fancy skaters. However, the mean of her direction corresponded with the mean of the trail and all went merrily until the stream was ap- preached. Here was a rather steep descent and the car showed a sudden purpose to engage the horses in con- test of speed. She determined to use the foot-brake, a feat which was ac- complished, under normal conditions, contraption somewhere beneath the steering-post. She shot quick glance downward and, to her alarm, discov- cred not one, but three, contraptions, all apparently designed to receive the pressure of a foot-if one could reach them-and as similar as the steps of a stair. This involved a further hesita- tion, and in automobiling he who hesi- tates invites a series of rapid experi- ences. It was quite evident that the car was running away. It was quite evident that the horses were running away, too. The situation aS sumed the qualities of a race, and the only matter of grave doubt related to it's termination.
 Then they struck the water. It was not more than two feet deep, but the extra resistance it caused and the ex- tra alarm it excited in the horses re- suited in breaking the lariat. Dave chung fast to his team and they were soon brought to a standstill. Having pacified them, he tied them to a post and returned to the stream. The car sat in the middle; the girl had put her feet on the seat beside her, and the swift water flowed by few inches be- low. She was laughing merrily when Dave, very wet in parts, appeared on the bank.
 "Well, I'm not wet, except for a lit tie splashing," she said, "and you are. Does anything occur to you?'
 Without reply he walked stolidly in- to the cold water, took her in his arms and carried her ashore. The lariat was soon repaired and the car hauled to the ranch buildings without further mishap.
 Later in the day he said to her: "Can you ride?"
 Some" she answered. 'T have rid den city horses, but don't know about these ranch animals. But would like to try-if I had a saddle"
 'I have an extra saddle" he said. ".[-,ut it's a mans. They all ride that way here"
 She made TO answer and the subject was dropped for the time. But the next morning she saw Dave ride away,

you cOulu make more money rlQlng for city people to look at than most of those learned fellows, with letters af- ter their names like the tail of kite, will ever see. But wouldn't like you to make it that way. There are more useful things to do."
 He was comforted by this speech, but he referred to his accomplishments modestly. "Ridin' an shootin' ain't nothin'," he said.
 "Pm not so sure," she answered. 'sFather says the day is coming when our country will want men who can shoot and ride more than it will want lawyers and professors"
 "Well, when it does it can call on me-" he said, and there was the pride in his voice which comes to boy wao feels that in some way he can take a mans place in the world. "Them is two things I sure can do."
 Years later she was to think of her remark and his answer, consecrated then in clean red blood.
 They talked of many things that af- ternoon, and when at last the length ening shadows warned them it was time to be on the way they rode long distances in silence. Both felt a sense which neither ventured to express that they had travelled very close in the world of their hopes and sorrows and desires.
 The shadows had deepened into darkness, and the infinite silence of the hills hung about them as they dropped from their saddles at the Elden door. A light shone from within, and Doctor Hardy, who was now able to move about with the aid of a homemade crutch, could be seen setting the table, while MT. Elden stirred a composition on the stove. They chatted as they worked, and there was something of the joy of little children in their com panioIship. The young folks watched for a moment through the window, and in Dave's heart some long-forgotten emotion moved momentarily at the sight of the good-fellowship prevailing in the old house. Irene, too, was think ing; glimpses of her own butlered home, and then this background of primal simplicity, where the old cow man cooked the meals and the famous specialist set the plates on the bare board table, and then back of 1t all her mother, sedate and correct, and very much shocked over this mingling of the classes.
 "Well, you youngsters must have this country pretty we'll explored" said Doctor Hardy, as they entered the house. "Where was it today-the prairies, the foothills or the real fel- lows behind?"
 "The canyon up the river" said the eats? Gee I'm hungry! Getting pretty supple, Daddykins, aren't you"
 "Yes, an I'm sorry for it, miss," said the old rancher, mot wishin' him any harm, or you, neither. We was jus talkin' it over, an your father thinks he's spry enough for the road again. Ain't ever goin' te be like it used to be after he's gone, an you."

What do you say, girl?" he asked, as he rested an arm on her round, firm shoulder and looked with fatherly fondness into the fine brown of her face.

 ''It's strad-legger," he said when he drew up beside Irene, "but it's a girls I couldn't find anythin' else in the whole diggin's."
 "Pm sure it will do-splendidly-if can just stick on," she replied. But another problem was already in her mind. It apparently had not occurred to Dave that women require special clothing for riding, especially if it's a "strad-legger." She opened her lips to mention this, then closed them again. He had been to enough trouble on her account. He had already spent whole day securing the country for saddle She would manage some way.

whole villages where the sole sub
eistence Of the population consisted Of
cabbage roots, beetA and grass. In the
