 Different with your boys, sir"
 "So the boys are little excited, are thew"
 '"rhey were last night anyhow" Curly answered, with glimmer of smile.
 Cullison looked quickly at Maloney and then at his daughter.
 ''Tli listen to what you've been hid- ing from me-" he told them.
 "Oh, the boys had notions. Miss Kate argued with them and they saw things different" the Bar Double M rider explained
 But Culrison would not let it go at that. He made them tell him the whole story. When Curly and Maloney had finished he buried his daughters little hand in his big brown fist. His eyes were dancing with pride, but he gave her not a word of spoken praise
 Kate spoke to Curly. "Father wantsI me to tell you that we don't blame youI for shooting at him. We understand just how it was. Your friend got eX cited and shot as soon as he saw heE ' was surrounded. We are both veryI sorry he was killed. Father could notI stop the boys in time. Perhaps you re- member that he tried to get you toI surrender"
 The rustler nodded. "Yes, heard| him holler to me to put my gun down, but the others blazed away at me-"
 "And so you naturally defended yourself. Father wants it made clear that he feels you could have done noth- ing else."
 "Much obliged. I've been sorry ever since l hit him, and not only on my own account"
 ''Then none of us need to hold hard feelings" The girl looked at her fa- ther, who answered her appeal with a grim nod, and then she turned again to the young rustler little timidly. II wonder if you would mind if I asked you question"
 You've earned the right to ask as many as you like"
 "It's about We have been told you know the man they call Soapy Stone. Is that true?"
 Flandrau's eyes took on stony look. It was as if something had sponged alE the boyishness from his face. Still try ing to get him to give away his part ners in the rustling, were they? Well, he would show them he could take his medicine without sQuealing.
 Your boys were asking that Ques- ton about Soapy last night. They had rope round my neck at the time. Nothing unfriendly in the matter. of course. Just casual interest in my doings."

 "We got him double cinched."
 ''Then let the law put him in prison" " "He shot yore paw" Buck reminded her.
 "Is that why you're doing it?"
 "Yes'm." and That's why" they nodded.
 Like flash she took advantage of their admission. "Then I've got more against him than you have. and I say turn him over to the law"
 Kite pushed forward. rough and overbearing "Now see here. We know what we're doing and we know why we're doing 1t. This ain't any busi- ness for a girl to mix in. You go back to the house and nurse your father that this man shot"
 ''So it isn't the kind of business for

 At that an amused laugh rippled out. It came from Maloney. He was leaning against the door jamb with his hands in his pockets. Nobody had no- ticed him before. He had come in after the girl. When Curly came to think it over later, if he had been given three guesses as to who had told Kate Cullison what was on the pro- gram he would have guessed Maloney each time.

Through you. And right now.
 A dozen times during the evening Curly had crushed down the desire to beg for mercy, to cry out desperately for them to let him off. He had kept telling himself not to show yellow, that it would not last long. Now the fear of breaking down sloughed from his soul. He rose from the bed and looked round at the brown faces cir cled about him in the shine of the lamps.
 "1'll not tell you thing-not a thing"
 He stood there chalk-faced, his lips so dry that he had to keep moistening them with the tip of his tongue.
 Dutch had new rope in his hand with loop at one end. He tossed it over the boys head and drew it taut. Two or three of the faces in the circle were almost as bloodless as that of the prisoner, but they were set to see the thing out.
 twill you tell now?" Bonfils asked.
 Curly met him eye to eye. "No."
 Come along, then"
 One of the men caught his arm at the place where he had been wounded. The rustler f1inched.
 Careful, Buck. Don't you see you're hurting his bad arm?" Sweeney said sharply.
 "I didn't aim to hurt him." Buck de- tended himself.
 Curlys senses had never been more alert. He noticed that Buck had on a red necktie that had got loose from his shirt and climbed up his neck. It had black polka dots and was badly frayed. Sweeney was chewing tobacco. He would have that chew in his mouth after they had finished what they were going to do.
 "Ain't he the gamest ever?" some one whispered.
 The rustler heard the words and they. braced him as drink of whisky spree.
 Better do it at the cottonwoods down by the creek" Buck told BOnfils in a low voice.
 The foreman of the Bar Double M moved his head in assent. All right Let's get it over quick as we can."
 A sound of flying feet came from outside. Some one smotherea an oath of surprise Kate Cullison stood in the doorway. all out of breath and panting.

 They had not a word to say for themselves. In that room were some of the most callous hearts in the ter ritory. Not one man in million could have faxed them, but this slender girl dumfounded them. Her gaze set tied on Buck. His wandered for help to Sweeney, to Jake to Kite Bonfils.

DESIGNATING A GRAVE.

One of the sorriest spectacles in the recent pot-
ical history of the United States came to an end
with the selection of J. A. Harris republican
national committeeman to succeed Jake Hamon,
deceased
of woman not his wife. The wife and children
resided in Illinois.
The dishonered wife fastened to Oklahoma to
claim the property and political succession to the
millionaire politician. She announced that her
election to succeed her husband national commit
teeman would be the greatest monument which
his friends could provide.
This good but misguided, woman was the
victim of her husbands political friends who hoped
through her to dominate political patronage in
oklahoma To accomplish this end they forced
the tearing Of the mantle of silent charity from
her deceased husband To fight Mrs Hamon it was
necessary to expose the record of the dead Ilamon
These false friends forced this woman, who
should have been in retirement into the lme-light
of bitter political squabble before the body of
her dead husband had been buried.
It has been settled by the selection of Mr.. Har-
ris. There is to be no succession by inheritance in
Oklahoma politics, it seems.
Had Mrs. Hamon not been a candidate to
succeed her husband, much of dscredit to his
memory would have been repressed and the SYM
pathy for his widow would not have been turned
into scorn.
Rattling a dead mans bones proved a failure
in this instance. The instigators of this contemp-
tibe conspiracy, ignoring it did the welfare of
the widow, should consider themselves sngingly

CLASSIFY YOURSELF,

There three classes of political opinion in
New Mexico today regarding the economic side of
state politics These cassificatons should be kept
clearly in mind when you hear talk. To be
able to properly appraise the speaker will aid in
weighing the merits of his argument.
First there is the who believes in special
privilege. He feels that successful business
man is a favorite of the gods He is that
other men created to work for the prosperity
of the business man" The enactment of laws
granting special favors and immunities is quite the
proper thing The arrangements this group have
set up to pour wealth into their Golfers at the
pense Of others must not be disturbed. The man
who protests is menace and dsturber. Having
created status quo favorable to themselves they
insist upon the maintenance of the status quo.
There is a second class who believe that prop
erty is without any rights whatever These believe
in class advantage us completely the first group
we have mentioned. Lack of strength enough to
accomplish II is the only thing which restrains
them from prying up the stone of in

So horns were footed, whistles

Suddenly out from the bush ran
the Fuzzy Fox, sort of limping on
the paw that had been used to
break Curly's drum.
There he goes! We scared
him!" squealed the piggie boy.

And sure enough, the Fox was
frightened and ran away.

And when the bunny gentleman

WOMEN AND DOMESTIC SERVICE.

Women and girls to dislike domestic serv-
ice. They will take factory jobs paying but little
more in cash than the household worker gets, and
then pay board out of this wage while the house
maid gets her room and food for nothing. Some of
them entertain the idea that social discredit at
taches to pots and pans, Also they enjoy hitting
typewriters in pleasant Offices, and coming into
association with good looking men,
There are other reasons for the unpopularity of
housework. Its hours frequently are long and ir-
regular. The girl who has to toll from 6 a. m. to
p. m, with considerable work Sunday, looks
longingly to factory hours Sensible girls forget the
alleged social stigma when the hours are made to
compare with office work.
Give bright girl a pleasant room, and the
privilege of assocatng with the family at least
meal each day. and many of them would feel
differently.
