 Buck escorted his prisoner over to the ranch messhouse. The others had finished breakfast but Maloney was still eating. His mouth was full of hot cakes, but he nodded across at Curly in a casual friendly way.

 Twenty-one usually looks on the cheerful side of life. Curly had for gotten for the moment about what had happened to his friend Mac.

 "Yep."
 "Too bad. If they hadn't I could have proved by them l was not one of the men who sold them the stock" Flandrau replied.

 Cullison spoke. "Sit down, Dick. And to his prisoner: You too"
 Flandrau saw close at hand for the first time the man who had been Ari zona's most famous fighting sheriff Luck Cullison was well-built and ot medium height, of dark complexion clean shaven. wiry and muscular. Al ready past fifty, he looked not day more than forty. One glance was enough to tell Curly the kind of mar this was. The power of him found ex pression in the gray steel-chilled eyes that bored into the young outlaw. "You have begun early, young fel low" he said quietly. "But never mind that. don't ask you to convict your self sent for you to tell you don't blame you for this" He touched the wound in his side.

She was taking their assent for granted. Now she waited and gave lhem a chance to chorus their agree ment None of them spoke except Ma loney. Most of them were with her in sympathy but none wanted to be first in giving way.
 She looked around from one to an other, still cheerful and sure of her ground apparently. Two steps brought her directly in front of one. She caught him by the lapels of his coat and looked straight into his eyes. You have changed your mind, haven't you. Iake?'
 The big Missourian twisted his hat in embarrassment.

 "Then you won't hurt him? You won't stand by and let the other boys do it?"

 She burst into sudden tears. "I thought you were my friend, but now I'm in trouble you-you think only of making it worse"
 Jake gave in immediately and the rest followed like a flock of sheep. Two or three of the promises came hard, but she did not stop till each one individually had pledged himself The young man she had saved could not keep his eyes from her. He would have liked to kneel down and kiss the edge of her dress and put his curly head in the dust before her. The ice in his heart had melted in the warmth of great emotion. She was standing close to him talking to Buck when he spoke in low voice.

 him, and her voice was like the drench of an icy wave.
 But when she saw the hurt In his eyes she hesitated. Perhaps she guessed that he was human after all, for an impulse carried her forward to take the rope from his neck. While his heart beat twice her soft fingers touched his throat and grazed his cheek Then she turned and was gone from the room.
 It was a long time before the bunk house quieted Curly, faint with weari- ness, lay down and tried to sleep His arm was paining good deal and he felt feverish. The men of the Circle c and their guests sat down and argued the whole thing over. But aft CT a time the doctor came in and had the patient carried to the house. He was put in good clean bed and his arm dressed again.
 The doctor brought him good news. "Cullison is doing fine. He ought to make it all right"
 Curly thought about the girl who had fought for his life.
 You'll not let him die, Doc" he begged.
 He's too tough for that, Luck Gull lison is"
 Presently Doctor Brown gave him . sleeping powder and left him. Soon after that Curly fell asleep and dreamed about slim dark girl with fine long-lashed eyes that could be both tender and ferocious.

Rocking Stones.

Rocking stones belong to class of freak stones, familiar to geologists. Some of these rocking stones are made so by the force of the wind which cuts the dirt or sand out from under them. They are of harder material than the dirt and stones which surround them. So the harder remains after the soft CT or shifting material has been worn away. Other rocking stones are left by the melting of glaciers.

SHIPMENTS FROM NEWARK ONLY ONES LARGE ENOUGH TO AT
 TRACT ATTENTION.
FARMERS ARE BUYING CORN
Fully One Half of Wheat Grown in Northeast and Northwest Arkan.
 sas Is Shipped Out
 As Grain.

Little Rock.-The report of the Ar kansas Cooperative Crop Reporting Service, released by Charles S. Bout. on, Field Agent, and Jim c. Ferguson. Commissioner of Agriculture, indi- cates that Arkansas farmers had on hand on March 1st 2S per cent of last years corn crop of 4S.72S 900 bushels. or about 13,643,000; that practically the only oats left were those required for seed purposes, and that the amount of wheat still left on farms reflects accurately both the decreased interest in and decreased seeding of this grain.
 The figures on land values are of especial interest, showing as they do an average rise of 66 2-3 per cent in the value of all blow lands since 1917, and of over 70 CT cent in the value of farm lands with improvements. Mir Bouton points out, however, that there has been but little advance in land values in those sections where trans ortation is difficult and restricted, or where the labor supply is drawn away
 
 tion in other lines of work. These conditions are particularly affecting the hill regions of Central and North Central Arkansas. In some of the south central counties farm land values are at present much affected by interest in oil development plans. Corn--The 1919 corn crop was quite light in much of the state. In many counties farmers are buying corn. But, for the state as a whole the re- serves are larger than exected. The mild, open winter has decreased the necessity for grain feed, and the state has had less than it's former number of hogs to feed.
 The amount shiped out of the coun- ty where grown is almost negligible. Newark, in Independence county, was the only point where shipments of corn were sufficient to attract atten- tion.
 Wheat-The State has 190, ,000 less acres than year ago. partly due to impossibility of preparing fields for seeding last fall. and partly due to poor returns per acre. Very little seed is being held over and Northeast Arkansas seems to be preparing to abandon wheat growing for time at least.
 In Northeast and Northwest Arkan- sas fully one-half of the wheat grown is shipped as grain. but in the rest of the state larger percentage. though a less volume is consumed locally. Oats-The oats reserves on March 1st were largely confined to the north west and northern sections where seeding had barely commenced. Re turns show, however, that 22 per cent of last years crop was still in the farmers hands.
 Land Values-A short study of the figures accompanying this report show that the demand for good lands is in- creasing the margin between the prices paid for poor and good blow lands. In 1917 and 1918 good blow lands were worth on the average two ad one.quarter times as much as poor plow lands were worth on the average two and one-Quarter times as much as poor blow lands. and In 1920 two and one half times as much.

It is extremely gratifying to thu
many friends of Chief Justice E. A
McCulloch to know that his re
nomination to the exalted position
he holds is practically assured. Form
all sections of the state come ex-
pressions from members of the bar
and from voters in every walk OF
life approving the splendid record
Judge McCulloch has made as head
of the Arkansas supreme court and
pledging him a practically unani-
NOUS vote in the coming primary
election.
There has been no demand for
an opposition candidate except upon
the part of two or three disgruntled
LAWYERS in Northeast Arkansas who
are responsible for the disgraceful
and shameful fiasco staged in chan
Gerry court at Lake City several
months ago when certain parties OPP
posed to the creation of road dis
trict forced the resignation Of the
commissioners by a gun display.
Because of a decision Judge McCul-
loeb rendered on the legality Of
this district he incurred the enmity
of the attorneys opposing the Gre
alton Of the district, and it was
out of this unholy alliance of crook
ed lawyer and bandit client that
the candidacy of Judge McCulloch's
opponent was born. The scheme
to prostitute the judiciary of the
state and control decisions through
threats of personal violence or po-
litical destruction will meet with
singing rebuke on August 10.
No clearner, purer or more con-
scientious man and few ADLER ju-
rists than Judge McCulloch have
ever graced the bench in Arkan-
sas. He can't be bribed, bought
or bulldozed. He has the respect
and confidence of every attorney
in the state who believes in fair
play and who wants to see the dig
nifty and sanctity of the states high
est judicial tribunal upheld.
The people of Lee county among
whom Judge McCulloch has lived
for many years should give him
unanimous endorsement in the pri-
mary election.

ORPHAN WAS TAGGED AND
SHIPPED LIKE DOG, CLAIM

Pine Bluff, Ark, July 22.-An
interesting fight is being waged in
circuit court here between Mrs.
Henry Rossenstein of Memphis and
Mrs. Sallie Hoover, of Lincoln coun-
ty, over the legal possession of
Zula Mae Palmertree, IL year old
orphan girl.
Some years ago when the child's
mother died in eMmphis, the girl
was thrown on the hands of friends
there and when her father died
five years ago he left her to Mr..
and Mrs. Hoover. 1t is alleged in
the testimony that when the little
girl was sent here she was tagged
and put on the train not unlike
one would ship dog. Lately
guardianship papers were obtained
by Mrs. Rosenstein who contends
that the Hoovers are not the proper
guardians for the little girl.

A JOKE WITH SIGNIFICANCE

In a speech made this week at
the Dayton County Club-the same
speech in which he denied that golf
was a rich mans game-Gov. Cox
said something which, though spoken
in jest, evidently had something of
seriousness in it and something that
should receive the attention of both
of those who like and those who do
not like a 'wet" candidate for the
presidency.
Have you noticed" he asked his
hearers, "all golfers, or almost all
golfers, that your morning game is
better than your evening game, es-
pecially since-?" Then he paused
and, as the report runs, there was
laugh, above which was heard a
deep, doleful voice, Prohibition"
1t is impossible to decide with
certainty what is to be inferred from
this as to the governors own opin-
ion as to the relation between golf
and prohibition, or rather between
prohibition and efficiency gener-
ally, but it is at least a fair deduc-
ton that he knows what careful ex-
periments and common experience
have shown as to that relation, and
that he has seen the thing illustra-
ted on the links. The man who
finished his sentence for him also
must have seen it, in spite of the
dolefulness of his tone.
The incident, therefore, is cal
culated to sadden all "wets" and
to give at least little encourage
ment to all "drys." Both of them
probably will make too much Of it,
as it is the fashion of extremists
always, but it is not without signif-
icance for either Of them.-New

GERMAN YOUTH IN TRAINING

CEkMAN YOUTH In TRAINING
walked the other day for some
20 kilometers through the country
districts between Hanau and Frank
fort, and saw for myself the muscle
making industry to which young
Germany is devoting it's time.
/ passed thousands of young Ger
mans, boys and girls, both march
ing along the road in military order,
mostly in bands of 40 to 80. All
carried knapsacks and in nearly ev-
cry case three or four had musical
instruments, most Tirolean guitars.
The usual plans is for these bands
to leave the cities on Saturday af-
ternoon and evening and camp out
for the night. Some carry small
canvas tents, something like an
American army pup tent" but most
sleep in the open air.
Both men and women are loosely
dressed, the men withoue coats, as
rule, and the women with open
bodices and no corsets. The pre-
sent a fine, healthy appearance.
The youth of Germany is now
being tauht that physical strength
is the thing most to be admired in
man, and child-bearing in woman.
The explanation generally given
for these outings, that they are the
result of pure economic causes, does
not satisfy me. When a German
says that the young people cannot
afford the pleasures of the cities,
that the only reason they march is
that they cannot pay fourth-class
train fares, and that there is no
other way in which they can obtair
an outing, ma skeptical. Germans
