CHAPTER q
AZ tho Roundup Club.


A big game had been In progress all
night at the Roundup club. Now the
garish light OF day streamed through
the windows, but the electric cluster
still flung down Cts yellow glare upon
the table. The men were in their
shirtsleeves. Big broad-shouldered fei-
lows they were. with the marks OF the
outdoors hard-riding West upon them.
No longer young. they were still full
of the yigor and energy OF unnagging
strength. From bronzed faces looked
steady unwinking eyes with humorous
creases around the corners. hard eyes
that judged a man and his claims
shrewdly and with good temper. Most
of them had made good In the land.
and their cattle fed upon a thousand
hills. sg.
The least among them physically
was Luck Culllson. yet he was their
recognized leader. There was some
innate quality In this man with the
gray, steel-chilled eyes that marked
him as FIRST In whatever company he
chose to frequent. A good friend and
good foe, men thought seriously be-
fore they opposed him. He had made
himself a power In the Southwest be-
cause he was the type that goes the
limit when aroused.
While Alec Flandrau shufied and
dealt. the players relaxed. Cigars
were relit, drinks ordered. Conversa-
tion reverted TO the ordinary topics
that interested Cattleland. The price
OF cows. the good rains, the time of
the fall roundup, were touched upon.
The door opened to let IN new
conner. slim. graceful man much
younger than the others present, and
one whose costume and manner
brought additional color into the pic
ture. Flandrau, senior. continued 10
shuttle without turning his head. Gull
lison also had his back TO the door,
but the man hung his broad-rimmed
gray hat on the rack-beslde an ex-
actiy similar one that belonged 10 the
owner OF the Circle C-and moved
leisurely forward till he was within
range OF his vision.
Going 20 prove up soon on the Del
Orc claim of yours. LuckY' asked
Flandrau.
He was now dealing. his eyes on
the cards. so that he missed the EN-
barrassment I'm the faces Of those
about him.
ION Thursday. the irst day the law
allows" Cullison answered quietly.
Flandrau chuckled. II reckon Cass
Fendrick will be some sore"
Something In the strained silence
struck the dealer as unusual. He
looked up and showed n momentary
confusion.
didn't know you were there. Cass.
Looks like put my foot In II sure
that time. l ce'tainly thought you
were an absentee" he apologized.
"Or you wouldn't have been talking
about me-" retorted Fendrick acidly.
The diamond drill., 1920-02-28


You'll guess your man wrong, or he'll
be one glass drunker than you figure
on. and then he'll plug you through
and through"
The man that takes chances lives
longest, Mac" his friend replied, dis.
missing the subject carelessly. "Pm
going TO tuck away about three hours
Of sleep. SO long" And with a nod
he was gone TO his room.
"All the same Luck's too derned
rash" Flandrau commented. "And he
hadn't ought to be sitting In these big
games. He's hard up. Owes good
bit here and there. Always was a
spender. First thing he'll have to sell
the Circle @ to square things. He'll
pay us this week like he said he would.
That's dead sure. But swear don't
know where he'll raise the price.
Money Is so tight right now"
That afternoon Luck called at every
bank in Saguache. All OF the bankers
knew him and were friendly to him.
but in spite Of their personal regard
they could DO nothing for him.
"It's this stringency, Luck" Jordan
OF the Cattlemen's National explained
to him. I'D let you have IL II dared.
Why, we're running close to the wind.
Public confidence is a mighty tIcklsh
thing. III / didn't have twenty thou

"Yes. Don't mention II to anyone.
That twenty thousand would come

country these times"
at would come right handy 10 me-"
Luck laughed ruefully. "I need every
cent OF It. After the beef roundup I'll
be on Easy street. hut It's going TO be
hard shedding to keep going till then"
"Youfl make n turn somehow. II
will work out. Maybe when money
isn't so tight I'll be able to do some
thing for you"
Luck returned 10 the hotel morosely
and tried TO figure a way out OF his
difficulties He was not going to be
beaten He never hid accepted defeat.
He would not lose out after all these
years Of lighting. IL had been his des-
perate need OF money that had made
him sit In last nights poker game But
he had succeeded only In making
bad situation worse. He knew his
debts by heart, but he jotted them
down on the back or an envelope and
added them again.

thoughts Of many designers this sea-

from capes to negligees. In the soft.
sheer materials, the thin, supple silks

have managed them cleverly. In

DESIRABLE HENS TO RETAIN
On Most Farms Size of Flock Could
Well Be Observation-Disclosures Is
Very Important

The average farmer might find II
desirable to increase the size Of the
flock Of hens. While most farmers
have little time TO devote TO poultry
raising, yet their families may attend
to the fowls and see that they are well
cared for and protected
The usual advice" to poultry raisers
to begin with a few hens is sound But
on most farms the women and girls
have had the responsibility Of the flock
for years and most of them could well
afford TO increase the number of lay
ing hens.
Range is very important for poultry
But range alone is not enough The
fowls must have feed and shelter when
they need them.
When one is about to increase the
number of hens it is well to see that
those kept are worth keeping. Poor
hens are not an asset; they are gen.
orally a liability.

without plaitlngs are ser on at each
side. They are something like saddle
bag pockets, with rounded flaps, and
they hang as If separate from the

Accordion plating has been chosen by
the designer of the plaid silk skirt
and he has shown his independence Of
any other material in this model. It
sets close to the figure and this, with
its girdle Of silk with fat hanging ends
at the front, somehow suggests an
Egyptian Inspiration. The sash ends
are folded over the belt and gathered
into silk ornaments at the bottom.
