Loose Threads.

Loose Threads.
Those who knew about Sans share
In the planning of the Tin Cup hold
up kept their mouths close. All Of the
men implicated in the robbery were
dead except Dutch. Culhson used his
influence to get the man q light SEN
tence, for he knew that he was not a
criminal at heart. In return Dutch
went down the line without so much
as breathing Sans name.
Luck saw to 1t that Curly got all
the credit OF frustrating the outlaws in
their attempt on the Flyer and Of cap
turing them aeterward. In the story
of the rescue Of Kate he played up
Flandrau's part In the pursuit at the
expense OF the other riders. For Sep
tember was at hand and the young
man needed all the prestige he could
get. The district attorney had no
choice but to go on with the case Of
the State versus Flandrau on charge
Of rustling horses from the Bar Double
N. But public sentiment was almost
a unit in favor Of the defendant.
The evidence OF the prosecution was
not so strong as It had been. All Of
his accomplices were dead and one of
the men implicated had given 1t out in
his last moments that the young man
was not party to the crime. The
man who had owned the feed CORA!
had sold out and gone to Colorado.
The hotel clerk would not swear posi-
lively that the prisoner was the man
he had seen with the other rustIers.
Curly had one important asset no
jury could forget. It counted for q
good deal that Alec Flandrau, Billy
Mackenzie, and Luck Cullison were
known to be backing him. but 1t was
worth much more that his wife Of
week sat beside him In the courtroom.
Every look and motion of the girl-wife
radiated love for the young scamp
who had won her. And since they
were tender-hearted old frontiersmen
they did not intend to spoil her joy.
Moreover. society could afford. to take
chances with this young fellow Flan-
drau. Long before they left the box
each member of the Jury knew that he
was going to vote for acquittai.
It took the jury only one ballot to
dnd a verdict OF not guilty. The
Judge did not attempt to stop the up
roar OF glad cheers that shook the
building when the decision was read.
He knew It was not the prisoner so
much they were cheering as the brave
girl who had sat so pluckily for three
days beside the husband she had made
a man.
From the courtroom Curly walked
out under the blue sky of Arizona
free man But he knew that the best
Of his good fortune was that he did not
go alone. For all the rest Of their
lives her firm little steps would move
beside him to keep him true and
steady. He could not go wrong now,
for he was anchored to a responsibility
that was continual JOY and wonder
70 him.

WINTER GOOSE FEEDS
OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Oats Are Considered Superior to
Corn for Grain.
Like Cows the Fowls Need Plenty Of
Fodder and They Will Eat SiIage
and Gather Considerable Food
From Corn Fodder

Oats are better grain feed than
corn for carrying the geese through the
winter. Corn should be used sparing-
ly as geese fatten easily and If the
birds are Overfat the eggs will show a
low percentage of fertility.
Geese are much like cows in needing
plenty of fodder. The clover chaff
gathered from around the hangers is
relished by geese. They will eat -silage
and gather considerable food from
corn fodder. In fact, any green food
that is suitable for dairy cows helps
out in the winter ration of the flock.
