sufficient value to be published they worthy of being
paid for any other advertisement. The Board could
with equal propriety ask the farmer to donate part Of
his crops the merchant part of his Stock to ask th9

Governments propaganda is worth publishing It is worth
paying for. We draw the line at free publicity.

express the eXuberance of his feelings
at this return to civilization, and an
nounce his arrival, Shelby whipped out
his gun and began shattering the at
mosphere, driving, the animals frantic
as the sharp reports rang out over
their backs.
But If any sensation was expected
1t signally failed to materiallze. Ponca
remained deserted, and unimpressed
Long experience had either rendered
the inhabitants Indifferent to such a
display, or else the town had gone
utterly dead. The silence and descla-
tiOn caused Shelby to utter an oath,
and suddenly swing his team up to a
hitching rack in front of Mccarthy
saloon, the door of which stood in
willingly open. An instant the per.
picked driver sat there, staring grim.
ly about from end to end of the de.
serted street.

erect nevertheless, and strobe up the
saloon steps and in through the Oper

and this strange lack of interest or

already considerably chilled his en-
thusiasm. Once inside, he stopped
staring about in even deeper perpleX

empty Of patrOns-the tables were un

of the long bar. and no sound of voices
or of poker chips came down from the

CHAPTER |.
Return Of the Wandere

N Return OF the Wanderer.
Shelby, alone in the blackboard,
drove to the summit of the ridge, halt
ing the broncs, as his eyes swept over
the scene outspread below. The ami
: mails, their dusty sides streaked with
! sweat, stopped willingly after their
slxty-mile trip from the Cottonwood.
Below was deep, narrow valley,
in the midst Of which Ponca spread
out along the bank Of the creek that
gave the town its name. To Shelby,
wepried with the dull plains, here was
a scene Of beauty.
Just beyond there was life, fresh,
luxuriant, sweet; running water, lusci-
Ous green grass, and above all, that
Which he craved most, human COM
partnership. TO be sure, he knew
POpca of old, and possessed no illu-
sions. Ugly dirty, unkempt, Ponca
made no pretense to either cleanll-
ness, or responsibility; 1t possessed
no pride. no hope of future. 1t
seemed to recognize its destiny, and
be content, mere mushroom town of
the, frontier, an adjunct Of the cattle
trade, permitted to flourish today, but
as certainly doomed to perish tomor-
row.
Tile man who sat there on the ridge
gazing down, the reins held idly in
his hand, his eyes following the wind
ing of the valley, was perfectly nat
ural part Of the plcture-he belonged.
Beneath the tan and dust was a
smoothly shaven face, face Of
twenty-five, or twenty-six, the features
strong, nose somewhat prominent, lips
firm and full, with dark-gray eyes
shadowed by heavy lashes. In truth,
he appeared all man, a certain reck-
less gayety about him not to be mis-
/ taken, yet as evidently not to be light
ly taken advantage of.
1T certainly beats H." he NUT
tered, uncOnsciously aloud, that O
man should dream about visiting O
dump like this. Shows what sort o.
place Cottonwood is to make fellow
homesick for POnca. Town looks
kinder dead; no cattle in the corrals
HI, what's the difference? There'lI

trail in places barely wide enough fol
