 Her white teeth gleamed angrily be- tween the red of her lips.

 Shelby looked frankly into the girls face, determined to risk all, suddenly convinced that this young Mexican had an interest in his answer beyond any mere curiosity.

 She nodded.

Homesteading.

HomeStedding.
 Homesteading is very arduous work if diligently pursued. I do not wish anyone to think, however, that 1 am trying to make money farming, for l am not. l am farming simply because have to farm to obtain a homestead and do not expect to make money at it. A diary of my work should prove interesting reading, however, even if my example as a farmer will not be worth following.
 Sunday, February 6, l started to Sunday school at Wye, but it was noon when l got there, and I was too tired to go farther. I have little rheumatism, just enough to affect me at the approach of storm or bad weather and that is why I got so tired. If there is a storm or cold spell on the way as bad as my feel ing was 1t certainly will be scorch. CT.
 Saturday, January 29, I got Dan McNeely to haul some lumber to floor my room and 1 worked until sundown putting 1t in. I was health fly tired, ate my supper with a good appetite, went to bed and slept we'll. Before went to bed I could hear the wolves bowling in the distance and when got up at 5 a. m. could hear them again. It was nice, sun shiny day, but the fire was tramping snow when I went to bed.
 Sunday, January 30. Weather looked very much like snow. went over to Mrs. Bones for milk. After dinner MT. Bone visited me and show ed me a never failing spring of wa ter. He approved of my selection of building site. From this site is one of the most beautiful mountain views l know of. The mountains lie in an amphitheatre to the south of me and must be seen to be appre- ciated.
 Monday, January 31. John and Dan MeNeely hauled the lumber for my new house. They only had to haul it about two miles.

 I finished cutting the briars around my house.
 When l went to move my bed Mon- day night 1 found 1t was still damp from the wetting 1t got while moving across the Maumelle river. The wa ter came almost to the top of the wagon bed, but thought I had dried 1t out. | knew that was what had given me a bad cold so kept a good fire all day Tuesday and dried it out. Keeping such hot fire all day re- suited in the heat penetrating through my Indian fireplace to the floor. slept awfully well, however, on my warm mattresses, but l awoke about l2 o'clock with my floor on fire. used up what water 1 had and went to the branch for another bucketful before l got 1t extinguished.
 The sun shown out for the first time in three days, but it cIouded up again in the night.
 Wednesday, February 2, l had to make a fire and cook breakfast out of doors. As soon as breakfast was over 1 went down to Mir. Palmers, where Dan told me 1 could get a stove, and bought a secondhand box stove. l noticed the leaves putting out on one of my rose bushes and "a fire in the bush shrub has put on red buds preparing to bloom. l am afraid if the weather continues warm that we will lose our fruit crop again. l decided 1t was time to commence gardening so 1 began to clear off a piece of ground for my Irish pota- toes. cut another road east from the house and with the rock out of it 1 made the foundation for a gar den wall.
 Thursday, February 8. There was the heaviest frost l ever saw this morning. It was equal to a light snow. thought at once of the old saw, 'Three black frosts and a rain. J But we only had one frost, and the rain came on the second night.
 This proved to be as pretty day as l ever saw and the insects before night were flying around like spring time. l was awful anxious to start to Little Rock, but l had chance to get my stove hauled up and I had to take advantage of 1t, so 1 went down to Palmer's, 1t took me exactly 30 minutes to walk there and I found that they had their team hitched up and the stove in the wagon ready to start. So l really had my walk for nothing, as the stove would have come on just the same. Mrs. Palmer came along because she wanted to see how the homesteader was mak- ing it and besides they wanted to take back load of fat pine with them. They helped me put up the stove and just as they got ready to start Mir. Brooks came up with his two dogs and Jack fish about ten inches long which he had shot in a

 That's none O your d--n business. That's where they came from, an Shelby's dead. But what I'm inter- ested in is how the h-l you got his horse"
 He dropped his gun down on the table and stared across into Shelby's imperturbable face with hard, threat ening eyes.
 "Now you look here, young fellow, you know who I am, I reckon. It's Indian Joe Laud talkin' to you. May be yer all right an maybe yer ain't 1; only l don't take no chances. Your story ain't sounded just right to me from the start, but I'll give yer a chance to prove it. ain't goin' ter plug you now; not if yer've got sense enough to behave yerself.

 All right, then. Juan, you take the gents gun; he's better off without it. That's right; now feel him over an see if he's got any other weapons. , Better stand up. Churchill"
 The ranchman. comprehending the utter futility of any attempt at resist ance, did as he was told, managing to retain the same cool smile on his lips. The murderous eyes of the squaw- man never once deserted his face and Shelby realized that the slightest symp- tom of treachery would prove his un- doing. Laud was in no mood to be argued with.

 Laud took a step forward and glanced into the apartment The swift scrutiny apparently satisfied him, for he turned to the prisoner, his revolver still grasped In readiness for instant action.
 "Go on in," he commanded harshly. "An' tomorrow we'll settle this case"
