at sunrise and return at sundown. !.
The next day they shall do the same
with the rife. 1t is enough for today"
The first snow fell that night, and
at dawn the two lads started out
each with a bow and dozen arrows
ErSkine's woodcraft had not suffered
and the nights story of the wilderness
was as plain to his keen eyes as
printed page. For two hours he
tramped swiftly, but never sign Of
deer, elk, bear or buffalo.
And then an hour later he heard a
snort from thick copse and the crash
of an unseen body in flight through
the brush. and he loped after its
tracks.
Black Wolf came in at sunset with a
bear cub which he had found feeding
apart from its mother. He was trium-
phant, and Crooked Lightning was
scornful when White Arrow appeared
empty-handed His left wrist was
bruised and swollen, and there was a
cash the length of his forearm.
"Follow my tracks back" he said,

whoop two Indians bounded away and

row, "and killed him with the knife.
He horned me- and went into his
tent.
The bruised wrist and wounded fore
arm made no matter, for the rife was
the weapon next day-hut White Ar
row went another way to look for
game. Each had twelve bullets. Black
Wolf came in with deer and one bull
let. White Arrow told them where
they could find deer, bear, buff
falo and an elk, and he showed eight
bullets in the palm Of his hand. And
he noted now that the Indian girl was
always an intent observer Of each CON

awhile in his tent, and then secretly to

He claimed that the Great Spirit had
made revelations to him alone What
manner OF man was he, questioned the
boy-did he have ponies and pelts and
jerked meat?

has only a wife and children and the
tribe feeds him."

The chief shook his head.
Crooked Lightning has found much
favor with him, and in turn with the
others, so that I have not thought it
wise to tell Crooked Lightning that he
must go. He has stirred up the young
men against me-and against you.
They were waiting for me to die" The
boy looked thoughtful and the chief
waited. He had not reached the aim
Of his speech and there was no need
to put it in words, for White Arrow
understood.
81 will show them," he said quietly.
When the two appeared outside,
many braves had gathered, for the
whole village knew what was in the
wind. Should it be a horse race first?
Crooked Lightning looked at the boys
thoroughbred and shook his head
Indian ponies would as well try to out
run an arrow, bullet, hurricane.
A foOt-race? The old chief smiled
when Crooked Lightning shook his
head again-no, brave in the tribe even
could match the speed that gave the
lad his name. The bow and arrow,
the rife, the tomahawk? Tomahawks
and bows and arrows were brought
out. Black Wolf was half a head
shorter, but stocky and powerfully
built. White Arrows sinews had
strengthened, but he had scarcely used

the tribe. He had the power but not
the practice, and Black Wolf won
with great ease. When they came to

Farm Equipment
Attract R0ncherS

Ranchers are ready and willing to
paw market prices for improved
farming equipment of all kinds. This
is the opinion of O. s. Stapley who
has stores in the principal cities Of
the Salt River Valley. AS one proof
of this he cites the interest which
has been aroused by the introduce
ton of the "Cultipacker" here.
'While this is not season to in
terest the rancher in experiments
which may prove expensive to him
the fact remains that the rancher is
lust as ready today as he ever was
TO accept and put into use any real
improvements in the farm equipment
line" Mr. Stapley explained. The
"Cultipacker" packs soil holds moist
ure and gives other service conduct
i've to better crops.
Tractors and trucks are also NOV
ing from sales floors onto the ranches
at a very satisfactory rate, accord
ing to Mr.. Stapley. He explained
that farm machinery this year is
more practical and that superfluous
features have been eliminated. which
adds to the simplicity of operation.
Farmers can handle all the late
model machinery without the as
sistance of a mechanic was Mr..
Stapley's comment.
