i search to find out what It was
Two hours later they came upon n
little log cabin. they nearc the same
thing that the other man heard, or
rather we Will call him Bill" The
first thing that they did was to
circle around the house. after this
was done there were five men left
and they prepared to enter. on en-
tering they found two negroes in the
cabin. "Rill" being at the head OF

how this happened. He found the
mule at the instant the RATHER sank his
fangs into the tongue and as the mule
raised its head it brought the snake,
holding tight, from the ground. Quick
action was necessary. and Scotty cut
off the mules tongue and saved it
death under the fig tree. Scotty had
his own blacksmithing outfit for the
mules, and he had them all newly
shod for the trip into the mountains-
perhaps to his mysterious mine.

game relics. He just says he is "all

fried chicken, the hot mashed pota-
toes and gravy, the preserved figs
and the jelly, all fit to grace the ban
quct board of the monarch Of a more
pretentious realm than Death valley,
and the picture Of Scotty as he cook
and serves in the garments Of the des-
ert, but with the skill and grace OF
dining car chef and a Waldorf hear
waiter. And there is, the new $50G
auto truck the new frame building,
and the plans for more magnificent
edifices. and Sam johnson, who runs
the truck that hauls materials tia.

All this is set in the frame Of as
free and wild all atmosphere as IS to

Scotty has big plans for his ranch
and some of these are under way.
Hundreds OF yards Of fence posts in

ready to be attached to the posts,
show that Seotty is jealous Of his
