CHAPTER II

A course was chosen for the race.
From selected point the horses were
to run to a clump of mesquite, round
1t and return to the starting place.
Dug Doble was chosen both starter
and judge.
Dave watched Whisky Bill with the
trained eyes of horseman. The
animal was an ugly brute as to the
head. But in legs and body it had
the fine lines of a racer. The horse
was built for speed. The cowpunch-
er's heart sank. His bronco was
fast, but the little range pony had
not been designed to show it's heels
to near-thoroughbred
Are you ready?" Doble asked of
the two men in the saddles.
His brother said, Let 'er gor' San
ders nodded. The revolver barked.
Chiquito was off like a flash of
light, found its stride instantly. Be-
fort it had covered seventy-five yards
the pinto was three lengths to the
good. Foot by foot the distance, be-
tween the horses lessened to two
engths, to one, to half length. The
agly head of the racer came abreast
Of the cowpuncher. With sickening
certainty the range-rider knew that
his Chiqquito was doing the best that
was in it. Whisky Bill was a faster
horse
The halfway mark was just ahead.
The cowpuncher know exactly how
to make the turn with the least pos
sible loss Of speed and ground.

first shipment of sour cream from
Thomas county dairies was made here
last week and it went to Tallahassee,
where acceptable arrangements for
transportation and payments were
readily made. 1t is expected that the
growth of the industry will mean the
establishment of a creamery here in
connection with the Flowers Ice
Cream factory as soon as the supply
is sufficient to guarantee adequate
production in quantities that will
make it worth while to operate.

Making the Home Attractive

Modern Lamps Are Designed for
Different Uses-Give Care to
Their Selection,

The modern lamp has developed be-
yond the stage when any one was con-
sidsred good selection for any use.
choosing it consisted in taking the
one which best fitted into the color
scheme of the room for which 1t was
intended.
No longer may this method be en-
ployed. The first question asked the
purchaser is, For what use is the
lamp intended?" Reading or decora-
ton. bedroom or living room? For
you must know that there is much
difference in those designed for the
intimate boudoir and those intended
for the general living parts OF the
house.
Just as certain materials seem
meant for informal use and some for
formal use. SO are the modern lamps
and their shades. Take, for instance,
the doll shown In today's sketch. Her
skirts of pink taffeta soften the light
of the electric bulb concealed beneath
them and thus is it made to take its
lights. No reading may be done in
the soft glow it diffuses, but surely 1t
adds to the charm of its surroundings.
Useless? Not a bit. That which is
beautiful has a definite mission in
home decorations, and this piquant
miss with her old-time hoopskirts
not only fits in, but adds to the
atmosphere of the boudoir.
Her dainty dress. however. is not
suitable to the living room. Or II 1t
seems suitable to yours you may be-
gin to suspect that something IN

l wonder how 1t would seem to never
have to wonder where the next meal
is coming from. I'll have to visit

there was a place over there for a

Just then he remembered the stack
Of straw in Farmer Browns barn
yard from behind which he had
watched Mrs. Brown give Bowser that
