almost appalled, amazement, she
broke into a sudden laugh. NeaIe
had never heard any one laugh
like. that, almost like some one
singing, so clear and purely pro-
duced was its little trill. And yet
it had been as sudden and spon.
taneous as a gusn OF water from a
spring.
IT don't wonder you look aston
ished," she told him. But you
see when I was a little girl used
often to play in and out of old Mr..
Crittenden's house and mill. I've
never seen anything since in all
my life that seemed as wonder
full and mighty to me as the way
the saw used to gnash its teeth at
the great logs and slowly, Shrek
ingly tear them apart into boards.
Didn't you use to love the moss on
the old waterwheel, too?"
at never saw the mill or the
house. he told her. at never saw
my great-uncle but once or twice
in my life" He was too amazed
to do anything but answer her
literally and BADLY.
"Wny, how in the world .?''
she began to ask, and then as a
bell from one of the innumerable
church belfries outside began
dangerously to strike the hour, she
glanced at her wrist-watch, and
shook her head. Its breakfast
time" she said. She nodded,
smiled and turned away, stepping
down the corridor with a light,
supple gait. Neale had never seen
any one walk like that, as though
every step were in time to music.
He went back to his room to
wash his hands and brush his .
clothes, which showed signs of
contact with dusty Roman walls
and roofs. When, ten minutes
later, he went into the dining
room, five or six people were al
ready at table, Livingstone among
them. Miss Oldham, the head OF
the pension, introduced the new.
conner to the others, mentioning
names on both sides. To Neale's
surprise, Miss Allen did not ex.
plain las he had opened his mouth
to dol that she had already seer
and talked to Mr.. Crittenden that
morning.

with a loud beating flutter
and scared up into the air. Neale
threw back his head to watch it,
moved almost to a shout Of exul-
tation as the twittering flock
swooped past his head.
Then he saw that the cat was
calmly making he-c way back to
her ambush corner. Hey, there"
he shouted gaily at her, and,
sprinting along, snatched her up.
You're going back down cellar to
catch rats, kitty mio," he told her
aloud, laughing. He was aston.
ished lat his own high spirits.
High up on the richly colored old
roof, close to that glorious sun
with the swallows dashing, twit-
tering about his head, the rescued
one among them. he could have
flung his arms about and danced
for sheer Eghtness of heart.
What he did was to tuck the
protesting cat under his arm
and make his way back with con-
siderably more caution than he
had gone up. The passage along
the marrow slope of tile below the
window was worse than he bad
thought, made him a little sick
to face. A damn-fool perform

A Ridiculous. Scene.
With a short, 'quicklY.taken
breath of relief, he stepped over
the window-sill back into the cor
ridor. The men and the girl who
had been leaning tensely out,
watching him, stepped back re-
specially to give him room.
Before he could turn 20 the
girl, the servant had snatched
the cat from under his arm, and
with a fine air of virtuous indig-
nation was cutting her savage
ly over the head, pouring out on
her loud, highly-articulate flood
OF vituperation. The boy lifted
his hand to join in the game, cry

you understand" The men nodd-

rebuff, the boy motioned Ncals to
give him the cat, and carried her
off carefully down the corridor.
THAT was the very most splen-

said to him, with a soft energy
of accent.

in the air, quite out OF reach,

He tried sternly to explain his
feelings and issue his comma nds,
but as was to be expected his
italian gave away under the
strain: "Troppo in ritardo pu-

There were women-a number Of

were years, when we lived in Sac

STOCK GROWERS ASSN
TO MEET At DOUGLAS

The seventeenth annual convention
of the Arizona Cattle Growers AS
sociation will be held in Douglas on
Tuesday and. Wednesday, January 29
and 80, 1924. The time of this meet
ing will be somewhat earlier than
previous sessions as officers of the
association are 'desirous of holding
the convention as near the first of
the calendar year as possible, for the
purpose of arranging program of
work for the 1924 year.
The National Association is to meet
in Omaha on January Is to II, thus
allowing Arizona cattlemen ample
time to attend the National Conven-
ton and the resulting two weeks
prior to the state meeting in Dou-
glas.
Directing officers of the Arizona
Cattle Growers Association are now
making arrangements with Douglas
commercial bodies for the staging of
one of the most thorough and enjoy
able business meetings ever held by
cattlemen of this state.
Very few addresses to the conven-
tion will be heard for the ASSOCIATION
officers feel that a strict two day busi-
ness meeting of the cattlemen them
selves is the pressing need at this
period of the many serious problems
facing the cattlemen of the tate
today it must be provided with a
definite and concrete program of work
for each fiscal year The only man.
ner in which such years program
can be chosen is to afford the cattle
men of the state an opportunity to
appear at the yearly meetings and in
open session thrash out the problems
that are vital to their industry Thus,
in two day session very little time
can be given to addresses from visit
ing speakers.
Cattlemen are heartily endorsing
the plan of a strict business meeting,
and from the many acknowledgment
already received at the office Of the
association it is felt that all will be
tion in January.
Stockmen are anxious to lay down
program of work covering many
important needs of the big industry
of the state. Needed state legisla-
toD; reduction and a systematic
classification of taxes; forest grazing
fees and regulations; reductions in
railroad rates; a just duty in hides
and leather; assistance to the SAM
tary Board; and the financing and
marketing of cattle are the major
questions to come up at the. open ses-
sion of the Douglas meeting.
From these issues the cattlemen
will draft a program Of work for the
ensuing year A budget sufficient to
cover all of the items in the yearly
program is expected to be estimated
and adopted, SO that each stockman
of the state will at once know the
expenditures to be made by the as
sociation during the coming year.
At the conclusion of transacting
the vital business of the convention,
the delegates present will in open
session choose their officers and
Board of Directors so carry on the
adopted plan of work
With such business convention
assured, cattlemen are enthusiastic
as to the gratifying results that will
transpire at their seventeenth annual
convention in Douglas on January 29
and 80, 1924.

FORMER u. s. OFFICER
PINCHED HERE CHARGED
UNDER THE MANN ACT

Joe Rudiiff, former deputy u. S.
marshal of Oklahoma, was arrested
at Dead Mans Flat yesterday morn
ing by Under-sheriff S. 0. Thompson
charged with violation of the Mann
act and federal officer will be after
him today. M
Rudliff has the reputation Of having
killed four men. He has several bull
let scars. He. told Thompson when
arrested: II have gun" "Oh, no,
you haven't, retorted Thompson.
"You did have, but not now" Thomp-
son searched hirn as soon as be ar
rested him. "You needn't be afraid
of me-" said Rudliff "No?" querfed
Thompson. "You needn't be afraid Of
me, either, If you don't pull any wea-
pons. Otherwise you'd better be-"
Rudliff was running the seraper
with the county road. gang. He. is
alleged to have brought Mrs. A. j.
Hurd and her little daughter from
Los Vegas, New. He also has a dapgh
ter of his own. The woman was
cooking for the road gang and all
four lived at the camp.
The woman's husband arrived from
Los Vegas Wednesday. He told Dep
uty Sheriff Scanlon his troubles. The
latter advised him to see County At
torney Frank Harrison and swear out
warrant. He did.
His wife declares he failed to pro-
vide for her properly and told him
yesterday she positiveiy will not have
anything more to do with him. He
demands the custody of the three
children. The wife is a very good
looking woman, refined in manner.
Rudliff, who is about 80, is alleged to
have won her affection first by sue
cessfully treating an affection of her
face which she believes was cancer;
then by kindness.
