CHAPTER v
In the Bed Of the Creek.


Sandy was minded to get back to
the ranch as soon as possible with his
winnings. Five thousand for Molly,
five thousand for the Three Star,
that was the agreement, the custom,
and he knew the girls breed we'll
enough to have no hesitation in MAX
Ing the split as he would with q man.
The next thing to do was to pick out
a school for her. There Sandy was
at loss. He mulled 1t over as he
rode, his outer senses playing senti-
nels to his consciousness.
Sandy could not quite gauge Plim-
SOILS actions in tamely paying over
the winnings and he looked and lis
tened, noting every movement of

him, for some sign Of alarm-perhaps

The ponies struck the loosened
planks Of the bridge clop-clop, spring
Ing forward into gallop as their
riders touched heels to f1anks. The
pinto was the quicker to get into his
stride. Just past the center Of the
bridge Sam saw Sandy's mount jump
like startled cat into the air. He
saw Sandy plant in his seat, marked
against the starry sky. Then came
a squirt of red flame from the far
bank-to the right-another-and an
other-from the left. A bullet hummed
by him and his own horse slid stiff

Plimsoll threw glance at the man

For a moment the two men fought
a pitched battle with their eyes. 1t
was warfare that Sandy BOurke

glance often saved him the lead In his

Meaning Sam here?'
All three laughed for mutual
clearance Of the situation. Sandy had
said what he wanted and knew that
PlimsOll interpreted 1t correctly.
They went into the back room ami
cably. Plimsoll left them and went
back to a table near the door, where
his chair was turned down at a game
Of draw. He started talking in low
tone to man seated next to him.
The first interest of their entrance
soon died out. Sim Hahn, the dealer
at faro, went on imperturbably sliding
card after card out of the case, and
the players shifted their chips about
the layout or nervously shuffied them
between the fingers Of one hand.
Sam nudged Sandy, speaking out
Of the corner of his mouth words that
no one else could catch. 1.-The hombre
PlimsOlrs talkin' to Is Butch Par
sons He's the killer Brady hired over
to the M-BarM to chase Off the
nesters."
Sandy said nothing, did not move.
AS the play began he turned and
looked at the "killer" who had been
named Butch" after he had shot
two heads Of families that had pre-
empted land on the range that Brady
claimed as part Of his holding. What
ever the justice Of that claim, 1t was
generally understood that Butch had
killed In cold blood. Brady's political
pull smothering prosecution and in
quiry. Butch had hawkish nose and
outcurving chin. He was practically
bald. Reddish eyebrows struggled
sparsely above pale blue eyes, the
color Of cheap graniteware. He
packed a gun, well back Of him, as
he sat at the game. Meeting Sandy's
lightly passing gaze, Butch sent out
pun OF smoke from his half-finlshed
cigar. The pale eyes pointed the
action. 1t might have been a chal-
lenge, even a covert insult. Sandy ig-
nored it, devotlng his attention to the
case-keeper.
In twenty minutes Sam borrowed
a stack from Sandy's steadily accu-
winnings and departed for
the craps table. He wanted quicker
action than faro gave him. Luck
firted with him. never entirely de-
serting him. And Sandy won until
the news Of his luck spread through

nesday night when Father Thomas
J. S. McGrath. ST., gave sermon on
The Ideal Catholic Married Man."
Father McGrath divided his sermon
in three parts, Catholic, married and
man. Father McGrath said that an
ideal husband strives ever to foster the
seed of love.
He said that the ideal married man
will not fail TO pay the same atten-
ton after marriage that he gave be-
fore the wedding and hence will leave
and enter the home with kiss; will
come home after working hours are
over and not make his home place
for parking his golf sticks and taking
an occasional meal.
AS a further means of keeping this
first love he makes his wife his conf
dant, the priest said, and keeps mo Sc
crets from her; she shares in all his
pleasures and they approach their re-
ligious duties side by side. He also
drove home the necessity of being I'M
selfish and scathed those unfaithful
husbands who, while deceiving their
wives at home, find comfort in the
company of an affinity.

KING TUT AWAKENED
AND PAYS VISIT TO

Many Interesting "ReIics''
Are Brought Forth
From His Tomb.

King Tut-AnkAmen, famous Egyp-
tian pharoah, dead 5000 years, lived
again, Wednesday-for about 80 min
utes.
The reincarnation was accomplish
ed at the luncheon of the Lions Club
at the Gunter after the "royal num-
my" had been brought from the
tomb" in the valley of the Kings"
by an expedition" headed by Lord
Lovus and other celebrated "Archaeo-
ioglsts and Psychologists. King Tut
expressed great dissatisfaction at be-
ing so rudely awakened after 80 cen
turtles OH peaceful slumber. Many
priceless relics" also were discovered.
The Reincarnation of King Tut
Ank-Amen," was presented by mem
bers of the Lions Club under the
auspices of ]. Wylie King. 1t was
realistic in every respect.
Promptly at / o'clock. Lord Lovus
ordered two "paraschites, TIA
Hokes and ANNA Spuffer, to enter
the Inner chamber" and bring forth
the relics. A bottle of sacred
water" was the first object produced.
Imuh-Kid-Dar, chief archaeologist,
partook OF the liquid and promptly
saw double. Heeza Fak-Aar took a
drink and was likewise affected.
The next object brought forth was
a stone which was declared to be the
gall stone of Joseph after cxamina-
ton under the glass by Imuh-Kid-
Aar However. Heeza Fak-Aar took
exception to this belief, maintaining
that the object was n prune grown
more than 1000 years ago.
AT the command of Lord Lows.
.loseph's "bones" were brought forth.
These were promptly identified.
Other objects found in the tomb
included several scrolls containing
valuable historical data" One
scroll told of the organizat ton of the
original Lions Club 1000 years ago
at Cairo, with King Tut as the first
president. Still another scroll con-
tanned writings about Noah and the
monkey law. 1t was first thought
That the latter scroll was poll tax re-

later proved incorrect.

Montreal, March 22.-Canada is

So much so that all titles, honors,
decorations and awards from foreign
governments are taboo.
The situation was brought keenly
Ito the attention of Canada today
when DIR. III. Ashton of the British
Columbia University, was forbidden to
accept the decoration of the Legion
of Honor from France, in recognition
of his work on French literature.
The award would carry with it no
little, yet doughty champions. of the
awards bill have informed the distln-
Eguished Canadian that Legion OF
Honor and democratic principles do
not conform.
As far back as 1918 legislators de-
Ebated the question of recognition of

with whetted appetites. The result
Has.tbat they spent the whole. OF two
sitSfhgs discussing and revolving the
report of a committee which advised
that the King should be petitioned to
"refrain from comforting any title OF
honor or titular distinction upon any
of his subjects domiciled or ordinarily
resident in Canada"
The resolution was adopted but
this year the title baiters have been
accused of dragging the old dead
horse into the assembly and flogging

When the titles resolution was

those should not be excepted. Cana
