Thoughts Of Plimsoll did not bother
Sandy's head. The "old man" Of the
Three Star-bearing the cowman's in
evitable title for the head Of the
management. whether young or old,
male or female-carried out his long
cherished plans for additional water
supply. for alfalfa planting. for regis
tered bulls and hIgh-grade cows. He
studied hard, he got in touch with the
state experimental developments, he
subscribed for magazines that told of
cattle breeding, he sent soils for an
alysis, and young Ed, coming home
from his first term, found, somewhat
to his .chagrin, that Sandy was far
ahead of him in both the theory and
practice Of ranching.
The days multiplied into weeks and
ceived one letter from Brandon that
seemed to presage another visit
across the line. 1t was terse. charac-
teristic of the man.
my Dear Bourke:
I'VE are still losing three and four
year-olds. and the evidence points to
their drifting over toward Plimsoll.
We have traced up some of the links
leading from this end. To be quite
frank, the authorities Of your own
county do not seem over-disposed to
bother in the matter, and we are TAX
Ing things In our own hands. We
have set trap for Jim Plimsoll and
have hopes he will walk into 1t If he
is the guilty party.

If you get wind of this wire would
be much appreciated by me.
Sincerely yours,

With the founding Of the Three
Star ranch the lives of the partners
had changed good deal. They held
responsibilities, they owned home
and they lived there. None Of them,
since they were children, had ever
known the close companionship of a
young girl. Mormon's matrimonial
adventures had been foredoomed ship
wrecks on the sands of time, his
wives marital pirates preying on his
good nature and earnings. Molly had
leavened their existences in a way
that two Of them hardly suspected,
and the yeast of affection was still
working. Each hung to the hope that
she might return to the ranch again
to stay and each felt that hope was
faint one.
When, at last, there came the news,
from Molly herself and from Mrs.
Keith, that Keith was coming out to
make inspection of his Casey Town
properties. that he was travelling in a
private car with his son, with Molly
and her governess-companlon, Miss
Nicholson, and that the two latter
would get OF at Hereford for visit
to the Three Star. Sandy went about
with whistle, Sam breathed san
guine melodies through the harmonica
and Mormon beamed all over. The
illumination was apparent. Sam told
him he looked "all lit up, like Chi
nee lantern" and Mormon beamed the
more.
Molly's letter was primed with de-
light. Mrs. Keith's contained regrets
that her physicians did not think the
journey would Ae best for her to un-
dertake in the present state of her
health. which meant that she feared
possible disco1to-ts en- route and
imagined the ranch as place where
one was fed only on beans, sour
dough bread. bull meat and indifrer-
ent coffee.

This is the eist of the dramatic
statement Of James Forbes great

Fair" recently completed in motion

James Forbes, the celebrated au-
thor of The Famous Mrs. Fair"
sums up his entire play in these
words:
"A woman actuated by duty en-
cages in war work, winning honors
and the living admiration and en-
when. on her return. she, actuated
by selfish vanity, again leaves them,

From the studios in Hollywood of
Louis B. Mayer, who presents The
Famous Mrs. Fair in pictures, comes
a summary of this Metro Louis B.

to give the essence of the drama
without vitiating interest by prema-
ture exposure of the outcome of the
story. The summary follows;
The story is what befalls the Fair
family when Mrs. Fair, returned
from Red Cross service abroad. dec
Grated and famous, is persuaded by
flattery and a. instructed sense of
duty to go on an extended lecture
tour, telling of her experiences
abroad. To her husband son and
daughter. she has merely stopped in
to say Hello" on her way from
France before embarking on new
fad.
Several months later. Mrs. Fair
returns home unexpectedly TO find
her family disintegrating. Without
the guiding motherly hand things
have gone to pieces.
Shock ed at first by the deplorable
state of affairs. she soon realizes that
her own selfish ambition is the cause
Of trouble, and she takes steps ac-
cordinsly.
The scenario OF THE Famous Mrs
