FARMING is POPULAR WITH
MONTANA VETERANS.

According to a report recently made
by the Helena, Montana, sub-district
office of the U. S. veterans bureau,
the black to the soil" movement has
many adherents among the disabled
veterans of the state.
This report shows that 225 dis
abled soldiers who have been approved
for vocational training have selected
some phase of agriculture for their
vocation. This is approximately one-
fifth of the entire number of men who
have accepted training.
This marked preference for agri-
culture among the veterans is prOba-
bly, due to the fact that a large pro
portion of them were farm boys be-
fore entering the army, and to their
inherent desire to control their own
activities and enjoy independence of
employment.
The average farm course is thirty
months in length and the institutional
part of the mems instruction is given
at the State Agricultural college
This is supplemented by project train
ing during the spring and summer
months on land owned by the train
ees.
If the mar is not a land owner, he
is assisted in obtaining title to a tract
that is suitable. At present large
tracts of land near Eureka, Montana
are under consideration for COLOMBIA.

and their families are already settled

Don Carlos.


Stewart took Nels, Monty and Nick
Steele aside out Of earshot, and they
evidently entered upon an earnest col
loquy. Presently the other cowboys
were called. They all talked more or
less. but the deep voice of Stewart
predominated over the others. Then
the consultation broke up. and the
cowboys scattered.
"Rustle, you Indians!" ordered
Stewart.
The ensuing scene Of action was not

They were quiet, awaiting some one
to tell them what to do. At the offset

boys spread tarpaulins upon the
ground and began to select and roll
small packs, evidently for hurried
travel. Nels mounted his horse to ride
down the trail. Monty and Nick Steele
went of into the grove, leading their
horses. Stewart climbed up a steep
tumble Of stone between two sections
Of low. cracked cliff back Of the camp.
Madeline's friends all importuned
her: Was there real dangerf Were
the guerrillas comingi Would a start
be made at once for the ranchf Why
had the cowboys suddenly become SO
different? Madeline answered as best
she gould; but her replies were only
conjecture, and modified to allay the
fears Of her guests. Helen was In a
white glow Of excitement.
Soon the cowboys appeared riding
barebacked horses. driving In others
and the burros. Some Of these horses
were taken away and evidently hidden
In deep recesses between the crags.

from the cliff. The distance was short,
and occasionally she could distinguish
a word spoken by the cowboys. They
were unconcernedly cooking and eating.
Presently Nick Steele silenced the
campfire circle by raising a warning
hand. The cowboys bent their heads,
listening. Madeline listened with all
her might. She heard one Of the
hounds whine. then the faint beat Of
horses hoofs. The beat Of hoofs grew

moved to mount.
"Nels, don't make me forget we've

"Shore I amt fergettln'," replied
Nels. "An' l resign my job right here

His strange speech checked the

down from the stirrup. Then their
hard faces were still and cold while
their eyes locked glances.
Madeline was as much startled by
NelS speech as Stewart. Quick to

sensed one that was unfathomable.

How significant was the effect Of his
words upon all the cowboys! Stewart
made fierce and violent motion, ter
rible where his other motions had been
but passionate. Monty leaped straight
up into the air In q singular action as
suggestive Of surprise a. It was Of
wild acceptance Of menace. Like q
stalking giant Nick Steele strobe over
to Nels and Stewart. The other cow
boys rose silently. without q word.
Madeline and her guests, In little
group, watched and listened. unable to
divine what all this strange talk and
action meant.
Hold on, Nels, they don't need to
hear It." said Stewart, hoarsely, as he
waved a hand toward Madelines silent
group.
"Wal. I'm sorry, but I reckon they'd

thet yearnin' wish of Miss Helen's fer
somethin' to happen will come true.

"Cut out the joshin'," rang out
Monty's strident voice.

It was the last thing needed to trans

Stewart stood perfectly motionless.
Then slowly he began to lift his right
hand In which hs held his sombrero.
he swept It up and up. high over his
head. His tall form lowered. With
fierce suddenness he flung his sombrero
down. He leaped at his black horse
and dragged him to where his saddle
lay. With one pitch he tossed the
saddle upon the horses back. His
strong hand flashed at girths and
straps. Every action was swift. de-
cisive. fierce. Bounding for his bride.
which hung over a bush, he ran against

"Get out Of my wayl" he yelled.
