time than it takes a kid to hop
onto a boulder the many square
miles of the Bradshaw Mountain
foothills awakened to a move
ment which put to shame the
mild activities of Mother Earth
during the glacial period.
"CHIVON" is significant of
"eats"; and eats, no matter how
it is spelt, is magnet Of un-
bounded drawing force-a force
it we'll must have been to have
drawn living human creatures
from such blast-furnace fast
nesses as The Hole, Buckskin
and Slim Jim washes, Fools and
Death Canyons. Buzzard Roost,
and similar places where a trickle
of water comes as a Godsend for
the living critters, to the seat Of
attraction at "A. G. s" head
quarters on Horse-thief Thomp-
son Gulch, where the cool zephyr
among the tree tops fondled the
sweet aroma of the toasting
Chivas over the embers of burn
ing mountain mahogany.
The multitudinous gathering,
principally Texans who never
saw six-gun nor did less rash
things than draw the eye-teeth
from fighting she-grizzly bear
while she was hugging the kindly
fellow, soon had their smackers
over a brown piece of meat, a
dill pickle, a pie. a cake, water
million, and a soup-plate of ice
cream. This done. racing and
the usual sports were indulged
! in and upon a surface which
would awe a chamois. Expert
roping ard tieing came next

seconds less than nothing.
When the sun, with its heat
waves registering hundred and
many odd degrees, hid it's beam

peddle- -extremities, alpine-sticks,
burros, broncho-steeds, brakeless
and bodiless and shapeless fiiv-
vers for a meander up a beauti-
full sand and boulder streWn
arroyo, where myriads of rattle
snakes were sounding tn cir
tr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r in rythm with the
shrill cry Of the cricket, serving
as the fife-drum corps in the
march upon recently discovered
dance-hoor which has no peer
west of Paris.
1t was dusk when this enthus-
iastic army of Independent
Americans, ages from years to
Is years, arrived at their object
of attack-the dance-foor. It
was pleasing sight to behold
lying between high mountains
and under group of splendid
trees, lighted by the subdued
coloring of fancy japanese Ian
terms, this beautiful oasis of the
desert mountains.
Trudging thru sand and over
boulders did not thwart the
pleasure spirit of the wandering
horde and dancing was begun
without hesitation and unto the
morning hours.

THE JARR FAMILY
Fly ROY l.. M,CARDLE

Mir. Jarr was always abreast of the times, so far as the office clock was concerned, but now that he was office manager he was ahead of them.
 It was the rest of the office force who put the clock fast or slow to suit their comings and golngs. The boss had long ago given hp trying to figure out whether it was his watch or the clock that waS crazy. But now the boss came~ in and, without looking at the clock, asked MT. Jarr to attend him :n the sane tum.
 Mir. Jarr did so and the boss who had been terrorized the night before by his wife, Mrs. Clara Mud ridge Smith, in the presence of Mir, and Mrs. Jarr-began to tumble with his watch chain.
 "um-er-hem." the boss began. nervously, MT. Jarr, you are-er--- here as office manager, in an-um- er--in position of trust and confi- dence. And while there are some matters in which possibly you are lax, l trust--er-um. that l can confide in your-er-um-disc You never-ahem-er-d the private affairs of those connected would the firms confidential busi- ness affairs, I feel sure?"
 Certainly not. sir.'' said Mr. Jarr. tersely. Absolutely, positive " Mr.'-he came near saying "shean," but managed to add Smith"
 Very good. very eood.' replied ing it. And now that you are the officc manager, I have notified the auditing department and cashier that your salary will be increased by S10 B week. shall expect you to be cli;Eeat and--um--er-discre
 Thank you, you may rely on me" MT. Jarr answered. and he withdrew, wondering why he hadn't tie courage to ask for bigger sal ary increase when the boss was re- lying on him to keep the fact se- cret of how Mrs, Mudrdge Smith henpecked him.
 The word was now around the of- flee that Mir. Jarr was in high fa- vor and had the boss's complete con fidence.
 "Toadyism. Jarr and his wife are lackeys to the boss and his wife!" sneered Jahnson, the cashier
 "Jarr's got something on the old man, in my opinion" said Jenkins, 5, the bookkeeper. Thank heaven. don't depend on getting my bread nail"
 Iie , Sot q TdlSe or SdJarN, sad Adsit, the auditor. and he's office manager now-there must be some thing in what you fellows say Jarr has no brains, but he's cum ping."
 We'll" remarked Johnson, "it may be that Jarr got both salary in- crease and promotion by being the old mans spy; who knows-and, by the way. we ought to give Jarr n dinner and loving cup on his well- earned good fortune, eh?"
 The very thing!" chorused the rest, and they went over and slapped old Ed Jarr on the back and told him they were going to give him a blow -out.
