CHAPTER X
Judith Triumphant

Though, under the surface, life upon
Blue Lake ranch was sufficiently tense,
the remaining days of June frivoled
by as bright and bonny as the little
meadow-blues flirting with the field
d1owers.
Since from the very first the ranch
had been short-handed, the hours from
daBa to dusk were filled with activity.
Carson, who, true to Judith's expecta-
tons, had brought back some new
ideas from his few days at the expert
mental farm-ideas not to be admitted
by Carson, however-bought-. a hum
dred young steers from neighboring
overstocked range. In the lower cor
rails the new milking-machines were
working smoothly, only a few of the
older cows refusing to have anything
TO do with them.
Trip had succeeded in locating and
getting back some of the men who had
worked long under Luke Sanford and
whom Trevors had discharged. 1t was

THE GOLDFISH GIRL

MT OST popular and profitable OF all
alluring name and attractive coloring
the goldfish.
Here's why. The goldfish is easy
to keep and not difficult to breed !;
and, while the rarer kinds are expens-
i've, the common varieties, with which
be had for ridiculously small sums
A girl goldfish keeper, who has been
graduated after several years to the
stage where she is satisfied only with
rare and fancy fish, is my informant.
There are goldfish and goldfish"
she declared, lana there are progress
sive stages in keeping them. After
time, one is satisfied only with the
expensive kinds, which are most in
teresting and pay best.
The goldfish girl-to-be must first of
all provide for the fish a tank That
bottom-because the fish must have
plenty of air. She must remember
that goldfish heaven is filed with fish
whose keepers thought they needed
fresh water every day. For, in what
is known as a properly balanced
aquarium, fresh water must be added
only occasionally. The Keeper secures
this desirable, balance by having in
| her aquarium living plants of the kind
that will furnish the oxygen the fish
require, and will absorb the carbonic-
acid gas the fish give off.
After the tank has been arranged
for several days, and the water is
warm and the plants rooted, the keep
er may introduce the fish with little
net, one at a time. If at any time
she sees a fish swimming near the
surface and making peculiar cluck-
ing sound, there is not enough oxygen
the tank is over-crowded.
The aquarium should haye an east
window, if possible, since goldfish
thrive in morning light. A little sun
light is beneficial, too, but too much
is injurious.
The dealer who sells the original
stock to the keeper may agree to buy
back all her surplus. Or, she may be
able to sell to a pet-stock store in a
nearby city. If not, she may rent a
window in the busiest store Of her
own town, and display her pets in it.
She should "talk up her hobby among
her friends, and should carry an adj
vertisement in the local papers.
When the goldfish girl can raise and
sell large quantities Of common gold
i fish SUCCESSFULLY and then only
it will be time for her to indulge in
the fancier (and incidentally much
more ''finicky'') types Of fish.

She asked her questions, got her an
gwers Triumphantly she turned to
Trip.
The Bagley ranch, though a hundred
miles away, was the nearest cholera
infected place of which TrIpp had any
knowledge. Bagley did have flock Of
pigeons; man, month or so ago,
had bought two dozen from him. the
man wasn't Trevors Bagley didn't
know who he was. The same man,
however, had shown up three days ago
and had asked for another half-dozen
of the birds. There had been three
white pigeons among them. He was
a shifty-eyed chap, Bagley said, old
brown suit, hat with rattlesnake
skin around the crown. That, point for
point, spelled Donley.
Lee returned with the shirt which
he had ripped from his prisoners
back. Adhering to the inside of it
were little, downy feathers and three
or four larger feathers from a pigeons
wing.
II guess he rode mostly at night, at
that" concluded Lee. "A great little
fat man you must have looked, stran-
ger, with six of those brides in your
shirt"
DonIey's face was violet red. But
a glance from Lee shut his mouth for
him. Poker Face, still looking on,
gave no sign of interest.
''Put him in the grain-house," said
Judith, her eyes bright with anger.
sAnd see that he doesn't go Shorty
trail. Poker Face, have you anything
to say for yourself?"
NO." answered Poker Face.
''Then,' cried Judith holly, you can
have your time right nowl Donley,
here, I'll prosecute. He's going to pay

Shorty for me yes, and Quinnion, too,
and Bayne Trevors, If you like-that
am ready and waiting for your next
play And don't forget that when San
Quentin is full there's still room in
Folsom"
Judith telephoned Emmett Sawyer
that she had mar for him. Lee and
Carson conducted an expostulating
Donley to the grain-house and jailed
him wordlessly. Then Carson put a
man on guard at the door, daylight
though it was. When all was done he
filled his piEe slowly and turned trou-
bled eyes after Poker Face.
"She made a mistake there, though .
he said regretfully. "a better cow
hand I never ask to see, Bud An you
ought to gee the game of crib that
man plays! Nope, Judy; you're wrong
there"
But Bud Lee, the man who did not
approve of the sort of woman who did
mans work, said with unusual
warmth.

Certainly the most destructive of
human emotions is that of jealousy.
With the exception of love and war
nothing seems to be so provocative to
the green-eyed monster, who seems to
have the faculty of consuming all
those who admit him to their souls, as
music. A list of the famous musical
jealousies would be interesting. 1t
would run into the hundreds. Opera
companies are usually nests of jeal-
ousy.
Possibly one of the most famous
cases of musical pealousy is that of
Henry Cooke, deceased (1672). Cooke
was a fighter who gloried in the term
Of captain. He joined the kings army
and fought bravely, it is said, but
when the commonwealth came into
existence ne was obliged to make
his living reaching music. Eventually
he became gentleman and master of the
children when the chapel royal was es-
tablished again in 1860. There he had
as his pupils no less than Purcell,
John Blow and Pelham Humphrey.
Humphrey so closely initiated the
work of mis- master that after some
t.rae he was able to supptant him In
hts state position. Captain Cooke flew

HELPING MEN SPRUCE
UP"

u VERY "old bachelor" is poten-
- tial customer of the seWer-O n-of-
buttons and mender-of-clothes.
And many married man is in the
market for little 'perking up" at
times, too. That's the discovery of
one little girl, who, specializing in the
depressing business, consequently
knows something about the markets
of related businesses.
"All bachelordom is my special field
of endeavor," she declares. Though
the married man drops in for an occa-
sional depressing, too, when his wife
is away or when he has hurry-up
business appointment"
This girl sponges and presses the
most elongated, seedy-looking string
into a semblance Of something tit to
be called a tie. Her equipment is in
expensive: only an electric iron, a
table and pad, tie rack, a water jar,
a sponge and some pasteboard. The
business is considered drawing card
to the shop in which she is located,
so she pays no rent.
The depressing specially is good
one on any Main Street." But there
are plenty Of other possibilities in the
art of the clothes caterer to men. How
about a glove mending business, con-
Quoted on the same plan as the little
tie-mender's trade? Here is simple,
practical business, well-paying, requir-
ing no capital, needed in every COM
munity, and practically an open field.
Men and women, even women who do
most of their other mending them
selves, are glad to turn over their
gloves to be mended by one who
makes it her business to do it espe-
cially well.
A "Collar and Cuff Laundry" is a
bit more of an undertaking but it's
a good one for a girl if she has just
a little money to invest. Men are
particular about having their collars
"done" perfectly.
Less intricate, even, than any of the
other suggested plans, is that OF but
ton-lady, whose job is simply to re-
place missing buttons and tighten
dangling ones. Or, the small-town
girl might make a speciality of general
mending for men. If she does this,
she should be able to supply both
patches and buttons, and, if she is an
expert, she might darn small tears in
wooden suits and overcoats.
The girl who starts any one of these
businesses will not have much diff
Guilty getting customers if she locates
in a much-frequented part of town.
The well-to-do old bachelor will be
her steady customer. The richer he
becomes and the more there are of
him, the more lucrative her business
will be-and he's becoming better off
and more plentiful all the time.

meat told that the barbecue was in
progress. He worked with his horses
as he had worked yesterday, as he
would work tomorrow. With the dusk
he went, not to the mems quarters,
but to the old cabin at the Upper End.
Again and again that day he had
thought Of that look in Judith's eyes
when she had asked him to come for
Marcia's sake. What the devil did
she mean by it? He didn't know ex-
aet1y, but he did know that in it's own
vague way it irritated him. Her eyes
had laughed at him, they had leased,
they had told him that Judith herself
wasn't wasting a single thought upon
Mr.. Bud Lee, but that she had noticed
his obvious interest in Miss Langwor-
thy.
"D-n it." muttered Lee. 81 won't
co.
But he had said he would go, and in
| little things as in big ones he was scru-
pulous. He would go, just to dance
with Marcia and show Miss Judith a
| thing or two. He felt unreasonable
like taking Miss Judith across his knee
and spanking her. And he diN have a
curiosity to see just what Judith would
look like in a real party-dress.
"Poor little wild Indian" he grum-
bled She's got the making of a Won
der in her, and she doesn't even know
| it. What's worse, doesn't care"
He sat with a dead cigarette be-
tween his fingers, staring at the wind
blown flame of his coal-oil lamp Ju-
dith was doing this as she did every
thing that she set her two hands on,
thoroughly and with her whole heart
and soul. In that lay the key to her
character. There was no halfway
with her. When she gave, it was open
heartedly, with no reservation; where
she loved or hated, it was unreserved-

Yesterday Hampton had wondered,

Whereby he called attention to his
turned-up overalls, soft shirt, battered
hat. and Tapping vest with the tobac-

Importance he hurried home.
The letter was nowhere to be

Judith Of Blue Lake Ranch

the Both of June-it wasn't definitely
decided that the Langworthys were
leaving then, but at least Farris and
her were rather more complex than
Judith herself fully realized or would
have admitted. She liked Marcia );
she wanted to do at least this much
for her. Living room, dining room,
music room, library-they would all
be cleared of the larger pieces of fur
niture, the double-doors thrown open.
The string band from Rocky Bend
would come. Judith would send out
invitations to the nicer people there
and to the ranches hereabout. She
would have barbecue, there would
be races and the usual holiday games,
then the dance. Marcia would know
nothing of 1t until the last day, when
her eager enthusiasm would send her
a-futter to her dressing room.
Unanalyzed, it was simplicity itself,
this giving a farewell party to Marcia
Under analysis, it was a different mat
ter. The boys at the ranch would be
would come But Lee would come.
Judith would see to that, even if he
should hesitate.
Bud Lee had always been so self
possessed, had so coolly found her
lacking, that, piqued a little, Judith
longed for the opportunity to place
him in an atmosphere where a little
of his calm self-possession. might be
snatched from him. If she could en-
barrass him, If she could see the red
rise under his tanned skin, she would
be giving Mr.. Lee a lesson good for
his soul.
1--WE got powerful little use for an
affair like that" said Lee coolly when
she told him. "Thank you, Miss San
ford, but / don't think I'll come"
Judith shrugged her shoulders as
though it did not in the least matter
| to her.
'Im giving 1t for Marcia she said.
''Do you think it would be quite nice
to her to stay away? am afraid that
she will be hurt"
Not Judith's words, but the look In
her eyes changed Lees intentions.

said quietly, "Pll come"

Primitive Homes

Lava blocks roughly quarried pro-
vide the rural Icelander with his build
ing material. His farmstead consists
of a group of small cottages joined to-

on the other and the crevices are
stopped up with moss or earth. Some
of these houses have wood rafters,
but the majority Of them have whale
ribs instead These are covered with
brushwood, on top of which turf is
heaped. The turf bears good crop of
grass. which is carefully cut for hay.
The houses have no chimneys, and a
fire is never kept in any room except

taking snuff.

Marcia.
"That's the sort Of woman" he told
himself stoutly. "a mans woman
his other self, not just pardner; the
necessary other side of him. not just
the same side in different way"
Marcia had little, feminine ways of
helplessness which turned f1atteringly
to the strength of the other sex. Ju-
dith asked no man to aid her in mount
ing her horse; Marcia coquettishly
slipped daintily slippered foot into
a mans palm, rising because of his
strength.
Now, when his thoughts went to Ju-
dith, Bud Lee turned them dexterous-
Iy to Marcia, making his comparisons,
shaping them to fit into his pet theory.
When, days passing, he did not see
Judith, he told himself that he was
going to miss Marcia when she left.
When one day he came unexpectedly
upon judith and with lips and eyes
she flashed her ready smile at him,
he felt that odd stir in his blood. What

have been anything, elected to do a
