ROSEBUD ROLLING
In CROP WEALTH

~ OSEBUD county's hills and val
leys are rolling in crop and live

cording to Maj. S. G. Reynolds OF
Billings who is receiver for the First
National Bank of Forsyth. In the
many years he has lived in eastern
Montana, said the Major in an in
terview, he has not seen such favor
able crop and livestock conditions as
are now prevalent and this is espec-
tally true with reference to Rosebud
county.
''Those who stuck, despite the adj
verse conditions of the past" said he,
ARE going to win out, and by a hand
some majority. Already harvesting
is under way, and some threshing ma
chimes are in operation. The grain
is yielding in remarkable fashion, and
many debts are going to be liquidated
as consequence.
"While 1 have no actual returns,
it is certain that many of the fields
will go 40 bushels of wheat to the
acre, while in not few cases volun-
teer grain will reach as high as eight
to twelve bushels an acre. With the
good prices prevalent for small grains
it is readily to be seen that eastern
Montana is going to stage wonder
full comeback.
Range conditions never were bet
ter, and the stock is rolling fat. With
the improvement in the wool market,
the better prices indicated for cattle
hogs and sheep, the stockmen will
have good year also. Many of the
Rosebud farmers are taking to di-

Ducks Plentiful. Says warden.

Duck hunters VIII have plenty to
shoot at this fall according to pres
ent indications. This is the report of
George E. Mushbach, United States
game warden from Billings. Almost
everywhere in Montana, but more
particularly in the eastern part of
the state, Mr.. Mushbach stated, indi-
cations are that there will be an I'M
usually large number of ducks this
year. The Matching season has been
ideal for the large numbres of ducks
which nestled in Montana this seas
on, the game warden asserted.

CHAPTER LVII.
Chickie's Fight.

It was three years since that
night in June when Chickie took
her dog and pressed her face
against his head, whispering: "Ho
know 1t, dog--it's so!' And she
knew herself alone in the world
with the heaviest cross a world
can fashion laid upon her Shout
ders.
Three years she had carried It.
Now she was grown strong under
the weight. And in this moment
strong enough to throw 1t Off
strong enough to dash it to the
ground.
She sat very still, within her a
leaping storm. She knew that she
must Highland she would. She
waited for her words to come,
She temporized: ''You think ]
must resign, Miss Simonds?"
''Is there any need to repeat it,
Miss Bryce? 1 regret this deeply"
ut is a great deal to ask. 1t
means so much to me-so much.
Isn't there some way to avoid It?
My record for these twenty months
here is stainless. Shouldn't / be
judged by that, and not by the
past?"
You force me into a difficult DO
sition. must do what seems best
for the whole. 1 have really no
choice in the matter. You can
surely understand that this revela-
ton makes your further presence
here practically impossible. You
would be pointed out; you would
be whispered about. You would
hurt the reputation Of every girl
in the school,"
Chickie drew in her breath with
a rough gasp. How could I do
that?"
why do you insist on argu-
ment, You must realize that we
have to keep our standards above
reproach. Can we permit it to be
said that the nursing profession
offers refuge to girls Of doubtful
character?"
Chickie half whispered: Doubt
full? /? Oh, I am not doubtful
I never was. Should no refuge be
offered? Oh, none2 You know,
Miss Simonds, am as good as
many girls. My mind is not

months. am glad to serve. :. :"
And she grew excited. Her
words came in broken phrases,
with short, hard breaths between.
She had to stop now and then be-
cause Of a twisting at her lips.
And she had to press her hands
because they were knocking
against the table.
And Nshe told how It was life
to her. How her father counted
on 1t, and every one, and she had
a right to prove herself.
80 I can't resign, Miss Simonds!
I'm not going to resign! I've
come here to serve. to pour out
my life, and I'm going to do this,
and no one has q right to deny
me the chance. Not you, or any
'one!
She stood up a little, leaning
on her hands. Her eyes famed,
and a white tragic line came
about her mouth.
"Sit down, Miss Bryce! Control
yourself. I would be glad to
have you stay. am sorry the
charges have been brought. But
there are girls here-lnany OF
them very young. I can't leopard
lie their future in order to make
yours"
She sank down, then asked, with
a desperate calm: "'How can
hurt them, Miss Simonds? How
does it harm them If I am allowed

wouldn't wait for answer.

don't see that at all"
You harm these girls because
they may figure that you broke
the laws and are honored. So
they may do the same. And you
harm them because those who
know the deeds OF your life may
conclude that all nurses are like
wise uncertain in their standards.
Why should q girl of pure char
acter be sInirched by another's
past?"

vidual has a right to bring upon
them such a censure."
Chickie grew suddenly scarlet
and bewildered. She pressed her
closed hands against her mouth.
Miss SimOnds said, 80, let the
matter end, Miss Bryce"
She answered, almost to herself:
What will Jonathan do? On,
there is my father and mother"

years ago, Miss Bryce?"

It as that sacred. And it was.

Branded.

She thought with a stony re.
moteness: II should withdraw. I
should get up and withdraw" Yet
she remained silent in an obsti-
nate abandon.
Her eyes were stormy and bril-.
liant. They fixed on Norma and
suddenly Norma, faltered; sudden
IL she lowered her head. II
don't wish to do this. I'd rather
let the matter rest. I'd rather

Things pounded at Chiclie's
heart; thoughts were a madness,
but the grimness remained. No!
She would not! She would not!
And she sat there and stared at
her accuser. And folded her
hands.
Norma repeated, yet keeping
her eyes averted: I'm leave it

Phyllis shouted: Good idea,
Talbot! Leave it to Bryce! Leave
II to us. We can get personal,
too! We can state reasons why
other persons aren't fit for office.
Shall we? ] say, shall WEI"
Miss Blair, who was acting as
Chairman-a scrupulous, painstak-
ing girl, now leaned over the
desk, pleading for order, but a
group of Chickie's friends kept
chanting to soft stamping Of
feet: Vote, vote, vote-we want
to vote!"
Miss Blair brought a book down
with a bang: "Order-order! This
class has been together nearly
two years. Its members are we'll
acquainted. All of us know
Bryce and ali know Underwood.
Let each Judge for herself as to
their fitness. This meeting shall
not be turned into a brawl while
I'm chairman.
Are there any other nonnina-
tons? Then let the voting begin.
Let that determine the majority
choice. Let pettiness end!'
Choke was elected. The voting
stood 10 to 6. 1t brought no
triumph to her heart-nothing but
q haggard chill-Did they know?
Could they know?
In the middle of that night she
awakened from a fluttering sleep,
her pulses going like lightning.
Memory stalked gauntly. Irene
Underwood had an aunt who
lived in the Mission--on Howard
street. Twice Chiclxie met Irene
walking there.
So! The aunt knew. The aunt
had told 1t all! That was it and
now the whole hospital was to
hear.
Chickie wet her lips. She tried
TO push free from the smothering
and overpoWering heat. She got
up and stood at the window. She
was standing there when Myrtle
came in.
Myrtle was all breeze and ex.
element over it: "Say, wasn't
that choice though! Cats-did you
ever know the equal! AS though
everyone couldn't see through a
game like that. We should worry

The impression became general.
Irene Underwood was jealous Of
Chickie. This was her revenge.
Feeling turned against Irene.
Chickie's alarm died. She be-
gan to make her plans for the
annual. She'd show them who
was worthy of their trust. 1t
would be the biggest, the bright
est, the cleverest thing -
One morning Miss Simonds sent
for her. It was the first time
Chickie had been to the office
since her nrohatinn daXs Hurry.
