muSfy' hay one winter and got the
tizic, but you never would know
1t unless you run her. One Of her
stife Jints-"
The mares owner interrupted at
this juncture:
"You Jest turn your mouth on,
don't you, Tex, and go off and leave
| it?"
II happened to know little some
thin about this harse," ALPHABETICALLY
began TEX" whose other name was
McGonnigle, $50 thought
$50 you thought you'd butt in and
queer the sale of 1t. suppose you'd
suffer somethin horrible II there was
horse-deal on and you had to keep
your mouth shut?"
Mr. McGonnigle protested feebly
that he had no such an idea when he
gave the horses history, and Wallie
was much interested in the wrangle,
of Candy through one of the door
ways of stable SO he hurried across
the yard and found him in converse
ton with Boise Bill, who was groom
ing work-horse which quite evil
IDENTIFY was to be auctioned.
Boise Bill grinned when he saw
Wallie and nodded. Candy stepped
out and greeted Wallie with some
affability.
I've been watching for you. Have
you bid on anything?"
mot yet But saw fine-looking
cow that 1 mean to buy II she is all
she ought to be-" Wallie replied with
loud touch of Importance. 1T
seems to me that good cow will
help out wonderfully. 1 am very
fond of milk and it will be useful in
cooking. With a COW and her or
| two"
Candy and Wallie crossed the yard
to where mild-eyed Jersey was be-
ing dressed in halter preparatory
to being led forward and put up at
auction.
"Will you be good enough to per-
NIT me to examine this anin,al:"
Wallie asked of her caretaker.
Shore" he replied, heartily,
though he looked puzzled.
Wallie drew off his riding gloves
and stepped UP briskly in profess
sional manner and pried open the
mouth Of the protesting COW.
He exclaimed as he let go abrupt
ly:
"Why-she's old! don't want
her. She hasn't single tooth left
in her upper jaw. It's fortunate
thing l looked at her."
A small boy roosting on the corral
snickered. The cows guardian smil-
ed broadly and openly and delber-
ately winked at Candy.
Offended, Wallie demanded:
"Am 1 nreror as to her age?"
"Well-if a cow ever had set of
teeth In her upper jaw she'd be in
sideshow. They don't have 'em.
This cow is only three-a young AMI
NAL"
That's true" Candy assented.
II declare! 1t seems very curl
ous," Wallie exclaimed, astounded.
He added with all his Importance
punctured:
: 81 fear have much to learn"
"This is good place to learn 1t, }"
observed the cows valet.
Wallie bought the Jersey at private
sale, and needless to say, paid Its
full value.
She'll be fresh in January" the
man said to him.
Wallie looked bewildered, 80 the
other explained further:
She'll have calf. He said 1t In
, such a confidential manner that Wal
lie thought it was secret and low
cred his voice to answer:
J I'm glad Of It," He had notion
that he had gotten the best Of Can

I What would you advise? Have 70,
' a pair in mind, Mr.. Canby?" Candy
reflected.
THAT was a good horse Boise Bill
was currying," he suggested.
Eyes, noticed him. Is there an
: other like him."
II believe he is one Of team"
Candy was correct in his surmise
The pair were we'll matched and
impressed by their looks and strength
Wallie was delighted and determined
to have them il possible.
Fourteen hundred Is good weigh

Wallie agreed enthusiastically.
! "My own idea exactly. You see II

The gathering was composed most
ly of good. honest folk but plaiI
ones. They did, however. seem t.
