 Sally" said the sheriff, suddenly, I'm going to make you deputy"
 What for?"
 I'm going to put this man in your custody"
 Sally shook her head.
 "Oh, no you don't" she said, Henry Williams is his own boss, so far as I am concerned"
 The sheriff reddened
 "I'll need those horses for my men," he said, with a nod at Sally and the Wreck. wen try to come back and give you lift later"
 Sally dismounted. She was elated. She had never believed from the beginning that Bob Wells would risk taking the Wreck to jail But the Wreck remained in his saddle, staring at the sheriff.
 You'll get this horse when I get my car running, and not before," he said. Think you can leave a lady stranded out here in the woods, do you?"
 Get down." said the sheriff, ad- vaneing.
 Wait" remarked the Wreck. He indulged in deliberate pause.
 Sheriff" he said, "I'm a nervous man and I'm apt to be imusive and do things without considering, But I've got this particular thing all figured out to hair, and was cool and calm when 1 figured it. Just as sure as you go off and leave Sally Morgan and me stranded in the woods I'm going to make the state of Montana too small to hold you.
 "I'll start campaigning this coun- ty, and when l get through with 1t I'll take the next one, and I'll go through every county in the state, if it takes me the rest of my life. All I'll do Is 10 tell the truth. I'll tell them how you chased your own girl for days and days and didn't know it. I'll tell them that when she needed a horse she took yours and left half your posse on foot. I'll tell them how you let a real stick up gang go about It's business under your nose while you went off chas- ing your own friends and acquaint- ances.e I'll tell them\ about the cook you were going to marry, but didn't. I'll tell them every little thing, from start to finish"
 He paused again, for 1t was an ex- ceptionaIly long speech for the Wreck. The sheriff glowered at him.
 And if you figure you can keep on being a sheriff in the state of Montana after get through" con- cluded the Wreck, then I'll give you a chance 10 find out by running for sheriff myself"
 Bob Wells hesitated. After all, he was a pretty good sheriff, as Sally always said, and when there was a gang loose in his county, he knew his duty.
 And of course" said Sally. speak ing up in clear voice, "T'lI back up every word that Henry Williams says" ->
 The sheriff swallowed his pride.
 What do you want me 10 do?' he asked, looking at, the Wreck.
 T want you aud your men to gel busy and put that flivver on her feet and help get her out of here, SC that Miss Morgan and myself can gC about our business"

The Bad Minutes" That Katie
 Gave Jim

Gave Jim
 I did not share Katherine's cN- pressed opinion that the time was propitious for me to issue an ul- timatum to Katie concerning her treatment of Mollie Fawcett while the girl was a guest at the farm house.
 There was shrewd suspicion in my mind that a iirst-class conjugal row was in progress in the kitchen, and as l came within earshot of the farmhouse my suspicious were confirmed. Secure in the knoWl- edge that for a few minutes they were the sole occupants of the farmhouse, Katie and Jim were thrcshing out the flaming question of Jim's aid to Molhe FHwcett in her attempt to ride old Lady |, Jerry Ticers horse.
 Jim's deep, angry voice, and Katic's furious and high-pitched tones came 10 my ears, and l halted abruptly, l was glad they had not seen mo, yet wondered how, having come so far, l could escape their vision, for l knew that either of them was apt to open the door at any second.
 I began to edge toward the side of the house away from the kitchen, trying to g"t ont ot oarshot as soon as possible, for l had no desire 10 listen 10 their recrimina- lions. But I was unable to avoid hearing a part of katir'S trade, evidently the climax and summing up of her whole verbal perform ance.
 "so now, you poor r"esh, you know vot I do Dot fool girl she here init my Missis Graham, und eef Nissis Graham she tell you to do sometirgs for her, you do eot. But eef you spik to her, or do any, Eings for her dot Missis Graham no say. l scratch her eyes out und yours too, und l go way off und l NNltE LDUll hdNh' INt V 4 Nb'' "' AN In two. tree collins, und begging me on your pended knees to for gif."
 l wondered if Jim had the same desire I had to laugh at his hectic product Of Kate's imagination, but there was anything but mirth in his voice when he answered her:
 "YOu No Fool Me-"
 "Aw! Katie girl. what's eatin' you? You know I ain't meanin' nuthin' by helpin' that girl to ride the horse. Jerry Ticer asked me to-"
 Yah" Katic's voice dripped contemptuous disbelief T spose Jerry asked you to hang on dot saddle like vun dying calf, lookin' up into dot boonch of soup greens bee-yew-tiful eyes. No, MeesteI Jeem, you cant pull-"
 But her eyes ain't half so nice as yours, Katie girl" Jim struck In with more diplomacy than I sup posed he possessed. T don't seC what you want to be jealous of tho poor kid for. You've got her bea' a thousand miles for looks"
 Jealous! Me, jealous?" Katie re. torted, but I noticed that her voice had lost something of its venom

Responsibility for slum districts and

president of Blair, Inc. Philadelphia;

Carey MaFtien of Baltimore, and

Mr.. GundIach, in placing blame for
slums. said that St Louis has recent

much Of which could have been saved
had the property manager bee n mindful
Of civic needs and stood up resolutely
for common sense in city building.
No greater mistake. he said, was ever
made by the manager or owner thar
to permit Central and old property
Ito deteriorate. 1t is the function of the
property manager, he continued, to
bring the owner to sense of re-
sponsibilty and to encourage him TO
contribute to factors which will pre-
vent such deteriorations. Perhaps
the most important of these factors.
he concluded, are city planning and

he must study the building to max e

the site. The probability of neces-
sary alterations must be taken into
account.
Traffic, he continued, must be
studied and distinction made be-
tween buying and non-buying traffic,
explaining that it is the more or
less leisurely traffic which flows out
