wouldn't hang around Rapid City,
drinking Calvin's whisky and singing
his foolish songs. Not being a gam
bier, nor miner, he must be an agent.
AS robbing folks Is his business he
won't knuckle down to losing so much
money, nor letting you get away with
what was your own. If was card
man I'd bet we'll be held up inside the
next ten miles,"
Dinsdale was frankly concerned, al.
| though he tapped his guns and grimly
declared:
Let them come. You just lay low
| and when they heave in sight leave
it to me to receive them"
my old owl would know better than
| to make such talk. He'd know the
| agents would never give you chance
to pull gun. The man with the
sore head will tell his mates-and he
has men within call--that it'll be dan
gerous to give you a show. We're
fools to be following this road TO be
overtaken."
Dinsdale glanced over the winding
back trail. then said:
I'm not fool even If 4 do wear
two belt-guns. Well swing one side
If you think best. / have quite lot
Of money on me in greenbacks and a
| decent pot of gold. What's more, San
Juan Joe is in hurry to see me on
business deal. I can run just as
smart as, can fight"

cine talk ~ cried Scissors; and within
the next quarter of mile they turned
down narrow gorge that ran east
They followed this for less than two
miles and then swung back until they
were moving parallel to the stage road
and separated from it by long ridge.
Pointing to the ridge Scissors an
nounced:
From the top of that one can look
down ON the stage road. If we had
time to spare we could get up there
| and see if the soreheaded man and his
friends are after us"
wen take time. I'd like to be sure
If that's Mr.. Easy's game" declared
Dinsdale.
Scissors turned In toward the ridge
and galloped to clump of spruce and
secured his horse. Dinsdale did like
wise. AS they neared the crest Scis-
sors directed:
'Take off your hat and play Indian.
Just below us the road narrows.
Stage drivers call it the bottle May
be Sorehead hasn't had time to fetch
his friends along. Maybe they're TAX
ing it comfortable and planning to
jump US after we've camped. Well
see."
They cautiously lifted their heads
and pulled aside the grass. They
watched for minute and then beheld
some objects rapidly advancing into
| the middle distance. They were horse
men and riding furiously. Dinsdale
counted six. From their elevated po-
sition it was impossible to distinguish
one from another except the man who
rode next TO the leader. He wore
something white about his head.

| glance at the girl. He halted an(
abruptly pushed his way to her table
and thrust his hand in his pocket fol
some money or dust.
mo, no, M'sieu. Not here. u
game ees not for you"
He slowly drew forth his hand and
swung his gaze about as If searching
for some one who might be smiling
over his repulse. More to spare the
dealer scene than from fear of the
stranger the men continued grave Of
face. With a shrug of his shoulders
the man passed on to the monte table
looked on sardonically for q minute
then bruskly asked?:
Whats the limitY
Fifty dollars" answered the dealer
without bothering to glance up.
How much behind your bankT
1.-Two thousand dollars" Now the
dealer deigned to look up.
bet you two thousand dollars the
next card Is red"
The dealer dropped the pack before
him and rapidly darted his appraisins
gaze over the challenger. Head hurt,
partly intoxicated; yet drunken men
and fools are proverbial for luck.
"'This is monte bank"
Il know. Bet you two thousand
the next card is red"
Probably is. Probably you got a
glimpse of It," sneered the dealer.
Leave the deck as 1t is. Let any
one here cut the cards. Bet you two
thousand he cuts a red card"
"All right. You're on. The bank
pays you two thousand If you call the
right color"
RED is my color. Shuttle them up,
but don't bend any of them. Go
ahead"
The dealer ran the cards together
a few times and squared them up
and left them on the table, ANY one
In particular you'd like to make the
cut?' asked the dealer.
The stranger bent down to satisfy
himself the dealer was not forcing"
cut by bending the cards, then
Strengthened and glanced about until
his gaze rested on Scissors. Motion
ing him to approach he caught him by
the shoulder and pushed him forward
and directed:
"Cut the deck, Paper Dolls. You're
big medicine, you know. Cut a red
card"
Scissors stared stupidity as If not I'M
Outstanding. The stranger repeated
his command, now speaking sharply.
Scissors timidly advanced a hand and
seized the cards. The dealer bowed
his head to catch an early glimpse of
the color and drew a deep breath and
held 1t. Scissors cut deep and held
out his hand. He had cut the ten of
hearts
The dealer rose and from a drawer
in the table counted out two thousand
dollars in dust and currency and mo-
toned for the winner to use the scales.
The stranger finished counting the
money and then weighed the bags of
dust in his brown hands.
''They heft like they are enough
he said. Game closed?"
"Closed until / get another stake"
said the dealer, placing the meager
residue of cash and dust In bag to

The Home Market.

If freight rates are such big item
in the cost of farm produce, it is clearly
up to the producers to develop the home
market and eliminate the railroad
freight charges.
City and town residents are asked to
buy the produce from the farms Of
their district as matter of community
loyalty, and for their own good as well,
because dollar spent at home is a
dollar more in circulation in the local
trade than if it were spent away from
home.
The producer will get better results
in the movement to win the support
of the people of his own community
If he will observe the methods of the
concerns that market food products
and initiate them.
He will note that cleanliness and
attractveness of the package Is one
of the salient features, and that every
effort is made to please the customer.
He will also note that the large
handlers of food products use adVer-
tising space freely and bring to the
realization of the customer that they
have product that is worth the money
Although loyalty to the home COM
munity should figure in the average
buyers calculations, he IS largely
governed by his likes and disllkes and
his tastes for certain brands OF foods.
The men and women who produce
the food that we eat will find ready
market at home if they will take tie
mains to get 1t. A little special eitort
| is required, and study of the needs
and wants of the customers.

Heller Calf Demands Care From
the Day of Birth.

Baby calves respond with great
susceptibility to care especially during
the first few days of their lives. The
helfer calf that receives correct care
during the first few days of her life
mas the opportunity to some day
become profitable COW, but the one
who is stunted and kept in dirty quar-
tiers is handicapped not only then but
for months to come.
Experienced breeders have found it
to be good practice to permit the
calf to stay with the COW for two days
after she is born so that she can receive
the first milk directly from the COW
which is so essential to the calf's
health. This practice is also beneficial
to the cows udder, frequently helping
to relieve her of caked condition.
After taking the calf from the COW
she should be fed her mothers milk at
body temperature, approximately l03
degrees F. at least three times daily
and preferably four. 1t is usually a
good rule not to feed milk to exceed
one-eighth of the calf's weight, at
birth, for the first six weeks. Mothers
milk should be fed for the first two
weeks, after which any whole milk of a
fair fat content can gradually replace
the mothers milk.
The baby calf should be kept isolated
for at least ten days in a perfectly
clean stall with an abundance of good
clean bedding, after which time she
may be placed with other calves. H.

Dormant Season Best For Pruning Of
Shade Trees.

Hardly season passes in temperate
regions that the need of shade tree
pruning isnot demonstrated. This was
the case especially during the last
autumn and early winter when heavy
fall of wet snow practically ruined
many shade trees and sadly disfgured
a great many more in Colorado.
Pruning for increasing trees re-
sistance to storms is best when done
annually and in moderation rather
than at long intervals and heavily.
The best time for pruning is during
the dormant season, especially in late
winter and early spring. as then the
crown of the tree is free from foliage
which would interfere with clear
view of the limbs in summer. Summer
pruning is called for in cases where
lower limbs droop during the growing
season and interfere with the free use
of paths and sidewalks; also limbs that
have tendency to grow abnormally
long may be shortened at this time.
A careful study of the crown of each
tree is needed before any pruning is
done, as each individual tree presents
special problem In general the OBJ
iect is to build up a pleasing form
natural to the species of tree and Sc
cure at the same time strength to
hear the stress of storms. This IS
possible in the highest degree only
when the tree is given proper attention
in early age. Crotches in the truck
which are nearly always a weak spot
in the tree, should be prevented by re-
moval of on branch of fork in the
leader as soon as it appears. A leader
which is inclined to shoot up too tall
and slender should be topped Just above
smaller upright branch. while lateral
branches too long and slender should be
shortened in the same manner. Jud-
icious annual pruning will usually OBJ
viate the necessity of cutting large
limbs and the wounds made in the
latter case are the only ones in need OF
naintinp with wood preservative in
our climate.-B. o. Longyear, Colo

Radio and ScOffers.

10 be able to sit at home on
dreary winter days and hear a
sermon from across the con-
tlnent. a musical entertainment a
couple of thousand miles away or
an important address by the pres
ident of the United States. is a
pleasure that can not be measured
in terms of ordinary enjoyment.
Radio is truely the marvel of the
age and its uses are broadening so
that it has come to be an accepted
means of communication.
There was a time when the
scoffers laughed OF the Wright
Brothers for trying to fly without
wings; when they ridiculed the
idea Of buggy running down the
street without a horse hitched in
front of it; when they scorned the
suggestion that anyone should
communicate with another many
miles away without the use of
wires.
The scofers are still having
their inning. They haven't been
convinced yet that radio is here to
stay. but Knowing their propen-
stiles to see only the dark side of
every effort at progress, those of us
who believe that modern inventions
are the best ever conceived. will
not be dismayed by their predic-
tions of failure.
Radio is wonderful invention
and it will be improved immeasur-
ably. There is no doubt about
that. 1t will be perfected just as
automobiles and airplanes have
been made more practical year by
year.
