Judith Of Blue Lake Ranch

| No wonder she had been crying.
Even If everything went smooth on
the Blue Lake she. too, had her work
cut out for her.
Now" she ran on, her voice stirring
him with the ringing note in it, Il can
make go of tiff they will just let
me alone! / am playing close to the
money in the bank, enough to run
| along for two or three months, that's
| all. / have about two thousand"
"Close hauled" grunted Lee. And TO
himself, he remarked as he had re-
marked once before: "She's got her
sand"
Quite naturally Bud Lee thought
| swiftly of his horses. He had told
Trevors that he wanted to make no
sale for at least six months. Given
| until then-if Judith could make a go
of it without forcing a sale-he'd
show her the way to at least seven or
eight thousand, with a good percent
age of clear profit.
ITO begin with" Judith's voice in
| terrupted his musings, II am going to
have trouble with Carson. l admit
that he's an exceptionally good cattle
foreman; admit, too, that he has his
limitations. He is Of the old school,
| and has got to learn something. He'll
! be coming to me in August or Septem-
Der, telling me I've got to begin selling.
That's the way they all do! And the
result is that beef cattle drop and the
going to do is to make Carson start in
buying then"
Were pretty well stocked up" Lee
offered gently. Turning the hills over
to the hogs makes a difference, too.
We're going to be short of feed long
| before September is over"
"Short of range feed, yes" she re-
torted warmly. "But we're going to
put our trust in our silos, Lee, and
make them do such work for US as
| they have never done before. Then,
when other folks are forced to sell off
for what they can get, We'll hold on
and buy. We won't sell before Deem
Der or January, when the market is
up"
He shook his head. Though not Of
the old school which had produced
Carson. still he put little faith in those
tall towers into which alfalfa and In
dian corn were fed to make lush fod-
der.

Neither does Carson" said Judith.
''He looks at such things as silos and
milking machines and tractors and

have looked at the inroads of the
white man. But, do you know where
he has been these last few days?"
SIN San Francisco? Heard him say
he was going to take few days off"
Judith laughed.
That's Carson for you! He
wouldn't admit where he was going.
I sent him down to Davis, where the
state experimental farm and labora-
tories are. He's going to see silo,
study silo, think silo until he gets a

Lyric Soprano

The word lyric is derived from the
lyre. which is now used as an instru-
ment to accompany the smaller forms
of poetry. 1t has become associated
with songs that are composed more
for their melodious interest than for
their dramatic effect. A lyric soprano
is known as light soprano, which is
more suited to light songs and solos,
to distinguish 1t from dramatic So
pranos, which are heard TO greater ad-
vantage in opera and oratorio work.
