Where Speed Fails

Bright people must learn to be toler-
ant and patient with slower people.
Failure to recognize this often gets a
foreman into trouble with his men.
Naturally, the foreman is likely to be
brighter than those under him. And If
he can't be tolerant with their slow
ness he Is In for trouble. Trying to
hurry naturally slow people Is fool
fsh process. 1t hurts and irritates.
The duller a man is mentally, the
less capacity he has to hurry. He
can't hurry. You. will never make
foreman or executive unless you are
able to learn when your men are GO
ing at their best natural speed If
you push them beyond their limit-not
your limit but theirs-there is going to
to be break.-Dr. David Mitchell in
the American Magazine.

A sl,ence Of death fell for u momen,

A si,ence of death fell for moment
in the peaceful pot.
Then two men moved.
McKane. the trader who leaped
from his horse and knelt by Kate
Cathrew, and Big Basford who flung
up his arms and shook his clawing
fingers toward the western wall.
"You killed her!" he shrieked. "You
yellow devil-you've killed Kate Cath
rev! And I'll kill you'll"
He kicked his horse yieiously and
shot forward.
Bud Allison. the boy whom none had
noticed, raised his pappy's gun and
fred.
Big Basford toppled to the left and
slid out of his saddle with an audible
grunt. He rolled over, shook his good
fist toward the serene skies, and was
still.
Slowly the group drew in to look
at Cattle Kate lying so quietly after
the storm.
McKane was holding her hand be-
tween his own and murmuring foolish,
endearing words. Lawrence Arnold
pushed him aside with an oath.
But Brand Fair turned his eyes for
the first time toward that farther wall.
For moment he did not recognize the
creature which knelt there, the smok-
ing rifle across its knee, its face COW
cred with both hands.
Then something familiar In the
dropping shoulders, the ragged veil
of shining hair, struck home to him.
Without word he went forward
and dismounted.
Incredulously he stopped and took
the hands away.
Wide eyed he looked at her.
"Nancel" he cried in horror,
-Nance-Nance Good God
Almighty! What's this?"
81 am forsaken of my Cod" said the
girl piteously. Il had to kill her-or
she'd have killed your
"You didn't" said Fair sharply. "the
stallion killed her. Your shot went
wild"
She looked at him DULY, uncompre-
bending, and Fair repeated his words.
AS she realized their import her lips
began to culver, she rolled down upon
the trampled grass with her face to
the sod, and wept.
Brand Fair, knowing that this mat
ter was between her soul and its
Maker, wisely did not attempt to COM
| fort her.
He sat with his hand on her heav-
ing shoulder and watched the tragic
scene.
Bossick and his men surrounded
Arnold. Big Basford was dead. And
here was Nance Allison in Rainbow s
pot at dawn, CHASTITY with blood and
| WEAKNESS.
A thousand questions burned in his
brain, but he waited.
From the right Rod Stone was COM
ing forward, followed by the half
breed girl and the rest of the men
from Cordova.
Bossick took Stone into custody and
called to Bud Allison, who came limp

ing forward, his blue eyes glittering
with defiance
Fair stopped and lifting Nance bod
lily carried her into the heart Of the
group.
"Men," he said, "here's something
more to add to our score against Sky
Line. Look p
They looked in establishment.

ingly, ITS Miss Allison. amt it?
What's she doing here?'
That's question I'll ask Lawrence
Arnold said Fair in voice like a
blade, but the bearded man from the
Upper Country spoke up promptly.
Il think young Stone and Minnie
Pine can answer that, since that is
why we're here. Speak, Stone"
The rider shook his head.
Let Minnie" he said. "she was first
to know about It."
/ All eyes turned to the Pomo girl,
among those of Lawrence Arnold, still
holding in his arms the body Of Kate
Cathrew, and they were cruel as a
hawks.

always listened when. there was devils
talk at Sky Line. I've heard much.
This time the Sun Woman yonder stood
In the inner room where they had
brought her, and gave back In their
teeth the words of the boss and the
master. They wanted her to sign her
mothers name to paper which would
give to Kate Cathrew the homestead
on Nameless-"
"Great Scott!,' said Bossick again.
"She wouldn't" went on Minnie.
"and so they gave her to Sud Pro-
vine to keep all night in Rainbow's
pot, with Big Basford standing guard
outside"
There was the sound of an indrawn
breath from Fair.
"We know Provine, Rod Stone and
me-" continued the girl, "and so we
went to Cordova for help to get her
out. We had to walt SO long to get
away from Sky Line"
But they came, men," cut In the
bearded man, don't forget that In the
final settlement. They dared Arnold

honor--and that's no small thing"

KIMBERLEY IS In
TROUBLE OVER
HIS ACTING

Much CONSERVATION prevaded the
ranks of the Douglas Kiwanis club
early Tuesday morning when it was
repotred that their noted president
Pete" Wimberley, had been arrested
by most of the police force when no
was found breaking into the J. G..
Penney company store here which
his fellow Kiwanian, r. II. Schofield,
manages.
After the officers had apprehended
Wimberley in the wee small hours OF
the morning, he was held as their
guest at police headquarters until
Judge John E. Newbury had been all
lowed time to eat his breakfast and
arrive at the city courtroom.
Wbmberley was then taken before
the judge while dozens of amazed
and panied l<iwanians stood by
speechless and Schofield wept copi-
Gus tears. Just as the trial was
swinging underway and things booked
very black for Wimberley, pete"
yelled "Her Step Husband" and a
hundred Kiwanians cried out as one
man, "The show--the show!-he
thinks he is i'm the show!
Whereupon the atmosphere was
cleared and it became known that
Wimberley, when trying to break in
to the Penney store, was simply re-
hearsing his part as 'Limpy" Lanni-
gan, a dangerous yegg, who will
make his appearance in the Kiwanis
club show here Friday night at the
Grand theatre. Thus, a most en-
barrassing situation was solved sat
isfactorily and ,Wimberley was con-
graduated by Joseph Fairbanks, the
coach of the production, for his keen
interest in the play and for his real
istic action.
Word from Bisbee yesterday was
to the effect that at least 100 will
drive down from that city Friday to
see Her Step-Husband" at the
Grand. Many tickets have already
been sold there and the Kiwanians
of the mine city are gathering many
to their support for the trip.
Tickets for the production are now
on sale here at the Owl Drug COM
pany and those who intend to watch
the play from regular seats are
urged to procure their entrance cards
