1926 for goods worth 1924. Almost as

CHAPTER X

All through the range and as far
south as the railroad it was current
gossip that the Three Bar would pay
a thousand dollars reward for each of
fifteen men, a fast saddle horse
thrown in and no questions asked. The
men were named, and If the rumor
was based on truth 1t was virtually
placing a bounty on the scalps of GER

bounty on the scalps of wolves-ex-

would stand the light; for the whis-

intimated that new names would be
added to the original list to include
those who fraternized with the ones

Those not branded by this alleged
bounty system were quick to grasp the
beautiful simplicity of 1t all. Some

No Mental Handicap
in Defective Speech

Many educators have held that slut
tering is an evidence of psychopathic
traits in the mental makeup, and that
the child who shutters is handicapped
in his educational progress. But &C.
cording to recent tests made by DR..
Elizabeth D. Mcdowell of Columbia
university, the fault Of suffering in a
pupil carries with it no lessening of
ability.
Doctor Mcdowell experimental with
7,138 school children, making tests to
indicate the comparative standing in
intelligence of Sufferers and nonstut-
tiers, school achievement, emotional ad-
justment, physical fitness, and various
speech defects.
She found that the suffering pupil
had as high Intellectual capacities as
the normal child, that his vocabulary
is just as good, and that physically
he is better off. 1t was even found
that suffering child could rattle off
as many words in a three-minute pc
Rod as anyone else.

Diplomacy Not Small
Girls Strong Point

The time was an autumn after
noon, the place was at an East side
drug store and the characters were
two women and little girl.
The conversation which was being
carried on over their soda glasses had
drifted to the fact that Rev. Mr.
Blank had been at the home Of Mrs
Jones the day before for lunch. The
conversation ran thus:
II would sure hate to be the wife
Of minister" exclaimed Mrs. Smith
"Don't s'pose I'd like it, either "
said Mrs. Jones.
"Do you think a minister would
have me for wife?" asked Mrs. Smith
turning to the child, who was Mrs
Jones' little daughter.
II expect he would" replied the lit.
tie girl. "The ministers aren't sup
posed to pick the pretty ones."-

Peculiarly of Mankind

Human nature often manifests itself
In ways that puzzle the scientists
dealing primarily with material rather
than mental research, according to
chemists in the laboratories of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. AS an example, one points out
the history Of efforts that led up to
passage of the federal food and drugs
act AT a comparatively early date
the chemists advocated and secured
passage of laws requiring manufac.
turers of fertilizers to state accu
rately the constituents of the products
they marketed. They next worked for
the passage of similar laws controlling
the purity of cattle feeds, and then
finally Of human foods. "Strange as
1t may SEEM" the chemist observes
"the control of the quality Of the prod.
ucts used by man himself is always
the last and most difficult to secure"

Two Were One

1t happened recently on Fifth
avenue bus. Occupying the preferred
position next to the windows on three
separate seats were mother and
two children. The conductor ap-
peared and presented the coin box to
the mother. She put In two dimes.
The conductor said nothing, but he
looked hurt and waited. That didn't
produce any effect, so he remarked TO
the mother, who was young and good
looking, "But there are three Of you"
"Oh," replied the mother, smiling
sweetly, "but those two children are
twins"
There was nothing more to be said.

It Had the Effect OF Causing the Men
So Branded to View All Others
With Suspicion.
Ristine, had wiped out the wild bunch
that preyed on the Nations Cow-trail-
that the Gallatin cleanup had result
ed from q like report which AL Moody
was reported to have launched.
1t had the effect of causing the men
so branded to view all others with
suspicion, as possible aspirants out to
collect the bounty on their heads. The
reference to the fast saddle horse was
guarantee that no questions would be
asked before the price was paid and
no questions answered after the re-
cipient had ridden away from the
Three Bar with his spoils.
Yet, If the thing we're true. 1t was
the most fragrant violation of the law
ever launched. even in the Coldriver
Strip where transgression was the
rule. For the branded men were not
wanted on any charge. 1t was merely
the wholesale posting of rewards for
the lives of some fifteen citizens whose
standing in the community was legal
ly the same as the rest-prize money
offered by an individual concern for
it's enemies without reference to the
law. On every possible occasion Har
ris fatty denied that there was a
shred of truth in the report But these
very natural denials had served only
to strengthen mems belief in the truth
of the report; and inevitably they had
established hard line that cut off
the men so named from the rest Of
the countryside.

questioned the boys.
