Judge Satisfied, he turned the glasses
again upon tilc wagon.
Shoah was a pretty girl. The kid
never had seen such yellow hair i'll his
life. Wasn't much like that darned
stuck-up girl back home that had
made fun of his yellow eye. This girl,
Nellie, never noticed his eye.
He sighed and gave another sweep
ing glance at the valley. Shoah was a
funny thing about that funeral.
Reckon they were just trying to fool
him with it, like the girl limited.
Maybe they wanted to go all i'll a
bunch somewhere and couldn't figure
out any way to keep from being seen,
and maybe they just had a fake fu-
neral to fool any Poole rim rider that

"Wcll. wasn't you rim riding Oh the

time"
You're a Poole rider, amt you::'
poole. Poole rider - The old man
scrambled to a sitting posture, his face
working furiously as memory came
back with a rush. "One OF thon
Texas killers, l betcha Was it yo'l
dry -gulched my son, Ed? Where's my
gnng" He clawed futilely at his hip,
where 10 gun was holstered.
No, sub, it wasn't me"
The girl gave an involuntary shud-
der and closed her eyes for second

happened to be keeping cases. Plumb
somebody along over here to BUSH
whack him. The kid gave a sudden
grunt of understanding. The nesters
had sent somebody. all right. Or they
thought they had They'd sent Pete
Gorham. And Pete had kinda got
de-tracked, thinking lie could kill off
that old man and get the girl.
The kids face darkened at the sim
plicity of the scheme. Pete had
thought he could do it and lay it to
the Poole. They'd blame the Poole.
and they'd go running after them
harder than ever. But Pete didn't
make it stick. The kid had come along
and fixed Pete good and plenty.
There was something in her voice
that was like her hair. Something like
gold. Of course, yo'all couldn't say
voice was yellow, or had shiny
sound, but yo'all could kinda imagine
it was like gold. That girl down III
Texas-her voice was like a tin pan.
Funny about voices-they say more
than words, sometimes. More than a
person wants their voice to say. Hers
did. Hers said she'd shoah hate to
have anything happen to rim rider.
The kid rode dreamily along. watch
| ing the wagon as it bumped over the
dim trail in the grass. Watching just
in case she might need help or some
thing. Girl like that didn't belong
with no hester outfit She oughta have
some big rich cattleman for pappy
and ride around on a nice, gentle
horse.
The wagon finally turned into
shallow depression and was seen no
more from the rim. The kid marked
the place where she lived; marked it
with special significance Ill his mind.
Now and then he swept the valley
with perfunctory glance, but most
of the time he was staring at the ridge
which hid her home. A thin line Of
cottonwoods ran up along a creek
there. There were places where tie
tops of the trees showed above the
ridge One place, where the ridge
dipped a little, the kid thought he
could make out part of the roof Of
building. Might be rocks, but It sdoah
did look like roof.
The kid stirred uneasity ard let the
glasses drop from his eyes. \ l0ng,
oddly attcnuatcd shadow was sliding
stcalthly down the rocks beside him,
a big hat and pair of shoulders grow
ing longer as he looked. The kid
sprang up like startled deer, his gun
i'll his hand and pointing straight at
the man who stood looking at hifu.
Then suddenly the kid smiled sheep
ishly and tucked the gun back i'll its
holster.

"Saw funel ovah to Nate Vince

Babe charged griuly. What was the
matter? Paralyzed so you couldn't git

"No, suh, was right busy soon

"Shootin' a nestah"

her lip.
"Nate Wheelah's funeral the kid
finished softly. "Yes'm, | had the plea
suah of eah-mahlin' Pete the othaf

Then you're one of those Texa:
killers. They said it was Texas
killer done that. Pa. amt you able tc
get in the wagon? can drive, if yot
can sit and ride"
She was in hurry to get awal
from him, even though he had savee
iher from Pete Gorham. Saved he
and her pappy's life, and this was all
the thanks he got. The kid swung on
his heel and gave all his attention to
backing the wagon off the buckbush
so the team could be turned around.
He worked swiftly, surely, his cap
able hands never wasting motion,
never uncertain of the thing they
should accomplish. The team was
restless, wanting to go home, and the
kid turned to the girl.
"If yo'all would be so accomno-
datin' as to come hold these hawses a
minute" he said stiffly, "I'd be shoah
pleased to tote yoh pap ovah and lay
him in the wagon"
II kin walk, dang yc!" the old fell

Iexcept with the help of the kids arm
under his shoulders, taking all the
weight off the wobbly old legs.
"We're much obliged" the girl said
constrainedly, after he had lifted the
old man into the wagon. Even if you
are a rim rider for the Poole, l want
to thank you for-all you've done"
Then she looked at Pete Gorham
who sat cursing beside sage-bush
took her foot down off the hub, and
came over to where the kid stood
stroking the nose of the horse he was
holding by the bride.
IF you don't kill Pete Gorhanl
he'll kill you," she said ill fierce
undcrtone.
Reckon it'll be a right smaht while
befo' he's able" The kid did not look
at her.
i She glanced again toward the quer-
ulous murmur of her dads voice
"You better quit the Poole ard ge
outa the country" she said hurriedly
The valley folkSll kill you-"
She seemed to think that was saying
more than she dared, for she turnet
sharply away and drove off.

toward the valley.

They further state that they are paying laborers to move furniture and clean up the building at rate of three dollars per day while the cus- todian at the building pays but three dollars and thirty three cents for the same type of help. The Custodian of the building confirms the statement of the contractors as to the wages paid painters but adds that laborers receive $4.25 and up. As a con- sequence, MT. Heath feels that the painters are being fairly treated but has directed the con- struction engineer to take the matter up with the contractors and insist that laborers be paid the prevailing wage.

EXTENSION OF NATIONAL
 PARKS

The evident intention of the National Park Service to give encouragement to the proposi- tion of establishing a modern hotel in Mckinley National Park has given rise to the fear on the part of those people residing within a few miles of the park that the park may be enlarged and extended farther north, Sc as to include many who would be- subject to Bureau regulations. But the Service in Washington knows of no such intention. Di- rector Horace M. Albright has not yet returned from his re- cent visit to Alaska, where he had to be treated at the hospital for appendicitis, and who may have some important announce ments to make concerning the future glory of the Park.

The recent death of former Congressman Judge William C. Houston of Tennessee, has caus- cd much sincere regret among his old colleagues at the Nation al Capital. His memory will al- ways be held in the highest re- gard by Alaskans who know of his unfailing support of all mea- sures that had to do for the ben eft of the Territory.
