ready for travel. Leslie came up
presently with the white horse.
.Black leather an silver trim

1ngly. "Never seen him SO dressed
up. An the son-of-a-gun is smart
enough to know he looks grand
"He's smart" agreed Rock, with
shining eyes. Nov we'll see if
he'll hang me ON the fence"
"Reckon you can ride most any
thin',' observed Leslie. his appre-
ciative glance running over Rock.
The white horse took Rocks
mount easily, praneed and ehamped
a little, and tossed his head.
Good day and good luck,
raneher," said Rock.
"Same to you. Cowboy replied
Leslie, heartily. "Reckon you don't
need any advice about them hard
nuts down in the Pass"
sNeed it all right, but can't wait.
When you see Sol tell him I'm off
fine and dandy reioined Rock.
With that he headed down the
road which the Prestons had taken
the preceding day. Before Rock
was far out of town he had aseer-
tanned his horse was a fast walker
and had an easy trot. For speed
and endurance, Leslie had commit
ted himself to the claim that no
horse in the country could approach
him.
'fI'ye hit the trail" sang out
Rock, explosively, tho it was a
broad, well-trodden road that he
was travelling.
AS many times as he had ridden
out from Wagontongue and other
towns. and from the innumerable
range camps all over the West,
not one of them had ever been like
this venture.
Out of town a little way Rock I
caught up with a young rider who
had evidently seen him.
'sHowdy, eowboy!" he greeted
Rock.
'Howdy, yourselfr returned
Rock, genially.
'I seen you was up on Leslie's
white hoss, so I waited

"Nope, not yet. I hope to land

easy, if you will stand long
hours an poor wages. Preston pays
less than any rancher hereabouts.o
NHow much" queried Rock, as if
it was important.
"Forty, with promise of more.
But no puncher ever sticks long
to get more"
AWhat you mean by easy?"
E'Preston is always hard up fer
riders. Reckon he's only got
couple beside his sons. He asked
me yestidday if I wanted job"
whats the reason no cowboy
ever rides long for Preston?"

Borah a Lonely Eagle of the Rockies

Sen. ". E. Borah of Idaho is known to fame as the
Lone Eagle. He is a lonely eagle. He demanded recog-
milton of the Soviet of Stain by the Hoover administration.
His petition was tossed into the waste basket. Just the
other day he demanded that Pres. Hoover should call a
conference of nations to restore silver to its proper place.
He did not name the place. He was given the icy stare
by the chief magistrate. His conference was fruitful in
another direction. Sen. Borah is a pro. He emerged
from the White House and let it be known that the presi-
dent had not made a new departure and that he would
stand like a stone wall against the repeal of the 18th
amendment or the modification of the Vostead act.
Sen. Borah declares that the decentralization of silver
ruined the human family by ~flattening out their pocket
books and paralyzing all industries. How could this
have been possible? In the campaign of 1923 Sen.
Borah made many speeches in Texas. He begged Of the
Texans to cast their ballots for Hoover and Curtis and
the republican party in order that the high tide of pros
perity should roll on forever and he promised that in the
event of a republican victory the country would prosper as
never before and all the people would be richer and hap
pier than ever before. Silver was demonetized away
back in 1878. Now why blame the economic crash of
1929 on something that happened in 1873. Borah is a
man of noble impulses and eloquent voice work. II,
travels alone and he never deserts the republican band
wagon in campaign years.

There is no cause OF death more
serious for aSchild than rheumatic
heart disease. In the children that

complete Gripping Of the heart
with long periods Of invalidism. The
condition Is difficult to diagnose
early, and its control, once estab-
lished, taxes the scientific knowl-

Recently a group OF Minneapolis
physicians surveyed the records OF
500 children between five and 10
years Of age who were studied at
one clinic in that city because they
had signs and symptoms indicating
heart disease and rheumatic mani
festations. Children were studied
by all OF the scientific means we
now have available. including the
taking OF the complete record OF
the child's condition from birth. a
record OF its fever, an examination
OF the chest by the usual listening

Mew York
Letter

NEW YORK-Manhattan's fastest
three--ing circus Is the new Wal
oorf- Astoria Hotel, a dizzy panorama
Of wonders which now joins the list
OF what-to-see in New York.
Like the big-top shows, the new
hostelry has its freaks and its specta-
cular stellar attractions; it has bi-
zarre innovations and acres Of lux
ury. There is a super-Special suite
that costs s125 q day and there are
ritzy clubs whose bookings Of spe-
cial quarters make n ponder the
question Of the much discussed de-
preston. Although I'm inclined to be
bored by statistics, 1t Is somewhat
surprising to learn that 1900 Holsters
are gobbled up in a single half hour;
that 1900 walters are standing about
waiting; and that somebody's pri-
vate railroad train Is parking down
where the basement ought to be.
When it came TO luxurieS, the old
Waldorf was not exartly q Slourn.
The old-timers recall the time when
David Moffatt, the multi-millionaire
weSterner whose name decorates the
Moffatt road, hove into town and
decided to take up quarters in tire
historic Waldorf. Looking over the
place, he leased q suite which in
Guided a private ballroom, a drawing
room and any number of bedrooms.
Yet he used the quarters only q
couple Of times a year. when ne
came TO New York for directors
meetings.
The early days Of the famous old
place IN colorful with tales Of
bonanza kings in from the west on
spending spurts. There was, for in
stance, the picturesque Henry Ia
Dor. whose daughter became known
as Silver Dollar" Tabor because her
daddy had been so lucky at hitting
pay dirt"
Well. that's all past tense now.
In the new hostelry, for instance,
you'll find a telephone gadget that
keeps track Of the checking-in and
checking out Of several thousand
people.
For some reason or other, every
important new building has its quota
Of folk who want to be the first 20
register and the first to use the
phone and the first to ride in the
elevator and the first TO occupy a
room-and all thatl
Invariably they are visitors who
can 90 back home and tell the folks
al about 1t.
A gent from Grand Rapids. Mich,
by name Of A. K. Kusterer, sent ms
luggage TO the hotel q week before
it was officially ready for occupancy,
kept the room for a night and then
took the tram back home. He carried
an autographed receipt by way OF a
collectors item.
Oh yes. and there's a thirteenth
floor. But no numeral "13" Is al
lowed 20 appear on the panels. Thus.
for instance, the numbers skip from
6l2 to 614-just to keep the super
stitiouS happy.
And. lest I forget-you are not
a guest" when you register at the
new Waldorf.
You're a patron"
Something like $50 people made all
sorts Of offers to be the first pat
ron" And to avoid the embarrass-
ment Of seeming to show favoritism
the first official patron" was the
chairman of the hotel board, Char
les Hayden.
That section reserved for dogdom
-and only the swankiest purps are
likely TO occupy it-had one &C.

Opening of the football season brings to mind again
one of the most curious features of the autumn sport-the
feet that football coaches are the worlds most confirmed
pessimists.
In other sports it is considered proper to look for
victory now and then. A baseball teams manager will
announce, on the eve of battle, that he confidently ex-
poets his players to knock the spots off the opposition. A
prize fighter will tell all and sundry that he will hammer
his foe into jelly.
But football? The coachs voice gets sad when you
ask him for a prediction. He tells you of injuries, of poor
material, of all sorts of bad omens, and leaves you feeling
that his team will be lucky if it avoids complete annihila-
ton.
What is there about football that causes that, any
way?

MARY was too surprised TO move
~ for an instant. What could
be the matter with Cornelia, that
she should behave like that?
At Mary's call, Dirk wheeled
about SO abruptly that the clinging
girl toppled and almost fell.
Come quick, Dirk Something
terrible has happened!" Without a
backward look. Dirk came running
and took the steps TO her side in
. single bound.

to death, honey" he asked wor.
riedly. The terror in her eyes
stabbed him with oncern His arm
went about her p~rotectingly. They

excited tumble. almost crying with
the Joy OF relief.
do you think It's anything to do

shoulder. In spite OF herself. Mary
telt treasured.
THAT kid? why, you're all
mixed up. This is something else.
That kid wouldn't hurt a fiy!" He
pressed her hand comfortingly and
they started for the house.
Dirk called sharply, Coming.

Cornelia, still standing where he
had left her. moved forward con-
v~ulsively at his command.
They had reached the loggia
