He wandered up the wide stairs. Memories
of his boyhood came back to him. It was on

Idly why she was so keen on his settling down.

plentiful. Cowboys, in from long stay on the
open range. wanted excitement. And they
usually got it rather quickly.
THEY all carried six-shooters, and every man
] could use one with either hand and be
lightning quick about it. They all drank
whisky-if there were any who didn't, I never
saw or heard of them. They got drunk,
gambled got into quarrels, and then "shot it
out" in some saloon or out on the street. The
best man-the quickest with his gln-won.
Some of the fights were as savage rs any
war, and perhaps 10 to so men belonging to
two or more outfits" from different ranches
would cut loose at each other and keep at it
until one side helplessly outnumbered
that the fight just naturally ran down and
quit for the want OF something to shoot it.
I have been present when several of these
fights happened to flare up. I've seen man
knocked fiat by bullet that tore a tunnel
through him. I've seen others go down shoot
ing and keep it up until they we're riddled with
bullets I've seen them stop a bullet and just
look surprised, then settle down in heaps
dead when they reached the ground.
Yes, I've seen all that lur1d gunplay of the
old days, and yet never actually took part, nor
have ever fired a gun at human being in
a long life all over the old West. But saw it

Masks Made Of Fine
Inrqu0ises

TURQUOISES were at one time so plentiful
] in Mexico that the Aztec Indians used
thousands of them in masks which they wore
for their religious ceremonies. Big ones and
little ones were cemented together over cedar
frame to make covering for the face. The
teeth and eyes were inlays of mother Of pearl
Some say turquoise, turks, is named after
Turkey, whence came the stones that were used
in old European jewelry. Really the finest ones
came from Persia but that was before the
wealth of the blue and green stones of America
had been commercialized. Long ago the
Apache and Pueblo Indians Of Southwestern
United States used them in quantities, for
turquoiSes, unlike most stones, do not have to
be mined, but appear on the surface OF the
ground in bright, greenish-blue spots and stains.
The Indians used to gather the turquoises and
rub them down into the shape of beads which
they wore in long strings. Imagine how costly
such a string would be today when one small
stone, while it does not rank in value with the
diamond, sapphire, ruby emerald is still Of
sufficient value to bring a good price.
The various peoples that have been particu-
larly fond of turquoises have attached most
curious superstitions to them. The Opaque blue
and green color of the stones is suggestive of
the freshness of grass. the blue of water. That's
why Pensions and Egyptians carried them in the
desert, to bring good luck for the finding Of an
oasis where they might be refreshed on the
journey. The PeTsians fastened them to the
tails of their horses, mules and camels.
In Europe it was once believed that the word
turquoise meant victorious, or fortunate. Be-
cause the turquoise frequently changes color,
turning from a sky-blue shade to q paler green
ish hue, people fastened a superstition to it.
saying that the stone shone when the air was
pure but became dim when ill fortune was
about. TurquoiseS, when worn, were considered
insurance against persons being struck by
lightning or being drowned.

I'm THE early days of the West, before there
were any roads, we Travelled across country
on horseback, with pack horse to carry
our grub and camp outfit. We made trips
u of 10 miles and thousand, with the
Summer temperature running up to ITO
degrees during the day, and with water hard
to get and poor when found.
Under such conditions we travelled great
deal at night. The wind may blow hard on the
plains during the daytime, but it usually goes
down with the sun, leaving the nights calm and
quiet And that is the time to ride! All the
night-roaming creatures are about their busi-
ness of living so one hears things and, if it is
moonlight sees things that he would never hear
or see otherwise
Big wolves glide about like shadows their
backs silvery gray when they get between the
onlooker and the moon. But If they are stand
ing still, and ON the other side they blend with
the landscape that they disappear entirely.
COMETIMES one would ride right in among
- bunch of buffalo lying down Then what
Snorting and rattle of hoofs and horns there
would be as the animals jumped to their feet
and stampeded. If they happened to rush
toward you instead of the other way (and a
bewildered herd sometimes did just that it
was dangerous situation and probably some
shooting had to be done to turn them. And
shooting at night was bad business, for the
sound of shot would travel far on the night
air, possibly to bring band of raiding Indians
down on the shooter
Then again, wild horses might come racing
down a rider, led by a fast wild stallion
who would try his best to run ones own horses
of with his herd. 1t might be necessary to
shoot the leader to save ones stock.
The sky would be peppered with stars and
look miles Deep One heard bird cries. little
animal noises, faraway, vague, unrecognizable
sounds. He felt the cool night air and smelled
that queer, dry smell that hangs over a desert.
And life was good TO the night rider then, with
the chance Of adventure lurking in every bend
of the trail
a FTER the buffalo and the Indians had had
~ their day, and before the homesteaders
came In and took over the great plains country
west of the Missouri River, the cattle men had
their inning. Ranches were established here
and there on water, and great herds of Texas
cattle were driven north to Craze on the old
buffalo range
1t was wild business, handling those long
horn cattle. for they could run like a deer and
were as untarned any actual wild animals in
the world. 1t took wild men-gun- packing men
with quick trigger fingers and short tempers
they were-to handle them, and there was
hardly any but cowmen in the whole
region
When the cattle were ready for market they
were rounded up, each rancher's brand was
"cut out" into herd by itself and then driven
to the nearest railroad often several hundred
miles away, for shipment to market. When the
cattle were shipped and of the cowboys hands,
pandemoinum broke loose and wild doings were
