He laughed bit sheepishly.

CHAPTER II

Able Armitage, justice of the peace
in Lineup, looked over his spectacles
into the face of the prisoner before
him and twinkle appeared in his
keen blue eyes. He asked:
"Now, young man, you're charged
with assault and battery on the person
of Nicholas Brandon. Are you guilty?"
From the rear windows of his clut-
tered little office, Able had watched
young Ben Elliott emerge from the
status of a complete stranger to the
populace to that Of its latest hero by
sending Mr.. Bull Duval to damp and
ignominious finish in the log birling.
After that he picked up an old clari-
net and commenced to play hating,
aimless and not completely musical
tune.
He was so occupied either with the
musical performance or with his
thoughts that he did not hear the
tramp of many feet on the walk out
side and was unaware that he was
about to be called on to function in
an official capacity. When the door
opened, though, and Ben Elliott, Hick-
ems, the sheriff, and Nicholas Brandon,
followed, it seemed, by the total male
population of the county, surged
through the doorway the clarinet's
squawking leaped into shrill sQueal
and died away. The judges feet
dropped to the floor and he swung his
chair to face the entrance.
The sheriff stated his errand, the
complaint was drawn. Nicholas Bran
don affixed his signature and then for
the first time Able looked closely into
the face of the defendant.
It was long and searching look
and was met steadily by pair of clear,
steel-gray eyes which seemed, on care
full inspection, to be struggling to hold
back an expression that might, If per-
mitted to develop. have proved to be
a mischievous smile.

Origin of English Toy
Spaniel Much Disputed

Retrousse nose, abundant coat and
highly intelligent expression-thosea are
the chief characteristics Of the Eng
lish Toy Spaniel, observes an authority
in the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There are four classes of English Toy
Spaniels-King Charles, Blenheim,
Ruby and Prince Charles. King
Charles have a black and tan coat.
Blenheim have red and white coat,
Ruby a solid red and Prince Charles
a tricolor coat.
Under an American Kennel club rul-
ing in 1902, English Toy Spaniels were
classed together in a general group.
Another standard for the breed was
adopted by the Toy Spaniel Club of
America in 1909.
The origin of the Toy Spaniel is so
much disputed that Pug, Malteset.
Pekingese. Jap and even the Bulldog
have been credited with a share in its
ancestry. A cross probably was used
to obtain the present short-faced spe-
cimen.
Toy Spaniels date back to the Six
teenth century. They were in high ia
vor before the restoration of the House
of Stuart in England.
Since the days OF King Charles,
whose name they bear. they have been
closely associated with royalty. They
reached the zenith Of their popularity
during the reign of James II, who bred
them extensively.

with both hands, letting his pack slip
to the sidewalk. The clutch on Don
Stuart's arm loosened. With a snarl
Brandon drew back and swung for
Ben's jaw. Elliott ducked, swayed for
ward and bending his supple body
caught Brandon about the middle,
drove his head into the mans chest,
raised knee to his groin, lifted him
from his feet, swung, showed and flung
him free.
With sharp oath Brandon went
down in the half-thawed mire of the
street, sprawling ANONYMOUSLY on his
back.
Well, nowl This was something else
again. Men had been coming, edging
cautiously near during the brief argu-
ment between Elliott and Nicholas
Brandon. But when Brandon, the man
who ruled Lineup and its county, was
seen lifted from his feet and tossed
ignominiously into the mud, trampled

BILE to his feet. Their voices were
raised in incredulity. In two decades
and more no man save Bird-Eye Blaine
had dared lift even his voice in Tin
cup in other than respect for Nicholas
Brandon. And now this stranger had
picked him up and thrown him away |!
But Brandon was up, lurching for
the sidewalk where Ben Elliott stood,
legs spread, fists clenched but with
good humor repossessed and grinning
as he had grinned at Bull Duval; grin
ming as man will who loves combat
for its own sake and not at all as one
who fights in red rage.
However his smile faded and his jaw
settled as Brandon uplifted his face in
that rush. Murder was there, in the
black eyes, in the loose hanging of the
lower lip, in the purple flush of his
cheeks. Murder, and no less. AS quick
ly as that homicidal look had come, it
passed. Something like fear swept
those eyes, driving it away. Not fear
of this encounter, Ben knew; not fear
of a stronger, younger man. Some
thing else again; something entirely
different. 1t was the sort of fear that
comes from within; the kind of fear a
man has for his own impulses.
Brandon halted abruptly. His fists
relaxed into hands and with one of
them he brushed rather aimlessly at
mud on his sleeve.
A dozen men were close, then, hold
ing back, watching, waiting listening.
Others were coming; many more,

through melting puddles. keyed to

halted, looking up into Elliott's face

Skunk Given Rating as
Friend of the Farmer

Investigation by the United States
bureau Of biological survey shows
that the main diet of skunks consists
of grasshoppers, crickets, beetles,
mice, rats, ground squirrels, pocket
gophers and sometimes stems of sue
culent plants. They are not averse
to a ground bird If they can catch
them, and now and then, they are
caught raiding farm chicken house.
However, bureau of biological sur
vey reports show that skunks rare
ly make these raids, preferring to
do their hunting at distances from
the haunts of men.
Although usually safe because of
its protective "smell-gun," the skunk
sometimes falls victim to wolves,
coyotes, foxes, badgers, and great
horned owls.
The general color of the skunk is
black with a thin white stripe be-
tween the eyes. This stripe forks
at the shoulders and continues along
the sides until it reaches the tail.
The tail is furred with black hairs
with white bases, and ends usually
in white tuft. There is much va
Ration in width of these stripes,
trappers preferring pelts with the
narrower stripes.

easiest fur-bearing animals to rec
ognize.

 Strikes Luxurious Note. The picture was one of luxury personified. The horses, covered with costly blankets in bright rac- | ing stable colors, represented small l fortunes. The feminine spectators wore clothes straight from Paris, collections and topped them off with enough silver fox to make one doubt that such a thing as a depression ever existed.
 The bright warm sunshine on the greener than green grass and trees made haidsome back ground for the navy blue and American beauty ensembles that
 set the color scheme for outstand- ing costumes.
 There were exceptions to the color rule, of course, and soctety's grand old dowager, Mrs Cornelius Vanderbilt, was a noticeable one. In a purple suit of roughly woven material, fabric shoes, dyed to match, purple hat and purple cor
 duory top coat, she was the most vivid spot of color beneath the | famous pine tree where, during the afternoon. everyone passed at least twice.
 White Hats Are Favorites. White hats of organdy, pique and straw were as much a fla vorite as Alfred Gwynee Wander bilt's Discovery" in the fourth

 woman, who stood at the rail and
