McLEARY, Wash, Aug. IL - When Fred Johnson gave up pros pecting for gold to whip 40 acres of timberland near here into a farm, he remembered the legiondary achievement of Paul Bunyan and his blue OK, Babe Johnson bought a team of oxen.
 A veteran of the Spanish-Ameri- can and World wars, he named them Franklin Roosevelt and John Garner-in honor, he says, of the two men he credited for the sol- diers' benefits that helped him pay for his land.
 Though Bunyan is reputed to have dug Puget Sound in a single day with Babe, Johnson, with Franklin and John, has spent three years clearing half his land and hauling in logs for his cabin and two sturdy barns.
 Johnson learned to manage oxen on an Indiana farm half a century ago and further developed this ability with the army in the Phil ippines. An OK may be bit stub born, he says, but on the whole is better company than most men.
 Between jobs of log shaking Johnson hitches his oxen to yoke his grandfather made and uses them to pull an occasional stray automobile from a mud hole on the stump-studded road between his farm and MeCleary. He says they will do more work on less food than any horse
 Franklin is tall and rangy, John shorter and calmer Johnson at- taches no political significance to the fact they had falling out" on the range last winter and no longer can be left alone in the same field for fear they will gore each other with their 15-inch horns.

could tell by the horses footprints
that he was moving fast. The Rangers
urged their horses, but when the sun
had set they had not caught sight of
the fugitive.
mo use to crowd on" Love de-
cided. I'VE can't follow the trail; we
can be sure he won't slip of to one
side and let us 60 by. So we'll wait
till morning"
In the morning the trail lay clear
before them, but though they followed
it all day they failed to catch up with
their quarry. BY late afternoon they
were well down into the lower end of
the Salinas Valley and the mission
was in sight And then they came
across Joaquin's horse lying spent and
dying in the trail. Love put the ami
NAL out of its misery and rode on, for
if Joaquin had continued afoot he had
skillfully avoided leaving a trail.
Half mile from the fallen horse
they met a man afoot who reported
that a blood-stained, white faced,
half-dead Mexican had stolen his sad
die horse half an hour previous. The
man lurched out at him from the
trees beside the trail and threatened
him with bowie knife. Since he was
unarmed he had had no choice but to
surrender his horse. He informed Love
that the man was very weak from
wounds and could not possibly ride
very far.
After securing a description Of the
stolen horse and saddle, Love and his
men rode on into San Juan Bautista
And it was then that Bill Warren had
an inspiration.
Follow me, captain" he told Love
Joaquin's race is run and he is too in
telligent not to realize it. While he
could defend himself-while he had
the strength to enforce his demands
his own people were always afraid to
betray him, but he knows now that the
first Mexican who sees him will cap
ture him. think I know where to
find him."
He led the Rangers over to the mis-
sion and they dismounted and en-
tered the old churchyard. He'll come
here" Bill whispered, "to die or to
make a last visit before pushing on
elsewhere. I know his habits. He's
mighty sentimental"
They walked in under the gloom OF
some trees and waited. Presently the
moon came up-and a faint sound
broke the stiffness. 1t was the jingle

and clank Of a spur. Then another
a man walking. But-the jingle and
clank were uneven, as If the man who
wore those spurs staggered :. . a blur
showed in the entrance in the ceme-
terry wall and a bareheaded man
lurched through. He moaned slightly
and fell to his knees, lay there mo-
ment and got up again. Across Gods
little acre he staggered and the clank
of his spurs echoed along the ancient
walls. He leaned on toombstones to
rest and recuperate his waning
strength from time to time. At one
grave he paused and they heard him
swapping off the shrubbery that grew
there.
The Rangers and Bill Warren left
the shadow of the trees and stepped
softly after him through the dry
grass.
"Ah, my Rosita" they heard the
man moan. Jesus, madre, my poor
Juanita. I come to join you" He
broke off into incoherent mumblings
in Spanish; he fell, he rose, he fell
again and it was obvious that his
strength was failing fast, that he was
a little delirious. But-he found the
four graves and on the middle one he
fell again, and there was silence.
After a while Bill Warren stepped
forward and rolled him over and Love
and his Rangers gazed down on the
dead face bathed In the moonlight. "A
thief to the last" Love remarked. "He
helped himself to roses from another
grave to lay them on the grave of his
wife, but somehow a fellow can under
stand that sort of pillaging. Is this
our man, Warren?"
This" said Bill Warren huskily,
used to be Joaquin Murietta."
