Nodding, he turned and, with that
heel dragging stride so typical of the
habitual horseman, he made for the
door in a pleasurable state of confus-
ion. Behind him he heard the safe
door shutting with a gentle clang.
CAT seven o'clock sure?" he called
from the door.
"Seven o'clock sure" she nodded
with a curiously tight smile that mar
rowed her bright lips rather than cur
we'd them.
Out in the bright, hot sunlight Ken
blinked to readjust his eyes to the
glare. Suddenly he was aware of the
dark figure of man eclipsing row
of tents opposite. Instantly he recog-
nized it as familiar and one which by
no means aroused pleasant thoughts.
Beneath his buckskins, the frontiers
mans muscles tensed, for in the shade
of his black sombrero the CLEAN in
Meccalero Ted's very pale blue eyes
was direct and menacing. Queer, Ken,
reflected, Ted by no means resembled
the story-book type of william. In
stead of being dark, he was fair, with
strong blond hair and close clipped
blond mustache. Like Ken, he also
wore a buckskin shirt and trousers,
but instead of moccasins he affected
cowboys boots garnished with enor-
nous spurs, the needle-pointed rowels
of which were fashioned from silver
dollars.
The bigger mans hands were slight
ly extended, palms downwards, before
him and fingers spread and curved in
the attitude of gun fighter. In
stinctively, Ken had assumed the same
attitude. Such was the meat hunters
reputation that Mescalero Ted DELHI
erately and ostentatiously relaxed.

in the doorway. "You amt changed

and in the empty office their merri-
ment rang so loud that Mexican pass
ing the door stopped to peer in, quite
unaware that for Ken Chester the
world had suddenly become a surpris-
ingly pleasant spot.
"You still haven't told me what
you're going to do tonight" she re-
minded a moment later.
"Why-why-" Flushed, half sus-
picious of his good luck, Ken rushed
recklessly on and, drawing up his long
body much as he had before the cav
airy charge at Sabine Cross Roads,
said, "I-I was figgerin' I'd stop by
tonight and," the words came out with
a rush, "mebbe you'd like to go for

She deliberated, while filing away
the slip, expertly delaying her reply
just long enough to set his every nerve
on edge. At last with one of those
quick, bird-like motions of hers, she
faced him.
"Let me see. The theaters aren't
on tonight; there are no revivals, no
lectures and not single dance" Light
ly she enumerated the various amuse-
ments on pointed little fingers that
were nevertheless surprisingly strong
and capable looking. $50, Mr.. Ches-

in the park region. He quotes that "as

visitor, I from its group of white geyser
cones name it the Monument basin,
and I trust none will ever question the
Appropriateness of Beaver lake, OBJ

to localities which I have discovered
and explored"
Good roads have had much to do
with the tourist interest in Yellowstone
park and in this connection it is ap-
proprlate to mention a real pioneer
road making venture by Norris and
party. The record of Norris reads in
this regard:
"Obsidian there rises like basalt in
vertical columns many hundreds Of
feet high, and countless huge masses
had fallen from this utterly impossible
mountain into the kissing hot spring
margin of an equally impossible lake,
without either Indian or game trail
eyer the glistening fragments, Of ma
As this glass barricade sloped from
some 200 or 300 feet high against the
cliff at an angle of some As degrees
to the lake, we-with the slivered frag-
ments of timber thrown from the
heightS-with huge fires, heated and
expanded, and then, men well screened
by blankets held by others, by dashing
tured huge masses. Then with huge
levers, steel bars, sledge, pick and
shovels and severe iaceration Of at least
the hands and faces of every member
of the party, we rolled, slid, crushed
and shoveled one-fourth of a mile of
good wagon road midway along the
slope; it being, SO far as I am aware,
the only road of native glass upon the
continent"
Although Norris penned these few
notes in 1873, they serve as a reminder
that the heritage of Montanans and
every citizen of the nation includes the
privilege of seeing a land of natural
wonders uneXcelled by any place in the
world.

Bed-Ridden Old
Timer describes
DAYS Gone Past

Nick Murphy, who has been bed
ridden the past seven years at Butte,
always gets to reminiscing at the time
of his birthday. He was II years of
age Christmas day, 1885. He was one
of the early-day Butte miners and has
been in that city more than so years.
He told recently of an experience in
railroad building in the fall Of 1887. He
left his job in the mines and set out
for a construction job between Laurel
and Red Lodge where a narrow gauge
line was being built to haul coal from
the Red Lodge mines. Red Lodge
doomed considerably with a railroad
entering its midst, the boom consist
ing, principally, in more and tougher
saloons. Workers flocked there on pay
days, he recalled, and would stage the
widest sort of orgies while their money
held out.
Railroad laborers were a hardy
class" said Nick. "They had to be. It
was no job for a sissy. When they
weren't lined up at a bar they were
tossing their wages across some gam
bling table, many of which were
