His father had missed Grady and his

you've missed your train, Dadl" he
cried happily. "It's three minutes past

dusk. ''The joke will be on Grady" he
said. II guessed it was late but
wouldn't have left this game for any
amount Of money. Why, 1t will be q
whole year before we can see another

Next year it will be at New Haven, "
said Jimmie.
Wen go, together said his father.
The seconds wore on. People crowded
around the exits, jamned up in the
aisles. Black. indiStinct masses Of spec
tators milled about the goal posts, at
each end of the field. Locked In the
center Of the field, in a grinding Strug-

knew that over in section ~ his mother
must be making ready to leave.

asked.
Bright blue eyes ga1ed reproachfuly

white beard. If the town amt big
enough for me and my dogs then It
amt big enough for me, he said. They
and me have weathered good times and
bad times for 10 years. Once Spot saved
my life. 1t was when a darned rattle

snake. That meant bad luck But he
caught every rattlesnake that crossed
his path, defanged II and then released

when I woke up there was Spot a.

But why didn't you drive to town
to q doctor?"
WHAT Leave the sheepl" Pete said
That is the credo Of the true sheep
herder. Never leave the sheep. Give up
Winter settled down upon us in dead
earnest that year. II was bitterly cold.
The wind shrieked about our shack and
drifts OF snow piled high Two weeks
passed, then three, and we began to
miss old Pete and worry about him. So
one day we bundled up and climbed
Antelope Point We breathed a sigh Of
relief There were the sheep and there
were the dogs. Pete must be coy and
comfortable inside his wagon. We wal
lowed through deep snow to the wagon.
And we found old Pete. He was lying in
his bunk but he was not coy and COM
Portable. There was no fire in the little
stove. He was wearing his overcoat and
had every available garment and rag
piled over him for warmth. His face
was scarcely recognizable It was so
puffed and black Strips Of skin had
peeled off and hung in shreds. The
nose looked like anything but human
nose. One arm seemed quite useless.
Pete was a very sick man. We asked
him how 1t happened.
1T was the night Of the blizzard, "
he told US, about a week ago. The
pesky sheep kept drifting with the
wind. right toward the edge Of the
Point. Me and the dogs had a hard
time trying to keep 'em back. If one
Of EN- had went over they'd all a-gone.
So we kept fightin' 'em all night. Some
times I huddled in amongst EN-. trying
TO get warm. I guess got frost bit
But. Pete" we said, why didn't you
get back to the wagon and make a good
fire2"
oh" he said. YEARLY, between
coughs, I'VE couldn't do that. The pesky
sheep would have gone clean over the
butte and piled up in the coulee"
While my husband started to town
for a doctor, I built a fire and gave
Pete hot drinks. We did everything we
could for him. but, a week later, he /
died. A simple old man who had Decn

ing James Givens Jr. If you don't mind
and if it could be arranged"
Just then whistle Shrilled, great
below went up from the crowd and the
game was overI
Jimmie and his father stood up.
The father said huskily, Nothing
would please me more, Son-h you
really want to?" There was a question
In the way James Owens fastened to
answer it.
Want tot" he said. In a choked
voice, Gee, Dad"
The crowds pushed by them as they
stood together, oblivious to anyone but
themselves-dark eyes looked up into
gray ones and James Givens' big right
hand went over to his sons shoulder.
That's swell, Jimmie marvelousl' r.
said James Givens. then he stopped.
But wait-we must ask your mother. +"
And he knew that he wanted to ask
Marion other things as well-many
things. that, perhaps after the long
years that had passed, she now might
let him ask her
"Oh, she'd like tim sure Of that, :"
said Jimmie eagerly, as he seized his
fathers arm. Let's go ask her. She's
waiting for me at the exit Of section
q. Come on, Dad, let's gol"
Perhaps it was young Jimmie's en-
thusiasm that gave courage to the
heart Of his father. But at any rate,
there in the shadows in the cheering
section of the grim old stadium, James
Givens, once Jimmie Great Civ

son and echoed the words.

Pete, the Old Sheepherder
BY GLENDOLIN DAMON WAGNER

winters in the Little Rockies, SELLING
IurS at Fort Benton, until the country
got kind Of crowded. Then he drifted
further west. He'd been herding sheer
now for about 20 years No, he never
got lonesome. He had his dogs. They
were better company than most humans
ana mad more sense. He had trained
Shep and Spot from pups, so, a mile
away, they could see and understand
and obey the slightest gesture of his
arm. Some dogs, Pete said, were born
WIN sheep sense and some were not.
II they weren't graced at birth with
tnaJ sense nothing could pound 1t into
them: He thanked us for the water and
said he'd better be getting back TO his
sheep. BE had them grazing up on the
point. We started at that. Antelope
Point was our land. But, since it didn't
promise any crop more fruitful than
stones and rattlesnakes, we decided the
sheep could not do much harm.
Stunned NeighbOrs
Often after that my husband and 1
would climb the steep side Of the butte
with neighborly offerings piece of
IRE IreSn cake, 2 quarter Of dried apple
pie, some doughnuts. Old Pete ac-
knowledged the gifts with q curt: "Put
the stuff in the wagon, Maybe I'll eat
1t after while If get around to it."
For Pete, at first, was not inclined to
be neighborly. We were homesteaders,
sagebrushers, and therefore sworn enc
mics OF the sheepman. We were un-
welcome tntruders in the sheepherders
paradise. We would make roads and
plow up good grazing land and fence
off water holes all Of which, Of course,
we intended to do as soon as our flat
tened purse would permit. Whether old
Pete ever ate our stuff" we never
knew, but usually, when he returned
the empty plate his shoulders were
sagg1ng under the weight Of freshly
killed lamb, and he was gruesomely
CORY with the blood Of the animal. we
were IaF more enthusiastic over his
glft tnan he was over ours. To home
