CAN'T LET ROPE GO

His horse, wise to the business,
stood braced for the jerk that
should throw the animal. Instead,
however, Pytheus in his excite
ment forgot all about Snubbing
the rope on his saddle horn.
He grabbed it instead in his
wrestler's grip as it slithered out
from his hand. His grip was per-
feet. So perfect in fact that he
left the saddle in a beautiful arc,
The rope had become Snubbed
around his hand now so that he
couldn't let go and he was dragged
at a gallop through a cloud Of
dust that looked like a small
tornado was forming. Matson'S
own rope stopped the animal in
quick order, but when the dust
cleared away, Pytheus, thoroughly
scraped and scuffed was beginning
to wonder if perhaps he was not
cut out to be cowboy after all.
Being tossed into the cactus bed
was the result really of his new
spurs. A tumble weed had sudden
ly blown up in his horses face
and at its sudden swerve and side
step, Pete had frightened his leg
grip and would have retained his
seat if only he had remembered
his new spurs.
TWO STARTLED THINGS
Instead Of only a side pressure
of his legs, he also brought his
heels around and the long spurs
dug deep into the beasts side. 1t
would be hard to say which was
most startled, the horse or Ply
theus. The horse showed his true
ability, gave a tremendous leap,
arched his back in a quick snap
and Pytheus went sailing.
With great pain then h e
mounted his still waiting steed, a
new kind of Godiva clad in boots
and 10 gallon hat and tortured at
every move of the horse. In this
way he came upon Matson and
several others who had ridden out
to hunt for him.
Arrived at the ranch he went
in the back door, dressed quickly
and out the front and into a wait
ing car.
He spent the night still witch
ing from an occasional needle and
covered with oil to relieve the sun
burn; but he was also speeding
East by train.

And so little over six weeks ago
he had drawn his last pay check,
and money from the bank, bought
this ranch and come to what he
hoped was to be an escape from
the penalties of civilization.
Lefty" Arrighetti, the fire-ball
pitcher Of the Medwicks, who had
sold it to him, had assured him
that it had everything. And sew
eral of Lefty's fellow players who
had visited the ranch as guests
of Lefty had backed him up in
this statement.
And so Pytheus CecropaloS had
realized his ambition and come
down one morning on the 6:38
from Albuquerque. Jack Matson,
the foreman, who sort of went
with the place, met him at the
station.
A AS frontier model Colt had
been part of the outfit purchased
in town, and out in back of the
corral one day Matson was show
ing Pete how to handle it. Under
Matson's fire a tin can so feet

he pulled the trigger, whether
slowly or fast.
Pete was getting the idea, too,
but it was coming slow. He raised
the gun slowly now in what should
have been a perpendicular posi-

this, however, and at the same
instant Pete started the trigger
squeeze.

Dear Skipper. ... my d a d d y
sometimes tells me to do some
thing and forget. Then he calls
me his little Duck" because he
says everything he tells me runs
off like water on ducks back.
What does he mean?"
THE ANSWER
Betty Lou is not the only one
who has heard that expression. 1t
comes from the fact that water
will really not penetrate through
a ducks feathers, due to cover
ing of a thin layer of oil or grease
that comes through the skin.
Did you ever notice how duck
sometimes scrapes his bill on the
flat side, up and down his back?
He is spreading that oil on the
feathers.
The answer to today's question
then is simple. Oil and water
will not mix and as the feathers
are covered with oil, water cannot
soak through to the duck. Like
all birds that swim, a ducks feath-
erS are thick and smooth, so thick
in fact, that no matter how long
he is in the water. his skin always
remains warm and dry.
If you listen and do what you
are told you will never hear the
older folks say 1T rolled off like
water on a ducks hack"
Here is news that will NOT.

The endowment fund will make
