"Well, my goodness, George Bra

Her husband laughed heartily as
she went away.
His laughter, and the conversa-
tion that had precede,- it, attracted
some Of the men who had been as
signed to ride with Shot Rogers,
and who had been lOafing around
the ranch home all day. Four Of
them walked from the bunkhouse
over to the blacksmith shop.
"Mr. Brazee," one of them spoke,
"it don't look like Sh ot's liable to
show up again today, ever."
"No. Nope, it don't. We were just
talking about that. Unh-huhm."
"Well, sir, you think maybe it
would be all right-you think-uh,
where at do you reckon Shot is? I
mean, is he all right? We, uh-"
"Oh, shore" Mr.. Brazee grinned
again. ITS just love, is ALL"
Eyes, sir, reckon So You right
sure he went in to town, no doubt?
Reckon he had to squire Miss Lo-
rena in?"
"Oh, yes"
"He ought to be here tending to
his business affairs" Jerry Dale
declared. What about me taking
charge Of the scouts, Mr.. Brazee,
and seeing what can be done about
Escobar? If Rogers is so interest

"You mean you want me to put
you in charge, in his place."
"Well, yes sir, it's an idea. Isn't
it? Isn't it, now? There's . job to
be DONE"
WED better wait for Shot," said
the third man, dryly, and his three
companions nodded. George Brazee
did not miss the connotation of
this.
"Shct'll be back in good time"
George said. "He-he may be MAX
ing out a new plan Of his own. He'll
check in."
That's what we been a-saying,
Mr.. Brazee," the scout declared,
nodding. 1--WE en- wait. But, uh, one

"Well, sir, what hosses did hin;

He spoke seriously. George Bra

man.
"Why-why, you mean-?"

Brazee was saying. "It's getting or

they just decided to stay in town
for dinner; lunch, that is"
"Even then they'd have time to
get back here" young Jerry Dale
declared. He and Mr.. and Mrs

were talking at the ranch black
smith shop. jerry had been con-
cerned about Lorena arc shot all

'Is that a fact, Midrieh ht ?"
George Brazee grinred at his

"Who-yee, NTistrh George, they

her how kind and Ill they is"
"How? What that? Come on,
Midnight, I've got quarter-may-

been going on"
Mrs. Brazee spoke sharply to
him. George Brazee, 1 declare! If
you aren't just an old busybody,
trying to bribe this boy to tell you
. lot of gossip. Why don't you mind
your own affairs so ncbJdy'll Cos

But George Braces eyes were

"Mistuk George, you knows I'd

"Yessum, Miss Sally, thank you
ma'am," Midnight was grinnlng
He realized he had made a good
business deal. He took himself tact
fully away.
Rogers men are more or less
bluffing alorg without a leader
while he if off wasting time with a
girl" Jerry Dale said now signi-
licantly. II don't need to point out
do I?-that Rogers hasn't done
a confounded thing. You're lost
more COWS since he and his So
called army took charge. He was
going to do this and that to Luis
Esccbar. What has he done?"
George Brazee was still in a
devilish mood, still grinning.
Hes found him girl"
''Nuts on that! I'm not concerned
with Lorena. I mean"
"You mean that's the very trou-
BILE. Shots concerned with her, and
you'd like to be. If you could find
her, bet you would be, eh Jerry?"
flush it, George! You're talking
too much" Mrs. Brazee was in
earnest now.
"Aw, I'm only funning a little.
You l. y t',-ct. t',ct Jerry. I'm not seri-
ously trying to stick my neck in.
But as to Rogers men-you are
partly right there. I do think may
be he ought to have stuck on his
job
"They went to the east range
again yesterday morning. Why
didn't he 60 with them instead of
carting Lorena off to town."
"Well, son, she had to have an
escort, and his note said he had

"Wcll, lell, did Rogers have to be

am happy, therefore, to be able
to express the opinion that the pres

much stronger, I fancy, than some
Of it's opponents suspect.
To begin with, it extends the
scope Of protection not only to cos

therapeutic devices, fat reducers,
vitalizing belts, contraceptives and
other gadgets intended to alter the

labelling.
No drug product can go into In
terstate commerce until the secre-
tary of agriculture is satisfied that
it has been so tested.
Perhaps the casual citizen may
suppose that such a provision ID
only rarely required. Note then
that this is one provision that went
into effect Immediately on the sign
ing Of the bill, June 27, 1888. In
the first year of enforcement over
1000 applications with respect to
such new drugs were received, an
average of four a working day.
About half the applications were
granted. Which will give some idea
of what the situation must have
been like before.
Bans Dangerous Drugs
Another section that went into
effect Immediately bans drugs
which may be dangerous when used
as prescribed. During the year the
department of agriculture seized

mostly pain killers containing
aminopyrine. Fifty : seven ship
ments of dangerous therapeutic
devices have been seized.
Thanks to Rees, Of Kansas;
Mapes, of Michigan; Chapman, of
Kentucky, and the late Senator
Copeland, the joker that the apple
growers got into the bill, which pro-
vided for type of court review
which would hold up enforcement
indefinitely, has been starched up SO
that review is held before the Cir
cult Court of Appeals. Several re-
views on food standards have been
held and the downtrodden consumer
takes great satisfaction in standing
up and cross-examining the manu-
facturers about their methods. It's
real democracy at work.
