CHAPTER XIV

It was very early; the sun was
only just breaking over the winter
starved prairie, that Sunday morn
ing as Bill Roper splashed through
the creek that runs by Sundance,
and rode into the little town.
Overhead the sky was such a clear
crystalline blue as Bill Roper had
not seen since he left Texas, and
underfoot his tired pony was sinking
fetlock deep in thawed mud. The
mud itself was predicting a spring
which Roper believed now he would
never see.
Without sign from the rider, Rop-
er's pony drew up before the Palace
Hotel and Livery.
With some difficulty Bill Roper
reused a sleepy and resentful indi-
vidual.
"Feed this pony, and feed him
WE'LL"
Casually Roper strolled along the
corral where stood the loose horses

Advantages of Difficulty

Difficulty is a severe instruc-
tor, set over us by the supreme
ordinance of parental guardian
and legislator, who knows us bet
ter than we know ourselves; and
He loves us better too.
He that wrestles with us
strengthens our nerves and sharp
ems our skill. Our antagonist is
our helper. This amicable con-
f1ict with difficulty obliges us to an
intimate acquaintance with OBJ
jects, and compels us to consider
it in all its relations. 1t will not
suffer us to be superfcial.-Burke

LYNN SAYS:

Cookbooks that will make diff
ference in your life and also
difference in your meals are
worth looking into. Falls good
time to look when you think of
the many holidays in the months
ahead and the entertaining you're
going to do and the new ideas
you'll need.
June Platt's Party Cookbook"
published by Houghton Miff1in, is
a classic in that the recipes are
given in a conversational sort of
way as though your very best
friend and best cook were giving
you some of her favorite recipes.
Here you'll find such treasures
as corned beef and cabbage, veal
kidneys in mustard, hot buttered
scenes, and strawberry and al
mond souf1e.
Dishes you've never thought of
and touches that add real distinc-
ton to everyday food are given
in "Mrs. Lang's Complete Menu
Book" also published by Hough-
ton Miff1in. Menus for every kind
of occasion are given and reci-
pes, too, for every one of them.

was chewing straw as he came
back to the sleepy man who was
now shaking down hay.
II see you have a 9B horse there

"Yeah?"
IT figure Lew Gordon rode that
horse in?"
'And supposin' he did,"
"Where is he stopping?"
"How should / know? This dump
is good enough for his horse, but
it amt good enough for him. He
went to sleep with some friend or
something, out at the edge of town"
'I'n take room facing on this
street." he said.
A little while later Roper sat at
last with his heels caught in the
window sill, resting as he regarded
the empty street.
That Ben Thorpe was here was
known to every cattleman in the
north country. Ben Thorpe had been
here many weeks; it was to Thorpe
that Bill Roper was to have been
delivered, here, if kid horse wran-
gler following Jody Gordon had not
shot Jim feathers down. But, by
the fine, hard-ridden OBJ horse which
Lew Gordon had ridden in, Bill Rop-
er knew that Gordon had not been
here long. He judged that he had
got here in time.
Bill Roper sat there a long time.
Seven o'clock passed, and eight, and
nine, while he smoked and waited.
Ten o'clock passed, and ten-thirty.
Then upon the quiet main street
of Sundance appeared a fgure-the
one he had been waiting for.
1t seemed to Bill Roper that Lew
Gordon walked like younger man
than Roper had remembered. Bill
Roper knew Lew Gordon by the flash
of silver in his short beard, by the
old hat, curiously like Dusty Kings,
which Lew Gordon had never
changed But he had to look twice
to be sure that this man with the
springy stride and erect bearing was
the Lew Gordon he had known.
When he was sure, Bill Roper
stood up and stretched; he filled his
lungs with air, and at last let it 20

here than for shipbuilders in other

TO Tacoma labor by saying 1t Is
worth more because IT is more eff

lie voiced some fears for the fu-
ture of the industry because Of dis
ruption OF the Maritime Commits
sion's long-range plan for renew

brought a speeding up in shir con-
struotion." he said. we may. in

ate our own machine shop. as the
yards did in 1915. All that work.

we can in this community"
The engineer voiced hopes his
concern soon would be awarded the
now pending contract for construc-
ton OF two Pa" liners. which
will be the largest ships ever built
on this continent.
That job--if we get it" he
said, will give employment TO
5000 men for five years AT an
