CHAPTER 1HIRTY-ONE

SF1Af EN- HIN -OANh
TIBBY HAD resolved TO be nice
TO Tommy, even IL he would not be
nice to her. Now this resolution
was strengthened. libby did not
realize-or would not have admit
ted 1t, II she habitat Wayne's Of
fer of the beautiful silver ship and
his proposal of marriage had any,
thing to do with this strengthen
ing. She had to make up her mind
what she was going to do about 1t
the silver ship and Wayns's pro-
posal. Maybe if she and Tommy
still had been friends everything
might have been different. Maybe
If she made one last effort to 60
back to that old friendly basis she
might be able to decide what to do.
OF course If Tommy did not care
II his old playmate got engaged to
someone else it was foolish for
libby even to consider him, or how
he would feel about 1t. She had a
sort Of bunch, as she usually had in
connection with Tommy, that even
II he did not care-in one way
that he would in several others.
For instance, Tommy might
think that libby was marrying
Wayne for his money. She would
hate to have him, or anyone, think
that, since 1t most certainly would
not be true. Steena had admitted
she might have done that very
thing when she first had dated
Wayne COPYRIGHT, but II libby de-
cided to accept Wayne, his money
would not have anything to do with
it. She almost wished that he did
not have quite so much money; 1t
was rather frightening.
She knew, deep down in her
heart, that she was much better
suited to be the wife OF a doctor,
having had that training all her
life as the daughter OF a country
doctor than the wife Of a million
aIre. Steena now would know tust
how to all that bill: she would SIM
ply gloat in it. But libby was
afraid she would always feel made
quats. She would feel as IL she did
not belong In Wayne's world. It
was one thing to visit it for a thrill,
for excitement, but to live in It all
the time was another.
To 20 back to Tommy, he not
ouly would think she was marry
Ing Wayne for his money, but he
would think that Wayne was en-
trely 100 old for her, not Just in
years, but in experience. Tommy
practically had said as much that
night he had met WAYNE and had
showed his disapproval OF him as a
friend for libby. let alone a hus-
band On the other hand, Wayne
had remarked, when libby had
said she was not engaged 10 Tom
my. that ne was glad / cause Tom
my was entirely too young. Wayne
had not meant in years altogether,
either.
Tommy was too young because
he did not know enough about love.
II he had he might have won libby. |
IL he had picked a more romantic |
spot In which to propose, II he had
not withdrawn his proposal, him
self, and his friendship so quickly.
Wayne was experienced enough |
when II came to love making. How
else could he have chosen such a

He galloped away, swan the river
with his horses, fired a parting shot or
two at the fort from the bluffs, and
headed for the Crow country on the
southeast
ON the Yellowstone he fell in with
a party of trappers travelling with
some fiendly Sioux. Smith gave each
Of the Sioux a horse from his band
and so made himself welcomed in
their camps. They dubbed him Black
foot"
But Smith left Montana, and made
his way south. He never reached st.
Louis, but in the Arkansas river
country he married Cheyenne wom-
an and eventually realized his ambi-
ton to become a trader. Perhaps he
threw in with Bent, st. Vrain and
company partly because they were the
biggest rivals of the American Fur
Co., whose INSCRIPTIONS clerk had
fleeced him 50 numerically.

Minister of Butte Ranks
AS Veteran of Methodism

Frederick T. Spencer. who played
football against Jim Thorpe and other
great Indian stars Of Carlisle institute
IN his collegiate days, ranks as the
veteran OF Montana Methodism having
served the Trinity and Mount Bethel
pastorate in Butte for the last p
years.
Reverend Spencer. who recently
celebrated his 40th wedding ami
versary, has served Methodism in
Montana for the last 80 years Next
year he viii be 20 years old, and he
talks some Of retiring at that time,
but he Is quick TO admit that II he
feels as wen then as he does now he
hopes 70 continue preaching.
Having witnessed the ups and downs
OF Montana and Montanans for nearly
four score years, Reverend Spencer
says the people of the Treasure state
have grown dear to him and that If
he had It all TO do over again. he
would co1ne to Montana. as he did In
1904.
Reverend Spencer began as a cir
cult rider at Park City. two years
after his marriage in Dover. Del.

charges in the manner Of an old
fashioned circuit rider. In my timer
airy we're Laurel. Allendale. Alesian
schoolhouse, Park City and Columbus
Sometimes I would hitch the two
horses to my buggy and cover the dis
lance that way" said Spencer, who
came to Montana after serving in
pastorates in Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania.
Before being assigned a congrega-
ton, Spencer was chaplain at the
Eastern penitentiary, Philadelphia, for
five years while In training. During
his service there. he talked with each
of the 1900 inmates. both men and
women, about once a month. he re-
called.
After serving in Park City until 1907 |
the young pastor and his wife came
to Butte for a three-year stay. and |
moved in 1910 to Hamilton, where they |
had the Methodist church until 1914 !
Then they were given the congrega-
ton at Bridger, leaving there in 1917
for whitehall In 1921 the couple re-
turned to Butte.
During the Spencers' first service
in Butte, they had charge Of the
Mount Bethel. Wesley chapel, Boule-
ward and Silver Bow churches.
Il started my preaching career with
80 cents" Spencer said, adding that |
he has a few dollars now"
The prominent churchman, who last
summer helped play host to the an
nual state Methodist conference, has
won wide recognition for his unpub-
licized Methodist church relief SER

4-H Club Gardens
Are Good Producers

A record output OF more than B.
100000 bushels Of garden vegetables
and small fruits will be produced this
year by All club members throughout
the nation In response TO the govern
ment's call for super production Of
these foodstuffs to meet war needs
This is an increase Of 60 percent over
last years production.
Some $4,000 members participated
in the 1912 national 4-H victory gar
den contest conducted In cooperation
with the extension service, In which
Sears, Roebuck provided awards con-
sisting chiefly Of war bonds. This also
is an all-time high enrolment in the
All gardening project and shows how
vital All production Is TO the war eff
fort.
County winners received gold-filled
medals and four representatives OF
each states blue award group were
awarded a $25 war bond. One Of the
latter will be considered In selecting
sectional and national winners.

the American Fur Co, hostile to its
competitors. Smith took a swig of the
painkiller, gathered his dearly bought
new belongings, and hurried to the
river
He suspected the Blackfeet would
soon be started on his trail. He was
right.
Unfortunately, again, the Missouri
didn't run a straight course. Below
Mckenzie it flowed in an ox-bow bend.
While Smith, his powder still wet,
floated around the curve, lulled by
the laudanum, the Indians headed
overland The current washed him
close to shore, as a rifle slug hit the
water near him. He had no alternative
but to beach his craft.
The five Blackfeet enptied his boat
and sank 1t. They found his gallon Of
raw alcohol. and tried to drink it. The
trapper, resigned for some minutes
to being murdered saw hope again.
Indians Pass Out
He showed them how to cut the
spirit water, so that they could get 1t
down. He took for himself snifter
from the laudanum bottle IN his
pocket. They watched, and decided to
try some Of his medicine.
The painkiIler hit them even faster
than the alcohol. The five soon were
dead to the world
Calmly the trapper helped himself
to their powder, lead and buffalo
robes, picked a fast horse from their
cleaned and reloaded his guns
and prepared to depart. He'd never
killed an Indian, and never taken a
scalp. His intent was to ride off and
leave them asleep.
But as he made ready to leave two
more Blackfeet came over the Hill
and rode toward the trapper and their
prone comrades Smith had first shot,
and he dropped one. He shot again
and hit the horse Of the other. The
cayuse, in pain, bucked off It's rider.
Smith was ON him in an instant. In
the tussle the Indian hit the trappers
sore Jaw. Smith saw red, in more ways
than one.
He threw the Blackfeet to the
and stabbed him. He scalped
an seven OF the redmen, wrapped the
scalps in piece Of buffalo hide, lett
his captured remuda in the brush ana
rode back to the fort.
Clerk Frightened
he banged on the wicket, and the
clerk. doubtless expecting to see the
back, opened it. AS Vestal
tells the story, when the clerk saw
smith, he was frightened, and tried
to shut the wicket. But Smith blocked
that with the bundle Of scalps.

METHOD OF DOG
TRAINING TOLD
DIRECTOR OF CANINE DIVISION
OF RTA1INI CAMP TELLS
INTERESTING FACTS

Kindness. tolerance and patience
are exercised in training dogs for ser
vice in the army. but at the same
time dog is not allowed 10 get away
with anything" Capt. Laurence c.
Phipps, director of the canine division
of Rimini training camp said in a re-
cent Butte talk.
The trainers do not use any bru-
tality in training dogs any more than
it is used in training soldiers" ne
said.
Captain Phipps at the outset of his
talk gave a brief history Of dogs and
said they definitely date back to $500
B. c. and that they we're used in war
fare as early as 600 B. G. He said that
at present Germany has conscripted
every dog over 10 inches in height in
France
The captain in his talk told how
dogs are acquired for army service,
what they are called upon to do and
the value of their service.
The types of dogs used in the SER
vice. he said. include: Sentry duty
Shepherds. including the so-called
German police dogs" Dobermann
Pinschers and Airedales; pack dogs,
st. Demands and Newfoundlands;
sledge dogs. Malemutes and Huskies,
Chesapeakes and Labradors.
The dogs are acquired by the gov
eminent through a civilian organiza-
ton called Dogs for Defense" he
said There Is such an organization In
every state In the union.
Captain Phipps, who is a veteran Of
World war / and who Is an expert in
training dogs for service, explained In
detail how the dogs are to be handled
when they arrive at training quarters
1t win take from four TO six weeks to
give the dogs their fundamental train
ing. They then viii be sent TO other
camps, possibly In Alaska for further
training or for actual service.
A complete record is kept of each
dog and when the war is over It is
expected when possible that they win
be returned TO their owners.
Each dog is branded on its left ear
and each has a regular service card.
Just as have the soldiers. They are
given uniform training so that they
viii be able TO understand commands
In any place where they are sent In
connection with the army.
