QUESTION BOX:
What prominent "hard to get"
bachelor has weakened to such an
extent over an attractive Mpls. lass,
that we think wedding bells will
be ringing in his belfry mighty
soon? Have you heard that
one of our prominent Twin City
matrons has suddenly turned into
a kleptomaniac and spends all her
spare time picking up odds and
ends Especially in the dime
stores?) What recently married
couple (the hubby's in the army
have decided to call it quits. IT'S
said hubby's that way about an
army hostess where he is stationed.
wife says she doesn't care any
way cause she likes one of the
local sailor lads.) =. A certain st.
Paul wife is mighty steamed up
these days since she found out that
her hubby's ex-girl friend has been
visiting him down South at the
Camp where he is stationed.
A couple of well-known folks are
willing to swear to the fact that
a member of their social set is
gifted in mind reading. (We'l be-
lieve this tale when we hear and
see for oufselves.) -.
Well, palsie-walsies, the press is
calling copy-time so we'll be on our
way.

In loving memory of my dear husband,
Roscoe H. Ailep, who departed this life
March 6, 1913.
One year has passed since you left me,
But your smiles are with me yet.
I'll always cherish the memory of you,

My eyes shed many a tear,
God only knows how I miss you,
At the end of one long year.
Sadly missed by your wife,

once there was something but
couldn't be sure.
The Cheyennes abruptly stopped
their gable. It left strange dead
hush. He saw their horses move a
little. All their painted faces turned.
Clay Manning's yell was like shot.
He jerked around and saw Clay
near the wagons and heard him
shout again. North beyond the long
horns a lone mounted Indian had
risen from the ground. A blanket
Whlrled above his head. He was
alone for an instant. Then the
earth seemed to open behind him,
pouring up horses and brown men.
Things have way of happening,
swift in the action yet tormentingly
slow to the quick flashing of
mans mind. Lew felt himself
move. But it was like those dreams
in which he struggled against an
unseen force that held him back.
He saw forty or fifty Cheyennes
pour up and strike toward the herd
at its farther rim. They were aft
er cattle.
Quarternight yelled, LET 'em goI
Watch here!"
From the south a punched run
was coming on again. He pivoted
back and steadied his horse and
emptied the magazine of his rifle.
Once more those ranks broke.
Off across the herd the Indians
had struck in a flying wedge.
Their terrific impact sent a wave
of motion through the massed pool.
1t rolled backward as the long
horns turned and rammed at those
behind them, and even before that
struggle reached the edge near the
horses and wagons he knew what
it would do. He grabbed his reins
left-handed and threw his buckskin
forward. Less than fifty yards sep
arated him. He could see Joys
white face and Clay Manning fixed

in his saddle close to her wagon
seat. These things he saw while
his horse was running toward them
and yet seemed to be standing still.
He yelled at Clay. The waves of
fighting longhorns had struck their
terror into the horse herd. He saw
Jim Hope and Moonlight Bailey fail
to hold them. Owl-Head Jackson's
four-mule team plunged and reared
against his frightened rcins. But it
was Joys team that he aimed for
in this flash of time.
There was that instant when CLAY
Manning could have saved her, as
the mules bolted, tearing the reins
from her grip. He could have
grabbed their brides or caught the
girl from the seat. Instead he tried
to turn the horses, saw his mistake
too late. Their running flood hit
him and carried him on.
With Clay gone there was no one
near the girl. Her mules were kick

was swapping like a dog at the
horses and cattle that blocked his
way. lie SluDDtu l!le DOIly SKULLS
of longhorns with his rifle. A lane
parted. He was half across before
it closed again. Their horns were
lances stabbing at his legs. He
kicked at them and tramped them
down and in that struggle could no
longer watch the wagon.
He was almost through when he
saw it and the half a dozen Chey-
ennes who had raced back on that
side of the herd to cut it off. They
swept around it, running. The next
moment they vanished completely
from the earth.
A last stubborn chain of long
horns blocked him. AS he broke
free he heard Quarternight's rebel
yell. He looked back. The two
war parties had joined, scattering
west behind a bunch of split-off
cattle. To the south was a moving
spot of blue.
The wagons white top was ahead
of him then, down in hidden chan
mel of some ancient stream bed that
twisted away to the east. The
mules had halted, tangled in their
harness. The seat was empty. A
trampled swath of footprints led
back toward the Wichita range.
