ral and each watched bis chance to
put bis rope on some chosen horse
The roan kept others always between
blm8olf and any man with a rope but
at last be passed Harris with but one
bone between - Harrla dipped hla
noose croaa the back of the lnterven
Ing bone and over tbo blue roan's
bead
“You’vt been busted and rope-burnt
a time or two" Harris remarked aud
lit led the borse out to saddle him
The big blue leaned back crouching
oa hla haunches as the man put on
the hackamore Hla eyes rolled wick
edly as Harris smoothed the saddle
blanket and be dinebed away wltb a
whistling snort of fear bis nostrils
flaring as the heavy saddle 1 was
thrown on bis back
Garris tightened the front clncb ami
the blue borse braced blraself and
drew in a long deep breath
That's right Blue you swell up
and indate yourself" Harrla said
“1'U have to squeeze It out ot you
Be fastened the hind clncb loosely
then returned to the front aud hauled
on the lutlgo until the pressure forced
the horse to release the Indrawn
breutb and It leaked out of him with
a groaning sigh '
"1 wonder now why Uorrow la whet
ting bla tommyhawk for me" Harris
remarked as be inspected the big
roan "You're a hard one Blua I'U
let that saddle warm up on you before
1 top you off"
"Well step up on blm and let’s be
going” Uorrow ordered surlily
Harrla took a short bold on the
rope reins of the hackamore wltb bla
left hand cramped the horse's bead
toward him and gripped the mane hla
right band on the born and swung
gently to" the saddle easing Into It
without a Jar ‘
"Easy Bluel" be said bolding ap
the big roan's head "Don’t you bang
your bead wltb me” He eased the
horse to a Jerky start and they were
off for Brill’s at a shuffling trot
Three times In the flrat mile Blue
bunched himself nervously and made
a few atUT Jumps but each time Har-
rla held blm steady
“You'd have made one good little
borse Blue" be said “If some sport
hadn't spoiled you on the start”
They left the horses drooping at the
several -Itch rails before the post and
crowded In
8ome detached themselves from the
group and occupied themselves with
writing Several started a game of
stud poker at one of the many tables
Harris wrote a few letters before Join-
ing In the play and aa ha looked op
from time to time he caught many
curious glance leveled upon him
Morrow had been busily spreading the
tidings that a would-be squatter wai
among them and they were curious to
aea the man who had deliberately de-
fied the unwritten law of the Cold-
river ranae
Waddle bad Instructed Evans to
start the men back before the spree

keeping
What then could be more appropri-
ate than to um the horseshoe is a
beautiful door knocker to edorn the
entrance of your borne) Or to ait It
as a door stop or book ends or ae an
ash tray for your living room?
Tbe horseshoe bai been accepted
and recognised in a symbol of food
luck almoit universally for many cen-
turies -
Ancient mythology credited the
bonsabo with threefold power of

"This will be a rocky ride for a
uille or two" he prophesied as ns
mounted the seut and braced ilio-
self “These willow-tails hnven'l hnd

The men stepped hack and the four
horses hit the collnrs raggedly One
wheel horse reured and lumped for
ward The oft lender dropiied his hend
and pitched shaking himself as if
struggling to uneeut s rider then the
four settled Into a jerkey run aud tlie
heavy wagon -cluttered and lurched
down the lane

leud the horse herd by day and the
nlghtlimvk who' would gunrU It at
night sal bn their horses al the tar
end of the corral and urged the herd
out as the gates swung buck Tbe
reuiudu streamed down the valley
the two first riders swinging wide to
ellier flank while the nlghthawk ind
wrangler brought up the' rear
- Shortly before noon the wagon was
hailed In a broad bottom ilirended by
a tiny spring-fed stream Tbe tennis

dled and thrown Into the- horse herd
which- was then headed Into the mouth
of s branching druw end allowed to

rolls thul were piled from tbe broad
lowered tail-gnte to the wagon top
and each man sorted nut Ills ows and
spread It upon some ' spot whlcb

it was not loug before Waddles was
dispensing nourishment from tbe low
cred tull-gute ladling food and hoi
c-uffee Into the plates and cups whlcb
tbe men held out to him They drew
away and sut cross-legged on the
ground The meal was almost fin-
ished when sii horsemen rode down
tbe valley and pulled up before the
wagon
"What’s the chance tor scraps!" tbe
leader asked
"Step down” Waddles Invited "And

Four of the men differed In no ma-

Evans remarked to Harris "And tbe
human ape is Lang Fisher Coleman
Barton and Canfield are the rest Nice
layout of murderers and such”
Harper’s men ate unconcernedly
conscious that they were marked as
men who had violated every law on
the calendar but knowing also tbat
no man would take exceptions to their
presence on that general ground
alone and as they Jiad neared tba
wagon each man bad scanned the
faces of the round-up crew to maks
certain tbat there were none among
them who might bear some more spe-
cific and personal dislike
The Three Bar men chatted and
fraternized with them aa they would
have done wltb tbe riders of any le-
gitimate outfit Harper praised the
food that Waddles tendered them
Billie Warren forced a smile as she
nodded to them then moved off and
sat upon a rock some fifty yards from
the wagon despising the six men who

the conditions whlcb forced her to ex-
tend tbe hospitality of the Three Bar
to men o’ their breed whenever they

Identification by Ear '
It New Proposition
Although the fingerprint system ot
Identifying criminals Is almost Infal-
lible there is always one uncertainty
tn Its use — the ability of a criminal to
leave a flst set of prints made with
rubber stamps
Because of this there Is a possibil-
ity that before long the fingerprint
system may be replaced In official
favor by the shape of the ear Paris
police are reported to be working out
systems of classification and descrip-
tion No two human ears of exactly
the same shape have ever been dis-
covered and their shape cannot be al-
tered surgically without leaving tell-
tate marks
Whereas fingerprints cannot be
taken except by force or by the Indi-
vidual’s consent ears can be studied
and even photographed without the
knowledge of tbe possessor
Ear photographs may soon be filed
systematically and referred to sf
need In similar manner to fingerprints
Th Cigar Holder
Frances Newman anthor of “The
Hard-Boiled Virgin” said on her re-
cent departure for Europe:
“Beauty always was and always will
be woman's greatest asset The beau-
tiful woman has all mankind at her
feet I mean that It’s no joke or ex-
aggeration But the plain or wall-
flower type of woman —
“'Are you dancing this one) a fat
man' said to a scrawny wallflower
about forty-eight years old
“ ‘Why— er— no’ And the poor
thing blushed and giggled delightedly
and half rose
“In that case' said the fat man
would you mind holding my cigar
while I take a few turns with Betty?
I can't find no place to lay It'" '
Blind Golfer
Barton Cooper thlrteeft-year-old
blind boy took np golf s little more
than a year ago and lately ' played
I nine holes on the municipal courts at

of direction from him Ten-foot putts
are not at all unusual after the caddy

Little Meredith returning home
