The Girl With the Lariat BY DWIGHT NORWOOD When Loyd Brayton was graduated from college, having means, he thought he would like to go west and become a rancher. So he bought a sheep ranch with a good house on it and well stocked. Then he settled himself to wait for his sheep to grow and their wool to stand out thick on their sides. For awhile riding over his broad acres and doing a little bossing mornings kept him contented. But It wasn't long before he began to pine for something more exciting. An opportunity was afforded him by seeing one day a girl chasing a steer. There was something picturesque in her galloping over the ground, her alpine broad brim hanging to her neck by its ribbons and her hair streaming behind her. Brayton, who was on horseback, put spurs to his animal to help her. But she didn’t need him, for before he reached her she drew a lariat, caught the steer by the horns and held on to him till some punchers came up and relieved her. The girl was the daughter of a neighboring rancher, Evau MacDougall, a Scotchman, who had recently come to America tor the purpose of, cattle raising. Brayton complimented the girl on her exploit, and then and there began an acquaintance that gave the young easterner something to occupy his mind. He spent many of his mornings riding with her and most of his evenings at her father’s ranch. Pingpong was in fashion at the time, and, the MacDougalls having a good table for the purpose, Jennie and Loyd spent a lot of time batting the tiny ball between them. But the celluloid sphere was only typical of the love taps that were passing between them. When Jennie sent it it was to say, “I don’t love you,” and when it went back it seemed to carry the message, “Yes, you do; you know you do.” And so the ball kept flying. The affair went on till Brayton took It into his head that he would go east. His affair with the ranch girl he regarded as a pastime, and the idea of breaking with her didn’t trouble him nt all. if his going affected her she was too proud to show it. He tried hard to make her show her colors on the separation, but she resolutely kept them furled. It is singular how a man will consider a woman not for him and at the same time try to make her show that she wishes to be his. The day before he was to take his departure he was out on his horse some distance from his ranch. It hap pened that Jennie MacDougall had lost a pet antelope, and she, too, had ridden afield looking for it She knew every foot of the country, and Brayknew very little about it Reining up on a rise in the ground, Jennie saw" Loyd half a mile away riding’toward a dangerous quicksand. “Great heavens!” she exclaimed. “Suppose he doesn’t know it’s there!” The young man rode on as lightly, as carelessly as if his horse were treading on flowers. Jennie’s cheek blanched. He was within 100 feet of the quicksand, while she was half a mile away from him, with no other person in sight. Then suddenly his horse began to flounder. His rider gave him the spur, but to no purpose. Down came Jennie’s quirt on her horse’s flank, and like a flash he darted to the rescue. But his rider had no hope. She knew the sucking properties of the dreaded quicksand and that before she could reach the man it was dragging down to death he would be half buried in it. What would she do to save him? If she rode near enough to extend a hand she, too, would be drawn in. Though she drove her horse on a gallop, Brayton’s horse had disappeared before she reached the quicksand. Brayton himself was engulfed to his waist. He believed himself lost. “Goodby, dear heart!” he cried. Jennie seldom went out without firearms and never without her lariat. She rode up so near and so fast to the quicksand that she was obliged to pull her horse back on his haunches to save herself from going into it. Then instinctively her fingers clasped her lariat coiled to her saddle. Uncoiling it, she began to swing it in the air, fcfer eye fixed on her object; then it lefct her and fell around Brayton. Turning her horse’s head, she urged him slowly away. The rope tightened without breaking and encircled the sinking body about the chest. It was now a question whether the rope, the girl and the horse were strong enough to drag the man from the quicksand. Jennie fixed one end of the lariat firmly to the saddle and, restraining her horse so far as possible from jerking, let him but by degrees. A lariat is not a weakly article, and Jennie’s stood the test. Slowly Brayton was pulled from the quagmire from the back of the horse that went down to its death. Reaching hard ground, he sprang to the girl, who was reeling in her saddle, and she fell into his arms. When she came to herself again a great change had come over her relations with Brayton. lie was holding her, muttering now his gratitude, now that she would awake and tell him that she loved him. It was all too incoherent for rep< tition, but it indicated that w’hat had been intended for passing the time had become a grand paslion. Brayton didn’t go east. He remainid where he Was and married Jennie MacDougall. —New fishing tackle just received. Prices are very' reasonable. Quality Drug Store. J. W. ROTHENBERGER : Undertaker : SYRACUSE, : t IND.

DENNIS KELLY HAS RESIGNED COUNTY AUDITOR MOCK HAS RECEIVED LETTER The resignation of Dennis Kelley, township assessor, is in the hands County Auditor Mock, and is effective immediately. The letter was written on the Kiser Hotel stationary of Garrett, and was mailed from that city. We are unaware of Mr. Kelley’s exact reason for retiring, but presume it is the outcome of complaints of too high appraisment of property. His successor will be appointed Thursday. File Bonds James and Alonzo Searfoss, charged with assault with intent to commit murder on the person of David Dewart, were bound over to the circuit court last week and bonds of SIOOO each were asked They were signed by J. P. Dolan and J. U. Wingard and fifed Saturday morning. The case has not yet been set for trial and the crowded condition of the court docket will probably delay it for some time. It is hardly probable that conviction will be made on these charges; it is thought that the case will dwindle to one of plain assault.

HORSEMEN Good old horse. How long have they been telling us that the day of the horse is over! SOME men will try to confirm this argument by refering to the market now. How many men do you hear saying: “Horses ai e off in price, Horses are lower, you can’t get within $25 to SSO as much for a horse as you could 2or 3 years ago.” That is true in part, you don t hear thrse men tell you what kind of horses are cheaper, they say ju t HORSES. Isn’t it true that all farm products that are being graded f< - quality more and more each year. Can you get as much per bu. for 2n or 3rd class grain as you can the best? Can you get as much for a roug i steer as you can for a choice prime animal? Whose fault is it that som i horses are lower? Not the buyers fault. You can’t expect then to £ j you fancy prices for something they don t want. If you are determined t » flood the market with scrub stuff you should expect to take scrub prices There is only one reason that as many of these 2nd class horses are selling nov and that is because there is rot enough good ones to go around. I stood m the ss 3 ring and saw horse after go through some selling and some not. Those that we 3 knocked off were not sold because no one wanted them but because they were CHKA . There are only two markets today for the poor horse, one is to the users th a are no in positions to keep good ones and the other and largest outlet is the iarme himsel one man is answering an argument of a general purpose horse admirer said, — L t them stay—Let them stay, I try to raise the best my self but can't hit it every tin 3 and I like to have plenty of those fellows around to sell my scrubs to. I dare y< i show me one horse the kind that will top the market that can’t e bsold to-day for ; 3 much or MORE money than you ever saw them sell for. They will sell any time of ti 3year. You don’t have to hunt a buyer for those, your undersized horses without qm:. - ity you can sell now when the market is at the best or sacicfice in price later on ffr i maybe not find a buyer then. Which do you want to raise? Takk a common sem / view of the matter and see if I am wrong.
