"Half of them would keep their land." “(Of course," she agreed. “But then ypii’d huye halt instead ot nothing at «llj Do you want the world?” ”1 want you!" he said, “throw tn with me, girl. I’m going to tight these uiesiers off—the Three Bar aiming the rest it you don’t quit. I’ll smash the Three Bar into mincemeat unless you ruii this d—d Harris off and quit this game.’’ it was the first time Slude had ever threatened Her spirits had soured over the prospects of the Three Bar and she was suddenly afraid for tier brand it Slade, who had whittled ■down a dozen out tits al (give, should •suddenly turn his whole attention to the Three Bar. ’’l 've got it to do," Stade stated “Since you ve started this deal there's been dealers tiled papers on every good site in my range, waiting to rush in as soon as I lose my grip. Do you think i’ll let them crowd me out? Not tn a thousand years I I'm telling you —I ll break the Three Bar if you keep it up?’ ■"All right!’’ she said. “And wnat about the homestead laws?" “I'm the law out here,’ be asserted. It came to her that Slade was tightJtng on the defensive, that he feared |to let the Three Bat succeed and set tip a precedent in defiance of the isigtis that dotted the range. I ‘Then it’s war!’’ she said. “And you 'll go under yourself, from your i own size, if you haven’t the judgment to hedge yourself now like the rest. The Three Bar. is going ahead —and we re going to win,’’ She turned her horse but Slade caught her arm and whirled her around. He jerked a thumb at the* two men down the ridge. “What can Deane, a half-baked boy. give you?’’ be demanded. “You want an outfit ot your own. I’ll give you that—the biggest in rhe state.’’ She shook tier bead without an swering. “Then I’ll break you,” he predicted a second time. He drew a folded ?lip ■ot paper from his pocket and held it out to her. “That’s the exchange slip.’ lie said “It calls tor three hundred odd bead of mixed stuff. You can send yours over any time.’’ He turned his horse and followed after the ranget while the gir’ joined Harris' and Deane. Harris bad slipped the strap ot his glasses and handed them to Deane who bad dismounted and was peering off ut the spot Harris bad pointed out. A few scattered shacks, showing as toy houses from tiie distance, stood in the center ot a broad open basin, sheltered on ail sides by the choppy mass ot the Breaks. A solid corral, almost a stockade, stood near the buildings. “That’s Arnold’s stockade," Harris explained to Deane. “Arnold was an old-time rustler that finished at the end ot a rope fifteen years ago. Now 11 all the drifters in rhe country stop over here if they want a place to hole up.” “Can t the sheriff clean them out of there?’’ Deane asked. “He could," Harris said. “But no man will make a complaint They can rustle every steer in the country and the losers are afraid to make a report Every outfit is supposed to protect its own. If Alden should ride up lu almost any ranch within a hundred miles and ask them if they’d misseo any stock in the last three years they’d shake their beads and sweat that they hadn’t lost a nooi. But the Three Bar has a clean page; were not afraid he’ll get a line on us white we’re having him round up some one else. The first H-me we get a scrap ot real evidence to any man we ll call Alden in.” “You told me the i'br'se Bar herds have been cut in half." Deane said. • “How touch evidence 6o you need?” “it’s like this: Herds explained “Rustling is about t'.e hardest thing tn the world to prove. There’s a dozen ways they can work it I could catch some of them driving a bunch ot Three Bar cows toward the Idaho line. They’d look up and see me and calm <y ride on past the cows. They could say rhe, bunch was Just dating ahead of their horses —that *t»ey weren’t driving them at all. can’t prove a case ot rustling eve*’ it you see it. unless you actually 'cMcb pne altering the brand. Tin way to con vict a rustler right now is to kill him and swear that you run up on him changing » brand 1 expect that’s What we’ll have to do.” Deane looked at rhe girl to defer mine i» <w stie met this suggestion, in stead ot the shiver ot distaste which tie rather expected her lips were pressed right - * “A little ot that would help Slade, too," she said “He told me Just now that lied smash the Three Bar.” The man reflected that this sort oi a life could not help but wear off some ot her natural fineness and harden her. They followed the rims till they had cleared the Breaks, then angled down to rhe foothills and beaded for ttre Three Bar. They held a steady gait until a half hour after sunset and camped in the open near a tiny spring. Again Deane was impressed with the impropriety of the girl’s being out with two tnen who loved her end the thought was an ache that remained with him. ■As they sat round the little fire the girl minded Harris the paper Slade bad given her It was a scrawled bill el sale calling for three hundred odd bead oi Circle P cows, listed tn the exact numbers ot all ages and sexes, in return she would send him an exchange slip for the same number ot Three Bar stock. This exchange sy> tern was one of Slade’s own devising.

every other brand and so could show bill ot sale for off-brand stuff in their beef shipments or for any rebrands on the range. Deane was regarding tiie penciled memorandum signed by Slade. “Not a very impressive document,’ he observed. Harris laughed at tiie other’s evi dent disapproval of such a slipshod method of property transfer. “Not very,’’ be agreed “But It’s absolutely good. You could borrow money against that at the bunk. Slade doesn’t gel us that wuy but here’s bow be does: He’s mapped out a rebrand system. His rebrand is Triangle on the hip When be gels our exchange slip ull he lias to du is go on bis range and run tiie Triangle on the hip of the number of Three Bat stock it calls for.. There are Three Bar cows ranging a hundred miles from here, just as there’s brands a bun deed miles uft whose stuck turns up here—with a triangle on the hip Who’s going to check Slade up? It would take three crews to cover bis range and tally tiie fresh Three Bar rebrands of this one season—a few here and a tew there. He ships train loads of cows in a year. There’s some old rebrands in each lot. say; maybe more than last year’s exchange Well he simply has been holding them over He can easy explain that. It would break a small outfit to hire enough hands to covet his range and check him up—and tie d buy part ot those. The albino’s men are petty-larceny bandits compared with Slade.’’ Deane turned to the girl. “Billie, why don’t you get out ot a game where everything is crooked—a game ot who can steal the most and every man for himself?” he asked. “Why don’t you fold yout hands and give up your business the first thing that goes wrong?” she countered. “In stead ot trying to remedy it?” “But you don’t have to do It,” he urged. “Neither do you,” she said. “I’ve the same pride in the Three Bar that you have in anything you've bellied build up You'd fight all the harder for one ot your schemes that was hard-pressed—and so would I.” She turned to liei teepee and ended the discussion, het pride a tittle tiurt that Deane should so little appreciate her work—and the spirit that made her hold on instead of giving up. That evening they rode up to the Three Bar just as Waddles •announced the evening meal. “She’s hot!” the big voice wailed “She's re-e-ed hot!” The hands were gathering at the ranch, coming in from the range for a frolic before the beef round-up should keep out for another month Deane’s time was up and he had planned to leave on rhe following day “You can’t do that," Harris said Tw6 more days for you I’ve given orders not to let you oft the place till after the dance at Brill’s I his is Tuesday and the big frolic will be staged Thursday night. Then you’re free to go.” Deane shook uis bead and prepared to offer an excuse but Harris smiling ly refused to consider it. “No use to try,” he said. “The boys won't let you go. We’ve bad you out in the ram and now we ll try to make amends for it. Billie, don’t let him leave the place. I’ll detail you as guard.” “You hear the orders," she said. “You’re stuck for two more days at the Three Bar whether you like it or not.” “That settles it," Deane said. “1 do want to see that dance” Horne strolled up to them as they reached the corral. , “Another ot the wild bunch down, he said. . “Magill this time. Got it just the same as Barton did last week. Shot from in front; one empty shell in his gun. The Breaks is get ting to be a hard place to reside tn.” Again the girl felt that queer sen sation ot having expected this to transpire, as if possibly she had

“Statue of Freedom” on National Capitol

The bronze statue surmounting the dome of the national capitol at Washington is the figure of a woman and symbolizes liberty. This statue is often erroneously supposed to represent an American Indian, owing to the fact that from a distance the helmet of the figure resembles the bonnet of an Indian war chief. In fact the eagles head and the arrangement of the feathers on the helmet were-suggested by costumes of certain Indian tribes. The figure, which weighs 14.H8n pounds and is 19% feet high, "as mod eled at Rome, Italy, by Thomas Craw ford in 1855. from plans adopted in 1850 by Senator .Jefferson Davis of Mississippi, who was then chairman of committee on public buildings. Crawford named the statue “Armed Liberty,” but ever since it ,ved at A Beggar Who Chose A tramp knocked at the troiH door of a house just b •'-•1 the easte a city line recently. “Mam. Cm awful hungry," he <d. The resident, a woipan of great patience and a kind heart, told the man if he w<. ’ * go to the sift- door si would help him. The tramp went to the side door and knocking, said: “Ma’m, I’m awful hungry; could I have something to eat?” The housewife asked the man to have patience and she would get him something. Hungrily, his entire being denoting a long fast, rhe tramp sat down on the doorstep and waited. Presently the resident appeared with a plate of large, appetizing sandwiches. “O, I can’t eat those!” sniffed the tramp. “All I wanted was pie or cake.”—Baltimore Sun.

helped plan the deed herself and had forgotten it. That night as she lay in her bed her mind was concerned with it and at times the solution seemed almost to reach the surface of her consciousness. Two belated riders came up the lane. As they rode past her open windows she heard the name of Magill. “That’s two for Bangs.” said a voice she knew for Moore’s. The evasive sense of familiarity, ot being in some way identified with the killings, was suddenly clear to her—so dear that she marveled at not having, known at once. Old Rile Foster was haunting the Breaks near Arnold’s, imposing grim and merciless justice on all those whom he suspected of having had a band in the finish ot Bangs. CHAPTER VIII Harris had left the ranch an hour before daylight, his ride occasioned by the reports of several of the men. In the last three days each couple that worked the range had found one or more ot tiie new white-face bulls shot down in ilreij territory. The evidence, as Harris pieced the scraps together, indicated that a lone rider had made a swift raid, riding for forty miles along the foot ot the hills in a single day. shooting down every Three Bar hull that crossed his trail. A dozen dead animals marked hi® course. A few more such raids and the Three Bar calf crop would be extremely short tne following spring He rode hack to the corrals in the early afternoon and joined Billie and Deane. “Not a track,” he said. “We must expect more or less ot that. 'They'll cut in on us wherever there’s a chance.” As Harris left them the girl pointed out a horseman riding up rhe lane. ‘The sheriff." she volunteered, and Deane noted an odd tightening of her lips. The sheriff came over to Deane and the girl. “Billie, 1 expect you can tell me who’s doing this killing over in the Breaks.” he said. Her eyes fell under the sheriff’s steady gaze. Deane was looking into her face and with a shock he realized that she could pronuunce the name ot the assassin but was deliberately withholding it. She raised her bead with a trace o1 defiance. “No. 1 can’t tell you.” she said. Deane expected to hear the sheriff’s curl demand that she divulge the name ot rhe man he sought, it must be easily apparent to him. as it was to Deane, that she knew But Alden only dropped a hand on her shoulder and stood looking down at her. “All right, girl," he said mildly. “1 reckon v<'v can’t tell. He can’t be such a rotten sort if,you refuse to turn him up." He pushed back his hat and smiled at Deane. “We have to hu mor the womenfolks out here," he explained. as he turned toward the bunk house. Deane, already at a loss to grasp the mental attitude ot the range dwellers, was further mystified by a sheriff who spoke <»’ humoring the la dies in a matter pertaining to a double killing. “Billie yuu know;’’ ne accused; •why wouldn’t you tell?” “Because Uteres a good chance that he’s a friend ot mine,’ she stated simply. “Those men had it coming to them and some way I can’t feel any regret.” “Billie, let me take you away from all this." Deane urged again “Let me give you the things every gin should have —shut all the rough spots out of your path. I want to give you the things every gin needs to round out her life —a home and love and shelter. This is not the life for a girl." he insisted. “You’ve told me a hundred times that 1 was different from other girls. But now you’re wanting me to he like all the rest. Where would the difference be then?’ she asked a little wistfully “Why can’t you go on liking me the way I am, Instead of making me over?” »TO BE CON’I INUED.)

In the course of the talk when something which they told her surprised her exceedingly, she exclaimed: “Well.

COLOR CONTRAST IN LIGHT CCATS; NEW MOUNTINGS IN NECKPIECES

COLOR contrast and fabric contrast are two controlling elements in apparel design for spring. Sometimes it is the one, sometimes the other and often both fabric and color contrasts occur at the same time. One sees the two-fabric and the two color contrast theme interpreted by the milliner who works felt with >«raw, or either of these with a dis ferent fabric, playing up just now plaids and cheeks and other scar*.

No style item Is more loudly heralded than that ot white with a touch ot color. A white jersey or crepe blouse is piped, per haps, with chartreuse green or very likely bright red. for red-aml-White is a combination much exploited. Not alone as to hats and the blouse, but coats and frocks —in fact in its every phase does fashion emphasize the contrast theme. The coats in the picture happily interpret contrast both in matter of color and fabric. The model io tiie right employs diamond shaped insets of cloth of a different color, also bordering the revers amt sleeves with the contrasting weave The coat to the left is interesting not only because <»f its contrast trim ming. but tiie fact that it is double breasted is significant.
