The Settling of the Sage

CHAPTER X—Continued “I’m sort or expecting maybe the Three Bar will make up the deficit.” Alden said. “It’s cheaper than paying rewards. That's another reason I don't think r’al had a hand in this blacklist report.” The storekeeper grinned. “Surely not. Surely not. Td never suspect him of that.” he said. “But all rhe same it’s working just as well as if he really had.” • • • • • • • The first warm days of spring had drawn the frost from the ground Billie rode beside Harris down the lane to the lower field' A tiny cabin stood completed on every tiling. Two men were digging post holes across rhe vai ley below the edge of the last fall s plowing and rhe mule reams were steadily breaking out another strip. “Almost a year.” she said, referring to rhe commencement* of the new work. ‘lust n year today," Harris correct e.l and he was thinking*of the day be r.ad first met rhe Three Bar girl "This ’ our anniversary, sort of." She nodded as she caught his mean ing. “The anniversary of our partnership." she said “You told me there were millions of miles of sage Just outside. And millions of cows—and girls.” "Later 1 told you something else,” he said “And I’ve been meaning it ever since. The road to the ouiside is closed If I was to start now I’d lose the way.” She pointed dowi the valley as a drove of horses noved toward them under the guidance of a dozen, men. The hands would start breaking out the remuda the following day. The spring work was on. "Off to a running start on another year.” he said. "And sure to hold our lead. From today on out, you and I’ll be a busy pair,” he prophesied. His prediction proved true. The Three Bar was a beehive of activity and it .seemed that the hours bei een dawn and ’dark were all too short for the amoun <u wo-k Harris wished to crowd into them. • The cowhands were breaking out the horses tn the corrals while the acreage of plowed land in the lower fields steadily increased.

Early rains bad moistened the fields and they were faintly green with tiny shoots of oars. These thickened into a rank velvety carper while the homesteaders were hauling a hundred toads of recks to form a crude dam across the stream below the take-out The water was gradually raised till it ran almost flush with the top of the head gate. The gates were lifted and the diverted waters sped smoothly down the ne'- channel to carry life to a portion of the sagebrush desert As the tangible results of the work became more apparent Harris’ vigilance increased. There was now more thin plowed ground to work on; crops to be tin tripled at a time when they would not lift again to permit of mowing; fences to be wrecked so that range stock might have free access to the fields. A single night could upset the work of many months But as he stood with Billie at the mouth of rhe lam he allowed none of his tt mghts to be reflected in his speech.

But even this was an evl sfence of vigilance which had met her eye every day for months and had ceased to impress. I’hey walked to the neat edge of the field and Harris dropped a hand on het shoulder and stood looking down at her “Billie, don’t you think It’s about time you were finding out what Judge -Colton wants?’ he asked. “He’s been right Insistent on your going back M> confei with him."

I’ll take’ Waddles along. As we go down I’ll send Russ or Tiny up to cook for the rest." The deputy turned nis horse into the corral and five tninutes later Har ris and Wa Idles rode away. Waddles was mounted on Creamer, the big buckskin. “Well have to step right along.” Harris said “It’s forty miles.” They held the horses to a stiff swinging trot th • devoured the miles without seeming to tire their mounts.

Another hour and they had slowed down perceptiihly. The two men dismounted and tied the horses to the brush in a she! tered coulee, then started across a broad flat on foot. Out in the center a spot showed darker than the rest—the old cabin where Carpenter had elected to start up for himself after being discharged from rhe Three Bar. When within a hundred yards of the catin - horse, tied to a hitca post in front, neighed shrilly and Harris laid a restraining hand on Waddles arm.

No Real Proof That Meteorites Are “New”

A German scientist has recently en •leavoted to prove that meteors are a relatively recent introduction Into our system. He asserts that no meteorites have ever been discovered among oui •••>ai deposits, or found embedded in our rocks. He says that they evidently did not exist at the period of the Stone age. or traces would have been found His conclusion is that meteors entered our parts of space some 10.000 years ago. and may have been due to the disintegration of a small star. Tills theory has apparently little to support it. If meteors did not exist tt is hard to see how comets could exist. Some of tfle latter revolve in periods of lO.tMMJ years, some 100.000 years, and others of several millions of years. They and their coexisting meteorites have probably been revolving within the boundaries of our solar system as long, or nearly as long, as A Start in Life A wedding occurred lately in which there was much interest. Friends ot the bride gave her many receptions and “showers” and these were appropriately mentioned ih the news papers. The bride had been prepared for years for market; sent away to school, given music lessons, and the like. In the wedding notice, the pa pers said the" groom was a promising young business man, and the bride womanly and beautiful. The young couple went to the home of the bride’s parents to live. The groom hadn’t a job or $lO in money. Millions of such marriages turn out fairly well.—E. VV. Howe’s Monthly.

Morrow gave me a bill el sale from you calling for a hundred head of Three Bar she-stock, rebranded Triangle on the hip.” Slade nodded shortly. “I gave Morrow that for two years back pay when he quit. He could sell out to you If he liked." “And now 1 Want to sell out." Carp said. “And he gone from here.” “How many head have you got?" Slade asked. “Three hundred head.” Carp stated ’•You’ve increased right fast.” Slade remarked. “I’d think you’d want m stay where you was doing so well How much do you want?” “Five dollars straight through.’ Carp said “Cheap enough.” Slade answered “If only a man was in the market." He looked straight at Carp and the man’s eyes slipped away from Slades steady gaze "But I’m not buying Likely Morrow will buy you out." “Morrow ought to he here now. Carp stated “He’s coming tonight ” "Then I’d netter -go." Slade said “I don’t like Morrow’s ways."

Morrow stiffened suddenly in «hi>» chair as - cold ring was pressed against the back of his neck through the crack of the window. At the same instant Carp had tilted back and raised one knee, '"he gun that rested on his teg was peeping over the table at Slade. “Steady!’ he ordered. “Sit tight!” The window was thrown up to ,ts full heigh by Waddles and the curtain snatched awaj from the gun which Harris held against Morrow’s neck. Carp flipped back his vest and revealed a marshal's hadge. “I'd as joon take you along feet first as any way.” he said. “So if you feel like acting up you can start any time now.” Slade’s eyes came back frou the two men at the window and rested on the badge. “So that’s it," he said with evident relief. “A real arrest—when I figured it was an old-fashioned murder you had planned. What do you want with me?” Waddles had reached down and removed Morrow’s gun. “A number of things,” Carpenter said. “Obstructing the homestead laws for one." Slade shook'tils head and smiled. “You’ve got rhe wrong parry,” he said. "Yo_ can t prove anything on me” j “1 don’t count on that.” Carp said “You’ve covered lup right well. We know you work through Morrow hot can t prove a word. We’ve got enough to hang him; but I expect maybe you’ll get off.” There was a scrape ot feet outside the door and the sheriff entered and took possession of Slade’s gun as Har ris and Waddles moved round from the window and went Inside. “I’m a few minutes late." Alden said “I wasn't right sure how close I was to the house so I left my horse too far back.” “Here’s your prisoners." Carp said “Captured and delivered as agreed I haven't anything on Slade myself but if you want him he’s yours.” “What do you want with me?” Slade demanded a second time. “I’m picking you tip on complaint made by the Three Bar."

The Rose The rose is said to have originated in Persia. It was used as a medicine and as a food by the ancients, and the Chinese still serve rose fritters at their New Year feast. By the Romans this flower was regarded as the symbol of silence as well as of love, and its name is a variation of the word Eros, the name of the god of love. In Rome It was used as an emblem of victory, of triumphant love and of pride and pomp. By long association it was regarded as pagan, and after the founding of Christianity it was. therefore. In dis grace. Its beauty, however, was Irre sistible. and it soon became the flower of Christian martyrdom and the sym bolos divine love, being used in sa cred paintings along with the Illy Martin Luther took a rose for tils official seal, and it is glorified in the writings of Dante.

AFTER ail. there’s nothing can outclass a natty two-piece i tailored suit, when it comes to ; “good style.” One never makes j a mistake in selecting a simple | tailleur like rhe one in the picture | for general wear. It is a very late and a very youthful model of navy blue flannel —has the smart ckprtF\ lar-cut skirt and the canligau \ jacket silhouette. / \ And do not neglect to take note ; \ of the scarf! More and fashion depends upon the gay [scarf to add the finishing touch to any and every tailleur. Speaking of scarfs, rise mode has so elaborated upon the theme that “scarfology’’ has become a most complicated yet fasinating study of color, fabric and design. Then, too, there is the art of wearing to be mastered, which is as important as the scarf itself. No longer is the scarf a mere triangle or square or oblong of silk It’s all that, with a thousand and one startling innovations introduced both as to the scarf itself and the new tricks in the way it is worn. One of the swankiest ideas is the one-side scarf adjusted so as to reveal a single streamer. This idea is not only carried out with accessory scarfs, as is shown in the picture, hut necklines of coats and dresses feature the one-side scarf effect in ingenious ways. Among recent scarfs is the triangle which has a slot cut in one end. through which the other end is pulled, thus doing away with tying it in a knot. You will like this model. It Is so practical Color contrast takes the place of printed patternings in many of the latest scarf versions. That is. half of a triangle will he navy perhaps, the other half bright red or tangerine, or the combination may be black and white or possibly purple with chartreuse. Then, too, there are many flying ends to some of the scarfs. They con-

trive to start from the back when worn, some tying to the front, others fluttering out from between the shoulders. There’s this about the new scarfs—they baffle description, so eccentric yet withal so charming are they. It’s worth while sauntering around to the neckwear department, for the modern scarf must be seen in order to appreciate the extent of its novelty and diversity. Exotic straws, beguiling colors and perfectly charming shapes make hat shopping a real joy at this time of tlie year. The new straws such as baku, ballibuntl. sisol and bangkok are exquisite ly fine, feminine and springlike. They are dyed in colors which enthrall. Tangerine is a featured shade. A thin linenlike straw in this color is irres sistible. No matter the price, it is worth curtailing expense in some other Taffeta and Tulle An evening frock for the young girl, which has everything to commend It In the way of chic, is made of flowered taffeta, with an irregular hemline edged with tulle.

Two shades never looked more stunning together To the fascinations of color and straw, a third is added —the winsonieness of the shapes themselves. This surely is a season when “bonnets is bonnets.” including every type from little cloches and cunning scoop fronts with shallow crown to “baby bonnet" effects with their plaited frills ar the back. The new Paris shapes remind over and over again that when it comes to bonnet brims there are contours and contours. One also realizes that either a has a brim or it has none.

POULTRY •EKTS FOOD FOR CHICKS GIVEN BY KAUPP Mash and Grain Should Be Fed First Nine Weeks. The 100 chicks with which one will start a poultry flock of .10 hens to be raised, will first need 450 pounds of feed up until the ninth week, and thereafter, for the whole year. Hie 50 liens selected will need 4.250 pounds of feed. “The 450 pounds of feed needed for the 100 ducks up until the ninth week should l>e 250 jmunds of mash feed and 200 pounds of grain.” says Dr. B F. K;it!p!>. In ml < f Hw poultry department at the North Carolina State college. “Then when the 50 hens are selected from the tot. these hens will ,10 pounds of grain and 35 pounds of mash per hen for a year. This makes at total of 4.2-50 pounds of feed that should be provided on the home farm. OF this amount 2.500 pounds is grain feed and may be supplied by 23 bushels of corn. 24 bushels of oats and 1” bushels of wheat. To supply the 1.750. pounds of mash feed also in the ration, the grower should raise 10 bushels of corn and 11 bushels of oats.’.’ Some additional feed will also be needed on the poultry farm for young and growing birds, therefore. Doctor Ki.upp says, if the average farm keeping a flock of 50 adtiß hens will produce for "the poultry. 25 bushels of corn. 2C» bushels of oats and 15 bushels of wheat, rhe owner will need to buy only al out 400 pounds of fish meal or meat meal. -lOO'.pounds of middlings and 75 pounds of bone meal to have his birds well fed. Doctor Katipp has worked out a laying mash and a grain feed which has given excellent results on the experimental poultry farms. The successful farmer who keeps a flock of pure-bred poultry as a side-line should not have to buy tiis feedstuffs. They can be raised and mixed at home with excellent results, declares Doctor Kaupp. Delouse Setter Before Putting Her on Eggs Before you set any hen not known to be absolutely free of lice, give her some sort of treatment to destroy lice and then see that the nest is clean, with fresh nest material. The nicotine sulydiate treatment recemly discovered is one of ' - - ways to delpuse a setting hen Paint a few dabs ofit in the bottom of a box just large enough tor the hen to sit In, and put her in it over .ight. it wilt not deter her from setting bit? it wi. l destroy all living lice. Now use a bit of blue ofntinent in the region below the vent where lice hree<l and there will be no dice problem when chicks hatch. If a lousj hen is just about ready to hat.eh, paint the nicotine sulphate generously tn a box that has been warmed to promote rap’d evaporation of the fumes, and pur tiie hen in for an hour, covering he> eggs with warm flannel in the meantime. Use the blue ointment also to get the nits that may hatch. There are other ways of delottsing which takes more time. Whatever is used, do it before the chicks hatch and avoid the troubles that lice bring. Poultry Hints Liquid -kirn milk is "great stuff’’ for chicks. Look out for substitutes. Buckwheat is often used in the scratch feed. It is high in fiber, although Hoi as high as oats. » » * Trap nesting is the only sure way to get an exact record of a bird or flock production, but it is hard work. ♦ • ♦ According to experience it is not necessary to feed cracked corn when good whole torn can he raised or purchased. * • « In addition to the mash, the liens should be given all the grain they can eat. especially in the afternoon before roosting time. * • • It is a mistake to crowd 200 pullets into a house 100 feet long. From 3!-» to 4 square feet of floor space should be allowed each bird.' * ♦ ♦ Wheat screenings should never be used if musty, smutty or heated because it may have a bad effect pn the digestive tract of the fowl. • • • By trap nesting you are sure to select your best layers and by breeding from them, provided they are of good standard requirements, you can soon increase your flock average. * * * Poultrymen should be on the alert for the afipearanee of roup or chickenpox in their flock. Flock owners cannot afford to have their flocks thrown out of production at the season of high prices. • • • From ten days to two weeks after mating, hatching eggs may be saved. The care of the eggs while holding may Influence in no little manner the success of the hatch. Eggs should be held in a dry room at a temperature to 55 to 60, degrees Fahrenheit and turned at least once each day. • * * Don't try to raise chickens aud turkeys together. If you want to raise both move your turkey coops out away from chicken coops and houses. Mites, fleas and lice are deadly enemies to little turkeys. * ♦ • If it is necessary to change males beading a poultry flock during the breeding season, one must wait for a period of three weeks in order to make sure that ail eggs are fertilized by the new males. After ten days, over 05 per cent ot the chicks will be the offspring of the new males. <•
