"It would be impossible forme to answer them smd I have given up the hope of informing theapplicants how slim* their chargesarc. I %tid*nt know so many peoplecould want minor appointment inthe public service;

One county judge, his commit-sionerg and a big delegation oi taxpayers from a particular coantyseat came to see me about the ap-pointment of a man a$ road over-seer at a monthly salary of $135 and$15 more for the upkeep of the carhe must possess.

Club will meet May 7 -with Mrs.HershH Hord.

Many citizens of Brewster Coun-ty are elated over the recent an-nouncement by Mr, W. T. Kempepthe ne wpresident of the K.C.M.&ORailway, that ttie yhoped to ex-tend the line from Alpine, to Chi-huahua, Mexico, a distance of about150 miles in the near future.

As difficult as this may seem tosome, this is coming—if not soon,then later on. The fact that thereare ms.ny obstackles to overcomein the construction of the 150miles into Mexico will not preventconstruction if it is seen that theexpenditure is justified in the benefits to be derived.

The building of this line will bethe absolute making of this sectionof Texs.s, since it wi$ open up richcountry—rich in farming possibilities, minerals, ranching, and numerous cither industries. More interest is already being manifested inprospective industries and development tts sure to follow extension ofthe railway info Mexico.

The Brewster County PotashMountsJn. and other mineral! pros-pects i.hrought bo be of commer-cial value, will i«ceive attention asthe distance to railway transportation will be lessened considerabty.Then along the Rio Grande, it isexpected that large bdies f landwill be put into cultivation, andfarms instated.

jehlch is also Anderson's objec-tive. He overtakes her and the1-wo men with whom he had trou-ble the night before. She is sus-picious of him and the two men

hostile.

CHAPTER Ill—Cotitinued

Shorty glared at him. "Say, whattinea game are you playin, that'swhat we want to know?" he demanded."Is this a showdown or ain't ii:?"

"Not for me/' answered Lee,."All right!" Shorty clambered on

his horse with an oath and canteredback to where Pierre was standing,cursing as he tried to tighten hisgirth. A colloquy ensued. The pairrode up to the girl, who was already inher saddle. There followed an ani-mated pantomime, with gesticulationstoward Lee. The girl seemed to sitobst:nately mute, as if she remainedneutral.

Syddenly Shorty wheeled his horseabout. "Come 'long, Pierre, I guesswe've give the fool his chanst!" heshouted. And, to Lee's surprise, thepair kicked their mounts in the ribs,and in a moment were off at full gal-lop, along the trail leading Into therange beyond the valley.

The girl and Lee looked after themtill 1:hey were out of sight. Then sherode slowly up to where Lee was sit-ting on his mount.

*1 understand that you insist on ac-t*>m;Danying me?" she asked. "De-spite the fact that I have made itclear I do not require your company?"

"I m sorry you take my pres€tnee inthat spirit. I assure you I have no de-sire to be troublesome. But under thecircumstances I must ask leave to goWith you as far as your destination."

She bit her lip."I suppose you mean what you are

tJoing as a kindness," she said. "Andsince you appear determined to ac-company me, I suppose there is nottse in our sulking with each other, isthere?"

"I wish we could be friends,**answered Lee, offering her his liand.

Bat the girl's little hand did notadvance to meet his.

"1 mean," she sa^d, "If we are com-panions, we may as well acknowledgeIt, though I assure ycu. I am a veryunwilling one. That does not implyfriendliness. I hope your persistenceWill be properly rewarded."

**][>et me say once and for al!," Leeanswered, "that I have no desire topry into your business. I don't evenknow your name, or wish to ask it."

"'.It I dared to let myself believe thatyou have no other purpose in viewthan Just to protect me—-" she began."But it is Impossible. Men aren'tUke 0»et, They are wolves, they arewolverenes, treacherous, cunning, re-morseless. Oh, if I could believe you,II I dared trust you—"

*I would do anything on earth tohelp and serve you,"' answered Lee.'If you mean seriously that 3fou findIt so difficult to make your decision be-tween those men and myself—I don'tthink It's conceit to say this, and, if itIs, this isn't the time to think of any-thing like that—a man Is said to bearthe stamp of his life and character onhis face. I don't know what impres-sion I give to others, but I know whatImpression those two men gave me.Can't you read their faces? If youcan't trust me, can you, at least, sayhonestly that you trust them?"

"But you—what ara you—why—TShe looked at him fearfully. MIt Isn'tthat It isn't—God forbid!—that Ithink you capable of—of what you toldme about them. If It were simply amatter of choosing between yourselfand them, I should put my trust Inyou without the smallest hesitation.£ut__Oh, I can't .say any more. It'shopeless—it is worse degradation thandeath to me, and yet I must keep upmy strength and resolution—I must—"

The breakdown came upon her likea lightning stroke. She seemed tocrumple up; she sobbed desolately intoher hands.

Lee movetf to her side. "Do youknow," he said, "we have to trustpeople in this life, even if they de-ceive us. It doesn't harm us to bebetrayed." But he was thinking ofEstelle as he spoke, and he wonderedhow far that was true. Estolle's be-trayal had changed the whol« settingof his life tor him. "Trust me," hesaid.

"Let me help you. Tel] me whereyou are going, and why, and whatthose men are to you."

It was a full half-minute before shetook her bands from her face, but shetfld not reply. All that day they rodetogether. But sot until they had

freer* she cried. "No, It's !mI must just go on and ask Godme strength to bear It: Don'tto me for a few moments—therisorry I made such a fool of my

She smiled. "At any rate,going to acknowledge eachexistence, aren't we?" she said,if you insist on riding with me—well,.I can't help it. Only, I warn you, you,are going Into danger—grave danger.Tiose two men—I am afraid they maybe planning to do you some injury."

"I don't think they are likely to tryvery hard," answered Lee.

"But—but others —" she whispered."It fe not only they!

"You begged me to trust you. Yousaid that you would do anything toserve and help me. Did you meanthat?"

"Anything that is possible.**^Anything?" she persisted.rtIf It lies In my power.""Then would you—would you kill a

man for me? A human wolf, one ofthose devil creatures that does not de-serve to live? WouM you kill him*toserve me?

"Wait before you answer. He Isa man who hatf betrayed • those whohave trusted him, made humanity -amockery; he is the foylest thing thatcreeps upon the earth. Earth shot Idbe rid of him. If I help you, will youshoot him down like the savage degthat he is, In cold blood, without dan-ger to yourself, while he is sleeping?If I help yon?"

"No," answered. Lee quietly.She laughed In mocking scorn. "So

I supposed," she answered. "You men,with your professions* of loyalty andservice—you're all the same when itcomes to the test."

*'I won't commit murder In coldbl,ood and without provocation."

"No, of course not. You see, theremight be jnst a little danger in it. Heis very crafty, and your offer of serv-ice didn't include personal risk—"

Lee's fingers closed on her arm.•'That's not the way," he said. "Onedoesn't right wrongs with wrongs, oreven up scores by murder. Tell meeverything, and I pledge myself to seethat whatever wrong you have suf-fered shall be redres«ed."

"Oh, I've heard, that before, andwhen I put you to the test I foundJust what those words were wortt:,,"she answered lightly. "No, please for-get what I have just said to you. Ididn't mean It, anyway. There is nosuch man as I spoke of. There couldn'tbe, for he would have been killed longago. I was just wondering whether Iwas to take you seriously or not—andI found we were both playing a game.Good-night!"

She moved away abruptly and weatinto her tent

And all that night: he lay, hardlydozing, his automatic beside his hand,waiting and wondering.

1 The Trap In SprungIn the morning she greeted him wit!

a forced gaiety. She nodded and smilecwhen she came out of her tent.

"Well, we shall ride on together today, I suppose," she said. "I.have tolclyou that I do not desire your company, and that your enterprise is probably a dangerous one. You have taksnthe responsibility upon yourself. Wltlithe understanding, we go as com-panions Instead of enemies. Is tha:not so?"

And this time It was the girl whoextended her hand. Lee took It rfndheld it for a moment in his own.

"That's the understanding," he aB-swered. "I intend to see you to yourdestination, wherever that Is, anlafter that you need not be afraid ofmy troubling you any more."

"And as for yesterday," said th»girl, "you will forget that I was a littlehysterical and upset? You see, It isquite an ordeal, going; on so long ajourney, and I was tired and sal 3foolish things that had no meaning i ithem at all."

She watched Lee's face closely &Bshe said this. But Lee did not replv.

They mounted and continued thejourney. It was about ten o'clockwhen they heard two or three failreverberations in the distance. Thegirl, who was riding a few yards aheadof Lee, reined in and stood her horaeupon a turfy hillock, waiting for hiiDto eaten up with her.

"What was thatr she asked, lool:-ing at him with startled eyes.

"Dynamite," Lee responded."Dynamite? Why—who would—V"Some prospector blasting rock OQ

his claim, nc doubt," answered Leo,and again there sounded a detonation.

'She qeemed to muse a moment ortwo. "It rather startled" me," shesaid. "I have been afjtfidr&inct thosetwo men left a4r~afrd|<j|| somt nan amay come to you from them. You wllbe on your vuar& won't you?". ^

"Yea, I promisfe yon that," I'M in

some twenty 'pace* bell&aa sudden Lee's horse balked, Utid backhis ears and. snorted, planted Ma lore-feet firmly and refused to move.

It was almost impossible to dis-mount and lead him, for at thstt point,the narrowest part of the trail, therewas hardly standing room for man andbeast together. Lee held in 4the ani-mal with a tight rein* a « ! patted hisquivering flanks.

He could no^uff&erstand^wJiat hadalarmed it, but now some instinct^pejj-haps communicated from the beest'sbrain to his, seemed to tell, of dangerthreatening. IV *

He glanced at the g!#, Mid saw i:bishe wa3 almost acK»ss the daiuzone. He dared not call to her,fear of startling her. And, indeed,

He Caught at Her Horse's Bridle."Jump! J urn pi" He Shouted, Hold-ing Out His Arms.

there was no reason to call, althoughthat baseless instinct was now becom-ing !io strong that it almost amountedto canvlction.

Ht> could not see the least cause forapprehension anywhere. His fears ap-peared absurd; and yet that electricmessiage of warning went flashing backand forth between his mind and thatof his frightened mount.

Then suddenly there came the roarof an explosion, muffled underground;the next the rocks over his headseemed to upheave. An enormouscrack appeared in the face of the wallof solid rock, which trembled and ap-peared to move toward him, as ifpushed by a gigantic hand; and beforethe reverberations had died away Leeheard a faint', crepitating sound, likethe rustling of paper—the sliding ofthe interior strata, one upon another.

A little avalanche of stones, dis-lodged from the surface, came rush-ing down the face of the cliff midwaybetween the girl and himself. HadLee's horse not atdpped, it must havebeen swept over the edge of the preci-pice.

Another roar, and a huge rock top-pled and fell, this time behind, andsmashed into a score of fragmentswhich went rolling Into the chasm be-low, waking a hundred reverberationsamong the hills.

And with that Lee understood Ithedevilish scheme that was in the wlrk-ing. The dynamiting which he padheard that afternoon was the prelmi-nary work of the tw° V e n lEl piing their trap; 4pfer|ihf jLhad setamong the r o c k f c M Hof the trail, with ^he#un*Gse ofIng him J^prti! | i | l^

TELLING A MAN'S BUSINESS

MAKPA N EW EEA, MARFA, TEXAS

IT HAS always been interesting tome when riding on a train or sit-

ting in the lobby of a strange hotelto try to figure out the business orprofession of the men who pass buckand forth. Idiosyncracles of drtitg,mannerisms,' tricks of speech, all giveus away and help to reveal our pro-fessional identity.

The man across the aisle from meis unquestionably connected with thetheater. His intonation, his pronunci-ation, -studied and over-emphasized,his clothing somewhat extreme bothin pattern and cut; his diamond ringand scarfpin with stones as big ashazelnuts indicate that he Has mtidea killing either on the legitimate orin the movies. Near him is a clergy-man announcing his profession by Msround collar and his high cut vest,and farther down is a commercialtraveler and a business mttn and astudent, each giving himself away, asmost of us do, by something charac-teristic of the trade.

The barber at the Belmont wasmore than ordinarily talkative andmore than ordinarily clever In histalk, and I returned his lead so faras it was possible.

"I hope you won't think me Inquis-itive," he said, "but what is yourbusiness?"

"What would you guessi"' I an-swered, not answering his questiondirectly.

"Well," he replied, °I think you lireIn some sort of manufacturing busi-ness, and you are the director or su-perintendent. You haTe a good dealto do with men."

"What kind of manufacturing busi-ness?" I Inquired, trying to draw himout. >

"I think it's steel," he went on."Yes, Vfa pretty sure it's steel."

"You're a good goesser," I an-swered, "but it isn't steel; it's Ivory.I'm helping manage an Ivory factor;?."

Perhaps there was a little &leam inmy eye, perhaps the tone of my voicegp.ve it aw"ay, but he was not .-satisfied.

"I believe you're kidding me," hesaid. "Honest, now, what Is yourbusiness?"

"I &m a dean in a college," I admit-ted. "Now isn't that an ivory fac-tory?"

"Well, I didn't suppose they werelike that," he said, and I couldn't tellfrom his tone whether he meant It asa compliment or otherwise.

As I have said, we all, more or lews,give away our business, and oiten «cn-sciously and Intentionally do so. Per-haps In some cases this is & good thiogand serves as an introduction to whatis to follow. But the most subtle andforceftil effects, I have found, In sell-ing oneself to the individual or to thecrowd conies from surprise, from tlaeunexpected. The plain clothes mancan find out more In an hour than thepoliceman in uniform can discover fillday. As we keep away from IJie con-ventional manners and dress andvernacular of our various professionswe catch our opponents with theirguards down, and the more easily de-feat them, and this Is true whetherwe are selling soap or salvation.

CONVENTIONS

young fellow from Oak Pai*had his hat pulled tightly doini

over his ears as he stood talking to ayoung girl on the street. He was a;p-patently as unconscious of social erroras if he had been speaking to a pollen-man in the middle of the street. Alittle farther on I came upon a well-dressed youth smoking while walkingwith a woman. It gave me a littleshock like .the striking of a false noteby a player. Was it ignorance orthoughtlessness or inexperience or anunspoken affront which caused them todo the unconventional?

There are many conventions whichin themselves mean little and whichsometimes, perhaps, are best honoredin the breach, excepting as they mayshow our breeding or reveal the spiritthat is within us. It Is perhaps as safeand as easy to eat with one's kjaife aswith a fork; we would be as healthyand more comfortable 11 we neverwore collars or neckties. We do aobecause it Is custom. Taking the hatoff is a symbol only, sometimes of ref-erence, sometimes of respect for form,,or womankind, or old age, or place, orposition, or authority.

A man who comes Into a public meet-Ing where there are men and womenand who keeps his hat on until he inseated looks crude no matter who hois. A men who enters a public offlcuwhere there are women, with his haton, or who stands doing business withan official of prominence or of maturuye*>rs, without taking off his hat, eT«iIf that official Is not a girl omlta itmatter of respect and courtesy andloses by the omission.

We are told In cards if in doubt playtrumps. In social matters if we ar*in the same mental condition it in al-ways safe to take off the hat. We gain,in self-respect and dignity and irever«ence andflin the regard of others byrespecting these conventions. It it «good thing for our souls; it is a de-veloper of our character. The manwho takes off nil hat it more of agentleman than he otherwise would be,

FARMSTOCKPOISONOUS PLANTS

KILL RANGE STOCK(Prepared by the TJnitod States Department

of Agriculture.)Among the many anxieties of the

range stockman, not the least if; theworry occasioned l*y the presence oi! agreat variety of plants poisonous tocattle and sheep. The problem of re-ducing the losses from this cause hasbeen of much concern to the stateB Inthat region, and scientists of the Unit-ed States Department of Agriculturehave devoted much attention to find-ing the various%plants responsible forthe losses, describing them, and sug-gesting practices that will protect theindustry.

No exact figures are available as tothe number of animals lost each yesarthrough this cause, *but there is evi-dence that the drain is heavy, prob-ably as much as 3 to 5 per cent Es-timates are that stockmen in Coloradoalone lose a million dollars annuallyas-a result of plant poisoning. Sheep-men in Wyoming believe their loriesfrom the same cause are nearly 15. percent, most of the animals being mature jones which represent a large expend!- 'tore in their raising.

Investigations show that althoughthere are many poisonous plants, moatof the losses are caused by a few spe-cies. Practically all the deaths ofsheep and cattle from plant poisoningare caused by death camas, larkspur*,locos, water hemlock, laurels, milk-weeds, western sneezeweed, Coloni dorubber plant, woody aster, raylisssgoldenrod, fern, coyotillo, wild cherry,gfleasewood, oak, lupines, coffee beim,and Indian turnip. Some of theseplants cause very heavy losses undercertain conditions and some of themire only occasionally eaten In dangtar-ius quantities.

Stockmen may protect themselves:?rom losses by studying these various]plants so as to be able, to recognizethem. The department is making In-vestigations and has issueQ descrip-lions of a great many of them.

Find Potatoes Good forHcgs in South Dakota

The possible use of cull potatoes asJ. feed for hogs was investigated inlecent experiments at the South Da-l:ota, station. Potatoes were fed cookedf.nd raw with corn and tankage. Rawpotatoes were not palatable to the pigs£ nd it was difE cult to get them to *<?atraany. When raw new potatoes werefed wltn corn and tankage, 513 poundsreplaced 100 pounds of yellow corn.When old potatoes were "fed In thesame way, however, 962 pounds W€!i*elequired J:o take the place of 100pounds of "corn. The pigs fed raw p>titoes made poor gains.

Cooked potatoes were a great dealmore palatable than raw potatoes w/thcsrn and tankage made satisfactorygaimt, and took much less feed. Inthree trials an average of 339 poundsof cooked potatoes replaced 100 poundsof shelled corn.

Those in charge of the experimentsuggest that if cooked potatoes aref<;d, the proportion of cooked potatoesto corn should not be greater than fourto one. About thirty pounds of a cheapg-ade of soft coal were required tocook a barrel of potatoes.

The experiment suggests that theonly time when the feeding of potatoesto hogs :ls justified is whon a consid-erable quantity of unmarketable P-CHtrioes is on hand.

Substitute Barley forCorn in the Hog Ration

In sections where barley is avail-able, farmers can get good results bysubstituting barley for corn in the ho.jrt.tion. In a recent test at the Wlfii-consin experiment station 12 lots ofpigs were fed, using ground bai>ley in the ration. The return for eachpig over the cost of feed was <$14Ufc3fcr the bariey-fed pigs and $12.38 fort ie corn-fed pigs.

Interesting facts were brought outin this experiment as to how barleymight be used in various combina-tions, one being barley and whey,which netted a handsome return,
