Tichenor climbed up on the fence and watched her work ; lie thrilled with professional pride ns tier small loop went tinder the holly of each victim and curled up and over the legs of the calf ns the little animal went forward ; he observed how gently she laid him down, saving undue strain on her rinta, and dragged him through the soft loose dirt to the tire. Unite Tenney, working a calf along the fence below Nate, said out of the corner of ids mouth as he passed: Ninety-twcalves so far today and she hasnt missed her cast yet."

When the world wenried him he could always come hack to Eden Valley and enjoy the society of people who hnd mastered the great art of silent companionship. I.orry had waved her riata at him ns lie took Ids seat on the fence; thereafter she paid no attention to him. She was busy. So lie sat on the fence for an hour, dreaming, remembering, planning. Finally lie saw a horse standing, with drooping head, outside the corral. A riata was coiled on the saddle. "My horse. Lorry?" lie called to the girl. "Whenever you get your job of dreaming done with," she called back, lie climbed down, cinched the saddle Ride him, tighter, and swung aboard. cowboy, Lorry cried Joyously, and as If tins was a signal; the horse went into action. Tichenor stayed with 1dm for six Jumps, then sailed oft Into space and lit on ids hands und knees In the soft dirt; n hereupon everybody laughed long and Joyously at his discomfiture. A dozen feet away ttie horse was standing, gaz.ing curiously at him. Lorry rode up to the fence and looked at him. What happened?" she asked sympathetically, lie picked himself up, furious with embarrassment nnd glared at her. "Ive been away a long time. Im soft. I cant grip em like I used to," he mumbled, and caught up the horse. The brute tried to throw him again, but this time Tichenor stuck, and the horse, deciding lie had had the worst of the argument, Jogged sedately away to the corral gate, swung into It for Nate to slip t he wooden latch, pushed it open with ids shoulder, pushed it shut again and sidled humbly up to the latch for his rider to slide it home again. Tichenor shook out Ids loop, found an uribranded calf ami roped it neatly around the hind legs. Lorry smiled her approval ami before her smile bis anger and embarrassment melted ami he smiled hack. Nate, 1 bet Rube a hundred dollars you'd ride him straight up and Stay with him. You rode him straight up but you didn't stay with him so you lost a hundred dollars for me." Why didnt you hot Rube another hundred Id miss my first calf." I did, she coiilossed sadly. "Im out two hundred on you. "Go Pet him two hundred more 1 can rope ten straight. She called her bet to Iiuhe Tenney. Taken," the superintendent yelled bnck. "And another hundred lie misses one calf in the first five." Take it, Tichenor urged. Lorry took It and he won both bets for her. Tichenor Stayed With Him for Six Jumps. Forty feet beyond tlie gate Tichenor's rope settled over his head and stopped him; even ns he stopped, the man was going out of the saddle; crawling up along tlie rope, he flopped the calf, tied him and rolled him over; then Rube Tenney inspected tlie tie and pronounced it perfect. "Fifteen and a fifth, he announced. "Good fast work, Nate. They rode back into the corral and watched Lorry haze her calf out. As his tail cleared tlie gate post she snagged him; like Nate she lit running, flanked tlie calf expertly and tied him. Tichenor came down and rolled the little animal over twice. "Nothing wrong with that tie, lie announced. T.y crikey, youre strong. Give the lady ten thousand dollars," Rube Tenney ordered. Fourteen flat. An' youve traveled a long way for a lickin', mister. Nate Tichenor. using tlie flat of his saddle for a desk, wrote out tlie check. Thanks. tlie girl said casually, and waved the check to dry the ink.

Well, I have Slip smiled up at him. resented your valet," slip admitted, sij ly. "What does a valet know about taking care of a man?" He dismounted, squatted on his heels In the shadow of tlie corral and motioned her to sit beside him.

Lorry, but the land was worth that to me. Had anybody but you owned it I would iVave haggled and made a couple of hundred thousand dollars. Ilut it wasn't charity. I wasnt in love with you when we closed that deal. That's happened since nnd I don't know why. I only know I'm glad It's happened, even if nothing should ever come of it. Sit down please.

He waved his I dont belong hand toward the east. in that country and I dont like it. I want to live here and you might as well know it now. Go on. Im listening. Nate.

Lorry, youre a darling. Ye!l, Ive found a way to popularize both claos. When the Mountain Valley Rower company's dam is in, I'm going to sell water cheap to Forlorn Valley. They're irrigating from deep wells over there." "Those people are a miserable lot, Nate. I was blackballed out of the womens club in Yalley renter. Colors of Male Birds and Lizards Serve to Frighten Off Their Rivals Its long been a popular idea ttiat In the animal world the gay coloring of tlie male is bestowed upon him to attract a mate. This isn't really so. says Hr. G. Kingsley Nobel, curator of experimental biology at tlie American Museum of Natural History, fur tlie brilliance of his dress serves rather to frighten away rivals than to attract the lady of his choicd. These conclusions readied through laboratory research, differed so widely from tlie views of Parwin nnd the majority of scientists that Doctor Nothe ble deemed it desirable to natural conditions, under problem Tlie United Clay Mines corporation, through its vice president. C. W. Hall, generously 'offered to help his field studies by placing at Doctor Nobles disposal a house in tlie New Jersey pine barrens, where tlie fence lizard, Seeloporous undulutus, was abundant. The male of tills species boars on either side of his body a handsome stripe of blue which is nearly continuous with a spot of tlie same color on the throat ns distinguished from tlie female which has little coloration. The males, as the season pro y gresses," writes Doctor Noble in Natural History Magazine of the American Museum of Natural History, becomes extremely pugnacious and establishes himself in a definite territory. If another male is dropped into that territory, the first tenant either goes Into a full display-- , compressim his sides until his gorgeous blue stripe stands out in shimmering brilliancy, or else lie dashes forward in most violent attack. If the trespasser is a female the male never displays. This difference In behavior observed at frequent intervals shows that the bright colors of the male fence lizard are employed to bluff possible rivals into withdrawing from a fight The adornment of tlie male is not wed ding finery but a gladiators vestment.'

I want no credit from those people, Nate. A break in her voice caused him to Tears were glance sharply at her. rolling silently down her cheeks. lie gazed moodily down Eden Valley and watched tlie last rays of the sun gilding the crowns of tlie scattered pines. Yes, the people of Forlorn Yalley had always been free to use Eden Valley for a playground. They cant come to Eden Valley any more, he decided aloud. "Ill put a sign up on the gate that leads from tlie open country to tlie Bar II." Tlie mountaineer was speaking now. I wouldnt have truck with your enemies, Lorry."

He was happy at last; tlie thought came to him that never again would he be lonely. Nevertheless, he had dreamed a big dream and he recoiled from the prospect of abandoning it. "We needn't be friendly with them, darling, he resumed, "but we can sell them water, make a lot of money out of them and save them a lot of money. And its not altogether their fault that we've been ostracized. You've got to admit we werent a wholesome crew. Well ruin them," she cried, passionately, "and when they've been ruined we'll run cattle over their farms, Nate. She was still recalcitrant, for she had been wounded deeply, and women do not forget their wounds as readily as men do. Tm not Interested, Nate. I am not my brother's keeper. "I rather thought you might urge me to be nice to them, he complained a little sadly. And he went on to sketch the situation as he had conceived it, the girl listening alertly and forbearing to interrupt him. At the conclusion of his statement she said: "Very well, Nate. I'll get religion and love mine enemies; theyve struck me on one cheek, but for your sake Ill turn the other. Rut I'll not forgive Silas Bahson. Nate, he killed my father just as surely as any Hensley ever killed a Kershaw or any Kershaw ever killed a Hensley. You said a moment ago you wouldnt have truck with my enemies. Well, that Babson is my enemy. Are you going to have truck with him?" I do not see how I can very well avoid that, Lorry. Forlorn Valley will have to form an Irrigation district to get tlie water and you know Babson's their bellwether. Hell run the show. He mustnt run it with you. Youll run that show. Ill not have you playing second fiddle to a man that isn't fit to shine your boots. That's final. Well, how are you going to prevent it, spitfire? If you do I'll not marry you. Threatening me, eh? Don't you realize none of my clan has ever been driven? She dodged that terse thrust. Ill compromise with you. Be nice to the Forlorn Valleyites, If you wish, but smash Rnbson. I want him smashed, she added with quiet vehemence. But If I humor you, little wildcat, I'll have to smash tlie Bank of Valley Center, and when the hank's smashed all the depositors will be smashed with it. You don't truly love me," she chided him, petulantly. I can give up my love. I've lived twenty-nin- e years without it and I can live some more. Again she put her arms around him and drew his face down to hers. "Why, we're feuding again, sweetheart, she murmured softly. Have It your own I'd rather have you than the way. scalp of Silas Babson" and she sealed that pronouncement with kisses. You win, Lorry. You can lead a mule to water but you cant make him drink.
