His drumming drum-ming heart beat the tidings that be wanted this lovely girl, so quick and vibrant with life, so passionately desirous of the fine things it had to offer wanted to take her for his mate and spend the years of his life beside her. Yet be knew It could not be. There was a chasm between him and her that could not be bridged. "Yes. I understand that too. It's the only way you could feel. But . . .

I've thought a heap about that an' you sayln' It was thataway with our lives, too. It's so. . . .

"Yes, it's tough like the bisnaga and the cbolla and the prickly pear," she agreed. "Nature gives hooks an' barbs an' saw-edged teeth to those of her chil-dred chil-dred that need 'em. A mule-deer learns to go a coupla weeks without with-out water. Same way with prairie dogs an' coyotes. If they couldn't stand thirst they wouldn't last long. No different with us. We've got to meet tbe conditions. But there's something born in us that stays with us. Even when we get tough as leather we're all right inside, maybe. On the dry desert things take a long time to rot I've seen mighty tough citizens who bad clean hearts when once you got to them." fie laughed at himself. "I'm not gettin' anywhere, but you know what I mean." "Yes, I do," she told him. "And it's true. They call Mr. Stone a killer, but I'd trust him anywhere. But I wouldn't trust that Gltner." "No, you're right about Gltner. He belongs to the lobo family, I reckon. Well, I'll be movin' along." "1 don't think you belong to the lobo family, Mr. McCann," sbe told him Impulsively.

The sun was Just peeping over the ridge when McCann threw the diamond dia-mond bitch with the lash rope. It was possible, though not probable, that at any time they might jump up the rustlers driving stolen cattle. Wherefore they rode warily, following follow-ing ridges where they could so that they could sweep with their eyes as much territory as was feasible. Guadaloup canyon opened before them after an hour or two of travel. Precipitous walls shut them into a defile, narrow and tortuous, up which they moved In single file. The soli was a red clay formation. Loose rocks strewed the floorway of tbe gorge, flung down ages ago from the heights above. . The trailers dismounted and stud-led stud-led the ground. Sure enough there had been cattle here and recently. Prints of horses' hoofs showed that they had been driven and had not strayed there by chance. This they already knew, by the testimony of the cowpuncher Red. They followed the gulch for several sev-eral miles. The walls opened out so that the sun beat down upon the riders and baked them. There was no shade. The only vegetation showing was the creosote clinging to the rocks. Even this was scarce and stunted. A bend in the canyon brought them to a clump of small pines. A spring emerged from a fissure in the red stone strata. Wilson stopped the other rider. "Hold on I Let's have a look before we mess up any tracks that may be here." " They swung down' and grounded the reins of the horses. - Through the red sand ran half a dozen tracks of side-winders. The men moved forward slowly to the damp soil surrounding the spring. What Wilson was looking for he found. His finger pointed out a heel mark. The boot was evidently evi-dently much run over on the outside and the heel badly worn. The print of the same foot was stamped also in another moist spot below the spring. It bad been made by a very large boot "Some folks are right careless," McCann said. "Sure are. Fellow who stomped that track is a considerable sized guy. He had ought to be careful where he writes his signature." "If he knows what's good for him he'll write It in Mexico muy pronto." "Looks like he's near the end of bis trail here. Now we're on to him hell not last long, I'd say. They must be bolln' up near here." "Not so far away." Wilson spoke apparently without stress. "Gltner knows these mountains pretty well, I expect" "You think It's Gltner." Phil was startled, though the words voiced a fear that bad been In his own mind. "Looks thataway. You know Gitner's big feet an' how his boots are always run over at the heel." The boy made no answer. A disturbing dis-turbing thought bad found lodgment lodg-ment In bis mind, one so full of 111 omen that tbe muscles beneath his heart seemed to have given way. If Gitner was one of the rustlers and he no longer doubted it for a moment mo-ment scant as. was the evidence at hand was Jasper also one of them? The th6ught of It shook his courage. There was nothing admirable In bis brother, nothing that as a boy he could look up to as an example. But It was a long step from worthless-ness worthless-ness to cattle thieving. Almost the worst crime on the docket In the border land is rustling. It gave him a shock to face the possibility that his father's son might be guilty of it. It was precisely because of this that Wilson had mentioned Gitner's name. If the boy had to meet such a facer it was better that he should have time to reflect upon It first "This Isn't yore Job, Phil," the older man said presently. "You ride home an' tell Jim Yerby an' Dave Stone to meet me at the mouth of the canyon In two days. grove of live oaks festooned with great clumps of mistletoe, and as they still climbed upward pines were silhouetted against the skyline. sky-line. They camped far up In the hills, choosing for the location a small park where grass grew In place of burrow-weed. The very sky had changed its character. It had become be-come more live, much nearer, a deeper blue. The tang of the pines was In the wlney air. Phil chopped fuel and built a fire while bis companion undid the lash rope and removed the cross buck from the pack horse, picketed the animals, and brought water from the spring. After supper they smoked a pipe and chatted. We'd ought to. reach Guadaloup by nine o'clock, wouldn't you say?" Phil murmured sleepily, bis head pillowed pil-lowed on the most comfortable spot of his saddle. very far with the boy. "Feelin' real cock-a-doodle-do, ain't you? I'm not claimln' to be high, low, Jack, and the game, but I'm some older than you. Seems to me it's my say-so." "Afraid I won't keep' my end up, so you want me to turn in my string of horses?" Phil asked, using the figure of speech of the puncher on the trail. "No, sir, not a bit afraid of that I've a notion you'd go through from h L to breakfast. But like I said, this Gitner's a lead pumper. He'll have four-five fellows with him, all of 'em tough nuts to crack. My notion is for you to go back an' pick op some of the boys say Curt Qulnn an' Stone an' Yerby an' my riders passed, through a splendid j ril stick around an' do some scout- In' till tney come.- Phll looked him straight In the eye. "It's my Job much as it is yours. If you thought it was my job yesterday, what makes you say today it's not? Nothing has changed, far as I can see." They were both thinking of the same thing, that one of the men whose trail they were following might be Jasper Stark. But Wilson could not refer to his fears any more than the boy could, except indirectly in-directly when they mentioned the name of the blgTexaa He evaded. "This is liable to be a bleeer task than I had figured. If we meet up with Gltner hell go to chnttn' snre. I reckon we neea more help." -All risht" agreed Phil calmly. "You go get it an' I'll scout around n' wait for you." ileCann's bmwn white-toothed mile flashed. He was not getting "Afraid I Won't Keep My End Up; So You Want Me to Turn In My String of Horses?" brother Lyn. You'll be back in two days if you're so h 1-bent on beln' In this and we'll sure round up these birds an' tell 'em what for." "That wasn't yore notion when we started. This was to be a scoutln' party to cut the trail of these rustlers an' report what we found out." "Sure enough. But we're hot on the trail of these gents. We're liable li-able to catch 'em with the goods. If so, we had ought to make our gather gath-er right then. Otherwise they'll probably hive off to parts unknown. We're not enough to handle this Job. you an' me. I was flgurln' on run-nln' run-nln' down two-three Mexicans, maybe. may-be. Ginter's another proposition, an hombre of quite a different color. He packs his guns low an' comes a-foggln'." "Someone has already mentioned that to me," the boy said quietly. "Tell Miss Julia that we think Gitner is the man we're after." Phil read bis mind as though It had been a one-syllable primer. McCann Mc-Cann believed that If he mentioned Gitner as the probable chief of the rustlers to Julia she would contrive some excuse to prevent her brother broth-er from returning with the posse." "You can tell her that," Phil said. Tra stayin' rlgfit here." McCann rumpled his sunburnt hair and grinned. "You're some stubborn if anyone asks me. Boy. why don't you act like you had horse sense?" The upshot of It was that they both stayed. They decided to find out if they could where the outlaws out-laws were camped. Circumstances would have to decide whether they would attempt an arrest or go for help to round up the thieves.' They took a diagonal trail up the mountain side after they came to the end of Guadaloup canyon, for the hoof-prints, sharp edged and clean cut led that way. It came on to rain, a gentle mist that blurred the hills. Tbey put on their slickers and followed the dim trail until it lost itself in the rubble of a stony precipitous shoulder shoul-der hunched up above a deep gulch. As the "rain Increased the pines and the scrub oaks began to shower them with baths of moisture when they pushed too close. The tracks of the cattle were blotted out "Our luck's not standing up," Wilson said. "I wonder wnicn way the'y drove those brush-splitters from here. Phil cast back Into his memory. "When I was a kid uaa nrougni us up here hunting. We stayed a week, the four of us. Nick Rafferty an' Jule were the other two. Our camp was in a wooded park back of a gulch you'd never know was there unless you stumbled on it Just for fun Jule called It Horse Thief park, because it would be such a dandy place for rustlers to bole up. If I could find it I recollect it's over to the southwest from this end of Guadaloup six or seven miles maybeor may-beor more, or less. They may not be camped there of course. But there was an old cabin some prospectors pros-pectors built an' the grass was eood. Plenty of water, too." TO B CONTINUED.I Br C. J. MAUPIN. Poultry Extension Specialist, North Carolina Stat Colle. WNU Sarvlca. When green feed is added as a supplement to the regular poultry ration, the birds grow better and lay more eggs. All the vitamins essential for growth and health can be made available if a variety of green feed is used. Legumes and the tender green crops of the garden are all rich in vitamins and food for poultry. Alfalfa, Al-falfa, clovers, lespedeza, rape, soybeans, soy-beans, lettuce, tender cabbage, col-lards, col-lards, kale, and young oats, wheat barley or rye are some of the crops liked by poultry and valuable to them In developing growth and increasing in-creasing egg production. We have found that young lettuce, for Instance, In-stance, has cured a run-down condition con-dition in hens. Green alfalfa, fed liberally, has been reported as checking the deaths of poultry due to poor feeding. Where the birds are given white corn, they need the food properties found in legumes and other green stuff. I recommend curing some legume hay for the birds to feed upon In pinter. Well-cured alfalfa, clover or lespedeza hay is very valuable. This . hay should be cured bright green In color, with no rain allowed to fall on it during the curing process. proc-ess. .

Battery Brooding Not by Any Means Perfect Battery brooding has attracted many to broiler production, as very little experience is required In this work. The difficulty with it Is that the feathering of the birds so handled han-dled Is often poor, top market prices being seldom obtained for the broilers for that reason. In addition addi-tion to poor feathering, the birds have soft meat and the shrinkage In body weight on express shipments is a loss. When birds are to be killed at the farm, battery rearing Is desirable, but If live-weight shipments ship-ments are to be made It should not be followed, according to the New Jersey experiment station. A combination . of battery and floor brooding Is said to be desirable, as practically all of the advantages of both systems can be utilized. By using the battery brooders for the first four weeks the details of early chick brooding are eliminated, and then the growth Is finished on the floor. The heating and feeding of birds after the fourth week Is a simple matter compared with the attention these Items require dur ing the early period of growth. Chick Feeding Notes Cup fiats used for packing eggs in cases make excellent hoppers for chicks during the first week after they are hatched, the uneven surface sur-face of the cup flats holding the mash and reducing the amount of waste. ... Water fountains for the chicks should be so constructed that they may be easily cleaned and not np-set np-set The most satisfactory fountain for the first ten days Is the earth enware bell Jar wih the flower pot saucer, a type of fountain suitable for 100 chicks. Large metal foun tains should be used when the chicks are four weeks old. The piping of water to the range and the Installation of automatic fountains will reduce labor and young stock will be assured of a constant supply of fresh water.
