Old Reuben Dale, their nelphhnr on the west, asked, "Any sign of mountain lions on your ranch this summer, McLaughlin? I've lost two calves out of the pasture on my place down near your Castle Rock Meadow, and I've got a notion it's a lion. Bert heerd a cat scream the other night when he went out to bring the cows in." "Cats," said McLaughlin slowly. 'No. I haven't seen anv. Havon'f heard any either, but I think I'm short a colt" "They , love horse meat." said Reuben, grinning. As Ken and his father left the store with the mail and the yeast and tobacco and three lollipops and a peppermint patty for Nell. Ken looked up at his father. "What colt Dad?" McLaughlin didn't answer, and they got into the car. Ken asked again, "What colt are we short?" "Rocket's. I think she had a foal. She hasn't got it now. Before I drive her out of the Stable Pasture, I'm going down to Castle Rock Meadow to take a look around." Ken felt excited. He thoueht of the aspen grove, of Castle Rock, as Dig as a Hotel, with all the caverns and passages and tunnels under- of blather Humanity of all ages packed it from floor to roof, and poured out when the door opened neath it, and the skeletons and bones that lay in . them. Wildcats-McLaughlin Wildcats-McLaughlin was driving a little faster. .Kennie glanced at him and saw that he had something of his hard angry look. His father was worried. "What gun will you take, Dad?" McLaughlin didn't answer for quite a long time, then said, "I'll take the Winchester. But I won't use it, Ken. The time you come on a ' wildcat is the time you haven't got your gun with you." The week that followed during which Ken was to choose his yearling year-ling was a busy one for everybody. It rained every day out of one big purple cloud which drifted away at night so that the mornings came in hot and clear, but by noon it was over the ranch again, and would start to rumble, then shiver and crack with lightning; then the downpour down-pour of rain, while the horizons all around were calm and blue, with fleecy white clouds motionless upon the hills. ,Nell called it the Goose Bar sprinkling sprin-kling system. It brought out the strong, fresh colors of the flowers; dark salmon geraniums in the ultramarine ultra-marine blue window boxes, and red, pink, purple and white petunias in the flower border. The roofs of the building were red and clean, with no dust on them, and the grass as green as a billiard table. The boys were riding Lady and Calico and Buck and Baldy, the horses that were being trained to rent for the Rodeo. "When you're hunting for Rocket and looking over the yearlings and chasing the geldings you might as well be training these plugs," said McLaughlin. "Which shall we ride?" asked Howard. McLaughlin, stretched out in a chair on the terrace with his pipe Just before supper, gave this careful care-ful thought "Now, let's see. Lady's nprvnus and she runs away. Went over backwards with Tim last week Baldy. stubborn brute, argues with hut he's always right More sense than a man. Calico, a run. ning fooL Never knows when to ston. Wears himself out Howard, you take Calico, and don't forget for a moment that he hasnt got sense. He'll be in a lather over nothing. Too willing. His mouth's hard. Don't encourage him to lean J ?l,"tuHttM him In but don't head. Talk to him a lot He 11 quiet down for the voice better than anything else. Ken, you take Lady. rm giving her to you because most of the time you don't know where you are. You sit like a sack of meal, almost forget to hold the reins-she'U not know you're on her back. I've noticed when you're on her, she's never gathered. Goes about as if she was grazing. It's a good thing.' Good for that mare, anyway. Eases her down. But watch out for her running away. Just don't let her get going too fast. When she does, it suddenly comes to her that she'll take the bit and run away; kind of goes to her head. I want to break her of that habit this summer. She's a fine horse." "I'll help with Lady too," said Nell. "She always behaves, well with me. I love to ride her. We understand each other." . "O.K. As a matter of fact you could ride any of them, and it would be a good thing to change about. Any of you could ride Buck and Baldy. No use telling you what to do with Baldy, he'll do what he pleases, but it'll usually be the right thing. He won't object to orders unless they're unreasonable. And Buck needs a lot of suppling and he's not as bridle-wise as he should be. Take them down into the practice field and do figure eights on them for an hour every other day. Just get them a bit quicker at answering the aids; more up and coming. Practice Prac-tice starts on the trot and the canter. can-ter. Use saddles. Groom them before be-fore and after.

Give them all the riding you can." A Colorado buyer, Joe Williams, came to see if McLaughlin had any horses to sell. He came once or twice every year, collecting horses that he afterwards sold at the local auctions; but the prices he offered were so low that his appearance at the ranch was always the signal for Rob McLaughlin to lose his temper. tem-per. Williams offered thirty-five or forty for-ty dollars for an old brood mare with her spring colt; twenty or thirty thir-ty for an old gelding broke for saddle and work provided his teeth were good enough to keep him in flesh; but as. he paid cash down, and the only other way of getting anything at all for horses that were not fit for good markets was to ship them to the glue factory in a carload car-load of old plugs and wild broncs dragged in off the range, McLaughlin, McLaugh-lin, after hours of argument, loud words and insults, usually made a deal with him. Nell always urged him to. "After alL" she said, "they're only getting older, and it's hard to keep them in condition, and he can get eight or ten of them into his truck, and even at his prices, that means a couple of hundred hun-dred dollars." On this occasion McLaughlin said that he'd get in some horses that were useless to him from his outlying out-lying pastures, and they'd make a deal; and Williams drove away, promising to be back inside of a week with his truck. The really big event of the week was that McLaughlin engaged a bronco-buster to break the three- year-olds. Ken saw the man first when they were coming down rrom ine sta bles just before supper one evening, eve-ning, and the bronco-buster was standing on the Green talking to Nell. He was very small and neat His legs were thin and bowed in tight blue jeans that were rubbed to light blue inside the thighs and on the seat His waist was not much larger than Ken's and was belted snug. His small face was bright red and blank- looking. His blue eyes were so direct di-rect they made other eyes seem shifty. Nell introduced him, just saying that this was Ross Buckley who was going to ride in the Rodeo and bad a couple of weeks of free time right now, waiting for the Rodeo, and thought he would put it in breaking some horses. "I heerd you-all had some hot- bloods up here," sam koss in a Dleasant drawling voice, "inougni va like to have a try at 'em, il you've got any that need breaking." Nell said, "Come on, Howard and Ken time to clean up for supper. and walked away with the boys, leaving McLaughlin there talking to Ross. Ross had arrived in a Ford sedan se-dan piled to the roof with saddles and bridles and blankets and lariats, and when Nell had talked to him and found out what he wanted, sne kept him there until McLaughlir came down from me aoies. MciLaughlin engaged him, and tool him up to the bunk house and introduced intro-duced him to Gus and Tim, and every ev-ery day since he had been workini in the corral at the broncs.

But we mustn't allgw those things to discourage us, to disrupt our lives. Kathleen Norris points out that the cure is to lift your spirit into higher, less personal, ess selfish self-ish zone. Instead of wanting safety, security and happiness for just the few persons you love, you must want them for the entire world. No matter what the personal cost, we must strive for the greater goal of peace, security and happiness for all. 4 W have to tak whatever circumstances this war imposes upon us. You ccn comfort your daughter, as she will you, and let At baby be comfort to both. By KATHLEEN NORRIS 'rTHE most terrible thing I about a war is being so fearful all the time," writes Mildred Wilson from St. Paul. "I have never been afraid in my life before, but now i am. i n consianuy anxious about my son and my son-in-law, both away on naval na-val duty. I'm sick with sym pathy and apprehension over my daughter, 23 years old, expecting ex-pecting her first baby, and breaking her heart over her husband's absence. I'm wor ried about my husband, for his is the furniture business, and people in our neighborhood are conserving con-serving what they have, not buying anything new! I have all the usual worries about rationing and the home table; my husband, like s many other men, likes chops and steaks . and roasts, . repeated end-; lessly, and we can't get them any more. A steak' and fried potatoes with coffee have composed his favorite fa-vorite meal for years; vegetables and sweets don't register at all. "I want to do all I can for the war effort, but with Phyllis baby coming, and my man home for three meals a day, I can't spare the time to become a nurses' aid or give eight hours every third day to Interceptor In-terceptor command. And so I worry, wor-ry, and I don't sleep, and that makes me a nervous, half-efficient sort of woman who shivers at the radio news, distrusts everyone who is conducting con-ducting this war, despairs of the world's future, to say nothing of America's, and altogether Is becoming becom-ing a burden on herself and every one else. I wouldn't write you," the letter ends, "if I didn't feel that thousands thou-sands of -other women, some of whom I know, are sinking into the same morass. Have you any suggestions sug-gestions as to the way out?" The way out my dear Mildred, is like a dose of castor oil. It takes a certain amount of courage to pour the nauseous stuff into the spoon, to open the mouth, and gulp the oily disgustingness down. But when your mind and soul are clogged and poi soned you have to take the equiva lent of this dose if you are to re cover. Become World Minded You know the cure, of course. It is to lift your spirit into a higher, less personal, less selfish zone. In stead of wanting safety, security. wealth, happiness for Just the few persons you love, you must learn to want them, and to work for them, for all the men and women of the world. We have to live In the world, in this strange little ball spinning in cosmic space, because there is nowhere no-where else to live. There has always al-ways been plenty oi' food and shelter for all the peoples of the world, but thousands of years ago rulers and kings and soldiers and even the prophets and priests of the Old Testament Tes-tament got off the beam, te use the expressive phrase, and things began to slip away from God's law, and get under the law of man. Civilization marched steadily ahead; houses were built food was refined, schools and hospitals and colleges sprang up everywhere; men learned to read. But alongside of all this, evil marched as wefl. Bloody wars, poverty, hunger were an tolerated tol-erated in their primitive degrees, and as those degrees developed, they became greater and more wide spread, too. Now, with the, new help that civilization civili-zation and, science give us. we have to go back those long weary centuries, centu-ries, and begin at the beginning again. We have to brace ourselves to feel that ne matter what the per sonal cost may be, it will be worth while if we emerge from this time tf darkness into a peace that truly God's peace. We have to take whatever circumstances this war imposes upon us, and wrench and hammer them Into happiness and serenity ana service, u tne two sailors that you Move don't come home again? you must comfort your daughter as she will you, and let the baby be a comfort to both. If meals in your house and mine come down to bowls of oatmeal and baked apples, then let us remember that whole nations have thrived and grown strong on just such simple fare. War Alters Everybody Every family you know will be affected by this world catastrophe. Every life that touches yours will be changed. With all the hope and glory of the months ahead sorrow and loss will strike too. Face it See yourself as a grain of sand on the great beach of the world; play your tiny part so gallantly that you will never hurt others with your own grief. And pray always." For w,e are going to want God's light on the peace to come. We are never going to feed the world, as the visionaries say, because that is impossible. im-possible. But perhaps we may humbly hum-bly help the war-torn world to reach that point where it can feed itself. Perhaps with seed and machinery and counsel and lowered tariffs and altered Immigration laws we can show the world that we really mean our offers of goodwilL Russia, China, Poland, middle-Europe, these countries are quite capable of feed ing themselves, after a few years of reconstruction, and after a hundred years of peace there need not be hunger or destitution anywhere. But we must have that century of peace! And it is only by strong and gen erous and wholly Impersonal think ing that we can even dream of it It will not mean our enforcing our ideas, even of various freedoms, anywhere. It will mean thai every nation is free to form Its own constitution con-stitution and adopt Its own style of government and that while mighty awakening China keeps an eye on the Orient and magnificent Russia and England and the Nordic countries coun-tries watch Europe, our men will return to an America so educated to the real possibilities of republican living that even their own beautiful country will have progressed far ahead of her own old Ideals. See it that way, as you go about wheeling the baby carriage or stand at the sink washing the eternal dishes. See yourself as one tiny unit amang the millions the millions of home-making women, and office- drudging men whs are resolving In then hearts that nothing but uni versal good shall come of this conflict, con-flict, whatever their personal agonies may be. Live a hundred . years ahead, when you and I will be dust: plan the world that the baby ef Phyl lis' baby win live In. Prayer Constantly Needed Prayer is tssentiaL It is as essential essen-tial today as air; we can't breathe without it Don't specialize In prayer; "bring Harry home safe and have Phyllis' baby a boy and have Papa get that big government order."
