'r'ljome The orange recently came in for a careful investigation particularly along these lines by Martha S. Pitman, division of home economies, Kansas State Agricultural college. California seedless naval oranges were used in small, medium and large sizes the object being to see what size of orange and what method of preparation would result in the least possible waste of the valuable juices. The results were very interesting and well worth passing on to the housewife, for it was learned that medium and small oranges are just as good in every way as the large sizes, and especially efficient for juice uses. As smaller oranges are particularly plentiful this year, they are selling at very pleasing prices to the "It's a Plant," Ha Said. "Ride Hard." consumer.

Bangs was the first to change mounts. The boy's physical qualifications were as sound as his mental ability was limited and it was bis pride to have a string of mounts that included the worst horses In the lot He rode from the corral on Blue, holding the big roan steady, and headed up the ridge a mile below where Harris and the girl had come down. Rile Fostes chose the next; five riders were but a few Jamps behind. . Harris did not change horses bat searched hastily In his war bag and slipped the strap of a binocular ease across his shoulders and rode off with the girl as she finished cinching her saddle on a fresh horse. In less than five minutes from the time she had reached the wagon the last Three Bar man had mounted and gone. Harris rode with her up a long ridge that led up to the divide; they followed another Into the next bottoms and ascended the second divide. This was sharp and rocky, its crest a maze of ragged pinnacles. He chose the highest of these and dismounted to sweep the range with his glasses. The high point afforded a view of every ridge for miles. After perhaps half an hour Harris caught five horse men In the field of his glasses. They were riding in a knot "They've picked up his trail," he said. "But he'll have too long a lead. We might as well be going." They mounted and headed to the right along the divide. "If RUe Is In sight we can wait for "And ' see If he's him," he said. picked up any tracks." A along the ridge they saw Foster off through the breaks and he was working back their way. tThanks, Blllie," Harris said. "For losing a circle trying to run him half-mil- e down." Td have done as much for any Three Bar man," Bhe returned. "Of course," he said. Td have expected that But all the same It shows that I'm progressing. Maybe my good qualities will grow on you until you get to thinking right well of me." They waited till Foster joined them on the ridge. "Bangs crossed over a mile below," Rile said. "We might pick him up." "Any sign?" Harris asked as they moved down the divide. "A bunch of shod horses went down through there a few days back," Rile said. "Three or four men likely, with a few pack horses along. He's pulled out" "I saw him," Harris said. "He's gone." They stopped in the saddle of the ridge where a fresh track showed the spot Bangs had crossed. The girl was looking at Harris and saw a sudden pallor travel up under his tan and as she turned to see what had occasioned it he crowded his horse against her own. "Don't look !" he ordered, and forced her horse over the far side of the ridge. "You'd better ride on back to the wagon," he urged. "There's been some sort of doings over across. Rile and I will ride down and look into It" Without a word she turned her horse toward the wagon. "It's God's mercy she didn't see," Harris said, as the two crossed back over the ridge. "Isn't that a h 1 of a way for a man to die?" But the girl had seen. Her one brief look had revealed a horse coming round a bend In a little box canyon below. A shapeless thing dragged from one stirrup and at every third or fourth Jump the big blue horse d the limp bundle with his heels. As the two men reached the bottoms the frenzied horse had stopped and was fighting to free himself of the thing that followed him. He moved away from it In a circle but it was always with him. He squealed and kicked It, then dashed off in a fresh side-slashe- his pursuer. panic, Harris' rope tightened on his neck and threw him. As he rolled over Foster's noose snared both hind feet and he was held stretched and helpless between two trained cow horses while the men disengaged the bundle side-swipin- g that had once been Bangs. One boot heel was missing and his foot was Jammed through the stirrup, evidence that the horse had pitched with him and the loosened heel had come off, allowing his foot to slip through as he was thrown. Harris pointed to a burnt red streak across the right side of Bangs' neck. He unbuttoned his shirt and revealed a similar streak under his left armpit Old Rile cursed horribly and his face seemed to have aged ten years. "They learned that from the albino," he said. "It's an old trick that always works. They dropped a rope on him and Jerked him, pried off his heel, shoved his boot through and laid the quirt on his horse.
