tne sky in the east was lowly reddening while the branches of the trees swayed slowly to and fro with the breeze the swift mountain stream rushed on its way to the river under tne shadowing arm of a tall cliff a lonesome coyote broke out with his eerie howl and a dog at the ranch high among the hills an swered as an echo a timber wolf sent his challenging cry from the side or the mountain into the deep valley below while up on the mesa two cow boys were rounding up some horses early as it was there were already signs of activity in the barns and cor rals of the ranch among the hills which was commonly known as the lazy y a few oowboys were saddling their horses here and there a few men were walking to and from the barns when the breakfast hell sound ed the whole place seemed to uven up some cowboys made cheir way from the corrals to the bouse while others appeared as if by magic from the row of bunkhouses above the bams it was the signal that the day had be gun while the men nude their way to the house there was a discussion tak ing place inside the walls between hippy commonly called old jake he owner of the lazy y and his son tun a strapping ana bronzed youth of seventeen old jake glared disap provingly at tim while the latter looked his father square in the eye jake said so yuh think that them steers ought tun he sold right naow do yuh dont yuh think thet i kin tell when theys ready tuh sell do youh think thet yuh know more about cattleraisin then your ole dad tun answered quietly no dad we all know that you are the best cattle- raiser in this here valley but dad listen here if you want to get any profit out of them steers at all youll have to sell them right away because the freight rate is rata right along itl soon be so hign that youll get no profit at all cant you see it dad jake became absoroed in thought mebbe he said meobe ni think it over say tinvhave you seed ole thunder lately i heerd reports thet hes around again thets some hoss black as

the ridge he belongs tuh them yuh know it made tims eyes shine when he thought about the big black horse known all over the valley as thunder three years before he was first seen by white man he was then a year- old colt owned by a small tribe of ree indians where they acquired him nobody ever knew the only thing that anybody did know about thunder was that he had been broken by old ree indian when he was two years old then he had not yet developed into his full she but was just a com man pony that the old indian delight ed in then one day when ipunder was about two and a half years old he was kidnapped try a gang of horse- rustlers and their cruel bits and sharp spurs made an outlaw of him a man fearing beast that would have abso lutely nothing to do with anything human thunder escaped from these rustlers and then began a career that was spoken of throughout the bitter sweet valley he seemed to develop a mind as accomplished as a humans many a time had thunder been a common horse he would hye been captured but through his cleverness and speed he outwitted his wouldbe captors one day about a week after this talk jake went to town to aee about selling a certain herd of steers while on his way he came across the of ree indians that had been seen on the ridge- he thought that he would aee about buying thunder so when he came to a few old men he stopped one stood up and asked what you want jake said howdy strangers i was awonderin if youalld sell thet out law hoes you own i thought id kind a like tuh have im mebbe i cant bust 1m but i want tuh try the standing indian said me no savvy englls at the same time push ing a younger indian forward this one seemed to understand english so jake repeated his statement the in dlan said you no break thunder wei no sell we keep jake

so old jake offered him four hundred dollars and the old indian looked up m astonish- it- m7 vkx in vain after he had thoroughky combed most of the valleys he stopor ed for limch- there was not much chance that thunder was near be cause all of trie main valleys had been searched then tim suddenly re membered that there was one place where he rnught be in one of the corners f the lazy y ranch there was a very narrow canyon at one end completely closed while at the other erfl it broadened out until it was lost in the large bittersweet valley itself at the upper end of this narrow val ley were tany springs and- much green grass long lost horses bad often been found in this place and tun thought that probably thunder was there as soon as he had finished his lunch he rode toward the valley it was only a few miles front the ranch house ana bams but from the palce where tun ate his lunch it wad all of ftfteen tntles he therefore did hot reach the bottom of the vallerflhth the mldafo or the afternoon as soon as he had entered h and the sides became closer his keen eyes watched far signs of horses e neither heard nor jijo anything- until he reached thupperrnobt part here hisrkeeh gaze picked rip some fresh tracks and after following them for abbot a suarter of a mile he found himself lose to the- end of the canyon he decided to betve his horse- and pro ceed on foot after going almost to the end he heard some splashing of water and cropping of grass doing to a huge boulder very quietly and peeping around h he knew his hopes were rewarded for near by were a few horses slowly eating and up far ther a large and powerfully built horse wiui a shuung black coat was quietly drinking at one of the clear shimmering pools tim was certain that this horse was thunder afer debating with himcif as to what to do he decided to leave very quietly and come back on the mor row feeling sure that the horses would stay- in the same place as il was a one grazing place and well bid den with a last longing look at thunder he went back to his home thinking about means to win the out laws oonndesice on returning home tim cared for his horse and then proceeded to the house where the ranch hands were already busy eating tim entered by the back door and went to the table after washing the sweat and dust off his face nobody asked him any questions after supper when he was alone with his father he said that he had found thunder is thet so answered jake well im agouv tuh git dave harris to see haow he kin stick tuh ole thunders back dave harris was the best bronco- buster in trie country tim did not say anything for he knew that if he should tell his father that he was going to try to tame thunder with kindness he would be just laughed at the next morning old jake went after harris and brought him back just before dinner time harris was a powerfully built man and very tall standing sue feet six inches in his stocking feet he had been known to stick to the worst bucker in the val ley and jake was confident that if thunder could only be caught harris could break him directly after dinner three horses were saddled and jake harris and tim rode off to the narrow canyon when they arrived near the place where the horses had men- the day before they dismounted and went the rest of the way on foot jake harris taking their lariats tim now led the way and the other two men kept at his heels they soon came to the boulder where tun had looked the day before when they cautiously looked round the side there was old thunder near by peacefully eating grass old jake and harris shook out their ropes and slowly crept forward round thteboulder harris started for ward running whirling his lariat above his head as he ran thunder almost instantly heard him he whirled held his head way up and whistled as harris came within rop ing distance instantly the colls shot out settled over the big blacks shoulders and pulled tight thunder jumped and tried to get away but harris already had a turn of his rope around a solid rock and held him old jake bn the meantime had run clear round the horse and roped hlm from the opposite side thundet was caught i while all this had been going on tim had been busy thinking he knew that if harris should succeed in getting a saddle on thunder and start riding him he would surely be thrown and then thunder would be worse than ever before besides he did not like the idea of having thun der cruelly treated oy i a hard rider as dave harris so when jake and the broncobuster were ready to throw atie saddle on tun jumped from behind the boulder and snouted walt a minute the two men look ed up wonderlngly at tun and asked what was the matter wont you wait awhile and let me have a chance at old thunder for a couple of months ive got an idea thai will work better than yours youll let me wont you dad not on your life exploded harris weve got lm now an we calnt let this chance go by old jake held the same view as harris were gain tuh try tuh break 1m in right now son you calnt do it youd better gi up your suly notions but tim was firm as the two men started to pick up the saddle a sudden look of determination came into his face without a word he turned as if to walk off but suddenly swerved toward the horse and whipp ed out his knife jake and harris were busy with the saddle and did not see what tim was doing with two swift slashes of his knife he cut the ropes holding thunder and then jumped out of the way thunder leaped to tils feet snorting and broke into a swift gallop up the canyon jake and harris whirled bearing the swift gallop of a horse what they saw was thunder going up the can yon at breakneck speed and tim hold ing an open knife in his hand you let lm lose didnt yuh shouted harris with an angry face tuns lace was white but he look ed the two men square in the eye yes he said 1 lrnow i let lm loose but i did what i thought was right i couldnt have thundef hurt by you the next day old jake and harris went back to the canyon again to catch thunder but in vain he was -on- his guard au the time after a week of unsuccessful try ing harris left the liury y and old jake settled into his usual routine of work again he and tun were not on the best of terms- after the lncl- denvwitttnunaerrrletrl that if thunder was never broken thn could be blamed many of the ranch bands also jeered at thn but in spite of this he remained firm tim did not returnto thajca for about a week but then one when tlisrwas not much work be deeueol tot ee if thunder was stiff ttere he wept on when hta father was no around nadnde hardautbe f j y way he had a few lumps cf sugar in fils pocket tim leaped off his horse and left him near a spring then he saunterea slowly up the bed or the canyon thunaer was almost in the samejplace as a week before he saw tim alrnost instantly but did not move tim slowly sept on coo ing a soft tender whistle the beau tiful horse looked on with interest but would not let the boy come within thirty feet of him he saw that tun had no rope with him and therefore feared no harm from that quarter but lie feared all mankind and al though the oy looked kind enough he did not trust him after trying w vain to get closer to the home tim left for home he was not entirely discouraged forthe horse seemed to show intererst tim kept onperseveringly and- his work showed fruit w at tne end of two weeks ot patient effort thunder licked a little sugar from bis hand what- a thrill went through his body when he felt the- soft lips of the won derful animal touch the palm of his hand it showed that thunder was beginning to trust hlnvand tun felt sure that u he should continue with his patient work he would reach his goal at the end of another week thun der allowed tim to caress mnaaround his head and a few days later tim was not afraid to stand at his heels at last when five weeks had passed from the time when thunder had eaten sugar fromhls band for the first time tim made up his mind to try to ride him two weeks before he had put on the bridle and by this tune thunder was quite used to it so one morning tim rode to the canyon and leaving his horse near a spring took the saddle and bridle and went to thunder the noble horse was as ubixal waiting for him first of all tim petted him and then gave him some oats after giving him plenty of time to eat tun put the bridle on and led urn around a little as soon as thunder was cooled down he lied him to a rock about three feet high and climbed iu prom there he first patted thunders strong back and then eased himself gently on it the horse took a couple of awful jumps nearly throwing tun but then calmed down when tim spoke quietly and re assuringly the noble horse knew that tim would not hurt him but when tint slipped on hisjhack he remem bered the old feelrngol a rider ex pecting the sharp pains of spurs digg ing into his flanks he jumped but the soft quiet words of tim brought him to himself again and he stopped tim was his master now there was yet one thing that tim wanted to do before his happi ness would be complete this was riding his prized possession in the presence of his father tim now being the master put the saddle on very gently thunder stood perfectly quiet then after cinch ing the saddle tim swung up lightly and started boon he was swinging downthe bottom of the canyon in a highlope his horses head proudly up he stopped where he had left his other horse turned him loose and again swept down the canyon just as the ranch hands had re turned from their work and were mak ing their way to the house they heard the rhythmic beating of the hoofs of a galloping horse old jake heard it too and he came runnings outside wondering what horse it might be he saw a halfmile to the west a black horse with a rider going like the wind they rapidly came closer no one recognized either horse or rider they soon thundered past the bams and swept like a whirlwind to ward the house the old jake and the men saw with astonishment that the horse was thunder and the rider tun hippy thunder and tim kept on untu almost on top of the men when bhey came to a sudden stop nobody said anything after a few minutes tun broke the stillness by saying dad ive got lm old jake answered with tears in his eyes yes son youve got lm you knew haow to bust ole ttiunder thunder is yours tims victory was complete i vacationing bail to summer and to the wide green outofdoors i nothing so invites he workweary soul as the shady trees green fields and ahlrung

on wednesday last had a line editorial entitled buy at home from which we quote a citizen pointed out the- other day that the progress of any citizen de pended largely on the loyajlty of the people to home institutions in other words that munlciparltleb in which the citizens as a whole made it a practice to patronize local merchants and industry in place of going out of town for their requirements were the ones that forged ahead and were most likely to get back to normal- times swiftly the merchantfi are the back bone at a citys existence if they are pros pering the fact is quickly reflected in increasing prosperity of the citizen ship every dollars worth of goods you purchase at home is promoting the advancement of duelph business aixd indirectly helping yourself and your city back to the era of pros- pertty to which we confidently look forward citizens should become aware of the importance of buying goods at home of giving preference to commo dities manufactured in its own fac tories and the products of district farms it would be a splendid thing if thepebpel of ouelph would con fine their buying activities to local stores and when they start out to do their shopping insist on being served with products of home industry if the articles they are in need of are produced in local factories ouelph manufacturers are divei-si- fled local factories turn out high quality goods that should find their way in greater volume into ouelph homes home rnanufactured mer chandise should receive the preference every tune patronizing local mer chants and ifftlng on being served with the goods bearing a ouelph trade mark should be made governing fac tors in shopping by ouelph buyers by absorbing a larger volume of the output of our factries we decrease the demand provide more work for oueipfa labor and help to keep our factories operating when all is said and done it is the cooperation of the average buyers which encourages production pro motes business and which will even tually be one of the biggest factors in bringing back the prosperity for which we are so anxiously hoping not for many years has the dollar had trie buying power that it has to day prices are about rock bottom ouelph citizens by giving their business as far as possible to ouelph stores and by giving preference to home manufactures whenever there is an oppontunity are doing their part in the drive for their citys prosperl- ty this is auvrery fine and true but what does the mercury do it in vades the towns and villages of its oounty and other counties and in- vites the people of these towns and villages and the farmers of the whole district to leave their local merchants manufacturers and deaij lers nd come to ouelph and sliopv and so add to the prosperity of the city not only that but it spreads the special advertising issue of that date broadcast and tnt the buying public from their home towns the editorial books lous in that issue particularly we hope that people would take its ad
