been pine cone lodge for a week he began to have a letdown sensation mingled with uneasy long ings for his mother and the familiar little oat and when he contemplat ed the fact that he was expected to remain in the mountains for at least two months the outlook was not at all rosy things were not quite sd nice as they sounded he had not wanted to leave home school and friends but that doctor he muttered resentfully could talk a leg off a horse- it was plain silly to say he would get sick if he stayed longer iff the loaangeles climate and it was hard on his mother to have to pay seventyfive dollars a month out of her salary just for him if his rather had lived be looked at himself cirtically in the small mirror a fat pasty four teenyearold boy with dark circles under the dull eyes stared back at him lugubriously not even the high hat the gay red handkerchief and the new sheath knife could disguise the surplus flesh he leaned down and fingered a dent on his new putties birthday presents if he hadnt had oh the putts when that horse kicked htm hed have been hurt after all it wasnt so bad to be where real cow boys lived and to learn to ride and rope and the guide at the resort had promised to teach him to shoot steps crunched outside his cabin door a hateful elderly voice shouted to mm hey willie stevens says to tell you your steed awaits i the steps crackled past bui pushed aside the window curtain and glared angrily a short middleaged man chuckling as he walked glanced back and waved derisively a case of golf clubs dangled from his shoulder darn i grumbled bui realizing anew that old stlnson was the fly in the pudding what if he was a rich retired cattle man up here for asthma why did he have to call him willie and pes ter him and make fun of his new hat and the way he rode before the hotel guests tool a fellow had to learn some time and the fact that the old man knew everything and was sick and tired of riding all bis life was no reason he had to go and make some one elses life miserable bui had done a bit of academy rid ing and thought he knew quite a lot until he arrived at pine oone lodge then he found he had merely scratch ed the surface of knowledge of horses how he loved everything about a horse he dreamed ef becoming so expert that he could ride up to any cow outfit and get a good job the first time he went riding with stevens the guide old minson ac companied him and made fun of me way he held his reins stevens didnt make fun and dub him a maiforder cowboy he taught film how a real covpuncher got on and on and let him jump his pony over ditches and dead logs but old hateful as bui had privately named mr stlnson was f making some rasplm horrible comment that day out on the tiny golf course which waa really part of the horse and cattle pasture when jack the barn man had sent him to run in the saddle horses old stlnson had yelled so he could be beard a mile hey tatty watch out they dont bite you on the ear in short it seemed to bui that be couldnt sneeae without hatefula flmging a sneer at him what was worse old stbasod could tell the most fascinating tales he ever inserted to about the early days on the range stories of roumrp- ups of cattle thieves- and of narrow the hero- worshipping boy would edge in closer and closer those cool evenings about the great lobby fire and drink in every word until rudelyyanked back to reality by some sarcastic remark hurled at him by the old cattleman these stabs so clever ly phrased always got a laugh at the fat boys expense and it was so unfair i a decent young fellow couldnt snap back and say what he thought to an old sick man all he could do was grin like a gentleman and bear it the times when he rode alone with stevens or with jack were the best he drank in their equestrian wisdom copied them f althfuuy and tried hard to please so eager was he to learn so anxious to help that gradually they came to trust htm and allowed tatm many little privileges to them there waa no particular pleasure in catching designated saddle horses or in leading them from the bam a quarteroojle away to the lodge but to bui it was allabsorbing hunrdng in the cows was a chore for the barn man to bui it was a treat that mean cow which dodged in and out among the trees and brush was a tiresome fiend to jack but how bui loved to chase her on his old cow pony i he genuine ly uved in those moments when ordn- go his horse flattened his eats to his head and raced that cow to some particular bit of scratchy chaparral sweetest of all were the words of grunted praise tossed him by jack jack was famed as a hunter of game a dead shot a man who could rope the pack one who knew endless wood lore as a reward for his help jack taught him to rope with his meagre al lowance bui managed to buy a reata he practiced on the calves and psnv unffi they knew him by sight jthef 1 started on the saddle horses stevens wondered audibly and force fully just why they were becoming so ropeshy and hard ibs catch bill took the hint meekly for a while posts had to satisfy he waa acquir ing quite a knack with the hemp and longed for rfewwords to conquer the camp dogs did not appreciate bis talent and fled wkdy at sight of hta one day a month after his arrival cash reywas who dved in one of the western counties of maine has the reputation of being the most ar tistic liarfor many miles around the stories that he told writes a corres pondent were never vicious and never injured anyone but they were cer- tainly remarkable his friends were iiu hls-lcy- evurat wna would- be more like a real ranch as it was every lime he had successfully imagined he was a cowpuncsietf and had become pleasantly- lost in a good exciting daydream old hateful would bob along and puncture it making him comprehend afresh that he was only a fattlah boy pretending he was a ranchman one afternoon he was out behind the barn on his horse nractrcirjg with his rope galloping at full speed past a hitching post he would lasso it as when ire managed to whirl his loop over it three times out of ave bill waa pretending the post was a running steer and that he was a cowpuncher the last time as he snared the post he whoopedtexultantly qot you that time you ole devil a voice cackled watch out wil lie its on the prod he reined his horse in with a jerk painful flush crept over his cheeks tion youre all right oddly enough bill conceived for his driedup elderly man a sudden lik ing oone was the memory of the- the sarcastic jibes after all he man was sickly and hod his troubles oh hutt all right b1u replied shyly it was the most embarrassing moment of his life a fleeting impulse to crow over this man vanished he did not know what to sayt the silence was broken by mr stln- son see here bin i own a big cattle ranch down south- from here a real honest hemans ranch howd you like to spend a year there rve got a fellow managing the place that likes boys and you ride all you want shoot all you want rope ail you want oxen still used on farm slave cleared century ago asthma and leavef then the resort there wont be any makebelieve about ended with ah odd note of pleading but bui- could only gulp and gulp his shining adoring eyes spoke for him a single hesitation that dashed through his mind was answered and bui the man continued i guess a years vacation on that same ranch with pay wouldnt damage your mother any either would it bui found his tongue and spoke in ecstasy i should aary not an artistic liar a century has passed since george johnson colo slave on a virginia plantation rebelled against his lot and fled through the night to the canadian border twice he was shot at as he swam the lower niagara river but he fearlessly continued to the township of nassagaweyk near campbellylue there he slashed a clearing hewed timbers for a cabin and married am bition fired by his newfound freedom he soon had the 300 asked by the government for a 600acce estate eleven children were bom and bhe pioneer had to drive his oxen ealjo the little cares any of it- like to go the speech and jat to assure them food and stevens gave him a close acrutuay to the boy tirfffc mm by the shoulder and iparcfc i oouldnt even let him play down here for the first tmu bill forgot his manners huh he snarled youre on ole blowhard ill bet you couldnt rope a dead dog a subtle change came over the man porgotten pride of aoxnopnshtnent rose and vanquished prudence cant eh i he snorted just hop off that horse of yours wuile boy and ill show you something not knowing why bill obeyed won- dertngly and resentfully the little man flung down his golf clubs length ened bills stirrups mounted spryly and coued the lariat as he worked he talked see those cows down there bui saw a few hundred yards be low the barn grazed the milch cows with them were several beef steers and a twoyearold bull the bull was new to the place and very sus picious and had caused bill a lot of trouble the previous night to corral running and dodging like a wild thing well said the excattleman tin going to rope that young bull out there by his forefeet axid hogtle him it wont be a record because im not so young as i once was hut ltfl be the quickest performance you ever saw bui sneered but his sneer was lost on oringos rider who was off at an easy canter the bull saw him com ing and started for the brush at a gallop the cattleman had been nearer right than he thought what follow ed was the quickest performance the boy had ever seen bui hadnt dream ed old gringo could be so speedy or that a mere hempen loop could be managed so surely and adroitly the young bull never had a chance be fore bui could exhale the breath he was holding the creature was thum-v- ing the ground firmly roped by his front feet and gringo was sagging back holding the bull wbue his rider ran forward and securely hogtied the prone animal bui ran down excitedly eyes bulg ing well i sure hand it to you mr stlnson he stuttered generously as further measure of admiration he added humbly i i wish youd teach me to do that but mr stlnson had gratified his own vanity the unaccustomed ex ertion was causing a such in hla side he felt irritated and futile and his lungs labored for air the handicaps of approaching age were brought home to mm more keenly than ever bah he snarled brutally right m the face of his wu a tat slob like you oouldnt ever throw a rope he said no more the hurt tears in the eyes of the boy made the man ashamed in silence he released the bull regarding it with venomous con tempt as it got to its feet he threw the rope down and marched off bill mounted halfheartedly and colled the rope stlnson was an old grouch his spirits rebounding bin determined to rope that bull himself a grumbling bellow sounded bui looked up startled there was the thunder of hoofs bill screeched the grouchy man lit the red jersey coat knew without glancing wtut was com ing he ran there was nothing else to do there was no near tree fence no refuge but the barn two hundred yards away as he ran with that neaiing roar or hoofs behind he berated himself for a careless fool for shewing off before- a child and forgett ing in his superior self confidence that a cocky young bull with injured feel ings must have his re if pos sible yes he was a fool i he heard another scurry of hoofs and permitted himself a backward glance the idiot swinging his rope instead of herding the bull off ride him off you enry dimcel he screamed the thudding hoofs were oloser how near he dared not think and the bam was still so far away why dldnt the kid ride that old nag np alongside and shove the bull over quirt him to distract hla attention he heard another bellow then a slithering crash a high hysterical boyish screech pierced ida ears oct him mr stlnson 1 oct hunt shaking gasping for breath the old cattleman jerked round it was true on the ground caught by the forefeet thrashing hla hind legs but tightly held by a vibrating rope was the bloodthirsty young bull triumph ant at the other end of the hemp was bill hanging on with a none-tpo-ex- pert hall hitch gringo still proving that he rememberedfhe duties of skilled cow pony waa braced magni ficently he was doing his part mr stlnson wiped the sweat from his face with a shaking hand he contemplated the boy for a moment then without a word went to the horse and pulled the whitefaced boy from his saddle go to the barn and wait for me he ordered bui obeyed rather tottery on the legs and exultant from the safety of the barn door he vatdhed the old cattleman release the buljjmount has tily and study the chastened beast to see if he retained any battle within him he did not and be rejoined his oowa with all the signs of relief and gratitude presently mr stlnson tode up to the barn and dismounted he strode over them himself so confidently did he tell them so careful was he in giving details one winter evening while the neighbors were gathered round the stove of the village store he told bow he crossed a body of water known as the gut a narrow passageiat separ ated two lakes or perhaps two parts of the same lake one morning five years ago he began i wanted to get across the out pact is i had to get across for jka stones wife was awful sick and i had to get the doctor for her there had been a boat there all the time and i supposed it was there when i went down but when i got there no boat was in sight wed been having a lot of rain if you retnember and i suppose the high water had carried it off weu its about one hundred or one hundred and fifty feet across the gut land i began to think how i could manage to get over you know i never could swim punny too for most any thing i aei out to do i can get the best of but swimming was too much for me i says to myeslf i cant swim but im a nughty good runner and if i can get down to the bottom of the water i can run across if i can only hold my breath long enough so i took off my coat breathed as deep ds i could half a dozen times filled my lungs up full and went into the water i walked out up to my neck but i found i couldnt stay on the bottom you see i had filled up so full of air i oouldnt sink weu at first i thought i was stumped but then it came to me that if i took good sized stone in each hand per haps they would hold me down and i could make it so i looked around till i found the right kind of sort of long ones i could get hold or easy i grabbed one in each hand got em balanced just right filled my lungs up as full as i could and went into the water again i got down all over that time and as soon as i got my head well under i started to run as fast as i could i had to get across before my breath gave out or i should have drowned weu i ran amiard as i could till i thought i oouldnt hold my breath a second longer ibut i got across and when my head came out of the water on the other side and i could get a lung full of fresh air it did feel- good some run cash said big jim thoughtfully spitting into the ore did you carry the doctor back the same way no said cash he wasnt much of a runner and his wind wasnt so good as mine i found a boat on the other side of the gut and rowed him over jim stones wife was awful glad to see turn and she got weu on another occasion after listening into some fishing stories cash said my son went fishing the other day in mutiny brook he got hold of a trout that was a whopper he play- 1 ed mm round and got him pretty well up where he could net him and he was an old sockdolager i he was big that if you had put him into forty quart milk can he would have stuck out some but my son dldnt play him quite careful enough and he lost him too bad too i tell you if i bad been there i would have had that fish if id had to

saved considerable sum in the past few weeks just by watching the values offered by the merchants and each week she stacked up some of the specials the other ladles claimed that they too were getting to be ad vertising fans and had come to the conclusion that they could shop to very fine advantage in georgetown it is near at hand saving mileage the seasonal goods are fresh and inviting and the prices of staples have dropped noticeably within the hut few months the kind words for the home town merchants are au too rare so it is only fair to pass on this little expres sion of opinion there is no doubt that one of the most informative and vital features of the newspaper is the advertising space watch it in days of financial depression it is well to remember that happiness does not depend altogether nor chief ly upon possession of wealth hap piness is a state of mind and all the influencesthat affect lite contribute to it one who is strongly socialistic finds no happiness apart from com panionship ome philosophical or medi tative finds happiness when alone some find joy in nature some in music some in sport probably the highest happiness is found in contributlrag to the happiness
