PHILUPS t COMPANY This is the famous storv of Red Saunders, big Red, tough Red of the plains and mines. We shall follow this expansive man through his days of toughness and sinfulness up to the great day of his life, the day that shall bring the metamorphosis of Red. This, trumpeter will not give the story away by indicating how this transformation shall come about whether through the re' morse or repentance of Red, his conviction of sin, his fear of the damnation of the wicked, his yearnings for the peace thql passe th understanding, or wheth er it shall be the love of woman that shall bring this giant to his knees and make him as a little child. The trumpeter will only promise that this conversion of Red shall be one of the mos interesting and delicious epi sodes in all fiction, which th reader wilt enjoy and doubtless remember through all the years of his life. CHAPTER I. EDDY and I were alone at the lake beds. lie sat outside the cabin braiding a leather hat bandeight strands and the re peat figure an art that I never could master. I sat Inside with a one-pound pack age of smoking tobacco, beside me and1 newspapers within reach, rolling the day's supply of cigarettes. Reddy stopped his story long enough to say, "Don't use the 'Princess' Slip per,' Kid that paper burns my tongue take the 'Granger'; there's plenty of it" Well, as I was saying, I'd met a lot of, the boys up In town this day and they threw as many ap two drinks into me; I know that for certain, because when we took the parting dose I had a glass of whisky in both my right hands and had just twice as many friends as when I started. When I pulled out for home I fell mighty good for myself not exactly looking for trouble, but not a-golng to dodge it 'any, either. I was warbling "Idaho" for all I was worth you know how pretty I can sing? Cockeyed Pe terson used to say it made him forget all his troubles. "Because," says he, "yon don't notice trifles when a man bats you over the head with a two by four." Well, I was enjoying everything in sight, even a little drizzle of rain that was driving by , in rags 01 weuiuns when a flatfaced swatty at Fort John son halted me. Now. it's a dreadful thing to be but ted to death by a nanny goat, but for a full sized cowpuncher to be held up by a soldier is worse yeti To sav that I was hot under tne col lar don't give you the right Idea of the way I felt "Why, you cross between tne iasi rose or summer bdu b uuumw flush!" says I, "what d'yer mean? whnt'H eot into you? Get out or my daylight, you dog robber, or I'll walk the little horse round your neca uu three ringed circus. Come, pull your freight P It seems that this swatty naa Deen ohnrked out of the tnlTO Story m Frsnohy's dance emporium by Bronc Thomnaon. which threw a great re spect for our profesh Into him. Con sequently he wasn't fresh, like most oidiers. but answers me as polite as a tin horn gambler on pay day. ft.n he: "1 lust wantea to ten ou th.t old SToathead and forty braves are some'ers between here and your outfit, wltlftbeir war paint on and blood- In thetr eyes, cayoodllng and whoopln' fit to beat hell wira me . ..n.ldil tin with er on, ana 11 you s" -- them I reckon they'll give yoa a hair cut and shampoo, to say nothing of other trimmings. ;iuej after th Crow., Dot irs bill against a last year's bird nest that they'll take on any kind of trou ble that comes along.

How In blazes I'd managed to slip through those Injuns I don't know. 'Twould have been a wonderful piece of scouting it I'd meant it. You can most always do any darn thing you don't want to do. Well, there I was, and, oh, doctor, but wasn't I In a love ly mess! That war song put a crimp Into me that Jack Frost himself couldn't take out. r It was as dark as dark by this time. The moon just stuck one eye over the edge of the prairie, and the rest of t':e sky was covered with cloud. A little light came from the Injuns' campflre, but not enough to ride by, and, be sides, I didn't know which way I ought to go. Says I to myself, "Billy Saunders, you are the champion all around, old fash ioned fool of the district You are a Jackass from the country where ears less'n three foot long are curiosities. You sassed that poor swatty that want ed to keep you out of this, tooting your bazoo like a man peddling soap, hut now It's up to you. What are you go ing to do about It?" and I didn't get any answer neither. Well, it was no use asking myself conundrums out there In the dark when time was so scarce. So I wrap my hankercher around Laddy's nose to keep him from talking horse to the Injun r -nies and prepared to sneak to where I'd rather be. Laddy was the quickest thing on legs In that part of the country out of a mighty spry little Tinto mare by our thoroughbred Kentucky horse and I knew if I could get to the open them Injuns wouldn't have much o&a chance to take out my stopper and examine my works not much. A half milt start, and I ceuld show the whole Sioux nation how I wore my hair. I cut for the place where the Injuns seemed thinnest, lifting myself up till I didn't weigh fifteen pound and breathing only when necessary. We got along first rate until we reached the edge of 'em, and then Laddy had to stick his foot In a gopher hole and walloped around there like a whale trying to climb a tree. Some darn cuss of an Injun threw a handful of hay on the fire, and as it blazed up the whole gang spotted me. I unllmbered my gun. sent the irons Into Laddy, and we began to walk. I didn't like to make for the ranch, as I knew the boys were short handed, so I pointed north, praying to the good Lord that I'd hit some kind of settle ment before I struck the north pole. Well, we left those Injunsso far be hind that there wasn't any fun In it. I slacked up, .patting myself on the back, and as the trouble seemed all over I was just about to turn for the ranch when I heard horses galloping, and as the moon came out a little I saw a whole raft of redskins a-b iling up a draw not half a mile away. That knocked me slabslded. It looked like I got the wrong ticket every time the wheel turned. I whooped it up again, swearing I wouldn't stop this deal short of a dead sure thing. We flew through space, Laddy pushing a hole in the air like a scared coyote making for home and mother. A-ways down the valley I spotted a little shack Bitting all alone by Itself out In the moopllght I beaded for It hollering murder. A man came to the door In bis un derrigging. "HI, there! What's eating youl" he TPllS. "Injuns coming, pardner! The conn try's Just oozing Injuns! Better get a , Wiggle on you P "All right-slide along. Ill ketch op to yon," says he. I looked back and saw him bustling out with his saddle on bis arm. "He's a particular kind of cuss," I thought "Bareback would suit most teople." Taking It a little easier for the seat couple of miles, I gave him a chance to pull op. We pounded along without saying anything for a spell, when I happened to notice that bis teeth were chatter ing. ": "Keep your nerve op, pardaerP says L "Don't yon get scared we're got a good start on 'em." He looked at mo kind of reproach fal. j- " "Scared bo denied P says he. 1 reckon If yoa was riding around this nice cool night In year drawers, your teeth 'od rattle some too." I took a look at him and saw, sore enough. whU be had hat, coat "and boots on, the pants was missing. Well, K It had beeh'tbe lasTacfrd tare bad to laugh. . "Couldn't 8nd em nohow," says be. -nan ted high sad low, Jlck. Jack and the game Jnat comes to my samo now that I had 'em rolled op and was sleep ing on 'em. I don't Uko to go around this way-I feel as If I was two men and one of 'em hardly respectable." "Did yon bring a gun with yoa J" H gave me another stare. "Why, pardner, yon most think I bars got a Sight and friroloos dtepoeltioa," says he, and with that ho beayes up the treat grand node of a U the sic shoot ers I ever did see. It aaado my forty tve long kwk tike' something for a kid to est Its teeth on. Thars the heat 1 ram bm this country," bo went on. - .

I want something that'll tow his eon- Ha bad It M a broadside from that battery would scatter aa elephant eref a township. " sun up. The Grindstone Buttes Jay about a mile ahead of us. Looking back, we saw the Injuns coming oyer a rise of ground 'way in the distance. "Now," says my friend,. "I know short cut. through those hills that'll bring us out at Johnson's. They've go enough punchers there to do the Unit ed States army up starched and blued, Shall we take It J" "Sure!" says?I. "I'm .only wander, lng round. this Jlart of the country be cause this part 6f tarn country Is here if it was anywheres else I'd be Just as glad." ' , So in we went It was the steepest and narrowest kind of a canyon, look ing as If It bad been cut out of the rock with one crack of the ax. I was Just thinking, "jGee whiz, but this would be a poor place to get snagged In," when bang! says a rifle right In front of us, and m-e-arr! goes the bul let over our heads. We were off them horses and behind a couple of chunks of rock sooner than we hoped for, and that's saying a good deal. ' ; "Cussed poor shot, whoever he Is," says my friend. "Some Injun holding us here till the rest come up, I pre sume." - 'That's about the size of It and I'd like to make you a bet tjiat he? does It, tdo, if I thought I'd have & chance to collect." "Oh, you can't always tell you might lose your money," says he, kind of thoughtful. "I wouldn't mmd that half as much as winning," says I. "But, on the square, do you think we can get out? I'll Jump him with you if you say so, although I ain't got what you might call a passion for suicide." "ow you hold on a bit," says he. "I "don't know but what we'd have done better to stick to the horses and run for it, but It's too late to think of that Jumping him Is all foolishness: he'd sit behind his little frock and pump lead Into us till we wouldn't Boat In brine and we can't back out now." He -talked so calm he made me kind of mad. "Well," says I, "In that, case let's play 'Simon says thumbs up' till the rest of the crowd comes." "There you golv says he. "Just like all young fellers gettin' hosstyle right away If you don't tal In, with their plans. Now, sonny, you keep your temper and watch me play cushion carroms with our friend there." "Meaning how?" "You gee that block of stone Just this side of blm with the square face toward us? Well, he's only covered In front, and I'm a-going to shoot against that face and ketch blm on the glance."' "Great if you could work HP says I. "But LorAl" "Avtll, watch," says he. Then be squlncbed down behind bis cover, sol " Well, watch," tayih. as not to give the Injun an opening, trained bis cannon and pulled the trigger. The old gun opened 'her mouth and roared like an earthquake, but I didn't see any dead Injun. Then twice more abe spit Ore, and still there weren't sny desirable corpses to be bad. "Say, pardner." says I, "yon wouldn't make many cigars at this game." "Now, don't yon get oneaey,- says be. "Just watch." , "BIffP says the old gun, and this time, sore enough, the Injun was knocked clear of the rock. I felt all Ions that ho wooldnT be much of a comfort to bis friends afterward if that cun did land on him. SUii, bo wasn't so awful dead, for as wo lumped for the horses bo kind of hitched himself to the rock, and, lay ing the rifle acroardt and working the lever with bis left band, bo sent s hole Dlomb through my hat "Bully boyP sags L I snapped at him and smashed the lock of bis rifle to flinders. Then of coarse bo was oar meat As we rode ap to him my pard held dead on blm. The Injun stood np straight and tan and looked as square In the eye.

'"H rrk fl,!t "" Jxr aepcTiVm'cut enl tlie ranch aa an r;r1 "t 'orwe. n1 "tt. comes Jones from Boston, Mass., and what he didn't know about running a ranch was common talk In the country, but what he know about running a ranch was too much for one man to carry around. Ue wasn't a bad hearted fel ler In some ways, yet on the whole he felt it was an honor to a looking glas to have the pleasure of reflecting him Looking glass? I should say he had! And a bureau nnd a bootblacklng jig ger and a feather ed and curtains and truck In his room. Strange tellers used to open their eyes when they saw that room. 'Ilello-o-or they'd say. Whoso llttlo birdie have we here?" And other remarks that hurt our feel ings considerable Jonesy, be said the fellers were a rank lot of barbarians. He said It to old Neighbor Case's face, and be nnd the old man came together like a pair of bens, for Jonesy had sand In spite of bis faults. That was a fight worth traveling to see. Tbey covered at least an acre of ground; tbey tore the air with upper swats and cross swipes; they hollered, tbey Jump ed and they pitched, and when the dif ficulty was adjusted we found that Jonesy's coat was painfully ripped up the back nnd Neighbor Case bad lost bis false teeth. One crowd of fellers patted Jones on the back and said, 'Never mind your coat, old, horse; you've licked a man twice your age,' and the other comforted Neighbor, say ing, 'Never "tjjlnd, Csneyou "can ease your mind by thinking bow you beaded up tbnt rooster and be fifty pounds lighter tfinn you? "Jonesy put on airs after that He felt be was a hard citizen. And then be had the misfortune to speak harsh ly to Arizona-Jenkins' when Old Dry Belt was In liquor. Then be got roped and dragged through the slough. He cried like 0 baby while I helped hint scrape the mud off, but not because be was scared! No, slrl That Uttle runt was frll of blood and murder. "'You mark me now, Bed,' says he, the tears making bad land water courses through the mod on his cheeks. 1 shall fire upon that man the first time I see him. Will yoa -lend mo yoi - revolver?" "'Lord, Jones, see here,' says L 'Don't you go making any such billy-1 goat play as that Keep bis wages until he apologizes. Put something harmful In bis grab; but, as yon have respect for the Almighty's handiwork as represented by your person, don't pull a gun on Arizona Jenkins. That s the one thing he won't take from no body.' "D-d-darn hlraT snivels Jonesy. 1 ain't afraid 0-0-of . blm.' and the strange fact Is tbut be wasn't Well, I saw be was In such a taking that be might do something foolish and get hurt, so I goes to Arizona, and says I, 'Yon ought to apologize to Jones What Zony replied ain't worth repeat ing. 'And you along with blm,' be winds up. '"Now, ain't that childish T I says. A six footer like you that can shoot straight with either hand and yet ain't got generosity enough to ease the feel ings of a poor little devil that's fair busting with shamef " 'Well, what did be want to tell me to shot up my mouth for?" cried Old Dry Belt 'Men have diet) of less than that' " 'Aw, shucks, Zony I says. 'A great, big man like you oughtn't to come down on a little cuss who's all thumb band side and left feet' "That be- blowed,' says be, only be says It different 'I'd like 10 know what business sucb a sawed off bas to come and tell a full grown man Uko me to shut op bis mouth. He'd ought to stay In a tittle man's place and talk sassy to people bis own else. When be comes shooting off bis bazoo to a man that could swaller bin whole without loosening bis collar It's Its pldence; that's wbat It to.' "Well, as s fdor to me T I says. Well, If yon put It In that way-I don't want to be small about it' "So Arizona goes op to Jones snd sticks out bis band. There's my hand. Jones,' be says. 'I'm mighty sorry y 00 told" mo to shot opmy month,' says he. " lio am I,' says Jones heartily, not taking, in the sense of the words, bat feeling that It was all In good Inten tion. 80 that waa aU right, and I stood In with the management In great shape for fixing op the fuss so pleas ant But It didn't hurt Tbey say noth ing hula in this world. There's some pretty solid rocks In the Coenr d'Al ene, however, snd I should Uke wait around snd see If they don't bold oat, bat 111 never make It I've been In too much excitement "Well, the next thing after Jonesy got established was that his niece most come out daring vacation and oar blm a visit 'Jeernsatemf thinks L 'Jonesy's nlecef I bad stolons of a thin, yalier, soar little piece, with mouse colored hair plastered down on her bead and an unkind word for or erybody. Jonesy told mo about her ba ins In coUege. and then I stock a pair of them nose grabber specks on the nlctara. I can stanT.most any kind of a man, bat If there's anything that makes the tears corns to my eyes Ifs a botch of a woman. I know tney may have good qualities snd all that bat I don't like 'em. and that's the whole of it Wo gays three load groans when wo got the news in the boll pen. And I euseed for tea mln ates straight, without repeating my self once, when It so teU oat that the gBambers of the board rolled oat oar war the day the girl had to DO sea for. and Joneer couldn't break leoae. and yoor ancle was elected to take the backboard and onre rwenxy auiea to the railroad. I didn't mud the go ng out. bat that twenty miles back with Jonesy's niacel Say, I foamed like a soda water bottle when I got to to the ball pen and told the boys my lock. -Wen.' sayd Kyle Lambert that's what yoa might aspect; year sins hays foand yoa oat' -Ho, tbey abjt; they're caught aso st home ss seoal.' says L Wan, TU give that eastern Woeewn'sa, Idea of the quality of this ewusroy, snybow.' go I togs myself rp Si the swfmJJest rig t could find; strapped two estrtdge halts to ma. every hole fllled. sad. gun m every bolster; pat candle grease as) my msstacbe sad twisted too ends op to my eye winkers; stack a kalfs la my hatband and another la my boot; threw a ehotgaa and a rifle in the backboard and pulled .oat anlck throogh the colt pens before Jonesy eoald get his peeps on to mo. "Well, sir. 1 wee 5rred wrtJ when I laid" my eyes on that young woman. I'd had my mind made up so thorough as to what she must be that the facts knocked me cold. She was the sweet est, handsomest, healthiest femalo 1 ever see. It would make you believe In fairy stories again just to look at her. She was all the things a man ever wanted in this world rolled up in a prize package. Tall, round and soople, limber nnd springy In her action as a thoroughbred and with something mod est yet kind of daring In her face that would remind you of a good, honest boy. Red, white and black were the colors she flew. Ilnlr and eyes black, cheeks and Hps red, .and the rest of her white. Now, there's a pUe of dif ference In them colors; when you say 'red,' for instance, you ain't cleaned up the subject by a sight My top . kjiot's red, but that wasn't the color of her checks. No; that was a color I never saw beforo nor since. A rose would look like a tomater alongside of 'em. Then, too, I've seen black eyes so hard and shiny you could cut glass with 'em. And again that wasn't her style. The only way you could get a notion of what them eyes were like would be to look at 'em; you'd remem ber 'em all right If you did. Seems like the good Lord was kind of care less when he built Jonesy, but when be turned that girl out be played square with' the fambly. "I aln'tWbat you might call a man that's easily disturbed In bis mind, but I know I says to myself that first day, 'If I was ten year younger, young lady, they'd ncyer lug yoa back east again.' Gee, man! There was a time when I'd have pulled the- country op by the roots but I'd have had that girl! I notice I don't fall In love so violent as tbo years roll on. I can squint my eye over the cards now and say, 'Yes, that's a beautiful hand, but I reckon I'd better stay out,' and lay 'em down without a sigh, whereas when I was a young feller If I had three aces In sight I'd raise the rest of the gathering right out of tbelr foot leather or get caught at It. TJiually,"I got caught at it for a man couldri't run the mint long with the kind of luck I have. "Well, I was plumb disgusted with the fool way I'd rigged myself op, bat, fortunately for me, Darragb, the sta tion man, came out with the girl. There's Beddy, from your ranch, now, ma'am,' says be, and when be caught sight of me: 'What s the matter, Bed? Are the Injuns upr "Darragb was a serious Irishman, and tbafs tho mournfuleat thing on top of th globe, and, besides, be be lieved anything you'd tell blm. There aln.'t any George Washington strain In my "sleek, so I proceeded to get oot of trouble. " Tbey ain't up exactly,' says I, "but It looked as If tbey were a leetle on the rise, and, being as I bad a lady to look out for, I thought I'd play safe.' The color kind of went out of the girl's cheeks. Eastern folks are scan dalous Ifrald of Injuns. "'Perhaps I'd better not start? fays She. "Don't you be scart, miss,' ssys Darragb. 'You're all right as long as you're with Red he's the toughest proposition we've got In this part of the country.' " I'm obliged to you, Darragb,' says He meant well, but hell's full of them people. I'd bare given a month's wages for one lick at him. "I stepped, op to ber, with my hat In my band. 'Miss Andree, says I (she was Jonesy's sister's child), If you conTe'aiong with me 111 guarantao yon a safe Journey. If any harm reaches yon It 4lll be after one of the liveliest times in the history of the territory.' . "At this she laughed. 'Very wen aava aha. TU chance It Mr. Red.' . " 'His nsms sin't ueoy puts in vam ragh, solemn. 'His name's Saunders. We call blm Red because of bis nab-.' " Tm sure I beg your pardon,' says Miss Loys, sll of s fluster. "Tbafs sll right ma'am, no asm. age done st all.' aays I. It's useless for me to try to conceal the fact that my balr is a little on the, auburn, xou mustn't mind what Darragb says. We've bad a good deal of bot weatb or lately and bis brains have gone wrong. Now hoo In and we ll loucn the breeze.' Bo I piled ber trunk Jn, "Bud and Dandy were a corking lit tle team.

Cause, toeation and 8ymptom Shoe ing end Treatment Bruises of the sensitive structures underlying the solo in the ai!le form ed by the bar and wall of the boot at the heel are termed corns. See Fig, LAB. The solff Horn is very thin at this part and Is therefore less able to protect the sensitive structures ander- heath against Injury from pressure of the shoe or other violence. The braise Is evidenced by the blood staining, softness and sponglness of tho born of the part which wUl be moist or may even discharge matter If the bruise has been a severe one. It Is only In rare Instances that corns are fonnd on the hind feet which have whmis oonss oootm. seldom the flat conformation of tbo fore feet The Inner heels of the fore feet are e most frequent seat of corns on . 'ount mainly oc tne norn on the Ui it ' heel being weaker than that of thi iutor. The practice of fit ting the I: r web of the shoe to the wall where! y part of Its bearing Is on the seat of corns Is also responsible In some degree. This practice Is adopt ed presumably to prevent brushing, but It la unnecessary, as in brushing a horse docs not touch with the beel, but with tho qudrtor, or toe. The lameness caused by corns con sists In a short stilty, stumbling step, Is most apparent on hard roads snd in creases with exercise. When at rest the animal bas a tendency, to "point" the foot with the beel slightly raised, toe resting on ground and limb bent If there are corns on both feet there Is alternate pointing or frequent change of the pointed foot Unlike navicular lameness, that from corns increases with exercise. The spongy, bruised born should boj pared away so ss to allow any effusion or matter to be discharged. The spot should then be dressed with balsam, butter of antimony or other antiseptic and hardening agent K Is essential that pressure should be kept off the part, and to Insore this a horse with shoo son a ooaa TUBsa-QOAirmi shob. corns ought to be shod with slippers, ' (he heels of which should not ext na beyond the quarters, or if only one beel Is affected then a three-quarter shoe. See Fig. 2. - In case of a corn discharging matter after paring tho suppurating surface may be lightly cauterised with a red hot Iron and afterward treated with pine tor, quick lime, carbolic powder or other entl aeptlc dressing.
