BY McCLUR-B, - PHILLIPS O COMPANY "If that" s the way yon look at It, I'm much obliged to you," said Bed, Who would not have discouraged such a feeling for anything. He said to himself, ','This don't seem much like the kind of people I've heard inhabited these parts. Those boys are all right Reckon if you use people decent they'll play up to your lead, no matter what country It Is." At 7 :30 the fence was done,' gorgeous in a coat of fresh red paint, and the hands departed, each with a slice of JIlss Mattle's chocolate cake, a thing to make the heathen gods feel contemptuous of ambrosia.. . They went straight to the black smith's shop, where they were anxious ly expected. "Good pttil" he said a little later, "If you fellers will talk one at a time, p'r"aps I can make out what's hap pened. Now, Sammy, s'p'ose you do the speaking?" Whereupon Sammy faithfully chron icled the events of the day. The boys had behaved themselves as If there was nothing out of the common hap pening while they were with Hed, be ing held up by a sense of pride, but naturally the splendid physique of the cowman, bis picturesque attire, his abandoned way of scattering money around and the air of a frolic he had managed to impart to a day's hard work all had effect on Imagination, and the boys were very much ex cited. 'I'd like to know how many Injuns that feller's killed!" piped up the youngest. "Hy! He could grab hold of a man and wring his neck like a chicken." 'Aw, tst!" remonstrated the black smith. But the elders stood by the younker this time. 'Yes, he could, Mr. Farrel!" sold they.-- "You ought to seen him when he rolled up his sleeves! He's got an arm on him like the hind leg of a horse, and he uses an ax like a tack hammer. He got mad once when he pounded his thumb and busted the post square in two with one crack." "Well, he looks like a husky man," admitted the blacksmith. "But why didn't ,you boys take the extry dollar when he made the offer? ,He 'pears to know what he was about, and It looks kind of foolish to say 'no' to it" There was a moment's silence. "We wanted to show him we were Just as good as the folks he knew," explained the eldest somewhat shamefacedly. The 'blacksmith straightened himself. "Quite right, too," said he. "We air when you come to that." A little pride is a wonderful tonic. Each man of that gathering felt hlmseir tne oei ter for the display of it In the meantime Bed was repairing the ravages of the day opposite Miss Mattte at a supper table which wag bountifully spread. Miss Mattle put two and two together and found they meant a larger sum of eatables than she had hitherto felt sufficient and, with a little pang at the thought of the Inadequacy of her first offering to her cousin, provided such fatness as the land of Fairfield boasted. They discussed the events of the day with satisfaction. "My!" said Miss Mattle. "You do things wholesale while you are about It, Will, don't your . Bed smiled Iff pleased acknowledg ment "I'm no peanut stand, old lady," said he. "I Uke to tee things move.1 ' " " " Then Miss Mattle broached the ques tion she had been hovering around ever since her guests had taken their leave. "Do you think you'll really go Into basin ess with that young man who was here to dinner?' abe asked. "Why, I think Ifs kinder likely," aid Bed. "But yon don't know anything about him. Will," she continued, putting the At attrtt O f weak aide of. her desire) forward! ta ar te to rest more securely IX that stood to, I etooX" agreed Bed. "Bat here's the way I feet a boat that: I wast to be doing something according to gey star; besides that, it womld he a good tblBf for this place If some klad of a lire doings was to start here.

"Let the people go? Bible?" cried Bed, laying down his knife and fork, still mora fiHtnntaheii at her allusion. "Will you kindly tell me what that has to do with faro bank? Girl, one of us is full of ghost songs, and far, far off the reservation. What In the name of Brigbam Young's off-ox are you talking about?" "Why, you spoke of Pharaoh, Will, and I can remember about his holding the children of Israel captive, and the plagues, but I really don't see Just how it applies." "Oh!" said Red, as a great light broke upon him. "Oh, I see what you're thinking about. The old boy who corralled the Jews and made 'em work for the first and last time In their history, and they filled him full of fleas and darkness and all kinds of unpleasant experiences to break even? Well, I was not talking about him at all. My faro Is a game played with a layout and a pack of cards and a little tin box that you ought to look at carefully before you put any money on the board, to see that it ain't ar ranged for dealing seconds; and there's a lookout and a case keeper and well, I don't believe I could tell you Just how it works, but some day I'll make a layout and we'll have some fun. It's a bully game, but I say, it's a great deal like life the splits go to the dealer; that Is to say, that if the king comes out to win and lose at the same time, you lose anyhow, see?" "No," said Miss Mattle truthfully. Red thrust his fingers through his hair and sighed. "I'm afraid I, know too much about it to explain it clear ly," he replied. "But what I mean is this: Some people try to play system at faro, and they last about as quick as those that don't. I always put the limit on the card that's handiest, and the game don't owe me a cent. As a matter of fact, some of the tin horns nuori tn wnnr a nalned exnresslon when they saw me coming across the room; I've split 'em from stem to keelson more than once and never used a cop per in my life. Played 'em wide open all the time. Now," and he brought his fist down on the table, "I'm going to play that young man wide open, and I'll bet you I don't lose by him neither: He looks as honest as a mas tiff pup for all he dresses kind of nice. I might Just as well try him on the fly as to go lunk heading around and get stuck anyhow, with the unsatis factory addition of feeling that I was a fool as well as confiding." Most of the argument had been an cient Aryan to Miss Mattle, but the ring of the voice and the little she un derstood made the tenor plain. A sud den moisture gathered .in her eyes as she said: "You'w too good and honest and generous a man to distrust any body. That's what I think, Will." "Mattle, I wish you wouldn't talk like that" said he in an Injured voice. "It ain't hardly respectable." Ator which there was a silence for a short time. Then said Miss Mattie, "Do you think you could content your self here, Will, after all the things you've seen?" Bed brightened at tne cnange ui tnnin "I'll full vou how that is. If I hadn't any capital and had to work here as a poor man, I uon t oeiievc i u take the trouble to try and live. I'd smother. But having that pleasant little crop of long greens securely in tfcs Imnk where the wild time doesn't grow and thusly being able to cavort around as It sweetly wl no soa mo whV. I like the -country. It's sport to take bold of a place like this that's only held togemer uy suspenders and try to make a real live man's town out of It" Miss Mattle drew a deep breath of relief. "You came like, the hero In a fairy story. Will, and I was afraid you'd go away like one," she said. He peached across the table and pat ted ber hand. "You'd have had to gone, too," said he. "The family '11 tick together." 8be thanked him In a soft little voice. "Dear me," she murmured, "It floes seem that you've been here a year, Wfll.1" "Never was told that I was such slow company before." "Yoo know perfectly well that that Isn't what I mean."

There's mighty feyew things I wouldn't do In a hawse trade, but I draw the line on murder. Thatthere hawse'll kill you, Just's sure as you're fool, enough to put yer self on his back.

"Only buying a horse, Mattie," re turned Bed soberly,- "Seemi to b quite an event here.", "Is that,alir "That's all, so help me Bob!" Bed bed a suspicion that there would be objections If she knew what kind of a horse It was. Lettls, who had roomed with Bed overnight was in the secret , The horse arrived, leading very quietly, as Mr. Upton had said. It was a buckskin, fat and hearty from long resting. Nothing could be more docile than the pensive lower lip and the meek curve of the neck. Nothing could be more contradictory than the light of its eye, a brooding, baleful fire, quietly biding Its time. "Scatter, friends!" cried Bed as be put bis foot in the stirrup. "Don't be too- proud to take to timber!" ne swung over as lightly as a tra peze performer, deftly catching bis other stirrup. The horse groaned and shivered. "Don't let him get bis bead down! Ool ding It! Don't your screamed Mr. Upton In wild excitement Bed threw the bridle over the born of the saddle. "Go It yoo devil!" cried he. And they went Six feet straight In the air. Drat pass. The crowd scattered, as requested.

Kintill boys rcairipered after, but the majority preferred to trace the progress of the coulllct by the aborig inal "Yerhoops" that came from some where In behind tho old houses. "There they go!" piped up a shrill voice of the small boy brigade. "Right through Mis' Davlsscs hen coops! You ought to see them bens fly!" The tri umphant glee Is beyond the reach of words. Simultaneous squawking veri fied the remark as well as a feminine voice urging a violent protest cut short by a screum of terror, and the slam of n door. The Inhabitants of "Mis' Davisses" house instantly ap peared through the front door, seeking the street. To show the erratlcalness of fate, no sooner had they reached the road than Red's mount cleared the parapet of the bridge In a single leap, a beautiful leap, and came down upon them in the road. All got out of the. way but a three-year-old, forgotten in the excitement Upon this small lad, fallen flat in the road, bore the powerful man and horse. Then there were frantic cries of warning. Fifty feet between the youngster and those mangling hoofs- twenty five! The crowd gasped. They were blotted together! Not so. A mighty hand bad snatched the boy away in that instant ot time. He was safe and very indignant In a howling, huddled lieap In the ditch by the road side, but alas for horse and rider! The buckskin was not used to sueh feats, and when Bed's weight was thrown to the side for the reach he missed his stride, struck his feet to gether, and down they went while the foot deep dust sprang Into the air like an explosion. Miss Mattle rushed td the scene of the accident, followed by everybody. Young Lettis, equally frightened, was close beside her. "Oh, Will, nro you- killed?" she cried, And then a voice devoid of any signs of weakness, but loaded to the break ing point with wrath, told in such lan guage as had never been heard In Falrtlcld that the owner was still much alive. "Bun away, Mattle! Run away and let me cuss!" shrieked Bed. Miss Mattle collapsed Into the arms of Let tis. TO BS COlfTtHCSD.) King John and McCarty. During a session of the territorial legislature of Montana a measure waa introduced which involved grave con sUtutlonal questions, as It seemed to some. One orator declaimed quite fiercely against it urging that It was clearly In opposition to the great prin clples of the Magna Charts which the brave barons In days of old bad wrest ed from King John. Another legislator rose Immediately to reply, determined to show that he for one. was not to be overwhelmed by high sounding words or obscure allusions. Plunging at once Into bis subject he declared with much vigor that it was time for the legisla tive bodies of Montana to think and act for themselves without reference to the opinions or principles of King John and his man McCarty.

Washington March 7, 1908. Senator Tillman made valiant fight in the Senate this week to secure the adoption of a resnlution calling on the Secretary and Treas urer for information regarding every loan made by the New York banks between June 1 and December 31, 1907. Mr. Tillman was opposed by Senators Aldricb, Depew and Hopkins, all of whom wanted it re ferred to the committee on Finanr e of which Mr. Aldrich is tbe chair man, where it will be either per manently buried or emasculated so that when it returns to the Senate it will fail wholly of its purpose, an exposition of the extent to which the New York banks were aiding and abetting the stock gamblers. The week in the House waa char acterized by a monumental pieca of hypocrasy on the part of the Re publicans. Representative Heffl,in , of Alabama offered an amendamem to a street car bill for the District of Columbia, a "Jim Crow" provision Most of the Democrats supported the amendment for the conduct of negroes on the street cars of tbnt District constitutes perhaps tbe greatest nuisance with which in residents have to put up, but the motion afforded an opportunity to tbe Republicans to assert on thu floor of the House their undying love for the negroes, an opportunity of which tbey were not slow to avail themselves. It is almost needless to say that the'amendment was defeated. Perhaps the most powerful speech made in the House this week was that of Representative Hitchcock of Nebraska, who made an eloquent appeal to the Speaker and tbe oth er Republican leaders to take tbe tariff off of wood pulp in order that tbe current robbing of the newspa per publishers by tbe paper trust might be stopped. He also refer red to tbe fact that such a step would go a long way toward saving the rapidly vanishing for res Is of the United States. Speaker Cannon ia, however, violently opposed to this measure and there is not tbe slight est chance that any relief will be af forded to those who have to buy white paper, by the members ot this Congress. It is announced unofficially that the finance Committee of the Senate and tbe Ways and Means commit tee of the House will secure author ity to lit duiing the recess of Con gress and to Uke such steps is may seem wise with s new to revisit g the tariff next winter. It is, oi course, nnlikely that this work will be undertake! at the short session but it will probably occur at s sh- cial session to be called by tbe next President one year from now. The President will also co-operate with the leaders of bis party in Congress by appointing s committee of Treas ury experts to investigate and pre pare a report on such administrative features ot tbs law, as should, in their judgment be altered. Of course tbe sort of tariff revision the republicans will make can be ju dged by every reader of this paper. 1 he McKlnley tariff law furniahes some clue to tbe sort of tariff tinkering tbey call "revision", when almost evety scbedale was materially ad vanced. ' Mr. Aldrich ss tbe head ol tbs committee on finance, he who has been termed the High Priett of protection" will be tbe final arbi ter In all questions of dispute, snd all those who are familiar mith Mr Aldrich 'a record can well appreciate that his maxim is slwsys "when in dpubt raise tbe tariff." Speaking of tariff revision by the Republicans, some indication ol their probable coarse is afforded by recent interview with Represents tive Tswney, chairman of Lbs com mittee on Appropriations, who says that the defict in tbe national Tress ory next year will amount to 1150, 000,000, snd that soy changes in ths tariff sehedolee mast be made with s view to producing more revenue. Despite the fact that there is this large deficit, in sight, Speaker Can ooo, who has cried economy every time he has been asted to permit the passage of a really meritorious measurer, is engineering throught the House a widow's pen sion bill which will give to every woman who married an old soldier, whether ne served ninety days or three years, a pension of $12amotnh. This means an increase of the annual pension budget of $12,000,- 000 or 15,b00,0O0 a year. And the worst of this legislation ia that it will benefit chiefly women who married old soldiers to secure their pensions, many of them ot question able repute. Most of what might be termed the deserving widows of the the veterans are already receiving pensions under the existing law, As one Republican Senator ex pressed it, "I suppose that $15,000, 000 is tbe price the American people must pay to gratify Uncle Joe Can- non's presidential aspirations." This is what Hon. Jake Moore, State Warden of Georgia, says ot Kodol For Dyspepsia. "E. 0. De- Witt & Co., Chicago 111. Dear Sirs 1 have suffered for more than 20 years from indigestion.
