owner of the place. The question

man declares he will remain on the
place and restore its prosperity, waning
under Blllie's rule.
CHAPTER IV. The regular calf
round-up is begun. While the riders
are at their evening meal, far out on
the range, Blx outsiders loin them. Bil
lle knows them to be "rustlers." who,
under the leadership of Slade and a
man named Harper, have in the past
stolen Three Bar cattle. To test Har
ris' courage the girl appoints him
temporary foreman, suggesting that he
order the visitors to leave. Somewhat
to her surprise, he does so. The men
depart, making threats. Billle makes
Harris permanent foreman. Catching
Morrow leaving cattle where they can be
stolen. Harris discharges him. Mor
row leaves, and Harris realizes he has
made a deadly enemy. Also, he knows
that Harper. Slade, and the rest of the
"rustlers" now will know with whom
they have to deal
"A foreman has a scattering of a
dozen or so men to back him up,"
Morrow observed with a shrug of one
shoulder toward the rest of the men.
Harris turned to the girl
"1 resign for about sixty seconds,"
he said and swung back toward Mor
row; and again all hands noted his
queer quartering stand. 'To not fore
man right at this minute," he said.
"So If you had anything in particular
to address to me in a personal vein
yon can start now. Otherwise you'd
better be packing your stuff."
Morrow turned bis back and headed
for the rope corraL When he had
addled one horse and packed his ef
fects on another he turned to Evans.

"Then I'll take to riding with my

Morrow started to snarl an answer,
Us usual self-repression deserting
him, but Harris waved an impatient
hand.
"Drag itl" he snapped. "Get mov

your horse out from under you and j
we win if I ever bear of your turning j
up on the Three Bar range again." j

CHAPTER V
J Billle Warren rode with Harris on
J the last lap of the circle. There were
; but two men remaining with them.
"Moore 1" Harris-called, and the
man turned his horse down the bead

"Keep well away from me!" he or

They hung their spurs Into their
mounts and the horses plunged down
the steeply-pitching bottoms, vaulting
sage clumps and Bounding along the
cow trails that threaded the brush.
Two hundred yards below the cow

lowed a Jump behind he felt a
Jarring tug at the cantle of his
saddle and the thin, sharp crack of a
ride reached him. The gulch made ft

around It Harris swung sldewise In
the saddle and looked back. They
were entirely sheltered from any
point on the divide six hundred yards
behind them. He pulled his horse to
a swinging trot and they rode down
the sloping meadow that led str:ii;.'l)t
to the main valley.
"We didn't pet started any too
soon," Harris said. "His liurse wasn't
more than a hundred feet beyond the
notch when he blew off and warned
us not time for me to get cached
and drop hlra as he topped the ridge."
The girl's eyes suddenly riveted on
a small round hole in the cantle of his
saddle where the ball had entered.
On the Inside and far to the left ex
tremity of the cantle a ragged gash
showed where It had passed out The
ball had not missed his left hip to ex

out Into the center of the valley, rose
In her stirrups and waved an arm In a

riders were whirling In behind her

She waved those already on the spot

"Change horses I" she called, and as
each man rode In he caught up a
fresh horse.
"Scatter out; some of you below

From MOUNT ZION
We are having a good Sunday
School at Mt Zion, and are thankful
that it got started again, and we
invite all good preachers who preach
the Bible and work in Sunday School
to visit Mt Zion church. We need
more good preaching at our church
Everybody that belongs to God is my
brother and sister in Christ Jesus, and
everybody pray for one another that
our work may be stronger in the last
while to come than it has in time pass
ed that we might be a light to this
world and helping somebody to get
ready for the next world, for the
Lord is going to call us all away
sooner or later. We are thankful for
the word that God left for His chil
dren to go by. for every word that
He left is true. I know this world has
changed from the way it once was
but God's word has not changed, nor
the heaven has not changed, nor the
way we have to go to God is not
changed but if we are not careful
we will not get hold of the way for
we will let these poisons run away
with us and that isn't pleasing to God.
We must stay unspotted from the
world and wat after our Saviour.
We cannot serve two masters. We
will either hate one and love the
other. If we love Him keep His com
mandments. We kndw that all is
ready, will go when Jesus comes. We
know that it is a clean life to go to
Jesus. Except we serve Him in this
world, we will be cast off in darkness.
He meant for His children o be a
help to get the world saved. He did
not mean to, have us here forever. He
meant to gather us all up again. All
read the Bible and love the word and
love one another, and love Jesus our
Saviour. It will be so good to get to
go to heaven when we leave this old
world. Our friends that are gone, if
we don't meet them all, we will meet
our Saviour, and meet Him face to
face. Be careful, all you wicked peo-
will be a dark road to travel after
you leave .this; world.

The basis of treating siaknees has not

still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's S;
