Signs of a third party movement in organized baseball since the minor leaguers notified the "big, five" ot their or ganization at Dallas to ceace the modified ciraft system, have brought about a summons to an other minor league convention at B'rench Lick Springs, Indiana, January 9. Mike Sexton of Rock Island, Illi nois, head of the minors, in calling his league executives and club owners together again, said the call was broad enough to include the modified draft question and the whole major-miuor agreement. The major leaguers, meeting the week after the minors had passed their anti-modification resolution early this month, notified the minor leaguers they wore just as much dissatisfied as the "big five" the American association. Inter national. Pacllic Coast, Western and Three Eye leagues. The ma jors told the minors to make an ef fort to patch up the dispute In their ranks or tho whole major minor agreement would be thrown ovorboard; Toy tractors and trucks, just ljko the big ones that we sell, at Wharton Bros.

Chief characters are: Tony Harrison, orphaned at 13 when his father was shot lit a poker game; Pawnee Bill, adventurer, teacher, Indian interpreter, showman;, Joe Craig, who takes Tony to the Bar K ranch to live; Titus Moore, owner of the Bar K brand; Rita, his little tomboy daughter. Some years later, when Rita and her mother depart for the east and a finishing school, the boy learns for, the first time how much he cares for Titus Moore's red-haired, arrogant daughter. - Moore is one of the chler oppon ents of tho movement to open Oklahoma. Word is received that David Payne, leader of tho mbvo inont, is dead, and Tony, In his loy alty to Moore, is troubled because of his sympathy for Pnyne's cause. He tries to forget Rita Moore and accompanies Pawnee Bill and Buffalo Bill cn a wild west show tour. , CHAPTER XXX The show cjos-'d hi Denver Iho following spring and Tony Harri son went back to the Bar K. youie time later Pawnee BUI and his In dians went east a'ain to jol. Healy and Bfgelow and Tony heard from him from time to time, his letters coming first from Brook lyn and, later, Philadelphia. In September Tony got a letter containing real news. Pawnee Bill was married. ' "August 31, 1SS0." he wrote, "marks the turning point in my life. Despite the fact Unit I was al most broke. May Manning and I were married on that day and now I've got sense enough to know that money wasn't meant to be wasted. Hereafter I'm going to make it my business to pile it up and to make a good name for myself at : tho same time. "We're staying for the present on my father's farm near Welling ton. Drop in and see us some time." May Lillie was utterly be wildered at the life around her, Tony found when he visited them. She was small and vivacious and plainly very much in love with her husband. , - 1 ' "I'm going to keep him at homo here," she declared, clutching Paw nee Bill's arm. "I'm not .going to let Jilm go gallivanting around Hie countrv with a bunch of wild In dians." .- What are your plans?' Tony i asked Pawnee Bill when they were) alone.

She' homesick things are lonesome for her ot In tliis country. I think she's afraid 1 11 lose my scalp." He added that he was lending his moral support to the Boomers. "You heard what huppened last fall?'' . , Tony Harrison shook his head. "Well, a big bunch of them went in last November, led by Couch, .1 believe. They were run out by the Fifth Cavalry, under Lieutenant Colonel Sumner. They ve stayed out since then and some of them are plumb discouraged. I've been doing a little missionary work here and there, and It 1 can do any good I'll jump in and help them. 1 guess Craig wouldn't like that it he knew it Tho autumn passed! and Tony one more arose one morning to find ice on the creek. A few morn-1 lugs later he and Craig, riding1 over to tho weta fence, discovered j a spot where it had been torn,1 down. . j Craig's face clouded. Rapidly he; wheeled his horse and rode over to the main herd. "Near as I can fig-1 ure," ho anaouueed, "about a him-! dreu ot thorn are mi smug, , Let a get back to that fence.'-'. . ( ' There he dismounted aud began examining the ground. "White men," he said tersely, pointing to ouiiiB i ruen prims. w iiue men, or Indians In hoots, which ain't likely. Probably happened two or three days ago. Como on.M They followed the pin In trail of cattle hoofs for several miles, to a point whero they merged into thou sands of other prints Juat liko them. Thero Crnig shook his head, "A heard going up to Caldwell, he pronounced. "Mlht be a Texas outfit, but I doubt It; it's so late in the year. I'll bet my last dollar it was the Half Moon X outfit; they're mighty handy with a brand, ing iron, and It's not a hard job IQ work a Half Moon X brand over a Bar K. I'm riding to Caldwell. Want to come aiong?" They got into Caldwell In the late afternoon. Crnig immediately led the way to the Santa Fe tracks, just in time to see the curs ot Half Moon X cuttle pulling out. He cirsed volubly and rode alongside tho train for Beveral hundred yards. , , : "1 saw a few fresh brands," he informed Tony; . "mighty suspi cious looking ones. The Live Stock Association oucht to have some In spectors in Caldwell that could be roiled on.", '' . , : f- "Can't you do anything about it?' Tony asked him.. . : "What cnu, I prove? I' don't think Rogier, the ownor of .the Half Moon X. knows -nnvthin about it. His riders ain't above if, though. I've luiown 'em to pull of a tew deals with rustlers before this.". . ; . ; ; Ho led the way angrily to a sa- lnon, his faco twisted in a scowl.

Crnig recognised him as an old acqualn t anco, formerly em ploy ed by Mug Wood, and forced a amile. "Oh. nothin'," he answered. ' "Did you hear that boater was out of jail?" 1 "No Is he?' "Yeah; got a year off for good behavior. He showed up in Cald well thrue, four months ago and then lit out, I don't know where." "Well, 1 hope he turus straight. . . ; Tony, here's to you." He swung around and raised his glass. He set it down again without drinking. A fusillade ot shots had j sounded down the street, inter mingled with shouts aud the thud ding of horses' hoofs. "Kind of early to start shoot in things up, ain't it?" Craig said, and started for the door. As he swuug it open five horse men, all brandishing six-guns and all with their hats pulled down over tnelr eyes, - thundered past, bent low In their saddles. Craig emitted a startled cry. Just as tne nearest horseninu fired. "Benton ! " he gasped, and half spun around and fell. j Tony, thunderstruck, bent over . him an insant and then sprang to the street. Other men had rusned irom buildings and a few were scrambling Into their saddles while others fired after the fleeing rid ers.-- ' Tony, a cold, deadly calm set tling over him, pulled out his re volver and levoled it.- At the third shot he saw one of the horsemen throw up his hand a and slip sldo ways out of his saddle, to be dragged by his stirrup-entangled j foot for a hundred feet and ttiou He still In tho roadway. Coolly he emptied the weapon and thou ran to Joe Craig. . . . (i ( , ; The cowpuncher was smiling. J "Should have known better than ; to go to the door without drawing! my gun. first," ho grinned. I'm I drilled through the shoulder. I Whern nre von enlne?" hn cHntl nn He saw the youth head out ot the door. ' ''I'm going after them." "You como hack here, Tony, and get me a doctor there's p.outy otners after them." ; "But none of them's got a horse like Cherokee," Tony, retorted, and leaped to Cherokee's back, Craig's profane exhortations to return still ringing iu his ears. One by one he passed tho posse in pursuit of Benton and his men. Several of these urged him on with a wave of the arm. "Thoy robbed the bank," he heard one of them shout. "Man, I saw that shooting of yours; go on!'' j But he- told hlmaelf that it was not to bo a race nqtwen .Cherokee and the horses of the bank rob bers, but a ruce between Cherokee and the onrushtng darkuoss.. Tho stallion leuped beneath him like a splendid pioce of machinery nndt he bent forward to speuk jn j Ms ear, juHt as had formorly, .done with Cherokee'B mother. . , "Cherokee, can you understand?

He had passed the last of the pursuit parly halt a mile back, and ahead of him' iu the gathering twl' light, flying dust had evolved into tho figures' of mounted men; tiny specks ot men, growing larger and at the -same time more iudistiuct as the night tell. ! Two miuites more and they had' faded from sight altogether. Tony , half sobbed In hi3 rage. "Half an! hour, Cherokee, and we'd have bad them." . (, He did not stop to consider what' the consequences might have been; had he been able to overtake them. 1 uis own revolver, being ot smaller' cahuert had a shortor range, most! likely, than theirs; besides which, one or more of the fugitives al most certainly carried rifles. 1 lie considered only that the golden opportunity to bring Ben ton to au accounting had passed with a futile race against darkness. ; useless now to pursue them , far ther; they would be bound to sep arate or ' take som unlikely trail. Reluctantly he wheeled Chero kee uruuud and took the backtrail. He patted the stallion's big neck with deep affection. "Old boy, you gave me everything 1 asked for aud then stfme." He lound Joe Craig where he had left him, his shoulder band aged and his arm in a silng. Craig sighed with relief as he entered, and the bartender called out: "The doctor oruered him to bed hut be told tho duo to go plumb to hell; he was ' going to wait right here till he heard from you. He's beeu sitting in that cnair drluamg whistcy ever since the doc put him together again." AU the color had drained out of Craig's face. He clutched at Tony s arm and whispered florcely: "Boy, you shouldn't havo done ' it. 1 thought you'd catch 'em and they'd plug you sure. Di.u t you know, any better?" t - "And I would have, too; if It h ml n't got dark so soon." Ho called to the bartender for a stimulant, "just what happened?" he asked -raig.
