Following a ;seriee 'of burglaries last night, steps were taken today to rid the city' of a gang of prowl ers- which the police believe to be organized, operating under the di rection of a leader. ; ' .Extra policemen have been de tailed to the residential e districts and if this does not result in the apprehension or the breuklhg 'up of the gang, plain clothes men will be sent out from, the inspectors' bureau. In a number of burglaries ! la&t night, wherein houses were enter ed and ransacked, . evidence va left to show that money was the chief object of the house breakers. Even jewelry was spurned. This was taken by police as evidence of the experience of the gang. The home of Judge W. , A. Ek wall was among thoso prowled last night. The same thief, or thieves, ransacked two other homes in the immediate vicinity. IT IS GETfiNfr COLD SNAP'S ON H lT4rVAVTH6V5AV H StNOUS YOUR. BLANKET,!)

I Some years later, when Rita and ber mother depart , for - Che east and a finishing school, thei boy learns for the first time how , much he cares for Titus Moore's red-haired, arrogant daughter. Moore is one of the chief op ponents of the movement to open Oklahoma. Word is received that David Payne, leader of the move ment, is dead, and Tony, In his loyalty to Moore, is troubled be cause of his sympathy for Payne's cause. ltita comes back for a vhtlt and Tony Is forlorn in the knowledge. of his hopeless love for her. Fin ally, in desperation, he declares himself, and when she reluctantly admits she is engaged to another he leaves the ranch. CHAPTER XXXV ; "He's Ht out I don't '. know where," Craig Informed her. And then a return of the suspicion that had prompted htm to' question Tony a few minutes before his de- liarture led bim to inquire elmrpiy, "Look here, did that boy do any thing to make you feel bad?" - ; -. "No, no," she said hastily, and added slowly, "I feel badly, Jae out not ai anrinius l uuj n uuue. Piease remember that.". - , "I will. Rita, you've been cryin', and it just breaks me all up.

"Don't" her voice trembled with hysteria "don't vnu s how hnnnv I nm? why don't you say something?' His eyes were frightened. He closed them, aa If to shut out the sight of something that hurt him He made no answer but reached out an arm and gathered ber to him. She bad found the under standing she bad been craving. He patted her gently as she leaned against bim and cried on his shoulder, ber body wracked by violent sobs. .' The Bar K beard nothing 'from Tony Harrison. Some weeks after he left Craiir got a letter .from Pawnee Bill informing him, that Tony had left Cherokee in his care and had headed east. - : "We. didn't do any explaining," Pawnee Bill wrote, "other than to say be had left the Bar K for good. He asked me if I would winter Cherokee at - my father's place, and I Imagine he headed for some big city probably Chi cago." ; , Craig's only word to Titus Moore was to deliver Touy's mes sage. "He. told me to tell you he i was real grateful, Colonel; then be lit out" . i - "And what, do you mako fit, it, 1 Craig?" , 1 "Me?" I don't understand It a; little bit." j The colonel smiled patiently, but did not press the matter fur ther. He was not a fool. he told him He It; But he was wise enough to say nothing to Rita or her mother. After Ills wife and daugh ter left - ho - moved around the ranch looking like someone who had , lost his only friend,- and Craig, hugging his secret to- him self, . would gare after him with many mournful shakings of - the head, hoping In vain for some In timate little revolution from the colonel that would invite, his own confidence. It did not come until consider ably later.' ' , ' 'Jk)ward the end of ' November" Craig encountered; Pawnee Bill In , Caldwell.

Colonel Moore, be added, would be going east in a week -or two. "lie's aiming to spend the Christmas holidays with Rita and her mother. He might spend some time there; Mrs. Moore aint well at all, aud the old inau's some what nervous about it." At Christmas time there was a present for Joe Craig fiom Tony two flannel shirts, very loud, aud sent by express to Caldwell. Joe, looking for a return address, found only the name of the firm from whom the shirts had, been purchased. He knew only that Tony was in Chicago or bad been. , As a matter of fact, Tony was still there; but no oue beard from him again until early In March, when Pawnee Bill got a wire from him asking to be informed con cerning his show plans. He wired a reply, ending with "Letter fol lows," and slipped Joe Craig's letter inside the envelope of his own. Tony read the letter 'in the lit tle hall bedroom of the boarding house he had been calling home for seveval months. When he had finished he lay back on his bed and stared at the celling. Present ly he sat up nnd read the letter over, his mouth twisting , into a queer llitlo grimace of pain. Oue puragraph, especially, he read over and over. "What you couldn t see, in your pigheaded neas," Craig had written, "was that she had done it to make her mother happy. She don't love this Herbert Foray the any more than the man in the moon, but all hell couldn't make her admit it to any body not even, to me, and she'll tell me more than most folks. But I had sense enough to see it, aud you didn't. ' Whatever 1 happened between you iand-1 Rita and 1 don't know: ; what it was -you plumb misjudged her." Tony crumpled tho letter In his hand and strode over to a cheap Httlo dresser to stare at his re flection in a cracked mirror. Per haps, he admitted to himself, .he had misjudged her still that didn't help matters. , . , - . "Where do I get off?" he asked his distorted reflection, and found himself feeling a hatred for Mrs. Moore, Invalid though she'-, was. "Wliat right hns she got?", ho de 'manded fiercely. "It's not her town life she's i meddling with, 'Hell!" he- exploded savagely and brought his baud down on the dresser with a tremendous -smack that sent the mirror to quivering nnd hta'own warped image to dancing craKily before his dark-circled eyes. - He reached for his hat and coat nni) nllnrl nut intn - thn ; ntnnt. where ho walked rapidly toward tiio nearest aaioon. a terrinc winn Happy Here They Are! ..

In the saloon he sank; down in a chair at a small table and called for a bottle. i He drank moodily, refusing to 1 be drawn Into conversation by ac quaintances that slopped from time to time to say hello. He tried to welsh what Joe Craig had writ ten to him, tried he told himself to be fair. But he was unable to , rid himself of the feeling that an injustice had been dune him. j More than ever he felt like an outcast he had been injured uu-1 necessarily Rita, granting what Craig said was true, had kissed . him out of charity, or pity, and he I wanted neither. , , t liis seuse of injury mounted as the contents of the bottle in front ; of him dwindled.

A cup ot hot coffee, black, a run tor his street cur and thou another day of work. Unloading irelgnt uu day long, it was heavy wo ik, monotonous, drab but what else was there In Chicago? He had merely loafed at first,! spending must of his waking hours gambling until he had ut teny wearied of it. He had at Inst found something that sapped him of ui3 restlessness; there was a cruel Joy in making his muscles ache and returning to his room each evening weary and sore, his body fatigued beyond the fatigue of his mind. t f . ; To Bo Continued) , , Tony Harrison Joins Pawnee Bill's show.

Other advantages claimed are easier control of Brown Hot, and a decrease in the number ot rod prunes ordinarily produced. Directions tor pruning trees of different apes as recommended by the committee will be inter proted nnd demonstrated by Mr. hong at each of these county meetings In January. The most effoctlve pruning for bearing trees is an annual thinning out, varying in amounts from a very light thinning to an extrema thin ning or skeletonizing, and Increas ing in severity aj the visor of the trees decreases and the bruahl noBS increases. . Old, devitalized. urushy trees are given the ex treme skeletonizing the first year and n light thinning out each bug ceedlns year. Young, vigorous, non-bearing -trees are given aa llt'.lo pi lining as possible. - The sovore pruning necessary to materially increase the size ot pruneB may decrease total yields, but the gross income from the crop is greater, becauso ot the larger sizes nnd higher prices per pound. Better prices received for the larger sizes more than offset tho possible reduced total ylold. . Pruning Is equally Important for pears. Annual pruning is noceaunry If profitable yields of D'AnJou pears are td be produced, according to Mr. R. A. Busenbark, of Melrose. "My trees made very little growth aud set little or no timt until 1 thinned out tho limbs and adopted the practice of an nual pruning," . said Mr. Busen bark. At these demonstrations, In structions will also be given la the pruning of appleB, cherries, poaches and walnuts. . i Arunnei, piano tuner.
