A man picked his way slowly
along the sua baked trail that led
westward to Taggart across the des
ert. It was high noon and the day
had been hot and dry and the man's
throat was parched with thirst. This
did not teiid to listen his ferocious
uspcet uor to soften the anger that
glowed in his eyes. It was all due
to las visit that morning to the lit
tle ranch a few miles behind, for

today is afforded by the fuures
of Vice-President and General
Manager W. R. Scott of the
Southern Pacific on the efficiency
tests made during the hist three
years. Out of 74,110 checks on
the observance of operating rules
by trainmen and enginemen on
the Pacific System there were
but few cases wherein tha signal
was not respected-a percentage
of 09.83, perfect.
These tests are one of the big
gest factors in the railroad's pro
tection of the life and limb of the
traveling public. By them, of
ficials are enabled to detect the
careless man and, in their opinion
the man who is careless is not
the man to be entrusted with any
share of the responsibility of
safely transporting passengers
from one part of the country to
the other.
The tests are made by division
superintendents and their re
spective staffs and under condi
tions that exist in everyday ser
vice. The feature of them, how
ever, is that they reveal a re
marriage.
All the consolation that she had
given him in answer to his earnest
pleading was that she would put
him on an indefinite probation and

thought of it.
"She don't care nothin' fer me,"
he muttered savagely, "'an' 1 know

The faces of both men paled with
fear. Xot in years had two men
met on that narrow trail, and it
spemed some strange intervention
of destiny that it should he Wan en

the cattleman grew anxious, that of
Henderson became ipiickly overshot
with a craftv cunninsr.
"Hello!" he drawled pleasantly.
"Hello!" muttered Warren non-

"Well, what are we C"ing to do
about it?" the city man continued.
"It looks as if vou'd have to go
bark."
"Xot by a sight!" snapped
Warren. "There's no turning about
for either of us. We'll have to man
age to pa. each other. The place
seems pretty wide here."
"Min a coin for the inner side,"
?n,rpsted the other, sullenly roneh

i "Rk'ht." agreed Warren, "but
let's have a look nt it first."
Henderson's face tnrned scarlet
and he staved his hand. "I declare,
I'm all nut of coin," he rattled
sheepishly.
"Hero's an earde," replied War

He tossed the coin to Henderson
as he spoke, who, pale faced and
hesitating, fumbled with it a mo-,
meut and let it lly up into the air j
with a twirl of a veteran trickster.
It fell down on the trail at their
feet, ringing out clear and cold. j
"Tails!" eried the city jnan, over- j
come with incitement. His face re-
sumed something of its natural color j
and the old craftiness stole into his
eyes. j
Warren accepted his fate non-1
chalantly, although he knew that it
might mean death for him. There
was one thing about it, however, '
that galled him. He well knew that ,
Henderson was on his way to the '
Patterson ranch, and it came to
