UNCLE DICK WOOTTON, "KEEP
ER OF THE GATE IN
MOUNTAINS"
Richens Lnev Wont ton his nnrents
in Virginia mimed him at his birth lu
1816; Young Dick Wootton his com
panions in Ceran St. Vruin's trading
outfit called him In 1836 when he
joined them on the Santa Fe trail as
a teamster, but as Uncle Dick Wool
ton, the "keeper of the gate in the
mountains," he was best known to
every trapper, fur trader and Indian
tighter in the West.
Wootton's inexperience made iilm
the butt of many a Juke among St.
Vraiu's veterans, and one incident did
not add greatly to his reputation
among them. One night when the
train had been corralled as usual inn
circle, young Wootton was posted as a
jruard, with orders to (ire at any mov
ing object outside the corral. After
some hours lie saw a form moving
about nearby, and promptly opened
tire. The traders, awakened by bis
fhot, rushed out, to Mod thai young
Dick had killed one of their mules
which had wandered out of the cor
ral. Dick soon lived down his blun
der, however, by bis courage in a light
with a band of Comanches a few days
later. Here Wootton killed his first
Indian.
Wootton became a trapper and trad
er, and had many a hard battle with
the Indians In bis wanderings. He
won the undying friendship of the
Arapahoes, however, by saving the life
of an Arapsho woman who was lost
In a blizzard. They called him ')ut
Hand," because he had lost two fin
ger from one hand la a boyhood ac
cident. During the Mexican war Wootton
served ag a scout for Col. William
Doniphan, and once was asked to car
ry dispatches back to Santa Fe
through a country swarming with hos
tile Indians and enemy troops. Ha
was offered an escort but refused It,
saying he could make It better alone.
He accomplished the perilous task,
and received the highest praise from
Doniphan for hi feat.
In hi later year Uncle Dick Woot
ton, as he now was called, settled In
Raton pass, on the border line of Col
orado and New Mexico.
When the Santa Fe railroad built
Its line through Raton pass, one of
the biggest locomotives was named
"Uncle Dick" In honor of Wootton,
and the old scout always watched for
Its appearance and smiled proudly as
It thundered to the top of the pas
with Its heavy load.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT.
For a small family fond of chop
suey, a home-made variety will be
found most appetizing.
Chop Suey. Cut celery
into two-Inch strips, then
shred, not too thin ; cut
one onion in bits. Fry
one pound of Very thinly
sliced round steak, which
is cut into Inch squares,
In suet fat. When brown,
add a little water and
simmer, adding more wa
ter until the meat has
cooked an hour, then add the vege
tables, salt, pepper and a half tea
spoonful of sugar Willi two or three
tablespoonfuls of Figl .sauce, which
comes In small bottles, retailing for
twenty cents. The amount of season
ing depends upon the taste; a spoon
ful or two of caramel (browned sugar
and waler) adds a richness of color
which makes the prodm-i more like
the Chinese chop suey.
Junket Ice Cream. This Is not a
new dish, but the sauce us.'d with It
makes a rather unusual one. To one
quart of rich milk and one cupful of
cream, warm to lukewarm, add one
junket tablet, dissolved in a tahlespoon
ful of water, mix well, add one cup
ful of sugar and one tablespoonful of
vanilla; pour Into the freezer can and
let stand In a warm room until the

usual. When ready to serve, put the
cream In long stemmed glasses and
serve with
Butterscotch Sauce. Put Into a dou
ble boiler, set over boiling water, one
cupful of cream, one cupful of sugar,
one cupful of dark corn sirup, mix
thoroughly and let cook over boiling
water for one hour; then beat In one
dessertspoonful of butter and one-half
teaspoonful of vanilla extract.
A Delicate Frozen Dish. Heat a
pint of cream, remove from the fire
and add one-half cupful of sugar and
a teaspoonful of vanilla ; stir until the

CS, 1021. Western Newspaper Union.)
She was a small creature with wide
appealing eyes of blue. And what the
men found to so udmlre In her was
more than other women could see.
Among themselves they discussed her
as o vampish person to be righteously
avoided.
Certain it was that from the moment
Meda Brown became a member of the
Husted house party, swains old and
young left their formerly adored to
follow in her train. And, Meda
Brown; what a plain name.
Nevertheless, the demure one tri
umphed easily everywhere. The
strange thing was that she did not
try for the triumphs, or seem to care.
Usually she had to be bunted out In
some secluded corner, or forestalled
on one of her customary walks down
the road. Owen Person's fiance was
continually seen in the Unwelcome
Meda's company, and of late Marlon
Gi'ovenor's heretofore faithful attend
ant was usually to be found there too.
The women's tool attitude toward
the interloper showed their displeas
ure. What right had Julie Husted to
bring this unknown relative of her
husband's among thein?
When Tom Lacy met her, Meda was
picnicing with her Husted cousins on
the bank of a stream. She talked to
Tom, as he happened along, while her
cousins fished. And though Tom Lacy
believed himself to lie in love with
Marion Orovenor, he lingered and
thought the little Meda Brown person
very entertaining, indeed.
It was always that way. As days
passed he planned und schemed for
them eagerly.
Meda was so delightfully surprising.
She could be gravely, wisely sympa
thetic or infectiously gay and merry.
"I suppose," Marion contemptuous
ly remarked to Tom, "You believe that
tlattering interest in yourself and your
engrossing business Is genuine. She
puts It on for everyone like a cap.
And then laughs at you for your pains.
Why you all humor her in her self
esteem is more than I can see. She's
just a little cat without a thought be
yond her own amusement. And If
you care for me "
Tom knew the rest. He had heard
it before. If he cared for Marion his
friendliness with Ihe pleasing Meda
must cease. The trouble was that he
(lid not know this could he done.
Meda was so dlllereiie from flirtatious
maids lie had known. His friendship
for her was a real and vital thing.
Or was ihe deep feeling merely friend
ship? Then Tom Lacy knew it was
love. He told her frankly, as they
sat together, that he had intended to
marry Marlon, and that he had thought
he cared for her until Meda came.
And, he recalled as he spoke, many
hitter things Marion bad said of the
girl, who now listened; the unkind tale
of her unscrupulous conquests, her
heartless triumphs, and he felt that
the revelation of Marlon's nature, with
her unreasoning Jealousies, had killed,
at its beginning, any love that might
have been. Tom, in his eloquence,
was not aware of nil that he said. He
impressed upon Meda Brown his own
belitf in her, despite Marlon and all
others. And when he had finished,
waiting breathlessly bis fate, Meda,
her soft eyes suddenly aglow, threw
back her head and laughed. Tom
stared, growing very white.
"You, too," lauglu"tl Meda, "so you
had to love me. Though before we
met you intended to marry Miss Urove
nor." Still smiling, Meda looked hack at
him, "(Jo and marry her, my dear
friend." she said, "for I have finished."
Tom sat. after she bad gone, trying
to understand, lie bud not known
that love could so make one suffer.
Love, how little he bad realized its
meaning. So they were rigid, .Marlon
and I be rest of the women; it was un
believable. Toin Lucy stood undecidedly. He
did not want to go back to the house.
'A little cottage stood at the end of
ihe country lane, lie and Meda had
stopped there sometimes to visit a
solitary old woman. Meda liked to
play for the lonely one on her isj l
piano. His steps led him there now,
unconsciously. Absently, he dropped
on the wooden bench outside the cot
tage window. The tinkling tones of
the piano came to him. Meda's voice
was singing a sweet little song, Its
each verse beginning with "Somebody."
He listened, wondering vaguely nt the
tremulous catch In the still loved
voice; "And somebody' dream, If
dreams can come true, Is only a dream
of gladness for you; my dream Is for
you."
Then all at once Tom Lecy under
stood. The despised girl would wil
lingly efface herself and her love, that
she might give to him what she be
lieved to be his own dream of glad
ness. To him, and to Marlon, who so
misjudged her. So she had acted for
Marlon' sake, the part Marlon gave
to her. And through all she cared.
His heart sang at the thought. For
a moment he stood thinking of the
two women Marlon, whose selfish ex
actions had marred their happiest
hours, and this other girl, with her
dream of gladness but for hlin. Tom
Laey went boldly Into the room. Meda's
eyes welcomed him. He took her
Into bis arms.
