TUB first oian who built a shack beside tha Bunts Fa siding at that spot of desert where the suu's rsys seemed to focus, and which was later to become tba cow town of Coro, found, after two weeks' residence, that bis claim could never be that of oldest Inhabitant. In an Idle moment of curiosity ha rode up a faintly marked trull, which wandered aimlessly along tha side of a small canyon Into the low foothills three or tour miles from bis shack, and there ha received tlia surprise of his life. Hounding a sudden turn, lie rode at one step out of the sterility of the sage and sund and blistering rock. Into a basln-shuped valley not a stone's throw In dlumeter. A very old, weatb-er-benten corral and a aback, white waahed aud, wonder of wonders, cov ered by morning glory vlues; a bub bling spring, fringed by lush graaa and carefully girdled by a barbed-wire fence, against which leaned a toll, slender, brown-haired girl wbo stared at him In silence all these ba ssw at one sweeping, comprehensive glance. Tha door of tba shack opened and a shaggy old man stepped, blinking, Into the glare of sunlight. lis carried a Winchester over bla arm. The girl, without speuklug, crossed Uthely the Intervening space and stood beside him. There was such sn air of hos tility about the two that tba nearly oldest Inhabitant wus rendered speech less. -Weill" rumbled the old man. "Afternoon, neighbor," pacifically said tha man from tha aldlug. There wss a pause. "I got a shanty, yon der, by tha si din' I Jos' rode over I didn't know anyone was llvln' here," the man from the aiding made an un comfortable Job explaining. The girl said never a word. "Et y'va got a shack by the sldln' I reckon f calnt ba In need o' nothln'," tlia old man spoks slowly. "Mebbe y'd better get often my laud and ride back where y coma from." 11 ad ha been leas taken aback, the Inan who had " rods over" would hav resented the other's attitude but, la a data, ha put on his sombrero, turned bis horse, and loped down the trail and out of this story. Tha town of Coro sprang up as cow towns will. When five ahacks faced tba aldlug, a auloon came, and there followed all tba adjuncts and appur tenances of a hepbatardly built cattle depot. Urn there were who lived In the ahacks, caroused and fought; but there were no women; bence tha burning Interest for tba "gal np tha canyon." Twice a month 01 Ouunaugh rode Into town for supplies and, as morosely, rode out again. New arrivals appeared. When two men bad been shot at and narrowly missed, It wss not considered healthy to "snoop around tha morning glories." A notable exception was young Billy Deans, but lately from tha Ilrasos. He said little, but listened ; and after the manner of silent men It waa his to win. As to the Incident of their meet ing and tha ripening of tha acquaint ance Into love, no one aver knew. A Clrcle-O man bad come unexpectedly upon the two, tiding blithely along In tba early twilight and. unseen himself, had slipped away. Ills news spread Ilka wild fire. When the nnsusiiectlng lover showed up an hour later ha was greeted by a sudden roar of congratu lations and queries. For a second be stood aghast, then deftly whipped out a long-barreled Colt, and, lolling back, drawled: "Kf any gent wants to dis cuss my pus'nal business" There waa an Instant's silence. Smith, the spokesman, saved the situ ation, lie made a broad. Inclusive gesture snd tha roomful, as one man, stepped to the bar. When cigars were passed, each man bowed solemnly to tha Hushed youngster, then turning, faced tha foothills. So dullcsta a com pliment could not ba resented by tha most fastidious. Tba progress of 'the courtship could only be speculated upon, until one Sun day, about a month litter, Tha after noon was stifling, oppressive; the ddx- an men who hunched In the chairs tilt ed against tha wall, wore listless and Inert Outside, there waa not a breath of air, but In tlia south gray, wlnd-rlb-boned clouds stole up over the horlton and seemed linked to eurtb by a pallid base which grew In height as It drew swiftly nearer. Peane entered and noiselessly crossed tha room. When be resetted tba bar ha turned and faced the row agtttust the wall. , "There's preacher chap In from the Fort," ha said. Then all In one breath, "he's golu' tohold a meeting In Carley'i place, an' after tba meetin' I'm goln' to ba married. She's read about these here big church weddlns' an' she says she alius wanted on o' them kind, and this Is 'a near 's we kin coma to it. You boys Is Invited." Then, as his words were slowly com' prehended, tha row of tilted chairs came down with a crash and there was a joyous scramble to reach hlin. Outside, tha sand storm bad come, and It beat against the window panes, but no one noticed It No one noticed tho puff of dust that swirled In as the door opened. No one noticed tba old man, specter like In his leprous-white powdering of alkali. Young Deane, above tha hubbub, was unnecessarily explaining : "I'm goln' to marry the girl up tha canyon Miss Corlnns Oon nangh." " "Say tfiiT agaTu, young 'feller P " In the hush the answer Jerked out: Tm goln' to marry your daugh ter." A shot finished the sentence. A moment after1, It would bava seemed that what had happened could never have occurred were It not for the .huddled figure on the floor and tba open door through which came clouds of dust Out In the enveloping, obliterating storm, his bridle flying, his arms vain ly shielding his low-bent face, rode an old man, shouting at tba stinging sand: "She's all I have aU aU I have." The hoarse voice scarcely rose above a whisper in the gray night or flying sand, but he stIU cried bis Justi ficatlon: "All all I bava ("again and again till the blinded pony stag gered Into tha sheltering bills. The cabin, as ba entered, struck an unfamiliar note of emptiness. "Corlnns I" he called fearfully. Aft er tba unavailing search he stood still In the center of the room, staring dumbly before him. She would com back to her old dad, surely, yes, sure ly. Wasn't he all she had now? Ills eyes gleamed malignantly. She would cornel If not! Then be would go back to town ; but be must wait until dark, to go now meant death. Anoth er thought struck blm, and be snapped open tha breach of hta revolver, drew out four discharged shells snd tossed them away ; then be felt in the pocket of his coat first on one aide then on tba other. Ilia bewildered expression gave place to a look of abject terror. "I went ta town far ca'tridges an' I didn't git 'em. Now I got only two. Two I" be groaned. "If they should come before dark? But .tho v won' ' 1 coma, uicy waive coiner n reiterated Over and over again. The only window of the room was heavily shuttered. He' dragged the table over against the door, then flung himself down In tha corner In tha gloom, and waited waited. The hot afternoon ground llaelf away with pit iless emphasis of time. A knot-bole, low on tba western wall, let a bar of sunlight Into the murky room and It fell In a brilliant splotch of gold on tha grim floor. Tha old man eyed It morosely until ha noticed that It moved. After that ba watched It eag erly, gloatingly, as tba bar lengthened IncD by Inch and tha fleck of gold slow ly croaaeM the floor, He crawled about until ba found two of tha empty shells that he bad tossed away ; then he put one of them squarely In the center of tha circle of light the other a few Inches In advance. Gradually the light left tha one shell In shadow, crept the distance between, and M It glittered on the brass of tha other, tha old man grinned. Then ha moved tba rear shell ahead. So the day waned. Tha circle of light had crossed the floor and was traveling np the eastern wall. The msn watched It exultantly. "An hour morel Only an hour I" ba whispered. The bar waa now hort sontal, six Inches above tha floor; then It paled, flickered, and went out He gave a gasp of relief. Outside, the sun waa dipping below tha borlson. Tha dusk deepened swiftly. Be crossed the room and began to drag the table from the door. Suddenly he paused and listened Intently. Then a look of otter hopelessness came Into tha haggard face. "Oh, God. f might ba' given me ten little minutes more !" be whined. Nearer, nearer came tha galloping hoofs, and a acore of riders swept up. "All right Connsugh !" a doxen voices called. "It's ail right I" A gleam of wolfish cunning crossed tha old man's face. They dont fool me," be sneered, and aa a band fum bled with tba latch, be fired through the door, breast high. "Oh. dadl" Ha tore away tha table and flung open the door. At his feet knelt Deane with tha girl's body In bla arms. "She ta dead," he said. Behind blm stood the semi-circle of men, for once too horrified to act Deana stood up. "My wife goes borne to my cabin. Help me, boys. HlmT In answer to the rising muttering "W leave him to his thoughts I" High In tha bills above tha silent lonely valley a wolf bowled In the dark. From tha black open doorway of tha cabin came a soft scuffling sound aa of some one on hqnds and knees groping upon the floor. Then tha vole of an old, old man: "One ea'trldg ta all I bava left Just all!" Card-Playing Ancitnt Tba origin of playing-cards Is un certain, although it la probable they appeared In Europe about 1350. It Is claimed, however, that they were Introduced Into Europe by way of Spain, having been brought from tha Near East by Arabs or Saracens. Tha earliest known mention of European carda occurs In 139, at which time an entry waa made in the treasury books of Franc of "fifty sols of Franca paid to Jacquemtn Orlngonneur for three pack of carda for the amusement of the king" (Charles VI), who had lost his reason. Early In the Fifteenth century, the nss of playing-cards spresd all over Europe. A duty was first placed on them In England In 1018. Exchange. TadpoU Growth When batched tha tadpole has no limbs and even tha tail la absent or very small. It Is, however, provided with disc with which It attaches Itself to tha egg mass or a water plant It has no mouth, eyes, nostrils or gills, still being nourished by the yolk with in Its body. This Is particularly true of the spring frog which spends Its first winter ss a tadpole, becoming full-slsed frog when about a year old. Then it Is only half grown and It may require another year for It to become three to four Inches long. PTfiTOT CAUSE OF SCABBY LEGS IN POULTRY Tb unsightly disease which affects the legs of fowls, causing them to swell and become distorted, is da to a mite, a small Insect wblch Is simi lar In appearance to that which causes scsb In sheep. It Is roundish oval and semi-transparent about one eight-hundredth of an Inch In length, appearing, when magnified 400 di ameters, about half an Inch long. Be neath the scsles there are spongy, scabby growths, In which the eggs and pupae of the mites ara to be seen In great numbers. The pupse are very similar In shape to mature mites, but are very much smaller, appear log, when viewed with the above mentioned power, about one-tenth of an Inch In length. The disease, being of similar character to the scab In sbeep, or the mange In dogs and cat tle, may be cured by the same treat ment Fowls were cured of this dis ease, before accurately knowing the causa, by applying to the legs a mix ture of lard with one-twentieth part of carbolic acid. This should be ap plied with a stiff brush, such as one of those sold with bottles of mucilage. A very small painter's sash-brush ffP"M ar the purpose; but some thing must be used by which the medicated grease can be applied thor oughly to the crevices between tha scales. A mixture of equal parts of lard or eweet-oll and kerosene will be equally aa effective as the carbolic acid mix ture. It Is probable that lard, or oil alone, would ba effective, but the kerosene more esslly penetrates be tween the scales and the carbolic arid Is aura death to tha parasites. The remedy being so simple. It will be Inexcusable If this disagreeable affec- Ltloa la suffered to remain In a flock; while, however, one fowl Is troubled with it. It will certainly spresd, ss the mltee will burrow benesth the scales of tha other fowls. If precautions are generally used, the parasite can be exterminated. Whenever affected fowls ara sent out the disease goes with them. Pullets Grown Rapidly Will Give Best Profit A study of the relation of certain factor In the single comb White Leg horns at the University of Idaho agri cultural experiment station showed thst the more a pullet weighed when aha started laying, the heavier were th first ten eggs she laid. The larg est pullets, as messured by their maxi mum weight for the yesr, laid eggs thst averaged the heaviest for the year. This la an Important consideration became In the past early maturity, aa Indicated by a small number of day from tha dst of hstcb to date of first egg, has been emphasised. It I quit natural to expect that the pullet thst begin laying early weigh leas when they start to lay than those thst take a longer time to mature. Rapid bodily maturity Is, therefore, as Mseotial aa rapid sexual maturity, as Indicated by tli laying of tba first gg- No correlation wa found to exist between the size of the pullet and bet yearly production. The large pullet laying a large egg would seem desir able. Tb large pullet however, ma ture too slowly and Is a lees efficient sgg producer. Efficient management calls for pullets of medium site, ma tured normally, both bodily and sex nslly. The Indications ara that such pallets have the best chance of being producers of standard eggs aa well as an equal chance of being high pro ducer. Wisconsin Experts Give ' Rations for the Chicks For chick th first ten days Wiscon sin expert recommend thl corn cake: finely ground corn, 1 pint; wheat bran, 1 teacupful; soda, 1 teaspoon ful ; sour milk, 1 teacupful.
