Says it dis turbs us and upsets our equalubrtum.” Carara fetched a deep sigh. "It’s ver' bad t’ing, Senor. I don’ feel no worse w’en my gran’mother die.” The three men loped onward through the darkness, weighted heavily with disappointment. • • • • • • Affairs at the Flying Heart Ranch were not all to Jack Chapin's liking. Ever since that memorable foot-race, more than a month before, a gloom had brooded over the place which even the presence of two Smith Col lege girls, not to mention that of Mr. Fresno, was unable to dissipate. The cowboys moped about like melancholy shades, and neglected their work to discuss the disgrace that had fallen upon them. It was a task to get any of them out in the morning, several had quit, the rest were quarreling among themselves, and the bunk- house had already been the scene of more than one encounter, altogether too sanguinary to have originated from cuch a trivial cause as a foot race. The master of the ranch sought his sister Jean, to tell her frankly what was on his mind. “ See here. Sis," he began, " I don't want to cast a cloud over your little house-party, but I think you’d better keep your friends away from my men.” "Why, what is the matter?” she de manded. “ Things are at a pretty high ten sion just now, and the boys have had two or three rows among themselves. Yesterday Fresno tried to ‘kid’ W il lie about ‘The Holy C ity;’ said it was written as a coon song, and wasn’t sung in good society.
