Chapter Fire,
BRONCHO BUSTING
rOWN In the corral, Tombstone
Joe walked backward! and
looked orer the mare. Now that he
had snubbed her against the poat,
other men were blindfolding her,
working on bridle and saddle. Ran-
eome, the gray-headed ranch fore-
tun, was in charge of this business.
"What you think of her. Tomb
stone?" asked Ransome.
"Half dynamite and half wildcat,"
said Tombstone. "She's too pretty to
be good."
Said the Montana Kid, from tbe
fence: "You don't hitch on to a
streak of lightning and ask Is It
good. You ask how far It'll take you."
Tombstone turned sharply around
to rebuke the speaker. Then he saw
that It was the Kid, and Instead of
answering he rubbed his Jaw, slowly,
as though he had been hit there on
day.
The Kid did not smile. His brown,
handsome face remained perfectly
calm, but as he stared at tbe mare
the blue of his eyes burned paler
nd brighter continually. He pushed
his hat hark from his forehead and
... spurs but after the second jump
lie was pulling leather like t tender
foot caught In a horse-storm.
This was a tornado. It rushed as
though It would tear down the fence.
It turned as though it would here a
hole through the ground. And Tomb
stone sailed out of the saddle side
wise. He struck the corral soil,
raised a (hut, struck It again, and
lay limp and still.
Three nooses settled over the neck
of the mare and held her as she tried
to get at the fallen rider and aarage
him. Some one crawled under the
fence and dragged Tombstone to
safety. Some one else emptied a can
teen oyer the upturned face of Tomb
stone. After a while he breathed.
Then he stood up. "She foxed me
that time but I'll get her the next
try," he said.
Ransome, the foreman, said to tht
Kid, "Well, what you think!"
"She's a sweetheart," said ths
Montana Kid.
He eased himself down from tht
fence. The side of the fence he wai
on was the inside.
They were snubbing the man
close up to the post again.
Ransome grabbed Montana's arm.
"Look out," he said. "Don't yon bs
a damn fool. Keep away from temp
tatlon."
TUB Kid looked down at Ran
some's hand. Ransome took II
away.
showed the blue-black of sleeked
hair. He was so dark that he looked
almost like a Mexican. Only, In mo
menta of excitement the blue of his
eyes turned bright and pale. He was
like the mare big, but with sinews
and proportions that made him look
wlft and light.
"This here streak," said Tomb
tone, "It'll take you far, all right;
it'll take you to hell, but It might
leave you there." s
The Kid tapped the ashes from
his clgoret and made no answer. Hla
eyes were on the mare. She waa wait
ing patiently, submitting to the
darkness that enveloped her eyes,
muffled her thought And yet there
was danger In her patience.
The Kid knew It. He kept tasting
,her strength and her speed as he
'had tasted them since the day when
the started with many mon on her
'trail. The length of that trail had
caused the third postponement of his
!tnarrlago with Ruth Lavery.
"pHE bridle and tbe saddle were
adjusted. Tombstone mounted
gingerly. Many falls had taught him
shameless caution. He almost acted
like a msn afraid.
"Let her go," he said, quietly.
The bandage from her eyes, the
rope from her neck, were Instantly
disengaged. And the mare shot at
the sky.
Nobody spoke. Thoy had all seen
an Infinity of horse-breaking, but
this waa not the same thing. They
stiffened on the fenceposts. They
looked with great eyes, seeing and
thinking. Horses have to he broken,
hut the mare looked like Reality and
the man looked like the Reast.
He was a frightened Beast. There
was no pretense of the dashing, cava
lier ride which a cowpuncher tries
to show at a rodeo. Tombstone
llarted that war, silting straight up,
raking the mare fore and aft with
Tombstone saiieu cu of the saddle.
"We'll Just have a look-see," said
the Kid.
"You been and promised Miss
Ruth!" said Ransome. huskily.
"Did I?" said the Kid, absently.
He walked around the front of tin
mare and looked Into her eyes; She
waa quiet. The only thing abe had
learned was the burn of ropes, and
she did not fight. Not outwardly. The
devil was quiet In her, waiting.
Some one said, from the fence,
"He could handle lire, but not that
Are."
Another man said: "What's her
name? What you gunna call her,
Montana?"
"You better call her before you'n
dead," said another.
"Her name's Sally," said the Kid,
gently. He smiled beautifully at the
men on tbe fence. He included them
all In the gentleness of his glance.
They feared him so much that they
almost hated him; but because they
loved him, also, no man smiled back.
"Why call her Sally?" asked Ran
some, the foreman.
"I knew a gal called Sally once,"
said the Kid.
"Did she look like this mare?"
asked Ransome.
'She wore black silk stockings all
around, like this one," said the Kid,
gently.
Tombstone Joe was fitting himself
carefully Into the saddle. Montana
said, "Watch her, Joe."
"Who the hell la giving me ad
vice?" asked Tombstone.
Something hit the ground, slither
Ing sldewlse, plowing up the dust
With the last flopping turn It ap
peered as the body of a man. The
clothes were white with dust. The
face was black with It.
Up on the veranda the girl
screamed, but no one turned to look
towards her. She had not screamed
because Tombstone was on tht
ground., sprawling. The cry cams
from her when she saw Montana
leave the fence as a puma leaves a
hough for a kill.

DR. PUSH'S SUBJECT
AT LI
ROUGH HOUSE
Dr. C. H. Paske waa the principal
Apeaker at the weekly luncheon of the
Kl wants club held yesterday noop,
giving an Interesting talk on "Folk
lore of Dentistry."
The speaker said that the facf that
teeth do not grow Into the body until
some time after birth lends a mysti
cism which la also evident In the
study of teeth for character read
ing, which has been carried on to
considerable extent in France. Dr.
Paske said It Is believed by many
that If teeth are set far apart one will
travel, while If they are close, one
will stay at home.
The speaker declared that In Africa
If a baby is born with a tooth In Its
mouth. It Is Immediately killed, and
that the coming of teeth In msny
other .countries Is the occasion for
elaborate religious r:tes. Dr. Paske
said that just as the present race Is
equipped with one less tooth than
were man's early predecessors, so fu
ture generations will have still one
less Jaw tooth..
