with no neighbors nearer than ten or fifteen

Here he has a log house, suitable stabling.

The ranter keep three horses. When

sometimes on horse, sometime two. H
always keeps one horse at pasture in th
meadow near' the permanent camp.
In summer he passes much of his time
on the mountain, returning usually to bis
tent tt night', but not Infrequently Sleeping
out. When be Bleeps in his tent he keeps
his horse at night in the corral,
v When he sleep out he seldom dares to
picket hi horses let they be attacked by
mountain lion and killed or Injured.
Sometime be thinks It eaf to picket ft
horse close to hi own sleeping place, for
If anything disturbs the creature the ranger
will ! aroused end ean drive oft the In
truder by rtrlng hla big revolver.
He ha drilled hla horses to manage them
selves perfectly when picketed. This was
a -delicate task, for a horse Is likely to get
tangled n the picket line and then to throw
himself and receive Injury.
The drill consisted In repeatedly letting
the horse graie at th end of the picket
line, prmlttln him to get tangled and to
throw himself In ah effort to kick loose.
After a time a horse of ordinary intelli
gence learn that If he will kick with the
entagled foot only he can get loose without
fall. Thl once learned, the horse may,
with safety, be picketed when the mountain
lions are not likely to b abroad.
It I th duty of the ranger to follow up
oamplng parties and to see that they leave
no dangerous embers at their camping
places, to put out forest fires and to see
that cattlemen do not put too many cattle
or sheep on ft given area.
The effect of overstocking the ranges Is
to kill the grass, and prevent the storage of
moisture on the .ilghlands for the feeding
ot streams. The result is that Irrigated
lowlands are deprived of water.
The rangers are also more and more
studying the botanical condition and apti
tudes of their ranges.
This particular ranger occasionally rides
nearly W0 mile In three days. This he
ordinarily accomplishes with two horses,
one a pack horse and the Other under sad
dle. If need be he transfer the pack to the

By way of relief 'from the loneliness ef

meetings' with camping parties in th

With fellow rangers whom he meet In tha

BLACK TDM'S VENGEANCE
By J. . KHt.
J ' ..' . ,
W agapxapxapxapxapxapHsj 11 I
In the freshness of a bright June morn
ing a young men was loading sacks of
wneftt On a Wagon fwvrked 'up to tha door
of a red granary. He was not tall, but
was "wide out." and hla bare brown arms
hardened like tee when be tostcd the
filled sack to his shoulder. From the bin
to the wagon was a dosen paces, and each
time he carried out a sack a child Jn a
pink dree and sunbontet toddled at bis
heels;
"Doln' "twit. ncwT" the child asked, after
each sack was deposited 1ft th Wagon. '
"Pretty soon." the young man would
answer, and return for another load. When
th wagon waa HUM he took the child
In hi arm ftnd dosed th door to keep
out the flock of noisy hens.
There were striking points of resem
blance between the child and th young
man, the same blue eye, tha earn firm
ness about mouth and chin. His hair was
darker than hers, now, but th lock his
mother kept in th old album could lie
unnoticed among Letty's tresses. People
cabled them twins, although Frank waa 1
and Letty waa only 1
Around were the comfortable buildings
and signs of thrift of th typical .Nebraska
farm. Aorosa th road the south eighty,
which a weak ago ahowed green line on
a dark background running in squares ftnd
diagonals, was fast becoming an emerald
eft of rustling blade. Hots grunted lazily
In the sunehln tnd the munching of horses
at hay Came from the Open barn door. Out
In the pasture the cattle bad scattered,
eagerly feeding on tha tender grass before
the hot, midday sun should drive them to
shade. Apart from the others ' on a knoll
that commanded a view of house and bam
Black Tom, ft Poll-Ahgus, 'wat itanaihg
pawing dirt over his back and sending out
deep grumbling botes ot moody discontent.
A young red Durham had been brought
on the place the e'venThg before, and waa
even now pacing Up and down the barn
yard. Black Tom had locked horns with
this Intruder In a brief contest that morn
ing, but Frank had run out with a stinging
whip and separated them, and Tom had
gone sullenly to th pasture.
"Naughty old Toml" said ths ..child,
pointing: to the pasture.
"Yes," said Frank, "Tom Is bad."
"Tom hurt babyT" asked the child.
"No, Tom won't hurt baby."
Letty sat down on the barn floor to build
a house of corncobs, and Frank got a box
of grease and ft wrench and begin to
grease a, riding plow. A woman came to
th door of the house and called:
"I Letty there, Frank f "
"In the barn her," he answered. "But
you'd best keep ftn ey oh her when I go
to the field. Black Tom might get out
"Well, bring her to th house before you
go."
Mrs. Lane had turned and gone back Into
the house when ft Crash of breaking boards
ftnd snapping wires came from the barn
yard. Frank sprang up and tan to the
bam en'tfy for his Whip. - x
"Come and get Letty, mother," he called,
"the Durham is Out."
Mrs. Lane hurried from the house tnd
Frank waa off down th road after the fu
gitive. The Durham Waa trotting along,
rumbling defiance to hi blaok antagonist
on the hill. Frank mad a detour ftnd ap
peared In front of hi path, but the Durham
had no intention of stopping. With head
up and eye fixed on the object ot his
hatred In the pe.stu.-o he came steadily for
ward, unheeding the insignificant biped In
the road. "II-U y-il h-a-o-ot" Frank
yelled, and Waved his arm and Whip across
the path, but th Durham did not oheck
his pace. Then th long whip Writhed and
hissed through the air and tha white tip
cane down on the' bull' hose with the
crack ot a toy pistol. The Durham stopped,
with head down, and bellowed aavagely
ftnd shook his polished horns. The ani
mal's eyes biased with wrath, tnd his
breath blew lip clouds of dust on either
side. Frank cracked the whip again and
shouted, and the bull winced tn apprehen
sion and visibly weakened. Another shout
and singing of the lash before hi eyes
and ha turned with deep-voiced muttering
toward the barn.
Black Tom, meanwhile, had Sniffed the
smoke of battle from afar and was eager
for the fray. Ha twisted his head through
fheTence and threw his weight forward.
There was a twang of tightening wires
over his huge neck, then a snap! and h
waa out. When Frank got back as far as
the gate with the Durham, Black Tom was
tn the road ready to face them. Tha two
animals met wlttl . ft shock that all but
brought the lighter Durham to his knees.
Frank hurried op, whip In hand, to part
them, but hi blows felt as unheeded on
their tough bide as tha breeaea that
fanned them. There were .charges and
counter charges, strategic flank movements
that threatened disaster to the one or th
other, only to be met and cleverly parried.
Black Tom was .th heavier, but the Dur
ham waa nimble. .1
"Bo careful, Frank," called JMrs. Lane
from the porch. Letty was anxiously
holding hor hand.
Black Tom was slowly pushing th Dur
ham Into tha corner by the scale yard, and
Frank was anxious lest the young animal,
which his father had Just purchased, should
be seriously injured. He charged again
on the combatants, and awlhglhg his Whip
brought It down on Black Tom's neck.
The animal flinched and turned his head
sldewVy. This was th opportunity for
which the Dtirhnm'had been watching. He
leaped forward and caught his enemyln
the side, and Black Tom bellowed with
pain. With the fight changed to ft victory
one one side tnd a rout on th other it
became an easier matter to separata them.
The Durham waa run into a stall la the
barn to prevent a repetition ot the morn
ing adventure, and Black Tom was headed
again toward th pasture. , Both animal
wera qulisering from heat and exhaustion,
but Black Tom waa unwilling to give up
the fight. Whether he considered that he
had fur felted his position as lord of the
herd, or whether be waa nursing secret
plana for revenge could not be told. At
any . rate, he objected to leaving the barn
yajVJ. Hot and out of patience, he walked
aVong deliberately, stopping at Intervals to
Throw ft cloud ot dust over his back and
to give vent to sullen war notes. When
ha cam to the creek ha left the road and
stood knee-deep in mud snd water till It
pleased him to go on. Frank, who had
passed his life on ft stock farm, knew that
Black Tom would not endure mora whip
ping, so he sat down by th roadside to
give him time. By working quietly with
him he got him to the pasture gate and
turned him in; but Black Tom wat In no
mind to ttay. He started along the fenc
and Frank followed, deciding to drive btm
over th bill to th other cattle.
Half way up the hill Black Tom faced
about with lowered bead, and Frank felt
hi pulses beating quickly a a thought of
possible danger flashed through his mind.
Yet Black Tom had been so long on the
farm tnd bad so often blustered that
Frank felt no real fear, and now h ad
vanced quickly and cracked 'the whip tn
the face of tha tnraared animal. Blowly
Black 'Tom backed away, letting his vote
echo his rago ftnd Impotence over hill and
plain. Aft answering trumpet call cam
from the distant barn, and at this Black
Tom stopped resolutely and refused to go
on. "U-o-oayl" FYank shouted and shook
his wrtp, but Black Tom did not hear b(m.
He did aot aea him; he was looking at
so ice new object Frank glanced ever hit
shoulder and hit heart stood still. A pink
butterfly was dancing up the hill It the
yellow softshin kftef him.
"Letty 1 Letty' 1" h screamed. "Go back!
Oo back!"
Black Tom had started down the hill,
with head lifted and wild staring eyes Axed
On the pink butterfly. His black coat glis
tened ftnd bis heavy Shoulder moved pon
derously at he trotted toward the baby.
Net-velee tnd rick with horror Frank ran
to keep between th animal and the Child.
Black Tom took this change ot tactic a
a challenge and mad a lunge for Frank,
with bead low tnd yes gleaming. Frank
struck out desperately with the whip and
dodged as th beast came. Black Tom
went by htm with ft rush, carrying him
down with ft glancing blow from the shoul
der. Frank Wa on bis feet in an Instant
looking for Letty. 6he wa near the fenc
ftnd might yet reach It; but what protection
Would ft fenc be If Black Tom choae to
Ire through itf Frsnk was running toward
her when ft thought came to him that
turned blm In another direction. If -Black
Tom would follow him Letty might escape
unnoticed I tt was a desperate ha sard and
his own chances would be lessened, since
the fence in hi direction was nearly twice
as tar away.
Black Tom' plunge at Frank bad been
down bill, ftnd bit own momentum carried
him tome distance beyond his mark. .When
be fttopped th pink dress wat flaunting di
rectly In front ot his eyes. Black Tom
tnorted and started toward tha hateful ob
J set. Frank tore a red handkerchief from
his pocket ahd ran forward. Waving It and
Shouting. Black Tom Stopped ahd looked
at thl hew torment, then he wheeled In
hi course and came toward Frank.
There Waa no longer fear for Latty't
safety. Even as be ran Frank saw, by a
aide glance, bis mother Coming frantically
down the road to meet the baby; but b
knew that he wa running for his own life
tnd the knowledge lent wings to his feet.
The thud of his pursuer's hoofs cam
nearer and nearer. The fenoe wa too far
away, he could not possibly reach it It
seemed to him that he could feel the ground
trerhbt beneath the lunge of hla pursuer.
Then the animal's hot breath "Waa against
him and his flesh quivered, anticipating
the Cruel thrust. A sharp blow on the back.
a dutl nightmare of ft black object passing
over him, and ha wag panting on the
ground with the tunshlne streaming tn hi
face.
' Frank bad stepped In ft hole ahd fallen.
ftnd by one of those strange accidents Which
occasionally happen, th brute had gone
over without trampling him. He was on
hi feet In an Instant, ready to make an
other dash for his life. HI Whip had been
dropped and he Wa entirely defenseless.
Black Tom had recovered from the force
of hla run and waa coming back. Frank
whirled to th tide, and as he did so hi
hand struck ft hard substance and he
stopped and looked. It was a heavy stake
driven into the ground. In that brief, ter
rlble moment Frank remembered how It
eamo there. The year before, when he was
making the hew fence, he had set It up for
ft nag pole. He seised the stake and with
ft quick wrenoh tore it from th ground.
Ths firmness and weight of the piece of
wood cooled his beating temples and trans
formed his muscles Into hard, unyielding
knots. He was no longer a helpless crea
ture without means cf defense. With his
Strong muscles and young blood that solid
hickory club made him a dangerous ad
versary. Black Tom wa almost upon blm before
he could turn, but he had time to give the
stake one ewlnt. Whirlieg It over his head
he leaped aside and brought It down with
ft thud back of th ear. Black Tom went
down on hi knees but was Instantly on his
feet, swinging for another lunge. The
hickory club went bp again, and again It
fell, leaving Black Tom In a heap on the
grass. The latter Was loth to give up the
fight, and a third time be arose and became
th aggressor; but bis limbs were trembling
and his aim uncertain. A well directed
blow back of the ear stretched him limn On
the ground, wher he lay the remainder ot
the day.
How he got out of the pasture Frank
never knew. His next distinct recollection
wss of sitting beside the creek, with his
mother bathing hi forehead and temples.
xeiiy was saying:
"Bad old Tom. Bad old Tom hurt baby."

COUPLE BANNED, YET BLESSED
CIerrastsi Mocks Church Roles Gov.
eralna; Remarriage ef Divorced
Parsons.
A novel and Interesting development of
me question or divorce and remarriage Is
reported from the city of Trenton, N. J. A
man and a woman, one of whom at least
had been divorced from a former partner
In unsuccessful matrimony, appeared be
fore a Well known mlnlstap nt tha
terlan church with request that hs cele
brate the triumph of hope over experience
by uniting them In holy wedlock. Th
minister appears to have regarded their
desire with sympathy, .and perhaps with
individual approval. But he rightly ro
garded himself as bound by th rules Of
the church of which he waa a minister,
and thus was constrained, however re
luctantly, to decline the office. HI Interest
In their prospective conugal welfare led
him, however, to bear them company into
th pretence of a Justice of th supreme
court and when th latter had united
them a husband and wlf In civil contract
the minister added hla blessing by pro
nuonclng benediction upon ft marrlag
which he could not perform.
The novelty of this performance will, we
think, appeal to all. W do not remember
with confidence any prototype of It In all
the variegated history of marriage and
divorce. The Interest cf It Is no less ob
vious. It oets forth, in the first place, th
admlrabje loyalty of a clergyman to th
rule, of hi. church, even when In an In
