Now tho garish light of day streamed through the windows, but the electric cluster still flung down ils yellow glare upon the table. The men were in their , shirtsleeves. Big broad-sliouldered fellows they were, with the marks of the outdoors hard-riding West upon them. No longer young, they were still full of the vigor and energy of unflagging strength. From-, bronzed :faces looked steady unwinking eyes with humorous creases around the corners, hard eyes that judged a. man uand his claims ' shrewdly and wltfi^good temper. Most : of them had made good in the land, j and their cattle fed npon a thousand hills. The least among them physically was Luck Cullison, yet he was their j recognized leader. There was some Innate quality in this man with the ; gray, steel-chilled eyes that marked j him as first in whatever-company he J chose to frequent. A good friend and , a good foe, men thought seriously be-: fore they opposed him. He had made j himself a power In the Southwest be-1 cause he was the type that goes the j limit when aroused. While Alec Flandrau shuffled and j iieair, me piayers reiaxeu. ; were relit, drinks ordered. Converse- j tion reverted to the ordinary topics that interested Cattleland. The price: of cows, the good rains, the time of' the fall roundup, were touched upon. I The door opened to let in a new-1 comer, a slim,- -graceful man much j younger than the others present, and one whose costume and manner brought additional color into the pic- j lure. Flnndrau, senior, continued to j shuffle without turning his head. Cul-; lison also had his hack to the dqor,, but the man hung his broad-rimmed gray hat on the rack?beside an ex-i actly similar one that belonged to the | owner of the Circle C?and moved leisurely forward till he was within; range of his vision. "Going to prove up soon on the Del, Oro claim of yours, Luck?" asked Flandruu. He was now dealing," his eyes on; the cards, so that"he missed the em-' barrassmcnt in the faces of those about him. "On Thursday, the first day the law allows," Cullison answered quietly. Flnndrau chuckled. "I reckon Cass Fendrick will be some sore." Something in the strained silence struck the dealer as unusual. He looked up and showed a momentary W 11 I VI.-MUiJ. "Didn't know you were there, Cass.1 Looks like I put my foot in it sure that time. I ee'tainly thought you: were an absentee," lie apologized. "Or you wouldn't have been talking I about rue." retorted Fendrick acidly. j 1'0r You Wouldn't Have Been Talkinj! About Me," Retorted Fendrick. The words were flung at Flandrau, 4>u plainly they were meant as a challcngi tor Cullison. Fendrick passed to the rear roon for a drink. His impudence nrodot fortifying, for he knew that since In hud embarked in the sheep business hi was not welcome at this club, that ii fact certain members had suggostoi his name be dropped from the hooks' Before he returned to the poker tabh' the drink he had ordered becann three. * The game was over and account:' were being straightened. Cullisot was the heavy loser. The settlmncn showed that the owner of the Circh C was twenty-five hundred dollars lie ' hind the lib. owed Mackcuzii! ?^ cZeodlZsine / j DTLL?ITS[GKAJ4 COMPANY j twelve hundred, Flandrau lour hun- I ;dml, and three hundred to Yosier. With Fend rick .sittings in an easy chair just across th6 room, he found ! i si .'Kilo (liDiciilt to say what other.<!se would nave boon a matter of Course. "My hank's busted just now. boys. Have to ask you to let it stand for a few days?say till the end of the week." Keiulrick laughed behind the paper he was pretending to read. He knew quite well that Luck's word was as good as Ids bond, but he chose to suggest a doubt. "Maybe you'll explain the joke to us. Cass," the owner of the Circle C said ve.:y quietly. "Oh, I was just laughing at the things I see. Luck," returned the younger man with' airy ofTenne, his eyes on the printed sheet. "Any law against laughing?" Cullison turned his back on him. "See you on Thursday if that's soon enough, boys." Without looking again at Kendrick he led the way to the street. The young man. left nlone, cursed softly to himself and ordered another drink. He knew he was overdoing It. but the meeting with Cullison had annoyed blm exceedingly. ' The men had never been friends and of late years they had been leaders of hostile camps. Colli of them could be overbearing. Mid there was scarcely a week but their interests overlapped. Finally had come open hostility. Cass leased from the forestry department the land upon which Cullison's cattle hud always run free of expense. Upon this he had put sheep, a thing in itself of j great Injury to the cattle interests, j The stockmen had all been banded to gather in opposition to tlie forestry adniinistration of the new regime, and Luck regarded Fendrick's action as treuyhery to the couimon cause. 11c struck hard. In Arizona the open range is valuable only so long as the water holes also are common property or a private supply available. Tlie Circle C cattle and those! of Fendriek euitie down from tlie range I to the Del Oru to water at a point where the canyon walls opened to a spreading valley. This bit of meadow Luck liomesteaded and fenced on the north side, thus cutting the cattle of Ills enemy from the river. Cass was furious. He promptly tore down the fence to let his cattle and sheep through. Cullison rebuilt it. put e.p a shack at a point which commanded the approach, and set a guard upon it day and night. Open warfare had ensued, and one of the sheep herders had been beaten because he persisted in crossing the dead line. Now Cullison was going to put the legal seal on the matter by making liual proof on his homestead. Cas< ki.ew that'if lie did so it would practically put him out of business, lie | would be at the mercy of Ids foe, who could ruin him if he pleased. Luck would lie in a position to dictate terms absolutely. Fotidrieiv felt that there must he some way out of the trap If lie could only lind it. Whenever the thought of ....t;.,.. t, utiili in t,iu tn I.in*!: on tint into ! vuiutn x'?v- ... his liiinil tlit* rage boiled in liini. lie ; swore lie would not do It. Better u i hundred times to see the thing out to n lighting finish. Taking the hruad-briinined gray hat | lie found on the rue!: Cass passed out j of the clubhouse and into the sun- | bathed street. Cullison and his friends proceeded ' down I'apago street to the old plaza ; where their hotel was located. All j along the route they scattered nods of | recognition, friendly greetings and genial banter. One of tliein?the man who had formerly been the hard-riding, quick-shooting sheriff of the county?met also scowls once or twice, to which lie was entirely indifferent. He hud made enemies, desperate and unscrupulous ones, who had sworn to wipe liitu from among the living, and one of those he was now to meet for the first time since the man had stood handcuffed before him, livid with fury, j and hud sworn to cut his heart out at j the earliest chance. It was in the lobby of the lintel that | Cullison came plump against Luie j Blackwoll. For just a moment tliey | stared :tt each other before the former J sheriff spoke. "(mil again, eh, Black well?" he said i easily. From tlie bloodshot eyes one could ' have told at a jrlnnce the man had | been drinking heavily. From whisky j he had imbibed a Dutch courage just: hold enough to in; dangerous. "Ves; I'm out?and back again, just as 1 promised, Mr. Sheriff," be threat-j etied. Tito cattleman ignored, ids manner.! "Then 1*11 give you n piece of advice J gratis. l'apago county litis grown j away from the old days. It lias got! past the two-gun man. lie's gone to ( join the antelope and the painted Indian." Tlie fellow leaned forward, sneering i so that Ids ugly mouth looked like aD crooked gash. "How about the one-1 , gun man, Mr. Sheriff?" "He doesn't Inst long now." "Doesn't lie?" The man's rage boiled over. But Luck was far and away the quicker of the two. llis left hand shot forward and gripped the rising wrist, his right caught the hairy throat and tightened on It. He shook the convict a" if he had been a child, and flung him, black in the face, against j the wall, where he hung, strangling and sputtering. "I?I'll get you yet," the rufliun panted. But he did not again attempt to reach for the weapon in his hip jjuvnci. "You talk too much with your mouth." With superb contempt Luck slapped him, turned on his heel, and moved away, regardless of the raw, starklust to kill that was searing this man's elemental brain. The paroled convict recovered his breath and slunk out of the hotel. Billie Mackenzie, owner of the Fid dleback ranch, laughed even while he disapproved. , "Some day, Luck, you'll get yours when you are throwing chances at a coyote like this. ? t ^ Hfs Right Caught the Hairy Throat. You'll guess your man wrong, of he'll be one glass drunker thnn you figure on, and then he'll plug you through and through." "The man that takes chances lives longest, Ulnc," his friend replied, dismissing the subject carelessly. "I'm going to tuck away about three hours of sleep. So long." And with a nod he was gone to his room. "All the same Luck's too derned rash," Flandrau commented. "And he hadn't ought to be sitting in these hig games, lie's hard up. Owes a good hit here and there. Always was n spender. First thing he'll have to sell the Circle C to square tilings. He'll pay ns this week like he said he would., That's dead sure. Cut 1 swear I don't know where he'll raise the price. Money is so tight right now." That afternoon Luck called at every bank in Saguache. All of the hankers knew him and were friendly to him. but in spite of their personal regard they could do nothing for him. "It's this stringency. Luck." Jordan of the Cattlemen's National explained to him. "I'd let you have't if I dared. Why, we're running close to the wind. I'uhlic confidence is a mighty ticklish tiling. If I didn't have twenty thousand coining from El 1'aso on the Flyer tonight I'd be uneasy for the hank." "Twenty thousand on the Flyer. 1 reckon you ship by express, don't you ?" "Yes. Don't mention it to anyone. That twenty thousand would come hanHy to n good many people In this country these times." "It would come right handy to me," Luck laughed ruefully. "I need every cent of it. After the beef roundup I'll be on Easy street, but It's going to be hard sledding to keep going till then." "You'll muke n turn somehow. It will work out. Maybe when money Isn't so tight I'll be able to do something for you." Luck returned to the hotel morosely and tried to figure a way out of his ditticulties. He was not going to be beaten. He never bud accepted defeat. He would not lose out after all these years of fighting. It had been his desperate need of money that had made him sit in last night's poker game But he hud succeeded only in making a bad situation worse. He knewi, his debts by heart, but he jotted them down on the back of an envelope and added them again.

Luck's fingers gave expression to his thoughts. Twenty thousand dollars. Half a dozen times they penciled It. and just below the figures, "W. & S. Ex. Co." Finally they wrote auto i mntically the one word, "Tonight." Luck looked at what be laid written, laughed grimly, and tore the envelope In two. lie threw the pieces in the j waste paper basket.

WAS RETURNED TO HIS OWN PEOPLE Did Not Knew How to Speak When Caught but Grunted and Growled Like Wild Thing?Walked on Ali Fours. (From N. Y. Sun.) Bombay. Tndfa, Dec. 1.?This is the story of a native boy who was stolen by a leopard, brought up in the jungle and returned to his owri people as a snarling animal child, running around on all fours. The story is reported from the North Cacher Hills, on India's northeastern' frontier, by Stuart Baker, Fellow of the Zoological Society, in 'the journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. Mr. Baker had been in charge of the forced labor l'or road mending near the village of Dhunghi. Forced labor in many parts of India takes the place of direct taxation. While there he was confronted one day by a native who said his wife recently had died and he was the only one to look after his little wild son if he were taken away to work, the hoy would run hack to the jungle. Mr. Baker went outside of the court house to see the "wild son" and there was a hoy about seven years old, squatting on the ground like an animal. As Mr. Baker'came nearer the boy put his head in the air and sniffed about finishing by bolting on all fours to his father, between whose legs he backed like a beast retreating into his burrow. Looking closely ;at the hoy, Mr. Baker says that ho wan nearly blind from some form of cataract and his body was covered with innumerable white scars from "tiny cuts and scratches. The hoy's father told the story, which Mr. Baker believes to be true. About five years before Mr. Baker saw the father and son, the Cachari native had killed two leopard cubs. After the mother tracked the slayers back to the village; she haunted the outskirts for two days. The third day a woman cutting rice' in a plantation close to the village laid down her baby boy on a cloth while she went on with her work. 1 Hearing a cry she'turned and saw a leopard bounding riway and carrying the child. She 'fCrfi'to the village and everyone started'-dn a hunt for the leopard. It was n!'-baffling search. It was finally decided'that the child then two years, hadf been eaten by the leopard. Three years later a Sportsman killed a female Tebpa'rd close"to the village. He reported that she' had three cubs with hef that tie failed to take. On bearing this the Villagers started to hunt lor the cubs. They found two cubs and a boy, the ho/ of Mr. Baker's story. Subsequently when 'visiting Dhunghl Mr. Baker interviewed the head man and also the man who had caught the child. They both corroborated the father's story in every detail. When the child was caught, it was found he could run on all fours almost as fast as an adult can run on two legs and that in (lodging in and out of bushes he was a miracle of quickness. At that time he was suffering from cataract only to a slight extent and he could see fairly well. But his sight became steadily worse. His knees, even when Mr. Baker saw liiin. had hard callosities on them and his loos were upright almost at right angles to his instep. The palms of his hands and the pads of his toes and lingers were also covered with a very tuugli, horny skin, lie hit and fought with everyone who came within his reach and any village fowl that came IIJill W?IS MIMZUU, LUUI HI piticva | and eaten with extraordinary rapidity. When brought before Mr. Baker the hoy had become more or less tamed, lie walked almost upright, although generally assuming a crouching altitude. But when suddenly startled he would n off on all fours in rapid motion. As his blindness increased he seemed to know by scent those villagers who took an interest in him and he was very friendly. For a long time he could not lie made to sleep in his father's hut. He was tied with a rope and left to wander into tlie grass and make his bod. But now lie has been trained to sleeping inside. Of course?and this lias nothing to do with his leopard life? he has not been introduced to clothes; no Cichari child of tender years is. When caught he did not know how i to speak; but grunted and growled like an animal; now he is gradually learning his native tongue. He has an exceptional development of muscle for a child of his years; he was live i years old when captured, but his j strength was such that it took two i men to handle him. The hoy's blindness apparently is in i no way connected with his life in the I jungle. .Another child of the same ] mother and the mother herself had the < same form of cataract. At the same 1 time his defective sight may well have i inlensiiicd his sense of smell, the loss I of one sense teaching him to rely on the other. 1 The whole yarn sounds like fiction, ; of the sort started by Hudyard Kipling in his "Jungle Book" with the ad- 1 ventures of.Mowglin and still popular in : the "Tarzan" series. Hut there is I precedent for the story outside of tic- J tion. Shortly before the war a native girl who had been living with mon- < keys was brought into Xaini Tal. She j apparently had spent some nine years, t in the jungle. She preferred to eat 1c glass am! chapaltics and sal and he- j ; liaved in most respects as a monkey. I; CHEAPER FERTILIZER Agricultural Department Announces Revolutionary Discovery. What may prove to be a revolutionary ilevclopemnt in tlie fertilizer Industry of the world has been reached by the Dureau of Soils, United"States | Department of Agriculture, which has just solved the problem of extracting phosphoric acid from phosphate rock by healing mixtures of this mineral, sand and coke to a smelting temperature in a fuel-fed furnace. The new process has been worked out on an approximately commercial basis at the department's experimental plant at Arlington, Va. The phosphate used Cor fertilizer in t.hc United States comes. largely from the deposits of rock in Florida. There are also large deposits in Tennessee and a number of beds in South Carolina where*the rock was iirst exploited for this purpose. The established method for producing soluable phos phato has consisted in treating the rock with suLphuric acid. In practice, a quantity of sulphuric equal to the quantity of rock is used, and the resulting product which is known as acid phosphate contains only one-half the percentage of phosphoric acid contained in the rock from which it was derived. Commercial acid phosphate, for instance, made from a 32 per cent, rock contains only 1G per cent, of the phosphoric acid. The elaborate washing and screening process now used in preparing phosphate rock for treatment, with sulphuric acid often results in the ioss of two-thirds of the rock, and it was with a view to saving this immense waste of phosphate that the new process was evolved. The practical value of the new development' is indicated by the fact that, in the experimental runs at Arlington the department chemjsLs were able to recover a G4 per cent, phosphoric acid (47 per cent, t\ O.) as against the 1G per cent, product ordinarily obtained Ivy the sulphuric-acid process. By passing ammonia gas into tlds phosphoric acid solid ammonium phosphate, a very concentrated material containing two valuable fertilizer ingredients, results*. This material can stand heavy transportation and handling charges. It is nlso practicable to mix the phosphoric acid with phosphate rock in such proper tions as to give a product containing 50 per cent, of solu'able phosphoric acid. This product is similar in its properties to ordinary 16 per cent, acid phosphate, is convenient to handle, and may be used by an intelligent farmer who has the technical knowledge to reduce the quantity placed upon the soil, and to guard against direct; contact with seed. It also will permit a material saving in freight to central plants where the product may be diluted or mixed with other ingredients for shorter hauls. The. difference between a 50 per cent, product and .a 16 per cent, product means an immense saving in the freight charges, and the release of large quantities of rolling stock and vessel tonnage now engaged in the transportation of phosphate and phosphate rock. While the uctuul cost of the new process in a large industrial plant is clifllcult to estimate with accuracy, in the work thus far done, even on a small scale, it was found that the fuel consumption was only about 15 per cent, of the value of the product, while with the sulphuric-acid process the cost of the acid used seldom runs below 112 per cent. This factor, together with the reduction of freight charges, justifies the assumption that the new process will he of the utmost importance to the fertilizer industry and to the farmers who ai'e compelled to use a constantly increasing amount of commercial fertilizer. CEMETERY FOR PETS Massachusetts Town Possesses Unusual Graveyard. Fresh wreaths of evergreen placed on tiny graves in Fine Ridge cemetery for cats and dogs bear testimony that former family pets are not forgotten," says a Derlham, Mass., dispatch. The cemetery, the only one for animals in this part of the country, is controlled by the Animal Rescue League and now contains 400 graves. The lot is located in a sunny little valley. In its center with a hackground of green shrubbery is a tablet surmounted by the statue of a white poodle, sitting up as if begging for attention. The inscription reads: "To the many dogs who have given their liver, in the service of man." The path from the road loads through a grape arbor and down rustic steps to a stone house. Here the master or mistress of a dead pet may rest while the grave Is being dug. In the winter when the ground is too hard to admit burial, there is a receiving vault where the body is kept until spring. There is also a crematory operated by the Animal Rescue League at a charge of a few dollars for sach cremation. A plain granite cube over one grave is marked: "In Memory of Master Bil ly At'liss." This is the l:ist resting: place of the fluffy white terrier of George Arliss. the actor. Bill died last winter while Mr. Arliss was playing In Boston, and his owner bought a lot and- erected the memorial. A little further on is the burial plot >f "Fee." companion of Elizabeth Stuart I'helps Ward, the authoress. Fairy, a white Pomeranian, has Iter photograph embedded in a headstone and the epitaph roads: "Our Little Blind Fairy. Passed from Darkness Into Light, Easter, 1907." In an ont-of the way grave in the orner of the cemetery is suggested a aory of feline devotion. The clodica-' ion reads: "Dewcv. lie was only a at, Iml he was human enough to be i. great comloil in hours of sickness iml pain." "l Had Lot of Bad Luck.?W. C. Bishop a good citizen. Jiving in Floyd township, on the James Workman place near Belfast, has met with lots of bad luck recently; which falls heavily on him, for he is a man of limited means. His livestock consisted of a colt, a mule and a cow. A few days ago he was breaking the colt to work. Being a "fractious" animal, it was cutting up and trying to run away, when in a desperate plunge it fell and broke its neck. The next day a fire occurred on the farm, destroying hot "only" .all his corn and fodder and other feed, but burning to death his horse and mule and badly injuring bis cow.?
