“Of course I could operate it," she
challenged. “And I shall The cattle

“I wish I could agree with you, but
I find that Impossible. Our mnch was
mortgaged to a San Francisco bank,
but recently. Babson bought It from
them—” v-
“He has a hen on," said Nate Tlche-

“Did he say anything about the

“Yes, he said we were to have it
and that he’d wyite home about it as
soon as he got the opportunity. So I
told him you’d already promised to
let my people have It and that pleased
him. And I promised him I’d be n
good neighbor and fight as hard for
the Kershaws hereafter as our clan
had ever fought against them. That
affected him very deeply and he
dragged me off the road and ww
tion and hydro-slsctrle possibilities of
Eden Valley. He proposes to play
Nat* against Lorry, assuming that
they are carrying on th* old feud, in
this way setting control of the key
lands necessary to the project. Nats,
however, has no intention of carrying

CHAPTER V—Continued
The deputy sheriff rolled a comical
•ye at the editor. "I haven’t seen the
boy since he was In high school here,
but from what little I know o’ his
tribe I should say none o’ that breed
•ver made a threat They made prom
ises—an’ kept ’em.”
“I sized him up that way," the edi
tor replied.
After eliciting from Bralnerd all th*
news the latter had, Mr. Rooney
•trolled away to distribute his tidbit
of gossip around Valley Center. Al
most the first place he went was to
the Rank of Valley Center. Henry
Rookby, in charge during Baboon’s
absence, received him.
“I see young Nate Tlchenor’s back
In the country. An' Ranee Kershaw’s
kicked th* bucket Died o' heart dis
ease right smack In front of the Bar
H gate, an’ Nate Tlchenor an’ Lorry
Kershaw’ve been in town together an’
thlcker’n thieves."
"When the cat’s away the mice’ll
play,' I suppose. Who told you all
this?"
“Bralnerd. Tlchenor was in an’
gave him the story."
"That Nate Tlchenor’s a bad lot,"
Mk Rookby murmured darkly. “I
Dover liked him. D’ye mean to tell me
he's around with Lorry Kershaw now,
helping her out in her trouble?"
. Mr. Rooney nodded.
“Tlw hypocrite I He’s back here to
■mash the Kershaw outfit Not an
other veason in life. Bill Ranee Ker
shaw's estate must owe Tlchenor
more'n three hundred thousand dollars
an’ for the past three years old Ranee
has been using clam shells and wo<m^
peckers* heads for money. Interest
ing situation. Very interesting.”
When he turned to wait on a cus
tomer Mr. Rooney continued on to the
Valley Center garage to discharge an
other toad of his Interesting informa
tion.
Arrived back at the Circle K head
quarters with Lorry Kershaw, and
Miss Lizzie Bachman, Nate Tlchenor,
after the fashion of a rural neighbor,
dtff the chores. He realized that, with
the men all away, Lorry would have
had to do them.
He ate his dinner In silence, for both
he and Lorry were acutely aware of the
presence of Miss Bachman and dis
trusted her. After dinner he kindled a
log fire in the living room fireplace.
He was a straight, well-set-up young
min, not overly thick but muscular;
he had a little crescent out of his left
ear and ^ faint white scar about three
Inches long ran across his left temple
and disappeared Into bis hair. His
teeth were strong, even, white and
well cared for. His nose, thin .and
high and a fraction too long, tended to

Air of distinction. It was the nose
of g thoroughbred, a thinker. His-oye^
brows, heavy and almost black, were
« bit overhanging, thus giving to his
glance an expression of alertness and
directness, particularly when he asked
one a question.
Lorry had already observed that he
moved with quick, precise motions,
like one very sure of himself and In
the pink of physical condition.
About elght-thlny the nurse retired;
••.her bedroom door closed behind her
Nate Tlchenor arose, shoved an easy

•he had seated herself.
“Too bad your father wasn’t here
when I called thla morning. I might
bare preserved his life for many
years." Tlchenor snapped his fingers.
"•Kismet!" he murmured.

“1 thank yon more than I can say.

“I met yoor brother, • Owen, In

there w* stuck. There was an infan

“What did Owen say?” the girl
asked softly.
“Nothing, Miss Lorry. His face
sort of twisted. You see, w* were
all exhausted and hungry and thirsty
and we'd been through a lot of mud
and blood and I suppose we eacb had

murmured. “So fcopeless and bitter—

Nate Tlchenor slept at the Bar H

Antelopes Are Among . Most Deceitful
of All Wild Animals; Despise People
Visitors to zoos have nothing but
kind words- and sympathy for opo-
group of animals on exhibit—the an
telopes. The graceful build, expres
sive eyes and the dainty manner In
which they handle their food and step
around their enclosures perhaps Is ac
countable for this. Yet the truth is,
says a writer in the Detroit News, that
there Is no single group of wild ani
mals more feared by their keepers and
ot • more vicious and treacherous na
ture than these same creatures, be
they gnus, hartebeests, waterbucks,
Blesboks. reedbucks, Impalas, oryx*,
springbucks, kudus or any one of the
dozen or more “gentle-eyed" gazelles.
There Is hardly s zoo In existence
that has not recorded either serious
or fatal encounters with these ani
mals.
Antelopes are among the most de
ceitful of all wild animals They may
appear kind, gentle and lovable and
stir a desire on the part of the spec
tator to pet them. Apparently they
are the personification of contentment
and trustfulness, bat larking under
their hide Is a lasting desire to kill
which is likely to assert Itself at the
most unexpected, time. This is one

Antelope do not need our sympathy.
They live by right of hoof and horn

Hair worms are objects of curiosity,
not only to those who know their hab

the hair worms is by no means com-
piete. it is known that the eggs are
laid In water, and that the young
worms begin their lives as free mov

of aquatic insects which in turn are
eaten by fish. After a time they are
passed out of th* fish's stomachs into

of natural mineral water to relieve

what is known as secondary mineral

of their being present k this way
