he was—black woolen shirt, red neck-
erchief and nil -for men, just so iva;
he go'd enough ii.r any female that

There was movement there' Hounds
e>f commands. blows, profane epithets,
and worried bawlings changed the-
placid evening calm into noisy strife.
It is always a place interesting to

"Here. Hill Hrown!" he exclaimed
suddenly, "where- did you run ucross
that critter?" He slapped the shoul-
d« r of a big. raw boned, long eared
steer as he spoke. The animal was
on the point of being driven up the
shute.
"What you want to know for? asked
Brown in surprise.
"Reason nough. That critter be-
longs to us, thul's why : and I want to
know where you got him, that's what
I want to know."
"You're crazy, Jim! Why, I bought
that fellow from Jesse Black t' other

I'm shlppln' a couple of cars to Sioux

That's on the square."
