Apparently some progress has been made. Bids have been received of a highly competitive nature and well within the estimates made by the city engineer. So far so good. But a very important duty of the City Commission lies ahead. The provision for supplying the motive power to drive the pumps and deliver the water to the consumers is the final issue to be faced, not because the} commission deems it of less importance than the rest but | because the contracts are being taken up in their numerical . order. Public sentiment is practically unanimous in Bismarck to sever relations with any private utility in the delivery ot water and place that control wholly within the hands of the! City Commission. The cost of power is a material factor in the cost of water and the few thousands more necessary for the installation of the oil engines is insignificant in view sof the material saving made. Then too every city must have more than one supply of power for its pump If oil engines are installed there will! be at least two sources of power to draw upon in an emerg- | ency. It has been found advisable to provide auxiliary gas| engines so that at no time could the city be without power | to drive the pump If the city owns its system and then must enter | ‘into a contract with a private utility to pump the water at! any rate the state commission might see fit to fix, then Bis- | marck would be little better off for rate making would still | be in the hands of the state and the possibility of expensive ditigation alwz present. ' The vast saving to be made in the use of the oil engines | “for power to pump the water and light the city streets and} the public buildings of Bismarck is too great a consideration | “to be passed over lightly. REINDEER MEAT Will a large part of the meat supply come from Alaska and northern Canada—meat of the rein- deer. and caribou? Stefansson, the arctic explorer, thinks so.| Our government is getting around to a similar idea. It predicts, in a bulletin, that reindeer meat will soon have a large sale and be available in many parts of America. e In Alaska alone there are more than 100 herds of rein- deer, running wild, varying in size from 400 to 8000. head; aherd. Plenty of free grazing Iand for them up there:Still| more in Canada's Yukon and the northwest territories stretching eastward to Hudson Bay. Reindeer and caribou ranching is springing up as a new industry, growing swiftly. of our descendants pEreanneny i The first reindeer were imported into Alaska about 40 years ago by the far-sighted Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson. ut} took him 20 years to import 1280 head. From these sprang; the great herds of today. Wilfred Grenfell, the author and medical missionary, 18" introducing reindeer into Labrador. She writes us that a reindeer weighs more than two sheep, and that $600,000 | worth of reindeer meat will reach Chicago this year from ‘Nome, Alaska. | Some time ago the chief of the U. S. Biological Survey told a Congressional committee that in 20 years Alaska will) be exporting 1,250,000 reindeer carcasses a year. The purpose of building up this industry, of course, is to, ‘provide cheaper meat. But transportation. is a big obstacle. | :For instance, the reindeer that will be delivered in Chicago! for $600,000 this year will sell for $370,000 when they leave! ;Nome. The difference, $230,000 is transportation cost. Hl Another handicap is that reindeer meat has a gamey} flavor, like venison, which few people like. At least, it’s a cultivated taste. | We'cannot dodge the high cost of food by raising it at the far corners of the earth where land and labor are cheap.| Reindeer and caribou meat may be cheaper than beef, pork! or lamb now, but as soon as the demand is created up will} go the price. Profiteers will see to that. Like leeches, they will follow the meat industry north, the same as they now follow the gold rushes to exact extortionate tribute. The day is coming, however, with our rapidly increasing population, when America will need the reindeer and carl- bou of the far north as well as all the meat animals we; can’raise at home. Therefore, the reindeer and caribou will, not.enter into genuine competition with our domestic hogs, | stéet's and sheep. All will have a full market. | ~ We're developing a complicated civilization when we, veto go toward the north pole for enough to eat. GOLD RUSH VIA AIR ., Prospectors in airplanes will rush into Labrador to open up a new gold field. In Dollard, western Canada, the red-! coated mounted police think bandits who robbed a bank ar-| fived and departed by airplane. #;. A new air passenger service is announced: Zeppelins vilt operate between Boston, New York, New Orleans and 2San Diego. ‘ * Oh, yes, these flying machines “never will amount to uch,” as'the stagecoach driver said of the steam railroad en he heard a train had made its first trip.

Suddenly Rag Tag, the Ragsy pointed overheat! to a hole in the old chestnut tree. “Look!” he whis- pered. “There's a bird's sharp bill sticking oat! Someone was too lazy to come to our party.” “The very idea!” cried Mister Tat- ters indignantly. “I do believe it is Mister Flicker, for that’s where he lives.” . and the clouds stood still to Never had the meadow been “I've got an idea,” said Rag Ta “Let's climb the tree and push him inside and plaster the hole up with mud, Then he can’t get out until we're ready to let him. It may teach him a lesson in - manners.’ “Good,” laughed Mister Tatters. “Naney and Nick, you do it, will | you?” The Twins didn't want to very much, but after all it was only a joke and wouldn't last long, so up they climbed in their magic shoes.”| Pretty soon they slid down. “It’s all done,” they gaid to Mister Tat- ters. Suddenly Na there's Mister ker over there “Then who can the other be? Please go at once and look,” said the Ragsy Man. So up went the Twins again and dug out the mad, There was Mr. Brownie Man. “I got so tired, Iclimbed up here for forty winks,” he yawned, “and Someone shut me in.” “Oh, we're so sorry,” apologized Nancy, “But we thought the peak on your cap was Mister Flicker’s sharp bill. * # “I'll forgive you this time,” smil¢d the kind little Brownie man. \_ (To Be. inued) bf Service Inc, cried. “W Pim Pim, the All Brazil | too | | ‘orge | Sugar Lumps cost | time it} \ THE PRESS AGENT SEE WAAT | DIO FoR You? . fT WOULD CosT You & LoT* OF MONEY To GET ALL OF y maT PUBLICITY | LETTE TO LE OF COTT, CARE CRET DRAWER, I sometim tle Marquise whose love letters used to lie in this receptacle, ever found one that made her very sad. ‘Some | way the opes that I place here seem laaiydoreelna sala capinessolveme kind, { [can write my joys and— my |pleasures to’ my friends, but it {8 jonly to you, Leslie Prescott, tha’ jmay tell the things that bother me, that grieve me, For you see I have perhaps a pe- culiar a that no woman. should | find fault with her husband to any ‘other person, Not even to her {mother should she voice the slight-| ¢ m of him unless thing) ome so bad that she finds she jcannot live with him any more. | Dear old Jack has not reached that | place by many a mile but it does take a long time to get to the place of understanding.

He de-| clares himseif the enemy of Colonel Henry Nelson, son of Bell Nelson banker, Gray falls in love with Barbara Parker, daughter of Tom Parker. Gus Briskow, friend of Gray, takes Ma Briskow and Alle- gheny, the daughter, to the moun- tains. Gray visits them and Ma shows him where she goes to visit with fairies. Ma pretends she is a princess and Gray declares himself a duke. A message comes with in- formation thf Bud Briskow, the son, has run away from school. Gray offers to follow and bring the boy home.

He acts like we as cattle an' we are.” Her own ‘orn appeared to whip the speaker into a higher frenzy. “Now he's gone off to spoil Buddy's doin’s. But: tin’ in, that’s what it is. If I knew where Buddy is, I'd warn him. I'd tell him to look out. I'd tell him to grab his chance when it comes along, ifvit takes all the Briskow money, tll the Briskow wells. He's lucky, It don't m:fe any differ- with if he loves. her.” Never but once before had the Briskows seen their daughter in a mood like this and that was on the occasion of their first visit to Dallas. It was several moments after the hind her before Gus Briskow and then it was with a deep “I been afraid of something like Ma. I reckon we're goin’ to pay dear for our money before we get through.” “An’ him with a, princess in Wi- Falls!” the mother quavered. HCAPTER XVIII A Welcome Visitor While it cannot be said that Tom Parker had ever labored arduously at anything, nevertheless he had followed his calling ‘faithfully, and the peculiar exigencies of that call- ing had made of him a light and fit- ful sleeper. That small room at-the rear of his had cleared of its accumulations—of its saddles its rusty Winches- ters, its old newspapers and dis- orderly files—and had transformed into a retreat for him. ‘ Tom approved of the change after | he became accustomed to it, for he/ was subjected) to fewer irritating dis- tractions there than elsewhere. It was his practice’ to sleep from nine- thirty until eleven, when “Bob” fetched him a glass of orange juice with a “spike” i This refresh- ing energy to tackle the issues of the day, and thereupon began a routine as fixed as some religious ritual. Promptly upon the count of twenty he ,emerged from the inner office, slamming the door energetically be- hind him. Whether “Bob” was alone or en- gaged with clients, Old ‘Tom's sir was always the same; it was that of a busy man weighted with grave re- sponsibilities. He frowned; he mut- tered hurriedly: “Got to see a man; back in an hour. Anybody calls, tell ‘em to wait.” : This took ‘hit to the front. door, which he also’slammed behind him— there being a certain force and de- termination to the sound of a slam- ming door. Then he limped down the street to Judge Halloran’s office The judge usually had the checker- board out and set when Tom ur- rived. This morning “Bob” was alone at her desk when he came out, and something about/ her appearance dusty and saddle-bag “My goodness' son, you're all dressed up!” he said, as he noted “Bob's” crisp white dress, the rose upon her bosom the floppy hat that ramed her face. “Church sociable som’ers!"” “No, dad.” ’ “You certainly are sweet.” Tom's bleak, gray face softened then some vague regret peered forth from his eyes. “Certainly are sweet, but—” “But what?” The girl smiled up at him. ' “Oh, I “don’t know—seems like you ain't quite the same bey you was You’re changing lately somehow. Getting more like your mother every week. I like that, of course,” he said quickly, “but—I'd like awful well to see you in your ranch clothes egain. TI bet you've clean forgot how | to ride and rope and—" “Try me sometime ‘and see,” said the girl. ” Apparently Tom believed there was no time Jike the present, fér he slid his right hand under the -left lapel of his. coat and: when he brought it qway, there was a large single-action Colt’s revolver in ita massive weapon upon the mother-of- pearl, handle plates of which were carved two. steers’ heads, ; “Lessee .wou do a -few ‘Bob.’ Do the. roll, don’t stand cocked.” : Miss Parker rose to’ her feet and took the ‘weapon, She balanced it in her hand, then she spun it, rotled it, fanned ‘it went through a routine of tricks, Remember she lightninglike sleight f-ha: thet Tom had. taught her long before. “Lessee you do s few "hs father, urged, when’ sh it} to him. here t? beverage’ filled him with new |! a RDAPTA SE ONEE, ew youn “Sure.

We never have any more fun.” He turned toward the door. “Where are you going, dad?” “I got to see—What is it “Bob” hesitated. “I wish you'd stay here, I think Mr. Gray arrived this morning, and I expect him in.” Tom decided that he had made Judge Holloran wait long eno hh. He should have been in the old ras- cal's king row by this time. So he , briskly. “Wish I could, son, but I got to see a man.” “Mr. Gray was here several times before he went sway but you were always out.” When her father showed no inclination to tarry Bar- bard spjke with more impatience than she had ever used toward him. “L want him to meet you, dad, for he has come back on purpose to take up that Jackson well. If I devote all my time to business, it seems to me you could afford te sacrifice an hour to it, just this once, That checker game can wait.” Tom was offended, and being a stubborn man, he bowed his back. “Tell him to wait” he said curtly. I'll get around to it soon as ISgan.’” Without further comment the old man pulled Ais gray wide-awake lower over his eyes and limped out of the room. But he did’ not go to Judge Halloran’s office; was too sore to risk further off hands of one who todk mi light in antagonizing — him, walked the streets. Perhaps hel had permitted the girl to do more than her share of the work, and hence her inclination to take all the credit for their joint success was only natural, but it was time to change all that; time to turn a big deal without her assistance. That was the thing to do, handle the Jackson lease in his own way and turn it over for a price far in excess of sev- enty-five thousand — dollar: things were being done—Tom did not know just how, but he could easily find out—and there, were sev- eral thousand dollars in the baak to the firm’s account. A bus was about to leave, so Tom clambered in. Little prickles ran over “Bob”; she felt her whole body galvanize when she saw Gray coming, Hg entered, as ste knew he would enter with the suggesting of having been blown thither upon the breast of a gale. He was electric; he throbbed with energy; he was burst- ing with enthusiasm, and his delight at seeing her was boyish. “I told Jackson you'd be out to look at the well and the books to- day,” “Bob” was saying. “He won't an hour longer.” “Splendid! I came the instant you telegraphed—dropped everything, in fact. Some of my men are whiting to see me but I haven't even ~noti- fied them of my arrival. Important business, too; nevertheless, I hur- ried right here. They can wait.” Gray laughed gladly. “Jove! How becoming that hat is. I hired the best-looking car I could find, and it will be here in a minute. I tof my- self I had earned a day with yob, and 1 wouldn't spoil it by permitting you to drive. I've so much to talk to you about—business of all sorts— that I scarcely know where to be gin.” Now “Bob” had expected to drive to the Northwest he ieio Extension with Gray; nothing else had been in her mind; her field clothing was even laid out really for a quick change. but a sudden contrariness took hold of her; she experienced a shy per- versity that she could not explaik. “Oh, I'm sorry! I-can't go. “1 simply can’t,” she declared. He was 60 obviously disappointed that her determination gained strength; she was surprised at her own mendacity when she explained the utter impossibility of Jeaving the office, and told « circumstantial fib about a title that had to be closed with people from out of town. In order finally to get him away before she could change her mind, she promised to hurry through her affairs and then drive out to pring him home. iA Gray :drove directly to the lease he had come to examine, and was dis- appointed to learn chat the owmper had just left. This was es “Bob” had assured him that he was expected. Inquiry elicited from the surly individual in charge no-moré than the reluctant admission that Jackson had been called to the n, gr est telephone, but would be ‘ack sometime.
