G000 000000000000 REAL TEST OF VALOR By IDA SPEED. ——— ————— (Copyright.) Tip Taylor never was much of a hand at high finance. He took the con- tract to paint the D Bar windmill for five dollars, and used up six dollars’ worth of paint on the tower before ever he got as high as the wheel and fan, All the Square Deal folks thought he was due to lose, because he used such e unchristian shade of blue. Windmills bein' about all the reliet we git to the landscape thataway, we're kinder finicky as to the color of the same, This here Tip had been a cow-hand | off and on all his life, but he’d never ‘irenched the point where he was une iof the toppies yet, and he couldn't ' even make a livin' at it. For, although he was a pretty fair f rider, he was such a irresponsible cuss | he'd never got no further than tendin’ the day herd and such like, So he took such jobs as paintin’ | windmills to help out on the side. | loafin’ around the Strong Brothers’ store when little Nettie Brockton was dispensin’ smiles and language sweet- ern the sorghum substitute she sold, when Tip comes in. Nettle had been givin’ Bud Regan cause to be glad he is livin' by her condescendin’ to talk to him Individ- ual for a few minutes, and he’s leanin’ over the counter lookin' square in her eyes while from the other side she One evenin’ in Christmas week I was ————— up, to git a bunch of strays that he's got there. Tip asks Nettle, and two girls from | back East who are visitin’ her, to g0 | along, knowin’' they can stay with my ' wife while there, and have a dance that night, returnin’ the next day. It wasn't but 12 miles, so they come. Now, on the way up to the Donble Two, Tip gits to hurrahin’ Bud about them bein’ rivals. “Let's just make her say which Is the best man before we git back to Square Deal tomorrow,” he suggests to Bud, winkin' at the girls. Course Bud, havin' no self-conf- ! dence, hates to see it come to & test that-a-way, him bain’ willln’ to take what treatment she gives him and thank you, toa. But Tip insists om a show-down and at last Nettie lays down the rules of the contest. “What I really Dike,” she says, “I8 good ridin’. The best rider is the best man with me.” “I'm afraid that lets me out,” says Bud, duckin’ his head to one side. ( “Tip'll ride any outlaw you can put up, and I'm afraid to set on the fence and watch 'em piteh.” They got here just in time for din- ner and the chuck wagon was drawed up by the side of the barn and sheds. Tip was just goin’ to pot for his fourth helpin’ of frijoles, him havin’ a noble appetite, when he thinks of his val. | “Where's Bud?” he asks. “Oh, there he is!” he says, “settin’ on the grind- stone“to sharpen his appetite. Eat hearty, Bud,” he calls out, “we've got them stunts to pull off after while.” | I ain't hungry,” says Bud. “I'm e TUSEFUL FOR WORK BASKET the D Bar outfit, sends Tip and Buq. up to our ranch where we're roundin’ Emery B: all, Easlly Fashloned, Is One of the Most Satisfying Articles I That Can Be Imagined.

Tip walks up bold and puts both hands on Bud%s shoulders, kinder leanin’ over him to talk to his damsel. “All the boys are in four bits on a party at your house tonight, Net,” he Bays careless. “Oh, don't have it in my house,” says Nettie. “We can’t dance there, you know.” “We ain’t particular about dancin’,” says Tip, reachin’ around in the show- cage and helpin’ hisself to some co- coanut candy. “At least I shore ain't if I can talk to you.” “All right,” says Nettie pacified. “Come ahead then.” Old Mrs, Couzens come in just then to buy a hank of red yarn, and as the boys walk out of the store I hear Tip ask Bud for the loan of a dollar. “I'll let you have four bits,” says nothin’ but his memory with what he owed, and that usually failed him. Well, that night Tip was the only feller there that had on regular party togs, him havin’ borrowed the best that was in town from all the boys Tip's leavin's, Poor Bud contributed the coat for the occasion, and he had on a sorry lookin’ little cream-colored, summer flannel one hisself, that bein’' all he had left. a thick brush, and he had a real fool- the north room where the party fis, Bud is chilly, havin’ took off his wool one with that little flannel coat, so head back against the rough pine partition, and lstens to the others talk. After while Tip, who always keeps up and proposes to play “Take Back What You Borrow,” and it took nerve for Tip to suggest that game, too! Well, the boys all git their part- ners, and there never bein' enough girls to go around In this western country, and Bud bein' timid, course he was one of the left-overs. Old Mrs. Brockton safls in about the time for the game to begin, and sees him settin’ there with his chair tilted back, lookin' like he wasn't enjoyin’' hisself. “Come on, Bud,” she says Jolly, “I ain't got no partner.” Course Bud bein’ crazy 'bout Nettie was powerful tickled to git a chance to please the old lady, so he starts boisterous laugh, there, and the others havin’' to take | His hair set up in front in a kind of | cow-punchin’ shirt and put on a cotton | he sets over next to the stove, his | the ball a rollin’ at such places, gits | some more, though she don’t take no ! pleted. notice of him at all. | stunts Tip does 'em that afternoon, | whilst Bud does all the work they're both sent to do, cuttin’ old man Greseh- am's stock out of the herd, and after- | wards pennin’ 'em fer the night. About the time they had finished brandin’ the last calf in the bunch we had sold, old Mankiller come up to ! the trough for water. Those old horses go several days without liquid refreshment in the win- | ter because they’re too blamed lagy to walk the three or four miles to git it This horse must have been pretty thirsty, for he's a old wolf that’s killed two men and {s so wild he won't usu- ally come up where humans are. The notlon strikes Tip Taylor to ride him and, in spite of the outlaw’s pawin’ and bitin’, Tip has roped him | done ft. | He wasn't even satisfled with that, for with all of us lookin' on, and the women screamin’ and beggin’ him to glt off, his daredevil spirtt {3 aroused right. | Along comes a wild hog out from the shinnery just as Tip’s castin’ around for something more reckless to , do, and this here fool slams his rope on the “javelina.” Well, it the thing had been exeitin’ before, it was plumb perilous now! That hog drove his tushes in the ground, and jerked, and fought, and | You could see the boy begin to git white and sick, for that grass rope was grindin’ into his leg, and the hog was holdin’ it tight at one end whilst old Mankiller plunged and couldn’t ! be turned. ' About 15 cow-punchers stood help- yless while the women stopped screamin’ and everybody seemed to | hold their breath for an instant. Then through the air flew a pair of " tringed leather leggin's and the man In 'em covered the space between us j and Tip In just exactly nothing. We saw a pair of arms grapple with that old man-eater's snarlin’, bitin’ head and, when it was tucked between his right arm and pressed tight to his side, he goes in his pocket with his deft hand and rips out a knife, which he opens with this teeth and | cuts the rope right at the saddle-horn ! just as we run up. | The man was Bud Regan. ‘ Wa are just in time to ketch Tip as | he topples out of the saddle in a dead | faint and we let old Mankiller g0, watchin' Tip And of all the wild and reckless ( [ { % 4 make good & Having had twenty-one years' experience in building and con- & | L o 188! up & G0-cent plece, “then o Bt e on him in less tme | A St I'll lose half and go will you,” which & tracting in Lokeland and vicinity, I feel competent to render the was 50, because Tip never charged (D8t It would take to tell how he|g Iy ® will not go hand in we will instal o prices for Strictl B oo BB BB Fref B B BB BreBroRe g KD knife i dgrain, OBk o oo Foer PETTICOAT OF THE MOMENT Garment Amazingly Light but fectly Suited to the Costumes Now Being Worn.
