Eben Reeks, superintendent of the New Britain General hospital, has decided to cooperate in the greatest baby show in the history of the world. May 12, 1923, will be the date which future historians will record as the day when 500 hospitals and maternity institutions in ‘the United States have invited all the babies who were born within their walls to return to their “alma mater” for a reunion and to help the institution celebrate National Hospital Day, In New Britain the hospital as. sisted the stork in adding 827 pros- pective voters to the population of this city within two years. Of these 827 the majority are growing up, healthy, happy, hungry youngsters and cach and every one has been in- vited to climb the hills to the top of Walnut Hid park on the date men- tioned, which by coincidence happens to be the day before Mother's Day. Not only will bables be invited to where the mesa came to a neck in |front of the granite outcroppings that rose to high peaks, The mesa and the tiny valleys be- yond were only accessible by means | of this narrow bit of land, The old man could look across the chasm [that separated his aery from the but. | tes, but the getting there was quite a different matter, It was a sheer fall of elght hundred feet from the eastern rim of the mesa to Bodine's ranch below, Above the shack there were large pockets in the rocks in which the snow water stored itself, It was a sheep-man’s paradise, Bodine knew that men like Liotard were looked up to as the heads of their clans, They were uncle, cousin, or grandfather to countless numbers of the Basques in the valley, Mar- rlage tripled and quadrupled the num- ber. A blow at Liotard would hurt a hundred kinsmen, Urging their horses cautiously up the tortuous trail that led to the shack, Shorty and he arrived within sight of the place before dawn. There they waited, Minutes rolled by hefore the old man came out, a moth-eaten dog at Tis side. Out of a lean-to bulit against his shack he led a burro that scemed as old as its master, About 7 o'clock Kildare, from a perch across the canon where he watched the house on Webster Creek, caught sight of the milling sheep as Liotard drove them from the water- pockets in the rocks. When the animals settled to graz- ing, they began moving directly to- ward the cabin, Noon-time always found them headed back to the higher ground, There were close to aj thousand head in the herd: fine big merinos. Blaze laughed as he watched through his glasses the play of the big rams; but his smile desert- ed him as he saw two horsemen dash around the cabin to the center of the herd. The sheep were in a panic al- most instantly. Shooting and hallooing,the riders nrged the shesp on, until they sped before the prancing horses. Another minute, and they were hurtling through space to the jagged rocks hundreds of .feet below. Thirty, forty--Blaze turned away sick. An Indian could not have conceived any- thing more savage. So far Kildare had caught only the backs of the two men; but as they began to cross the mesa, he knew they must come down by the trail that led to the cabin. Blaze moved to where his rifle commanded the road. (Continued in Our Next Issue) BASS NAMED CHAIRMAN Frank Bass was elected chajrman and Willlam Gray secretary of the Y. M. T.

For hours at a time they would hold & glass on the house on Webster Creek. Life there became as fa- millar as if they were on the spot. They counted eight men: Buck and seven others. Their features were mnot recognizable, but the big fellow's size marked him. No one worked. In the heat of midday the Double A riders rarely caught sight of any of them. Morrow met his men one morning. He had no news. He had heard that one or two of the Basques had packed up their belongings and moved on. Cash made light of it. The fight was over! He was right, apparently. Blaze had supposed Bodine would kick back once or twice before giving up; but four days had gone by, and he had not stirred from his retreat. The following morning, however, there were signs of life at the Web- ster ranch. Shortly after daylight Buck and his men were in the saddle, and by noon they had rounded up their stock, now about three hun- dred head. An hour later they were in motion, pointed for Winnemucca. “They're headin’ for the railroad, sure as you're born,” Melody called to Blaze. “We can see them from here for an hour or more. When they reach the I river, I'm going to hike down there.” “He won't have any cattle left if we Melody studied his friend’s face be- | keep this up.” fore he spoke again. | “hat's ended.” Buck began to “Every once in a while you pull a smile again. “That warchouse is | owned on shares I the Basques.

After two nights of quiet, Acklin relaxed, He put the incident down for a sporadic attack, a sort of dying blow. But the next wnight Gloomy and Shorty dashed down from their hiding-place, ieaving a gory track to mark the way by which they had come. Below the peak they turned west, and threaded their way into the | valley of the Kings. There they slept and ate. Twelve hours later they were safe on Webster Creek. Bodine could not repress his elation 48 he waited for them. He and Nez Ferce had defied Iisteban's order and ridden to Paradise. They had heard a great deal. By 10 o’clock they were Fack on the ranch. Bodine could not | sleep. He paced up and down the path in front of the house for more than an hour before his two men ar- rived. He greeted them vociferously. “Boys, we got 'em! The Basques found a notice nailed on the door of the wool-house in Paradise about § o'clock this evening. Some aof Ack- lin's men put it there. It says if any more Double A steers are found shot there'll be reprisals: they'll hit back. You must 'a’ got a bunch of them.
