CHAPTER iI,
Vogel "Falls for a Skirt?'
"Big Louie" Vogel took the back
way out of "Silver Danny's" saloon,
leaving a quarter on. the table to pay
for the drink he had not touched. He
chose the hack way for several rea-
sons, Principal among them was the
fact that one never could tell what
bird of prey of his own world might
be standing in the barroom to spot
the well dressed stranger as he left
and then lie in wait for whoever
might follow him, with the hope of
getting a "look in" on whatever ras-
cality was brewing,
Not that "Big Louie" was in the
habit of splitting with any one. He
paid, and paid well, these to whom
he saw fit to entrust small parts in
his various enterprises, but the bulk
of the work he dill himself, and he
kept the bulk of the proceeds. Less
fortunate fellow erooka never had
much difficulty in getting a few dol-
lar; from hint when their pickings
had been had, but he always insisted
rigidly on repayment whet. fortune
smiled again.
Froin the back door Vogel surveyed
the immediate surroundings before
stepping down into he dark alley, but,
once satisfied no one lurked in hiding.
be followed it briskly for a couple of
blocks, debouched 'upon a dimly light-
ed street and sought the shabby hotel
where he had one of the two rooms
he maintained m different parts of
the city.
.11e glassed through its doorway and
dent straight up the steps at the side
of the narrow lobby, deserted now by
its habitues who, as was their custom,
-prowled all night 'and slept all day.
The surly -faced clerk mounting guard
over the desk looked up at his en-
trance, then ' esumed his reading of
the evening paper. The comings and.
goings of the hotel's guests interest-
ed him not in the least. .
Down a long, dark hallway Vogel
stepped with the assurance of one
who lmows his ground and knocked
upon a door, -whose grimy transom
revealed a light within.
"Who is it?" demanded a woman's
voice.
°Louie," he replied. There was
eonnd of a drop -ping chain, the click
of the key in the lock, and the Boor
was thrown open. In the dim rays of
a gas light he faced a girl, scarcely
keyond her teens, auburn haired and
baby faced. She held a -auly kimono
wrapped about her figure and evident-
ly she had been surprised in the act
of dressing.
She did not invite him to enter, and
"Big Louie," fumbling his hat in his
hands, seemed at a loss for words. "1
thought you might want to take in a
pitcher show," he finally stammered.
"Well, I don't," she replied "I've
got another date for to -night."
"Big Louie" glared and his face
flushed in anger.
"Who is he?" he asked. °`I'1I knock
no you won't," she replied;
then laughed. "Aw, I won't kid' you
no more, Louie. It ain't a he at all.
I'm going to a meeting!"
"Again?" he muttered. "Seems to
n]e yu've got them d—n meetings on
the brain. What do they get. yu?
New if yu'd hook up with me—"
"And be left a widow some day
when some cop bumps you off? Not
much. I've told you that before,
You'Il get yours sure as shootin' one
of these times. If you really want to
marry me you'Il have to cut out the
rough
stuff
and get a job. I work
every t ? You can do the
same and it won't make no difference
to me whether you make ten dollars
a week or fifty. Tine's coming when
las people what has to work will be
gettin' ours, share and share alike,
and we'll all be on the same footin'
and no guy with money's goin' to sit
hack and get fat on what others make
for him."
"And that's what yu learn at them
aneetin's," interrupted Vogel, rough-
ly. "Yu listen to a lot of long-haired
guys telling yu what they areoin'
to do for the countryg
if yu'll jest do
as they say and yu give 'em your
money
neyto help spread °the message to
a
ourdowntrodden brothers,' he
mimicked a street orator he had once
beard, "and yu go out and help push
their graft along. But if their dreams
olid come true and all that they prom -
iso yta happened where do yu suppose
• ti get off'? At the short end of the
Txorn, as usual. Yu've l?3teanell tQ this
Spielin' so long yu got so yti believe
it, and yu're always tryin' to ever,.
some other person into it. No wonder
they're got so they call yu 'Bel
Stell." This red 'flagwavin' ain t
goin' to get yu nowhere." !
"Now, Louie, we've been good
friends and all that since you found
me cryin' out there in the gutter one
night because I' was broke and hun
gry and no place to go and von been
my friend right. We ain't goin' to
tuarrel now, So you run along and
let inc dress aiid I'll drift on down
to the nieetin' and along about 10
o'clock, say, you meet me in front of
?iiassey's and we'll have a ice cream
sody or sometlzin'. Some of these
days, perhaps, we can see things alike.
Meanwhile we ain't goin' to fuss." 1
She made as if to close the door. but
Vogel put out a restraining hand.
here's one thing more, Steil," he
said, awkwardly. :"I picked up a piece
of change to -night and I want yu to
keep it for me until I call for it. And
if 1 don't call, why it's yours." He
pulled out the ten hundredollar bills
Lebrune had given him to bind their
compact and pressed them upon her.
"There's a thousand dollars there, kid.
Keep 'ern as a favor for ire and if—
if win -thin' happens, yu keep 'en] fer
yerself "
"1 wouldn't
touch it for myself,
Louie," she replied. "But I'll keep
them until you want it, asa favor for
you. I've lived straight, so far, and
I've lived honest, and I've never spent
a penny that I didn't get fair and
square." •
"That's what I like about you, kid,"
he said and turned on his heel.
Stella Lathrop stood lookingat his
retreating back. for, a moniethen
shaking her head, closed the door and
resumed her interrupted dressing. She
was a startling and unusual exception
to the class of people with whom she
associated, almost as, much to their
own surprise and wonder as to that
of the police, who hada beenvainly.
trying to discover just Where she fit-
ted in among the denizens of the
underworld.
Stella Lathrop lived among crooks
because among them she had found
the only friends she had known since
she had quit the mountain community
where she had been born and reared,
down among the foothills of the. Oz-
arks. She had gone to The Cove's
little Reboot end, because she had hu-
e tninonion and was a dreamer,` she had
foreseen that she could follow but
two courses, One was to break away
from The Cove altogether; the other
to retrain there and marry some
mountain boy and raise his ehildrer
and work from early morning nntil
late at night to retake his scanty earns
ings keep, a roof over their heads,
food in their stomachs and rough
clotting on their backs. She had
shuddered at visions of herself be-
coming a drudge like the. other Cove
women, •hen mother, for example,a
slatternly, angular, discontented 'wo-
roan, whose frayed nerves kept her
houseful of children in constant fear
of her.
So Stella; Lathrop, having broached
the subject of seeking employrent.in
town and` receiving a box on the ears
for her pains, had silently packed her
pitifully few belongingsin a hand-
kerchief and set out one- night to
trudge the rocky roads to town. If
she had feared ;pursuit and forcible'
return to her home, it was groundless.
Her father had branded her an un-
grateful little hussy, and her mother
had been positive she would return as
soon as she grew hungry.
The girl knew a storekeeper,. in
town and he, sensing her ignorance,
had readily given her a job in the
kitchen of his home, at the munificent
wages -of four dollars a month and.
her keep. She had quickly seen that
she had utterly failed in her purpose
and she miserly had put by every cent
of her wages until she had the price
of a ticket to the big city. Then, her
only possssions, the castoff garments.
of her mistress and two dollars in
change, she had bravely set out to
try her fortunes.
But the big city had been unkind,
as is. the habit of the big city. How
she got past the policeman, and wel-
fare agents at the station where she
was deposited by the train that had
brought her, always was a mystery
to her after she learned there were
such persons on the 'lookout for un-
wise little girls. But she evaded' them,
probably because she was not trying
to, and speedily found herself en-
gulfed in the whirlpool. She had tim-
idly ventured to ask a kind -faced old
woman where she could get. a job and
had been answered so harshly that it
was several hours before she had got
up her nerve to ask any -one else. Of
course she never got the answer she
was hoping for. One or ttio- nien,
pausing to take in the beauty, which
her ridiculous garb could not entirely
hide, had been rude, and badly fright-
ened her, ` and she had wandered on
until she had come to a park and
there, she had fallen asleep, her couch
a cold stone 'bench in a sheltered nook
*here she escaped the eye of the
park" policeman.
Thus two ' days s
y had gone by and
Stella had accomplished nothing 'be-
yond seeing a `great deal of the city
on foot. Naturally;'with her mountain
training, she had gravitated away
from the better resident districts and
towardsthe slums and there it had
been that Louie Vogel had come upon
her—a weeping, very tired, very hun-
gry bit of femininity—and had taken
her under his protecting wing.
Why he had done" it 'the gunman
himself could not have. told:' "One of
those streaks of goodness which are
said to exist in even the worst of us
must- have come to the surface just
long enough to touch his heart at
sight of the forlorn little girl. At any
rate he had taken' charge of her and
in his masculine" way, unaccustomed
as he was to dealing with women, he
had seen that she had food_and clothes
and a room: at -the shabby hotel and

When To Send for the Doctor. family doctor befoie serious'complica-
) In innumerable instances the sum-
moning of a physieiar a necessity;
but oftentimes- a physician is called
from force of habit, and hypochon-
driacs seek a doctor for no apparent
reason whatever. Many small ailments
can be overcome by means of diet, rest
or simple home remedies; but the
practical and sensible person realizes
the inability of a novice to cope with
many of the ills common. to "mankind.
"We haven't consulted' a doctor for
nearly ten years,"'was the proud
boast of a man in whose home we
found, ourselves recently. Meanwhile,
his near-sighted wife rocked a peevish,
fretful baby.
"What is the matter with the little
fellow?" we inquired.
"I don't l now, answered the moth-
er. "He has never been very well.
sometimes I think one thing is the
matter, and sometimes another. I
suppose he will outgrow the trouble
after a while."
A small girl ran into the room and
climbed upon her father's knee. Her
breathing was difficult and seemed
restricted. Her general appearance
bespoke thepresenceof adenoids. We
said nothing. What was the 'use?
What was there to say to a man who
boasted that be consulted no doctor,
while the condition of hia little daughL
ter pleaded for attention, to say no-
thing of the assistance an oculist;
could have rendered leis near-sighted
wife. Any one with ever] average in,-
tellagence would realize that, for this
particular family, medical aid was
imperative.
AIthou h the of summoning habito a

physician for trivial excuses is un-
pardonable, to postpone the securing
of necessary medical aid is dangerous.

and other abnormal conditions be over-
looked.
The general health requires the
teeth to be kept in order. The almost
unendurable suffering caused by tooth-
ache is often followed by serious con-
ditions, which might be avoided if the
teeth were kept in good condition.
Inconvenience and pain are often
experienced by those who neglect the
eyes. When it is understood that the
difficulty is due to overwork, poor
light, or a natural weakness, the'indi-
vidual can sometimes remedy the de-
fect by observing customary `"`pre-
•cautions.and if possible rectifying the
cause. But generally speaking, when-
ever there is optical trouble of ' any
sort, evenof the slightest degree, it
is wiser to consult a competent. oculist.
'Surgical cases demand competent
aid. A broken_ bone, a bad sprain, 'a
severe wound, wounds from firearms,
severe burns and hernia are but a few
of many serious troubles that require
the services of a physician.
If any one has taken poison—either
accidentally or with suicidal intent,—
it
ntentit is imperative to ,summon a physi-
cian while "first aid" is being admin-
istered. The same is true in cases of
apparent drowning, asphyxiation,
electric shock and sunstroke, and of
contagiousdiaeases,, fevers, extreme.
vertigo. and other alarming symptoms.
Whether or not medical aid should
be suniinoned for "a pei•sotl who' has
fainted depends altogether ' upon a the
patient and the attending ' circum-
stances. If the person is in the habit
ofi fantin from n
of,fainting, any trivial v]al or par-
ticular cause, the members of the faro
ily should learn to be, equal to the
occasion. But in exceptional cases,
or where a patient faints cinder pe-
culiar' condition, the wiser course
would be to place the ease in the
hands of a capable physician•

Perhaps the same streak of good-
ness had compelled Vogel to treat her
with respect and to see that others
did the sane. That had been several
months before, and Stella, a ready
pupil and apt at picking up new ways,
had blossomed out from an awkward
little,'•countrygirl into a typical city
girl of the factory type. She early
discovered that, d at.Voge1 and those she
met through hirer lived by their wits
and not 'the sweat of their brows, but
they were the. only friends she knew
and they had treated her better than
'she had- ever been treated before, so
she had not chosen to desert them..
Strangely enough, she had kept het -
self aloof from any of their nefarious
enterprises and, stranger still, she
!had • gone straight. But her own
bitter ' experiences during her first
days in the city, magnified perhaps
by the strangeness of all about her,
had implanted in her heart a rebel-
lious feeling against the order of
things -which permitted so few people
to have a great many things, and so
many people to' have nothing at all.

that superfluity of wealth beyond hit"
man needs. The story that follows'
might truthfully be called a sheep 'ro-
mance.
John T. Heninger is a large 'sheep
owner in Southern Alberta,': and on
his three large ranches, known as the
Coulee Ranch, King's Lake Ranch, and •
.Hay Lake Ranch, located southeast of
Lethbridge, he i]as clearly denion-

history having much in common with
the ,modest commencements which
have developed into ranching for
tunes in the'west. But sheep have .a
way of increasing, and the size of the
herd, which at the present time
ranges the hills , and coulees of the
three ranches, may be estimated from •
the fact that last spring it was in-
creased by the addition of seven
thousand lambs, and that the wool
clip harvested amounl.erl to about •
135,000 pounds.
The Blighty Wagon.
All sheep breeders . and farnie.ra
know that there is a tremendous mor-
, tality among _lambs in the 'first few
hours of their existence, and this
rancher's motto has been, "Save the
lambs and the sheep will take care of
themselves." Upon this policy he has
built up the e herd he now owns. A
visitor to the ranches in the spring
time might be somewhat startled to
see an ambulance's mad antics as it
pursues a rough and furious way' over
hill and clown coulee. An ambulance

lambing time and, picking upthe
ewes with new-born lambs, journeys
with them in the snug little pens to
the sheltering fold. Here the couples
are placed in other comfortable pens,
the ewe fed on, oats and hay, and the
lamb, if found to be cold, placed be-
tween ' blankets. Then, when ,the sun
comes out and the lamb has recuper-
ated a little strength, the ewe and its
woolly offspring are turned out to
graze upon the fresh greens grass of
the adjacent pastures. When lambs -
are being- born too •quickly to.be all
accommodated by the' motor . ambul-
ance; horse-drawn ranch vehicles are
pressed into service. Just what value
this system of ensuring the life of the
lamb is to the rancher may be judged
from the fact that -in stormysprings,
when other sheep ranchers have had''
a heavy toll of their newly born lambs,
Mr. Ileninger 'claims to have come
through without the loss of a single
