�; illi ig, and for the next half hour,
Regan watched carefully every
of .the beautiful animate as they sped
up acid down the track.
Every tithe the Roman teams -.came
out, Chuck Jones found some occasiott
to witness . the training, Usually it
it
Was, a chore that was no part of his
work as a ppotato-peeler, Te -day he
walked slowly' about the end of the
track where Regan stood busily toting
a forkful of hay, and with seeming
t e . i' a again
the ground." All would have gone well,
to -day, as it bad done so often before,
if Chuck had; not dropped the hay in
front of Blackie Smith.'' So intent;,wes
he on the traek and the' Roman team
that he jabbed the fork droivn into the
hay again without seeing -what he was
doing.
Unfortunately'
for. Chuck the
g e
fork landed on the most favored,of all
of. Blackie's pet corns. With a howl
of pain Blackie made a pass at Chuck,
Which missed as usual.;
• "My God, you louteget get back -to your
potatoes. Whatineliou doin' here
anyway?" But he did not press the
matter further,"I
as Corbett- as "just
dismounting, : S
•"Groat work Corbett! A little more
trainin' an' we'll win the shirt right
off'n Morton's back.','
As Regan stepped back he almost
trod on Ohuek. He.looked at him good-
naturedly. Not so Blackie.,
"I thought,I told you to git back
to your job)." and he shied another
ineffectual look Chuckward.
But Regan was more kindly, And
besides, he was: feeling 'pretty much
elated after the tryout.
Don't do that, Blackie. Aid you
have something en your mind, sonny?"
Pointing at the team the men, were
leading away, Chuck timid earnestly:.
"They'd go a lot faster if Corbett
didn't lay back so bard on the reins."
A chorus of laughter in which .even
Meganoined greeted this observation
from the potato-peeer. Blackie' was
about to lay violent hands on Chuck,
When
e he shook himself free and ahngt
s
"I know something about horses, I.
do. And to` prove it, I'll just ride
that tough one that almost made an
angel out of Corbett." --
Tenderfoot baiting is„the most en-
joyable pastime of the cowboy,and it
was no time at all before the potato -
peeler was' in the saddle on top of the
prize outlaw of the- Bat 0 'ranch.
Many a man before Dan Malloy has
let, Pride and Anger get the better oar
Prudence. Dan thought Officer Calla-
han hod gone for the day. He hadn't.
As the outlaw plunged towardthe
fence Dan eaw to his disgust. and
astonishment the waxed mustache, the
red hair and queettoning-eyes of that
same Callahan.
"Nice day," he observed by way of
introduction, as he wiped the soiled
boot with his gauntlet glove.'
"A oh'" : drawled chuck without� >
looking up. It was not the voice of
Bill Harkness.,
"Stip 0 r Lound here?" a sted the
poljeeman, rocking back on his heels.
Chuck rose slowly and wiped his
hands, carefully before be s oke: His
P
hat was' filled well fleece on his head
in the manner be affected, His dull
looking blue eyes held no spark
' intelli e ce in them as they enoft
at the officer frown 'the' pulled down
brim.
"I've peered. enough spuds to be call-
ed. it native son."
Smilingly Iooking him over, Calla-
hant yiiade another thrust.
"Do inuche riding?' he hazarded,
still rocking on his heels. -
The same drawling voice replied
with tto onoye intelligence than before.
"Nope. if I gotta have blisters, I
'ant 'em on my feet" As he'said;it,
Chuck looked' down at his feet, the
great toes of which could be seen pink-
ly peering out of his weil<worn shoes,
Callaghan really laughed at this
sally. Then he grew serious. With a
sudden. motion, he brought his hand
down sharply on Chueh's shoulder. As
that individual jumped guiltily, Calla-
han laughed again. .
"You'll dot 'What's your name?"
"Jones, Chuck Jones, champion po
tato-pea:er of Alberta."
"All right, Jones. Beard about you.
Just came up td get acquainted. See
you again."
And the red-haired one
took himself off to'rejoin-l4liss Alberta,
who had been a witness to the inter-
view,
Chuck resumed his potato peeling,
but the smile did not return to his face
until he saw the representative of the
law canter out of the ranch gate. '
As Callahanwent out another party
of horsemen entered. .Alt its head was
Al Morton, owner of a ranch tie fa -
moils as the Bar 0 and qs full of de-
sire to win the money at the approach-
ing- Stampede. Morton and has party
were made welcome at the corral
fence, where the men of the Bar 0
were watohing the try -outs. Morton
handed Regan a pamphlet printed in
red and biae"k with a cut of a man on
herseback,on the cover. It announced
the Calgary Exhibition, Jubilee and
/Stampede,
S Heeiiy,eleventh.
sr"Hrt is, Andy, o kight
off the press.- That ought to draw a
bigger crowd to Calgary than ever
saw . the Stampede before. 1 guess,
though, that .you wen't lttive much
chance at the prizes that year from
all I hear."
"Whitt do you mean?" asked Regan,
bristling. Morton was a than who
dearly liked to tease. He had teased
the salter -minded and earnest Regan
within an inch of his life for the last
ten years, Ever since lie had discover-
ed how easy it waif. •
"My boys got everything nailed
dawn this year as far as 1 cam see. We
done you up pretty weli last year, but
that ain't a circumstance to what we
will do to you this year. Thanks."
Regan always carried a bunch of
etogios in his outside breast pocket.
He usually bid them when Morten was
around, It always wonted to Mellon
that they were there for his espe sal
benefit; Ile never failed to help him-
self. .
"Weil, maybe you did get more than
you was entitled to last eat incl'udii3'
the Roman, race. But its all different
this year. This time she's my meat.
Got a 'new pair and they're beauts,.
Pni tailin' you."
"Rave on, Andy rave on, But I've.
got a pair of mosses that travel
faster'n gossip. And more than, that,
I've got ten'thousand clones that ,says
that they can beat your peer in a
walk." ,. •
"Done," ).aid Regan eagerly, "My
stand on it. The ten thousands is us
good as mine." '
— The two men shook hands., Morton
was the merrier of the two. It was
the second ten thousand' that had been
wagered on that Roniah race.
"You don't mind if I siuolte ,another
of thoseburning shames do, you?"
asked Morton' as he helped hinese f to
another' of Regents stogies. "They
burst just like your money." And he
walked off still toughing. 'Regan look-

THE NIGIiT WIND.
It is quite possible that Dan Mal-
loy could have weathered this equine
whirlwind. He .had tamed worse in
the States and he was enjoying hitu-
self hugely -until he espied Callahan.
)3ut there is one thing that no roan
can do. That is to ride a bucking
broncho and be thinking about some-
thing elKi. This term of exercise re-
quires' undivided attention, and oven
at that it very likely to mei/0 dis-
astrous.
So it is no wonder that the next
second found Dan Malloy, or rather,
Chuck Jones, trying to dig a ditch
in the turf of the corral. His violent
impact with the ground shook Chuck
back into : eherrletee .with resounding
suddenness and his first geature was
the characteristic one of pulling do-iyp
Ms small brimmed hat over hie eyes.
Itis next w'as more nletural and leea
artful. It also, served to relieve_ his
injured feelings. He expelled his
breath a couple of times with heft
Mored lips, so that hie: cheeks gave tar

session of him when ho first saw
Chuck was as =Mod as the above
but with .this antusofliont there was
also a tinge of disghst that he could
have suspected that this boobish po-
tato -peeler could have'anyteting to do
with the myste tiously disappeared
Dam ,Malloy. However, he lied folltiw-
ed to the letter the precept Of the ser-
vice, never give up your man.. Calla-
han never did. He was one of the:
most, et entloss and s"Ic'roit trackers of
the Mounted. In spite of his dandified
appearance, he was a hard man to
elude. But even Callahan now ad•
mitted to himself that he had been
following a cold scent.
"Well Regan,” he said to the ranch -
man as' he tented the little group that
was still laughing at the ridiculous --
plight of the flattened 'K,P., "you .can't`
make,. a morning glory out of a ague,
can you? The Almighty didu t give
them clinging vines.
"Yoe damned right,' laughed Re-
gan, "bat I hope he Is not damaged,
He is a [toad potato-pselef. Ile better
stick to the potato barrow in the; fu-
ture. Much safer in the long run."_
Pretty, gentle -eyed Alberta, almost
submerged in the shadow of her huge
sombrero, looked long and sympa-
thetically as the ungentlo cowboys
helped Chuck to his feet. There vias
something very engaging in the peeler
of potatoes, and she had frequently
surprised a queer and, unintended
smile on his face whet', - supposing he
was' -unobserved, he thought his
thoughts as Ise b_nteove his humble-
task
umbletask at the' door of the can -to. As
she took Callahan's erne to go, ug to
the house, she looked over her shoo -clef;,
and waved her hand rather surrepti
tiously in Chuck, s dirail on ' lle did

SO f(ood. Dan admitted, the fact un
heertatingly. ;
It was the first Pali he had ever
taken from the back of a horse that
tilled him with complete satisfaction.
Thiel certainly was -'one of his most
lucky days. While his luck held , he
would try it to the utmost. -.He wart in
a reckless mood as he planned his next,
adventure. For this business of being
a boob had to be ' compensated for
tonte,way. 'And there was only one
way that gave Mailoqq arty hick.
Even under -watchful- oyes, it was
easy enough, with' hie ready: wit and
steel nerves, and with a fair break In
the ,luck, for Malloy to play Chuck
Jones Bit vthen ,night came, the
yearning tote with the eplendid'creas.
tures he loved so well was' more than
Dan could ;resist. Time and again he
had exercised thie yearning while the
rested the Tench eves wrapped in
slumber. Since he., was at the very
bottom 'of the social ladder'he was not
emitted even to sleep in the bunk

steps from the

suited Dan to a T. ; .He was free to
come and go as - he peeased. No one
kept any cheek on his movements.
l'ven such .small ,'belongings as he
treeasured were safe from; prying -eyes
Under his bunk or on the wall in an
old boiler.:
If ,Callahan had taken the trouble•
to search this modest couch or have a
look ` at the Jones' wardrobe in the
humble receptacle on the wall, he
would^have been the most surprised
man in all of Canada. But Callahan's
suspicions had : been lulled to sleep.

Letting in the Spring. -
Mont folk believe that ppring rises
from the ground, or that it breaks out
on the tips of bushes and treee; or:
comes with the signal of a.badee oaii,
or the creeping forth of a tiny insect.
They may, in a sone., be right, but
they do not go far enough," No Mat
spring meanest 'arrives'swhile your
eyes look down, or while they are fog
cused on sole small objeot. Spring
comes from above; it 'arrives at an
early hour just when the night falls
back—an unfettered and wholly lade'
finable emergence , from a mist: morn-
ing of sunsbine. It ie high above; 1t
le beyond the freed -and the steeple;
and It calls the whole world to rise and
meet it—to look up.
There is just ae much spring in.the
town as in the- country. Sometimes
there seems to be more. It is- when
the meat that brings 1t shakes above
the roofs before the tiles are dry. It
le as definite as the posdtoan's dazuble
knock, and you take it in with the
Mane pleasurable anticipation as you
dC th-'totters, aitd •talk about the cor-
ing.holldays, and things you did last
year when you were an'ay, and tile;
year, before thee, and the year before
that again,until It seems that all
things aro happy things, and verything
la'potzelble. . -.
Spring comes with 'almost over-
powering beauty as you croec the
bridge that spans the river. - Here,
over the Water and up into the eky', the
sunlight has. full play and makes the
moot of it. Faint aro the far-off build-
ings, the domes' anal spires, with the
tint of Untouched bloom: From the
brim of the watoi-a white bird rises,
*keel's In an arch of glistening silver,
turns •sbat,ply, and thole spreading two
great wings,'pierces `the spring. It is
lost in tate mist, ]sigh up, but 1t tails
to the world to follow.
The steps, leading to the oillce are
dark atter the sunshine, and the email
back roam le gloomy, Jsnd then a man
in sltlet eieeves, weal a short ladder, a
buekett, and an eseertment of elegise,
emerges from somewhere, apologizes
