one-time gentleman comes 'o- Bradley.
Bardin, king of the cattle country, for
a job. Burney has hada fight with
Martin Bruce, a rival cattle owner
who has' been stealing the king's stock
aided by Miguel Gallegos, a Me. ican
bandit. The king, liking young Bur-

ting the cattle thieves. Burney accepts.
IIe meets Muriel, the king's beautiful

ested than she caresto admit, tries to
persuade her father not to let Burney
tackle the cattle thieves. The king de-
cide., to test Burney's courage by mak-
ing him ride Geronimo, the toughest
broncho on the ranch. Burney passes
the test with Hying colors. At Hua-
chita, a nearby town, Burney runs
into Brace and outwits him. He then
returns to the ranch to report.
CHAPTER XI.—(CcnV'i'.)
His supper eaten. Burney telephon-
e•t to the king. "Ken. Bu-rey speak-
ing, sir. Mr. Graydon instructed me
to report to you the moment I return-
ed to the ranch. I have returned:
"You've taken your sweet time :Mont
it Come over immediate',. I'm on
the western verandah. Don't bother
to announce yourself."
Three minutes later Iii+ Majee.y
was interested to hear a man running
at top speed along his verandah. fle
looked up just as Ken Burney turn.S•i
the corner, running, and with a broad
jump landed squarely in front of hini.
Ile greeted the somewhat aston:-h'.l
king with a breezy. military salute.
"The late Mr. Burney report, to
His Majesty," he announce.;.
"What's your nwa,l hurry, yea petite.,
idiot?"
"Mr. Graydon informed me tl,at
. se' was Your Majesty's middle name
and that whenever you instructed :t
man to report to you that man hail
better take it on the run or get fire,;."
"You're too dogg•'red literal;" the
king Iaughed in spite of himee'f. "So
you went to town fee a haircut. • n'
Where have you been since?"
"Weil, after the barber tin hod
with me I had to collect two menthe'
pay due me from Martin Bruce—"
"You lunatic! What 1 appe•ted?"
"He paid rte. Trie 1 to kill me sir:'.
but as the anelent ph:losopt-or on•:e
remarked, 'to be forewarned :s to be
forearmed: In other words, I got the
drop on Martin and be came throu.h
like a sport."
"Tell me about it," the king taro:.
,.
"Nobody ever ..its me arything in-
cept hard luck stork'. Make
laugh, sun."
So Ken Burney told him .n in ..
7ous detail of his encounter with Mr?.
tin Bruce, and the king did net laugh.
"He tried to draw • n you and ;;et

lovely ar that one. You haat a good
hand and you played it like- a foot.
I'm ashamed of you."
"You needn't lie—yet. I told you I
.wasn't hiring out as a killer. 0% course
I'll kill if I have to—in self-defense,
but it's always been my policy to
;'alk around a fight" •
CHAPTER XII.
"That's been Art Graydon's-policy,"
the king retorted bitterly, -"and where
has it gotten us? I had an idea when
I made you general manager that I
was hiring a fighter, not a pacifist."
"Oh!" Ken Bartley was faintly
amazed. "Am I your general man-
ager?"
"You are. I'm going to take a
chance on you—for a while, enyhow,
"In that event," the other replied,
"the dignity of my new job indicates
that I should sit down, even though I
haven't been asked."
And •forthwit he dragged up a
chair and sat down.
"You remarked thi•t you have con-
cluded to take a chance on me," Kea
Burney went on "That derision does
infinite credit to ;our well-known re-
putation for sagacity Of course I
know you are not taking n chance on
me at all. but that remains to be seen,
as the monkey remarked when 11e
droppea the kitten down the well."
"Three days—or the butt enol of
three days—have passed since you col-
lected your wages from Martin Bruce.
How have yo i spent those three
gays"' the king persisted,
"5int•,= I am not, as yet officially,
on your payroll, you will pardon rte,
I'm sure, if I ask yen net to press
that qu,.,t;on."
"Yon were on ny payroll.* His Ma--,

"You forget the trial of the thieves,
if any, will occur in Mexico."
"It will," Ken Burney replied enig-
matically, "it certainly will. How-
ever, I'm also. going tm put a number
of your El Rarchi,o calves north of
the line en a free -silver Himis, and if

he'll be tried in New Mexico where
the crime has been committed, In his
91yd Country of Coehise, Arizona,
where he is sheriff, he. would have an
advantage over us, in that he could
have his chief deputy select the right
kind of jury—and thereafter when-
ever his men deckled to run the Tri-
angle B iron -on a Double B calf, they'd
examine the hide first for hidden trea=
'sures; if they found any they'd leave
your calf atone."
"No, they wouldn't," the king con-
indicted. "Those petit larceny skunks
would just help themselves to the evi-
denee and brand the calf anyhow, By
the way, Burney, your salary as gen-
eral manager ,is five hundred dollars I
a month."
"That isn't enough money for a
bright young fellow like me," Burney
replied, "but it will do very nicely for
the present and I :hank Your Majesty
from the bottom of a heart that, of
late, has been someehat heavy. How-
ever, I warn you that once I have cor-
rected the situation which nnloys you;
do not be surprised if I quit your em-
ploy on short notice. I'm the Knight
of the Wandering Hoof. I'm one of
those fellows who just naturally has,
to g.go and find out,"
r'Seems 10 Mb 'ou've made com-
mendable progress in my employ," His
Majesty retorted dryly. "If your abil-
ity is at all commensurate with your.
ego you'll be running me off my job
b fore the month' is out."
"Yes—and you'll let out a few shrill
yips of satisfaction if I succeed in do-
ing it. You're tied to you: job, and
unless you can got ao.nebtdt/ to handle.
it as well as you handle it yoursalf
you'll live out the remain; er of your
life justseared to death at what's
going to happen to your kingdom
when you leave this vale of tears.
You haven't a son to take your place,
have jou?"
The king sighed. He ryas touched
on a tender spot. "It is the tragedy
of my life that I have not, Burney."
"I can understand your tragedy and
sympathize with it. But diets' only
tragedy flambe). one. If that lovely
daughter of yours should marry some
fellow without strfficien. cow sense to
tail a calf; your kingdom might event -
Lally find itself threate•,ed from
within. I have observed frequently
how supermen have built up great
enterprises; then when age or death
snatched the reins from their capable
hands .that enterprise showy -withered
and decayed under the management of
mediocre men ... Yes, you've got
your troubles."
"You bet I have," the king admit-
ted, strangely confidential snider the
stimulus of this young man's under-
standing and sympa.hy. "They do
not call me the rattle king without
reason. Uneasy lies the head that
wears a crown. You fortunate fellow,
Ken Burney. Not a liabili'y in the
world except your impulsiveness and a
faint strain of Spanish blood, and not
an asset in the world except a pack
horse, a top cow horse and the clothes
you stand in. Only one life to worry
about, your own, while I have thou-
sands of lives—at le:.st the happiness
and prosperity of thousands of lives
—dependent upon my continuous en-
ergy and abilit ' to beat the bandits
who are busy tryin • to take a dollar
away from 1110 as fast as I can make
it. What a hell of a world."
"Did you ever, sir," Ken Burney
I ursned, "test your ability to assimil-
ate electrieity? You remember those
contraptions they used to have at
country ::airs? You took a steel handle
in each hand and pulled them toward
you—and the farther you pulled them
the more voltage you gave yourself,
until finally you reached n point where
your brain sent a hurry -up message
through your nerves to the muscles
of your arms, saying: 'Let go!' Then
sou discovered you couldn't let go and
Lod to yell for somebody to tear you
loose, rind, of course the instant that
somebody took hold of you he had to
split the charge cf electricity with yon,
and between the two of you the job
was done."
The king elmdtied, "A very apt
t'eseription of my predicament, son.
Yes, I'm looking for a good roan to
tear me loose -to split the voltage of
niy high -Towered existence with me."
"Well, take a free look at me, sir,"
Burney suggested.
"I have. That's the reason you're
general manager.
"Oh, no, it isn't, Your Majesty. I'm
just a pinch -hitter. You've hired me
and made me general manager for one
rcaeon only, and that is to rid you of
Martin Bruce and Miguel Gallegos."
"Well," said the king unashamed,
"what cbjeetion have you got to that
program?"
"I object to your effort to hand me
what is practically a fatal problem,
under the guise of being nice to me--
under
e—under the pretense of having seen in
me a future executive of your com-
pany—a smart young fellow who
.tight to be given his chance. Unfor-
tunately for your reasoning, I don't
want your job of general manager for
mare than sixty days, and I think 1
would be less than fair not to tell
you this.

The Open Eye
By Robert T, Tristram Coffin
There is a salt -marsh far away,
Perilous and deep,
The heavy oakwoods lean above,
Blue herons walk in sleep
Around the ponds of indigo
&s herons walked ages ago,
Not all the wings of all the birds
Could wake that place to sound,
The bees upon the rosemary
Hang golden, drunk, and drowned,
In the air there stirs no breath,
The birches stand as white as death.
The Hark ponds have an evil depth
As fathomless as sky.
Though sleep has bent_ the sedges
down,
Some very open eye
Is watching hot and steady there
Like a spider in its snaro.

Baseball Clubs ;Say Tremend"
ons Waste of Balls Must
be Stopped
The groat American horse -hide -
must not be wasted, Baseballs have
been costing the major leagues ap-
proximately $160,000 a season, Fran-
cis J. Powers inforina in a Gonsolidtb'
ted Press Association dispatch, add-
ing that "it is small wonder that.
club owners are intent upon reducing•
waste." The use of baseballs, he con -
tines, has been most prodigal during .
the past, five years, "reaching ,the.
point where players were sccustoined
to toss out a ball" whenever it suited
their fanciest"
Because of this, the American;
League, according to Mr. Powers;has
this season been trying to reduce,
waste, and to, this end has kept a
-record of the balls used",in each game..
The figures for the first part of the
season are most int, resting, the writer•
assures as he proceeds to a discus-
sion of methods' .used. to keep the•
cast of balls within reason,
American League umpires are hand-
ed the four . dozen balls, obligatory
for the home team Co supply, before.
the start of each game. The umpire -
in -chief then takes .a portion of the.
supply and puts it in the box ;near -
the plate, while the others are locked
in a leather bag, and removed only'
'as •needed and by the umpire.
No balls can be -thrown out of. an.
American League until after they have -
been inspected by one of the umpires.
A player may be dissatisfied with the.
ball in play, suspect it of being' scuff-
ed or wingy, but his opinion must' be•
approved by the umpire before a new
sphere is put into play. At the start.
of the season,' E. S. Barnard, Presi-
dent of the American League, issued
a bulletin to players ordering them
to keep -halls in •play as long as -Dos-•
Bible, and it has been well obeyed.
Records .for the early part' of the.
American League season "show that
the tremendous waste in baseballs.
does nbt come from home runs, bit.
out of parks, nor from balls scoffed
or scarred in play." Not at all, eve -
are assured, for:
The waste comes from balls hit Into.
stands, and since the American
League clubs no longer make a.ser-
tous effort to retrieve those captured
by fans, any ball , into the seats is.
counted as lost.
In the first 240 games played by
American League clubs—thirty in each.
city—a total of 6,306 balls were used.
01 these 3,574 or more than 50 per
cent, ware lost in the grand stands.
The greatest number of balls used
during the thirty games mentioned
was in the Chicago White Sox park.
A total of 945 were necessary in the
Sox games, and of those 502 were lost
in the huge stands that are double -
decked around almost the entire play-
ing field. In a single game at Com-
isky Park, twenty-four were hit into
the stands and lost. The smallest
number used during the thirty -game
period in any one pads was 662, and
of those 414 disappeared into the
seats.
Since the minimum number of base.
balls used by any American League
club in 1929 was 550 dozen, the item
of supplying these important sinews•
for the game Is rather a costly one,
anti the magnates can not he blamed
for wanting to practice a bit of econ

Is reckoned as a lovesome spot;
There is no pleasure,like a seed

Until it blooms—yet I by far
Prefer mine wild, or in a jar.

In England your thoughts turn to teas:
In lovely gardens under trees.
Thin bread and butter, slice by slice,
Strawberries and clotted cream are

To keep the tea content and good.

So do their ghosts, which make our
