"Ain't that a sweet country, Shorty?" he murmured to the short, bandy-legged man, hard of face and slow of speech, who rode beside him. Shorty's answer was a grunt. He glanced with a trace of annoyance at the suave, whimsical Buck. The grass was good in the buttes. They camped there. For two' nights they had watched the twinkling lights which marked the little town of Par- adise. The lure was insistent, and on patio, a magpie scolded in raucous, at his feet a rough map of the valley. the third evening they rode into the tones.

But Buck and Shorty edged to the bar steps and ran down the graveled and waited. One -eyed Manuel, the Mexican bartender, was busy else- where. The delay irked Bodine. Catching the butt of his glowing eig- aret between thumb and forefinger, he shot it straight as a bullet into Man- uel's face. Manuel's hand trembled as he set out the glasses for the two strangers. He smiled evilly. The incident had passed quite un- noticed by the crowd. Wash Taylor, a ragged old mule -skinner, had been one of the very few to observe it. He laughed immoderately. When Buck bade hila drink, he acquiesced with alacrity. Bodine drew from the old skinner the complete history of the valley. "I'm sort of lookin' round for a place," Buck was saying. "If I could find a small ranch hereabouts at the right price, I might be interested." "The only place for sale in this hull valley is the old Webster ranch. No water there at all now. Used to be plenty in the old days." Wash drained his glass. "Used to be some place then. Hank owners due west from where Rebel Creek forked into the Webster. He. had all the water. A cloudburst changed that in one Light. When it "was all over, Hank found the mouth of the Webster damned up like a ma- son job. Rebel el Ciee done the SOIL had has been some stream ever ;ince." "What happened to Hank?"Buck demanded. "Oh, Hank gave up the ship. He's runnin' a store down in Golconda, ac- cordin' to last reports." Shorty and Buck came down from the hills and camped at the deserted ranch.

Tewl e Finer Quality They Did Nett Look In view of the widespread attention that has been directed to the matter of motor accidents -during the past season, it is interesting to note that' out of 864 deaths so caused dating the year 1.927, only a total of eighty, t or nine per cent. occurred'at railway crossings. While the number is de- plored, as being too many, there is reason for encouragement in the fact that government reports recently is- sued note a marked tendency towards, a decrease in this percentage of cross- ing fatalities. The ,year's total of 864 motor acci- dents compares with 606 during 1926, the increase largely reflecting the tre- mendous increase in the number of� motor cars travelling on Canadian roads. Despite this fact, railroad disregard safety. Motor accidents are crossing fatalities for the two years becoming more frequent. Every sane were -exactly the same, numbering .motorist deplores this.

Thus, while the percentage are to be lessened, the sans motorist of such fatalities in 1927 was nine, 4 must educate the culpably negligent in 1926 it was over thirteen per cent.' motorists...." It is interesting to note that the I In co-operating in the elimination total death rate in Canada from of grade crossings, in supplementing motor accidents in 1927 was 9.1 Per recognized and standard warnings hundred thousand of population, and with .wig -wags and other devices the for 1926 it was 6.5.

This fact, and also the diminish- ing percentage of crossing accidents in Canada may he set down to the various safety campaigns that have been. carried on, and to the efforts that have been put forward both in the way of crossing protection and by the publicity in which latter direc- tion" they have been greatly aided by the public-spirited attitude of the press, towards the matter. ' The report of the Board of Railway Commissioners shows that forty-five accidents occurred at protected cross- ings, and also that during 1927 there deaths. Toronto's ' co11tributions in were seventy-four accidents as a result Ontario was only about twenty-three of motor vehicles running into the per cent. of the total.

MOs crossing accidents, but they cannot do the work alone, as is demonstrated by the report which shows that day by day the automobile driver "ignored warning; broke through the gates"; "Did not 'look for the approach of train, father and daughter killed"; "Crashed into side of train. Fined: $10 in court". These actual quotations from the list df "dangerous practises" are from the report of the Board of Railway Commissioners. A report issued by Dominion Bureau of Statistics states that in the Prov- ince of Quebec, Montreal is respon- ible for one-half of all automobile , ate !attempts to beat the train.
