CHAPTER XXXVL—(Concluded) i sand yearlings didn't cost 'you a cent
Two days passed and the ranch was because you sort of sweated them out
sold, and a week later the king,
dressed for dinner, heard somebody
of the deal, and they're worth forty
dollars a head. Ken, you're a smart

fine lyric baritone voice floated up-
stairs to His Majesty, indicating that

was singing the Toreador Song from
Carmen.
"Wonder who that Johnny -cone -
lately might be?" the king rumin-
ated.
As he entered the drawing room
Ken Burney rose from behind the
piano. Mr. Burney was arrayed in
dinner clothes and a charming smile.
"You're certainly looking very ele-
gant," His Majesty greeted the prodi-
gal. He shook hand with just a shade
of reservation. "May I inquire to
what happy chance we are indebted
for this unexpected visit?"
"Why, I've been away a long time,
so I thought I'd drop around and take
up with you a certain little ,natter of

"Well, you see, sir, cattle prices

profit and make niy get -away any
time before the third payment fel)
due. So Dan abandoned all thought
of seeing me default, and when I
offered him ten per cent. on the de-
ferred payments provided he gave me
an extension for one year, he fell for
it. Dan didn't know any other place
he could get ten per cent. for his
money, so I just kept on using his
ranch as if I owned it. About a hun-
dred thousand people own that ranch
now—one acre homesites, you know.

"Well, you yo'ng folks—" His Ma

"What," he demanded sternly, "has

"Muriel was that girl. I had met
her once at a dinner party in Santa

that night. She was quite under the

valuable pictures have to be carried

they are invariably- sent via the air-

in a single day to effect the aerial
transport and delivery of packages to
such important, destinations as Brus-

All possible steps are taken to alm-
plffy air -goods transport. Consign-
ments from the provinces come up by
rail to London and are collected by
the airway vans from the railway ter-
mini and taken direct to Croydon for
dispatch on the next departing 'plane.
An important point, when consider-
ing the airway as a ,weans of transit
for urgent loads, is that insurance is
cheaper by air than by any other
transport, owing to the absence of
pilfering and the great reduced risks
of breakage.

Soon, by gocd luck, the rain stopped,

But night was coming on, and we

That sort of bed doesn't • appeal to
me so much, however, so I got up and
started over to the little old deserted
cabin. It was only a rough little cabin
some woodsman - had built—and was
really as lonely: ds • could be—but it
looked mighty snug and homey to me
right then. The sun was rapidly sink-
ing behind the hills, and strange
sounds drifted down from - the tail

all the rest of the whole world to
grow in, of course, it had to grow

steer straight for it.
