With ays and two other rustlers, Happy Jack and Lincoln, Jim all starts out for Herrick'. ranch, CHAPTER v. Next morning they got a late start. Nuvertheless Hays assured Jim that o Shey, aud reach Star' Ranch towards Sonne trail led up a wide, shallow, gravelly canyon full of green growths. They '12de on side by side. The trail led into a wider one, coming around from the northeast. Jim did not miss fresh hoof tracks, and Hays was not far behind in discovering them. "Woods full of riders," he muttered. "How long have you been gone, Hays?" inquired Jim. "From Star Ranch? Let's see. Must be a couple of weeks, Too long, by gosh! Herrick sent me to Grand Junction. An' on the way back I circled. Thet's how I happened to make Green River." "Did you expect to meet Happy Jack and Lincoln there?" "Shoe. An' some more of my out- fit. But I guess you'll more"n make up for the other fellers." "Hope 1 don't disappoint you," said Jim dryly. "Well, you haven't so far. Only I'd feel better, Jim, if you'd come clean with who you air an' what you air" "Hays, I didn't ask you to take me on." "Shore, you're right. Reckon I fig- ured eerybody knew Hank Hays. Why, there's a town down here named alter me, Hankville." "A town? No one would think it." "Wal, it ain't much to brag on. A few cabins, the first of which I threw up with my father years ago. In his later years h2 was a prospector. We lived there for years. I trapped fur up here in the mountains. In fact } got to know the whole country except thet Black Dragon Canyon, an' thet hellhole of the Dirty Devil. .. . My old man was shot by rustlers." "] gathered you'd no use for rust- lers. . . . Well, then, Hays, how'd you fall into your present line of busi- ness?" "Haw! Haw! Present line, Thet's a good one. Now, Jim, what do you reckon thet line is?" "You seem to be versatile, Hays. But if { was to judge I'd say you relieved people of surplus cash." "Very nice put, Jim. I'd hate to be a low-down thief. . . Jim, I was an honest man once, not so long ago. It 'was a woman who made me what I am today. Thet's why I'm cold on women." "Were you ever married?" went on Jim, stirred a little by the other's erude pathos. "Thet was the hell of it," replied Hays, and he seemed to lose desire to confide further. They rode into the zone of the foot- hills, with ever-increasing evidence of fertility. But Jim's view had been restricted for several hours, permit- ting only occasional glimpses up the gray- -black slopes of the Henrys and none at all of the low country. Therefore Jim was scarcely prepar- ed to come round a corner and out into the open. Stunned by the magni fitence of the scene he would have halted Bay on the spot, but he espied Hays waiting for his ahead. "Wal, pard, this here is Utah," said Hays, as Jim came up, and his voice beld a note of pride. Round the cor- ner here you can see Herrick's valley It's a bit of rich land thirty miles long an' half as wide, narrowin' like a wedge. Now let's ride on, Jim, an' have a look at it." Across the mouth of Herrick's gray- green valiey, which opened under the escarpment from which Jim gazed, extended vast level green and black lines of range, one above the other, each projecting farther out into that blue abyss. "Down in there somewhere this Hank Hays will find his robbers' roost," soliloquized Jim, and turned "his horse again into the trail. Before late afternoon of that day ness. Ten miles down from he head of the valley a pine-wooded bench, al- ters | ost reaching the dignity of a prom- who] ontery, projected from the great slope of the mountain. Here where the| ing | of 4 straggled low cabin of peeled logs, yellow in the thé numerous barns, sheds, corrals. A steal | stream poured off the mountain, white in exposed places, and ran along under the bench and out to join the main brook of the valley. Somewhat apart from both the cor- rcls and outbuildings on the flat stood a new log cabin, hurriedly built, with chinks still unfilled. The roof extend- ed out on three sides over wide porch- es, where all observed three or four beds, a number of saddles and other riders' paraphernalia. The rear of the cabin backed against the rocks. Jim understood that Hays had thrown up this abode, rather than dwell too close to the other employees of Her- rick. From the front porch one could drop a stone into the brook, or fish for trout. The pines trooped down to the edge of the brook. Naturally no single place in all that velley could have been utterly devoid of the charm and beauty nature had avished there, but this situation was ideal for riders. Hays even had a private corral. As Jim rode up to this habitation his quick eye caught sight of curious, still-eyed men on the porch. Also he observed that there was a store of cut wood stowed away under the porch. "Wal, here we air," announced Hays. "An' if you don't like it you're shore hard to please. Finest of water, beef, lamb, venison, bear meat. But- ter for our biscuits. An' milk! An' best of all--mot very much work. Haw! Haw!" "Where do we bunk" asked Jim, presently. "On the porch. myself." "If you don't mind I'll keep my pack inside, but sleep out under the pines," responded Wall. When at length "Jim carried his effects up on the porch Hays spoke up: "Jim, here's the rest of my out- fit. . . . Fellers, scrape acquaintance with Jim Wall, late of Wyoming." That was all the introduction Hays volunteered. Jim replied: "Howdy," and left a return of their hard serut- iny until some other time. Hays went into low-voiced confer- ence with these four men. Happy Jack hauled up the supplies. Brad Lincoln occupied himself with his pack. Jim brought his own outfit to a far corner of the porch, Then he strolled among the pines seeking a satisfactory nook to unroll his bed. Jim, from long habit, generated by a decided need of vigilance, preferred to sleep in coverts like a rabbit, or any other animal that required pro- tection. At length he found a niche between two rocks, one of which was shelving, where pine needles furnished a soft mat underneath and the murmur of the brook just faintly reached him. Jim would not throw his bed where the noise of rushing water, or any- thing else, might preclude the service of his keen ears, There was no step on his trail now, but he instinctively distrusted Lincoln, and would un- doubtedly distrust one or more of these other men, Hays exemplified the fact of honor among thieves. «Jim had come to that conviction. This robber might turn out big in some ways. But could even he be trusted? Jim resolved to take nc chances. I took to the attic CHAPTER V. Not until the following morning did Jim Wall get a satisfactory scrutiny of the four members of Hays' outfit. The eldest, who answered to the name of Mac, was a cadaverous-faced man, with eyes like a ghoul. "Whar you from?" he asked Wall. "Wyoming, last," replied Jim, agreeably. Jeff Bridges, a sturdy, tow-headed man of forty or thereabouts, had a bluff, hearty and d not to pry under the surface. "Glad Hank took you on," he said. "We need one cattleman in this outfit, an' thet's no joke." Sparrowhawk Latimer, the third of tlie four, greater 'resembled a horse thief Wall had once seen hanged. Hays had said to Slocum, the fourth member of this quartet: "Smoky, you an' Wall shore ought to make a pair to draw to." "You mean a pair to draw on," re- t.rted the other.

These classes could be conducted by the personnel man, with occasional help from a leader in the community. The latter could instruct the foreman in the technique of producing group spirit. There should also be instruc- tion in phychiatry and the tenets of occupational therapy. Problems could be discussed at these meetings and a general interchange of experiences made in the art of handling patients, getting them to work and arousing their interest." a-------- Wishes I wish that it were really true, That 1 could see the good in you, And you the good in me; That all of us would "gve a miss" To foolish, thoughtless prejudice, And practice charity.

"In the exhibit," Dean Ackerman said, "one may find the ovigin of the modern newspaper. The early pam- phlets 'were written to interest busi- ness men and maintained a personal commercial character. Their object was advertising in embsyo." Execution of Charles Told One of the most interesting exhib its is the pamphlet published by Peter Cole in 1648 telling of the exe- cution of Charles x It is prefaced with one of the earliest examples of newspaper MHeadlite, The dramatic death of the King is told in full de- tail in dialogue, part of which fol- lows: "King: When { put out my Lands this way then-- (stretching them out) "After that, having said two or three words (as he, stood) to Him- self with hands and eyes Nit up; Immediately stooping down, laid His Neck upon the Block: And then the Executioner again putting his Hair under his Cap, the King said (think- ing he had bin going to strike), Stay for thessigne. "Executioner: Yes, I will, please Your Majesty. "And after a very little pawce, the King stretching forthe.his hands, The Executioner at one blow, severed his head from his Body. "That when the Kings head was cut off, the Executivner held it up, and shewed it to the Spectators. "And hig Body was put in a Coffin, covered with black Velvet, for that purpose. "The King's Body now lies ir His Lodging Chamber in Whitehall" The pamphlet ends solemnly with a line in large italics: "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi." The newspaper in its primitive form; according to the Columbia School of Journaislm, came to Lon- don from the Low Countries early in the seventeenth century, It was known as a "coranto," probably de- rived from current or curento, to gig- nity that it was relaying "news while it fg news," The Thirty Years' War was then in progress and the coranto, published irregularly, sprang up In London in 1621 to satisfy the demand for war reports. The next step was the appearance of the authorized "diudnalls" of Parliament. News pamphlets in the exhibition record Parlidmentary proceedings of the time, and also contain accounts of the battle between Blake ana Van Tromp and de Rlyter, Cromwell's campaigns in Scotland and Ireland, and Monk's entry into London, which preceded the return of Charles II, Paper of 1667 Shown The establishment of the first news- paper in the modern sense, The Lon- don Gazette in 1667, is marked in the exhibition with a copy for Aug. 1-5, 1667. There also is a copy of the first trade' newspaper, "A Collection for Improvement of Husbandry and Trade," including many features strikingly like those of to-day, such as stock prices, exchange quotations, corn prices and want ads. The first English daily morning newspaper, the Dally Courant, which appeared soon after the accession of Queen Anne, also is represented.

She has also developed a con siderable industry in the manufacture of fur goods, and, to a smaller degree, in the, dressing of raw furs. Since the war Montreal has been established as 'an international fur market, and Edmonton. e 'greater part of Can- sda's production is still taken by trap- pers, but the fur farmer is playing an increasingly important role in the fur trade of the Dominion. Canada's exports of furs greatly exceed her imports. For the year 1931 total exports of furs from the Dominion were valued at $18,625,063, compared "with imports of $6,244,627. Of imports two-thirds consisted of raw furs for the fur goods industry, the value being $4,188;850. The prin- cipal kinds of furs 'specified i in the im- pert returns included fox, kolinsky, mink, muskrat, Persian lamb and rabbit. Imports of dressed furs and manufactures of fur in the same year were valued at $2,065,677. i The chief market for Canadian furs is in the United Kingdom with the United States a close second. The total value of raw furs exposted from. the Dominion in 1931 as $13,406,552, of which $6,578,162 went. to the. Un- ited Kingdom and $5,343,338 to the United States. The principal item among exports was silver or black fox, of which there were 115,800 skins exported with a total value of $4, 899,802. Next in order of value in the export returns is the item "fox skins other than black or silver," with a value of $1,812,611, and" this is fol- Jowed by muskrat with a value of $1, 474,017, beavér with a value of $1, £55,163, and mink with a value of $1, 2, 723, Other furs of importance in the trade are , lynx, BE and wolf.
