Once he and his pony- ■ had drunk there; they would he safe from pursuit. " . And. after him, perhaps a mile away, rode the sheriff. Jeff had had him In plain view all the time he rode. But now he felt secure. Once his pinto had drunk, he could easily out­ distance the sheriff’s horse. Freedom was his, though the shadow of the noose had dangled over him all that morning, He had shot his partner, BUI Salee- by, his friend of years, In a Quarrel over cards, ' Both had been drunk— that was why the thirst tormented him so now. But,he had shot BUI, and, leaping on his'horse, bud ridden madly Into the desert. How he saw the water-hole In front of him.. He kicked liis jaded anluml Into a tope. A few moments later he had dung himself from its hae&mfod was lapping up the precious fluid, While his pinto put its head down and drank greedily. Satisfied at last, he remounted, H e . felt from the easy movement of his mount that It was now good for' many a mile. He started off again. ■But after covering a, few hundred yards he pulled in and looked back. The sheriff’s horse had fallen—a Quar­ ter of a mile, perhaps, from the wa­ ter-hole. He saw the sheriff stagger­ ing about like a drunken man. Bound and round he went1—and dropped again. ■ - ■ At once the meaning of this came to Jeff. The sheriff did not know of the water-hole, or did not know how near It was. Had he known,, he would have pulled himself together, concen­ trated all his strength in the endeavor to make the few hundred yards re­ maining. As he watched he saw the sheriff go down for the last time and lie still. Exultation' filled Jeff’s heart.- He was free—he was freeI . He rode on a hundred yards farther. He reined in and looked back. Sher­ iff and horse were-sUU lying where he had seen them before. They would die there. Jeff sat like a statue. All sorts of thoughts ran through his head.. Bit­ terness and grief for the death of his partner Bill were foremost. Why/ should he save the sheriff when a bet­ ter man than he had cashed In that morning'! He would almost have given his life to have had his partner back again. For years they had* been to­ gether, prospecting, sharing good for­ tune and 111. . Now he had killed B ill- Over a measly game of cards, and ' there lay the sheriff. “Shucks I” he muttered, “Come on, pinto. I guess we got to save' the cuss.” He knew the risk; that the sheriff would still have strength enough to Shoot him, as -lie returned. His heart misgave him; a dozen times he Btopped ’the horse and called himself a fool as he turned buck. Neverthe­ less, he kept on. He had filled his canteen at the ‘"•water-hole, and now, after stopping for another drlnl: for himself and his pinto, he rode back toward the mo­ tionless figures of horse and matt. He rode cautiously, his pistol in his hand. If the sheriff tried any tricks with him he fiieant to spur his pony hard, rldq up, and try to put a bullet Into him before he was mortally wounded. But the sheriff did not stir. He rode around and rcconuoltered,. Ho saw now that the sheriff had raised hls head. He strained his eyes to see whether he had a six-gun in his hand. The light was blinding. “Sherlffl” lie yelled. There came no answer. “Don’t shoot !” he called again. But still the other was silent. And then, taking his chance, Jeff kicked his pony and dashed at full speed toward the pros­ trate man, threw the reins and dis­ mounted. The sheriff was waving an empty hand at him. Jeff ran to him. Next Instant he let out a whoop. “Bill! Bill, by all that’s holyl” “You—dumed old fool,” Bill mut­ tered. “That bullet hit my watch, didn’t hurt me.. I rode all this way to tell you to come-back; it’s all right.” His head dropped on hls arm, Jeff kneeled heslde him and put the canteen to hls lips, g l e n WEUK-ERT 15IHS«ai HitJb .Street FI umu K*, lt«J»|l»7-W Sprioafcilwld, Ohio. i-xrga-Tbitimbad Women Intelligent, A French writer domes all women by the ekw of jj^dr thumb#.

Accomplishments of farmers working together in the Farm Bureau organization gave proof of its value. They show the need and opportunity for enlarged activities of the organization. Another three year period of Farm Bureau work is starting with the membership campaign in the county opening December 5. Our past record.and Our present plans give the reasons why you as a farmer should support the Farm Bureau and join with other farmers in the efforts being put forth forward improved marketing, production and the solution of other farm problems. JUST A FEW FACTS The Farm Bureau in Greene County has aided in a number of successful co-operative marketing efforts. Livestock producers have used.the county co-operative as­ sociation in marketing livestock valued at more than a million dollars since the formation of the organization in 1921. In­ creased returns to farmers of the county have amounted to thousands of dollars. Six co-operative cream stations in.the county have likewise brought greatly increased returns to producers, and whole milk, producers-have benefitted in like manner. Wool producers are using co-operative methods in market­ ing 30,000 pounds of wool this year. Selling wool co-operatively has brought several cents a pound in greater returns to many producers. < Tobacco and poultry marketing w6rk is getting under way. Co-operative purchasing is bringing savings to those who are using this service of the organization. Working with the Extension Service production methods and other activities carried on through the organization haye brought increased profits to farmers in every part of the county. • . • - • ■ •■ ■ ’ { • • • ■ ' I i Seed corn testing, and the bringing in of improved wheat seed have increased yields per acre and brought greater profits to producers. Boys and Girls club works directed by the Farm Bureau has given valuable training to nearly 200 farm boys and girls this year Farm women are working together in the organization to­ ward improvement of farm and home conditions in the county. Livestock improvement work has been carried forward through better sires work, disease and pest eradication and other activities. Soils studies and improvement efforts have been carried forward in many ways. * 1 Poultry production methods have been demonstrated to hundreds of flock owners of the county. But these achievements are only part of the story, even in the county work, joined with State and National organizations, Greene County farmers have had a part in solving many prob* terns that could not have been solved in the county. Ask about the work ©f the entire organization. IT IS GOING FORWARD Greene County farmers are already planning Farm Bureau word for the coming years. The first step in future plans is the membership campaign. The Farm Bureau has proved its worth. Its future is bright. Every farmer in the county should be a member. Support the work. Join your efforts with these of other farmers. It’ s mass action that counts. GREENE COUNTY FARM BUREAU m tin- ths A Aft or*- £% T pent amo be beft T> Ing than refit- we > 4uci - verj pure .
