FARMER SMITH'S
PIN-MONEY TALK
Dear Children Isn't it perfectly
wonderful? Wc have this minute
over 18,000 members, but that is not
enough. Clubs in New York, Cincin
iall and Kansas City each have over
75,000 members. Of course, it has
ialen them over a year to get that
Ioany, but wc have only been working
since Thanksgiving, 1915.
One of tho FIRST things we are
taught in this beautiful club of ours
is to be of service and somo of our
kemhers are earning PIN MONEY
In a very pleasant way after school
and on SATURDAYS,
If you are wide awake and willing
to do some pleasant work, send mo
your name and address and I will
Wp you. Do you think as much about
the money as you do about the fact
ihW it will help you in after life if
i'Bjps begin earning money NOW.
COMIC VALENTINES
,i 0h, goodie !

your editor. Ho will print the BEST comic valentines received in the Kain
kw news next Saturday, so you tan CUT OUT comic valentines and send
them to your friends.
Don't waste a minute. Send in a comic valentine NOW.
If you want to send a comic valentine to your editor, do so, but make it

"Stranger," he said "I'm much obliged

had broken tho quiet How ot life. Ho

caused lingered on. Two weeks after his

mincing steps on tho bridge mado Gerry
look up from his work. Kemp was rid
ing toward him. H was ns though Jio
camo In answer to Gerry's constant
thoughts. Gerry hurried forward to meet
him.
"Howdy," said Kemp and paused on
that to measuro his welcome. He was
satisfied nnd urged his tired mule on
toward tho house. Gerry walked beside
him nnd learned that tho shipment of
orchids had Just caught tho steamer
at thp const. Kemp unsaddled his mulo
and tossed the harness nnd slicker Upon
tho veranda. Gorry onencd tho gap Into
tho pasture and the mulo nosed Its cau
tious way through to'water and tho grass.
As Gerry was closing the gap Kemp camo
up nnd stood beside lilm. Ho cast n
knowing oyo over the fat stock. "Ton
done a good Job for Llcber," he remarked.
Gerry nodded n little sadly, "Yes," ho
said, "tho contract's filled. Lleber's send
ing for tho stock day after tomorrow."
As they snt on tho veranda that night
smoking endless cigarettes Kemp turned
to his host. "D'ye mind If I stay over
a day with you? Truth Is, I want to
ho'p drive thnt stock up to I.lober's. I
want to he'p whistle a bunch o' steers
along onco moro and smelt tho dust an'
the leakln' udders, an' I shouldn't won
der If I let out a yell or so corralln' 'em
at tho other end."
Gerry nodded understanding. "Why
did jou leave It?" he ventured, and then
regretted and murmured, "Never mind."
Hut Kemp was not ortcned, "Naw," ho
said, "I hain't killed my man not lately
nor anything llko that. I left It," he
went on rcminl.,cojitly, "because I
couldn't he'p It. I got to dreamln' nights
of pu'plo cities."
"Purplo what?" exclaimed Gorry.
Kemp took a clgarotto from Ills mouth
and almost smiled. "Never did hear of
Tho Pu'plo City, I reckon?"
Gerry shook his head. Kemp drew a
well-worn wallet from the capacious In
ner pocket ot his vest and took out a
RAINBOW CLUB
bank account in n Broad street bank.
He is one of tho pin money squad, too,
so you may expect to see that bank
account grow.
Brer Rabbit's Telegram
It was nearly noon time when Brer
Rabbit jumped into the Woodland
telegraph office and shouted:
"Can I send a telegram?"
"Don't know," replied tho operator.
"What do you mean?" asked Brer
Rabbit.
"You may send a telegram," said
the other fellow.
"Smarty," answered Brer Rabbit,
taking a olograph blank.
"Who is it to?" asked the operator.
"You don't have to know that, do
you?" asked tho fellow with the long
ears.
"Yes," ho replied.
"Well, it's to Mr. Squirrel, Sica
more Tree, Woodland, U. S. A."
"Go ahead and write it," said the
fellow behind the desk.
"I don't want you to see it," said
Brer Rabbit.
"This is not a postoffice."
"Hurry up. Time is money." The
operator started to go to work.
"I guess it is," replied Brer Rabbit.
"But say, if Mr. Squirrel comes in,
tell him I want to see him."
"All right' answered the operator.
"Now SCOOT!"
And Brer Rabbit did scoot.
The King and the Sentinel ,
(By Gilbert Harris, Snyder avenue.)
About fifty years ago n great
country was at war. The sentinel
who was on duty heard footsteps.
"Who goes there, friend or foe? Ad
vance and give the countersign if
friend," he said.
It was the king in disguise who ad
vanced and gave the countersign.
He said to tho sentinel, "Come
with mt and have a drink of wine
nnd a cigarette?" Tho soldier was
ver nngry at tho.o words and said:
"Off with you before I kill you. I
would not drink or smoke now." The
king was pleased with this reply and
tho next day when he rode past tho
sentinel' he said, "For your obedienco
to tho rules you shall receive a gold
medal." Tho soldier wore the medal
all his life and never forgot those
words he spoke to the king.

through tho printed lines. Then ha rend
them through agnln,

On the purple city's .walls,
I heard the catfish calllnB, .

I saw tho paper sunbeam,
Bproutlnjt Jrom the p-ilnlei sun;
I piw tho sun was sullen,
Tor the day had hut begun.
Of dusty desert sky-road,
Ten thousimi miles nnd more,
Stretched out heforo the morning,
And ll.e sun sat In tho. door,

As he started up the sky,
And ho drowned tho purplo city,
In a tear-drop from hla eye.
No moro slnll purplo pnnsles
Look up at purplo pinks.
Nor purplo roses rhal
Tho cheeks of purplo minx.
Alia! ror purplo cltv,
And Its purple.pcopled halls!
Alisl for mo and mangoes.
On tho purplo city's nails!
Gerry looked upon his guest with new
wonder as ho handed back the clipping.
Kemp put It awny carefully, rolled a fresh
cigarette nnd blew n thick puft of Bmoko
out Into tho moonlight. "Can't say It's
po'try nnd I can't say It ain't. All I
know Is it roped me. I know Hint writer
feller nover munched no mangoes, 'catiso
mangoes don't munch. I know ho never

'catiso catfish don't call. Hut ho seen It
nil, stranger, Jest the way he writ it
down, nn' I be'n dreamln' pu'plo cities
ever senco I read his screed."
"Did you start right out to look for
them?" asked Gerry gravely.
"Naw," said Kemp, "I didn't havo
iiothln' to go on. Hut ono dny a drum
mer feller thct I was stagln' across the
White Mountains give mo a plant maga
zine, and It hnd nn article on commercial
orchids with pictures In colors.
"They was mostly kinder pu'plljh nn I

It was tho fotctnnn polntln' out my mount
to mo an' I didn't lose no time. I ilrnppcd
my ropo on htm nn' I'vo been rldln' him

"Found any purplo cltles7"
"Not rightly. I seen 'cm more'n once.
15ut I guess pu'plo cities is always yon
side of tho mountain. You can't Jest rldo
up nn' put your brand on 'em. They're
born mavericks and they dlo mavericks.
An' I saj-, good luck to 'em." Kemp rose,
tossed awny his cigarette end nnd stood
leaning with crooked elbow nnd knee
ngnlnst n veranda pillar. His keen
aquiline features and deep-set eyes were
lit up by the moonlight nnd seemed
scarcely to belong tq his great, loosc
Jolntcd frame. Ho was loose-Jointed but
llko a llnll strong nnd tough. "There's
one thing about tho pu'plo cities," he
added, "the daylight always beats you to
'cm Jest like In tho po'm." Ho turned
and went oft to bed.
Gorry sat on In the moonlight seized by
a strange sadness the sadness the spirit
feels under the troubled hovering ot the
unattainable nnd tho mirage. Life had
queer turns. Why should a cowboy start
out to look for purplo cities? It was
grotcsquo on tho face of it but, beneath
tho face of It, It was not grotesque.
Margarita stole out to scat herself be
side him. Sho slipped licr hand Into his.
Pho wns worried. Sho wns nlways wor
ried when Gerry's thoughts wcro far
away. "The Man," sho said, for thus sho
had christened her baby boy from tho
day ot his birth, "tho Man sleeps. He
cried for thco nnd thou didst not come.
So ho slept, for ho is a man."
Gerry's thoughts came back to his lit
tle kingdom. Ho sighed and then ho
smiled a smile of content. "It Is Into
then, rat Mower?" He put his nrm nround
her. "Let us go to bed, for tomorrow
there is woik."
"Tomorrow there Is nlways work," said
Margarita. "I am not afraid of work.
Gcree. The end of woik never comes. It
Is tho things that end that make mo
afraid " She, too, had felt the flutter
ing wings ot tho unattainable. Unknow
ingly she stood beneath tho shadow of
the stranger's purplo city's wnlls.
Tho next day Kemp tried honestly to
help Gerry with tho tilling of tho soil,
but the effort was still-born. Kemp had
almost forgotten how to walk nnd his
lilgh-hecled boots fell foul of ocry hum
mock. "I.ook'y hero, Mr. Lansing," he
said nfter hnlf nn hour's toll, "ain't there
t.o colts bad tins you want backed nor
calves to brand? This hero dlggln' wakes
up tho rheumatlz In my J'lnts."
"What nbout milking tho cows?" sug
gested Gerry.
Komp actually blushed. Ho cast a quick
glance at Gerry to see If this was some
weak witticism to bo promptly resented,
but was reassured by tho surprise In
Gerry's face. "Stranger," ho said, "I
iln't never touched no cow with my
hands. If jou want I should ropo 'cm
an' hog-tlo 'em, I'm your man, but some
missus will havo to tako the milk away
f'm "cm."
Gorry threw back his head nnd laughed,
but his laugh was stopped short by tho
glint In Kemp's eye.
"That's nil right, Kemp," he snld. "Tho
mlfsus la milking them, right now.
What's tho matter with you Just taking
i holiday? You've done a hard rldo and
(t won't hurt you to havo a loaf."
Kemp wandered off to the house with
solemn face. When Gerry came in to tho
midday meal, ho found him with a saddle
cropped on tho arm of a bench giving
tho delighted swaddled heir to Fazenda
Flores his first lesson in equitation.
That night they sat again on the
veranda steps, but Kemp was not talk
ative. He whittled a stick until it dis-

then Immediately started on a fresh one.
"Known Iteber long!" asked Gefry at
last
"Goln on two years," replied Kemp.
"Docs he live off his stock?"
Kemp looked up. "Haven't you ever
b'en up to Lleber's?"
"No," said Gerry, "It's two years since
I enmo here and I've hever been off tho
place. Lleber's been down here a couple
of times.'"
Kemp Arunted but nsked no further
question "Liebcr," he eald, "c'talnly
don't lle olTcn his stock he plays with
It. Lleber is tho goatskin king. Ships
'cm by tho thousand bales, If you or
any other man in theso parts was to
sell a goatskin away t'm Llcber, you'd
bo boycotted. Lleber on this range la
God you're for him or you're ng'ln' him
nn' thero nln't be'n any ono ag'ln' him
for somo spell now."
"Oh," snld Gerry.
"As for knowln' him," continued Kemp
"everybody on this round-up knows
Lleber, but thero ain't anybody knows
why ho Is. Llcber holds questions and
smallpox about alike, He nln't thar when
they hnppen."
CHAPTKn XXIV.
LIHUIStl, nccompanlcd by two herders,
1 camo early for his stock. Ho greeted
Kemp warmly, "Going my way?" ho
nsked,
"I b'en loafln' nround hero with that In
mind," drawled Kemp "I'll tako a hand
If jou'll nllow me n mount."
"You can take your pick," said Lleber;
"that Is, after Mr. Lansing tins had his."
Tho thrco of them walked Into tho pns
ture. Lleber looked nt tho stock with
kindling cps. He tinned to Gerry nnd
hold out his hand. "Shake," ho said, and
Gerry did. "What do you say to tho first
five of tho hoises out and last ton ot the
cattle for jour shore?"
Ocrry Hushed. "That's moro than fair,"
ho said, "You know tho best of tho
horses will load the bunch nnd tho fnttcst
ot tho cnttlo will lag behind. You sec,
they're till strong now."
"Thnt's just it," said Liebcr. "They're
alt strong now, and it you hadn't taken
'em over they'd have been mostly dead by
now. I'm satlsfled-moro than satisfied
and If you are, too, why it's nil right,"
The herders wcro sent to tho upper gnp
to head in tho llrst five out. Kemp, who
had seized one of the saddled horses nnd
was already mounted, cut hoises out from
cnttlo nnd with a whoop carried them
toward the lower gap. A beautiful Iron
gray gelding broke away from the bunch
and trotted up to Gerry to nose at his
pockets. Flvo horses sprang through the
gap and Lleber headed back tho rest. Ho
turned to Gerry with a smile, but the
light had gone out ot Gerry's face. He
stood, with head hnnglng, his nrm ncross
the nrched neck of the iron-gray. Lleber
strodo over to him, his silver spurs Jing
ling. He laid a big hand on Gerry's shoul
der. Tho gelding sprang bnck with a
snort. "That's all right, boy," said
Llcber. "I wouldn't give tho roan out
yonder for two of him. Will you trade
even?"

"You can have the lot for this one," eald
Gerry with n, laugh.
"No," said Lleber gravely, "Just the
roan."
Kemp had gone off to round up hla
mule. Ho camo up from the river, driving
It beforo him. At every Jump ho caught
tho mule a flick with his rope and the
mulo kicked nnd squealed, but cams on
with long, stiff-lodged strides. "Hl-ylt"
yelled Kemp and snatched olt his hat to
beat his mount, while he kept tho rope
end flickering over the mule.
Ocrry and Llcber laughed. Kemp wns
llko a mummy come to sudden life. "Do
you know what?" said Gerry. "I think
I'll como along with you." He led the
Iron-gray out by his forelock nnd old
Bonifacio hurried to help bridle nnd sad
dle him. Llcber mounted his stallion nnd
turned the horses ns they came out. Kemp
suddenly sobered down to business. When
Llcber hnd thrown back tho Inst ten of
tho cnttlc, Kemp camo out nnd closed
the gnp behind him.
"r think I'll go ahead with the horses,"
said Liebcr.
"You go and take yo' men with you,"
Rnld Kemp. "I could drive Ihl, fat bunch
from here to Kansas with nary a hand
to spell me "
"Well, you'll havo Mr. Lnnslng to help
you," snld Llcber, and rode on to where
his men wcro holding tho horses In a
milting, kicking mass. They passed over
tho brldgo nnd awny In a moving pillar
of dust, for tho desert hns swallowed
tho first rains nnd wat air dy crying
for more. Tho cattle strung out and fol
lowed slowly In their trail. With whistle
nnd yell Kemp urged on tho laggards
until he hnd the whole string well In
hand. Ho kept them nil traveling, slowly
but steadily, and With never a. word to
Gerry. Toward evening his eye caught
the glint of the sun on the white plllnrs
nnd wnlls of n dlstnnt house. Tho house,
was In tho midst of tho desert. Hoyond
It loomed a single big Joa trco. "Lleber's,"
said Kemp, nnd Gerry nodded.
Gorry hnd expected a surprise of soma
sort when nt last he arrived at Lleber's,
but the things ho saw thcic, strnnger
than anything ho could hao Imnglned,
left him calm and unmoved ns though
somo prescience had propnied him. Tho
houso was built on tho usual solid lines
ot plantation headquarters. Great, rough
hewn beams; towering rafters, built to
carry tho heavy tiles and to bear tholr
burden for generations; uncclled, vast
rooms with calclmlned walls; all theso
wcro not outside Gerry's experience In
tho now land. Tho strnngeness enmo with
the rugs nnd tho linen, tho etchings nnd
tho furniture, nnd last nnd most signifi
cant, tho shelves nnd shelves of books
nnd the tnble.s piled with mngazlnes In
three languages. Everything boro tho
stamp of quality, ocrythlng had tho dis
tinction of a choice.
Ocrry did not let hla curiosity carry
him beyond n rapid glance around tho
great living room where they found Lle
ber, bathed and freshly dressed, super
intending tho making ot Ico In tho lntcst
Ingenious contrivance for the pampering
of tho pioneer. The three men gathered
