Lumber
Inspection
Not Required
The majority of archi

lumber before final ac

This is an unnecessary
service when buying from
us.
Our lumber is carefully
graded. When No. 1

too much of our business
reputation to substitute
No. 2 grade.
And we have never had
any person find our

CHAPTER XVli—collingeford meets

The cattle followed but the men had
to beat the first through away from
the gap. They had stopped to eat and
had blocked the way. At last they
were all in and the gap closed. One
or two stood with straddled feet and
continued to low, their lips just brush
ing the lush grass. "Poor beasts," said
Lieber, the smile gone from his face,
"they are too weak to eat."
He and Gerry went back to the
bouse for breakfast. The herders sat
and smoked. They had had coffee; it
would see them through half the day.
Before Lieber left, the horses were
herded once more and with much trou
ble driven out upon the desert. Lie
ber turned to Gerry. "Don't let them
back In until tomorrow, please," he
said. "If you do, they'll founder."
"What about the cattle?" asked Ger
ry.
"The cattle are all right. They
haven't enough spirit left to kill them
selves eating. They'll begin lying
down pretty soon. Good-by, and re
member, you'll got a warm welcome
up at Lieber's whenever you feel like
riding over."
"Thanks," said Gerry. "Good-by."
He watched Lieber ride away on
the road the priest had taken. Fa
zenda Flores, his isolated refuge, was
beginning to link itself to a world.
Man, like a vine, has tendrils. To
climb he must reach them out and
cling.
The reward of those long months of
preparation was at hand. Once every
spade thrust had seemed but the pre
cursor to barren effort. Now every
stroke of the hoe seemed to bring forth
a fresh green leaf. Life fell into an
entrancing monotone. It became an
endless chain that forged its own links
and lengthened out into an endless
perspective. Days passed. The ar
rival of Lieber's foreman to see how
the stock was progressing was an
event. He brought with him an old
saddle and bridle—a gift from Lieber
to Gerry. "He says," the foreman re
marked with a leer, on making the
presentation, "you can ride anything
you can catch."
Gerry felt the foreman needed put
ting in place. He went into the house
and reappeared carrying something in
bis hat. He climbed the fence and
called. The horses raised their heads
and looked. Some were lazy after wa
tering but the others trotted over to
ward him. They stopped a few yards
off and scrutinized him as though to
divine his intentions. Then they ap
proached cautiously, with tense legs,
ready to whirl and bolt. A greedy colt
refused to play the game of fear to a
finish. He strode forward and was re
warded with a large lump of sugar.
The sugar was coarse and black, first
cousin to virgin molasses, but it was
redolent. The horses crowded around
Gerry. They pawed at him. He had
to beat them back. They made a bold
assault on the empty but odorous hat.
Gerry laughed and cleared the fence to
get away from them. "I think your
master must be mistaken," he said
with a smile to the foreman. "Some
of these colts can never have been
backed."
The foreman looked his admiration.
He began to take Gerry seriously; it
was man to man now. He pointed out
the horses that were broken to saddle
and named their gaits and mettle.
Then his shrewd eyes looked around
for further details to add to his report
to his master. He noted that a few,
a very few, of the cattle were still
lying down when they should have
been on their feet and eating. These
were herded into a corner of their own
and old Bonifacio was tending them.
Beside each was a pile of fresh cut
grass. As they ate they nosed it away,
but Bonifacio uiaiie the rounds ana
■with his foot pushed back the fodder,
keeping it in easy reach.
The foreman's eyes caught on two
new-born calves. They had been taken
from their weak mothers and were In
a rough pen by themselves. The fore
man did not have to count the stock
to see that none was missing. He was
cattle brerl. A gap In the herd or the
bunch of horses would have flown at
the seventh sense of the stockman the
moment he laid eyes on the field. In
stead there were these two calves.
"Master," he said to Gerry, "you have
made up your mind not to lose a head.
You would save even these little ones,
born before their time!"
Gerry nodded gravely. He had
worked hard to save all. He winced
at the mere thought of death at Fa
zenda Flores even down to these least
weaklings. He himself had fed them
patiently from a warm bottle. In trou
ble and valuable time they had cost
him an acre of cotton. But an acre of
cotton was a small price to pay for
life.
A grip of the hand and the foreman
was off In a cloud of dust. At the
bridge he pulled his horse down to the
shambling fox trot that spares beast
and man but eats steadily Into a long
journey. A bearer of good tidings ridea
slowly.
Gerry turned to his work hut a cry
from the house arrested him. He
dropped bis field tools and ran to the
house. Dona Maria glanced at him,
clawed and hustled him out of the
room—out of the house. The door
slammed behind him. He heard the
great bar drop. He was locked out.
Gerry paced angrily up and down
the veranda. Calm came back to him.
He saw that he had been a fool. He
stopped and sat down on the steps of
the veranda. Here, before he had
made his benches, she had often sat
beside him, caressed him, sung to him.
How cold he had been. How little he
had done for her. He remembered
that as she had worked on baby
clothes she had said she wished she
had some blue ribbon. They had all
laughed at her. but she had nodded her
girl's head gravely and said, "Yes, I
wish I had some blue ribbon—a little
roll of blue ribbon." What a brute he
had been to laugh!
Gerry still waited. Tt was terrible
to wait. Then she called to him,
"Geree! Gerec!" He leaped up
and pounded on the door hut nobody
came. Yesterday they had all been
servile to him: today he was nothing.
He shouted. "I am here! I shall al
ways be here." She did not call again.
He paced up and down the veranda
saying to himself, "A little roll of blue
ribbon—a little roll of bine ribbon!"
He stumbled on the saddle that Lieber
had sent bim. It held his eye. He
picked up the bridle and ran down to
the pasture. He caught the oldest and
gentlest of the horses, opened a gap
In the fence and led hlin out. Then
he called Bonifacio. "Listen." he said,
"you must take the fattest of the
steers—the red one with the blazed
face—you must drive him into town
and sell him."
The darky demurred. "It is too late
for market, master."
"It does not matter. You must do
as I say." said Gerry angrily. "You
must sell the steer. If you cannot
sell him you must give hlin for blue
ribbon. Do you understand? You
must bring back blue ribbon for your
mistress. She says you must have a
little roll of blue ribbon."
Honrs passed and Bonifacio re
turned. He laid a little package and
some money beside his master. He un
saddled the old horse and turned him
into the pasture: then he came back,
eat down at Gerry's feet and slept.
Gerry looked with wonder on his nod
ding head. Then the door opened and
Dona Maria came bustling out. "Home
in," she cried; "thou art the father of
a man child."
Gerry went in and knelt beside the
bed. Margarita looked at him and
smiled faintly, proudly. He laid the
little roll of blue ribbon in her weak
hand. She turned her head slowly
and looked down. She saw the glint
of blue and understood. She turned
her eyes, swimming black pools In a
white, drawn face, to Gerry. To sao
rittce she added adoration.
The calm which had settled on Alix*
life puzzled her. She wondered if she
was beginning to miss Gerry less. She
was still debating the point when Col
lingeford arrived In the city. Upon
arrival he called on Mrs. J. Y. and
then on Nance and then, of course, on
Alix. As she came into the room he
felt a strange fluttering in his throat.
It stopped his words of greeting. He
stuttered and stared. He had never
felt so glad at the eight of anv one

I The VITAL RELATION
of Successful Delivery
| Business Should Impel Every Merchant
jj to Use PACKARD Light Service Trucks
DELIVERY today is more than mere hauling. It is the link
between the merchant and his customer. Upon its character
- ofttimes depends the continuance or curtailment of patronage.
It is either an active ally or an energetic enemy of profits.
The keenest business men pick their delivery equipment with the
care that a bank picks a cashier.
Heretofore, light delivery offered the most intricate puzzle. The
difficulty was to find an economical carrier backed by a company of
known responsibility, in which speed, carrying capacity and endur
ance were combined in effectual combination.
PACKARD .LIGHT TRUCKS were produced to meet the wide
spread and insistent demand for such a delivery unit —one capable of
S converting actual hauling into actual dividends.
The qualities of endurance and efficiency that have made Packard
heavy trucks supreme in all branches of heavy hauling are embodied in
their construction, together with an increased speed and radius of action.
■ They are built in two sizes, rated respectively at Ito 1M tons and
IY2 to 1% tons. The full Packard commercial line includes five other
5 sizes—ranging from 2 to 6H tons, —all of the same advanced chainless
design, a truck for every purpose and for any load. A telephoned
request will bring- one of our salesmen to discuss with you the
motorizing of your hauling.

4,000 Stamps a Minute 1
\ A marvelous machine in the Bureau
lof Engraving and Printing, at Wash
ington, manufactures postage stamps.
It completes twenty-one separate op
erations at the same time, and prints
the stamps at the rate of 4,000 a min
ute.
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, which makes all of the paper
money for the Treasury Department,
us well as all of the stamps, is Uncle
i Ham's model factory. Great irianu
! I'acturers concede that, it is about as
nearly perfect as such an institution
can be made.
Especially is it a striking oexample
of how efficiency may be increased by
[providing the most favorable envlron
j nient for employes. The workers in
I this bureau are supplied with light
from windows which make up over 60
per cent, of the walls and roof, and
I from electric globes of the highest
| power and softest tone. They are
1 furnished with fresh air by an im
mense fan which distributes water
: cooled air to all parts of the building,
j keeping it literally as fresh as the out
' of-doors. These fortunate employes
I also get excellent meals at a restau
i rant in the building for very low
! prices, and during the summer
! months, dances are held during the
noon hour on the roof.
As a result of all these measures for
the welfare of the employe, when
there was call for currency to meet
the situation created by the European
war, the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing was able to meet the situ
ation with a display of speed and
power that amazed everyone.

Steckley's Shoe Store, in
One Location For Half
Century, Is Moved
The present trend of business im
provement in the city of Harrisburg
is not limited to the downtown section
exclusively, as is demonstrated by the
announcement of William W. Steck
ley, manager of the Steckley shoe
store, 404 Broad street. Mr. Steek
ley announces that on or about the
first of April the present location will
be vacated and the business moved to
the new store room, 1220 North Third
street.
The Steckley shoe store is one of
llarrlsburg's oldest business houses,
having been established in 1867 by
Matthew Steckley, father of William
W. and Warren Steckley, the present
owners. The business was begun in a
small one-story frame building, on the
site of the present location and was
enlarged from time to time to meet
the requirements of business expan
sion. The building was enlarged
three times during the forty-nine
years and now again the present fa
cilities have proved inadequate to
handle the steadily increasing busi
ness.
