THE
LONGHORN:
By
EDWIN

‘the rest down, ’cept him.
3 Plains cattle transported to the
mountains breed to shorter horns;
but in the K Slash steer herd was a
banded yearling-—“banded” because
the was all red except for a white strip
completely encircling him just back
of the shouldars—which certainiy
was a reversion to type.
fp Long-legged, long-horned, he was
patterned upon some remote Texas
forebears. ‘We viewed him with some
interest as a curiosity; but as a mod-
ern beef animal he was a failure, and
the beef round-up in the fall discard-
ed him to give him another chance.
| The weather stayed remarkably
warm. The flies persisted, there was
little water, and after the beef round-
up the drive from summer range to
‘winter range was a hard one. The
steer herd especially was unruly, and
riders and horses fumed and fretted.
Where the trail led near the bank of
® deep arroyo, a dried water-course,
the banded yeariing, disputing right
©of way with another steer, was pushed
over. He fell a sheer thirty feet,
Janding with an audible thump and
grunt.
i Into the arroyo, after him, plunged
a rider. Where a cow—on the cattle-
range the term ‘“‘cow’’isapplied indis-
criminately—goes, there a horse shall
go. But the horse, catching hoof in
root, reached the bottom in a Lzap,
and with a broken leg.
The rider called for help, and in
the meantime the banded yearling
went galloping down the miniature
canon. We let him go. He was “no
good,” anyway.
It was two months after this before
A 70
rider, stopping at the ranch bunk-
Bouse, remarked as a piece of news,
“Saw that longhorn steer you fel-
lows lost to-day.”
“Whereabouts?”
“In the timber half-way up Blue
Mountain. Tried to get close to him,
but couldn’t. Wild as an elk. He
was all alone. Horns still growing,
too.”
“He ought to be joining some wild
bunch.”
“Will,
onery.” :
{ But that winter, as far as we could
ascertain, the banded yearling passed
in solitariness. When the. 7U man
had descried him he was twenty miles
from the arroyo, heading back toward
the abandoned summer range. The
country was all his. No cowboy, un-
cidentally, intruded upon him, for
range duties lay elsewhere.
i The fine fall weather lasted until
after Christmas, and the onslaught of
winter found the fugitive ensconced
in a little park just below the summer
range.
The grass here had not been
eropped, except by deer, and was tall
and crisp and nutritious. A splendid
cedar, low-branching, set against a
ledge of rock, proffered him shelter
as in a stable.
Nothing disputed him; the winter
was favorable; the winds drifted the
snow, leaving the grass exposed much
of the time, and when the grass was
covered, the tops of the brush still
projected, to be browsed upon.
In the spring the fugitive’s condi-
tion must have been first-class—for
him. He was now a two-year-old.
His horns, long, flaring, tapering, in
true Texas style, had shed their
roughness, aside from an almost in-
distinguishable button of it at the
tips. And with the spread of horn
well-nigh overbalancing the lean,
white-banded body behind it, the
promptings of spring sent him forth
from his retreat, traveling.
; And just in time, too; for shortly
after his departure a XK Slash rider
inspected the refuge, read the story
of the weeks, and rejoining his com-
panion, reported:
“I bet I've found where that old -SS
Jonghorn spent the winter. Some cow
animal has been bedding under a
cedar yonder, and eaten everything
clean all round.”
“Like enough,” corcurred the oth-
er, laconically.
Since his escape the longhorn ap-
parently had made no attempt to seck
other cattle. Evidently independence
appealed to him as to be enjoved
safely but morosely. But the spring-
tide probably filled him with vague,
uneasy impulses, and he wandered in-
definitely on. Instinet was guiding
him toward his birthplace on Sheep
Mountain. We know this, because
dt was at the base of Sheep Moun-
tain that Billy Nelson, of the M Bar,
saw him next.
It was early May, and five In the
snorning, and Billy was cutting across
from he horse camp, where he was
stationed. to the K Slash ranch quar-
ters. Suddenly he heard an outburst
probably—unless he’s too
of bellowing an sunrting, his horse
stopped short und beg mn to snort also,
and looking along the 3lope, Billy
saw, in an open place among the
squaw-Lerry bushes, the longhorn—
whose markings made him unmis-
takable—head low, confronting a big
cinnamon bear. Billy's horse threat-
ened to stampede; but Billy held him
tight, and, as the two fighters seemed
not to mind spectators, waited.
Very likely the bear had come
upon the steer, expecting to take him
by surprise. But now, here amidst
the brush of the mountainside, in the
misty grayness just at sunrise, the
two, heads down, faced each other.
The one was as gaunt as the other,
but the steer was probably the more
vigorous; he had been the longer out
of winter quarters. Taken too ab-
ruptly to think of retreat, his blood
was up. His fore hoofs threw the sod
high over his back; his irritated
snorts changed to a continuous bel-
low of angry protest. The bear's
voice also rose and deepened till it
became an incessant, snarling roar.
Alert, sidling about, waiting for an
opening, the two combatants de-
scribed a little circle.
On a sudden, with a rabid, splut-
tering cry, the bear lunged like a
great cat, half-rising, forefeet out-
spread. His claws ripped down the
longhorn’s right shoulder; but the
steer’s right point caught him full in
the throat, piercing hide and flesh
and hurling him backward. Quick
as he was to recover, the steer was
quicker, thrusting him in the side
and bowling him down the slope.
Whereupon the bear; his spring zest
for beef quenched, fled.
The longhorn, hoofs again throw-
ing sod, stood bellowing defiance.
Presently he rushed down; but his
enemy was not there. A conqueror,
he began to ravage the field of battle,
circling ever wider and wider; and
Billy turned his horse, ready to leave,
if requested. The steer’s shoulder
was bleeding, blood was upon his
horns, and Billy says that he himself

did not care to contribute. However,
the longhorn abruptly trotted away
amidst the pink dawning, tail
crooked, head outstretched, bellow-
ing.
Billy followed after. The longhiin
evidently had a definite purpose.
Across the valley could be descried
a bunch of six other cattle. Billy rec-
ognized them as a “wild bunch.” A
cowboy can tell a bunch of wild cattle
by their actions alone. The longhorn
was making for them. As he drew
near, he stopped every few steps to
paw and rumble and gather foam,
and rake the bushes. with swinging
horns. Out from the little group an-
other steer, black-and-v hite and
short-horned, came to meet him.
For the necessary few moments
they indulged in mutual abuse; and
then, the preliminaries having been
executed, they closed, front clashing
with front.
The black-and-white steer was no
match for the infuriated longhorn,
which so recently had thrashed a
bear. He slipped, yielded, with a
sudden swerve turned, and taking a
final prod in the flank, galloped for
cover.
“Hurray!” applauded Billy, wildly
waving his hat. Then he left. Gaz-
ing back, he saw that the longhorn
was now one of the group, and that
a new champion was licking his
wounded shoulder.
When Billy reported, we XK Slash
boys were quite proud of the long-
horn—the champion which bore one
of our brands, the SS.
“Saw that old longhorn you fellows
lost;” a Bar D man next reported.
“He's with that wild bunch on
Sheep.”
This was a week later.
“Still with them, is he? How's
he looking?”
“Fat as an Arkansas hog. Run all
I'd sure
like to get a rope over his big old
horns once.”
The sentitious wish was received
with a comprehensive grin.
That wild bunch numbered ten—
by their brands renegades from SS,
7U, Bar D and Cross herds—eight
steers, a cow and a maverick heifer.
As wild as deer, even wilder in their
rebound from captivity, their in-
stincts sharpened, they roamed the
timber, associating only with each
other. This, the south flank of Sheep
Mountain, was their selected habitat.
The longhorn, the “old longhorn,” as
he was becoming known, was their
leader.
They lived as did cattle in the be-
ginning, before subdued to man. Eye
and ear trained to the utmost, they
could no more be approached unsus-
pecting than could an antelope in the
open. When a cowboy rode into their
territory, they knew it. From far
distant he could note them lifting
their heads to watch him. Presently
they would be cantering away. Oc-
casionally they were chased by in-
truding riders, either for sport or for
closer examination; but they scarcely
were worth the bother and the peril.
They were lean, alert, self-sufficient;
and, as a rule, they did exactly as
they pleased, easily evading the
round-ups. ps 7
. During the ensuing two years “that
wild bunch” of Sheep Mountain, espe-
cially to be recognized by the leader,
changed considerably in personnel.
The cow and her maverick daugh-
ter were accidentally caught in a
spring round-up and placed in herd;
the black-and-white steer was shot
by roving Ute Indians; two other
steers were butchered by “rustlers”
for their hides; wolves and bears
made further inroads. Once two K
Slash riders, by a cunning detour,
and emerging, according to plan,
from opposite sides of a draw, had
dropped a loop over the longhorn’s
neck—whereupon the longhorn had
snapped the rope, which was possibly
frayed, and had galloped off with the
loop, leaving "the “cow-punchers”
chagrined.
However, the bunch gained re-
cruits, and maintained about the
same number. *
The longhorn was appioaching his
sixth year when there descended upon
the country a winter remembered
by many a steck outfit. It was
marked by a tremendous snowfall,
particularly throughout the hills,
where it spread tragedy over the open
range. J
Usually our first storm of the sea-
son is but a preliminary trumpet-
blast—the signal for the world to
prepare. Thereafter ample time is
given. But this season storm suc-
ceeded storm; the layer of snow was
constantly added to, until the cov-
boys from the ranches packed fodder
up into the mountains, and even the
deer were glad to accept succor.
The wild bunch rapidly diminished.
It was each for himseilf; regardless
of others. Some died; some, diverg-

promise, must have struggled desper-
ately on, wading, plowing, taking ad-
vantage of every bared spot, until
finally he reached that agreeably re-
membered little park where he had
spent his first free winter—where the
grass had been so abundant and the
cedar had so sheltered him.
Here the snows of February shut
him in, beyond escape. The grass
was covered deep. In places the tall-
est shrubs, such as the thimble-berry
bushes, appeared above the surface.
He ate their tops, and nosing down,
followed and chewed their woody
stems. He ate of the cedarg, stretch-
ing high and ever higher for some
pitifully meager twig.
As far as he might step from his
own cedar he Kept the snow tramped
hard; beyoud, winter girded him with
its cruel white wall of drift and of
silence. Even the jays abandoned
him. They could fly. The only
sounds in those days, on the mountain
slopes where he was, were the moan-
ing of the wind and the lugubrious
howling of the famished wolves.
His horns must have been the sole
portion of him that shrank not. They
must have looked larger than ever,
while his body was wasting until his
red hide, with its white band, set as
if drying over his frame of bones.
Then, in March, came a sleet, form-
ing a crust upon the snow; and with-
out delay came the gray hunters.
No doubt right in the broad, cold
day they ringed him about, in the
midst of his tramped area. He stared
upon them, and strove to rise in gal-
lant defensz. But as his hind quar-
ters feebly rose, the gray captain
darted In and hamstrung him. The
rest of the work was easy. Within a
couple of hours probably even the
white-banded hide was gone; oniy the
largest bopes endured.
In May a Bar D cowboy, riding past
the spot, dismounted and picked up
the remnant of the skull and tied it
behind his saddle.
“There’s that old longhorn,” he
announced, casting it to the ground
at the K Slash ranch, “isn’t it?”
“It’s certainly most of him,” we
agreed. “Where'd you find it, Bob?”
“Under a big cedar, up on Little
Chief. Wolves must have got him,
or he just naturally died, I reckon.”
“This winter cleaned out a whole
lot of those wild cattle, I'll wager,”
remarked our foreman, turning the
skull over with his foot.
And gazing at the relic I, for one,
felt amomentary wave of regret. We
should miss the longhorn; he had
become a character. But he had lived
his wild, free life—an existence bet-
ter than that which falls to the lot
of the great majority of cattle,
coerced, herded, driven beasts of the
range. In the death of every animal
of field and forest there is a certain
amount of pathos; but die they must
and do. The longhorn had only met
his fate, meeting it, however, not in
the butcher's shambles, but in the
open which had been his unrestricted
home.—Youth’s Companion.
The Art of Getting a Husband
By MARION ARMSTRONG.
. Men have, since the world began,
been angled for deliberately by girls,
and times out of count have been
caught.
for husbands, and will continue to
catch them as long as marriage is the
fashion—a state likely to coincide
with the length of time the world
lasts. But for all that, it need not
be asserted, as it so often is, that all
girls angle.
Why should the word be used,
moreover, with such bitterness?
Surely it is not wrong of girls to be-
have charmingly and make them-
selves look attractive and pretty, and
especially so in the eves of those men
for whose good opinion they are most
anxious? If they were to wear sack-
cloth and go about veritable kill-
joys, is it likely they would succeed
in winning what they want?
It is said that love is never evenly
distributed, and that in every couple
engaged and married there is more
on one side than the other. Women
fall in love with the opposite sex just
as often as the opposite sex does with
them. What is to happen if a girl
sees a man she believes she could
fondly love, and whom she is sure
would fondly love her, if she be de-
barred from angling for him?
A Girl May Not Propose.
A girl may not propose to a man.
She may not put to him the anxious
question, ‘““Do you love me?” From
her lips it would be unpardonable
were the tender pleading “Will vou
marry me?” to preceed, but she sees
one whom she has good reason to
think she could wed and be happy
with, and the sole step she can right-
ly take to bring about a declaration
of love from him is just this: She can
make herself so pleasant and fascin-
ating that he falls in love with her,
and asks her that sweet question that
she has so deeply longed to hear
from him.
The feminine angler should be
very cautious. Let her declare her
purpose—should it be only by a star-
tled word—and a hundred eyes will
dart scorn at her, a hundred tongues
condemn her. She who is wise, how-
ever, is careful—both for the sake of
the man she loves and her own repu-
tation—that the little wiles she prac-
tices shall appeal only to him, and
shall not be observable by those on-
lookers who are popularly supposed
to see most of the game.
Women are undoubtedly endowed
with a special measure of instinct,
and are therefore able to accomplish
wonders, apparently never planned or
premeditated.
Every Man a Victim.
‘Woe be it, then, to the man who
does not want to fall in love should
some fair daughter of Eve will that
he shall.
She need not be deceitful, nor for-
ward, nor unwomanly; she need
merely be a tactful, purposeful, clever
girl; one who, knowing her own pow-
ers to charm, exercises them for the
most valuable end and aim life offers
—that of forming a home in which
two persons may be happy, and from
which may radiate a sufficiency of joy
to make the world about it more con-
tented and felicitous than it was be-
fore.
There is all the difference in the
world. between the girl who angles
honestly so that a happy union may
be had with the man she loves, and
the girl who angles simply for the
achievement of some tribute to her
vanity.—New York American.
Poisoned by Tiger Whiskers.
In the recollectionsof a well known
big game hunter in India it is stated
that after skinning a tiger it is al-
ways necessary to guard its whiskers,
as the natives have an unpleasant
habit of cutting them up very small
and mixing them with the curry of
those they dislike.
The finely divided bristles set up
an irritant poison, the results of
which often prove serious.—London

PENNSYLVANIA STATE NEWS
PIPER'S NEW MOVE
Cashicr of Suspended Bank Enters
Nolo Contendere Plea.
Washington. — In criminal court
Oliver F. Piper, late cashier of the
Peoples Bank of California, entered
a plea of nolo contendere to three in-
dictments of embezzlement and falsi-
fication of the bank’s books to the
amount of $69,285. In cne indictment
were 199 counts. 1t had been expect-
ed this afternoon that Judge Taylor
would sentence Piper, but sentence
was deferred, the district attorney
calling the case against Piper and
W. IL. Lenhart, in which the two are
indicted jointly on two charges of
conspiracy to defraud.
Lenhart’s attorneys announced their
client had been granted a continu-
ance and Piper’s attorneys then asked
for a severance in order that the case
against the former cashier might be
heard separately. This was granted
and Piper's case was placed on the
trial list,
The district attorney then asked for
a postponement of the cases against
Piper and Max Avener, charging con-
spiracy. He informed the court he
had anticipated a strong defense in
the Piper case and had devoted his
time to preparing the case against him
alone and was not prepared toc take
up the trial of Avener and Piper. The
continuance was granted. Lenhart’s
bond was reduced from $25,000 to
$10,000.
