FIND LAD
But the outstanding event of the
story came when the rangers, lead-
ing the man back to the hut, dis-
covered a ten year old boy jumping
up and down with excitement, clap-
ping liis hands with glee, and call-
ing for a rifle that he might join
in the chase. Beside the lad was
an elderly woman, her face worked
to a hideous frown. Tobacco juice
ran down her chin as she began to
shout oaths at the officers, they
said, condemning them for disturb-
ing the secrecy of their distillery
and for breaking the tranquility of
the sleeping ravine.
In the interior of the hut rang-
ers said, they found a whisky still
of large capacity and two more a
shor,t distance away. The equip-
ment was broken up while the ma

All through the procedure, Cap
tain SJferling noticed the delight ex-
hibit® by the small boy whose eyes
(Vrilibne with a peculiar glint, leading
the captain to open a conversation
with the lad.
Hoy's Story
Billy Ainsworth was his name, the
boy said, at first timid at the thought
of confiding with an officer. Then,
when he was assured that he would
be given every care, the lad broke
down in tears and told his pitiful
story.
Billy was raised in an orphanage
at Amarillo- He could but faintly
recall a mother but his father was
unknown to him. His, life at the or-
phanage was as happy as such a
pjlace could afford, he said, but all
happiness was snuffed out he said,
when the moonshiner and his wife
came to Amarillo to adopt him less
than a month ago.
In Secrecy
Living in secrecy in the deserted
canyon with the moonshiner and his
wife, the lad was taught to make
whiskey and his life threatened if
he ever dared to disclose the plant
he said.
Day after day the hoy quietly
went about the business he was then
learning, much against his will and
youthful judgment, bravely bearing
the cruelty of the gruff moonshiner
und his wife, he said.
The appearance of officers, seiz-
ing the distillery and capturing the
moonshiner, who, incidently, the
rangers said, was later discovered to
be a notorious Oklahoma outlaw in
hiding because of the many charges
facing him, once more brought hap
piness and sunshine into the little
fellow's life, bringing about an un-
usual climax. J
Today Billy Ainsworth has a tem-
porary home with Captain Sterling
and his force of hardy rangers at the
Marland hotel- Some day lie is going
to grow up to be a ranger, too. hr>
says, but in the meanwhile he hopes
through the aid of his officer friends
to find a home in which he may
reach that stage of manhood.

the baseball lid was blown off in

onstrate their abilities.

With a primitive nature, Waged a
thrilling exhibition during the' ani-
mal races and rodeo at the circus
grounds south of Borger Sunday af-
ternoon.
The buffalo, one of the many ani-
mal entertainers belonging to "Hack-
berry Slim" Johnson, dashed from
the stock, threw his rider before he
had traveled thirty feet, and then
delighted himself in a maddening
flight for liberty.
His first move was to make a high
leap over the head of a girl who was
selling popcorn from a machine,
then run dizzily among cars parked
in a circle, and wind up his chase
by hurling his huge carcass through
a wire fence, coming to a halt along-
side a group of grinning mules.
Five thousand persons witnessed
one of the most stupendous outdoor
exhibitions ever staged here at the
lot north of the oarbon black plant
on (he Pp.nhpnjlle highway yesterday
afternoon.
Dogs raced rabbits by the dozens,
dogs chased a wild c"oyote around
(he enclosure, a coyote and a pack of
dogs attempted to overcome a bob-
tailed wildcat in a sensational light
in the open, and a dozen cow-punchy •
ers rounded out a magnificant prog-
ram by riding bucking broncs, steers
and buffalo. \
It was a perfect day, everyone ad-
judged following the last event, and
wound their way homeward after
spending an entire afternoon wit
nessing animal sport activities. And
events followed one another in such
rapid successío1í"""(*f¡atTÍLe occasion
rivaled a performance of the world's
largest circus.
Then the horses, among which
were Red Snapper, Accident, Lightn-
ing and Blue Daughter, the wildest
of the group, did their bit to enter-
tain by unmercifully tossing their
riders across the field before them,
while steers bucked and reared and
added to teh excitement.

The authority is Guido Negri,

Not only are the stars fastidious
but they have "strange appetites."
