The latter demurs, however, and it is only when "Sky" promises to take the entire bunch that he agrees. The cowboys set out for the effete East to comply with the provisions of the will. The other heir of the uncle, and who will benefit if "Sky" fails to carry out the provisions of the will, decides to cheat "Sky" out of his rightful inheritance, and in accordance with this scheme enlists the services of Goldie La Croix, an actress.

'You're a fine bunch of short horns," said Sky. ■pHE editor of the Moving Picture Weekly received this week a felicitous communication from M. Flores Cabrera, director, publisher, proprietor and editor of the Renacimiento, of Santo Domingo, in which he requests an exchange of magazines. The number which accompanied the letter is dated June 15th, 1916, and contains excellent illustrations of timely subjects concerning the difficulty on the Mexican border, and contains a general miscellany of news of interest to Santo Domingans. It is published in Spanish, and the makeup and composition of the magazine are exceedingly artistic and effective. The liberal patronage of advertising argues a remarkably healthy condition, and speaks well for the future of the magazine.
