ticed small lump in its surface. Was
he deceived, or did the lump move?
More from curiosity than any other
motive he grasped corner of the bed
clothes and jerked them back. Great
heaven! There in the very center of
the bed, with its cruel claws working,
lay full-slZed tarantula, one of the
most poisonous creatures alive. A
slight noise at the door caused him to
turn. There stood the girl, her eyes,
big with fear and horror, fixed on the
deadly spider. Without word Wood
hall raised his arm and pointed an ac-
cusing finger at it. For a moment the
girl tried to speak, but could not. Then
slowly and painfully she whispered:
You thought did it?"
Woodhall bowed his head in grim as
sent.
On the instant, before he could stop
her or even realize her purpose, she
had sprung to the bed, grasped the
horrible thing and placed it in the
bosom OF her dress. AS 1t stung her
she stretched out her arms toward
Woodhall, uttered piercing cry, and
fell across the bed. At the same mo-
ment he became aware of an evil face
at the doorway-the face OF Gongorez,
the ranch foreman. In an instant
Woodhall had him covered and COM
manded him to enter, which he did in
sullen, half-scared way. At last
Woodhall saw the whole plot.
"Gongorez," he said, in strange,
harsh voice, ''this is your daughter?''

until the last spark of life was gone.
A moment later sharp report rang
through the hut and then Woodnall
galloped away-alone.
Next morning he appeared at break

faro layout together with the Mexican
games, were operated in the barroom,
which opened directly into the dance
hall. BY this simple arrangement the
MeXicans could lose their money in
the barroom while the cow punchers
obtained their ''load, /" and then worked
IT off In the qnadrille.
Bob" said Woodhall, lazily turning
to Mcqueen, who was watching the
faro, ''do they ever have any good
looking girls here?"
Sometimes pretty Mexican girl
shows up, but good looks don't last
j long at Phenix,' was the reply.
They say that Gongorez, our fore
man, has-by Jove, old chap, did you
see the dealer hold out the nine-spot
just then?"
.''No; but everybody is too full to
notice those little things, I suppose.
Come, I've enough of this. Let's move
on"
The truth was that Harry Woodhall
had just been undergoing that last and
worst wrench. He had been tearing
up the root that had been feeding on
j. nope, tuSA WIG pEOCSSS AAu0 AOA0 AA1AA -
a reckless state of mind, when Moth
ing seemed to matter. The. money,
which he carried in belt around his
waist, seemed weight that was
dragging him down, away from every
thing, and the thought nearly mad
dened him.
Mcqueen had gone for his horse,
leaving Woodhall alone on the steps of
the Legal Tender. A low voice at his
elbow startled him.
It's it Senior Woodhall?'
He turned sharply and faced the
4.questioner. "A tall, slim, dark haired
Mexican girl stood before him. Over her
shoulders she had thrown many-col-
ored serape which only half concealed
the well curved and graceful lines of
her figure. Her coal black hair hung
in q long plat, and her eyes seemed
! almost luminous as she stood in the
Shadow beside him. She was beautl-
i full, there could be no doubt Of that,
4 and as Woodhall stood there staring
ut her, wild, half-formed resolution
took possession OF him, borne of his
recent fierce struggle with the last
hope.

'Yes, l am Woodhall," he answered

Eyes, am Woodhall," he answered
her; what is 1t. /"
''Will the senior come with me q
Httle?"
Without a word Woodhall sprang on
his horse. The girl quickly mounted
COW pony tied near by, and together
they dashed off into the darkness.
Within the Legal Tender tho dance
and the games went on. Not soul
had seen their quick disappearance.
Mcqueen hunted about little, saw
that McQueen's horse was gone, cursed
him for an unsociable brute, and
started back to the ranch alone.
It was dark, forbidding looking
abode at which Woodhall and the girl
dismounted. AS near as he could judge
they had ridden two or three miles
southeast across the track. The mys-
terry and novelty of the affair struck
him as he was tying his horse, yet he
was hardly prepared for what fol-
lowed. AS he entered the doorway OF
the hut, a pair of warm, plump arms
closed about his neck and he felt the
pressure of the rich, red lips Of the
Mexican girl upon his own. And
Woodhall was very human.
At last soft little hand within his
led him-for it was quite dark
through a passage-way into a small
room lighted by single tallow candle
and containing only a rough table and
bed.
''Will the senior rest?" and then after
moments pause: Il will return
soon." She was gone before he could
prevent it.
Woodhall sat down on the edge of
the bed to think, and as he did SO he
felt the weight of the money belt
which he carried about his waist. In
a moment all his English caution and
mistrust returned.
ut may be all right" he muttered,
''but a little search won't hurt any
thing"
The only possible place of conceal
ment was under the bed. Revolver
in hand he dropped on his knees and
peered into the darkness. Nothing.
Slowly he raised himself until his eyes

and guitar are playing something
which evidently passes for music. The
air is close and foul with the exertions
and breath of the motley crowd that
fills the benches and floor. And this is
the "ball room" attached to the Legal
Tender saloon at Phoenix, N. M.
In the doorway stands a tall, fair-
haired young fellow, well tanned yet
seeming light skinned among the Mex
leans and COW punchers by whom he is
surrounded He lounges in the door
way watching the dancers with an ex-
preston partly of languid interest. A
year ago the man would have laughed
in your face had you told him that he,
Harry Woodhall, leader of cotillions
and of the distinctly eligible young
fellows of London, would in a years
time be taking passive part In the
festivities Of New Mexican dance
hall.
1t had all come so suddenly that it
had seemed like some weird nightmare
from which he woke to find himself
fighting for health in the arid region
of the new world. The recollection Of
10y the bar of the Legal Tender. First,
that bad cold canght at the Well
broolzes' ball, when he had taken Lady
Grace to her carriage in pouring rain
without so much as cap to cover his
head. Then the long siege of pneu-
monia and after that, like thunder
bolt out of a clear sky, had come the
warning of his physician: Its Egypt
or western America, old man, if you
don't want to shuttle off the coil You
can't stay in England and live"
Then had come the partings, the
voyage, the few aimless weeks in Den
yer, and then letter from Bob Nc
Queen asking him to come down and
help raise pigs and alfalfa in the Pecos
valley. He had found jolly, con-
genial lot of young Englishmen there,
and after some months of ranch life he
had just decided to put some money
into the ranch and settle down. There
is saying that Englishmen come west
on account Of one of three things:
"Busted health, wealth or reputation"
None of this crowd, at least, was in the
Pecos valley on account of the last
cause, and the two former were GER
tainly no disgrace. ....--
This resolution to settle down had
not been an easy one to make. A man
may fatter himself that he has torn up
every root that binds him to the old
life, but when the time comes to put
aside the last hope of return he will
find that there is one root still draw
ing life from that hope, and then, per-
haps, comes the hardest wrench Of all.
At any rate, Woodhall had that very
day ridden into Eddy with Mcqueen,
and had drawn from the bank the
money which was to buy his share Of
the ranch outfit. On their way back
they had stopped at Phoenix, collec-
ton of saloons, dance houses and Mex
lean huts just outside the limits of the
town. Their Mexican foreman, Con
gorez, had met them there with the
ranch wagon, relieved their horses Of
the supplies and gone on ahead Of
them.
Although Woddhall had been in the
valley seven months, he had never be-
fore seen Phoenix in full blast. This
interesting condition occurred every
Saturday night and lasted until Mon
day morning. The roulette wheel and

THE FARMING WORL D.
MUSHROOM CULTURE.

An Industry Which Is Attractive 10 We'll
a. Profitable.
It is a mystery why mushrooms are
not more widely appreciated in this
country as an article of food, for II is a
well-Anown fact that the economic
value Of mushroom diet Is placed sec
sond to meat alone. We're the people
Of Russia and parts Of Germany to see
our woods and clearings during the au-
tumn rains, they would feast on the
rich food which in most places here
goes to waste. Indeed, II is the epi-
cures who appreciate this food and are
not slow to pay fancy prices for it in
the market.
During tn e season when mushrooms
can be gathered, people neglect the
butcher to g considerable extent.
Mushrooms, as has been stated by Prof.
Palmer in one Of his works, make the
same use Of the air we breathe as is
made by animals; when cooked they.
resemble no other form Of vegetable
food, and in decay their odor in some
cases cannot be distinguished from pu-
trid meat. Certain it is the parasol-
like growth used for food, and which
springs up in night, is not plant IN
any sense. It more nearly resembles
flower, bearing, as it does, the spores
that are analogous to seeds. The true
plant which feeds, grows and finally
prepares to flower, is the network Of
whitish threads which form what is
commonly known as the spawn" or,
botanically, the mycelium of the mush-
room.
It is to the garden, or indoor culture
of the common mushroom, agaricus
campestris, that we desire here to call
attention. There is an ease and nov
city about this business which should
make it attractive, not only to all
amateurs for home use, but to com
mercial gardeners near all large
towns. The profits are large, in COM
parison with the outlay of material
and labor necessary. Fifty to sixty
cents pound wholesale can be OBJ
tanned without the least difficulty.
It's necessary to success that they
be grown in very rich soil. the indis-
