RSS@@SY sandy beach bef0re Shanty l&aSsl Town he headed for the open level There was no waiting for con- mands. no attempt at order-only the sound of labored breathing, of frantic urging, of the plying of heel and fist.
 Crossing the bend the company was strung to long, bedrabbled line. It was slow going. Already the horses had stood hard usage-the detour with Matthew's the return and the severely trying swim. Fraser, given the lead, still kept It. dinging hoarse persuasion into Buckskin's fiattened ears.
 So far the troopers had kept silent through fear for the girls safety-fear that the hostages if aware of pursuit would wreak instant death. But now as their lieutenant advanced to the shack, the men behind, while trying their utmost to gain. sent forward yell upon yell to startle the Indians into dropping their captives and seeking cover.
 No whoops replied, but from the doorway, unheard. the voice of a man: "Oliver. Oliver. Here!'
 As the line swung up and by in a circle Fraser, weapon in hand, was down and pressing forward.
 He found Lounsbury seated on the sill. from which he rose unsteadily.
 "Lounsbury. Lounsbury"
 Quick. The coulee! They went
  that way. Give me lift"
 His hand was wet. Fraser caught him about the waist.
 "Oh, you're wounded"
 "Yes-glancing blow. But I tied 1t up"
 "Lounsbury! Wounded?" It was Oliver.
 Up the coulee, captain! Give me horse"
 The captain turned, shouting orders. The other tried to follow, Fraser sup porting him.
 Here, somebody, horse for Louns bury"
 A third man smounted-Jamieson He put rope in Fraser's hand.
 Take my horse" he said. '.I'n stay Ride like the devil, Lounsbury, and soak 'em one for me-"
 They helped the storekeeper mount The command had gone. He and Fra ser followed.
 Half the troopers were travelling the farther brink, half the near. The two caught up with the latter detachment. Progress was slow. The men were tired from the fire fighting. The horses were all but blown.
 Nevertheless not d moments halt was taken until, after six wearisome miles. the troopers came opposite the cottonwoods where the Indian dead were lashed.
 By now the darkness had lifted con siderably, and a scout. who was riding the southern side, advised hunt for tracks.
 No tracks were found on the near brink. The horses moved forward again, Oliver and Fraser waiting be- hind to hear from the opposite side. All at once as they waited Fraser began peering down into the coulee. What's that?' he whispered. Whats that? Hark!'
 "What?"
 Just then came a shout, No tracks. captain
 Oliver kicked his boots into Eis horses side. Come on, come On." he said and went hurrying after his men. But. captain Fraser was holding back. There was a cry. I heard'- Come on, Fraser" Oliver's horse broke into trot.

 A third time Oliver called sharply. Behind he heard the cayuse following.
 Farther along. however. he turned to address his lieutenant and saw that Buckskin carried no rider.

SAVED MUCH TIME.
Drying an Electric Plant After Big
Flood.

The power house of large Eastern
manufacturing concern was recently
flooded with water to a height suffi-
cient to cover the two turbo-generat-
ors. two-thirds of the switchboard
and large part of the auxiliary ap-
paratus, including the EXETER units
and the condenser pump motors. S.

tion with the least possible delay, tell
how they did so, in the Electric Jour
nal
Upon arriving at the power house
it was found that the employees of the
local company were attempting to dry
out the generators by the use of a
steam coil enclosed in an air flue A
blower was connected at one end of
the tlue and the other end opened at
the generators so that hot air could
be blown through the generator wind
inss. This method would have taken
an indefinite time to dry out the gene
ratOrs. 1t was therefore abandoned
and an enclosure of sheet iron and tin,
that was found around the works. was
built up around the generators. Inside
Of this enclosure were placed a num-
her of charcoal furnaces made of pow
der kegs. Thermometers were sus-
pended near the generators and the
temperature inside the enclosure was
maintained at 50 degrees c.
While the generators were being
dried by this process a small hosting
engine was belted to q 20-hp. motor

We're also made with the local railway
company to furnish 500-yolt direct
current for making tests of insulation
resistance. Insulation tests were made
with a 600-volt direct-current meter
having an internal resistance of So, 900
ohms
After the generator had been drying
for 36 hours the insulation resistance
was about half the normal value. The
generator was then started on short.
circuit heat run, and at the expiration
of 80 hours, making &C hours in all,
the readings showed that the insula.
tion was thoroughly dry and the gen.
orator was ready to go into service.
The second generator was dried in
the same manner, with the same re.
suits. The motors, eXciters and switch.

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known In the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals.
stamens, etc, are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it is an acquired one,
and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible, 1t is doubtful if
1t would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could ad-
vantageously take suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized In Europe it is a regular
article of trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from it the. mixture
of tanic acid, sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" If, as in the
orient. this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from
