Dawson and Fuller stood silently watching her.
AS she reached them she thrust her playfully
through Dawson's.

She turned him, and they started off, Then for
the first time she looked at Fuller Lazily she
raised her eyes to his and then-she cut him dead.
He stood like statue watching the two they
walked down the road till they turned a bend and
were lost to sight Then he threw his revolver to
the ground with and staggering to his horse,
leaped on it and rode madly off.
Instantly the crowd dropped from trees and
nearby roofs and made their way to the bar of
the Palace hotel. Judge Onderdonk expressed their
unanimous sentiments.

"Jack!" The lazy, drawing voice with its odd
silver fullness drfted out caressingy the red
wood trees. Fuller toilfully climbing the mountain
toward his claim, stopped short and looked about
him. No in sight. With impatient
gesture, he started to ascend once more
That was the third time he had imagined he heard
her call, and he decided that if he did not go to
doctor or get drunk without delay there would be
something seriously wrong with him. Three times he
had heard her CALL and each time He started up
the grade with redoubled speed: The first time
had been when they met again after the episode in
Grub Gulch He had come upon her suddenly lying
full length under the trees, her head pillowed in her
hands Her pure beauty, so fresh and charming
burst upon him so suddenly that he stopped and
drew in his breath sharply: And while he stood she
turned her head and looked at him with lazy
curiosity in which there was distinct shade of
coquetry. Something in her look had sent the hot
blood rushing to his face, and it all he could do
to turn on his heel and walk away from her without
a word After his back turned he fanced that
she had called his name, but when he looked back
she was lying he had first her, gazing above
and apparently utterly unconscious of his presence.

BY ten o'clock the street of the town was
crowded with men who had come in to see the
shooting. Places that gave a good view of the
street We're eagerly sought, and one two store

At ten-thirty it was common gossip that Fuller
was riding into town. that he aware of the facts

At twelve precisely Dawson emerged from the front
door of the Palace hotel. Oddly enough Fuller
came out of the saloon. Instantly there rush

Fuller saw Dawson first, and started unsteadly
toward him. The liquor had taken a strong hold
on him, and he staggered and swaved as he came
through the hot dust.
Presently Dawson saw him and waited silently.
Near and nearer came Fuller, and still Dawson

simply:
"Howdy, Jack"
The action amazed Fuller as it did the crowd

Progress Milling Industry In Past
Few ears Has Been Rapid.

The history and development of
the grist mills and flour mills in
this country are so closely inter-
woven with the history of farming
that the two can be said to go hand

England was probably built on the
Dorchester side Of the Neponset, in
1894. Before the middt6sof TIE CEN
fury New England was doing an ex-
tensive business, sending wheat and
flour to Portugal, In 1919. Virginia
had four wind mills, five water mills
and numerous horse mills and was
also an exporter of wheat and
flour. BY 1873 New York had con-
siderable number of mills and was
granted a monopoly on the process
of boiling flour. This charter was
repealed. however, in 1894.
For nearly hundred years fol-
lowing the development of milling
was but the reflection of the growth
OF the country. with some extension
of trade In the West Indies and
South America. Still the process OF
milling was crude, and the Industry
with perhaps few exceptions, had
hardly gone beyond the experiment
tai basis. Not until the mills began
to centralize, until milling centers''
began to form, did the industry
commence to shape itself on COM
mercial basis. This period began
shortly after the revolution. Yet
milling then, as compared with to-
day, was like the stage coach COM
pared with the pullman trains OF
the modern railroads. Even the mills
of Delaware, on the Brandywine,
were celebrated for their flour, This
district had lac mills within ra-
dias OF 40 miles, and Wilmington
was an exporter OF superfine
flour.
The next milling center. of i'm
portance, which later became first,
was Baltimore In 1887 the mills OF

The extent of the flour and grist
mill products of the United States
can be accurately judged from the
| last figures of national census taken
in 1905. The number of establish
ments given at that time was 10,051,
not including neighborhood mills,
and the annual value of the pro-
ducts was s713,033,395. The total
horsepower required was 7SO,042;
of which 2v,30S horse power was
electric. requiring the use of 621
electric motors
Flour and grist mill work is com
paratively a new field for electricity.
This class of work requires clean
power and for this reason the flour
industry has always conferred about
the water powers. But water does
not begin to be as clean as electrici-
ty, where no Tapping belts or long
lines of shafting are required, and
for this reason the modern mills of
today are installing electric motors
to do the work, direct connecting
them to the individual machines.
Formerly flour was bleached by
'ageing" it-allowing 1t to stand
exposed to the air. Now the flour is
bleached in no time at all by a sim
pie electrical contrivance. In this
machine electrical discharges pro-
duce ozone from the atmosphere.
This ozone is blown through the
falling flour, performing the same
service as though the flour was ex-
!poseedo :, to ....4 the air for length Of
time.
