but came back empty. Not another
sound reached him; his own horse
went steadily on, feeling his way, I'M
til he was nose against the bank, with
water merely ripping about his ankles.
Keith driving feet again into the stir
rups headed him down stream, wading
close in toward the shore, leaning for
ward over the pommel striving to see
through the gloom.
He had no doubt about Neb's pony
making land, unless struck by some
driftwood, or borne to the center OF
the stream by the shifting force of the
current. But If Neb had failed to re-
tain his grip he might have been
sucked under by the surge of waters.
A hundred yards below he found them,
dripping and weak from the struggle,
yet otherwise unhurt. There were no
words spoken, but the black and white
hands clasped silently, and then Neb
crept back into the saddle, shiver1ng
in his wet clothes as the cool night
wind swept against him. Keeping
close in toward shore, yet far enough
out so that the water would hide their
trail, the fugitiyes toiled steadily up
stream, guided only by the black out
line of the low bank upon their left.

the English group of islands which
bear the same name. She is a mix
ture of the large, red Normandy and
the little, black Brittany breeds which
were brought from the neighboring
coast of France, the characteristics OF
both types being combined in her.
The Normandy types predominated,
however, in the crossing, but she is
the result of that cross, the Normandy
features today being most conspicu-
Gus. The breed has been kept pure
for the reason that for something like
100 years no other breeds were al
lowed on the island.
But outside of this embargo, the is
landers had little to do with the de-
velopment of the fine breed of cattle
which we know today as the Guern-
sey. While guarding the purity of
the breed the islanders paid little at
tention to their cattle, gardening and
particularly Horticulture, being the
principal industry. The cattle. there
fore, while not bred to the dictates of
any set rule or fashion, developed by
themselves into the hardy, sturdy
breed which we know today, but which
is often referred to as "the old-time
yellow and white cow"

TICKS LESSEN MILK YIELD
BIood-Suckinq Parasites Constitute
Enormous Drain on Animals They
Infest-Loss Per Annum.

A cattle tick that has reached the
engorged stage weighs about five
grains, and about $500 such ticks
weigh a pound. AS cattle in the tick
region often carry many thousands of
these blood-sucking parasites, and as
each tick during the period of it's at
tachment to an animal draws consider
ably more than it's own weight in
blood, it can be seen that these ticks
constitute an enormous drain on the
cattle which they infest.
This accounts for the fact that
under such conditions it Is impossible
to fatten cattle even on rich pasture
and with an abundance of good feed,
says a government bulletin. A large
part of the nourishment that should go
toward producing beef and milk is
consumed by the ticks. In addition
to the loss of blood and nourishment
there is the never-ceasing irritation
caused by the ticks so that the exist
ence of the infested cattle is beset
with continuous suffering, and this of
course also tends to keep them in
poor condition.
The shrinkage in the milk produc-
ton of a cow harboring many ticks
will average one quart day, and the
loss occasioned thereby at three cents
a quart for the $4,000 ticky dairy cat
tie, out of more than 100000 below
the quarantine line, would amount to
s26,250 a day. Counting 300 milking
lays for each cow in the year, would
make the loss from this cause $685.

Keith had ridden that hundred and
fifty miles of sandy desolation before,
but had never been called upon to
make such journey as this proved to
be. He knew there was little to fear
from human enemies, for they were
riding far enough east of the Santa Fe
trail to be out of the path of raiding
parties, while this desert country was

blinded by the merciless flashing of the
all sense Of direction long since lost.
rolled YEARLY from the saddle, bur-
rowed under the partial shelter of a
sand dune, and called upon Neb to
follow him. With their hands and feet
they made a slight wind-break, drag
ging the struggling ponies into it's
protection, and burrowed themselves
over them so thick as to obscure the
sky, and rapidly burying them alto
gether as though in a grave. Within
an hour they were compelled to dig
themselves out, yet it proved partial
escape from the pitiless flashing. The
wind howled like Embossed demons,
and the air grew cold, adding to the
sting of the grit, when some sudden
eddy hurled it into their hiding place.
To endeavor further travel would
mean certain death, for no one could
have guided a course for hundred
feet through the tempest.
1t was three o'clock before it died
sufficiently down for them to venture
out Even then the air remained full
of sand, while constantly shifting
ridges made travel difficult. Only
grim necessity-the suffering of the
ponies for water, and their own need
for soon reaching the habitation of
man and acquiring food-drove them
to the early venture. They must at

night, or else perish in the desert

In Strict Obedience.

Master Gregory Graham, aged three,
had been having an ocean bath, and
breaking away from his older sister
he ran all dripping wet to the door of
the living room, where Mrs. Graham
was entertaining caller from the
fashionable hotel.
"Why, Greg" his mother greeted
him, you mustn't come in here like
that, dear. Go straight upstairs and
take off your bathing suit first"
A few minutes later Mrs. Graham
turned toward the door in curiosity
as to what sight there had sent her
visitors eyebrows up so high, and in
the same moment her sons cheerful
voice rang out:
81 looked it off, mother, like you
told me to. I'm coming in now for

sinking deep in drifting sand, the
struggling ponies becoming SO ex-
hausted that their riders finally dis
mounted, and staggered forward on
foot, leading them stumbling blindly
after. Once the Negroes horse
dropped, and had to be dashed to its
feet again; once Keith's pony STUN

down into the sand, and he would
have died there, lacking sufficient
strength to lift the dead weight, but

THREE PLATOON
POLICE SYSTEM
STARTS WELL
-Four Thousand Men Will Be
on Night Duty, 1000 on
Patro! During Day,

Police officials at Headquarters to-day
said that excellent reports had been
coming In Of the working OF the three
platoon system. About eight thousand
men were affected by the change when
at I o'clock this morning the new hours
vent into effect.
Deputy COMMISSIONS Dillon was at
Headquarters to settle any difficulty,
but none appeared. The inspectors and
captains were at their headquarters and
when the hour came around everything
went off smoothly.
The lev system divided the police
men into three platoons OF twelv.
squads. The first platoon is comprised
OF three divisions. the second of three
and the third of six. The men who
went out at I o'clock this morning re-
main on duty until 3 o'clock. Men Of
the other platoons are either on re-
serve or off for eight or sixteen hours.
In commenting on the new system
Deputy Commissioner Dillon figured
that about 4.0OO men were to be on duty
during the night. when they are most
needed. and that, roughly, 1000 will be
on patrol during the day. For the re-
serve force there will be about 1888
during the day and 666 men at night.
The men on night duty work from II
