der plainsman, is looking for roaming war
parties Of saVages. He sees wagon team
at full gallop pursued by men on ponies
When Keith reaches the wagon the raid
ers have massacred two men and de-
parted. He searches the victims finding
papers and a locket with a Woman's por-
trait. Keith is arrested at Carson CITY
charged with the murder. his accuser be-
ing a ruffian named Black Bart. A negro
companion in his cell named Neb tells him
that he knew the Keiths in Virginia. Neb
says one of the murdered men was John
Slbley. the other Gen: Willis Waite: form
erly Confederate officer. The plalnsman
and eNeb escape, and later the fugltives
come upon a cabin and find it's occupant
to be a young girl. whom Keith thinks
he saw at Carson City The girl explains
that she is in search Of brother, who
had deserted from the army. and that
Mr.. Hawley indSt ed her to come to the
cabin while he sought her brother. Haw-
ley appears. and Keith in hiding recog-
Eizes him as Black Bart. There is ter

Keith is victor. Horses are appropriated.

and goes there, where she is mistaken for
Christie Macaire the Carson City singer.
Keith meets the real Christie Maclairee
and finds that Black Bart has CONVINCED
her that there is a mystery IN her life
which he is going to turn to her advan--
tage. The plainsman tells Hope Waite of
her resemblance to Christie Maclaire.
They decide that Fred Willoughby may
hold the key to the situation. Keith finds
Willoughby shot dead. Hope is told of
the death of her brother. Keith fails to
learn what representations Black Bart
has made to Christie Maclaire. Hope
suggests that in order to learn the secret
she must briefly impersonate the stage
singer. Dr. Fairbain is in love with
Christie Maclaire and Keith induces him
TO detain her from the stage while Hope
goes to the theater where she meets
Black Bart, who, thus deceived, tells
Hope that General Waite has suspected
his plans and that they must fly. Hope,
greatly alarmed, demurs. General Waite
appears and says Black Bart has stolen
papers from him regarding an inheri-
tance. Keith is informed that Christie
Maclaire's real name is Phyllis Gale and
that she is the half sister of Hope. The
latter has beer carried away by Black
Bart and his gang.

He kissed her, not in passion, but
in simple tenderness, and as he turned
away she sank upon her knees at the
window, with head bowed upon the
sill. At the door he paused and
looked back, and she turned and
smiled at him Then he went out,
and she knelt there silently, gazing
forth into the dawn, her eyes blurred
with tears-facing new day, and a
new life.

Raising Lions in Dublin.

The unique enterprise of raising
lions for the trade is one practiced by
the Geological Garden in Dublin,
where several hundred lions have
been raised since the first expert
ments we're made. more than thirty
years ago. Curiously enough. the race
to which these lions belong has dis
appeared from it's original home In
Natal, South Africa, while it has been
perpetuated under artificial conditions
in the Irish capital city. A few years
ago the Geological Society Of Ireland
extended it's business of lion raising.
and added male lions from Nubia to
it's stock, hitherto exclusively Of Natal
blood The institution is now en-
gagged in an attempt to interbreed the
two varieties.

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING In
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made of num-
Der of men farming in a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense of harvesting the crop, which
Aas been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than So cents a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over Ii
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost Of production and freight 68
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
Of 171a cents and for his high-grade
wheat of 1914 cents; and though this
is not as large profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, it is profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses of
the year have been paid, unless the
value of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below it's present level. A mat
ter of Importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost of produc-
ton. The following table has been
prepared after careful investigation:
