the tract was at the worst. Where
there WAS no snow there were &C. hisk-
ers;" oil itself couldn t have been
worse to stop on. 1t was the old and
deadly peri of fighting blockades from
both ends on a single track. The great
rams Of steel aud fire had done their
work, and with their common enemy
overcome, they dashed at each other
like madmen across the Black wood
gorge.
The tremen at the first cry shot out
the side. Sankey yelled at Sinclair to
Jump. But George shook his head; he
never would jump Without hesitatiDg
Sanhey picked him from the levers 10
his arms, planted n sure foot, and
hurled him like q coal shovel through
the gangway far out into the gorge.
The other cabs were already empty

could Jump the rotary crashed into the

pitched sideways and fell headlonp into

badly strained. Number One pulled
over it next day.
Sankey was right; there was no
more snow; not even enough to cover
the dead engines that lay on the rocks.

There never was a funeral in Nc

and Neeta followed first, and of the
mourners there were as many as there
we're spectators. Every engine on the
division carried black for thirty days.
Sankey's contrivance for fighting
snow has never yet been beaten on the
high line. It is perilous to go against
a drift behind it; something has to
give. But it gets there, as Sankey got

Tho Scarlet Rider b! Bortha RunkIc. The Con-
tury Co. Publishers. New York.
The author Of this romance Ieaped into
sudden fame by her popular story The
Helmet Of Navarro" This present story
is also a tale OF young blood and high
spirits. Of adventure and romance, with
vigorous life and color. The scene is
laid in the England OF highway times.
when the highwayman was a romantic
character and though pursued by the
officers OF the law, was often befriended
by the common people. upon whom he
conferred many appreciated benefits. He
robbed the rich and helped the poor. The
highwayman OF the present volume was
q peer Of the realm by birth and high
wayman by choice. allurlng In his wicked
ness, but elusive In his personality. He
was here. there. and everywhere at will.
and MS nobility was to him a Shield
vastly serviceable. There is gay:
laughing, wlnsome girl, the heroine OF
the story. who precipitates the final trag-
edy, but gains her lover. which IS the
main thing with a heroine. The mas
querading a Yarra combe. with one as
pirant for her hand disguised as foot
man, the noble hghwayman within the
walls. and the Kings troopers hard on
the heels OF both. make an exciting mas
querade indeed. The story is full OF ac-
tvity and is we'll told.

A few hours on Bird island suffices
to satisfy the intruder. The scream

intolerable after while. One has to

Once a man went to Hat island to
gather refuse, which abounds there In
great quantities. The boat that car
ried him over left him lumber with
which to build house and small

two days building his hut. The third
day he found himself screaming at the
birds and the fourth day he jumped
into his boat and rowed all the way
back to Saltair. When he arrived at
the resort he was talking to himself,

can spin yarn. tho truth of which he
vouches for himself, about the island,
and the lake and the strange things that
have happened there. II is matter of
history, for instance, that a peach or
chard was in bloom on Antelope island
when the pioneers entered the valley,
Old "Dad" Spuggs, who had tired OF
trapping, had raised the orchard along
with some other garden truck, and was
making living by trading the products
to the Indians. After the pioneers came
Spuges remarked that the country was
getting altogether too crowded for him
and moved away He was killed several

Taking their cue from ffDad - Spuggs
the pioneers soon learned that the island
made good grazing ground for their cat

when the water was lower. and so the
ranch was established and is there yet,

SAND FOR CONCRETE

In using concrete on the farm, the
choice Of the sand is the most import
ant part Of the preliminary work. A
coarse, clean, h~ard-grained sand is
best. The thing to be sought for
always in concrete work is density, or
compactness. The densest concrete
is the best concrete. The sand grains
which will make the densest concrete
is n which will include all sized
sand grains with a large proportion of
the coarse ones. OF all the South Da-
kota sands analysed and tested by the
experimental laboratory of the South
Dakota State College, not one has been
found which was not improved and the
resulting concrete made stronger by
the screening out of some of the finer
PARTICLES.
