from the wallet some letters, the last

He dropped the letters into the

name, Gerald Pierce.

a little packet. 1t was contained IN

and he had seen new light under
the soulful influence of Beulah.
Honest toll, decent companions, am
bition to excel had come to him.
Then one evil day, at a farmers gath
ering, he had been tempted back to
the ruby cup. There had been a great
broil and arrest. When he awoke
in a prison cell he realized how false
he had been to his sacred pledge to
Beulah, never to touch strong drink
again.
He had written her a tear-blurred
note releasing her from all future in
terest in his unworthy self. Heart
broken, spiritless, he had dashed into
the wilderness. To the farthest edge
of civilization he had penetrated. He
had changed his name. Morose, un-
social, he chummed with nobody, and
kept away from drink because it had
parted him from Beulah.
One day his fine face and athletic
frame had struck the eye of an officer
in the mounted police. The official
made overtures to him, and the IN
who sought only to bury himself far
from the madding crowd, accepted the
post at which his true courage would
never falter CT quail.

So ne had entombed his past and
his identity. He returned from that
solemn, scoreful ceremony to resume
his duties, a dangerous man to trifie
with.
The discipline of the post embraced
a daily tour OF a district % miles
wide. There was one lonely trail to
guard. 1t was the next morning that
he espied a figure toiling up the
rugged mountain path. AS it neared
him he made out wiry, ferret-faced
half-breed.
What is it?" he challenged as the
man halted ten feet away from the
cabin, and his carbine ready, he ad-
vanced upon the visitor, felt over his
clothing, found no weapons, and mo-
toned him towards the cabin with the
grudging words:

"Then l tell you something. 1t is Red
Roger"
"Ha! what of him." demanded Ger

name was that of fugitive desperate
long sought for and or whose capture
a great reward was offered

yes, half the reward" agreed Ger
aid readily
I'VE go on foot. He is sick, but
you know him bad man. Give me
a pistol, too. Then, if we fight, I
help"
Gerald let his visitor eat his fill.
Then he went to his chest and Sc
lected an extra revolver. A sudden
thought, a suspicion, repugnance to-
wards the treacherous class the half
breed represented, caused him to re-
fleet. Finally, however, he handed the
weapon to his visitor The eyes Of
the latter glowed as he placed it III
side his coat
1t was after an hour of rough pilot
ing that the half-breed neared an old
shack, moved open its door and re-
vealed man lying on heap of skins.
He gave Gerald push. Then came
a rapid, startling sensation. The half
breed had flung the revolver Gerald
had given him directly into the lap
of the recumbent man. Quick as a
flash the outlaw, for at once Gerald
recognized hir,, 4eveled the revolver
at his head.

aid obeyed. You know me. 1t is to
see me crippled, dying, that you of
the cursed mounted police have found

I may wipe out my hatred Of those
who have hunted me to this, with one

"Snap!"

that" pronounced Gerald calmly, pro-
ducing his weapon, and then with a
yell the half-breed dashed for the
door and away as he saw his scheme
upset
Within ten minutes the frantic, curs-
ing outlaw was handcuffed and bodily
carried by Gerald, to the station.
Within an hour, propped across the
saddle, he was being borne toward
Moreton.
There came to Gerald temptation
on that long, tiresome journey over the
hills. The outlaw had bottle OF
liquor in his pocket. To revive him,
Gerald was forced to give him more
than one draught. The smell of the
liquor at times set his brain on fire,
but he defied the direful temptation
and reached Moreton.

Mexleo,s Salt PRODUCING Lake.

Though Mexico offers many wonders
for the inspection of the traveller none
is more interesting or peculiar than
the salt-producing lakes near Salinas
station, on the Tampico division of the
Mexican Central railway, ~ miles west
of San Luis Potosi. 1t may we'll be
termed two-story lake, for at times
there is lake of fresh water> over
lying the salt lake. A watertight
roof of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water. For large
part of the year there is no fresh
water lake there. The sun licks 1t up
soon after the rainy season is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about sixty.five years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes its
living from the salt. The property
is owned by family or estate. but
1t is said that not one of the owners
has lived there for years.
