She found him insensible lying with an arm
bent under him in pose frghtfully suggestive Of
disocaton. Yet when she turned him on his back
and released the arm, he made no sign to indicate
that the movement had caused him the slightest
pain
There was a slight cut upon his brow. bruise
about his left temple. She tore linen from her
bosom, beneath her coarse flannel shirt and with
sparing aid from the canteen, washed the cut clean
and bandaged it.
Then, seeing that the storm held with fury un-
gbated, she rose. reconnOitered and returned to
exert all her strength and drag the unconscious
across the dry bed OF that ancient water
course and under the lee of it's farther bank,
There sitting. she pillowed his head upon her
lap, and bending over him made her body an addi-
tional shelter to him from the swirling clouds Of
dust.
And for hours on end Judith nursed him there
scarce daring to save to minister to his
needs bathing his fevered brow and moistening his
parched lips and throat
In the course of the first hour she was once
startled by the spectral vision through the driving
sheets of dust OF a horse that plodded up the
arroyo bearing two riders on its back.
Weary with the weight OF its double burden It
went slowly and passed to Judith that she
was able to recognize the features Of her sister
and Tom Barcus.
Be sure she made never a sign to catch their
attention.
Within the next succeeding hour the coppery
light lost something of its hot briliance took on
a darker shade. and then one darker still Twi-
light stole athwart the desert turning its heat
chill, its light to violet
Growing more intense, the cold eventually reused

And hardly had his eyes Enclosed and looked up
into the eyes of Judith bending over him than he

upon his feet and after a moment at pause, watch

their breath and survey the desert for signs of

might accomplish through their own exertions. For
leagues in any quarter it stretched without break
other than the black cleft Of the arroyo, cleaning
a bleached and deathly white in the moonshine-
like the face of frozen world
With tacit consent both turned that way Alan

a word or sign between them to prove that either

those who followed the ridge trail. BY mid-morn-
ing when they approached the foothills that ran
down to the desert the pursuit was more than
mile in the rear and shut off to boot by mono
lithic hill, while Alan was many weary mile in
advance.
He sat upon his horse, just then, at standstill
upon the summit of a rounded knoll the Painted
hills lifting up behind him, the desert before un-
folding like map.
Descending the knoll he reined his tagging mount
back into the trail, following its winding course
through the foothills and round the base OF that
monothic mountain toward the junction with the
ridge trail, miles away
Il approached the hour OF noon before he gained
the point where the two trails Joined and struck
out across the desert. And here he discovered
what he thought indsputable indications that the
fright of Judiths horse had persisted.
Abandoning Immediately all notion of returning
through the hills by the rldgetrai, he turned and
swung away at the best pace he could spur from
his broncho delivering himself into the pitiless en-
brace Of that implacable wilderness of sun and
sand
At long intervals he would check the broncho
and, reeling in the saddle endeavor to sweep the
desert with his binoculars
And toward the middle of the afternoon he fan
ced that something rewarded such effort;
something for an instant swan athwart the field Of
the gasses something that seemed to move like a
weary horse with human figure bound to its

walked weaving a winding trail across and across
the straighter line OF footprints that marked Alans
course through the ordered pattern OF the pow

And OF a sudden she collapsed.
Instinct alone made Alan glance overshoulder:
for she had made no sound whatever

the waterhoe, which he had missed on the way Of

waste hot a furnace blast. In a trice dust en-
veloped and horse sitting cloud of super
heated particles that stung the flesh like a myriad
needles And then darkness fell, the twilight of
hades, a coppercolored pail. Nothing remained
visible beyond arms length.
Blinded, half suffocated unspeakably dismayed

Pursuit was out of the question: indeed, the bri-

sight OF the broncho.
For moment he stood rooted in CONSERVATION
as in a bog-with an arm upthrown across his face.
Then the thought OF Judith recurred.
Head bended and shoulders rounded, he began
to forge a way into the teeth of the sandstorm.
How long he fought on pitting his strength
against the elements, cannot be reckoned
In the end he stumbled blindly down a slight
decline and was abruptly conscious that he had in
some way found shelter from the full force OF the
wind.
He staggered on another yard OF two. breathing
more freely, and blundered into rough-ribbed wall
of rock-some sporadic outcrop, he understood
whose bulk stood between him and the storm.
He thought to rest for a time, until the storm had
spent its greatest strength; but as he laid his
shoulder gratefully against the rock and scrubbed
the dust from his smarting eyes he saw what he at
first conceived to be an halucination Judith Trine

He stared incredulously, saw her recognize him,

He threw on her hand with bitter laugh-that
was like the croaking OF a raven as it issued from

woman and the shelter OF the rock and delivered
himself anew to the mercy of the dust-storm.

Where Prohibition Works..
From Golfers

From COlller'S.
Having spent Il year in the %prohibi-
ton state of Maine, 1 was skeptical as
to the feasibility of IL practical pro!libi-
ton. Prohibition in Maine, when L was
there, was simply a ~joke-and a bad
joke at that, for it involved bad liquor.
Every man in the state who wanted
drink knew where to get it, so long as
whisky or about the quality of spar
varnish. Never have / seen more
drunkenness than in that state. The
slight added difficulty of getting drink
only made men want it more, and it
seemed to me that, when they got it,
they drank more at q sitting than the
would have had liquor been more gem
orally accessible.
In Kansas it is different. There the
law is enforced. Blind pigs hardly ex-
list, and bootleggers are rare birds who,
If they persist in bootlegging. are rap
York Tribune" printed, recently. a
letter stating that prohibition is a sig
nal failure in Kansas, that there is

and that 'under the seats of all the
automobiles in Kansas there is a good

drinking in Kansas than ever before.
I cannot say. / do know, however,
both from personal observation and
from reliable testimony. that there is
practically no drinking in the portions
of the state 1 visited. AS I am not a
prohibitionist. this statement is non
partisan. But 1 ma add that. after
having seen the results of prohibition
in Kansas, I look upon it with more
favor. Indeed. I am a partial convert:
that is. I believe in it for you. And
whatever are your views on prohibit

a pretty temperate state in which a
girl can grow to womanhood and say
what one Kansas girl said to me: That

CLOTHES TO P REvENT COLDS.

Copyright, 1914. by the Gu News
paper Syndicate.)
The right sort of clothes has much
to do with health-to that every one
agrees. Here are some suggestions for
bedroom clothes that will do much TO
keep the various members of a family
free from colds:
In the first place, there are comfort
able and warm bedroom slippers. These
Should be of the sort that slip on easily,
so thai no n can make the excuse
that 1T is too difficult to adjust the slip

top or a silk pompon for decoration.
are durable and easily adjusted and II
Very good choice. These should be left
at the bedside every night and the feet
should be tucked into them instead of
on the floor.
There should be a loose and warm
dressing Suvn or bathrobe. Nothing is
better than a blanket wrapper or AN
eiderdoWn robe. If these robes are
made in colors liked by their owners.

blooded, and in order to keep warm,
piles on SO many blankets that they
are uncomfortable heavy, try providing
wash cotton and wool sheets for that
person. Linen or cotton sheets are
sometimes decidedly chilling, and no
amount of blankets piled on top of
them will produce warmth.
There should be loose eiderdown or
anton flannel bed shoes for those who
are cold blooded. These are made much
after the name of Il stocking, except
ing that they just reach above the
ankles and are worn after one gets in
bed.
A loose flannel nightgown is another
boon to the cold blooded. If the feeling
of the flannel next to the skin is dis
agreeable a white canton flannel gown
can be worn over the muslin gown for
added warmth. 1T can be made several
inches longer than the other gown, as
it can be put on after one is in bed,
and the long portion will help to keep
the feet warm.
Then. if one is subject to colds in the
head. there should be Il wooden cap to
fasten on, covering the ears and fore
head.
Dressed in these warm projections,
one can sleep safely in a room filled
With health-giVing air. no matter how
cold it may be. and Yet one need suffer

The reason is that a duty seems to be a
call to working out ones largest pur-

A mere inclination represents a merely in

to the individual and what belongs to his
neighbor is a sort of twilight zone. Our
interests, our whole lives involve those
