road. the evening quickly passed.
They had no opportunity for CONVEX
sation. for the trail was too narrow
to permit of their riding side by side.
Bud was thinking not only OF the dan
gers that surrounded them, but OF this
errand on which he was engaged, and
what the end OF It meant to him.
First the slanting rays of the sun
struck fire from the high yellow crags,
then the fire faded and the sky glowed
an opal-blue; then, through dark blues
and puppies the heavens turned to
black above them and all the stars
came out. Thousands OF frogs made
the canyon resound with their throaty
songs and strange animals crashed
through the brush at their approach,
but still Hooker stayed in the saddle
and Gracia followed on behind.

CHAPTER XIV.

Though the times had turned to war.
all nature that morning was at peace,
and they rode through valley of fiow-
ers like knight and lady in a pageant.
The rich grass rose kneedeep along
the hillsides. the desert trees were
filigreed with the tenderest green and
twined with morning-glories. and in
open glades the peoples and sand
yerbenas spread forth masses OF blue
and gold.
Already on the mesquit-trees the
mocking-birds were singing, and bright
flashes OF tropical color showed where
cardinal and yellow-throat passed. The
dew was still untouched upon the
grass. and yet they hurried on. for

Well let our horses feed until the
moon comes up and I'll try to work

"Oh-are we lost?" gasped Gracia,
dropping stiffly to the ground But OF
course we are" she added. I've been
thinking so for some time"
"oh. that's all right" observed
Hooker philosophically; 81 don't mind
being lost as long as l know where
Pm at. Well ride back until we get
out of this dark canyon and then I'll
lay line due north"
They sat for a time in the dark
ness while their horses champed at
the rich grass and then, unable to keep
down her nerves. Gracla declared for a
start A vision Of angry pursuers rose
up in her mind-of Manuel del Rey
and his keen-eyed rurales, hot upon
their trail-and It would not let her
rest.
Nor was the vision entirely the re-
suit CT nervous imagination, for they
had lost half the advantage OF their
start, as Hooker well knew, and If he
made one more false move he would
| find himself called on to fight. AS
they rode back through the black
canyon he asked himself for the hun,
dredth time how 1t had all happened
why, at a single glance from her
he had gone against his better judg
ment and plunged himself into this
tangle. And then, finally, what was
he going TO do about it?
But he knew what he was going to
do about it. He knew he was going
to take this girl through to Gadsden
and to Phil, and his loyalty was such
that be would not admit. even to him
self, that Phil did not deserve her.
Alone, he would have taken to the
mountains with a fine disregard for
trails, turning into whichever served
his purpose best and following the
lay of the land. Even with her In hi,

Beyond that lay comparative safety,
but no man knew what dangers lurked
between them and that cleft in the

II he we're alone, and odds that would

To the west and north rose the high
and impossible mountain which had
barred their way in the night; across
the valley the fiat-topped FORTUNES
threw their bulwark against the dawn:
and all behind was broken hills and
gulches, any one OF which might give
up armed men. Far ahead, like q
knife-gash between the ridges. lay the
pass to the northern plains. and as
their trail swung out into the open
they put spurs to their horses and
galloped.
Once through that gap, the upper
country would lie before them and

ahead Gracia cast anxious glauces be-

eastern mountain. whence from time
to time came muffled rife-shots, and
turned his horse to go. There was
trouble over there to the east some
where-Alvarez and his Yaquis, still

Perpetual Motion Is Approached

Henry Ford Has New Scheme

TT ENRY FORD has startled the en-
II cheering world in a manner
= u quite revolutionary from a
scientific and mechanical standpoint
He is preparing to spend a million
dollars on what viii come as close to
a perpetual motion machine as the
theoretical progress Of modern science
permits. The perpetual motion inven-
tor has been a standing joke for gen
eratons-but here comes Ford with a
practical application Of at least part
Of the will-O-the-Wisp of mechanics,
and what is more he has placed a
million dollars worth of contracts to
embody his dream in the brick and
stone and iron and steel of a gas en-
be absolutely unique.
The power, to be turned into cleo
tricity and thus distributed through
q great automobile factory cover
ing many acres, viii be produced by
-FOUR big 5000 horsepower engines
which may be best described as a hy-
bird of gas and steam Some engi-
neers when they first heard of the plan
called it a mechanical nightmare"
Each engine viii have four cylinders
in tandem on each side, one pair of
cylinders being operated by producer
gas and the other by steam. The
steam viii be generated from water
heated in the water jacket of the gas
engine, further heated by exhaust
gases and by waste heat from the pro-
Queer gas plant The water or steam
viii be used as the feed water for the
boiler which supplies the steam en-
CINE cylinders.
This description may sound a little
technical, but it will be exactly the
same in effect as if one took hot
water from the radiator of a gaso-
line motor car, further heated II
around the exhaust pipe and with this
water or steam operated a steam en-
CINE to help out the gas engine cyl
inders in driving the automobile. This
process carried to the limit would be
practically a perpetual motion ma
chine inasmuch as all energy wasted
IN heat and friction would be utilized
again and again.
Any school boy who has struggled
with physics viii have vague memoir
ies of the law of conservation Of en-

paratus is to round up as much as pos
sible Of the energy wasted by the or
