Ryan recognized that the time for
action had come. On his side he had
the overwhelming brute force which
would enable him to do as he pleased.
Kelly had turned to look into the
closet when he was stopped by Clio
ra's outburst. What Ryan had said
had reminded her Of her own power

thugs! Must l tell you the truth to

as he advanced toward the place where
Wright lay hidden.

The two men looked at each other
in astonishment. and Little Ella sat

David Kerr. Now CO."
Something in her bearing made
them feel that she was telling the
truth. Kelly. timid now and apollo
getic, was the first to speak.
We'll. we didn't know you was
why didn't you say"
Il guess well go see Noonan." was
Ryan's method of beating a retreat.
He can't git away, anyway" Kelly
whispered to him.
Gloria breathed a sigh of relief as
they turned to 60, but in an instant
the shrill scream from Ella which
brought the men back to the center of
the room froze her blood.
The boss daughter!" 1t was a
witch's screech ending in peal OF un-
earthly laughter.
Gloria sank into 4 chair gasping.
what have ! said?"
She felt the curse upon her.
Come back, Turkey, come back"
shrilled Little Ella, laughing wildly.
The boss daughter! The boss
daughter!"
Her thin hands plucked at the cover
lid. and her blazing eyes were fixed
upon Gloria, who had shrunk into a
weak lump In her chair. Only few
moments had passed since all had
admitted that Little Ella dominated
the situation. That fact she recog
nixed as readily as did the others.
Now she determined to make use of
her power. Gloria herself had aroused
the savagery Of the woman by having
inflamed her against the boss, not
knowing that the creatures rage was
directed against her own father.
Feverishly stimulated to an unac-
customed mental acuteness by the
thoughts of her wrongs as Gloria mad
lain them bare, all the cruelty of the
woman's nature asserted itself. Re-
venge with her was sweetness long
drawn out. 1t was the dainty morsel
over which the gourmet fingers. 1t
was the tantalizing antics Of the cat
that gloats over the mouse beneath
its paw. and even let's it run little
way to arouse the wild hope that 1t
may yet escape. Having decided upon
the ultimate disclosure of Wright's
hiding place, Little Ella was now bent
most of all on making the daughter of
the boss suffer to the limit.
Whats the matter. Ella?" Ryan
asked.
Let them go. say. Please let

You want them to go. do you? Ha!

 Experts in the forest service who nave been Investigating the preservative treat ment of timber offer the suggestion that ties and poles which have been immersed for some time in the waters of the lake ought to be fmpervfous to decay if the salt is not leached out by the action of the elements. It has been suggested that this can be guarded against, for example, by painting the butt of the pole with q coat of cresote which will keep out the moisture and keep in the salt. ~

GREAT SALT LAKE
 PRESERVES TIMBER
Piles Sunk Under Water for Years Are Sound and
 Whole

In replacing d railroad trestle recently burned along the north shore of Great Salt Lake engineers have just found that the piles are still perfectly sound after 4s years of service says the Salt Lake Tribune. Looking for the cause, since these were only of local pine or fir, they found the timbers were impregnated throughout with salt from the lake.
 At another point on the lake, 1S-inch piles, set % years, are similarity pre- served with salt which has penetrated to their very center. Timbers in the South ern Pacific trestles across Salt Lake, placed in 1902, appear to be as good as on the day the piles were driven. They rave been preserved well above water line by the salt dashed onto them by the waves, a fact apparently anticipated by the en- gineers who built the trestles.
 The first transcontinental telegraph line, built before the railroad, extended west from Salt Lake City through the prosperous mining camps of Eureka, Aus tin and Virginia City. When the railroad was built the telegraph line was trans ferred to follow it's right of way and the old poles sawed off at the ground. An engineer who recently examined the butt s left in the ground in the salt desert rear Fish Springs found that, although 50 years had passed since the poles were cut off, the old butts were perfectly sound.
 Telephone and electric companies in the Salt Lake valley have used the local salt for preserving poles. When set up about 75 pounds of salt is placed around the poles on the ground. This method cannot be used, however, when the pole is on or near lawn, or in any place where vegetation is desired.
 It is pointed out that the reason why the Waters of Salt Lake act as strong preservatiye. as distinguished from ocean

Preservation Of Eggs For Home Use And Sale
A MOney-Saving and Money
 Making Practice
1copyrisht. 1914, by Mstos-Menz Adv.

CO. Incl
 Eggs form a very considerable part of the table supplies of the average family. They are served in many dif- ferent ways and are used in the prep aration of many dishes. At certain sea sons of the year they are high in price and so make a considerable item in the household expenses,
 A large saving may be effected by preserving the lowpriced eggs of spring for use during the period of high prices. This may easily be done by adopting the following suggestions by Professor Stoneburn.

Dy EDWIN MEGARGEE

The Single-Conb White Leghorn enjoys wonderful popularity, and is probably mere widely bred than any other single variety of domestic poultry. This high place in the poultry world is well de- served. because this variety is not only beautiful. but is one of the heaviest lay CTS in the whole list of breeds. In activ- itr. hardness and in it's ability to rus tie'' it is unexcelled.
 Many breeders of the White Leghorn claim for it the title, worlds champion layer" This sweeping assertion may be cue stioned at times by the admirers of other breeds but it cannot be disputed that the dainty Leghorn has made some wonderful record. For instance, take the results secured at the second North American international egg-laying com petition. The winning pen of White Leg horns, five birds. produced 119O eggs dur ing the year. This is an average of 2Ss eggs each. The high individual score was ZS2 eggs, which is said to be the world g record in official events or this kind.
 But isolated individual records do not count for much. Most poultrymen pre- fer averages from large flocks. The White Leghorn can well submit to this test. In the official competition referred to above, e15 White Leghorn bullets and hens aver aged IT eggs each during the year. The general average of the 800 birds. repre- senting 2l breeds and varieties, was 156 cggs, so it is evident that the variety under discussion set high mark. Fur

There is nice profit in the business when conducted on the square.
 Many people seem to think that be- cause eggs are perishable and this meth
 cd of preservation is so simple, the re- suits must be unsatisfactory. The writer
 can testify to the contrary through ex- rerience gained in preserving thousands of dozens of eggs. Let any doubter try the plan in a small way and he will be convinced of it's money saving and money making value

ther, the eggs are pure white in color, | large in size and uniform in shape. Thus, l they bring highest prices in select white | cgg markets.
 | The exhibition type of the Single-Comb 1 White Leghorn is wondrously beautiful.
 As will be noted in the illustration, the
 comb of the male is rather low, with Il | long blade and five cican-cut, regular of the neck, as this is considered a de- feet. The females comb is similar in shape. but falls over to one side. The 1 wattles are long and thsn, well rounded | and free from wrinkles Ear-lobes are | almond shaped, smooth and close-fitting. | The long, slender neck is nicely arched; | the breast full and round, carried well forward The large tail is widespread,
 and in the case of the male is decorated with d profusion of long sckles and
 coverts. As true Leghorn shows plenty
 of daylight under him." the thighs and
 shanks should be long and cean-cut. In color the sexes are alike. Eyes, comb, wattles and face are red; car-lobes, white; beak, shanks and toes, yellow The plum age is pure white in all sections, white to the skin. Brassiness-a yellow tinge
 on the surface plumage-or any foreign color are to be religiously avoided.
 Both as an exhibitions and utility fowl
