He slipped away at this. grinning to
himself. and sat down to watch the
plain. All about him lay the waving
grass land, tracked up by the hoofs of
cattle that had vanished In the track
of war. In the distance he could see
the line of fence and the ruins of a
house. The trail which he had fol-
lowed led on and on to the north But
all the landscape was vacant, except
for his grazing horses. Above the
mountains the midday thunder-caps
were beginning to form; the air was
very soft and warm. and He woke
up suddenly to hnd his head on his
knees.
"Umpum-m." he muttered. rising up
and shaking himself resolutely. "thia
won't do-that sun Is making me
sleepy"
He paced back and forth, smoking
fiercely at brown-paper cigarettes, and
still the sleep came back. The thun-

higher and turned to black; they let
down skirts and fringes and sudden
stabs OF lightning. while the wind

upon them.
At the first big drops Gracia stirred
uneasily In her sleep. She started up
as the storm burst over them; then. as
Bud picked up the saddle-blankets and
spread them over her. she drew him
down beside her and they sat out the
storm together. But 1t was more to
them than sharing of cover. patient
enduring of the elements. and the
sweep Of wind and rain. When they
rose up there was bond between
them and they thrust and parried no
more.
They were friends. there III the rush

CHAPTER XVI.

Though men may mike Jest OF II
In books. 1t is solemn thing to kill
a man, even to be near when one is
killed. If Gracia had slain Del Rey
herself in passion her hot blood
might have buoyed her up. but now
her whole nature was convulsed with
the horror of 1t and she wilted like a
flower
An hour before she had burned with
hatred of him. she had wished him
dead and sought the man who would
kill him. Now that his. life had been
snipped on between two heart-beats
she remembered him with pity and
muttered prayer for his soul. For
Hooker. for De Lancey she had no
thought. but only for the dashing
young captain who had followed her
to his death.
OF this Bud had no knowledge. He
realized only that she was growing
weaker, and that he must call halt.
and at last, when the walls of their
pass had widened and they rode out
into the open plain. he turned aside
from the trail and drew rein by a
clump of mesquit.
Here. let me take you." he said,
as she swayed uncertainty in the sad
die. She slid down into his arms and
he laid her gently In the shade.
Poor GIRL" he muttered. Its been
too much for you. Ill get some water,
and. pretty soon you can eat"
He unslung the canteen from his

her to herself, glancing swiftly along
the horizon as he tied out their mounts
to Craze. But for her faintness he
would have pushed on farther. for he
had seen men off to the east: but hun.
, ger and excitement had told upon her
even more than the day-and-night ride
For a woman, and sitting side-sad
die. she had done better than he had
hoped; and yet-well. 1t was a long
way to the border and he doubted II
she could make it. She lay still in the
shade OF the mesquit, just as he had
placed her. and when he brought the
sack Of food she did not raise her
head.
Better eat something" he sug
gested. spreading out some bread and
dried beef Here's some oranges
got from Don Juan-I'll just put them
over here for you"
Gracia shuddered. signing YEARLY
Then, as II his words had hurt her
she covered her face and wept.
What did you tell that man?" she
asked at last
'w'y--what man?" inquired Hook

She broke down suddenly In fit of

AS one grows old their organs act

it creates a good healthy appetite,
strengthens digestion, enriches the

The Red Cross.

The Red Cross owes its real origin to
the great and terrible campaign OF 1859,
when Napoleon made il his boast that he
would ee Italy IRON the Alps 10 the
Adriatic." AT the great battle OF Magenta
10000 Austrians and some 5000 French
soldiers were left dead and dying on the
fields.
A Swiss gentleman, named M. Henri
Dunant. made pilgrimage to that battle
field ard was an involuntary eyewitness
oi,he aw full carnage oithe battle Solferino,
a battle which lasted some sixteen hours
and left some 10000 de and wounded.
Henri Dunant realized that the medical
service Of v hat was probably the great
est army in the world was absolutely in
adequate 10 cope nth the casualties, and
he Was at once compelled 10 take some
action 10 reclify the matter
The result was thai he wrote small
book Tor private circulation, entitled "Un
Souvenir de Sol'erino," and this, with
his private appeal, resulted in Napoleon
Ill. commanding Dunart TO his presence.
where, with the great Marshal Mac
Mahon, they seriously talked m itlers
over.
The result OF this was conference Of
the powers called together by the Swiss
federal government, at which Henri Dunant
placed his proposals. Out OF this Geneva
conference of 1864 resulted the Geneva
convention, under which all medical sup
plies and personnel in war time are pro-
tected.

A thick vein OF oituminous coal, meas

ness, and OF splendid burning qualities,
was discovered last week by Julius Wag-
ner, who was digging pond at his saw
mill, at Wagner Settlement, in the upper
Patterson'S Creek Valley, in Hampshire
county. While excavatng. he unearthed
an outcrop OF coal, which he tested in his
boiler. The discovery OF the coal in the
Wagner settlement caused quite furry

TO open up a mine. Ii is believed thai
this is an outcrop OF the vein underlying

Take Care Of the Teeth.

Teeth are the things which most pa
rents are prone to neglect. 1t is esll-
mated that more than 60 per cent OF the
children in the public schools have al
least one tooth which badly needs allen-
ton from dentist.
Don't think that nothing needs TO DC
done for a tooth Just because it causes
the child no pain. Decayed teeth are
ideal breeding places for germs and make
a child much more liable TO all sorts OF
infectious diseases. II something IS moi
done for them they may not cripple MS
mouth for lite or they may cause Inc
Glands OF his neck TO swell up and form
abcesses. Then, too, the child with de-
csyed or painful teeth cannot mas'lca'e
his food properly. and so fails TO get the
nourishment his growing body demands.
Before you deal TOO severely with your
little s1ns and daughters because they are
irritable or because they do poorly IN
their studies, be sure that it's not some
defect in their physical condition that is
10 blame.
