Quest awoke the next morning,
stretched out his hand and glanced at
the watch by the side of the bed. It
was barely six o'clock. He turned over

to seven. rose and made a hasty
toilet. Then. in the act Of placing his
watch In his waistcoat pocket, he gave

his hand. removed the lid and drew
out the usual neatly folded piece OF
paper:

Quest for a moment was puzzled.
Then he hurried into the next tent,
where the professor was sleeping
peacefully
Say, professor. what's the time by

him gently.

They walked outside to the camp,
where the cowboys were finishing
their breakfast
Say, boss" one Of them called out,
you're not making that $3.50 train to
New York;"
why not?" Quest asked, quickly.
Its only three-quarters of IN hours

Both men glanced once more at
their watches. Then Quest thrust his
back with a little oath.
Our watches have been set back"
he exclaimed. The Hands again."
For a moment they looked at one
another, dumfounded. Then Quest
moved towards the corral.
Say, is there any quicker way to
the depot?" he inquired of the cow
boys.
They heard his question indiffer-
emily.

Fifty dollars for you then Quest
replied, as they hurried towards the
horses. and an extra ten if we make
the train.
They galloped off into the distance.
The cowboys finished their breakfast
and went off to their work. Laura
stole out from her tent and started OFF
in rather a shamefaced manner for a
walk. Presently Lenora opened her
eyes. She, too, stretched out her
hand for her watch, Suddenly she
sat up in bed with a little exclamation.
On the table by her side was a small
black box. She took off the lid with
trembling fingers, drew out a scrap
of paper and read.
Fools! Tongues Of flame will cross
Quests path. He will never reach the
depot alive.
Lenora glanced at Laura's empty
bed. Then she staggered to the open
ing of the tent.
Laura" she cried.
There was no one there. The cow
boys had all gone to their work, Laura
had passed out of sight across the
ridge in the distance. Lenora stag
gered to the cook wagon, where the
Chinese cook was sitting cleaning
plates.
Listen" she cried. They are in
danger, the three men who have gone
off to the depot! If you'll ride after
them, | will give you a hundred dol
lars. Give them this" she added,
holding out the scrap of paper.
The Chinaman shook his head. He
glanced at the slip of paper indiffer-
emily and went on with his work.

Lenora looked around helplessly.
The camp was empty. She staggered
across towards her own horse.
Come and help me-" she ordered.
The Chinaman came unwillingly.
They found her saddle, but he only
gazed at it in a stolid sort Of fashion.

can ride. Better go back bed"
Lenora pushed him on one side.
With a great effort she managed to
reach her place in the saddle. Then
she turned and. with her face to the

Yet all the time that one sentence was

iously. Suddenly the road dropped
from q little decline. She was con-
scious Of a wave of heat. In the dis
lance she could see the smoke rolling
across the open. She touched her
horse with the quirt. The spot which
she must pass to keep on the track to
the depot was scarcely a hundred
yards ahead, but already the fire
seemed to be running like quicksilver
across the ground, licking up the dry
crossword with indeed a flaming
tongue. She glanced once behind,
warned by the heat. The fire was
closing In upon her. A puff Of smoke
suddenly enveloped her. She coughed.
Her head began to swim and q fit Of
giddiness assailed her. She rocked

THE ORANGES COMEBACK

This month brings the forty
eighth anniversary Of the founding
Of the National Grange of Patrons
of Husbandry. Somewhat prema-
turely, it seems, there is talk already
Of the semi-centennial sessions. It
will be news to some that the
Grange still is alive and thriving.
= Organized in December, 1867, by
o. H. Kelley, a clerk in the Depart
nlent of Agriculture, who made a
tour of the Southern States and re-
turned impressed with the needs of
that section for the advancement
which cooperation might effect, the
order grew rapidly in power and in
fluence until in 1875 it was reputed
to have 100000 members.
Partly, but not entirely, through
its own fault, the Grange fell under
a cloud because Of political activity,
Much that was not creditable was
laid at its door. It did, however, ef-
feet great good. For example, il
secured passage of the oleomarga-
rine act, had the head of the Depart
ment. of Agriculture made Cabinet
officer, had experiment stations
founded and backed the passage OF
the interstate commerce act. But
its connection with politics caused q
swift fall in fortunes. Now for many
years the Grange has kept clear OF
politics and has devoted itself to thC
promotion of education, to increas
ing the culture of its members, anC
to technical instruction in agricul
ture.
On this sounder basis the order
has advanced until enthusiasts say
the membership is back at the OLE
hgh-water mark. It is the larges
agricultural orgsRization in tn,
United States, if not in the world
and its era of greatest usefulness i
still before it.
