Yet couple of night alarms shook
WilkerSon's resolution, and he agreed
with Drake that they should surren-
Ter the image.
Here they were confronted with a
new difficulty. None Of their men had
been allowed to know of the presence
of the idol, and Drake asserted that
to inform them now would be dan
gerous.
1t seemed unwise merely to drop 1t
by the wayside. as it might escape
notice, and no good would be done.
1t must be delivered to the priests
and the condition made that the white
men should be allowed safe conduct
To the city.
How to do this occupied their minds
until the day when they found them
selves really attacked in force and had
to take refuge in a native hut
Here their position was so perilous
that they had no time for anything but
preparations for defense.

She called over to Faversham, and
he reused himself, apparently much
embarrassed that he had been found
watching over the SAUNDERS of his com.

A moment later the whole camp was
up. and breakfast was soon dispatched.

onet said presently. $50 far we have

some brusqueness II don't intend

John DOrr had steadily grown more

scented his assumption Of guardianship
over Ruth. the more so that he real

His first impulse was to insist that

John Dorr Joined Sir Donald in argu-

Johns jaw stiffened.

power to stop me-
/ Faversham shook his head.
! "A word from me to the authorities
and you would find yourself not only
debarred from such foolhardy expe-

leave the country"
| John grinned.
! II suppose that's right" he agreed.
''But you won't be a spoil sport, will

The baronet shook his head.
"No, won't But can't go myself

For the moment John was blinded by
blaze of jealousy.
While he was risking his life for
Ruth's sake Faversham would sit COM
fortably within the protection of his
club and plot ways of winning Ruth.
He CURLY accepted the offer of the
servant and went of to make his prep

There was the glimmer of a smile on
Ruth's lips as she answered meekly.
Then you don't think that-sitting

worth while?"
For a moment John stood and stared
at her. The blood rushed into his face.
Then the full meaning of her light
evasion of his real meaning struck him
like blow between the eyes.
His heart was filled with love for
her. love that had grown and increas-
ed since the hour when he had first
seen her at old Tom Gallons door.
He had thought that his devoted serv-
Ice to her interests, his constant atten-
ton to the slightest detail that could
insure her future happiness, would
have published that love to her.

There was struggle in Ruth's breast
too. Yet the memory of her promise
to Faversham stilled her.
In that long and terrible moment she
realized that John Dorr was all IN ali
to her. Yet she was bound to another
who had risked his life on the strength
Of her promise TO marry him, and she
could not speak what was in her heart
She tried to look John bravely in the
eyes, and the tears would come In

PRACTICE OF CREAM GRADING
Better Material Is Secured for Cream
cries and lnsures Better Product
for the Consumer.

tBy r. MCANN, State Dairy Inspector
of Colorado.)
The old system OF spelling good
cream with bad by mixing the two
is a practice to be relegated to the
past. Consumers, manufacturers and
producers alike should demand and ex-
pect that progress or a lead be made
In products and manufactures Of their
respective community and state.
While cream grading Is compare
lively new measure in many of our
bordering states, 1t has apparently
proved beyond doubt it's value in many
respects, the foremost OF which are:
Securing a better material for cream
cries; placing an incentive and reward
for the production Of good cream by
difference in price received for first
grade cream over that for second
grade, and insuring better product
for the consumer, thereby increasing
consumption and demand for products
manufactured.
