Duane quietly. "And I'll go to Mer-

CHAPTER u.

When Duane came to the gate of
his home and saw his uncle there with
mettlesome horse, saddled, with can
teen, rope and bags all in place, a
subtle shock pervaded his spirit. 1t
had slipped his mind-the consequence
OF his act. But sight Of the horse ana
the look OF his uncle recalled the fact
that he must now become fugitive.
An unreasonable anger took hold of
him.
"That d--d foolP he exclaimed
hotly. Meeting Balm wasn't much,
Uncle Jim. He busted my boots, that's

dering.
"NO, son, you're not. An you never

When this thing is lived down, II that
time ever comes, I'll get word into the
unsettled country. It'll reach you
some day. That's all. Remember, be
a man. Good-by."
Duane, with blurred sight and con-
tracing throat, gripped his uncle's
hand and bade him wordless fare
well. Then he leaped astride the black
and rode out of town.
AS swiftly as was consistent with
care for his steed, Duane put a dis
tance OF fifteen or eighteen miles
behind him. He passed several
ranches, and was seen by men. This
did not suit him, and he took an old
trail across country. Ii was fat

and prickly-pear cactus. Occasionally
ne caught glimpse of low hills in the
distance. He had hunted often in that
sectiop, and knew where to find grass

higher ground he did not, however,

spot, but went on and Oh.
At last he found a secluded spot. un-
der cover of thick mesquites and oaks,
nt a goodly distance from the old trail.
He took saddle and pack or the horse,
made small fire, prepared and ate his
supper. This done, ending the work
OF that day, he sat down and filled his
pipe. When night set in and the
place seemed all the more isolated and
lonely for thct Duane had sense of
relief.
1t damned upon him oil at once that
he was nervous, watchful, sleepless.
The faol caused him surprise, and he
began TO think back, TO take note OF
his late actions and their motives. The
change one day had wrought amazed
him. He who had always been free,
easy, happy, especially when out alone
in the open, had become in few short
hours bound, serious, preoccupled. He
felt tired, yet had no inclination to
rest. He intended TO be Off by dawn,
heading toward the southwest. Had

worker and considers him splendid
example of a "mollycoddle"
1T is difficult to overcome these
prejudices by the ordinary methods,
because in all their business connec-
tions the tendency is to aggravate
and increase the strained relations al
ready existing. Labor charges are
not properly recorded, material charg-
es are omitted, etc, and the factory
man is continually lectured and his
shortcomings exaggerated about mat
tiers, that to his mind, are of minor
importance compared with the great
problems of manufacturing. These
charges, to his notion, are mere de-
tails, worthy only OF the attention OF
the "mollycoddle' from the Office.
ITO relieve the situation, factory
or industrial club is invaluable. To
be efficient, it must be both social
and an athletic organization.
Meeting socially, the office man
makes the wonderful discovery that,
although the factory man has no
taste for nor interest in the intrica-
cies Of bookkeeping, still he enjoys
the same authors and poets, has an
admiration for the same actors and
plays, and love for the same sculp.
tors and artists. A bond Of mutual
interest is Immediately formed.
ION the athletic field, the factory
employe finds the ONCE man is his
equal, If not his superior, in skill and
stamina, and is favorably impressed
thereby.

MISS FRANCIS MAKES
 FINE. RECORD IN OFFICE

In seeking reelection for the off ice of county superintendent ol schools, Miss Lenore Francis goes before the voters with record hard to excel.
 During her first term in office, three new school districts have been organized and schools estab lished to meet the need of the growing population.
 She has tried to raise the stand ard ef the schools and put rural school education on a basis with city schools.
 Three new buildings have been erected and fourth is in course of construction. All plans used have been endorsed highly by MT. c. O.. Case, state superintendent of pub lie instruction. Better lighting, ventilation, and sanitation have been the principal features.
 School supplies have been pur- chased by competitive bid system at less expense to the boards.
 State Examiner Dave Johnson sent in a splendid report on the records of the office, cost of, ,supervis- ion, and saving in district expense. All vouchers have been carefully itemized and O. K.'d by the state.
 MT. Davis, deputy examiner for MT. Case, stated that Miss Francis records are the best kept and most efficient In the state.
 The rural school specialist, Mrs. Cook, sent out by the United States Department Of Education, made a special mention of the in- stallation of Smith heaters in rural schools. She claims these to be less expensive, less complicated, and to give entire satisfaction.
 If all office holders would per form their duty as splendidly as Miss Francis has, no one could make any complaint.
