his hands and clutch at the air, or at the pro-

scientists explan this conduct by the fact that

climb TO safety when alarmed. Unfortunately
this instructive act is the worst thing the drown
ing person could do, for it tends to submerge
the head and hasten the end. But since 1t Is IN
stinctive it is practically irresistible, and people
will probably continue TO throw up their hands
in similar emergencies to the end OF time-un-
less they learn TO swim

nurse was out the mother had to settle the mat

mother to do She could either stay in the room
with the child until she fell asleep, or she
could resort TO trick that would silence the

CHAPTER xL.


The Escape.
The grind Of the wheels under the
brakes had hardly ceased when a high
official OF the court OF Grahofen
sprang aboard the train. looking this
way and that expectantly, peering
through the windows and doors OF
coach after coach. But he did not find
the man he sought. Hurrying through
the last car OF the train, at last he
h~alf-stumbled over the limp form OF
Bartel lying on the floor where Ro-
leau's arm had flung him. neck and
crop.
Quick here!" he called out. Here's
murder-but by whom? Where have
they got to? After them, meni"
But now some sort OF answer to their
questioning came in a shout from the
station platform. Someone was point
Ing beyond the train up the mountain
side. The official sprang forward.
After them, men! They must have
done this" cried he. "They have what
We seek"
A band OF mounted men an instant
later rode out OF the station In full
pursuit Of the fugitives. They raced
down the road, toward a bridge which
spanned the stream ahead.
Look yonder. e%xcellencyl" ex.
claimed Roleau at length, as he turned
and faced down the slope to gaze at
these pursuers. "They viii cut us on
On ahead. IoOk-they are riding for
the bridge"
He looked this way and that, as the
three paused uncertain. At last his
eyes fell upon a vast bowider that lay
a by the edge OF the ridge upon
which they stood. He cast a swift
glance below. lining up the course OF
the bOwider straight down 10 the
bridge below. Braelng himself. he
threw his shoulders against the bowl
der. exercising every ounce Of his own
prodigious strength.
The advancing soldiery heard the
roar OF the coming stone, saw how i'm
mlnent was the danger from Il, but
some Of the riders were already at
the bridge itself as Il struck. II
crashed through the timbers as n

Mimbres Valley. We can
never expect to see this country
developed as it should be un-
less we encourage the farmer.
Oil may be found and a large
field developed but il will play
out in time. Artesian water
may be struck but what will or
can it amount to it no market
can be found for farm products.
The time for preparation for
a tomato crop is here. There
is no Doubt bur what a large
acreage will be planted if there
is an assurance of a home can
merry. We must act now or
put it off for at least another
year. Let's hear the verdict.

elf and two small children on
ner ranch a few miles out from
town. Her husband. for sew

vas unable to work and the
Expense Of a stay in a hospital
n Ell Paso was also incurred,
Ieaving the lady with several
arge bills to pay. She did not
nave an even start with the
game. But she is optimistic
10 day if she did have to play
against odds at the start. She
also has had sickness to CON
tend with. Right here we want
10 express our admiration for
5ome able bodied men, some of
chem without families, who
complain that they cannot
make a living here. The lady
has depended upon her chickens
and what she grew on the place
for her living and as we said
above has had old debts on her
hands to pay. This record is
rema kable for a lady under
he -siFcumstances she had to
deal with.
Now the fact that such PEG,
pie as she and a large number
of others in this valley need
encouragement is apparent
Something is needed here to
put the farmer on a more stable
basis. A tomato cannery is
suggested by the lady. Why
not? Tomatoes that will
compare favorably in quality
with those grown anywhere in
the world can be grown here
with as little expense as they
can be grown anywhere. The
cost Of installing a cannery
of sufficient capacity to meet
the needs Of the valley for prob
ably several years will be in
the neiehborhood of $4,000.
Now the proposition that
the Courier suggests is the
formation Of a stock company,
There ought to be twenty Ave
men in the valley who would
subscribe 500 each. But this
will not be necessary. There
is many of the farmers, nc
doubt, who would be willing to
subscribe S25 or $50, and it is
possible that one hundred fifty
or two hundred people would
subscribe for a small amount
Of stock 1t would not be nee,
essary to put up the money
now. One month before the
tomatoes begin to ripen would
be time enough for the installa,
ton of the plant.
Now who will start the bal.
rolling? Who will show theil
faith in the outcome of such a
proposition by taking up a
subscription? Who will head
the list by subscribing about
$3.50 or even 500?
This is mean for a sugges.
ton but it is one that deserves
the consideration of everyone

WHY NOT EAT SNAIlS2

The Journal of the American Medical association wants to know why the American people don't eat sna5 emphasizes that there is essential differ between the snail and the oyster in either taste or nutritious value It argues that snas could be pro- duced the market in great quantities at small pense throughout the great mid-contnent where oysters are expensive where really fresh oysters almost impossible obtain. All that is required in the Mississippi valley for example, is place where snals run-perhaps "craw" is the better word from attack by birds and other enemies, and enough of their favorite food which easily supplied They multiply rapidly and take up very little room
 The chief objection snaiculture is that there is such market there is afforded chiefly by immigrant is supplied from foreign sources although American snas said to be just good French snais. The possibilities for such industry may be imagined the that Paris alone during the snail the daily consumption is said be fifty abou 2OOOOOOOOO snails.
 It would be worth while for Americans to try this edible gasropod at any and whether it really is as paatable the oyster Europeans maintain. It my make the test surely less the traditional first oyster. Why don't of enterprising young Americans so to them? There may be millions in it.
