Over on the far side of the cleft
there was q faint CLINT of metal in the
deepening shadow. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation Hardy aimed and
fired. The mountainside rang with a
Shrill yell. The bullet had found its
mark. Hardy leaped to his feet and
dashed up the mOuntain-side, keeping
behind shelter where it was available,
but in places boldly rushing up over
open spaces.
There, on the spot where he had
seen the CLINT, he found a trace of
blood. The wounded man had crept
away up the cleft. For several yards
Hardy FOLLOWED the trail by the splash
es of crimson on the leaves and rocks
Then the traces ceased. But over in
one of the many clefts on the far side
of the gap he thought he saw some
thing move among the powders. He
sprinted down the slope and across the
gap his face flushed with exertion
but his eyes still cold and hard.
Among the heaps Of broken rocks in
the bottom of the gap Hardy lost sight
of the cleft for which he was heading
When he started to return along what
he supposed TO be the passage by
which he had entered, he soon found
himself in a cul-de-sac. Dusk was
now deepening into night. He came
out and into a steep ascent between
Overhanging Lodges. This certainly
was not the way by which he had en-
tered, but he kept to it, eager to es-
cape out of the maze.
Night had fallen when at last he
reached the top of the cleft and clam
bered up on a ridge crest. But the sky
was clear, and the starlight enabled
him to see the outlines of the noun
tains that cut the skyline. A star lower
down than any of the others caught
his eye. He peered at it fixedly. The
little twinkling point of light was
not a start was a fire, two or three
miles away across the intervening val
ley. Hardy took his bearings by the
stars and started down the mountain
side directly toward the fire.
Once clear of the rocks Of~the shat
tered mountain top, he found the going
unexpectedly easy. Almost from the
first he had lost sight of the fire ,anC
at no time did he see any trace of the
trail to the mine. Off to the left he
heard the diminutive roar of a noun
tain rill dashing down a ravine to jOiI
the main stream in the valley.
At last he came up over the edge OF
the ridgetOp, or terrace, on which the
riu headed. The moment his eyes
cleared the low underbruSh below the
few scattered pines he perceived the
flicker of the fire for which he was
looking. He could make out the ap
pearance of the dark forms around the
fire, but their number and the half
dozen white tepeeS grouped around the
fire told him that he had not found the
camp of his party.
He had no more than made this dis
covery when q number of yelping
Snarling mOngrel dogs rushed out a
him like a pack of wolves. He me-
their attack by swinging his rifle bar
rel around in a circle. The cowardly
ours closed about him, but were afrliC
to leap in within reach of the club. HI
had not stopped his advance. Nor die
he pause or hesitate when over the
heads of the leaping, yelling pack hi
saw the Indian women and children
scurry to the tepees and the bucks
spring up with their bows and guns.

United States, Salt Production.

In the production of that indispens-
able cOndiment, salt, the United States
is happily Independent of all other
countries. The 1921, 1876 barrels of
salt produced in 1915 by IA states, Por-
to Rico, and Hawaii constituted 90 per
cent of the salt consumed in this cOun-
try, and much more could easily have
been supplied had the demand required
it. Salt occurs naturally in two dis
tinct ways-as rock salt, in beds or
associated with bedded or sedimentary
deposits and in natural brines. The
larger part of our salt is obtained by
converting rock salt that lies deep be-
low the earth's surface into artificial
brines, which are pumped to the sur
face and there evapOrated. Some idea
of the quantity of salt evaporated from
natural brines may be gained from
statistics of the output Of Michigan
alone for 1915. That state yielded
G,708,261 barrels of evapOrated salt.

Salt in History

In olden times, when salt was not
so easily obtained as it is today, it
was regarded in some countries as a
luxury. This seems strange, does it
not? At one time the Chinese made
it into little cakes. stamped the image
of the emperor upon it, and used it as
money, In Arabia those who together
ate food which had been salteG, be-
lieved that this established a special
bond Of friendship between them. This
led TO the old saying: There is salt
between US"
