CHAPTER VI-continued.

Well. it would not take long. 1t
would be over in twentyZfour hours,
unless-a horrible thought came to
him-those men below, whose prison
or he would be in two hours, were
savages in the rough; savages with
the blood-lust fairly reused and in
famed by defeat.
He had heard tales of torture among
the prisoners that he had seen at No
gales-horrible talesl
The thought of having to go with
out even saying farewell to Dorothy
unnerved him for a moment, but he
realized his own limitations, and he
knew that in that last moment he
would betray himself. So down he sat
at the table and wrote two short
notes; one to his colonel, in which he
explained the whole affair, and the 9TH
er to the sister that lived in quiet
little Maryland town among the placid
back eddies of the eastern shore.
Kynaston, his notes written, filled
the clip of the automatic and slipped
1t into his bootleg, where its fiat frame
would be most likely to lie undetected.
A moment later Upton came into
the room. His face was gray with
suppressed feeling and his gaunt frame
showed unmistakable suffering. In the
few minutes that had passed since
Kynaston had left him the whole trag-
edy of the next twenty-four hours had
been brought home to him.
Il can't let you go, boy" he said
hoarsely. I'VE had better take our
chance. Bring your men on over across
the border"
The appeal was almost overwhelm-
ing in its intensity.
''DoB't you know that it means your
life?"
Il know. But 1t meaDs war IL
do; ami, Upton, as God is my Judge,
cannot start war that will involve
the country to save my own skin.
You see that, don't your"
Upton licked his dry lips.
"When-when-do you mean to
leave?" he asked.
{, Right now"
Kynaston's face was pale.
Are the ladies in the back
room?"
Yes. I'll go with you to the
door,"
The two men strolled listlessly to-
ward the door of the main room, where
The defenders stood eying them.
Frank puzElement was written large
upon their faces as Upton unbarred
the door, letting Kynaston out upon
the smooth four-hundred-yard stretch
of grass that spread from the door
step to the stream, grass that had
been laboriously planted by hand
through two generations.
Below them the land sloped away
to the east, riot of gold and dun,
pearl and opal, and that curious red
brown that one sees in the southwest
and nowhere else on earth.
Looking out before he shut the door
again, Upton saw. mile away. col
aFnn Of red dust swirl up to the anne
thystine sky and heard a series OF
song, Joyous yells that cut the desert
silences like knife. Yell after yell
broke out, then firing, and then more
yells.
'That1l be the arrival of the re-
endorsements they spoke Of" said Ky
1aston- I'm off, old man. Adios!

HEAT AND REST FOR CHICK:
Hen Should Hover Young Fowls A.
most Continually for Few Days to
Avoid Chilling.

The first requirement Of a little
chick is heat and rest. They should
be placed in warm, clean place on
clean straw If with hen, the hen
should be so restricted as to prevent
her from leading the chicks out to be-
come chilled. The hen should hover
the chicks almost continually for the
first few days.
Chilled chicks usually develop slow
ly and many die that would have 9TH
erwise been thrifty chicks. Chilling
often causes white diarrhea.

BoBoLINks HAVE TEA PARTY.

"The other morning" commenced
Daddy, ''the Bobolinks had an After
noon Tea
do Birds drink Afternoon Tear"
asked Nancy.
mo, it isn't the Afternoon Tea that
your mother and the grown-up ladies'
have, but they called this Party an Aft
ernoon Tea Party.
I'm one way they were right-for
they gave the Party in the afternoon
and as for the Tea-well they had
something they thought was far, far
better.
THE Tea Party was given for the
Meadow Larks. The Bobolinks are
great friends of the Meadow Larks
and they wanted to be the first this
season to entertain them. Besides
most of the Bobolinks had new sum-
mer homes and their colony was near
beautiful stream.
you know the Bobolinks always
build their homes in the meadows
but they build very near stream and
their homes are always deep down In
the long grass
"They had all come to live in Wav-
ing Grassland for the summer-that is,
all the Bobolinks who always moved
about together in the summer and win
ter-and many Of their friends, the
Meadow Larks, were all on hand to
greet them A number Of others were
going to arrive in a few days-before
the Tea Party.
Now Waving Grassland was very
beautiful country. The meadows were
very large and the grass was so beauti-
full and so long that it always waved in
the soft breezes so that the Bobolinks
named their new summer place the
Waving Grassland.
"And so the Bobolinks made all their
preparations for the Tea Party. All the
guests arrived dressed up in their best
new summer plumage And the Meadow
Larks came first as they were the.
guests of honor"
who were the other guests?" asked
Nancy.
WELL" answered Daddy, "the Red
Breasted Grosbeak family was all
there looking too lovely for words.

ARMY OFFICER DISAPPEARS
so DOES PRICELESS GEM

There followed garbled account Of
the arrival of the Emerald Bell in KY
naston's camp. A still more garbled
account of how it came into northern
Mexico. The account of the gallant
fight made by the prisoners he had
left in his camp told plainly enough
the source of the story.
The article stated that. acting on in
formation received from a Mexican
prisoner who had been outrageously
abused by the army officer who had
captured him, the Tarryville Argus
had dispatched a special correspond
ent to the camp Of the United States
troops.
There he found Major Updyke, who
with visible reluctance had substan-
tiated the story about the jewel.

A Contest Of Wits.

Dusk was slowly drawing down as
Kynaston left the house. Below him
in the camp Of the attackers excite
ment was rife. Serious as was his
predicament, he could not help specu-
lating on the cause Of it. Anything,
even the most trivial thing, might turn
the scale in his favor, and he did not
mean to miss the slightest chance.
He knew right well that, given the
chance, Upton would get his party out
and across the border to the place
where the cavalry had camped. He

It Is Profitable to Prevent Diseases
Which Would Cause Trouble,
Loss and Expense.

Remember that the brooder must al
ways be cleaned thoroughly every two
or three days and disinfected at least
once week with some good liquid dis
infectant. Clean, disinfected breeders
often prevent diseasea which would
cause much loss and expense.

Five Present.

Good roads and how to secure them
was one of the main features OF the
annual meetin of the county commits
sioners of North Dakota, which was
held at Valley City during the past
three days. This topic was given a
good and thorough hearing and dis
cussion. The concensus was that the
matter could be handled most advan
tageously by the county board.
Few Present.
The meeting, which should have
beee been more largely attended, con
sisted of IS of the officials from vari
Gus parts Of the state. Many coun
ties were not represented at all, on
account of the fact that the commits
sioners had to pay their own fares
instead of having the tax payers foot
the bills, and also on account OF the
great difficulty experienced In travel
during the cold spell that has visited
all parts of the state.
Heard Good Addresses. =
Those present heard GOOD address
es by representative men and feel
that it was very successful gather

meeting on topics of interest to the

WORDS SHOULD
m Their USER


Did you ever stop to think that
words may be like clothes-too large
or too small? That when they do not
suit the thought they are ill-fitting,
and unpleasant to the party who
hears or reads them? Yet this is, in
deed, often the case. And every per
son should choose his words with
care, SO they may not be too big, like
fathers trousers on his little son, or
too little, like q hand-me- down suit
three sizes too small for a CROWNS
boy Besides, q person who uses
words that do not convey his exact
meaning loses tie force Of an idea
that might accomplish much in deed
and action. A hck Of skill in the
use Of these TOOLS OF thought may
Serve to keep one down in the world
when he belongs on top. II you once
