a rustler, a thief, a red-handed ruler
Of the worst gang of robbers" replied
Longstreth, impressively.
Floyd bowed his head at that, as
If the significance had just occurred
to him. But he was not long at loss.
"She's going to find it out sooner
or later. I tell you she knows now
there's something wrong out here.
She's got eyes. Mark what say"

Lawson halted In his restless walk
and leaned against the stone mantel-
piece. He had his hands in his pock-
cts. He squared himself as If this
was his last stand. He looked desper-
ate, but on the moment showed an
absence Of his usual nervous excite
ment.
"Longstreth, that may well be true"
he said. mo doubt all you say is
true. But 1t doesn't help me. l want
the girl. If l don't get her-I reckon
We'll all 60 to hell"
Longstreth gave slight start,
barely perceptible, like the switch of
an awakening tiger. He sat there head
down, stroking his mustache. Duane's
conviction was that Longstreth right
then and there decided that the thing
to do was to kill Lawson.
Lawson no more caught the fateful
significance of line crossed, limit
reached, a decree decided than If he
had not been present. He was
obsessed with himself. How, Duane
wondered, had man of his mind ever
lived so long and gone so far among
the exacting conditions of the South
west? The answer was, perhaps,
that Longstreth had guided him, up
held him, protected him. The COM
ing Of Ray Lorgstreth had been the
entering-wedge of dissension.
"You're too impatient" said Long
streth. RAY might be won. She
might marry you to save me, but she'd
hate you. That isn't the way. Wait.
Play for time. Let's plan to sell out
here-stock, ranch, property-and
leave the country. Then you'd have
show with her."
81 told you we've got to stick"
growled Lawson. "The gang won't
stand for our going. 1t can't be done
unless you want to sacrifice every
thing"
"You mean double-cross the men2
Go without their knowing? Leave
them here to face whatever comes2"
81 mean just that"
"Tm bad enough, but not that bad"
returned Longstreth, eff I can't get
the gang to let me off, I'll stay and
face the music. All the same, Law
son, did 1t ever strike you that most
of the deals the last few years have
been yours?"
"Yes. II hadn't rung them in
there wouldn't have been any. You've
had cold feet, and especially since
this ranger has been here"
swell, call II cold feet If you like.
But I call 1t sense. We reached our
limit long ago. Then we had to go

VENUS MINE IS NOW
 A BIG PRODUCER

WHITEHORSE, Y. T., Sept. 30.- That the Venus mine near Carcross has produced and shipped upward of one hundred thousand dollars in crude ore and concentrates the past 14 months, is statement verified by Supt. J. F. Mcfarland, who accom- panied Mir. Harper to Whitehorse the first of the week, says the Whitehorse Star
 When M Mcfarland assumed the direction of affairs of the Venus and Montana groups last year the difficult task of rehabilitating a prop erty long since given over to the elements and the junk collectors. presented itself The real potential possibilities of the property could not be ascertained in advance of the renewing old workings and 'un. icing" deep shafts.
 Late in last February crew of men under the supervision of H. W. Newton began putting the Venus mill in shape for a long campaign. it having been demonstrated that the mill as equipped, supplemented by the Notation process. would cheap ly treat the ores of the Venus and adjacent properties. This work has now been carried to a conclusion and with the steaming up of the big new boiler just installed. the Venus property starts on long tenure of ore production and reduction.
 Supt McFarland's estimate of mill tonnage fifty thousand tons in place now being developed-has been found conservative and a crew of miners are constantly adding to this reserve. About 1000 tons of milling ore is broken in the mine and in the binds of grade ranging between $l5 and $30 to the ton. The crude ore shipments have averaged around $70 the ton. not taking into account some especially high grade ship ments.
 Supt. Mcfarland is being succeed ed at the Venus by Mir. Thbs. Land CTS a mining engineer of Montana who for some years. has been in .he U. s. government service. Forty or 1 fifty men will be employed through out the winter. The concentrate out put h figured at approximately 4lt

The bishop uh- frocks him as soon as his condition be- comes apparent. Rene, the bishops s daughter, with whom Raeburn is in love, repudiates him.
 In his despair Raeburn drifts to the slums. where he falls under the inf1u- ence of Rags pretty piano player in q saloon. She falls in love with him and attempts to redeem him.

 His new work is very successful. and attracts the attention of the bishop, who visits the club. recognizes the  and reinstates him in ministry. Feel ing that he owes a debt of gratitude to Rags. and being aware of her affection for him, Raeburn asks her to marry him. But Rags knows that he still loves Rene and refuses him. The out come strikes a deep human note.
 Besides the players at lnceville. the boys choir from St. Paurs Pro-Cathe- dral in Los Angeles participated in the action.
 The cathedral was constructed at knoxville and occupied the entire floor space of the largest stage. Pews were installed which would have seated 800, and stained glass windows are an ex- amples of the substantial construction that was followed out in the setting. Real hymn books were procured, too, as Ince insisted on their use in the scenes showing the congregation sing ing.
 During the action of the scenes in which DeUmond as the young divinity student, is ordained. Rt. Rev. J. H. Johnson. Bishop of the Diocese of Southern California. at the invitation of producer Ince supervised the tech nical details.

CANADA'S RAILROAD
 POLICY IS OUTLINED

OTTAWA, Sept. 26-While no official intimation has been given by the Government, it is understood that when the Canadian Northern Railway stock is acquired by the Government there will be a reorgani- zation of the board of management It is likely that Sir William Mack enzie, Sir Donald Mann, and MT R. J. Mackenzie will retire. D. R. Hanna will remain on the board, and in all probability will be asked to act as general manager of the new system. The general operating staff will not be interfered with.
 Sir Robert Borden, in a recent speech, outlined his views as to what he considered the best way of handling the railway situation in the future. He proposed co-opera- tive management in order to pre- vent duplication in capital expendi- ture, and to reduce operating ex penses He intimated that this will be the Governments railway policy for the coming election, the plan to be worked out by the next Par liament.
 He did not go into detail. but it is understood the plan is to have a board of experts representing at least the lntercolpnial, the National Xrans- continental, Canadian Northern, all of which are now Government roads; the Grand Trunk Pacific, which is being assisted by the Government. and may also be taken oyer, and the Grand Trunk. This board will coordinate the operation and ex penditure of the various lines in order to effect the greatest possible economy. The c. P. K. will prob ably not be included. Under its own management it is already one of the most efficient roads of the world, and will continue along it's present lines. The other roads will act together under one system.

WITNESS NATIVE BOYS
 DROWN NEAR HOME

Arrivals on the Belinda tell of narrowing drowning incident which sealed the fate of two native boys vcnturing across the lagoon, says the Nome Nugget of Sept 15.
 These boys, both who lived in Nome, are named Roy Lee and Har- ry Ooguyuk. They started off to cross the bay on Friday last while the wind was very squally and a nasty sea was running. They went in a whale boat with a sail set. While about three hundred feet from shore and the tide on the ebb, the boat upset and dumped them in the heavy seas. They clung to the overturned boat for five hours hop ing against hope that help would reach them or that the wind would drift them so close to shore that they would be able to swim to safe ty. The launch did endeavor to reach them but could make no head way against terrific sea and final ly they had to put back. The whale boat capsized, drifted further and further from the shore and finally the men dropped off to their doom The pitiful sight was wit messed by many on the beach who could do nothing to help them. One eyewitness stated that they all most succeeded in fighting the boat several times but the boats anchor prevented them each time. Tho an- chor dropped to the end of its line when the boat overturned.
