CHAPTER XVII.
In Sunrise GuIch,


William Starbuck drew the surgeon
aside after the first aid had been rem
dered, and Smith, still unconscious,
had been carried from the makeshift
operating table in the commissary to
Williams cot in the office shack.
How about it, Doc" asked the
mine owner bluntly.
The surgeon shook his head doubt
fully.
Il can't say. He'll be rather lucky
If he doesn't make it, won't he?"
Starbuck remembered that the doc
tor had come out in the auto with the
police captain and the two plain
clothes men.
"Hackerman has been taIking?" he
Queried.
The surgeon nodded. "He told me
on the way out. If 1 were in Smiths
place, I'd rather pass out with bull
let in my lung. Wouldn't your"
Starbuck was frowning sourly.
Suppose you make it a case of sus-
pended judgment, Doc" he suggested.
''The few of us here who know any
thing about 1t are giving John the
benefit of the doubt. They'll have to
show me, and half dozen of us, be-
fore they can send him over the road"
He knew they were after him?"
Sure thing; and he had all the
chance he needed to make his get
away. He was shot while he was
trying to get between and stop the
war and keep others from getting
killed"
ITS a pity" said the surgeon, glanc-
Ing across at the police captain to
whom Colonel Baldwin was appealing.
They'll put him in the hospital cell
at the Jail, and that will cost him
whatever slender chance he might 9TH
erwise have to pull through"
Starbuck looked up quickly. "Tell
'em he can't be moved, Doc DAN" he
urged suddenly. And then: you're
Dick Maxwell's family physician, and
Colonel Dexter's, and mine. Surely
you can do that much for us?"
Il can, and WILL" said the surgeon
promptly.
Three days after the wholesale ar
rest at the dam, Brewster gossip had
fairly outworn itself telling and re-
telling the story of how the High Line
charter had been saved; of how Craw-
ford Stanton's bold ruse of hiring an
ex-train-robber to impersonate a fed
eral-court officer had fallen through
leaving Stanton and his confederates,
ruthlessly abandoned by the un-
named principals, languishing bailless
in Jail; of how Smith, the hero of all
these occasions, was still lying at the
point of death In the Office shack at

of the construction methods should
aim to attain will be summarized
briefly.
() The questions of location, de-
sign, drainage, grading, etc, are, if
anything, more important in the case
of sand-clay roads than in the case of
earth roads.
~ The amount of clay contained in
a finished sand-clay road surface
should be only slightly more than suf-
icient to fill the voids in the sand.
Ordinarily about one part of clay to
two parts of sand gives satisfactory
results, though the ~oper proportion
for any particular case can be deter
mined best by experiment
(3) For average country-road traffic
and stable roadbed, the depth of a
sand-clay surface should be about
eight inches after it is compacted. If
clean sand and pure clay were used to
make the mixture, the respective
depths Of the sand layer and the clay
layer required would be approximate
ly eight inches and four inches, meas
ured loose. 1t Is customary to decrease
the surface thickness from center to
sides, with a feather edge extending
out over the shoulders, but this prac-
tice makes it necessary for most Of
the traffic to use the center of the

the plow burrows should extend down
into the clay usually varies from about
three inches to about five inches, and
depends on the sand content of the
clay and the compactness of the road
bed. 1t should be borne in mind that,
in this case, it is better to have a sur
plus of sand than a surplus of clay
in the surface, because the former is
more easily corrected.
Case 3.-Figure 2 illustrates the two
principal steps involved in construct
ing sand-clay surface with topsoil
or other natural sand-clay mixture.
The roadbed- should be graded in the
usual way, except that the portion to
be surfaced should be trenched out
with the grading machine to receive
the surfacihg material. The surfacing
material should be spread to such a
depth that 1t will be at least eight
inches thick at the center when COM
pacted.
Case 4.-Where it is necessary to
bring the sand and clay on the road
separately and mix them In place, the
method employed should be a combi-
nation of the methods already de-
scribed. That is, a trench should be
formed with the grading machine to
receive the bottom layer Of material,
which may be either the sand or the

For Old Linoleum.

An old linoleum, if not worn into
holes, may be refreshed and made al
most as good as new with little trou-
BILE. First, be sure that it is stretched
and tackled as closely as possible.
Then paint it all over with two coats
of any good wash paint, letting the
first one dry before supplementing it
with the second. When this is quite
dry, give the floor coating of orange
shellac. After this is dry, go over It
cellent finish to the floor and will make
the linoleum not only look well, but
add greatly to its wearing qualities,
An oil mop will keep it clean.

With famine threatening the British

Williams turned his face away and
Starbuck tightened his benumbing grip
upon the severed artery in the barred
arm from which he had cut the sleeve.
Smith seemed to be going off again,
but he suddenly opened his eyes and
pointed franticalIy with finger of the
one serviceable hand. "Catch him
Catch him !" he shrilled. He's going
to dy-dynamite the dam!"
Clinging to consciousness with q
grip that not even the blood loss

spring to his feet and give the alarm !;
saw three or four of the sheriff's men
drop their weapons and hurl them
selves upon another man who was try
ing to make his way unroticed to the
Stagings with a box of dynamite on
his shoulder. Then he felt the foolish
smile coming again when he looked up
at Starbuck.

The raucous blast of q freak auto

the doctor with his instrument bag,
and, closely following him, two plain

and understood
They're just-a little-too late,

closed his eyes wearily upon all his

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
The proper method to employ In
constructing sand-clay road surface
depends on the conditions to be met.
In general, there are four distinct sets
of conditions, all of which may occur
in the same locality, or even on diff
ferent sections of the same road.
These are:
Case 1, where the original roadbed
is sandy and it is desired to construct
the surface by adniXing clay;
Case 2, where the original roadbed
is composed of clay and it is desired
to construct the surface by admixing
sand;
Case 3, where it is desired to con-
struct the surface of topsoil or other
natural sand-clay mixture without ad-
mixing any of the roadbed material;
Case 4, where it is desired to supply
the clay and sand separately and mix
the two materials together in place to
form the surface.

separately, the general ends which all

LIFT YOUR CORNs
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus so 1t lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step. on your feet hereafter !;
wear shoes a size smaller if you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks Of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of a drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn. instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
If your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
Wholesale drug house.-adv.

sary to secure finished surface eight
inches thick usually will vary from
four inches to six inches, according to
the amount of sand the clay contains.
After the clay has been spread, plow
up sand from beneath in sufficient
quantity to make the net proportion
of sand to clay about 2 to 1. Ordinari.
~ the plow burrows should extend
down into the sand from four to six
inches, depending on the compactness
OF the roadbed and the amount of sand
originally present in the clay. But
1t is better to have too little than too
much sand, because it Is easier to add
sand from the roadbed than to haul
additional clay. Next harrow the sur
face with disk harrow. Repeat the
operations of plowing and narrowing
until the sand and clay are mixed thor
oughly and uniformly. Then shape up
the surface with a grading machine or
road drag and permit traffic upon it.
After the first soaking rain, plow and
harrow the surface again until the
surfacing material practically becomes
mud, after which shape up the surface
and keep it in shape by repeated drag
ging until it has dried out and is
thoroughly cOmpacted. Watch the road
carefully for several months after it
is first constructed, to correct def
ciencies of sand or clay and to keep
the surface in shape.
Case 2.-To construct q sandy-clay
road surface by admixing sand with
clay from the roadbed, the process is
exactly similar to that described for
Case 1, except that sand is spread over
the graded roadbed and clay is plowed
up from beneath to mix with it. The
depth to which the sand should be
spread for an efght-inch finished sur
face usually varies from four to eight
inches according to the amount of
sand contained originally in the clay
of the roadbed. The depth to which

MANURE FROM FARM ANIMALS
Great Source of Wealth Is Not Looked
After as Carefully as 1t Should
Be in Many Instances.

Some systematic experimenter has
made the discovery that the manure
from the farm animals, if carefully
saved and utilized as q fertilizer, is
worth annually as follows: That pro-
duced by the horse or mule, $27; that
Of cattle, 500 per head the hog, 81,
and the sheep, So. This great source
of wealth is not looked after as care
fully on our farms as it should be or
could be. The winter or feeding sea-
son could be made much more re-
sourceful in the manure than it is on
most farms. The manure should be
closely gathered and hauled to the
fields or grounds where it is to be used
and spread by use of the manure
spreader.

it will be found that the seed so
grown will give just as good yields,
or maybe better, than imported seed.
Growing mangels, turnips or car
rots for seed is quite simple. 1t ra-
quires no special skill nor any outlay
of capital, and the little labor in
volved is well repaid by the results.
Suppose each year one acre of man

spread and the mixing done as de-
scribed in Case 1 or Case 2. The
depths Of the respective layers should
be such as to secure completed sur
face at least eight inches thick, and
the proportions should be fixed in the
manner already described in discussing
the other cases.
