Starbuck had no farther to go than
to the garage where he had put up his
car. and when he got It and drove to
the Kinzic building. Smith came out Of
the shadow Of the entrance to mount
beside him.
'Drive around to the garage again
and let me try another phonc," was
the low-spoken request. my wire
isn't working"
The short run was quickly made.
and Smith went to the garage office.
A moment later a two-hundred-pound
policeman strolled up to put huge
foot on the running board of the wait
ing auto. Ssarbuck greeted him as a
friend.
"Hello. Mac. How's tricks with you

I'll drive you ar, and"
Three minutes later the threatening
danger was a danger pushed little
way into the future. and Starbuck was
back at the garage curb waiting for
Smith to come out. Through the win
dow he saw Smith placing the receiver
on Its hook. and a moment afterward
he was opening the car door for his
passenger.
"Did you make out to raise the

In.
"Yes. He will meet me at his cham

The hen pigeon usually lays two
eggs In three days before she starts
to sit. II more than two eggs are laid
1t is advisable to remove the extra
ones, as pair of pigeons can raise
only two good squads at one time. The
period of incubation Of pigeon eggs is
about seventeen days. Both the male
and female pigeon sit on the eggs, the
male usually relieving the female dur
ing part or most OF the day. Pigeon
eggs are usually fertile If the pigeons
are healthy and properly fed, espe-
cially when they have free range. One
squad CASUALLY the male) frequently
matches first, and where there are sew
eral cases where one SQUAD outgrows
its nest mate, 1t may be advisable to
sort the squads In the nests, making
size and age. They should usually be
changed in the nest, however, before
they are ten days old, ut which time
their parents stop feeding them on
pigeonsmilk.
Fed by Parents.
Squads are reared and fed by both
Of the parent birds on a thick, creamy
mixture called pigeon milk, produced
In the crop Of the pigeons. 1t Is very
essential that the pigeons have plen-
tiful supply Of grain while they are
rearing squads II rapid growth of the
young is to be secured. Pigeons usu-
ally feed the squads shortly after they
themselves are fed and should not be
disturbed at that time. thus making
Ii advisable to water them before they
are fed. Care should always be taken
not to frighten or disturb pigeons or
squads any more than Is absolutely
necessary. II the parent birds die the
squads may sometimes be removed to
a nest where there Is only one sQuab,
or they may be fed artificlally, al
though this process takes considerable
time.

Again Starbuck's reply translated
itself into action. With a skillful

ahead at top speed, and for a matter
OF ten miles or more held dimin-
ishing lead In the race throggh sheer
good driving and an accurate knowl-
edge OF the road and its twistlngs and
turnings. But the road would soon
become cart track in the mountains;
there was no outlet to the north save
by means of the railroad bridge at
Little Butte station, and from some
where up the valley and beyond the
railroad bridge came the distance
softened whistle of train.
Starbuck set a high mark for him
self as courageous driver of motor
cars when he came to the last of the
three road crossings. Jerking the car
around sharply Mt the instant of track
crossing. he headed straight out over
the ties for the railroad bridge. II
was n courting of death. To drive
the bridge at racing speed was haz-
ardous enough, but to drive II thus In
the face OF a downcoming train seemed
nothing less than madness.
1t was after the car had shot into
the first of the three bridge spans
that the pursuers pulled up and
opened fire. Starbuck bent lower over
his wheel, and Smith clutched for
handholds. Far up the track on the
north side Of the river headlight
flashed In the darkness. and the
hoarse blast of locomotive, whistling
for the bridge. echoed and re-echoed
among the hills.
Starbuck drove for his life. With
the bridge fairly crossed. he found
himself on a high embankment; and
the oncoming train was now less than
half mile away. Somewhere be-
yond the bridge approach there was
road; so much Starbuck could recall.
If they could reach its crossing before
the collision should come
They did reach It, by what seemed
to Smith a margin of no more than the
length of the heavy freight train
which went Jangllng past them scant
II second or so after the car had been
wrenched aside into the obscure mesa
road. They had gone mile or more
on the reverse leg Of the long down
river detour before Starbuck cut the
speed and turned the wheel over to
his seat-mate.

makings." he said. dry-lipped. feeling
In his pockets for tobacco and the
