But when he opened his eyes later,

For forty-eight hours he tried cat-naps
with an occasional sandwich to keep

seen, and disappeared despite his
watchfulness. A new supply of food
proved she had been near, but that IL
would be hard to time her coming.
When she did come, the third time,
an innocent snare discovered her pres

CHAPTER XIII.
CROSSING a Deep River.

A grizzly bear hidden among the
haystacks back Of the corral would
have given Nan much less anxiety
than De Spain secreted in the heart
of the Morgan stronghold. Her
troubled speculations were reduced
now almost to wondering when De
Spain would leave, and, disinclined
though she felt to further parley, she
believed he would go the sooner If she
were to consent to see him again.
That day Nan washed her hair. On
the second day she found herself de-
Gliding conscientiously to see De Spain
for the last time, and toward sunset.
She began dressing early for her trip,
picking the best of her limited stock
of silk stockings choosing the freshest
of her few pairs of tan boots. All of
her riding skirts looked shabby as she
frctfully inspected them; but Bonita
pressed out the newest one for the
hurried occasion, while Nan used the
interval, with more than usual care,
ON her troublesome hair-never less
tractable, 1t seemed, in her life.
De Spain was sitting with his back
against rock, and the look on his
face was one of reelection and irreso-
luton rather than of action and de-
cisicn. But he looked so restored after
his brief period of nourishment that
Nan, when she stepped up on the ledge
at sunset, would not have known the
wreck she had seen in the same. place
the week before.
His heart jumped at the sight of
her young face, and her clear, coura'
geous eyes surveyed him questioning
ly as he scrambled to his feet.
~ am going TO tramp out of here
tomorrow night" he confided to her
after his thanks. "It is Saturday; q

"Illde. Watch every chance to crawI

right side as he noticed the absence OF
her holster, 'where Is your protector

Nan flushed with vexation. "Per

ingly. "Don't you dare fight my
cousin here"
"Stand away from me-" hammered
De Spain, eying Morgan steadily.
"He Is wounded now," stormed Nan,
so fast she could hardly frame the
words. "You shan't kill him. If you

and woman. You shan't shoot
Gale! protect yourself" Whirling to

FOREST PROTECTION Is GAME
pRnTErHpTnN

The destruction OF forests is rapidly
diminishing big game and grouse,
Ducks and quail can do very well on
cut=over lands and farms, but the big
game and the partridge thrive only in
the deep wood. Laws restricting the
shooting Of these animals are of little
avail if there is no protection for their
breeding place. State refugees have
been created, in several localities for
the protection Of small game, but none
has as yet been made to protect moose
and deer with the single exception of
Itasca State Park, and the Superior
National Forest, which is also a game
preserve and the home of many moose
1tasca park is a splendid example
of what such a game refuge will DO
for the deer. Near the park the supply
Of deer is unfailing and scores of deer
are shot there every year, but farther
out the hunting is not nearly so good.
This shows what comparatively small
refuge will do. There are dozens of
other places in the state where similar
tracts Of Land of very little value for
any other purpose could be set aside
as state forests and kept as breeding
places for deer, moose, and partridge.
In addition they could be made to
yield a handsome revenue in the form
Of timber.-E. G. Cheyney, Minnesota

ers of Minnesota and North Dakota to
send their unmarried sons to the navy.

Mothers of Minnesota and North
Dakota, the nation has called upon
your states to give young men to de-
fend its honor on the sea. The navy
appeals to- you in the name of patrio-

GIVES QUICK RETURNS

POULTRY GIVES QUICK RETURNS
Persons who wish to help increase
the food supply this year should con-
slider the advantages Of poultry, says A..
c. Smith, University Farm, st. Paul.
Chickens, adds Mr.. Smith, give small
broilers each eight weeks, large broil-
ers in twelve weeks, full production
in from five to eight months, and they
multiply more rapidly than any other
animal.
Chickens may be produced economi-
cally on city and suburban lots by uti
lizing the food wastes from the
kitchen. Under such conditions, hens
may be kept proftabl- for egg pro-
duction. On farms, chickens thrive on
bugs, insects and worms, seeds, wild
berries, weeds and grasses, and give
the cheapest meat product pound for
pound.
