1t had been a day of nagging distrac-

by Stanton, as Smith made no doubt

had taken the alarm, and Smith had
spent the greater part Of the day in
trying to calm their fears. For this
cause and some others. he was on the
ragged edge when Baldwin dropped in
on his way home from the dam and
protested.

For once in way, Smith found that
there was no fight left in him, and he
yielded. telling himself that another

CHAPTER XII.
A ReprieVe.

Smiths blood ran cold and there was
SternatiOn, comparable to nothing that
any past experience had to offer. But
there was no time to waste in curious
SpeculatiOnS as to the why and where

guests under the same roof with him.
discovery, Identification disgrace were
knocking at the door. He could har-
Dor no doubt as to what Josiah Rich
lander would do if discovery came. For
so long q time as should be consumed
in telegraphing between Brewster and
Lawrenceville, Smith might venture to
call himself free man. But that was
the limit.
One minute later he had hailed 6
passing autocab at the hotel entrance,
and the four miles between the city
and Colonel Baldwln's ranch had ben
tossed to the rear before he remeln-
bered that he had expressly declined
a dinner invitation for that same eve
ming at Hillcrest, pleading business TO
Mrs Baldwin in person when she lad
called at the office with her daughtcr.
Happily, the small social offense
went unremarked. or at least unre-
buked. Smith found his welcome at
the ranch that of a man who has the
privilege Of dropping in unannounced.
The colonel was loosely hospitable, as
he always was; Mrs. Baldwin was gra
ciously lenient-was good enough, In
deed, to thank the eleventh-hour guest
for reconsidering at the last moment;
and Corona
Notwithstanding all that had come
to pass; Notwithstanding, also, that his
footing in the Baldwin household had
come to be that of family friend,
Smith could never be quite sure of the
bewitchingly winsome young woman
who called her father "colonel-dadGy.'
Her pose, if it were pose. was the at
titude Of the entirely unspoiled child of
nature and the wide horizons. When
he was with her she made him think
Of all the words expressive Of trans
parency and absolute and utter uncon-
cealment Yet there were moments
when he fanCied he could get passing
glimpses of a subtler personality at the

more or less, could make no difference.
But no sooner was the colOnelS gray
roadster headed for the bridge across
the Timanyoni than the exhilarating
reaction set in. In twinkling the
business cares, and the deeper worries
as well, fed away, and In their place
heart-hunger was looSed.
After dinner. meal at which he ate
little and was well content to satisfy
the hunger of his soul by the road Of
the eye, Smith went out to the pOrticO
TO smoke. The most gorgeous Of noun
tain sunsets was painting itself upon
the sky over the western Timanyonis,
but he had no eyes for natural
Grandeurs, and no ears for any sound
save one-the footstep he was listen
ing for. 1t came at length, and he
tried to look as tired as he had been
when the colonel made him close
his desk and leave the office; tried and
apparently succeeded.
"You poor, broken-down Samson
carrying all the braZen- gates of the
mOney-Philistines or your shoulders!
You had to come to us at last, didn't
you? Let me be your Delilah and fix
that chair so that 1t will be really COM
Portable" She said it only half mock
ingly, and he forgave the sarcasm
when she arranged some of the ham,
mock pillows in the easiest of the
porch chairs and made him bury him
self luxuriously In them.
Still holding the idea, brought over
from that afternoon of the name queS-
tiontng, that she had in some way dis
covered his true identity, Smith was
watching narrowly for danger-signals
when he thanked her and said:
"You say 1t just as it is. had to
come. But you could never be any
body's Delilah, could you? She was

He made the suggestion purposely,
but it was wholly ignored, and there
was no guile In the slate-gray eyes.

 Among the many new features of the motor kitchen are the following:
 Two twenty gallon soup and coffee boilers; four ten-gallon reserve hot food retainer vessels: two large ovens for roasting and baking purposes; pans for frying, and a complete set of cooks tools essential for work in the field
 In addition to the above. space is provided for. extra fuel and rations, sufficient for one complete food re- newal The cooking capacity of the motor kitchen is 250 meals at one time and it can be operated equally well on the march, when travelling ten to twenty miles an hour, as when it is at a standStill.
 Both in Chicago and Toledo, Capt. Buzzacott demonstrated the cooking and advantages of the affair by cook ing meals for troops stationed near those cities
 The mobile advantages of the motor kitchen are said to be far superior to horse or mule drawn rolling kitchens, inasmuch as during campaign. water, fuel and rations can be gathered by the kitchen itself while enroute. The mo- tor kitchen also can deliver the food hot. direct to the trenches. which is an invaluable feature. because it releases army trucks which were hitherto the only available vehicles for such duty.

CHALMERSCAR RECEIVES VERY
 SEVERE TESTS

Ending one of the most spectacular testing tours ever promoted in the United States. H. V. Baker Chalmers driver in the tire testing fleet, has re- turned to Los Angeles to make his permanent home, although a resident of Denver at the time the tour began in May. Baker tells an interesting story of the experiences encountered by the four cars that constituted the Pacific coast fleet, according to R. D. Roper, local Chalmers agent.
 'The Chalmers that I drove covered a total distance of about S950 miles, starting in May and continuing all summer, until we ended at Salt Lake" stated Baker Each car carried the equivalent in of three passehgers with a driver The summer was divided into three tours. The first one, after running about 1000 miles in and around Los Angeles, finally took us to the Im- peria valley where sand tests were made. Then we went to Yuma, Phoe- nix. Prescott. Ash Fork Grand Can yon. Flagstaff Needles and back to Los Angeles. This section of the trip was the severest test, so far as radia- tion was concerned.
 Our next trip was made to Yosemite
 
 higher the altitude we reached the better the Chalmers motor performed. It is certainly an excellent high alti- tude car. This I attribute to the lower compression. The third leg of the jour ney took us to San Francisco, Port land, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane across Idaho, into Montana through Yellow stone Park and back to Salt Lake, where we finished our testing tour.
 "The most difficult road we encoun- tered, so far as it's effect on tires was concerned was between Portland and Seattle. There the road is a sort of crushed rock. This takes the life out of tires quicker than anything I have ever seen. The dust is also terribly bad. At times we would move ahead slowly for whole day, scarcely seeing the road at any time.
 The car I drove was model Chalmers, brand new when I took it out of Greer Robbins company's stock. l am frank to state that I drove the car with a strong dislike for speedy motors. But after almost 10000 miles of steady, everyday, monotonous driv- ing, over every sort of road, up grades that looked insurmountable, meeting every sort of condition of eli mate, topography and other things that the tour was designed to meet and conquer, I am absolutely converted to the Chalmers motor I do not say that l am entirely free from my prejudice against high speed motor plants, but I do say that 1 am free from prejudice so far as the Chalmers motor is con- cerned. The car wasn't washed from the day l took it until we made Salt Lake City. Then after bath it surely did look in fine shape We kept no ac- curate test of mileage per gallon, but taking it on the average for four months, we would make minimum of 15 miles and a maximium of. IS miles per gallon. as nearly as I can roughly figure it out
 The car Rat stands up under such fierce test. without particle of motor trouble, from start to finish, is cer- tainly bear for performance. That's what the Chalmers did, and I am proud of the experience I had with it.

and contains much food in small volume.
 "A pound of cheese supplies more than twice as much energy as pound of fowl or round steak, and almost twice as much protein as the same amount of fowl or ham. Cheese. therefore, is usually a cheaper food than the meats.
 Cheese can also be combined in many palatable dishes. When grated it may be used in soups or with many vegetables Other foods in which cheese is used are macaroni and cheese, Welsh rareoit, tomato rarebit, baked rice and cheese, baked crackers and cheese, vegetables and cheese rolls, cheese omelet, oatmeal and cheese and cheese muSh.
 Recipes and further information are given in Farmers Bulletin 4S7 Cheese and It's Economical Uses in the Diet, which may be obtained free on appli- cation to the Department of Agricul- .ture, Washington, D. C."

it is indigestible and constipating. EX- tensive digesting experiments carried on by the Department of Agriculture have demonstrated that more than 95 per cent of the protein of cheese is digested and 90 per cent of it's energy is available Even when eaten in large quantities and for long periods no case of indigestion, constipation or other disturbances was observed in those who ate it. One man who ate cheese as the chief source of both protein and energy, eating an average of 9.27 ounces daily, with bread and fruit, for more than two years, did fair amount of muscular work and kept in good health.
 American cheddar cheese is a very satisfactory substitute for meat. It can be kept in storage for long time

ARMY KITCHEN |S
 CONSTRUCTED ON
 OVERLAND CHASSIS

A most unusual caravan started tfeking it's way from Toledo to Was, ington. D. C., last month. It consisted of an army on an Overland commercial chassis, two 1200-pound Overland de- livery wagons, with special army bodies of the prairie schooner type, and one Overland S5-4 five passenger touring car, according to information received by Manager H. H. Hotchkiss of the Overland Arizona company
 Capt Buzzacott has been in the closest possible touch with field cook ing methods in the United States for 35 years and he has devised this new field kitchen as an improvement over anything which has been in existence in the past. The object of the caravan was to submit the unique arrangement
