Paris. Jan. 6.-Since the government
announced it's decision to suppress
traffic in alcohol for THE remainder of
the war. a number of statisticiansS have
come forward With figures Showing
that the French people may save
5000 100000 francs yearly to help pay
off the interest on the war debt if the
losses now incurred from indulgence
in alcoholic beverages are completely
eliminated. The figures take into ac-
count not only the actual cost to TIE
consumer of alcoholic drinks, but .he
cost of crimes due to alcoholism. the
distribution of charities to victims Of
alcohol. and the loss Of salaries thru
alcoholic illness or idlepess.
French people drink altogether per
annum and per capita forty gallons Of
beer twenty-five gallons of wine. FIVE
gallons of cider. one gallon Of alcohol
pure or two gallons computed in al
,coholic drinks. three quarts of bitters
similar to absinthe and one quart Of
1iqueurs.

with branches Of cedar fenced him in.
Then he went back and took up the
trail on foot.
Without the horse he, made better
time. Once, through wide gateway
between great escarpments. he saw the
lower country beyond this, vast and
clear as it lay in his sight, was the
great river that made the Big Bend.
He rounded jutting corner, where
view had been shut off, and presently
came out upon the rim of high wall.
Beneath, like q green gulf seen
through blue haze. lay an amphitheater
walled in on the two sides he could
see. It lay perhaps thousand feet
below him; and, plain as all the other
features Of that wild environment
there shone out big red stone or
adobe cabin. white water shining
away between borders, and horses
and cattle dotting the levels. 1t was
peaceful, beautiful scene. Duane
could not help grinding his teeth at
the thought Of rustlers living in quiet
and ease. FIif

wall. and shadows were born In the!

began to want to get closer to thnt
cabin. Still he fingered. And sudden
~ his wide-roving eye caught sight Of
two horsemen riding up the valley.
They must 6ave entered at q point
below, round the huge abutment Of
rock, beyond Duane's range OF sight.
Their horses were tired and stopped
at the stream for q long drink.
Duane left his perch. took to the
steep trail, and descended as fast as
he could without making noise. It
did not take him long to reach the
valley floor. It was almostt level.
with deep grass, and here and sthere
clumps Of bushes. Twilight was al
ready thick down there Duane
marked the location Of the trail, and
then began to slip like = shadow
through the grass and from bush to
bush. He saw . bright light before he
made out the dark outline Of the
cabin. Then he heard voices, merry
whistle, a coarse song, and the clink
Of iron cooking utensils. He smelled

ARGENTINA TO TAX EXPORTS.
Measure Formulated to Raise Funds
to Build Roads and Buy Seeds.

lC,orrespondence Associated Press
Buenos Aires, Argentina, Dec. 81
A ) per cent ad Valorem tax on all pro-
duce exported from the Argentine is
proposed by the new radical govern
ment in one Of several important
measures which congress VIII CONSIDER
in the, extraordinary session Just con-
yened. The objects of the bill is TO oD-
tain money for road building and seed
purchasing in the interests of the ag-
riculturalists in. many parts of the
country. If passed, the law would be-
come effective Immediately, and It's
provisions terminate on March 81, 1918.
1t Is estimated that the tax by that
time ,cu!d have netted s50.000.000 pa
per.
"A colonization bill is another OF the
rev governments proposals. The at
tantion of congress is called to. the fact
that primitive and inadequate agrlcul-
tural methods are employed widely In
the Argentine, and it Is asked to ap-
prove OF the establishment of colonies
in various parts Of the country by the
sale Of government lands on easy terms
andtby the loan Of money to enable the
colonist to equip and run his farm
during the first season. The proposed
law Is modelled on one in force in New
Zealand.
A third measure proposed Is the au-
tl,orization OF a bond issue OF s1Oo,oO0-
900 paper, the proceeds of which would
be employed in exploiting the resources
Of the country. particularly by the es-
tablishment of an agriculturalists
hank and the development of nation
al mercantile marine: and the exploit
tation Of the petroleum wells at Como
doro Rivadavia.
The budget and a proposal for
loan OF s2500O0,OOO gold, in order to
cover various short time loans which
the Argentine, has contracted during
the last two years. conclude the gov
ernment's progrom, which is regarded
as particularly interesting since 1t is
the first time that the radical party
has had chance to come forward with
it's legislation. Even now the OPPOSE
ton parties really control the senate
ana the s:is:: .: les .s.:: :
radicals will find 1t necessary TO obtain
the support Of one Of the other par
ties. The socialists, nine in number
hold the balance OF power in the lower
house, and it Is said that the govern
ments export tax and colonization
bills, especially, are assured OF nrn'
support by the socialists.

The inquiry under the direction OF
Sherman l.. Whipple, the Boston attor-

OF going back to Bradford. Friction
between the two great lieutenants Of
Cheseldine Generally such matters
were settled with guns. Duane gath
cred encouragement even from disas-
ter. If Knell knew anything 1t was
that this stranger In Ord, this new
partner Of Fletcher's, was no less than
Buck Duane. Well, It was about time,
thought Duane, that he made use Of
his name If 1t were to help, him at all.
That name had been MacNelly's hope.
He had anchored all his scheme to
Duanc's fame. Duane was tempted to
ride Off after Fletcher and stay with
him. This, showever, would hardly be
fair to nm outlaw who had been fair to
him. Duane concluded to await devel-
opments, and when the gang rode in
to Ord, probably from their -various
hiding places, he would be there ready
to be denounced by Knell. Duane
could not see any other elimination Of
this series of events than a meeting
between Knell and himself. II that
terminated fatally for Knell there was
all, probability Of Duane's being in no
worse situation than he was now. If
Poggin took up the quarrel! Here
Duane accused himself again-tried in
vain to revolt from Judgment that he
was only reasoning out excuses to
meet these outlaws.
Meanwhile, instead of waiting, why
not hunt up Cheseldine in his noun
tain retreat? The thought no sooner
struck DuaHe than he was hurrying
for his horse.
In an hour he struck the slope Of
Mount Ord. and ms he climbed he got
among broken rocks and cliffs, and
was hard put to 1t to, find the trail.
He halted at little side-canyon with
grass and water, and here he made
camp. And on this night, lonely like
the ones he used to spend in the
Nueces gorge, and memorable Of them
because of likeness to that old hid
ing-place, he felt the pressing return
of old haunting things-the past so

Later, when Duane started up an
nouncing his intention to get his horse
and make for camp out in the brush.

transformation came over the outlaw.
He gulped; he Strengthened his face;
he controlled his agitation. But he;
could not send the healthy brown
back to his face. Duane, watching this
rude man, marveled at the change in
him, the sudden checking movement,
the proof Of wonderful fear and
loyalty. It all meant Cheseldine, .
master Of men! .5

The outlaw watched Duane 90 OF
after his horse, watched him as he re-
turned to the tavern, watched him
ride out in the darkness-an without
q word.
Duane LEFT the town, threaded Z

ana passed the night. His mind was
so full that he found sleep aloOf.
Luck at last was playing his game.
He sensed the drst slow heave Of .
mighty crisis. The end, always haunt
ing, had to be sternly blotted from
thought. It was the approach that
needed all his mind. Z.
Late In the morning he returned to
Ord. II Jim Fletcher tried to disguise
his surprise. the effort was failure.
Certainly he had not expected to see
Duane agnin. Duane allowed himself
a little freedom with Fletcher, an at
titude hitherto lacking.
That afternoon horseman rode in
from Bradford, an outlaw evidently
we'll known and liked by his fellows,
and Duane heard him say, before he
could possibly have been told the

Again inaction and suspense drag
ged at Duane's spirit.
But one day there were signs Of the
long quiet Of Ord being broken. A
messenger strange to Duane rode in
on a secret mission that had to do
with Fletcher. Duane was present IL,
the tavern when the fellow arrived
saw the few words whispered, but did
not hear them. Fletcher turned white
with anger or fear, perhaps both. and
he cursed like mailman. The mes
.senger rode away on to the west.
This west mystiied and fascinated
Duane as much as the south beyond
Mount Ord. After the messenger left
Fletcher grew silent and surly. 1t
became clear now that the other out
laws Of the camp feared him. kept
out Of his way. Duane let him alone,
vet closely watched him.
Perhaps an hour after the messen-
ger had left, not longer, Fletcher man
ifestly arrived at some decision. and
he called for his horse Then he
went to his shack and returned. To
Duane the outlaw looked in shape both
to ride and to fight. He gave orders
for the men in camp to keep close
until he returned. Then he mounted.
"Come here. Dodge he called.
Duane went up and laid hand on
the pommel Of the saddle. Fletcher
walked his horse, with Duane beside
him, till they reached the log bridge,
when he halted.

said. "An' It pears I'm the cause OF
