HIGH COST OF LIVING. - With
the Oncoming of the winter the high
cost of living becomes more acute
because it tells very much on the
toilers' pocketbooks.
The poor man feels them both, the
grip of Jack Frost, who threatens to
bring chill and discomfort to his
dwelling, and the grip of the coal
barons. While the temperature is
going down, the prices on life ne
cessities are going up daily. They
always climb upward, hitting the
highest marks on record.
If the terrible carnage in Europe
is to blame for the rise in life COM
modities (as some interests assure
us that this is the easel, then why
not put an embargo on foodstuffs to
the beIligerents. The burden of the
high cost of living attributed to the
war prices falls most heavily on the
lot of the American workingman.
The sO-called prosperity that we
have experienced in this country
since the war began brought i'm
mense profits to the millionaire mu-
milton makers, the foodstuffs export
eTs, etc. The salaries of the work.
ers have advanced very little, any
how not in comparison to the adj
vancing of the food prices. These
are all wen-known facts and every
fair-minded person should ponder on
them.

TRUE FUNCTION OF GOVERN
MENT.-The true function Of gov
eminent is to establish equal free
dom for all. Extensive voluntary CO.
operation by individuals cannot do
this because such an agreement
among enough individuals to estab-
fish a just and equitable land tenure
is impossible.
A single kicker against voluntary
agreement destroys the machine. A
refusal by one to accept the true
system of land tenure necessitates
the use of force of some kind to COM
pei him to abide by the agreement
and submit in that respect to the will
of the majority. But this does not
affect his equal freedom. He but
submits to the law of nature which
is equality in association.
To find the true function we must
seek the things that demand the CO.
operation of the whole. The primary
things are land tenure highways, pO-
lice for the maintenance of order,
and such other things as experience
shows are necessary to prevent the
invasion of our equal rights.
Such freedom as think Mr.. Vim
cent has in mind would make any
sort of civilization impossible. Mo-
nopoly would arise whenever any
voluntary consent is given for any
one of the free to take possession Of

CHAPTER XIV.
Strategy.

One week went to repairs. To q
man Of action such a week is longer
than ten years of service. But chained
to bed in the Sleepy Cat hospital, De
Spain had no escape from one week Of
thinking, and for that week he thought
about Nan Morgan. And the impulse
that moved him the first moment he
could get out of bed and into a saddle
was to spur his way hard and fast
to her; to make her, against a score
Of burly cousins, his own; and never
to release her from his sudden arms
again.
With De Spain to think was to do;
at least to do something, but not with
out further careful thinking, and not
without anticipating every chance of
failure. And his manner was to cast
up all difficulties and obstacles in a
situation, brush them aside, and have
his will if the heavens fell; and he
now set himself, while doing his rou-
tine work every day, to do one par
ticular thing-to see, talk to, plead
with, struggle with the woman, or girl,
rather-child, even, to his thoughts, so
fragile she was-this girl who had
given him back his life against her
own marauding relatives.
His friends saw that something was
absorbing him in an unusual, even an
extraordinary way, yet none could ar
rive at certain conclusion as to what
it was. The one man in the country
who could have surmised the situa-
ton between the two-the barn boss,
McAlpin-if he entertained suspicious,
was far too pawky to share them with
anyone.
When two weeks had passed without
De SPANS having seen Nan or having
heard Of her being seen, the cOnclu-
sion urged itself on him that she was
either Ill or in trouble-perhaps In
trouble for helping him; a moment

the precipice when the narrowing
ledge left him only inches under foot
clinging with torn hands to every ia
voring crevice, and pausing when the
peril was extreme for fresh strength,
De Spain dragged his injured foot
across the sheer face of Ell Captain in
the last shadows of the days failing
light.
Spent by his effort, De Spain reached
the rendezvous Nan had indicated, as
nearly as the stars would tell him, by
ten O'Clock. 1t was only after long
and doubtful hour that he heard the
muffled footballs of horse. He stood
concealed among the smaller trees IN
til he could distinguish the outlines of
the animal, and his eye caught the fig
ure of the rider.
De Spain stepped out OF the trees,
and, moving toward Nan, caught her
hand and helped her to the ground.
She enjoined silence, and led the
horse into the little grove. Stopping
well within it, she stopped and be-
gan rearranging the mufflers on the
hOofs.
''Im afraid I'm too late" she said.
GLOW long have you been here" She
faced De Spain with one hand on the
pony's shoulder.
did you have any falls"
''You see I'm here You! How
could you get here at all with horseT'
"They are hiding on both trails out
side watching for you-and the moon
will be up" She seemed very anxious.
De Spain made light of her fears. "I'll
get past them-Ive got to, Nan. Don't
give it a thought"
II don't know what you'll think of
me-" He heard the troubled note
in her voice.

She began to unbutton her jacket.

"Where did you get it, Nan?" he whis-

"Where you left It,"
"How?" She was silent. "When?'
Tonight"
"Have you been to Calabasas and
back tonight?"
Everybody but Sassoon is in the
chase" she replied uneasily-as if not
knowing what to say, or how to say it.

traps everywhere. l didn't know what

shaking smile, "you turned some trick
on that Calabasas crew-some fight"
Bull chuckled.
Bull, is old Duke Morgan a Repub-
lican?
Bull looked surprised at the turn of
De SPANS question, but answered in
good faith: 'Duke votes most any
ticket that's again the railroad"
"How about picking a couple of
good barnmen over in the gap, Bull?"
"What kind of job y got?"
"See McAlpin the next time you're
over at Calabasas. How about that
girl that lives with Duke?"

"On'y sickness I knowed lately is
what you're responsible for y'self," re-
torted Bull with grin. "Pity y left
any chips at all from that Calabasas
job, eh?"
"See McAlpin, Bull, next time you're

and handed a bill to Page. go get

"Take it from old Bull Page, he's

''But remember this-you don't know
me. If anybody knows you for friend
Of mine, you are no good to me. See"
Bull was beyond expressing his COM
prehension in words alone. He winked,
nodded, and screwed his face into
thousand wrinkles. De Spain, wheel
ing, rode away, the old man blinking
first after him, and then at the money
in his hand. He didn't profess to I'M
derstanc everything in the high coun-
try, but he could still distinguish the
principal figures at the end of bank
note. When he tramped to Calabasas
the next day to interview McAlpin he
received more advice, with strong
burr, about keeping his own counsel,
and little expense money to run him
until an opening presented itself on
the pay roll.

cartridges around him.

He had drawn his revolver from his
