The county physician of another

Gwyn lost no time. Casey under

his part while Gwyn and Nan went
to town. Gwyn ran to the engine,
followed by Nan, threw open the
throttle and sped along the rails in
the direction of the town of Lost
Mine. There was nothing to hinder
them until they reached the bridge
over the river. This they saw to
their horror. as they rounded curve

In this family were young children,
and although the man was as care
full as possible. it was almost inev-
table that the children should be-

Most cases of tuberculosis are due
to infection in childhood. The doc

As Nan. in her engine. approach
cd the chasm bridge. she noticed an
automobile that was standing on q
road near the trestle. 1t was Caus-
ley's car She guessed in moment
that Rawls and his men had headed
her off and were about to- attack
her. She did not know why; er-
haps, she thought, for the money,
she had with her, perhaps to capture
her and use her as sort OF modern
hostage against Gwyn. A glance at
the car and she threw the throttle
wide. The engine dashed by the cut
upon the bridge, just as Rawls'
Drant, Causley and the others who
had left Browns in the sheriff's car
emerged from the bushes firing a
fusillade of shots which they intend
ed would stop Mans flight. The
man in the engine with her opened
the coal box to speed the flames as
they rode over the river and almost
lost all the fire when many OF the
burning FINDERS fell to 1.-THE bridge.
AS the engine swept along toward
the mine, Nan looked back and
could see the bridge over the river
beginning to flame. The cinders
had set fire to the dry logs that
served as ties.
When Mans engine drew up be-
fore the main shaft of the mine, she
saw Gwyn and Casey talking excit-
edly before the superintepdents Of

Causley, whose main object in hold
ing the position was to try to as
sure himself of reelection at every
next election.
In sudden spasm of duty, which
struck him but infrequently, Causley
had threatened Won Bleck and his
band. but when the agent of the
Central Powers gave him to under
stand that interference would result
sadly for him both hysically and po-
litically, he had seen things In a
different light.
Everything is just ripe for our
next move-and it'll be our biggest
move, too" said Won Bleck. 1--WE
have to act quickly and sensibly.
The main thing is to get the deeds.
I'm pretty sure One Lung can take
care of that; he might even have
them already. Then an attack on
the mine. Well capture that, and
with the deeds and Sheriff Causley's
legal influence, we can hold it-and
l can go back to New York and take
things easily. You boys" he spoke
to the others about the table, will
get your little pieces and they'll be
enough to keep you from worrying
for some time to come. Now go to
it,"
Wait here while boys" Rawls
addressed the crowd of men in the
room. Wen be back to get you
soon. Be shining up your guns
meanwhile. Then he, accomanied
by Drant, Causley and few of the
others left the room and piled into
the sheriff's automobile which was
standing by the door.
Just as the auto filled with men
shot away from the curb to go down
the road, another car swung around
the corner ahead. In it were two oc.
cuants, man and woman-Nar
and the mine employee who had
come with her. She caught fleet.
ing glance of the passing car and
recognized the outlaws in it.
1t was very evident that the un'
eXected resence of Rawls and the
other of Won Blocks men in Lost
Mine alarmed Nan. She speeded W
her motor, swung in by the bank
and came out again almost immedi
ately with the money for the pay
roll. In another moment she wa!

FAIR PROFIT ONLY
ASKED OF DEALERS

Under the new licensing system of
the Food Administration, speculation
in food stuffs and profiteering by
wholesalers will be made practically
impossible. Each wholesaler or job
ber must operate under federal lie
ense, and the number of this license
must be stamped on every order, con-
tract and other paper concerning the
purchase or sale Of foodstuffs. Cou-
pied with this is federal inventory
system, under which frequent reports
of stock on hand must be made, and
any wholesaler or jobber failing to
fully comply with the requirements is
subject to fine of IS, 900 or two years
Imprisonment.
Only a fair profit above the cost
price will be allowed wholesalers,
who are also forbidden to cell to any
retailer who takes more than fair
margin of profit.
Through this system, any congign-
ment of foodstuffs may be readily
traced to the source of production.
Wholesaler and retailer will auto
matically check each other, and profits
may be taken only twice between the
consumer and the producer, these be-
ing allowed to the wholesaler and re-
taller. who are each limited to fair
margin, the same to be determined
according to changing conditions. by
federal authorities.
Licenses are now being issued, and
the effects of the new system will be
evident in the very near future.

Money Without Interest

wires his Portland Office as follows:
Carrying arrangements fixed so set
tlement or advance can be made to
farmers without interest" The re-
cent embargo on wheat shipments to
southern Pacific waters terminals
practically stopped grain movements,
prevented farmers from realizing on
their crop and worked great hardship
on some. Although details are lack
ing, it is believed Houser's arrange
ments means the government will buy
wheat outright at shipping points or
advance money on it, if the farmers
desire.
