LONDON. June O.
Field Marshal Halg switched his attacks
from Belgium to the Arras front last night,
gaining more than half mile Of ground.
This new success for British arms was
announced by the War Ofilce today
The assault was made south Of tho
Souchez River over front Of more than
two miles.
At a number of places along this wide
fighting line the British smashed their way
into German trenches, inflicting heavy losses.
This gain for the British Is putting the

Lens easier for the British.
In the meantime the ground gained in

Yves to north Of Ypres and the Commines

broke down at midnight along the whole
line.
''The fighting was particularly fierce east
OF Messlnes and also in the neighborhood
OF Kleinzlllebeki," Haig continued I'VE re.
tain all ground gained and the enemy's
losses were heavy.
''From south Of Lens and La Bassee

But with the Messines- ytschaete ridge
now held by the British-the ''lmpregnable

that from now on Germany must keep an

RUN AUTOS WITH COAL GAS
London Motorists Find 1t Cheaper
Than Gasoline at Present High
Price of Latter.

Great interest has been aroused by
the reference made in the London
Telegraph recently to the economic ad-
vantags of the utilization of coal gas
as a substitute for petrol (gaSOline),
says that newspaper. 1t has been es-
tablished by actual practice that 25O
cubic feet Of coal gas-the ordinary
gas that is used for household illumina-
ton purpOses-equalsO one gallon of Pc
troll when applied to the work of driv-
ing motor vehicle. If gas costs Y
cents 1000 cubic feet it is equivalent
to petrol at 1S cents a gallon, and at
90 cents 1000 cubic feet is equivalent
to its competitor at "a cents a gallon,
AS petrol cannot be bought today
for commercial purposes at under 48
to So cents a gallon, 1t will be seen
how great is the economy effected. SO
far as the alterations rendered neceS-
sary to the engine of a motor vehicle
are concerned, the only additional ex-
penditure is about $500, and the gas
bag container for the storing of the
vapOr costs S75. Thus, for the eX-
pendtiure of $3.50, an ordinary petrol
using motor vehicle Of any description
can be converted into a gas driven one,
and the driving expenses reduced enor-
mOuSly.

CHAPTER v.
Heels for It.


With q sudden, low command to SaS-
soon to check his horse, De Spain
pressed the muzzle Of his gun to his
prisoners side. you've got one chance
yet, Shike, to ride out of here alive"
he said composedly. "You know am

My name is French belong in Will
liams cache. rode in last night from
Thief river, and you are riding out
with me to start me on to the Sleepy
Cat trail. If you can remember that
much"
De Spain stopped halfway through
his sentence. The figure revealed in
the half-light puzzled him at first. Then
it confused and startled him. He saw
it was not man at all, but woman
and woman than whom he would
rather have seen six men. It was Nan
Morgan.
With her head never more decisively
set under her mannish hat, her waist
never more attractively outlined in
slenderness, she silently faced De
Spain in the morning gray. His face
reflected his chagrined perplexity. He
could already see Mans eyes. They
were bent keenly first on him, then on
his companion, and again on him. De
Spain kept his face down as much as
he dared, and his hat had been pulled
well over it from the beginning.
They were now almost abreast. The
very instructive knowledge that her
eyes were bent on his made him steal
glance at her in spite of himself. The
next instant he was shamefacedly
touching his hat. Though nothing
was lost on her, Nan professed not to
see the greeting. When she spoke her
tone was dry with suspicion.
"Wait a moment, Sassoon. Where
are you going" she demanded. Sas-
soon hitched with one hand at his
trousers band. He inclined his head
sulkily toward his companion. "Start-
ing a man on the trail for Sleepy Cat"
"Stop," she exclaimed sharply, for
De Spain, pushing his own horse ahead,
had managed without being observed,
to kick Sassoon's horse in the flank,
and the two were passing. Sassoon at

mo matter" declared Lefever.
''This is little fast for fat man, any
way" He was not averse, either, to
the prospect of a long-range exchange
with the fighting mountaineers. All
drew rein little. Suppose 1 cover
the rear till we see what this is," sug-
gested Lefever, limbering up as the
other two looked back. "Push ahead
with Sassoon. These fellows won't fol-
low far"
Don't be sure about that" muttered
Scott. "Duke and Gale have got the
best horses in the mountains, and
they'd rather fight than eat. There
they come now."
Dashing across a plain they them
selves had just crossed, they could see
three horsemen in hot chase. The pur-
sued men rode carefully, and scanning
the ground everywhere ahead, felt as

down the gap closely ahead Of De
Spain and neither to speak nor turn
his head no matter what happened
right or left.
In the growing light the two men
trOtted smartly a mile down the trail
without encountering a sign of life.
When they approached the Morgan
ranch-house De Spain rode close to
his prisoner, told him what would
happen If he made a noise, and even
held him back in his pace as they
trotted together past the gap strong
hold. When they left the house behind
and the turn in the road put them out
of range of it's windows, he closed up
the distance between himself and Sas-
soon, riding close in to his side, and
looked back for fraction Of second.
When he looked ahead again he saw
confronting him, not a hundred yards
away, mOtionless horseman.

CHAPTER vi.
Maintaining a Reputation.


The abduction of SassOOn, which sig.
nalized De Spain's entry into the stage
line management created a sensation
akin to the exploding of bomb under
the range. The whole mountain cOun-
try, which concentrates, sensibly, on
but one topic at a time, talked for a
week of nothing else.
Experienced men in the high country
men of that class who, wherever
found, are old in the ways of the world,
and not promptly moved by new or
youthful Observation-Disclosures the in
cident after hearing the details, with
the comment or the conclusion that
there would hardly be for De Spain
more than one additional chapter to
the story, and that this would be a
short one. The most active Morgans-
Gale, Duke and the easy-going Satter-
lee-were indeed wrought to the keen
est pitch of revengeful anger. 1t WAS
an overwhelming insolent INVASION
and worst of all, successful invasion,
by one who had nothing but cool impu-
dence, not even budding reputation
to justify his assault on the lifelong
prestige of the gap clan.
De Spain himself, somewhat sur
prised at the storm he had kicked up,
needed the counsel of Scott, and while
the acute stage of the resentment
ragged along the trail he ran down for
few days to Medicine Bend to buy
horses. Both Gale and Duke Morgan
proclaimed, in certain public places in
Sleepy Cat, their intention of shooting
De Spain on sight; and as a climax to
all the excitement of the week follow
ing his capture, the slippery Sassoon
broke Jail and, after a brief interval,
appeared at large in Calabasas.
This feat of the Morgan satellite
made loud laugh at De Spain's ex-
pense. 1t mitigated somewhat the hui
initiation of SassOon's friends, but it
in no wise diminished their expressed
resolve to punish De Spain's invasion.
Lefever, who as the mixer among the
stage men, kept close to the drift Of
public sentiment, decided after De
SPANS return to Sleepy Cat that the
stage-line authorities had gained moth
ing by SaSsoon's capture.
"We ought to have thought of it be-
fore, Henry" he said frankly one night
in Jeffries office, "but we didn't think"
Meaning just what, John?" de-
manded De Spain without real inter-
est.
The Benson signal., 1917-07-28

the resolute summons stopped. De
Spain could do no less; both men,
halting, faced their suspicious inquisi-
tor. She scrutinized De Spain keenly.
"What is this man doing in the gap?'
"He came up from Thief river last
night" answered Sassoon monoton-
Ously.
what is he doing here with you?"
persisted Nan.
Hes a cousin of John Rebstock's
from Williams Cache" continued Sas-
soon. The yarn would have sounded
decently we'll in the circumstances for
which it was intended, but in the
searching gaze of the eyes now con-
fronting and clearly recognizing him,
it sounded so grotesque that De Spain
would fully as lief have been sitting
between his horses legs as astride his
back.
'That's not true Sassoou," said bis
