Peat Boys of ireland.

Ireland possesses 25,000,000 acres Of
peat bog-one-seventh tho total area
of the island. Much of this peat Is
concentrated in the center of the coun-
try in the Bog Of Allen, but there are
also large tracts In other localities,
To utilize this peat not merely for
domestic use, but also for power pur-
poses, is a problem which has exer-
cised the minds Of prominent Irishmen
for many years, aud the department
Of scientific and industrial research
appointed Il committee with Sir John
Gritfiths of Dublin as chairman TO in
vestigate the whole question. Some
successful attempts have already been
made in Ireland to deal with the sub
stance on a commercial basis, but any
efforts to utilize the deposits must al
ways have regard to three circum-
stances-that peat contains and re-
tains large amount Of water; that,
compared with other fuels, 1t has n
low calorific value, and that II is ex-
tremely bulky, involving high cost
Of carriage.

his fingers unclenched, a great sigh
whistled from his lungs. Before him
booted, spurred, and fully dressed, lay
the dead body Of Ed Austin.
Dave was still staring at the master
of Las Palmas when the prosecuting
attorney spoke to him.
"God This is terrible, isn't itf" he
said. "He must have died instantly"
"Who-did iii"
ave don't know yet. Benito found
him and brought him in. He hasn't
been dead an hour"
Law ran his eyes over the room, and
then asked, sharply, where is Mrs.
Austin?"
He was answered by Benito Con
zales, who had edged closer. "She's
not here, senior"
"Have you notified herT
Benito shrugged. There has been
no time, it all happened so quickly"
Someone interrupted, and Dave saw
that it was the local sheriff-evidently
1t was he who had waved from the
speeding machine a few moments be-
fore.
I'm glad you're here, Dave, for you
can give ME a hand. I'm going to round
up these Mexicans right away and find
out what they know. Whoever did it
hasn't gone far; so you act as my
deputy and see what you can learn"
When Dave had gained better con-
troll Of himself he took Benito outdoors
and demanded full details of the trag-
edy. With many lamentations and in
coherencies the range boss told what
he knew.
Ed had met his death within half
mile Of Las Palmas as he rode home
for dinner. Benito, himself on his way
to the house, had found the body, still
warm, near the edge of the pecan
grove. He had retained enough sense
to telephone at once to JonesvilIe. and

patches of bare ground; insects sang
noisily from every side; far ahead the
road ran a wavering course through a
deceitful mirage of ripping ponds. II
was all familiar, pleasant; 1t was
home. With every mile he covered his
strength and courage increased.
Such changes had come into his life
since his last visit to Las Palmas that
it gave him a feeling Of unreality to
discover no alteration in the ranch
He had somehow felt that the build
ings would look older, that the trees
would have grown taller, and so when
he finally came in sight of his desti'
nation he refined in to look.
Behind him he heard the hum OF an
approaching motor, and he turned to
behold Car racing along the road he
had just Travelled. The machine was
running fast, as a long streamer OF
choking dust gave evidence, and Dave
soon recognized 1t as belonging to
Jonesville's prosecuting attorney. AS
it tore past him its owner shouted
something, but the words were lost. In
the automobile with the driver were
several passengers, and one of these
likewise called to Dave and seemed tC
motion him to follow. When the ma
chine slowed down a half-mile ahead
and veered abruptly into the Las Pal.
mas gateway, Dave lifted Montrosa to
a run, wondering what pressing neces,
sity could have induced the prosecute
ing attorney to risk such a reckless
burst of speed.
Dave told himself that he was I'm.
duly apprehensive; that Strange's
warnings had worked upon his nerves
Nevertheless, he continued to ride SC
hard that almost before the dust had
settled he, too, turned into the shade
Of the palms.
Yes, there was excitement here
something was evidently very much
amiss, judging from the groups of
ranch-hands assembled upon the porch
They were clustered about the doors
and windows, peering in. Briefly they
turned their faces toward Law; then
they crowded closer, and he perceived
that they were not talking. Some of
them had removed their hats and held
them in their hands.
Dawes knees shook under him as he
dismounted; for one sick, giddy instant
the scene swan before his eyes; then
he ran toward the house and up the
steps. He tried to frame a question,
but his lips were stiff with fright.
Needless of those in his path, he forced
his way into the house, then down the
hall toward an open door, through
which he saw room full of people.
From somewhere came the shrill vail
Ing of woman; the house was full of
hushed voices and whisperings. Dave
had but one thought. From the depths
of his being a voice called Alaire's
name until his brain rang with it.
A bed was in the room, and around
it was gathered group Of white-faced
people. With rough hands Law cleared
way for himself, and then stopped,
frozen in his tracks. His arms relaxed,

HOUSE OF WINDSOR

King George has changed the name
of Great Britain's royal house from
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to Windsor
This will not eliminate any Norman
blood from the veins of England's
royal family, but it may prove a well
come concession to the Britishers
who have been agitating against
"hyphenated royalty and in favor OF
marriages of their kings within Brit
aims own limits. The House OF
Windsor will be truly English in
name at least, for Windsor has been
a famed seat of English kings since
the days of William the Conqueror,
and even before the Norman, conquest
England's monarchs had residence
at Old Windsor two miles away. In
deed, the site of the present Windsor
Castle, which was selected by EG'
ward III, is said to be the spot where
on King Arthur chose, to sit surround,
ed by his knights of the Round Table
in a far and time-dimmed age.
