started until the eastern sky lightened
before the retreatfng storm, and with
the first glimmer of daylight the two
were at the beginning of the narrow
foothold which lay for half a mile be-
tween them and safety.
The face Of Ell Captain presents,
midway, a sharp convex. Just where
it is thrown forward in this keen
angle. the trail runs out almost to a
knife-edge, and the mountain Is so
nearly vertical that it appears to
Overhang the floor of the valley.
They made half the stretch of this
angle with hardly a misstep, but the
advance for a part of the way was
a climb, and De Spain, turning once
to speak to Nan, asked her for her
rife, that he might carry it with his
own. What their story might Iavo
been had she given it to Linn, mono
can tell. But Nan, holding back, re-
fused to let him relieve her. The
dreaded angle which had haunted De
Spain all night was safely turned on
hands and knees, and, as they round
ed it toward the east, clouds scudding
over the open desert broke and shot
the light Of dawn against the beetling
arete.
DE Spain turned in some relief to
point to the coming day. AS he did
so a gust of wind, sweeping against
the sheer wall, tipped him sidewise,
and he threw himself on his knees to
avoid the dizzy edge. His rife which
lay under his hand on the rock,
slipped from reach. In the next in
slant he heard it bouncing from rock
to rock, five hundred feet below.
Greatly annoyed and Inundated, he
regained his feet and spoke with
laugh to reassure Nan. Just as she
answered not to worry, a little sing
ing scream struck their ears; some
thing splashed suddenly close at hand
against the rock wall; chips scattered
between them. From below, the
sound Of rifle report cracked against
the face of the cliff. They were so
startled, so completely amazed, that
they stood motionless.
De Spain looked down and over the
uneven floor Of the gap. The ranch
houses, spread like toys in the long
perspective, lay peacefully revealed in
the gray Of the morning. He could
discover no sign of life around any Of
the houses. But in another moment
the little singing scream came again,
the blow Of the heavy slug against the
splintering rock was repeated, the dis
tant report of the rife followed
Under fire." muttered De Spain.
He looked at Nan. WED better keep
moving" he said Come! whoever is
shooting can follow US hundred
yards either way" In front of De
Spain a fourth bullet struck the rock.

THE MOON IN HIDING

There was a total eclipse of the
moon at II O'Clock the night of Janu,
ary 7th caused by the earth passing
directly between the sun and the moon.
The explanation is simple enough. The
moon is opaque and does not give off
any light itself, but shines by reflect.
ing the light of the sun the same as the
earth does, so of course, when the
moon is shut off from the light of the
sun it is dark.
Turning the matter of eclipse around
another way, suppose the moon to be
inhabited, what was their condition
relative to the sun on the 7th? Why,
the sun was in total eclips to them, was
it not, by reason of the earth passing
between and shutting off its light?
And so, while we will say that the
man in the moon is in the dark, the
man in the moon may be saying the
same thing Of us at the same time.

night and was we'll worth while remain.

wANTED-PRODUCERS

We have become so accustomed to
the cry that the prevailing high prices
of living are the result of our increased
exports of food stuffs that it comes
somewhat of shock to learn from
official figures that during the past
year our exports of food supplies were
in reality something like $100,0OO,0Oo
less than the previous year And it is
stated on the same authority that new
er before has the visible food supply
been so low.
The food spectators have been vel
ling that Europe was making such a
tremendous demand for our food sup
plies that the enormous shipments in
themselves were the cause Of sky high
prices. That, too, appears to be i
mixture of financial wind and hot air.
Congress is tinvestigating'' the
price boosting combines. But did you
ever hear of the politicians of either
party doing anything more than to
investigate Did you ever hear of
a conviction? More wind-political
wind.
There are two distinct causes for the
prevailing high prices. We lack pro-
ducers, and we are cursed with a set
of food spectators who would starve a
baby to death for penny.

with the demand, because our farmers
are leaving their acres and turning
their faces toward the allurement of
the town and city. And there are none
to take their places on the farm. AS
Mr.. Cleveland so tersely put it, "this

Food spectators know this and are
buying and boarding the supply and
doling it out in driblets at their own
prices.

Wholesale robbery? Yes!

We will have ample supplies at reason.

And in the meantime congress will
keep right on investigating and

it has always done and always will do,

"Old jimmy and cold Toby IN,
dians of the Yukon and vicious enough
to have distinction in any company vf
renegades, have accounted for many of
these missing adventurers.
They were wholesale murderers, these
two squat, evil natives of Koyokuk and
Nulato. They killed often for a pack
of tea or sack of flour.
Their way to death was to wait, con

down which many men have come seek

yards. Their hutches were always
filled with plunder and flour and
bacon.
That the Yukon did not swallow
more of "Old Jimmy's' and "Old

of deaf and dumb Indian woman who
had once blundered upon the two muir
derers red handed. Held under duress,
her lips sealed by threats of death, the

IN PRAISE OF THE ONION

Why is it that so beautiful and deli.
cious vegetable as an onion causes
such horror among humankind when
it has once been consumed?
Why is it that ones wife shud aers
when she sees her husband gnawing at
the juicy interior of a big Bermuda,
when the scientific chaps so strongly
recommend the onion. as most health
full and proper form of grub?
Why-oh, why-does an onion taste
SO much different in the morning?
Nobody knows.
There are few people who abso-
lutely detest the mere idea of an onion,
but the antagonistc attitude is gener.
ally precautionary measure.
Many people would like to eat onions,
if they dared, and only refrain from
doing so when under heavy pressure.
They are told that the odor of mild
and compan'onable onion upon one g
breath stamps him as one of the rabble.
If he reels with the perfume of d
l5-cent cigar it is o. X. Likewise it
is all right if he has been revelling in
some of the more deadly varieties of
cheese, but as for the onion-never!
Onions are mighty handy vegetables
in the kitchen of the elite, and are used
to flavor most salads and dressings
and things, where they are duly appre-
GATED, but, like the common working
man, while useful about the house, they
must net be brought into the drawing
room unless in disguise.
The outrage against the onion
spr.ng, Bermuda and Spanish-when
properly studied, Is likely to make a
socialist of almost anyone.
