(To BE CoNTINUEDJ
LAW HAS PROVED BENEFICIAL
British Employers Of Labor Give Cor
dial Endorsement to the Daylight
Saving" Proposition.

Inquiries In the leading centers Of
industry indicate that the operation Of
the summertime act is. among other
results, having the effect Of increasing
she output in shipyards and engineer
ing works, says the London Times. On
the northeast coast some Of the yards
have been able to arrange additional
spells of daylight overtime, and in
other establishments there has been
an increase in output owing to the fact
that there are In the aggregate a large
number of extra hours when the work
can be carried on without the aid Of
artificial light and with a lessened
sense of fatigue.
If statistics can be kept which Will
enable comparisons to be instituted be-
tween the output of the present sum-
mer and the corresponding period Of
last year it is believed that the com
parison will be all to the advantage of
the present year.
Additional evidence Of the benefit Of
the act from the industrial standpoint
comes from the railways. 1t has been
stated In the official organ Of the Ma
tiOnal Union of Railwaymen that tho
alteration of the clock has been fol-
lowed by an Improvement in the work
ing of Iolg-distance night goods trains.
It has been found that the extra hour
of daylight has enabled the trains to
be made up and loaded In less time,
and there Is a general feeling In rail-
way circles that the summertime act
should come into permanent operation.
as II would enable the work of railway
goods yards 10 be conducted with
greater rapldity and safety.
A poiG. which seems to appeal to the
men who are on an eight-hour shift Is
that, whatever the turn Of duty to
which they are assigned, they either
begin or fnigh work In daylight. This
may seem to be d small and unimpOr-
tant matter, but the fact that 1t has
caused comment among a large body
Of workers reveals an unexpected d.
rection In which putting working hours
In advance Of solar time has proved
beneficial.

was out, and Sidney had put the dining
room In order. K. sat by the table and
watched her as she moved about the
room.
The past few weeks had been very
wonderful to him; to help her up and
down the stairs, TO read to her in the
evenings as she lay on the couch in the
sewing room; later. as she improved,
to bring small dainties home for her
tray, and. having stood over Katie
while she cooked them, to bear them in
triumph to that upper room-he had
not been so happy In years.
And now it was over. He drew a
long breath.
Il hope you don't feel as If you must
stay on" she said anxlously. aNot that

than that"

AS the band, with Lopez riding at

into the main road the messenger over

rushed up TO the leader.
"Rutledge and his men are going

mediately ordered his men TO dis
mount and they made for the bushes,
pulling their horses behind them, to
lie In wait for the little company OF
RINGERS. which at that moment was
just starting down the trail.
The Major headed the little column
and was followed by his men. Then

at Rutledge. But, the ranger was on
his guard. His powerful strength sue
ceeded in keeping the Mexiean's knife
a good distance from his breast. al
though the wiry devil made thrust
after thrust. Finally Rutledge with one
strong blow sent the knife of his op-
ponent flying to the dust, at the same
time almost taking the Mexican off
his feet.
Manuel was now at the mercy Of
the Captain. The latter walked over
TO where his adversary stood cringing
and trembling with fear. and was
about TO run his knife into him, when
spirit of fair play took possession
or him. He threw his knife away
and went after him with his fists.
During the encounter Rutledge
stumbled over stone and went tum-
bling TO the ground. The Mexican,
with a fiendish grin, fell on top OF
him and grabbed him by the throat.
With quick Jerk, Rutledge managed
to throw him of, and, locked together,
they both went rolling to the edge
Of the cliff. For a moment It looked
az If both would go tumbling into
the canyon below, but Manuel finally
managed to free himself and endeav-
ored to force Rutledge over the edge.
But, the Captain grabbed Manuel and
hung suspended If mId-air as he en-.

As she reached the spot. Rutledge

realizing this. fought on until he had
the Mexican at his mercy. and then.
picking him up he lifted him high
above his head and was about to
throw him over the cliff into space
when a shrill cry attracted his ar
tentlon.
''Bobl Bobi" She ran up TO him
and grabbing his arm pleaded for the
fellows life.
'He belongs down there with the
rest Of those yellow dogs" said Rut-
ledge. meaning Lopez and his band.
'But. you don't want his blood on
your hands. Bob" she begged. "If he
is what you say, he isn't worth It."
''well. he can thank you for saving
his life" remarked the captain as he
flung the fellow TO the ground.

were some big trees. Dismounting she
took the larlat from her saddle and
made one end fast around the trunk

horse and started after Liberty.
Finally the camp Of Cabrera came
into view on the side of Nostinos Hill.
Just as they reached the camp Pc

raise his gun, aim It at the girl, and
fire. She dropped the relns and fell
backward unconscious.
With one dash Pedro reached the
side OF the Mexican and grabbed him
around the throat and they both went
to the ground. but Pedro was on top.
