IT was after the car had shot into
the first of the three bridge spans
that the pursuers pulled up and
opened fire. Starbuck bent lower over
his wheel, and Smith clutched for
handhOlds. Far up the track on the
north side of the river a headlight
flashed in the darkness, and the
hoarse blast of a locomotive, whistling
for the bridge, echoed and re-echoed
among the hills.
Starbuck drove for his life. With
the bridge fairly crossed, he found
himself on a high embankment; and
the Oncoming train was now less than
half q mile away. Somewhere be-
yOnd the bridge approach there was a
road; so much Starbuck could recall.
If they could reach its crossing before
the collision should come
They did reach it, by what seemed
to Smith margin of no more than the
length of the heavy freight train
which went jangling past them a scant
second or so after the car had been
wrenched aside into the obscure mesa
road. They had gone a mile or more
on the reverse leg of the long down
river detour before Starbuck c. the
speed and turned the wheel over to
his seat-mate.

malzings," he said, dry-lipped, feeling

Rich Ore in Andorra RepubIic,

Iron and other ores are known to
exist in large quantities in the repub-
lie of Andorra, where Fiske Warren
is establishing one of his single tax
colonies, but the mineral wealth is
yet entirely uneXploited. The ques-
tion of mining concessions is COM
paratively simple and some develop
ment is looked for. Under the pro-
visions of a law enacted two years
ago, the general council of Andorra
names a representative for explora-
ton and negotiations who is author
ized to transfer mining interests to
an operating company. There is a
good municipal road through the Ba-
Ira valley and abundant opportuni-
ties for the development of hydro
electric power. AS the ores show be-
tween "a and 79 per cent of iron and
veins have been found yielding hema-
lite, limonite, manganese and lead, it
is expected that the mining interests
of the republic will soon be improved

Horse Appreciated 1t.

During the examinations for the new
officers training camp in New York
one enthusiastic young applicant was
informed that he was too light to be
accepted, his height being but little
less than six feet and his weight 120
pounds.
But" he said. my health is per-
feet and my father fought in the Span
ish-American war and only weighed
Ill pounds. Is this to be fat army?"
He was informed that there were
certain requirements of weight and
that they must be observed in all
cases.
"Well," said the young man, ''my
father was an orderly on the staff of
General Shafer in Cuba and he used
to ride at General Shafer's side every
day. He's told me himself that when
he and the general used to come in
from a ride together. the two horses
would whisper together and my ia
Tiers horse would turn around to him
and try to kiss him."

DEMAND FOR CEDAR
Tennessee Farmers Get Good
Money for Old Fences.
In Many Gases Agents Are Exchanging
the Long-Used Rails for Modern
Woven Wire-Wood Needed
for Lead Pencils.

Poor Aladdin was decidedly peeved
when his well-meaning mother ex-
changed an old brass lamp she found
kicking about the house for brand
new shiny one. Naturally, since the
old lamp was worth many times as
much as the new one, as everyone who
has read of Aladdin's Lamp knows.
In TenneSsee-and in many other
localities now-they are exchanging
brand new shiny wire fences for dis
reputable old rail, zig-zag, Virginia,
snake and stake-and-rider fences once
laboriously split and put up by honest
sons of toll generations ago. And the
best part of it is that no one is
peeved. The people who give away
the brand new and expensive woven
wire fences are delighted to take the
old rail fences in exchange and the
farmers are proud and happy to get
the wire fences, so everyone is glad.
The answer is Lead pencils"
More than two years ago we had
stripped our cedar lands of practically
all the old growth, and since then of
all the rest of the cedars except the
mere saplings. Then the pencil manu-
facturers started to bring cedar from
abroad and then the war came along
the crowned heads of Europe should
worry about lead pencil shortage in
! America-and it began to look as
though lead pencils would become as
| costly as eggs or coal or other COM
mOdities until certain agents discov-
cred that throughout many sections of
the country there were miles and miles
| of the very best sort of cedar, thor
oughly dried and seasoned, serving as
fences along highways and between
fields and pastures.
Some of the old rails were sent to
pencil manufacturing concern. The
wood was cut up into strips and proved
to be the very best pencil cedar the
manufacturers had been able to get
hold of for years. There was no sea-
sOning to dot was in prime cOndi-
ton for making into pencils the mo-
ment it reached the shops.
'Get all you can of this wood" was
the order to agents.
''What will you take for your rail
fences?" one Tennessee farmer was
asked.
"Gosh, wouldn't sell them fences.
1t would take years to split up more
rails" said the farmer. The agent
had an idea.
eff 1 put in modern woven wire
fences may 1 have the old wooden
ones?"
you bet you can, until they come
and get you," was the answer.
"Who come and get me?" asked the
agent.
1.-THE crazy house people, where you
broke out FROM snorted the old farm
er. But the agent ordered the fenc-
ing, and his men put it up and shipped
the old cedar rails, which were from
25 to IS years old, to the factories
and the value of the cedar was SO
much greater than the cost of the wire
fences that the pencil makers were de-
lighted

pants:
"Well, Mr.. Smith, we're all here"
"How many?" was the curt question.
Twenty"
Good. Here is your authority
handing the legal papers to the officer.
Before we go in you ought to know
the facts. A few hours ago a man
named MGraw, calling himself a depu-
ty United States marshal and claim
ing to be acting under Instructions
from Judge Lorching's court in Re3
Butte, took possession of our dam and
camp. On, the even chance that he
isn't what he claims to be, we are 60
ing to arrest him and every man in his
crowd. Are you game for it?"
I'm game to serve any papers that
Judge Warmers got the nerve to is
sue" was the big mans reply.
'Thats the talk that's what hoped
to hear you say. Was Stanton arrest
ed?
He sure was. Strothers found him
in the HOphra House bar, and the line
of talk he turned loose would have set
wet blanket afire. Just the same,
he had to go along with Jimmie and
get himself locked up"
THAT is the first step; now if you're
ready, We'll take the next"
Harding rode forward and the ad-
vance began. For the first mile or so
the midnight silence was unbroken
save by the subdued progress noises
and the murmurings of the nearby
river in its bed. Once Smith took the
wheel While Starbuck rolled and light
ed cigarette. 1t was Starbuck who
harked back to the talk which had
been so abruptly broken off.

Paraffin Better Than Anbrinc.

The sO-called ambrine, invented by
DR.. Barthe de, Sandfort and used in
France for healing burns and other in
Examinations, is almost all parafffn. So
are it's several American limitations.
The Journal of the American Medical
Association has been testing them, as
well as the many different brands of
paraffin, and it finds that the success
of treatment with it depends upon the
kind of paraffin used.
1t gives a formula with which any
one can make q paraffin film similar
in chemical composition, but superior
in physical properties to ambrine. This
is: Paraf1in 12O-122 F., 97.5; olive oil,
1.5; asphalt, drops. And it says it is
exceedingly probable that further ex-
perience will show that for most pur-
poses simple paraftin will serve as well
as, if not better than, any of the mix
lures.

Misfortune Convinced Tommy He Had

tion of His Anatomy.

Tommy Tonkins was keen on baseball
and particularly ambitious to make his
mark as a catcher. Any hint, however,
swall, was welcomed if it helped on
his advance In this department of the
game. When he began to have trouble
with his hands, and somebody suggest
ed soaking them in salt water to hard

advice. Alas few days later Tommy
had misfortune. A hit at the bot
tom Of the garden sent the ball crash
ing through a neighbor's sitting-room
window. 1t was the third Tommy had
broken since the season began.
Mrs. Torkins nearly wept in anger
when Tommy broke the news.

by Justice Low striking out his action
against Lieut. Col. R. Brook on the
ground that it was frivolous and yexa-

Norman said the action was brought
for damages for alleged assault COM
mitted upon him by the order OF the
defendant, as commandant of Wands-

dates in May and June last year. The
assaults consisted of splitting at the ap-
pellant, ordering him to be put in a

Municipal Piggery Declared Equally as
Sanitary and More Profitable Than
Garbage Reduction Plant.

When food is in such present and
prospective demand as it now is, waste
should be kept down to the irreducible
minimum and unpreventable food
waste utilized to the maximum. Do
their very best in food saving, urban
populations pass immense volumes of
waste food materials to the garbage
can every day.
The hog volunteers to utilize muni-
cipal food wastes in the quickest. SIM
plest, cheapest and most profitable
manner or if preferred he will submit
TO selective draft or indiscriminate con-
scriptiOn. A ready market offers SIG
per hundredweight for the end product.
The hog is not a very sentimental
animal, but there has been no end of
sentiment against utilizing him for
garbage disposal. Quite aside from
war emergencies, it is high time that
this kind of sentiment gave way to
common sense and scientific knowledge,
says the Engineering News Record.
If a modicum of the scientific knowl-
edge required to design, build and op-
crate a garbage-reductiOn plant were
devoted to a municipal piggery, the
sanitary results would be at least
equally good, while it is possible that
the profits per ton of garbage would be
considerably higher.
For years past the garbage of many
American cities has been successfully
fed to hogs. The practice would have
been adopted in many other cities and
continued where abandoned, had it not
been for jealous but ignorant opposi
ton on the ground that the practice is

wagon bridge is a prolOngatiOn, be-
comes n country road, fOrking a few
hundred yards from the bridge ap-
proach to send one of it's branchings
northward among the Little Creek
ranches and another westward up the
right bank of re stream.
At this fol- i the road, between
eleven and twelve o'clock of the night
of alarms, Sheriff Harding's party of
special deputies began to assemble.
Under each mans saddle flap was
sIung the regulation weapon of the
West-a scabbarded repeating rifle !;
and the small troop punching itself in
the river road looked serviceably mill
tant and businesslike.
An automobile rolled silently down
the mesa road from the north and
came to a stand among the horses.

ueddino Cake of Ancient orioin

The wedding cake is of ancient
origin. In its earliest form it was moth
ing more than a small cake of wheat
or barley. Half of this was eaten by
the bride and half by the bridegroom,
as a token that they were Joined to-
gether for life. The wedding ring, n
symbol of everlasting love, is derived
from a heather source. The giving Of
an engagement ring also dates back
many centuries, for in the time of the
Roman empire the lover always sent
his beloved a ring rs pledge. but the
young lady had then to be contepted
with a ring of iron, without a stone
of any kind.
