grips instead Of the even foothold of
the rock itself. As Gordon looked
down at the dizzy fall beneath them
his judgment tcld him they had better
go back. He said as much to his COM
panion.
The smile she flashed at him was de-
lightfully provocative. $50 you think
I'm a 'fraid-cat, Mr.. Elliott"
His inclination marched with hers.
1t was their first adventure together
and he did not want to spoil 1t by un-
due caution. There really was not
much danger yet 50 long as they were
careful.
Gordon abandoned the traverse and
followed an ascending crack in the
wall. The going was hard He looked
down at the girl wedged between the
slopes of the granite trough.
She read his thought. "The Old
Guard never surrenders, SIR" was her
quick answer as she brushed in salute
with the tips of her fingers a stray lock
of hair.
The trough was worse than Eliot
had expected. 1t had in 1t good deal
of loose rubble that started in small
slides at the least pressure.
BE very careful Of your footing" he
called back anxiOusly.
A small grassy platform lay above
the upper end Of the trough, but the
last dozen feet Of the approach was a
very difficult bit. Gordon fought his
way up with his back against one wall
and his knees pressed to the other.
Three feet short of the platform the
rock walls became absolutely smooth.
The climber could reach within q foot
of the top.
"Are you stopped?" asked Sheba.
Looks that way"
A small pine projected from the
edge of the shelf out over the preci-
pice. 1t might be strong enough to
bear his weight. 1t might not. Cor
don unbuckled his belt and threw one
end over the trunk Of the dwarf tree.
Gingerly he tested it with his weight,
then went up hand over hand and
worked himself over the edge of the
little plateau.
"All right?" the girl called ND.
"All right. But you can't make II.
I'm coming down again."
I'D like to try it. I'll stop IL IT'S
too hard" she promised.
The strength of her slender wrists
surprised him. She struggled up the
vertical crevasse inch by inch. His
heart was full Of fear. for a misstep
now would he fatal. He lay down with
his face over the ledge and lowered
to her the buckled loop of his belt.
Twice she stopped exhausted her
back and her hands pressed against
the walls of the trough angle for SUD-
port.
Better give II up" he advised.
"TlI not. then" She smiled stub-
bornly as she shook her head.
Presently her fingers touched the
belt.
Gordon edged forward an inch or
two farther. "Put your hand through
the loop and catch hold Of the leather
above" he told her.
She did so. and at the same instant
her foot slipped. The girl swung out

A TIMELY TIP TO GASOLINE Users

IVY have received from c. C. Wnningham, chief OF
wv the gasoline section Of the Bureau Of Oil Con-
servation Of the United States Fuel Administration
letter which every Delaware of gasoline should
read with and apply TO himself in every way that
is practically possible. 1t is follows:
Dear Sir-Unless the vasteful methods in the hand
ling and OF gasoline are at once corrected 10 will
undoubtedly be necessary for the government TO control
the distribution and made Of gasoline Automo-
bists would then be made to conform 20 the more Sc
control and, therefore, il is TO the automobilsts
that must with campaign of education that will
point out to all OF oil and gasoline that wasteul
usage must be stopped.
We hope for the cooperation OF your paper in giving
support TO the questions Of oil and gasoline conserva-
zion II you conduct an automobile section anything
Of gasoline will be greatly appreciated by the United
States Fuel Administration and VIII have a helpful
effect in averting the necessity OF drastic control
There is desire TO put the country on fuel ration
but 1t is necessary that all discontinue waste
ful uses OF fuel OIL gasoline kerosene and all other oil
products.
Motorists should not run their engines when The car
Is not in motion. They should avoid overalling tanks
and that oil gasoline spilled or allowed TO
leak Caburaors should adjusted DO operate on the
thinnest mixture All unnecessary driving should be
discouraged.
II sufficient gasoline and oil cannot be saved from
what Is now wasted in dhe ways above suggested then
such mandatory control will assure the quantities
needed for the conduct OF the win be inevitable
That is plain and sensible letter. so plain and SEN
sible that the gasoline-consuming public should ex-
perience pleasure in accepting its recommendations
Certain it is, that If the public ignores them the
country viii be put gasoline ration and widespread
regret viii result.
