"Thers Is a Limit, Verda."

At all events, when Smith had helped
her out of the car at the hotel entrance
and had seen her as far as the eleva-
tor, she thanked him half absently and
took his excuse, that he must return
the runabout to Maxwell's garage, with
out laying any further commands upon
him.
Just as he was turning away, a bell
boy came across from the clerks desk
with a telegram for Miss HIGHLANDER.
Smith had no excuse for lingering, but
with the air thick with threats he made
the tipping Of the boy answer for a
%mOmentary stOp-gap. Miss Verda tore
the envelope open and read the inclo-
sure with a fine-lined little frOwn COM
ing and going between her eyes.
"It's from Tucker Jibbey," she said,
glancing up at Smith. Someone has
told him where we are, and he is fol-
lowing us. He says he'll be here on
the evening train. VIII you meet him
and tell him I've gone to bed?"
At the mention of Jlbbey, the money
spoiled son of the man who stood next
to Josiah HIGHLANDER in the credit rat
ings, and Lawrenceville's best imita-
ton Of a faneur, Smiths first emotion
was one of relief at the thought that
Jibbey would at least divide time with
him in the entertainment of the bored
beauty then he remembered that Jib-
hey had once considered him a rival,
and that the sham "rounder's' pres
ence in Brewster would constitute a
menace more threatening than all the
others put together.
81 can't meet Tucker" he said blUnt-
ly. "YOu know very well I can't"
''That's So" was the quiet reply. "Of
course you can't. What viii you do
when he comes?-run away?"
mo; l can't do that, either. I shall
keep out of his way, If I al If he
finds me and makes any bad breaks,
he'll get what's coming to him. If he's
worth anything to you, youn put him
on the stage In the morning and send
him up into the mountains to join your
father"
'The idea |" she laughed. He's not
coming out here to see father. Poor
Tuckerl If he could only know what
he is in for" Then: 1T is beginning
to look as II you might have to 60 stlll
deeper in debt to me, Montague. There
is one more thing I'd like to do before
1 leave Brewster. If I'll promise to
keep Tucker away from you, will you
drive me out to the Baldwins' tomOr-
row afternoon2 1 want to see the
cOloneIs fine horses, and he has invited
me, you know"
Smiths eyes darkened.
"There is a limit, Verda, and you've
reached It." he said quickly. "f the
colonel invited you to Hillcrest, 1t was
because you didn't leave him any
chance not to. resign In favor Of Jib-
hey" and with that he handed her into
the waiting elevator and said. Good
night"

The Portland Gold Mining Company
Of Victor distributed a dividend
amounting to $4,000, or approximate
ly three cents per share.
Returns from a car of ore recently
shipped from the New Dominion
mines at Ophir, in the Telluride dist
riot, gave values of around 5000 a ton.
The Michigan Mining and Milling
Company, operating in the old camp
of Kokomo, near Leadville, during
1917, shipped a total of 10,163 tons of
ore.
A three-foot vein of m~olybdenum,
cut at a depth of $50 feet, has been
exposed in the Morning Glory group
Of claims near Pitkin in Gunnison
county.
The output for the mines of Cripple
Creek for January has a total of 92,-
1913 tons, with an average value of
$10.O1 and gross bullion of $925,430.
Dividends paid during the same per-
iod total $273,500 and were paid by
the following companies: Cresson
Consolidated G. M. & M. Co, $4,000
monthly; Golden Cycle, M. and Il. Co.,
$4,000, monthly; Portland G. & M.
Co, 100000, quarterly; Granite Gold
Mining Company, $16,5O0, monthly.
The current price of potash is $500
to 1915 per ton of 1000 pounds. 1t is
alleged by chemists and metallurgists
who have tested the Cripple Creek
ores that the phonolites Of such mine
as the Portland, Vindicator, Ajax and
Granite yield an average of 6 per cent
potash, or 100 pounds to the ton. With
a process that will save the potash,
this means 10 to 1877 cents per pound
for potash, or from SIS to $22.44 for
the potash in a ton of Cripple Creek
material. In mines like the proper
ties named this might easily balance
the overhead charges.

"Good. Wen do that first; and then
wen go after this fellow Lanterby. /
want TO get Stanton where I can pinch
him, Billy no, there's nothing personal
about It but when a great corporation
like the Escalante Land company gets
down TO plain anarchy and dynamiting,
It's time to make somebody sweat for
It. Let's go and get Shaw"
Together they went across the cOrri-
dor, and Smith unlocked the door of
the disused room. The light switch
was on the door-jamb and Starbuck
found and pressed the button. The
single incandescent bulb hanging from
the ceiling sprang allve-and showed
the two men at the door an empty
room and an open window. The bird
had flown.
Starbuck was %grinnlng again when
he went to look out of the window.
The roof Of the adjoining building "a
only a few feet below the sill level,
and there was a convenient fire escape
ladder leading to the ground.
"It's us for that rOadhOuse out on
the Topaz trail before the news gets
around to Stanton and Lanterby," he
said definitely; and they lost no time
in securing an auto for the dash.
But that, too, proved to be a fiasco.
When they reached BartOn's all-night
place on the hill road, the bar was
stlll open and a card game was run
ming in an upstairs room. Starbuck

"You know me, Pug, and what I can
do to you If I have to. We want Hank
Lanterby. Pitch out and show us
where"
The barkeeper threw up one hand
as If he were warding Off a blow.
"YOu cd have him in a holy minute,
for all o. me, Billy; you sure could"
he protested. "But he's gone"
"On the level?" snapped S~tarbuck.
'That's straight; 1 wouldn't lie to
you, Billy. Telephone call came from
town a little spell ago, and / got Hank
outa bed t answer It. He borra'd
Barton's mare an faded inside Of a

(which way?" demanded the ques-
TONER.
'T' the hills; leastways he amt
headln' fr town when he breaks from
here"
Starbuck turned to Smith with a wry
smile.
"Shaw beat us to 1t and he scores
on u.s." he said. "We may as well
hike back, phone Williams to keep his
eye on things up at the dam, and go
to bed. ThereT be nothing more do
Ing tonight"

what I am doing, and 1 shall 60 on as
I have begun. It's the only way. Mat.
ters are desperate enough with us now,
and If I should drop out"
The telephone bell was ringing, and
Baldwin twisted his chair to bring him
self within reach Of the desk set. The
message was a brief one, and at its
finish the ranchman-president was
frowning heavily.
by Jupiter 1t does seem as II the
bad luck all comes in a bunch ~ he
protested. civilians was rushing
things just a little too fast, and they've
lost a whole section Of the dam by
stripping the forms before the CON
crete was set. That puts us back M
other tw%enty-four hours, at least. Don't
that beat the mischief"
Smith reached for his hat. "It's six
o'clock" he said "and Williams form
shippers have furnished one more rea-
son why 1 shouldn't keep Miss Rich
lander waiting for her dinner" And
with that he cut the talk short and
went his way.
With a blank evening before her,
Miss Rfchlander, making the tete-a-
tete dinner count for what It would,
frightened her hold upon the one man
available, demanding excitement. Moth
ing else Offering, she suggested an eve
ming auto drive, and Smith dutifully
te%lephoned Maxwell, the railroad SUI
p~erlntendent, and borrowed a runabout.
Smith drove the borrowed runabout
in sober silence, and the glorious
beauty in the seat beside him did not
try to make him talk. Perhaps she, too,
was busy with thoughts Of her own.

Smith was jabblng his paper knife
absently into the desk blotter. "And
yet we go on calling this a civilized
eOuntryi" he said meditatlvely. Then
with a sudden change Of front: "Tm
In thls fight to stay until / win out
or die out, Billy; you know that. As l
have said, Miss Verd0 can kill me Off
II she chooses to; but she won't choose
TO. Now let's get TO work. It's pretty
late to rout a Justice Of the peace
out Of bed to issue a warrant for us,
but wen DO 1t. Then wen go after
Lanterby and make him turn states
evidence. Come on let's get busy"
But Starbuck, reaching softly for a
chair-rightlng handhOld upon Smiths
desk, made no reply. Instead he
snapped his 1.-the body out OF the chair
and launched 1t In a sudden tiger
spring at the door. To Smiths aston
ishment, the door, which should have
been latched, came in ut ~Starbuck's
wrenching jerk of the knob, bringing
with It, hatless, and with the breath
startled out of him, the new stenOgrn-
pher, Shaw.
'There's your states evidence" said
StarbucS grlmly, pushing the half
dazed door listener into a chair. "Just
put the anger a couple of inches into
this fellow and see what you can find"
Richard Shaw had an exceedingly
bad quarter of an hour when Smith
and Starbuck applied the thumbscrews
to force a confession out Of him. New
~ertheless, knowing the dangerous
ground upon which he stood, he evaded
and shufled and prevaricated under
the charges and questiOnlngs until It
became apparent that nothing short Of
bribery or physical torture would get
the truth out of him. Smith was not
willing to offer the bride, and since
the literal thumbscrews were out Of
the question, Shaw was locked into
one Of the vacant rooms across the
corridor until his captors could deter
mine what was to be done with him.
'That is one time when I fired and
missed the whole side of the barn."
Starbuck admitted, when Shaw had been
remanded to the makeshift cell across
the hall. 81 know that fellow is On
S%tanton's pay roll and it's reasonably
certain that he got his job with you so
that he could keep cases on you. But

charge him, and that's about all that
can be done with him."
"He is a pretty smooth article" said
Starbuck reflectlvely. "He used to be
a clerk in Maxwell's railroad office,
and he was mixed up in some kind of
crookedness, 1 don't remember just
what"
Smith caught quickly at the sugges-
ton.
"Wait a minute, Billy" he broke in /;
and then: There's no doubt In your
mind that he's a spy"
"Sure he ls," was the prompt re-
jolnder.

CHAPTER XVI.
At ANY Cost.

Al ANY CoSt.
With all things moving favorably for
Timanyoni High Line up to the night
Of ~iascos, the battle for the great
water-right seemed to take a sudden
slant against the local promoters, after
the failure to cripple Stanton by the
attempt to suppress two of his subordi-
mates. Early the next day there were
panicky rumOrs In the air, none of them
traceable to any definite starting point.
One Of the stories was to the effect
that the Timanyoni dam had faulty
foundations and that the haste in
building had added to its insecurity.
On the heels of this came clamorous
court petitions from ranch owners be-
low the dam site, setting forth the
food dangers to which they were ex-
posed and praying for an injunction to
stop the work.
Th0t this was a new move on STAN
toms part, neither Smith nor Stillings
questioned for a moment; but they no
sooner got the nervous ranchmen paci-
fed by giving an indemnity bond for
any damage that might be done, than
other rumors sprang up. For one day
and yet another Smith fought mechan-
ically, developing the machinelike dog
gedness Of the soldier who sees the
battle going irreslstibly against him
and still smites on in sheer despera-
ton. He saw the carefully built or
%gRDlzatiOn structure, reared by his own
efforts upon the foundation laid by
Colonel Baldwin and his ranchman as
sociates, falling to pieces. In spite of
all he could do, there was a panic of
stOck-selling the city council, alarmed
by the persistent story of the unsafety
OF the dam, was threatening to cancel
the lighting contract with TimanyOni
High Line and KinZie, though he was
doing nothing openly, had caused the
word to be passed far and wide among
the TimanyOni stockholders, disaster
could be averted now only by prompt
action and the swift effacement of their
%rule-or-ruin secretary and treasurer.
They're after you, john" was the
way the colonel put 1t at the close Of
the second day of buck-slipplngs. 'They
say you're fiddlin' while Rome's a
burnln'. Maybe you know what they
mean by that; / don't"
Smith did know. During the two
days OF stress Miss Verda had been
very exacting. There had been another
night at the theater and much time
killing after meals In the parlOrs Of the
HOphra house. Worse still, there had
been a daylight auto trip about town
and up TO the dam. The victim was
writing miserably under he price
paying, but there seemed 10 be no help
for It. Since the night Of Verda Rich
landers arrival In Brewster, he had not
sea Corona he was telling himself

"Call him upon the phone and state
the case briefly. Tell him n he has
any nip On Shaw that would warrant
US In turning him over to the sheriff,
we'd like to know It."
"You're getting the range now"
laughed the ex-cowman, ami instead
OF using the desk set, he went to shut
himself into tie sound-proof telephone
closet.
When he emerged a few minutes
later he was grinning ~exultantly. "That

SEIZURE OF HOUSEWIVES
 FOOD STOCKS IMPOSSIBLE.

The government has never consid- cred any plan of seizing foodstufns owned by householders. Nor is there. any policy of this kind suggested for the future
 In spite of this fact, the United States food administration has been obliged repeatedly to issue oficial de-, nials of rumors that the government Intends communicating preserves and canned goods put up in Americanl homes.
 These rumors were originated partly by pro-German propagandlsts and part ly by conscienceless grafters, whoi sought to profit through buying from mIsinformed housewives.
 The year 1918 will see home cannIngI and preserving practiced on greater scale than ever before ln the nation's history, officials in Washington believe. And they are assuring all patriotic housewives that foods so saved are theirs, and theirs alone.
