The Greatest Machine Gun.

After years of controversy a fna
tryout of the Browning rifle and ma
chine gun appears to warrant the
doubts of Gen. Crozier and the war
department of the relative merits of
the much considered Lewis gun. The
ordnance bureau was sharply criticised
| for refusing to contract for great
numbers of the Lewis gun, and if it
was true that not to purchase this
gun, the Browning not yet having
been fully tried out, meant to delay
getting into the war properly equip
ped, then the criticisms were more
than justified. What appears to be
the fact is that large contracts for
the Lewis gun were not necessary,
both because the men were not pre-
pared to go, and because so far as
they were prepared the French and
British were ready to furnish the
machine guns and rifles to fit them
out. In his testimony Gen. Crozier de-
scribed the Browning gun as the su-
preme product of American genius
in this line, and the latest trial by
the ordnance experts bears that pre-
diction out. The gun is manifestly in
another class from the Lewis gun, yet
the latter stands high in comparison
with foreign rivals. America expects
to lead in inventive skill and in guam
tity production, and the Browning
gun bears out that tradition.

Tobacco Impoverishes Soil.

1t has been calculated that ton OF
tobacco withdraws more than a hun
dredweight of mineral constituents
from an acre of land. This would ap-
pear to be an astounding waste of ma
terial. which must be of enormous
value to the SOIL considering that 20
per cent consists of calcium and potas-
stun salts and Is per cent of mag
neslum and sodium salts, including
nearly per cent of the essential con-
stituent to all plants-phosphoric acid.

The Pneumonia Season.

The cold damp weather of March
seems to be the most favorable for the
pneumonia germ. Now is the time to
be careful. Pneumonia often results
from a cold. The quicker cold is
gotten rid of the less the danger. As

appears take Chamberlain's Cough

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This IN
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and terrible headache.
Take Chamberlain's Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out your
stomach and you will soon be as well
as ever. They only cost quarter.

CHAPTER Xxx.

After supper Duane stole out for
his usual evenings spying at Long
streth's ranch-house. When he reach
ed the edge of the shrubbery he saw
Longstreth's door open, flashing a
broad bar of light In the darkness.
Lawson crossed the threshold, the
door closed. and all was dark again
outside. Not a ray of light escaped
from the window. Duane tiptoed to
the door and listened. but could hear
only a murmer of voices. Besides,
that position was too risky. He went
round the corner Of the house.
This side of the big adobe house
was Of much older construction than
the back of the larger part. There
was a narrow passage between the
houses. leading from the outside
through to the patio.
This passage now afforded Duane
an opportunity, and he decided to
avail himself of it in spite of the
very great danger. Crawling on very
s%tealthily. he got under tie %shrubbery
to the entrance of the passage. In
the blackness a faint streak of light
showed the location Of a crack in
the wall. He had to slip In sidewise.
II was a tight squeeze. but he entered
without the slightest noise. When he
got there the crack he had marked
was a foot over his head. There was
nothing TO do but find toe-holds in
the erumbling walls, and by bracing
knees on one side. back against the
other, hold himself up. Once with
his eye there he did not care what
risk he ran. Longstreth appeared dis
turbed; he sat stroking his mustache;
his brow was clouded. Lawson's face
seemed darker, more sullen, yet light
ed by some indomitable resolve.

Lawson was saying. THAT'S what
came for"

lost my head over her. I'll have her
or die. No. Longstreth, we've got to
settle things tonight"
"Wel, we can settle what Rays
concerned in, right now" replied
Longstreth, rising. 'Come on; Wen
ask her. See where you stand"
They went out leaving the door
open. Duane dropped down to rest
himself and to wait.
The men seemed to be absent a good
while, though that feeling might have
been o~ccasioned by Duane's thrilling
interest and anxiety. Finally he
heard heavy steps. Lawson came in
alone. He was leaden-faced, humili-
ated. Then something abject in him
gave place to rage. He strobe the
room; he cursed. Then Longstreth
returned, 10Y appreciably calmer.
Duane could not but decide that he
felt relief at the evident rejection of
Lawson's proposal.
Don't fuss about it, Floyd" he
said. you see l can't help il. We're
pretty wild out here, but | can't rope
my daughter and give her to you as
l would an unruly steer"
'Longstreth, / can make her marry
me" declared Lawson, thickly.
"How?"
you know the hold I got on you
the deal that made you. boss of this
rustler gang?"
1T isn't likely I'd forget" replied
Longstreth, grimly.
81 a 60 to Ray, tell her that, make
her believe I'd tell it broadcast-tell
this ranger-unless she'd marry me-"
Lawson spoke breathlessly, with
haggard face and Swallowed eyes. He
had no shame. He was simply in the
grip of passion.
Longstreth gazed with dark, con-
trolled fury at this relative. In that
look Duane saw a strong, unscrupu-
lous man fallen into evil ways, but
still a man. 1t betrayed Lawson TO
be the wild and passionate weakllng.
Like the great majority of evil and
unrestrained men on the border. he
had reached a point where influence
was futile. Reason had degenerated.
He saw only himself.
But, Floyd, Rays the one person
on earth who must never know I'm

Floyd bowed his head at that. as
If the significance had just occurred
to him. But he was not long at a loss.

or later. | tell you she knows now

porch. Duane believed those foot
steps saved Lawson's life.
"There they are" said Lawson, and
he opened the door.
Five masked men entered. They
all wore coats hiding any weapons.
A big man with burly shoulders
shook hands with Longstreth, and the
others stood back.
The atmosphere of the room had
changed. Lawson might have been a
n%onentity for all he counted. Long
streth was another mana stranger
to Duane. If he had entertained a
hope of freeing himself from this
band, of getting away to a safer
country, he abandoned it at the very
sight of these men. There was power
here, and he was bound.
The big mar spoke in low, hoarse
whispers, and at this all the others
gathered around him close to the
table. There were evidently some
signs of membership not plain to
Duane. Then all the heads were
bent over the table. Low voices
spoke, queried, answered, argued.
BY straining his ears Duane caught a
word here and there. They were
planning, and they were brief. Duane
gathered they were to have a rendez-
vous at or near Ord.
Then the big man. who evidently
was the leader of the present con-
vention, got up to depart. He went
as swiftly as he had come, and was
followed by his comrades. Longstreth
prepared for a quiet smoke. Lawson
seemed uncommunicative and I'M
sociable. He smoked fiercely and
drank continually. An at once he
Strengthened up as if listening.
"What's that?' he called suddenly.
Duane's strained ears were pervad-
ed by a slight rustling sound.

The rustic became a rattle.
sounds like a rattlesnake to me-"
said Lawson.
Longstreth got up from the table
and peered round the room.
Just at that moment Duane felt
an almost i~nappreciable movement of
the adobe wall which supported him.
He could scarcely credit his senses.
But the rattle inside Longstreth's
room was mingling with little dull
thuds of falling dirt. The adobe wall,
merely dried mud, was erumbling.
Duane distinctly felt a tremor pass
through IL. Then the blood gushed
back TO his heart.
'What in the hell" exclaimed
Longstreth.
81 smell dust" said Lawson. sharp
ly.
That was a signal for Duane TO
drop down from his perch. yet de-
spite his care he made a noise.
"Did you hear a step?" queried
Longstreth.
No one answered. But a heavy
piece of the adobe wall fell with a
thud. Duane heard II crack, felt 1t
shake.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1918-01-10

There's somebody between the
walls" Numbered Longstreth.
Then a section of the wall fell in
ward with a crash. Duane began to
squeeze his body through the narrow
passage toward the patio.
"Hear him !" yelled Lawson. 'sThis
side ~
mo, he's going that way" yelled
Longstreth.
The tramp of heavy boots lent
Duane the strength Of desperation.
He vas not Sinking a fight, but to
be cornered like a trapped coyote was
another matter. He almost tore his
clothes off in that passage. The dust
nearly stifed him. When he burst in
to the patio 1t was not an instant too
soon. But one deep gasp of breath
revived him and he was up, gun in
hand, running for the outlet into the
court. Humping footsteps turned him
back. While there was a chance to
get away he did not want to fight.
He thought he heard someone rum
ming into the patio from the other end.
He stole along, and coming to a door,
without any idea of where 1t might
lead, he softly pushed it open a little
way and slipped in.
