blood-run body in his arms. Followed by Nan he carried his burden to a point deep in the canyon and laid; it in rocky grave, piling rocks high over it so that coyotes or vultures should not get to it. Then they began to ascend the cliff, Nan softly weep ing as they went. Half way up the trail, Gwyn halted, his eyes riveted on something deep down the valley. Taking careful aim, Gwyn fired one shot from his rifle and an instant later Drant's white pony went to earth, shot through the head, and his rider went flying through the air. Nan restrained Gwyn as he raised his rifle to fire at Drant.
 Now Gwyn and Nan moved hurried ly into the canyon. Drant, who had by now reached the upper trail where their horses stood, mounted Mans horse and rode swiftly off, seeking Won Bleck and Rawls.
 When Gwyn and Nan reached the dangling rops that had borne them to the canyon bed, they were confronted by the problem of getting to the top again. Gwyn thought first of climb ing up himself and then pulling Nan up, but the danger of battering her against the rocky walls of the canyon caused him to dismiss the plan. He had sudden inspiration. Tying the rope securely about the middle of Mans rifle, he ordered her to sit on one side of it and he sat upon the other. Then he tugged at the rope until the strain put fear into his horse and the frightened beast started on a mad gollop along the trail. As he ran he pulled Gwyn and Nan to the top of the canyon.
 When they reached the top, Gwyn replaced the rope in the we'll and he and Nan went in search of their mounts. Only Gwyn's was to be found and then they realized how Drant had got away. Lifting Nan in- to the saddle, Gwyn then got on back of her and they started for the hacien- da.
 Dusk was beginning to unfold it's thin, blue veil over the solemn peaks of the Sierras. The shadowy outlines of the tree-tops stretching hazily away over the mountains looked like a thousand tombstones in the growing darkness. The thick silence about the little house that had been Don Carlos home seemed to emphasize the vast ness and solitude of the hills. It was just fourteen hours. From the win dows of the hacienda the low flick ering nervous rays of candle-light cast their yellow brightness into the darkness. Inside, lounging comforta- bly, inl the living room, were three me conversing seriously in low, scarcely inaudible voices. They were Karl Won Bleck, Shoestring Drant and Cut-Deep Rawls. Won Bleck was leaning 1or- ward in his chair, worried, unnatural expression on his countenance. Drant was talking, and, as he spoke he mopped the precipitation from his forehead with a filthy handkerchief. It was evident that he had entered but a moment before, and his excited tones as words fairly tumbled from his lips, denoted that he was reporting news of weighty importance. Drant's eyes were fixed upon Won Bleck.
 "Where's the Indian?" Won Bleck fairly shouted. "I don't care hang how long you fought, want to know where the Indian is. We didn't find the chart here and he knows where it ! is, That's all I care about. Where

their victim.
 Joe by this time was almost beyond could do now would add any more to his suffering He was fast sinking into unconsciousness from loss of blood.
 But the malignant Drant was deter mined and he personally applied the fire that was to mako Joe divulge his secret. The latter had slipped into unconsciousness again, but Drant de- pended on the fire to bring him back to life and confession. The outlaw had just lifted a burning brand and was letting the flames play on the soles of Joe's feet when a shot rang out. Startled, he swept the valley in a quick, all-embracing look, then leap ed to his feet. He started to the trail where he had left man on guard and his other followed with him, leaving the dying Yaqui alone.
 Arriving on the trail, Drant and his companion discovered their sentinel in death grip with Gwyn. He and Nan had descended into the canyon on its farthest slope by means of a rope which Gwyn took from a we'll on the side of the trail. Tying one end to the pommel of his saddle and taking Nan's rifle he had descended to the bottom of the canyon and she, refusing to be left alone, had followed. They cross ed the bed of the canyon unobserved by Drant's sentry and climbed up the other side to the trail. Gwyn was al- most upon the guard before the latter saw him and fired. He misses and Gwyn leaped on him, Nan then talk ing short cut to the point where Joe had been left to die.
 Drant and his companion lost not a moment in going to the rescue of Gwyn's antagonist. Each tried to bring their weapons into play, but could not. The struggling pair moved so rapidly they dared not take pair leaped on Gwyn, but he fought like a tiger. He engaged the three singly and together. A dozen times they swayed; to the edge of the trail and it seemed as though all must plunge to death. But they did not. Finally, catching the guard around the waist, Gwyn hurled him over the brink and to death. The other man leaped down soon afterward, breaking his neck as he struck the rocks below.
 
 Fearing a similar fate, Draht fled down the trail, intending to return and finish Joe before Gwyn could rescue him. As he approached, Joe, who had been released by Nan, rose from the ground and fired. Nan did like wise. Drant, his fury turned on the girl, fired at her. But Joe had antic- ipated him and leaped in front of Nan, taking in his own heart the bullet that was intended for her. Drant dis appeared n the brush as Joe fell, dy ing, to earth. Nan was quickly bend- ing over the mortally wounded serv- ant and raised his head to her lap as Gwyn came running up. They real ized that Joe's valiant life was near it's ned.
 Suddenly the old, wrinkled face of the faithful Yauqui frightened. His eyes lighted for an instant, his lips parted, whisper came forth. They bent low to hear. H4 spoke:
 "Joe no tell"
 They were his last words. His head fell back, his face relaxed. He was dead.

An Important Test.

Tulsa World: An important test
in the Duncan field is the Humble
test in II 2sl0w which is drilling
at 2.645 feet. There is a general
discussion at the present time about
the prospects for a deeper pay IN
the Duncan field than that found
bv the Magnolia at 2,O5O feet and
data for discussion-there IS none
There are many things to be
taken into consideration. First, It
seems logical that the sands at
llcaldton could be compared with
the sands at Duncan because both
fields lie south Of the granite fold
which runs from the Arbuckle
mountains at Davis, west to the
Wichita mountains, northwest OF
L.awton. This seems logical, but
still, at the present time, it seems
very much impossible.
Second, Duncan should have a
deeper pay because several sands
have been found above the 2,OoO-
loot depth and consequently there
should be sands below.
But still, the one thing that Will
bring to light the whole situation
will be deeper drilling and it is
srangs but nevertheless fact that
the deepest test yet drilled in that
cnire counry from ownship Is o
Is and from range 6w to l3w, IS
the we'll in the northeast corner OF
80 2s7w, southeast of Comanchc,
which was drilled to total depth
OF 2650 feet.
The Humble we'll will probably
go below this depth and is there
fore an important test for that To-
cality.

increase efficiency in the production
of arms, war munitions, ships, food
and clothing for the army and navy,
it shall be unlawful to sell for bev-
erage purposes any distilled spir-

there are rumors to the effect that
the Ringing railroad is to be eX-

site. The Gum properties are ad-
jacent to the Magnolia discovery

property.
1t will be necessary to obtain the
approval OF Secretary McAdoo be
fore any new railroad work can be
started, but this it is claimed can
be done on the grounds OF neceS-
sary development because OF the

Turnin For Miami
Mining District For
Week Ending July 6

Miami Record Herald: Due to
the fact that the greater portion OF
the mills closed down for the
Fourth-many stopping for the
four days which included balance
of the week, the turnin was not as
large as usual. The strong raise in
prices for both metals reported in
last weeks sales still remained in
effect as to averages. Lower grades

Prices for blende ranged from
SIS to SIS per ton with an average
basis for settlement of SOS per ton
80 per cent metallic zinc.
Lead ore again maintained the
high average of the previous week,
namely, $3.50 per ton. Quite an
amount was reported to have
brought 500.
Most of the mines in the district
closed down for four days, begin
ming the Fourth, the principal ex-
ception being the Picher mines,
which only closed down for one
day. Shortage of help also contrib
uted materially to the decrease in
output.

The Cubs practically ended the
National League rase last week. when
they took three out Of four from our
Giants. Pittsburgh already had turned
a similar trick so the Cubs, have q
five and half game lead. with less
than month to go. The majority Of
their remaining games are to be play
ed on their home grounds. The Giants
have been unable to profit by the
assistance rendered them by Brooklyn.
which recently beat the Cubs four
straight The Cubs had been enjoy
ing a runaway. but the loss or these
four games while the Giants won four
out of five from ST. Louis once more
made race of II.
The Cubs appeared to be wabbling
before the opening at the Polo
Grounds last Thursday, for they had
only won ten out OF twenty-one
games. Especially had their pitching
staff shown signs of a breakdown.
Vaughn and Tyler pitched great bail
here, but both Douglass and Hendrix
showed they were not in the form
they showed earlier in the season.
Hendrix was unable to hold nine
run lead on Saturday. However. the
Cubs are on a batting spree. and gave
the Giant pitchers the worst lambast-
ing OF the season. The kind of bat
ting the Cubs showed here will cover
all kinds of pitching sins. q -
Hollocher is the handspring of the
Chicago Club. and II he is called into
service soon the Cubs will suffer a
severe blow. For a time IL looked as
though Ross Young was the greatest
find of the season. but splendid a
player that Ross is the palm must be
handed to Hollocher. He is Hans
Wagner's logical successor as the an
round star of the National League.
and looks like an even better ball
player than Hornsby.

fast ball as any club in the leage'
may stop the Cubs again when they
play a three game series. The Giants
may come. back strong against Gin
cinnati. With the exception of Cau-
sey.. who has been holding up the

and has been hit harder with each
game. Toney showed little in his first
