sun hanging low, she lost her absolute
certainty of east and west, north and
south.
She blundered on. not admitting to
herself the possibility Of being unable
to find Cariboo Meadows. AS best she
could, and to the best of her belief,
she held in a straight line for the town.
But she walked far enough to have
overrun 1t, and was yet upon unfamil-
lar ground
The shadows deepened until she
tripped over roots and stones, and
snagged her hair and clothing on
branches she could not see in time to
fend Off. AS last resort, she turned
straight for the light patch still show

| cross the wagon road that ran from
Soda Creek TO the Meadows-lt lay
west. and she had gone northeast from
gan to tug at her that she had passed
the Meadows unknowingy.
Presently It was dark, and darkness
| in the woods IS the darkness of the
| pit itself. She found fallen tree, and
climbed on 1t to rest and think. After
what seemed an age she fancied she
saw CLEAN far distant in the timber.
She watched the spot fxedly, and
thought she saw the faint reflection of
a light. That heartened her. She ad.
vanced toward 1t, hoping that 1t might
be the CLEAN of a ranch window. Her
progress was slow. She blundered
over the litter Of forest floor, trip
| ping over unseen obstacles But ten
minutes established beyond peradven-
ture the fact that it was indeed light.
She kept on. The wavering CLEAN
came from behind thicket-an open
| fire, she saw at length. Beyond the
fire she heard horse sneeze Within
few yards of the thIcket through

halted. smitten with a sudden panic.
| This endured but few seconds. All
that she knew or had been told of
frontier men reassured her. She had
found them to man courteous. awk-
wardly cOnsiderate. And she could not
! wander about all night.
she moved cautiously, however, to
/ the edge of the thicket, to n point
where she could see the fire. A man
sat bumped over the glowing embers,
whereon slzzled piece Of meat. His
head was bent forward, as If he were
listening. Suddenly he looked up, and
she gasped-for the freight showed

She was afraid of him. Why, she did

turned to retreat. In the same instant
Roaring Bill reached to his rifle and

He stepped sldewise out Of the light

trnyed her, and he closed In before she
took three steps. He caught her rude

into the freight.

where she came from, and what she
looked like? l guess you don't realize
what old granny gossips we wild West
erners are. Especially where girls are
concerned"
Hazel stiffened a trifle. She did
not like the idea Of Cariboo Meadows
discussing her with such freedom.
"Well," said he, I'VE won't argue the
point"
He disappeared into the dark again.
This time he came back with the
crown of his hat full Of water, which
he sprinkled over the dwindling fire.
AS the red glow Of the embers faded
in sputter of steam and ashes, Hazel
realized more profoundly the blackness
of cloudy night in the woods.
TITS going to be nasty travelling,
Miss Weir" Roaring Bill spoke at her
elbow. "T'll walk and lead the packs.
You ride Silk. He's gentle. All you
have to do is sit still, and he'll stay
right behind the packs. I'll help you
mount"
If Hazel had still been inclined to in
sist on walking, she had no chance to
debate the question. Bill took her by
the arm and led her up beside the
horse. 1t was unique experience for
her, this being compelled to do things

staff telling her how to put her foot in
the stirrup, putting her for the first
time in her life astride horse, warn
ing her to duck low branches. In his
mind there seemed to be no question
as to whether or not she would ride
He had settled that.
Unused to mounting, she blundered
at the first attempt and flushed in the
dark at Bits amused chuckle. The
next instant he caught her under the
arms, and, with the leverage of her
one foot in the stirrup, set her gently
in the seat Of the saddle.
"You're such little person." he
said, these stirrups are mile too
long. Put your feet in the leather
above-so. Now play follow your
leader. Give Silk his head"
He moved away. Obedient to Bill's
command, she let the reins dnngle, and
SILK followed close behind his mates.
Hazel lurched unsteadily at first, but
presently she caught the swinging mo-
ton and could maintain her balance
without holding stlfly to the saddle
horn.
The night seemed endless as the will
derness itself. Unused to riding, she
became sore, and then the sore mus
cles stiffened. The chill of the night
air intensified. She grew cold, her
fingers numb. She did not know where
she was going, and she was assailed
with doubts of Roaring Bits ability to
find Cariboo Meadows.
"Mr. Wagstaffl" she called.
"Yours truly" his voice hailed back,
away to one side. "rll be there in a
minute"
In less tine he appeored beside her

"I'm not afraid of horses at all"

than the shoe machinery industry.
The machines for Army work have
been supplied as fast as they were
ordered. and we have been able TO
give every factory doing government
work such of our machines as 1t need
ed. We could do this largely on ac-
count OF our leasing system. AS you
probably know, we own the most of
our machines and lease them out to
the factories. We know just whero
they are. and have been able to trans
fer them from one factory to another
and move them about to where they
could do the most good for the gov
crnment. In some cases we have had
to give other machines to the fac
tories from which the machines for
Army shoes were taken. or to per-
suade the lessees to get along in
some other way until we could re-
place the machines.
Although we have furnished over
twenty-five hundred machines for gov-
ernment work In addition to making
many new machines for the same pur-
pose. Take this new Pershing shoe AS
soon as we learned that tho government
had ordered 4o00 900 pairs of such shoes
for trial, we saw that there would. be a
large demand for the new machines
required to make 1t. We knew they
could not make an adequate test with
that number of shoes. and that they
would need several million pairs he
fore they could try the type out.

"a great deal of our present busi-
; ness is making special machlies for

Winslow. Repair plants have been
established at the Army cantonments,
and large number of special ma
chimes for repairing shoes there have
been furnished. Tile Army wants ma
and operated Independently Of. any
central power plant. Such machines
can be easily moved from place to
place, and-they could be carried along
with the.Army. AS 1t Is now the shoes
of the soldiers when repaired are
shalf-soled by machinery, the soles be-
ing nailed on by patent mailer,
which can fasten on sole in one
minute. The government has ordered
1.400. suoll machines, and'we have sent
hundreds of other repair machines to
different parts of the country.
The most of the shoe machinery of
the world Is made in. the United
States. 1t Is manufactured here and
shipped to shoemaking establishments
all pyer the earth. 1t was only a few
years ago that most of the shoes
were made by hand. The parts were
cut out and given to the cobbler, who
sewed the leather together. 1t took
o man one. day to make three shoes or
pair and one half. 1t took so much
labor that If the S0,O00,0OO pairs made
for our soldiers had been manufac-
tured in that way 1t would.have taken
$4,000 cobblers three years ito make
them. By means of shoe machinery
we have single companies that have
made as many as 10000 pairs of shoes
in one day, and the McEIwain factory,
which ] visited at MANCHESTER, was
turning out 5000 pairs of. Army shoes
per day Mt the time of my visit.

pairs of shoes per annhm. Marching,
lighting and the work of the trenches
eat up. leather as wolves eat fresh
meat. and we have to feed the feet
stomachs. In addition. ito. this. we have
the enormous domestic demand, which
averages about three pairs for every
man, woman and child In the coun-
try. so that the needs of the time
may rise as high as i00,0oO,O00 pairs
of shoes in one year

THE n.anufacturc OF these shoes is
the task Of the leather and shoe

the machinery upon. WHICH the out
put depends Is largely the task of
the Unified shoe Machinery Company,
which sells or leases It's machines to
the hx,ndreds of shoe factories of the
United States and TO our allies. 1t
not only supplies it's machines, but
1t keeps. them in order ana looks after
their efficiency and thair capacity for
production. The great. plant where
the machines are. made Is here at
Beverly. within twenty miles of the

Beverly Is certainly jhe hub OF our

But first let me. give you . bit CT

Mr.. Wirslow knows as MUCH about
. shoe machines as Brer Rabbit did
about. the original brieE patch. into
which he was thrown by Drer FOX:
He was born and bred in the shadow OF
the shoe machinery Business. Educated
at Harvard. where he took a coLrse
