ed by Bert Craven drew revolver
and covered him, ordering him stern
lily to stand quiet
tYOu stand here with me-" he said,
You're more dangerous than a den
of lions"
Jenkins and Bert on reaching the
lions cages, were amazed to find
them quiet and eating, although it
was not time for them to be fed.
Jenkins could not puzzle it out, but
Bert instantly, sensed some new vii
lainy and turning, dashed back TO
where they had left Craven. They
turned the tent just a. Peaky, riding
one horse and leading another, shot
into view riding directly on the de-
tective. 1t was he who had caused
the tumult among the lions to draw
Bert and Jenkins away.
Craven, seeing Peaky coming took
a desperate chance and throwing
himself on the detective bore him to
the ground Then selling his pistol
he leaped on the extra horse and the
two villains wheeled away Bert
sought with reckless bravery to stop
them but Craven rode him down and
left him bruised and senseless on
the ground.
Jenkins, O'Doherty and score of
attendants hurried to the spot, at

outlaws as they rode away, but pur-
suit then was out Of the question.
Bert was soon revived and the three
held a conference in which the evil
dence against Peaky and Craven was
gone over and it was established be-

played the role of Red Mask and that
his object was to kill Bert and that
on several occasions he would have
succeeded had it not been for the
presence of Edith who in the last
month was at his side every moment
possible.
| Bert was shocked at the thought
his cousin would seek his life, but was
as determined as were Jenkins and
the detective to hunt him and his
confederates down at any cost and
to begin a relentless chase III the
morning.
| Edith, satisfied that the lariar
stretched from the roof of the shack
to the limb overhanging the raNine
would bear her weight, started On
her perilous journey to freedom. De-
spite her nerve and skill she nearly
lost her balance midway her journey
and had halted a moment when
Gracia rode into the clearing. The
barking of the dog outside the shack
told him something was amiss and
he hurried inside to find the rooms
empty. The opening in the roof,
however, told the story and an m
slant later he stood beneath the
girl, now terrified at his presence
and unable to attempt further to cross
the rope.
With an evil grin, Gracia took a
lassoo from his own saddle and coil

throw at the helpless girl. 1t was
his intention to drag her from her
precarious position and let her fall

Seward county had the rare oppor-
tunity of hearing Ralph Kenney,
State Specialist in crops, last week.
Mr.. Kenney was here filling the dates
for rural Farmer Institutes. He
spoke at the high school during chap
ell period on Thursday, his date being
changed on account of so many
threshing machines in the community
where he was scheduled to speak.
Those who heard him received some
very valuable knowledge on sor-
ghums, darso and sudan grass.

ter opportunity in the advancement
in Agriculture, and home betterment

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT
SHALE AT DILLON, MONT

One OF the few places where plant
has already been installed for the
distillation OF oil from shale is near
Dillon, Mont. The shale at the site
selected for the operations Is a part OF
the Phosphorie formation, which con-
tains the beds OF rock phosphate that
are mined at several places near
Bear Lake. In southeastern Idaho, for
the manufacture of fertilizer. Phos-
phate beds are also associated with
this shale In the vicinity Of Dillon,
and although they are neither so
thick nor so rich as the beds In south
eastern Idaho they have some pros
pectiye value. Soon after II became
known that there was shale In me
Dillon region from which oil could
be distilled certain promoters began
To organize companies to drill for oil
In that region, and the search has
been carried ON persistently In spite OF
the fact that the geologic conditions
there are most wholly unfavorable
to the occurrence OF oil.
The character OF these oil-shale beds
was first brought to the attention OF
the public In n report by @. F. Bowen,
published In 1918 as Bulletin G61 of
the United States Geological Survey.
Department OF the Interior. A more
detailed examination OF these phos-
phatic shales and OF beds OF other for
nations that may contain oil shale
was made late In 1918 by ID. Dale

published by the Survey as Bulletin

WANT MEMBERS FOR
THE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

The Deming Library Association
needs books OF reference for the school
children. At the present time the as
ISOLATION has something like 200 mem
bers and more than 800 patrons. Next
week the ladies OF the association will
put on a drive for members and II Is
hoped that everyone will pay In his
dollar and help in this most worthy
enterprise This Is the first time that
assistance has been asked.
A city can do without many things
which DemIng has. but without books
IL Is hopelessly behind the times. Ger
tainly the school children should have
all the books OF reference they can
use.
To bring the matter forcibly TO the
attention Of the public the ladies OF the
association will have booth at the
Luna County Fair TO give the citizens
the opportunity to become better ac-
Quainted with the work and more In
terested In its welfare.
