DISTILJ4ATION-Qu Is It alb
solutely necessary to use distilled
water in my Exide battery?
Answer-Jf you want to get the best
efficiency, by all means use distilled
water, wherever possible. Ordinary

Mary had racing car;
1t certainly was fast.
Every auto that she saw
She overlook and passed.
She tried to beat a train
And dashed across the track;
She'd seen the movies do the same
Alas! she never did come back.

SEED CORN AND CORN IMPROVE:

All the Improvement that has been
made In corn IL carried over in the

tance Of saving seed corn 80 that
the good stratn-the result Of years
Of work In selection and improve

l1n this connection it is important
to- know how mature corn must be
In order to make seed corn. In a
trial at the North Dakota Expert

seed corn selected when in the dough
stage grew fairly we'll, but not near

only get as far as the milk stage,
it could be saved, but would not do
for field planting. The more i'm
mature the corn the more care will
be needed in curing it.

II Don Manuel was not the hand
soonest man in the world, he was, at
least, the handsomest man l had ever
seen. He entered the cave as q prince
might enter a drawing-room, kissed
Katherine's hand then my own. He
was so different from the coarse out
law whom 1 expected to see hat l
could hardly reply in my best ann
to his courtly greeting.
My tense muscles and strained
nerves became normal for the first
time since l had left my precious air
plane. L was no longer afraid of los
ing either my life or my virtue.
Don Manuel la the long head OF a
Caesar or a Richelieu. He might have
been almost any one of those illustri-
Gus personages of history who have
loved power and political intrigue.
For the sake of power over other men,
he could control all of his emotions,
Women had q place in his Hfe-only
when it suited him. He was not
ruined by the influences which make
the ordinary man q slave. That was
why l was unafrald.
With true Spanish hospitality, which
always amounts to fervor. he assured
me OF his pleasure in having me as
his guest, spoke with vast delight OF
my sensational arrival at the camp,
and regretted that he had not wit
messed 1t.
Then he chartered softly with Kath-
crime. / studied him.
He was no common ad~venturer. He
was a leader of leaders. He had not
come to Mexico solely for the purpose
of holding up railroad trains.
Perhaps he had "a dream of en-
pire!" Perhaps he desired-intended
to rule all Mexico some day! More
than one s~tupendous intrigue has
hinged on Mexico, more than one ma
ton has coveted the treasure house
of the world"
Don Manuel was not a bandit by
trade, that was plain. He was a great
adventurer-and he had the adven-
turer's luck!
1 bit my lip to keep back an exclam-
alton when the realization Of the truth
came to me
Katherine Miller had been kid
mapped in my place! l was a neces-
sary part in some mysterious political
intrigue. /, the daughter of an Amer
lean Observation-Disclosures to have
been seized and held in Mexico.
Hamilton Certeis vas back of 1t all!
Whatever the plot might be, 1 had es-
capped from it only for a time. Chance
had thrown me into the hands of the
great adventurer who had failed to
kidnap me. Certainly Dame Fortune
approved the shining black head which
almost touched Katherine's golden
Curls!
Don Manuel did not require money
he did not desire money, either for
Katherine's ransom or for my own.
Had that cry to me for a ransom been
"a ruse? Had l fallen into a trap?
What next? Would I be allowed 70
escape-to go north to the Rio e
morning with Don Manuel's party?
[ began to doubt it-and my terror
grew with my doubt.
Snatches of the talk of the mar
and the girl 1oated to me-. 1t con-
icerned the trip of the morrow. Would
the girl betray Bob's plan to gas the
camp? There vas q chance-a goot
! one-that she would not. She was {
lmoron-an adult with the brain OF
