 Flandrau nodded. You still with the Hashknife?" he asked Davis.
 "Still with 'em. I've been raised to assistant foreman"
 Bully for you. That's great. All right, Mae. Pm coming. That's sure great. old hoss. Well, see you later. Slats."
 Flandrau followed Mac, dissatisfied with himself for leaving his friend so cavalierly. He guessed Slats would be hurt, but he had to think of his part ners in this enterprise.
 After supper they took room at the hotel and divided the money War ren had paid for the horses. None Of them had slept for the last fifty hours and Mac proposed to tumble into bed at once.
 Bad Bill shook his head. T wouldn't, Mac. Let's hit the trail and do our sleeping in the hills. There's too many telephone lines into this town to suit me-"
 "Shoi Our play isn't to hike out like we were scared stiff of some thing. What we want to do Is to act as If we could look every darned citi- zen in the face. Macs sure right" Curly agreed.
 You kids make me tired. I'm going to dust muy pronto." Blackwell snarled.
 "Sure. Whenever you like. You got to split up anyhow" Mac said.
 Bad Bill looked at Blackwell and nodded. That's right. We don't all want to pull a blue streak. That would be dead give away. Let the kids stay if they want to-"
 ''So as they can round on us if they're nabbed," Blackwell sneered.
 Cranston called him down roughly. "That'll be enough along that line. Lute. don't stand for any more cracks like it"
 Blackwell, not three months out from the penitentiary, faced the other with an ugly look in his eyes. He was always ready to quarrel, but he did not like to fight unless he had a sure thing.
 "Didn't mean any harm," the ex- convict growled. But don't like this sticking around town"
 "Then I wouldn't stay if I were you" Curly suggested promptly. Mac and l have got different no- tion. So we'll tie to Saguache for a day or two."
 As soon as the older men had gone the others tumbed into bed and fell asleep at once. Daylight was sitting In through the open window before their eyes opened. Somebody was pounding on the bedroom door.
 Mac was already out of bed when his partners feet hit the floor.
 "What's up. Mac"
 The eyes of the redheaded puncher gleamed with excitement His six gun was In his hand. By the look of him he was about ready to whang loose through the door.
 Hold your horses. you chump." Curly sang out Its the hotel clerk. l left call with him."
 That you, Curly? For Gods sake. let me in."
 Before he had got the words out the door was open. Slats came in and shut it behind him. He looked at F1andrau.
 They're after you" he said.

USlntegrated granite drifted to the bunkhouse.
 They're bringing the boss back, Buck announced from the door to one of his visitors
 The man joined him and looked over his shoulder. Miss Kate there toor
 "Yep. Say, if the old man don't pull through it will break her all up."
 The boy on the bed turned his face to the wall. He had not cried for ten years, but now he would have liked the relief of tears. A big lump rose in his throat and would not stay down. The irony of it was that he was staged for the part of gray wolf on the howl, while he felt more like a little child that has lost its last friend.
 After time there came again the crisp roll of wheels.
 "Doc Brown" announced Buck cas- ually to the other men in the bunk house.
 There was more than one anxious heart at the Circle c waiting for the verdict of the bowlegged, baldheaded little man with the satchel. but not one of them-no, not even Kate Gull Hson herself-was in a colder fear than Flandrau, for if Cullison should die he knew that he would follow him within few hours. These men would take no chances with the delays of the law.
 hA of fered more than once to look at Cur ly's arm. but the young man declined curtly. The bleeding had stopped, but there was a throb in 1t as if some one were twisting a redhot knife in the wound. After a time Doctor Brown showed up in the doorway of the mems quarters.
 Another patient hero, they tell me, :" he grunted in the brusque way that failed to conceal the kindest of hearts.
 Let's have look at your arm. young fellow" the doctor ordered.
 "What about the bossr' asked Jake presently.
 "Tell you more tomorrow morning" :"
 "Do you mean that he-that he may not get well?" Curly pumped out, his voice not quite steady.
 Doctor Brown looked at him curious ly. Somehow this boy did not fit the specifications of the desperado that had been poured into his ears.
 Don't know yet. Won't make any promises" He had been examining the wound in a businesslike way. Looks like the bullets still in there. Have to give you an anesthetic while ] dig it out"
 "Nothin' doing" retorted Flandrau. You round up the pill in there and I'll stand the grief. When this lead hypo- dermic jabbed into my arm 1t sorter gave me one of them annie-what-d d -ye- call-'em-and ones a-plenty for me-"
 'It'll hurt" the little man explained.
 Expect I'll find that out. Go to It"
 Brown had not been for thirty years carrying a medicine case across the dusty deserts of the frontier without learning to know men. He made no further protest but set to work.
 Twenty minutes later Curly lay back on the bunk with a sudden faintness. He was very white about the lips, but he had not once flinched from the in- struments.
 The prisoner glanced toward his guards and his voice fell to husky

THE DAILY NOVELETTE,
The Call
BY SOPHIA SMITH

A high-powered touring car purred
softly before the massive steps Of the
capitol. The little man in the tonneau
stared meditatively at the guard
stretching his legs back and forth be-
fore the car. Few people were abroad
that sleepy afternoon in August and no
one at all In the immediate vicinity
except Bolles, who, wheeling at the end
of his beat" glanced idly at the car
and suddenly stiffened. Winking be-
up and down the street. then reached
the car In a few quick strides. He peered
into the tonneau and underneath, then
hauled the DOING chauffeur halfway out
of his seat.

grumbled.
Bolles disappeared into the building
to shortly reappear after futile search
with the governors secretary-the car
was gone. Telephones and messengers
combined with police and reporters to
rouse the little town to such excite
ment as It had never before known and
in an hours time the whole state was
aware Of the mysterious abduction of
Governor Dexter Solon.
Why and how was he kidnapped was
the query spread upon the front page Of
every evening newspaper in the coun-

the peculiarly attractive and refresh

and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absorbs the nourishing

protects it from rain. 1t Is doubtful
whether any of these explanations is
true, the real reason most probably
being that the vitalizing dew cannot

PERU'S DRIFTING SAND DUNES
Plateau Shelf Has Strange Crescent
Shaped Formations That Are
Packed Hard.

AS one makes the ascent of the
Andes from the Pacific port of Mol
lendo, Peru, following the line of the
Southern of Peru railway, the climb
to the divide is broken by two great
steps or wldespreading shelves of des-
ert or pampa.
On the first of these steps. about
two hours steep climb from the sea,
and at an altitude of from four thou
sand to five thousand feet, are located
the famous drifting sand hills of Peru
The plateau is here about twenty
miles wide, the air thin and dry and
no trace of vegetation to be seen, only
these gigantic crescent-shaped sand
dunes dotting the pampa as far as
the eye can see.
Composed Of fine gray crystal sand,
they CLEAN white against the brown
of the desert, and their horns point
toward the prevailing south wind of
this region. They are from fifteen
to twenty feet in breadth across the
thick part Of the crescent and some
times one hundred feet from horn to
horn. So tightly is the sand packed
that the feet of the horses or mules
make little impression on 1t.
