nrruserr aEnInst the wan. Out of the dead silence the sound came again. A grin loosened his face. The very sound he had half eXpected--a horse cOntentedly munching his hay.
 The Pe&rlhunter came out from deeper into the blackness of the pass age. It abruptly widened until he was no longer able to reach from one wall 10 the other with his outstretched arms. Though denied the use of hls eyes, he knew that the passage broad ly expanded just there and became a cave. He stood in the very entrance of 1t.
 The next step-there was no help for it-light! Desperate and danger ous-the first spark, and the cave might spring to life. Stlll, 1t was bet ter than to stumble over a sleeping man; or walk into knife. With his revolver balanced, his face to the open cave, he reached his left hand along the wall to the farthest stretch of his arm, bringing his body as far as possl- ble from the light, and with his tin- gers fumbled out a spot suitably smooth and dry-for there must be no failure. The match scraped. A tiny flame leaped away from the rock. It lighted up the place surprisingly.
 The cave was not large-hardly twice the size of m ordinary room. The first swift glance showed him that except for the hOrse-lt was empty.
 The stub of a candle caught his eye, stuck by It's own tallow to an out standing stool of shale just beyond the mouth of the passage. He crossed the passage and held the match to the wick. In the better light he studied the place more closely.
 The cave could not have been far below the ground, for an oak root had found its way through the wall. It was to this that the horse was tied.
 For moment he was strongly tempted to stay where he was till his prey returned the following night and then rid the Flatwoods of him, and trust what evidence he already had to prove his case.
 But better plan had been forming ever since he came into the cave, and there was much yet to be done; though the cave would have made good hid Ing place during the coming day-al- ways provided the bandidt did not chance to return before his time,
 Selecting q spot that he judged to be about right for the take-oif, he leaped

Gas Gets the Rats,

An enemy whose activities do not
figure In the official reports but against
which allied soldiers wage daily a
fare is the rat. Tens of thousands Of
rats, huge, ~sharp-fanged fighters, have
dug themselves in among the billets
and trenches In France and Flanders
and they are a constant torment
Thanks to modern medical science
there has been little or no disease
communicated by the rodents. Rats
multiply rapidly in the trenches and
thrive well. They steal the soldiers
r%ations, disturb his rest and ~spitefully
bite him when he offers resistance. The
pest is hunted with ~ferrets, terriers,
poison and traps and when partlcu-
larly numerous given a gas attack.
After the trenches are drenched with
gas they are generally clear Of rats
for q long period.

tinued. The county commissioners of
Teller and Fremont counties were
equal to the occasion; with the coop
Grafton Of the state highway commits
sion they secured the right Of way,
and then they set about to convert 1t
into q real highway.
Built on Old Railroad Line.
Probably 81, 100000 vas the original
cost of building this roadbed, miles of
which were cut and blasted from solid
granite. At an expense Of $4,000, the
road builders have made of 1t a first
class motor highway, rebuilt and re-
paired bridges, widened the roadbed
where necessary, and generally put
the 81 miles in excellent condition.
While the road Is almost q continuous
curve, mile after mile, 1t is wide
enough at most places for cars to pass,
and ordinarily careful driving Is all
that Is necessary. 1t is built or a Az
per cent grade.
It is a wonderful ride from the
world.famous Cripple Creek mining
district through Phantom Canon to
Canon City and Florence. For the
first few miles out Of Victor the road
stays on the top of the ridge, with
long-distance views of Pixies Peak, the
Sangre de Christie and other snow
capped mountain ranges. Then 1t
loops It's way down into the canyon.
Granite Walls and Deep Cuts.
Rugged granite walls stand like tow
ers Of many ancient ruins. The road
winds along the base of these mighty
cliffs, often through great cuts be-
tween high granite piles, occasionally
crossing the ravine on a solid steel
bridge, and even piercing the noun
tCin sides through tunnels blackened
in bygone days by the smoke of the
locomotive that no longer sounds its
shrill whistle to the echo Of the nar-
row walls from which the canyonI
took its name. After a serpentine de
scent of 20 miles the road comes out
onto the broad plains and sOon Is
making its way past great apple or.
cl0rf's and fertile fields to the twin
cites Of Florence and Canon City.

USED ELECTRICIANS
cIeopatra's Court Physician Known to
Have Prescribed Them for Med ,
ical Purposes.

The electric ray Is Il species Of Ash
found on the Pacific coast. It Is
known from central California south
ward to the Santa Barbara channel
and is very common in Monterey
bay. :
This fish Is provided with an electric
organ composed OF %hexagonal cells,
reaching from the skin Of the upper
surface to that of the lower, and stu
ated mt each side Of the head and gill
chambers. The electricity discharged
from this ray has the properties Of
other electricity, such as rendering an
iron bar magnetic, decomposlng chem
lcnls and producing a spark.
Stories vary as to the volume OF
the discharge, but ever n small ray
is capable Of inficting considerable
pain, After II few discharges the fish
becomes exhausted and must rest be-
fore it's electric organs are again func-
tiOnal.
1t Is of interest to note that the first
record we have Of the application OF
electricity Is of the time of Antony
and Cleopatra, whose court physician
recommended the electricity Of an cleo
trio ray for medical purposes. especial.
ly for pains in the head. Later 1t was
prescribed for the cure OF gout.-Amer-

Patriotic Honey Bees,

1t Is stated as a curious fact that
the honey bee is this season doing
more than its usual share in provid-
ing a substitute for sugar. An East
side resident of Rochester, N. Y, who
has succeeded measurably in keeping
bees without undue annoyance to his
%nelghbors. reports that none Of his
colonies have swarmed thus far this
season, and that they are producing
honey in great abundance. This is
cheerful news in view of the fact that

sugar per month for each person la

TNHE Phantom Canyon highway
between Cripple Creek and
Canon City, Colo, is now
open to travel, and rs a re-
suit Colorado offers to the motorist
Dnother great circle trip through some
CT Americas finest scenery. The
highway vas formally dedicated on
August 30, when more than 500 motor
lists from Teller, Fremont, FL Paso
and other Colorado counties gathered
at G%lenbrook, u point midway between
Cripple Creek and Canon City, and
participated in the ceremonies incl
dent to the opening Of this road.
Phantom Canon highway is unique
among the scenic roads of the Rocky
mountains, and It's story is n of the
most interesting chapters in the his
tory of road building in Colorado. In
the early days OF Cripple Creek, there
was built the Florence and Cripple
Creek railroad, a narrow-gauge line,
to carry the rich ores to the shelters
and to bring the fruit, hay and other
products of the fertile valleys to the
mining camps high In the hills. AS
time went on the need for this road
grew less and less, until finally 1t was
abandoned and d%ismantled. But the

FIELD FOR BREEDING
STOCK IN ARGENTINA
Outlet Offered for Animals Of
Highest Quality.
Indications Are That Good individuals
Of Various Breeds Of Swine VIII
BE sought-chance to De-
veIop Trade.

That Argentina at this time presents
a particularly good field for marketing
cattle and sheep is emphasized In re-
cent report by representatives of the
bureau of markets, United States de-
partment Of agriculture, who have
made a personal investigation of the
livestock market In several South
American countries The fact that the
market Is open to the very highest
class Of trade offers an opportunity to
dispose Of surplus first-grade breeding
stock. In the swine industry some
work In the matter of developing a
demand will be necessary, but the ex.
perience Of the Argentine stock raiser,
in importing high-grade sheep and
cattle. would indicate that good indi.
vidual animals Of various breeds Of
swine will be sought.
Decidedly keen competition between
England and any other country export
ing cattle to Argentina Is to be ex-
pected, the investigators state. The
necessity Of sending the best animals
to the Argentine trade cannot be too
strongly emphasized. for competition
which extends even farther than the
importation Of the Individual animals
can be successful only on this basis.
Any animal sent to Argentina should
be selected with view to Its influence
on future trade as well rs its immedi.
ate effect. Naturally quality Will de-
termine the ultimate status Of any
purebred export business II the best
pure-bred animals from the United
states are sent to Argentine. the OBJ
stacies may be overcome and a trade
developed. The market In Argentina
ID large enough for all, and offers a IA.
vorable outlet for surplus animals Of
good quality In the United States.
