Dust had wiped out every color.
Sand flew in the air, but the wind was
steady and silent, The seven women
who emerged from their dwellings TO
look upon Lexington, were wasted of
body and blank OF face. II was dis
tressing to remember that once, about
eighteen years ago, Andrew March
had travelled into this border-land with
his Eithna. and that In some such un-
holy quarters off to the southwest her
child had been born. These Mongoloid
youngsters did not seem human
They stared at him without uttering
a sound, and flung mud. Con felt no
triumph In his arrival
No traveller had passed this way for
sixteen moons. Lexington spent the
afternoon In learning this fag-end Of
information. The last had gone the
other way, eastward, probably Chez
Ming on his way to America, but by
no possible combination OF sound and
sign could Con make sure Of this.
Eagerly, now, he opened the envelop
given him In the March house. He
never knew how much pure fiber he
had gained by his difficult honesty In
this matter. The document was:
you have passed all the places in
which the truth might have burdened
you, and, as the prime uncertainties
are Just ahead, you will burn this as
soon as you have read.
"You share a federal commission
with me. and our country does not

On the Right Foot

II was impossible 10 guess wha,
Chez Ming thought II he had been
holding any suspicion against the
white man who had ridden with him
from the Yang-gun gate. II was now
insured by March's hand-clasp with
Lexington.
i've been waiting for our friend
Ming, but I hardly expected to see
you" said Con.

smiling. But why waitingT
"He was on the ship coming over"
said Con. "He put me under with a
blow-needle. and got my map. beat
him this far by two days, just to have
q talk with him about It."
"Ah, yes" said March.
"Or I figured I might ride on with
him." added Lexington.
THAT was all right But you will
not need the map and we can allow
him to 90 his way alone. I did not
expect to pick you up 30 soon" There
was a shadow over Lexington. and the
elder man felt II quickly. He hasten
ed to add: Nothing wrong boy. Only
could not tell you that should be
just few days behind you all the way.

murder to send one man alone, out

that tomorrow morning his compan-

that he would not be with them. The

TRIPS TO BARRE
PROVE EXCITING
TO TURNER
st. Johnsbury Salesman Will
Recover From Being Hit
BY Train

John w. Turner of st. JohnSbury,
sale man for the A. f. Cox and Son
OF Portland, Me-, who was struck BY
q train on the Central Vermont rail
road between Barre and Montpelier
as told in yesterdays paper, bears a
charmed life. 1t is his second narrow
escape from fatal in jury while max
irg u trip to Barre to visit his Gus
toners there.
Reports from the Heaton hospital
today indicated that he was imprOv
in%~and unless inetrnal complications
develop he will recover having suffer
ed Il broken left leg and. many
nlinol bruises. The fact that Turner
got out of the driving seat and
Vas thrown through the top of his
Dodge roadster saved him from in
slant death.
Paul plaisted and Cecil Snetsingcr
o. Montpelier, two young men who
were riding in the car Immediately
behind the engine, say they saw the
engine when it struck the auto and
declared the car turned a complete
somersault backwards and landed
UPRIGHT in the ditch. Meanwhile MI.
Turner had been thrust through the
auto top which happened to be up.
The side opposite the stearing gear
or right side of the machine, was
the part to come in contact with the
COW catcher of the train. This part
OF the automobile was jammed back
into the engine and parts of the en-
ginc were broken Of. The radiator,
rims of the lights, and the right
mudguard were found about 20 feet
fl ON the car. The front axle was
almost doubled up, the windshield
shattered so. that two small pieces no
larger than half dollar clung to the
frame that was doubled down over
where the hood used to be. The rear
left wheel was completely demolsh-
ed the gasoline tank jammed and the
rear axle sprung slightly.
The two young men mentioned in
connection with the accident, Messrs.
/ plaisted and Snetsingei, say they
beard no whistle blown by the engin-
.ei though sitting in the first coach
behind the engine, but declared it
night have been unheeded by them
This was Mr.. Turner's second visit
Barre in the interest of his com
oany and proved slightly more seri-
)u9 than his first visit there last win
ter.
At that time he figured in lively
lnaway from South Barre to the
Central Vermont depot A horse and
sleigh had been hired at n local livery
stable and his journey to Granite
vile and Websterville was made
safely. Upon returning, the sleigh
struck the heels of the animal as it
wa. hitched too close, with the result
that the 1900 pound horse took ad
vantage of the unskilled driver and
bched towards home. Turner cleared
South Main street bridge safely and
headed the horse up Hill street, plan
ming to tire the horse by the steep
hill. But once on the hill he had to
descend ard the same thing occurred
The horse dashing down Washington
street and then to North Main street
whore MI. Turner succeeded in turn
ing him back into the square near
Coilin's blacksmith shop, being un-
harmed.
