According to present reports from

leading one for most people. That is
why there will be a glad sigh of relief

Good Use for Airplanes.

Thirty. three per cent of the 1876
forest fires sighted and reported last
year by airplanes operated from Sac
ramento, Cal, by the United States
forest service, were located within a
quarter of a mile of the exact place,
as was later determined by actual
surveys on the ground. Ten per cent
of the total number of fires was dis
covered by the air patrol before the
rangers were aware of them. Forty
two per cent was reported by radio,
while planes We're i'm the air. Besides
acting rs reporters. the planes were
used 10 direct fire fighting operations

ported that the fire had broken away,

and unreal In the mist that was creep

the curious humping sound as Grams

Nothing mattered further. He had

a terrific punishment; but Dams was
weakened from the ravages OF his
disease. Besides. Cranston would soon
have both hands and both feet free for
the work, and when these four ter
rible weapons are used at once, the
issue-soon or late-can never be in
doubt.
But ven now, consciousness still
fingered. Dan could hear his enemy's

another, stranger sound. 1t sounded
like some one running.
And then he dlmly knew that Gran

Voices were speaking-qulck, COM

Cranston's savage curses another voice

not been sudden mercy that had driven
Cranston from his body, just when his

When the word home" is men

the intense interest of most people.
For uppermost in the minds of hun
dredS of thousands is the question Of
where they are going to live. Build
ing has been at a standStill since be-
fore the war. Rents have been soar
ing until they have reached a point
where many cannot pay. Naturally
they turn to the thought which they
had ignored years before, viz, that
of buying or building a home. Once
established in a house Of their own,
creased rents, etc, cease. And in
view OF the shortage existing today
more people than ever before are Civ
ing the idea of building a "home Of
your own" very serious consideration.
A man who owns his home is not Ii
able to become a BolsheviSt, on the
contrary he is more than liable to be-
come a very serious-minded citizen
taking an active interest in civic af-
fairs and jealousy guarding the inter-
ests of his community. No one ever
went to war over a boarding house,
but men all through the centuries
have died defending their homes.
That is the beauty of home ownership,
that is the feature that makes it es-
sential to the continued welfare and
progress of any nation.

that can he used in home construction.

CHAPTER III.

Dan Failing was really not badly

Inconsistencies that had been falling
over him were more nearly the result
of his own tremendous physical ex-

still remained. as hers was then. All
the lovely tints that had been such a
delight to him. the play of soft reds
and browns, had faded as an after
glow fades on the snow.
Dams glances moved with hers to
Cranston. He was standing easily at
a distance of a dozen feet; and except
for the faintest tremble all over his
body, a muscular reaction from the
violence of his passion, he had entire
ly regained his self-composure. This
was quite characteristic of the noun
tain men. They share with the beasts
a passion of living that is wholly un-
known on the plains hut yet they have
a certain quality of imperturbability
known nowhere else. Nor is 1t limited
to the native-born mou~ntaineers. No

who go to the north woods every fall,

and his eyes did not waver In the
least. 1t would not be the truth TO say
that his heart was not leaplng like
a wild thing In his breast. A dark
mist was spreading like madness over
his brain but yet he was striving to
keep Ids thoughts clear. S%tealthily,
without seeming to do so, he was set
ting his muscles for a spring.
The only answer 10 his words was
a laugtt-a roaring laugh of scorn
from Cranston's dark lips. In his
laughter, his intent, catlike vigilance
relaxed. Dan saw a chance; feeble
though 1t was, II was the only chance
he had. And his long body leaped like
a serpent through the air.
Physical superior though he was.
Cranston would have repealed the at
tack with his rifle II he had had a
chance. His blood was already at
the murder heat-a point always
quickly reached In Cranston-and the
dark, hot fumes In his brain were
simply nothing more nor less than the
most poisonous, bitter hatred. No
other word exists. If his class Of de-
generate mountain men had no other
accomplishment, they could hate. All
their lives they practlced the emotion I:
hatred Of their neighbors, hatred Of
law, hatred Of civilization In all it's
forms. Besides. this kind of hillman'
habitually fought his duels with rifles.
Hands were not deadly enough.
But Dan was past his guard before
he had time to raise his gun. The
whole attack WIS one of the most
astounding surprises of Cranston's life.
Dams body struck his, his fists failed,
and TO protect himself, Cranston was
obliged to drop the rifle. They stag

a clinch.

This was a sport once popular In
England. but declared illegal in 1885.
A bull was attacked by dogs. and
sometimes the nostrils of the bull were
blown full of pepper to increase his
fury. Another form of the sport was
to fasten the bull to a stake by a long
rope and then set bulldogs at him, one
at a time. which were trained to seize
the bull by the nose. The bulldog
seems TO have been developed for this
