Lexington gave the word. The
guide took orders from old Flu All. who
rode high up. his wrinkled and SCARED
vIsage further complicated by the pres

heartbeat Independent of his white
princess. For the sake of speed. the
sister. who was somewhat heavy. was
separately mounted. Helen rode
alone. as did Lexington. The wind
was in their faces.

his garments. Flying sand stung his
cheeks familiarly. Helen's head was
bowed in silent agony. 1t seemed
that the fierce, vengeful hands of the
miners pulled at his heart.

world, the ancient mysterious city

Heien's ORDEAL.

Helen, in her great heaviness Of
heart, stared down at nothing. Flu
All gave up the task of comforting
her. at the request of his sister, who
rode close beside the princess. Fansa's
attention was in fact sorely di
vided between the marvels of an un
known world and the sorrows of her
mistress. The Mongolian driver showed
Lexington into the lead, and the white
man was alternately alarmed and JOY
GUS. He looked back often. and his
nerves crawled each time he fancied
puff OF dust in the south.
His best friend was gone, where
he had wished to go. Con saw what
had been in Andrew March's mind
when he told Of the seed-poIson that

body. Con was not holding that against

Helen seemed to live In dull
tangle of pain. She rode with eyes
closed Trimming prescribed thoughts

who had mastered the path tos her lof-

mans form Of sleep. The shock of his
death brought heaviuess that was
uncomfortable. new destiny dropping
down about her like cloak. But
oddly. the images that passed before
her vision were not of Andrew March.
He was but the background.
She was thinking of Chez Ming, the
brutal marks upon his head in that
last moment. his dignity In rage. the
magnitude of his defeat. Pictures of
his kindness came again and again

he had brought for her the pretty
things of the world. Once he had
laughed outright when a golden butter

IRRIGATION WATER Is
TURNED INTO WEALTH

Among recent crop returns an
nounced in the PrOsser district are
the following: Two acres of grapes
owned by 0. S. Larson, gross returns
$2400; four acres Concord grapes
owned by Mrs. George Finn, gross re-
turns $4,000; 20 acres of potatoes
owned by John Wise yielded 10 1-2
tons an acre and sold at $40 ton,
gross proceeds $3.50 an acre. The
foregoing serves to explain why the
official government crop returns under
the Sunnyside canal, which serves the
Prosser district, showed an average
income of $102 an acre in 1918, $167
an acre in 1919 and sos in 1920 The
1921 crop is estimated at $125 an acre
despite the low price of hay and corn,
