! examination, not of Gardeners room,
but of the one i'm which Allan WAS w.
ing. He was rewarded by finding the
llttle slip of paper, with a few crys-
tails of powder still clinging to it. The
coroner examined the crystals through
ms magnifying glass; then, somewhat
obviously, raised them on a moistened
finger to his tongue, and after mo-
ments hesitation swallowed in an i'm
pressive, scholarly fashion.
"Saccharum album" he exclaimed
common white sugar! Most extraor-
dinary!"
But Sergeant Grey was at the open
window. 1t was only an eight-foOt
drop TO the soft earth, and to the po-
ilceman there was no longer any mys-
terry In Gardeners disappearance. The
mock suicide was a carefulIy-planned
ruse to be employed by Gardiner if the
worst came to the worst.
Il want all of you men, and a horse
for EACH" said Grey, quickly, turning
upon them like a general marshaling
his officers. There are a dozen differ
ent trails he may follow, and we must
put man on each. l will give imme-
date pursuit, in the hope of riding
him down before he can throw us Off
the scent and l will leave 1t to you.
Mr.. Arthurs, to organize the posse and
scour the whole country until he is To-
Gated"
Grey knew that the main road, IL
followed far enough, dwindled into a
pack trail, which i'm turn seemed to lose
itself in the Businesses of the noun
tains, but in reality opened into a pass
leading through the range. He gave
Gardiner credit for knowing as much,
and concluded that the fugitive would
make bolt straight through the
mountains.
An hours hard riding brought him
into a tremendously rough country,
where the trail at times was nothing
more than narrow defile or ledge,
and sheer walls of rock rose thou
sands of feet above. their giant edges
cutting the blue sky like the teeth of
n mighty saw. Far below, a ribbon of
green and white, the river rolled in its
canyon. Here and there a thin stream
OF water sprayed down the mountain
side, cutting damp, treacherous belt
across the trail. But at one such spot
Grey's heart leaped within him, for
there. Enthusiastically clear in the thin
soil and soft rock, were the marks of
a horses shoe, not an hour old. A
few minutes later he saw Gardiner
swinging round spur of rock half a
mile further up the pass.
Suddenly, at turn i'm the path, his
eye caught a sight which made him
throw his horse back on his tracks. A
sheer precipice fell away a thousand |
feet below him, and beetling cliffs cut
off the sky above. Across the path |
-rickled little stream. And there in |
he stream, so clear they could not be |
were the marks cut by a
lorse's feet sliding over the preci-
Dice.
The policeman dismounted carefully.
There was scarcely room for him to
BASS his horse on the narrow ledge.
Where the stream had worn it 1t
'loped dOwnwards at an uncomforta-
lie angle. He knelt beside it and
raced the marks of the shoe-calks
With his finger. They led over the
'dge. Eighteen inches down the
mountain side was fresh scar where
teel had struck projecting corner Of
ock.
A thousand feet below the green
water slid and swirled in the bed Of
he canyon.

GLORY BELONGS TO PIONEER
Man Recognized as the First to Do
Things Is Sure Of Recognition
Of Posterity.

Adams glory was in being the first
man, and Ewes in being the first
woman. They have been talked of
through all the centuries for nothing
except that they were the first to live,
the first to be tempted and the first
to fall.
And so it Is with many other per-
sons and events that find their places
IN history. Always it is. the begin
nings of things that shed glory on the
participants. Christopher Columbus
has just been honored again because
he was the first to discover America,
and the landing of the Pilgrims is
celebrated because they were the first
to COLOMBO Massachusetts. Harvard
rejoices in being the first institution
of learning In what is now the United
States and having set up the first
printing press. The first settlers of
any community are always persons of
prime interest, and the first man to
wear pantaloons or carry an umbrella,
II he were living today, could coin
money by putting himSelf on exhi-
bition.
II one wants to be remembered one
has only to pick out the spot where
great city is to be built, or connect
himself with an industry that IL
bound to grow, or do something that
Is bound to become the fashion. He
is at once immortalized. Generation
after generation will speak his name
ana on anniversary occasions orators
will sound his praise. He may be in
no greater than thousands
who have come after, but the glory
Of having been the first will be upon
him forever and a day.-Columbus
