Maybe tomorrow"

Don't hardly think I'll be here
Sunday. My plans aren't settled.
Thank you just the same, Miss
Crawford"
She took his words as direct re-
buff. There was little lump in her
throat that she had to get rid of be-
fore she spoke again.
Sorry. Perhaps some other
time" Joyce gave him her hand.
"Pm mighty glad to have seen you
again, Mr.. Sanders"
He bowed. THANK you"
After she had gone, Dave turned
swiftly to his friend. Where's the
nearest doctors office? Miller got
me in the shoulder"

To Crawford Dave made light of
his wound. 1t was only scratch.
"Tha's good, son. Crawford an

amin to do?"

ment of hesitation. Il want to learn
that business from the ground up.

Good enough, but don't you go
to playin' geology too strong, Dave.
Oil is where it's at"
II supospe it's a gamble" agreed
Sanders.
"Worse'n the cattle market" said
the owner of the d Bar Lazy r.
"Bob, you better put Dave on the
crew of that wildcat you're spuddin'
in, don't you reckon?'
"Pll put him on afternoon tower

geen intendin' to fire him soon as
could get good man"
"Pll drive out tonight and take
Dave with me, if he feels up to it,"
said Bob. "rhen wen know the
foreman keeps humpin'."
They drove out in the blackboard
behind the half-broken colts. The
young broncos went out Of town
to flying start. They raced across
the plain as hard as they could tear,
the light rig swaying behind them as
the wheels hit the hig spots.
The driver stopped at the location
of Jackpot Number Three.
Make yourself to home, Dave"
Family there came to them the
sound of an engine humping.
"Steelman's outfit" said Hart
gloomily. "Tis III old engine goes
right on kickin' all the darned time.
If she gets to oil first we lose. Man
who makes first discovery on a claim
wins out in this country"
"And Steelman won't stick at a
thing. Wouldn't trust him or any
or his crowd any further than
could sling bull by the tail. He'd

an appointment to meet him at Del
monieo's right now
Joyce was a young woman who
made swift decisions. "Ill 90 with
you" she said.
Sanders was standing in front of
the restaurant, but he was faced in
the other direction. His flat. mus
cular back was rigid. In his at
tltude was a certain tenseness, as
though his body was bundle of
steel springs ready to be released.
Bob's eye travelled swiftly past
him to a fat man rolling up the
street on the opposite sidewalk. "It's

heard he got out this week." he told
the girl in a low voice.
Joyce Crawford felt the blood ebb
from her face. 1t was as though her
heart had been drenched with ice
water. What was going to take
place between these men? We're
they armed?
She knew that each was respons-
lble for the others prison sentence.
Sanders had followed the thieves to
Denver and found them with his
horse. The fat crook had lied Dave
INTO the penitentiary by swearing
that the boy had fired the first shots.
Now they were Meeting for the first
time since.
Miller had been drinking. The sign
of the Delmonico had caught his eye
and he remembered chat he was
hungry
He took one step--and stopped. He
had recognized Sanders. His eyes
narrowed, The head on his short,
red neck was thrust forward. ~
"Goddlemighty" he screamed, and
next moment was plueking re-
volVer from under his left armpit.
Bob caught Joyce and swept her
behind him, covering her with his
body as best he could. At the same
time Sanders plunged forward, ar
row-straight and swift The revolver
cracked, 1t spat fire a second .time,
a third. The tiger-man, head low,
his whole splendid body virbant with
energy, hurled himself across the
road as though he had been flung
from a catapult. A streak of fire
ripped through his shoulder. An
other shot doomed almost sinful
taneously. He thudded hard into
the fat paunch of the gunman. They
went down together.
The fingers Of Dawes left hand
closed on the fat wrist of the
gambler His other hand tore the
revolver away from the slack grasp.
The gun rose and fell. Miller went
into Inconsistencies without even a
groan. The corrugated butt of the
gun had crashed down on his fore
head.
Dizzzily Sanders rose. He leaned
against a telephone pole for support.
care you hurt?" she asked.
Dave looked at Joyce, wondering
at her presence here. "He's the one
that's hurt" he answered quietly.
II thought was afraid" Her
voice died away. She felt her knees
grow weak. To her this man had ap-
peared to be plugging straight to
death.
No excitement in him reached the
surface. His remarkably steady
eyes still held their grim, hard tense
ness, but otherwise his self-control
was perfect. He wa sabsolutely i'm
perturbable.
"He was shootin' wild. Sorry you
were here, Miss Crawford" His eyes
swept the gathering crowd. You'd

Water Sports for New Workers

New York city has SIS miles OF
waterfront, of which about 200 miles
has been developed for commercial
purposes and about thirty miles
set apart for park purposes. MURRAY
HULBERT, President OF the Board OF
Aldermen, believes that part of the
remaining $50 miles of undevel-
oped waterfront should be de-
voted to recreational activities and
the encouragement OF water sports of
all kinds. With this idea in mind
he proposes to spend part OF his
vacation in studying the aquatic
recreations facilities of the cities
along the Great Lakes, both in this
country and in Canada; and he hopes
that on his return to New York he
will be able to make recommended
tions to the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment for the municipal de-
velopment Of yachting, motor boat
ing, rowing and canoeing.
Aside from the provisions made
for bathing and swimming. the res
ervation set apart on the .Harlem
River for the lighthouses of rowing
clubs, the landing basin at the Bat
terry for the use OF the small boats Of
yachts, and a landing stage on the
Riverside Drive front, the city of
New York has done practically moth
ing for the large number of men and
women among its citizens who are
al dent devotees Of yachting, boating
and canoeing. New Workers who
seek recreation on the water have
developed scores Of yachting and
boating centers at their own expense

Of the city through the increase Of

To THE New York HERALD: A pal

American lady, who is therein said to
have been made an "officer of the French
Academy" and who is then put in the
same category as Nine. Curie, the first
woman who has ever been admitted into
the French Academy. The mere fact
that this lady Is not a citizen of France
should have sufficed to show the inpos-
sibility of her being admitted as a mem

of the Academic Palms. The honor

March 1. 1908, as a means OF honoring
deserving and distinguished graduates
and officers Of the University of France
and OF its seventeen branches in various
cities of France. including one in AL
giers. which were and still are officially
known as academies" although they
would be called colleges in this country.
In 1856 the range of this honor was
extended outside academies and colleges
and 1t then really became decoration
while still retaining the same name, and
1t has since been given to writer's, scien-
lists, artists. and in general to persons
that have deserved recognition or re-

cause. more especially education, public
welfare. charity. philanthropy &c.

Mr.. Sibley's Artichokes.

A series of experiments in the
growth and use of artichokes, con-
Quoted on his River Ridge farm
at Franklin, Pennsylvania, has con-
yinced former Representative JOSEPH
c. SIBLEY that this vegetable has a
food and forage value which should
make it a much greater economic
factor than it is. AS 1t stands, the
artichoke is known merely as one OF
the less common vegetables. Mr..
SIBLEY believes it has great value for
growers of live stock, and that it may
also prove of great value as human
food. because IL has a much higher
protein content than the potato.
His experiments were made with
the artichoke developed several years
ago by French horticulturists from
the American Jerusalem artichoke,
and now known as the mammoth
French white Jerusalem artichoke.
The tuber was improved in size,

has found the following points in
favor OF greater recognition Of the
artichoke:
Horses, sheep and swine. without
exception, preferred the green stalks
OF the artichoke to green corn fodder.
Some cows did and others didn t.
Through the winter the tubers were
fed to the stock, and the horses pre-
ferred them to oats or corn, as did
the pigs and sheep. The artichoke
hay was also fed to them.
The average yield to the acre OF the
artichoke tuber is very high. Po-
tatoes average ninety-fve bushels t.
the acre in this country; this average
is lower than 1t should be. With his
artichokes Mr.. SrBLEY found he could
get yield OF about 1000 bushels 70
the acre. Probably not everybody
could do as we'll
He thinks that the artichoke can
be grown successfully in every State
and that II can be planted without
fear OF frost. It kills most OF the
weeds because Of the great density
OF its shade.
Mr.. SBLEY concludes that the arti-
choke must be rich in vitamines for
the reason that his sheep after a
