she let herself out of the window
and started down the rope, hand
over hand.
At that moment, an Indian at
tendant entered the room with some
food, and, seeing the table arrange
ment, quickly surmised that the
girl was making her escape He ran
to the window, climbed up and out
with surprising agility, and started
down after her. The weight OF
two people was too much for the
rope, and when Ruth was about 20
feet from the ground it broke, tum-
bling both of them to the earth. The
Indian recovered himself first and
started for the girl, but Ruth picked
up o. good sized rock and struck
him with it. With a moan, he sank
to the ground, stunned.
Ruth decided the best thih2Dto dc
would be to make a quick getaway
so she ran swiftly through the old
forest trail. She was almost out
of breath when she came to an
adobe hut. and looking cautiously
she started to enter when shout
caused her to hesitate. Her name
was being called. Recognizing
Pills voice, the girl answered and
they soon found the way to each
other. Stanton greeted Ruth joy
fully and Observation-Disclosures she
noted with pleasure-and she told
him of her escape from the hiding
place of the White Rider.

to Phil. Il really think / shall re-

for me-"

answered, a strange light in his

| At dawn Ruth and Phil entered
the corral and were about to mount
their horses when Henley, a cow
i puncher, ran up, saying that he had
strict orders not to allow them to
leave.
! who gave you those orders?''
Phil demanded.
THE boss gave 'em to me, that's
who" came the sullen answer.
! "He did? Well, you ought to
know by this time that his orders
aren't the only orders around here. u
! replied Stanton, attempting to push
the man aside.
Il can't let you past here" said
Henley, blocking the way.
Then I'm sorry IL l distrub you
but Miss Randolph has a train to
make, orders or no orders"
Before the surprised cowpunch-
er realized it, he lay sprawled out
on the ground, and Stanton and the
! girl were mounting horses.

terry" Phil said to the girl as they
dashed away.

He left the room through the pas

rode into the canyon the same way

and Phil came racing up just as the
train was pulling out The girl
just managed to get on the rear
platform of the last car. but the
train was already making too much
speed for Phil to get aboard. Stand
ing on the railroad track, he re-
luctantly waved farewell and
shouted to Ruth to go ahead with
out him.
But Stanton left the spot a mo-
ment too soon, for Henley and his
men dashed around the corner of
the station and saw the girl on the
train.
IF we- cut across the gulch we
can overtake her at the bend" he
cried, and digging spurs into his
horses side he shouted to the other
two riders to follow.
Meanwhile, Ruth seemed a pris-
oner on the rear platform of the
train. The door of the car was
locked and no matter how hard the
girl pounded, she could get no
answer AS the train reached the
bend, she saw Henley anu his men
approaching. With n shout they
urged their horses to more speed.
Nearing the rear platform. Henley
enceayored to seize the girl, but
she shrank to a corner OF the plat
form and redoubled her efforts to
get someone to open the door.
The two men were having hard
time to keep pace with the speeding
train, and Henley himself was hav-
al CC
enough, however, to gain a foothold
on the platform. Ruth guessed that
would be his next move. Then. for
the first time, she noticed the lad
der running to the roof of the car.

Concerning Apples.

The department of agriculture has
crowned Delaware with champion
ship wreath of apple blossoms. In
the number of apple trees to the
square mile in her orchards Delaware
leads all the other states. She has
548 apple trees to the square mile.
New York comes next with 287 trees.
Virginia is third with 255 trees, and
the State Of Washington, famous for
her apples, takes fourth rank in the
list with only 130 trees.
Throughout the country the num-
ber of apple trees seems to have re-
rnained about stationary during the
last decade. In six states there have
been large increases, totaling 2,491,-
2O9 trees, but these figures are offset
by heavy decreases in the northwest
end in the central western states.
In Washington and Oregon many
farm and home orchards have disap-
peared, and in the central west vari-
Gus foes have wrought much damage
to trees. These pests include the
borer, which perforates the trunk a
little above the ground; the woolly
sphis, which attacks the tender
shoots; the caterpillar, which devours
the leaves; the canker worm. the ap-
pie moth and other enemies, which
Lave almost ruined many fine CEN
trail western orchards. Statistics
covering the number Of trees de-
stroyed by these pests are not avail
able, but that the total would offset
increases elsewhere is probable.
In New England the apple output
las declined with other agricultural
products, which is to be lamented on
sentimental grounds if on no other.
For New England was the first Amer
lean home of the apple. Early set
tiers brought trees from England and
planted them on an island about three
miles out in Boston harbor, known
to this day as Apple Island. From
that starting point apple tree plant
ing spread. The Indians helped on
the good work and Indian orchards
became common. The fame of New
England apples spread all over the
world. Soon after Frederick Tudor
cf Boston began exporting ice to
pical countries in 1905 the expor-
lation of apples IS accompanying
calgoes followed. New England ap-
pies in prime condition were laid down
in all the ice markets of India, China
and South America, where they COM
manded quick sales at high prices.
The American apple still holds its
prestige the world over, but, alas, its
hcme price has SCARED to heights
painful to the plain American citizen.
