SEWAGE SYSTEM
FOR SOUTH END
MOLINE FAVORED
Especial Moline service1

Members of the city council, the
board of local improvements and a
committee representing property
owners in the southwest section of
Moline discussed the question of
permanent sewage facilities for the
southwest section.
The city officials favored the i'm
provement, but feel that the pro-
posed system should take care of
the entire south end of the city. The
only feasible outlet of the proposed
system is Rock river, and the cost
OF the Improvement would be pro-
hibitive if provided for only the
residents in the southwest A sys
TEN for the entire southern part of
the city, it is believed, would be less
of a burden to the individual prop
erty owners in the matter of assess
mentS.
The board of local improvements
will not consider the project until
the 1922 pavement jobs are COM
pleted

GO ON WITH THE STORY.
CHAPTER TX.

The pursuit took the riders
across wide, undulating plain
above which danced the dry heat
of the desert Lizards summed
themselves on fat rocks. A rattle
snake slid toward the cover of a
prickly pear. The bleached bones
uf COW shone white beside the
trail.
No use, Bob" said Dave. while
they were cooking supper. They've
made their getaway. Might as well
drift back to Malapi, don't you
reckon?"
At the Delmonico restaurant they
found Buck Byington and Steve
Russell. The trail herd had been
driven in an hour before.
"Dug's payin' off today, boys -
Russell told them. You'll ind
him round to the Boston Empo-
rum"
The foreman settled first with
Hart, after which he turned to the
page in his pocket notebook that
held the account of Sanders.
He stopped to look down sar-
castically at the new boots Sanders
was wearing.
Il see you've bought you a new
pair of boots" he said in a heavy,
domineering voice.
The big fellow laid a paper on
the breast of the cowpuncher
Here's a bill for a pair of boots
you charged to the old mans ac-
eighteen dollars. l got il
Just now at the store. You'll dig
up"
1t was the custom for riders who
came to town to have the supplies
they needed charged to their en-
ployers against wages due them
Doble took it for granted that San
ders had done this, which was con-
trary to the orders he had given
his outfit. He did not know the
young man had lost his boots while
rescuing Crawford and had been
authorized by him to get another
pair in place of them
Nor did Dave intend to tell him.
Here was a chance to even the
score against the foreman.
See you later!" he shouted, and
leaped into his saddle.
The foreman wasted no breath in
futile rage. He strode to the near
est hitching-post and his horses
hoofs pounded down the road in
pursuit.
Sanders was riding the same
bronco he had used to follow the
horsethieves. 1t had been under a
saddle most of the time for a week
and was far from fresh. Before he
had gone a mile he knew that the
foreman would catch up with him.
He was riding for Gunsight Pass.
1t was necessary to get there be-
fore Doble reached him Other
wise he would have to surrender or
fight, and neither of these fitted in
with his plans.
By the time the foreman showed
against the skyline at the entrance
to the pass the younger man had
disappeared.
The D Bar Lazy r foreman found
ont at once what had become of
him. A crisp voice gave clear di-
rections.
"ThatII be far enough. Stop
right where you're at or you'll no.
tice trouble pop"
The words came, it seemed to
Doble, out of the air. He looked
up. Two great boulders lay edge
to edge beside the path. Through
a narrow rift the blue nose of a

the crooks who stole it could laugh
at him
The way to recover flashed to his
brain like a wave of light He

TO do was to steal his own horse

across the Platte into North DEN

corral close to the railroad tracks.
He turned in to look over the
horses.

Dave did not know, but he intend
ed to be aboard that freight when
it pulled out for the mile-high town
in Colorado.
A middle-aged man in wrinkled
corduroys and a pinched-in white
hat drove up to the fence. How re

An hour later he was in the ca
boose of a cattle train rolling east

through Squalid residence sections,
warehouses, and small manufac-
