Bullets Turned From Their Course

At a rifle meeting in Switzerland 1t
was discovered that the steel-jacketed
bullets of the marksmen were swerved
from their course by the influence of
telegraph and telephone wires running
alongside the range. Experiments were
then made at Thun by placing four
steel cables parallel with the range and
about forty yards distant from It and
sending n current of 5000 volts
through them. The effect, 1t is said.
was to turn the bullets so far from
their curse hat the deviation amount
ed TO "a yards IN a range of 2G0 yards.
The bullets on being taken from the
targets were found TO be magnetized.
Next, on an artillery range OF 5000
yards the electromagnetic influence
was generated 200 yards in front Of
the targets and 40 yards to one side.
The projectiles were swerved II de

 Are you ready?" Doble asked of the two men in the saddles.
 His brother said. Let 'cr Go!" San ders nodded. The revolver parked.
 Chiouito was off like . flash of light, found its stride instantly. Be- fore 1t had covered seycnty-five yards the pinto was three lengths to the good. Foot by foot the distance be- tween the horses lesscned to two lengths, to one, to half a length. The ugly head of the racer came abreast of the cowpuncher. With sickening certainty the range-rider knew that his Chiquito was doing the best that was in it. Whiskey Bill was faster horse.
 The halfway mark was just ahead. The cowpuncher knew exactly how to make the turn with the least pos sible loss of speed and ground. Scarce ly slackening speed, he swept the pinto round the clump of mesquite and was off for home.

 We have enormous forest areas where 1t will be necessary only to build narrow-gauge railways to pro duce some of the finest timber and paper pulp in the world" said M, Radoloff.

 Then he knew that the bay was running side by side with Chiquito. The two horses raced down the stretch together, Whiskey Bill half a length in the lead and gaining at every stride. Daylight showed be- tween them when they crossed the line Chiquito had been outrun by a speedier horse.

 The owner of the pony nodded. lump in his throat. He was not thinking about his thirty-f1ve dollars but about the futile race into which he had allowed his little beauty to be trapped. Dave would not be twenty one till coming grass, and it still hurt his boyish pride to think that his fla vorite had been beaten.
 The voice of George Doble cut in, openly and offensively jubilant I'll tell you now that broomtail never had a chance to beat Whiskey Bill

 The usual give-and take of gay repartee was missing at supper that night. What hurt was that they hao been trickcd, led like lambs to the killing. None of them doubted now that the pack-horse of the gamblers was ringer" These men had de- iberately crossed the path of the trail outfit in order to take from the vaqueros their money.

 Dave was at that moment return ing to his place with cup or not coffee. By some perverse2 trick or fate his glance fell on Doble's sinister face of malignant triumph.

 Swinging round to face Miller, Dave saw at once that the big man had chosen not to draw his gun, In spite of his fat the gambler was rough and-tumble fighter of parts. The ex- tra weight had come in recent years, but underneath 1t lay roped muscles and heavy bones.
 Instantly Dave plunged at him,
