Hunt Secret of
Youth in Tibet

that the priests posses the secret for
Which Ponce de Leon fought in vain.
Whether there is any nth in the he.
lief is one of the thinen in which the
mission Is interested.
Another matter the mission pro
poses to investigate is the belief that
Iibetan monasteries contain books
written thousands of years before the
art of letters was introduced into the
western world
1t has been rumored that In som,
of these monasteries, where no white
man has ever been allowed to enter
are rare volumes written shortly after
the great food, giving nm authentic ac.
count OF the great deluge. Thus fai
the white world has been compelled t.
rely upon the Jewish legend contained
IN the Bible and the legends of Other
peoples.
Wealth in Libraries.
London Is confident the inyestiya
tors will find material Of great i'm
portance in the libraries. records

Whether or not the mission will nc

welcomed Intrusion from the outside
world. A few short years ago II white
man took his life into his hands to
visit the country.
In the last few years, however, the
attitude of the country has changed
slightly, perhaps on account of Great
Britaln's invasion
One thing which will be In favor

mission Is tie fact that all connected

The members of the mission are not

that Tibet allows itself to be "inyes.

He found no Ba'tiste but there was
something else which held Houston S
interest for a moment and which
stopped him, staring wonderingly
into the distance. A new skidway
had made its appearance on the side
of the jutting mountain nearest the
dam. Logs were tumbling downward
in slow, but steady succession, to
disappear, then to show themselves,
bobbing jerkingly outward toward the
center of the lake. A thunderous
voice was booming belligerently from
the distance:

Canadian merely waved big hand.

cat the mill? l wish you'd guard
it for me. I'm going to Denver on
the morning train to hire a new crew.
''Ah, oui. 1t shall be-"
The next evening brought Barry to
Denver, and the three days which
followed carried with them the
sweaty smell of the employment
offices and the gathering of a new
crew. Then, tired, anxious with an
eagerness that he never before had
known, he turned back to the hills.
With his rough-faced men about
him, Houston reached Tabernacle,
and started the journey to the mill.
Into the canon and to the last rise.
Then a figure showed before him, a
gigantic form, running and tumbling
through the underbrush at one side
of the road, dog bounding beside
him. 1t was Ba'tiste, excited, red
faced, his arms waving like wind
mills, his voice booming even from
distance:
"M'sieu Houston! M'sieu Houston
Ba'teese have fail! Bateese no good
He watch for you-he is glad you
come! Ba'teese ashame'! Ashamed
They had reached the top of the
rise. Below them lay something
which caused Barry Houston to leap
to his feet unmindful of the jolting
wagon, to stand weaving with white
gripped hands, to stare with suddenly
deadened eyes
Upon a blackened, smoldering mass
of charred timbers and twisted ma
chinery. The remainder of all that
once had been his mill!

Get was my fault" The French
Canadian still stared at the ruins.
"Eet is all Ba'teese' fault"

"Sacre! / am"
"Then show it! I've got about
fifteen thousand in the bank. There's
enough lumber around here to build
new saw-shed, and money to buy a
few saws. And | need help-I won't
be able to move without you. But
"Oui?"
But" and Barry smiled at him,
''if you ever mention any RESPONSE
bility for this thing again you're
fired. Do we understand each other?'
The next morning Barry went to
Denver, and in a week returned to
Tabernacle, thence across country to
camp.

water. and our lake, and our woods
back there. And we're going to use
all of EN-, as much as we please
and it's your business to stay out oil
our way."
CHAPTER VIII
The statement took Houston off
his feet for a moment; but recovery
came just as quickly, a recoil with
the red splotches of anger blazing
before his eyes, the surge of hot
blood sweeping through his veins, the
heat of conflict in his brain. His
good hand clenched. A leap and he
had struck the foreman on the point
of the chin, sending him reeling back
ward, while the other men rushed to
his assistance.
That's my answer to you"
shouted Houston.
Run tell Thayerw shouted the
foreman, and then with recovering
strength, he turned for a cant hook.
But Ba'tiste seized it first.
Here comes somebody Ba 'tiste s
grip frightened about the cant hook
and he rose, squaring himself. Hous-
ton seized the club and stood waiting
few feet in the rear, in readiness
for anyone who might evade the bull
wark of blows which Ba'tiste evident
ly intended to set up.
A moment more, and Ba'tiste, with
sudden exclamation, allowed his
cant hook to drop to the Sround.
Get is Thayer and Wade, the
sheriff from Montview, and his
deputy. Peuff! Have he fool heem
too?"
The sheriff pulled two legal docu-
ments from his pocket, and unfold
ing them, had shown Houston the bot
tom of each. Barry's eyes opened
wide.
That's = that's my signature,
came at last:
This ones the same, isn't it?'
The second paper was showed for

the road as it followed the flume, and
