CHAPTER XVI
Mountain Sheep.

MOUNTAIN SneeP.
What Gale might have thought an
appalling situation, If considered from
a safe and comfortable home away
from the desert, became, now that he
was shut in by the red-ribbed lava
walls and great dry wastes. matter
calmly accepted as inevitable. So he
imagined it was accepted by the 9TH
ers. Not even Mercedes uttered a
regret. No wordswas spoken Of, home.
If there was thought of loved ones,
it was locked deep in their minds.
By tacit agreement Ladd again be-
came the leader Of the party. The
first thing he asked was to have the
store Of food that remained spread
out upon tarpaulin. Assuredly, it
was a slender enough supply. 1t was
impossible to read the gravity of
Ladd's face, for he still looked like
a dead man, but the slow shake of his
head told Gale much. There was a
grain of hope, however, in the signifi-
canoe with which he touched the bags
of salt and said, ashore it was sense
packin' all that salt!"
Then he turned to face his COM
rades.
''That's little grub for six starvin'
people corralled in the desert. But
the grub end amt worryin' me. Yaqui
can get sheep up the slopes. Water
That's the beginnin' an middle an
end of our case"
"Laddy, reckon the waterhole here
never goes dry" replied Jim.
"Ask the Indian"
Upon being questioned, Yaqui spoke
of the dreaded ano seco Of the Mexi-
cans. In a dry year this waterhole
failed.
"Dick, take rope an see how much
waters In the hole.'
Gale could not find bottom with a
thirty-foot lasso. The water was as
COOL. clear, sweet as if it had been
kept in shaded iron receptacle.
Ladd welcomed this information
with. surprise and gladness. Lets
see. Last year was shore pretty dry.
Mebbe this summer won't be. Mebbe
our wonderful good luck'll hold. Ask
Yaqui If ne thinks it'll rain."
Mercedes questioned the Indian.
''He says no man can tell surely.
But he thinks the rain will come" she
replied. g. -
ashore it'll rain, you can gamble
on that now,"; continued Ladd. "If
there's only grass for the hosses! We
can't get out Of here without hosses.
Dick, take the Indian an scout down
the arroyo. Today L seen the hosses
were gettin' fat, Gettin' fat in this
desert But nlebbe they've about
grazed up all the: grass. Go an see,
Dick. An may Eou come back with
more good news!" q ! itE a." }
Gale found that the arroyo widened
as II opened. Near, the head. where
it was narrow, patches Of gray grass
grew everywhere. Gale began to Won
der where the horses were. Finally
the trees and brush thinn ed out. and
mile-wide gray plain stretched down
to reddish sand dunes. Over to, one
side were the white horses, and here
was grass enough for many; the ar
royo was indeed an oasis.
Ladd and the others were awaiting
Gales report, and they received 1t
with calmness, yet with q Joy no less
evident because it was restrained.
Gale, in his keen observation at the
moment, found that lie and his com
rades turned with glad eyes to the
. woman of the party.
"Senor Ladd', you think-you-be.
nlieve-we SHALL she faltered, and
her voice failed. #.-SE. . -

mer was upon them. There could be
only death waiting down in the burn:
ing valley. Here was water and grass
and wood and shade from the suns
rays, anG sheep to be killed on the
peaks.
"Wait for rain," concluded Yaqui
and now as never before he spoke as
one with authority. IF no rain
Silently he lifted sneaking hand.

RADIO SIGNALS
NEW TIME DEVICE

There has appeared In England a
line of radio time signed indicators
for use in shop windows and on
outside walls so that the time sig
nails may be flashed to a larger
number of persons in the streets.
One of the indicators takes the form
of a miniature Eiffel Tower (for
the signals are received from the
Eiffel Tower in Paris) with an elec-
trio light at the top. As the radio
time signals are received. an
operator presses a key SO that the
light flashes in accordance with the
intercepted signals. 1t Is true that
an appreciable loss Of time takes
places because of this relaying, but
1t is estimated that the interval OF
lost time Is not greater than one
hundredth second. Another form is
in the shape of a metal frame, with
glass face carrying the necessary
lettering to indicate the elapsed
minutes, such as "10-4s," "10-47"
and so on to the fnal dash at IL
o'clock. A system Of lights con-
trolls the flashing of the proper
minute reading, while q lamp on
top of the frame and an electric
bell are actuated when the final IL
o'clock dash Is received.

Mahon refused to admit a half

had tasted the liquid, 1t was ordered
to the Treasury laboratory for

sThe Hand Of Our God,
When Ezra appeared before the
King he expressed his confidence In
God So strongly that he felt 1t in
consistent to ask for the armed
guards that the King would will
ingiy have provided for the expedi-
ton. He says:
For ] was ashamed to require
of the King a band OF soldiers and
horsemen to help us against the
enemy In the way; because we had
spoken unto the King. saying, The
hand of our God is upon all them
for good that seek Him. But His
power and His wrath is against all
them that forsake Him.
But the same confidence that led
him to be almost boastful before Ar
taxerxes sustained him on the Jour
ney. After they had tasted and
prayed they started on their journey.
trusting to God to guard them from
their enemies. and their trust was re-
warded. Ezra took his little band
through a hostile country infested by
robbers and none molested him.
The unbeliever may speculate as to
the reasons that accounted for Ezra $
security: he may guess that the rob-
bers were busy plying their profess
sion along some other highway. but
Ezra gave credit to Jehovah. The
hand Of our God was upon us, and
He delivered us from the Hand of the
enemy, and Of such as lay in wait by
the way. And we came to Jerusalem"
Faith That Unlocks the Future.
Here is another lesson in faith-a
faith that unlocks the future to those
VINO possess it. Ezra's faith bios
somed early. long before reason could
have been of much aid to him. His
faith led him to seek to know the
law OF the Lord. and to do it. and to
teach 1t. This faith developed in him
a life that impressed a king and a
life that furnished leadership for an
expedition.
Eight hundred miles Ezra led his
followers through the desert from ,he
Euphrates to the promised land. 1t
was In the spring and the flowers OF
the desert cheered the travellers as
they Journeyed-the flowers that God
mas scattered over all of earth's will
dernesses as He scatters evidences
OF His love throughout all the lonely
portions OF life's pathway.
never wavering, Ezra completed
mis- Journey and undertook the re-
furnishing Of the temple. Only those
who believe attempt the seemingly
impossible. and. attempting. prove
what can be accomplished.
Faith. mighty faith, the promise
sees.
And looks to that alone;
Laughs at impossibilities,
And cries. 1t shall he donr.'''

Bible Talk TOdau

tEzra 7;io. s:sI-as. 81. sa.)
For Ezra had prepared his
heart TO seek the law of the
Lord. and to do It, and TO
teach In Israel statutes and
: judgments.
Then ! proclaimed a fast
there. at the river Of Ahava,
that We might affiict our
selves before our God, to seek
him a right way for us. and
Tor our little ones, and for
all our substance.
For ! was ashamed to re-
quire of the king a band Of
soldiers and horsemen to help
US against the enemy in the
way: because we had spoken
unto the king. saying. The
hand OF our God Is upon all
them for good that seek
Hin: but His power and His
wrath is, against all them
that forsake Him.
: So we tasted and besought
our God for this: and He was
intreated of us.
Then we departed from the
river Of Ahava on the 18th
day of the first month. to go
into Jerusalem: and the hand
OF our God was upon us. and
He delivered us from the
hand of the enemy. and of
such as lay in wait by the
way.
And we became 70 Jerusa-

days.

Prices of Hams Cut
2 to S Gents Per Pound

Wholesale prices Of hams have
dropped from 2 to cents a pound
In the past two or three weeks"
said Secretary of Agriculture Wal
lace yesterday.
"The amount of the drop varies
somewhat in different cities. The
decline Is due to the heavy re-
ceipts of hogs at the principal mar
kets and the slowing down. of the
export trade. due In part to cool
weather in England. Consumers
should. therefore. be able to buy
choice ham now at Q to s cents q
pound less than q few weeks ago.

To the Radio Editor:
was very interested to read Mr..
Jacobs apparent criticism of local
broadcasting stations In The Her
aid August 8. Without q doubt
Mr.. Jacobs does not appreciate the
excellent programs that are broad
casted from locaif> stations. What
could be better than THE Marine
Band" or any other artist or group
of artists that entertain the public
about Washington. Mr.. Jacobs
does not realize that the owners OF
the broadcasting stations make
every effort to obtain the finest en-
tertainment possible.
II Mr.. Jacobs has an expensive
set without q doubt his apparatus
should be able to tune out local
concerts and receive distant sta
tions. ! am able to pick UP as
many as seven different stations
outside Of Washington nightly
without interference from local
stations and my set is not of the
expensive type.
Everyone has an equal right to
the air. The government cannot
refuse q license to anyone who
lives up to the radio act of 1912.
So, our friend. Mr.. Jacobs. can ex-
pect the stores on d street to ad-
vertise their business through ra-
dio, but those with good sets will
be able to tune this out and listen
to the programs of distant stations.
