The Two Baekwoodsmen Had Been
 DazzIed by the BrIlIiance of 1t All.

the boy had stood with Barbara, who had been allowed to look on for a while. Again my lord had summoned Dave to him and asked many ques- tions about the wilderness beyond the Cumberland, and he even had the boy to come up and shake hands, and asked him where he had learned to ride so well.
 Before Barbara was sent home Hugh and Dane Grey, dressed with great care, came in, with an exaggera- tion of dignity and pOliteness that fooled few others than themselves. Hugh, catching Barbara's sad and re- proachful glance, did not dare go near her, but Dane made straight for her side when he entered the rOom-and bowed with great gallantry. To the boy he paid no attention whatever, and the latter, fired with indignation and hate, turned hastily away. But in a corner unseen he could not withhold watching the two closely, and he felt vaguely that he was watching fright ened bird and snake. The little girls self-composure seemed quite to vanish. her face flushed, her eyes were downcast, and her whole attitude had mature embarrassment that was far beyond her years. The lad wondered and was deeply disturbed. The half overlooking and wholly contemptuous glance that Grey had shot over his head had stung him life knife-cut, so like an actual knife indeed that with out knowing 1t his right hand was then fumbling at his belt. Dave too was noticing and so was Barbara's mother and her father, who knew very we'll that this smooth, suave, bold young daredevil was deliberately lead inc Hrch ictn cll the mischief he

To force tax dodgers out into the open, the Nebraska State Farm Bureau Federation has made arrange ments for representatives in each county in the state to make copy of the personal tax returns made by every taxpayer and to post these lists in conspicuous places in each district. This plan is approved by the state tax commissioner.

SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER I-To the Kentucky wilder ness outpost commanded by Jerome Sam ders, in the time immediately preceding the Revolution, comes white boy nce- ing from tribe of Shawnees by whom he had been captured and adopted as . son of the chief, Kahtoo. He Is given shelter and attracts the favorable atten- ton of Dave Yandell, . leader among the settlers.
 CHAPTER 1.-The boy warns his new friends of the coming of Shawnee war party. The fort is attacked, and only saved by the timely appearance of a party of Virginians. The leader of these ments recognizes the fugitive youth as his son.
 CHAPTER 1lI.-At Red Oaks, planta- Dale's home, the boy appears with . message for the colonel, who after read ing 1t introduces the bearer to his daugh- ter Barbara as her cousin. Erskine Dale.

 rns:0e ..le tavern Hugh was soon surrounded by fellow students and boon seompanions. He. pressed Dave and the boy to drink with them, but Dave ,laughingly declined and took the lad up to their room. Below they could hear Hugh's merriment going on, and when he came upstairs a while later his face was flushed. he was in great spirits, and was full of enthusiasm over horse race and cock-fght that he had arranged for the afternoon. With him came a youth of his own age with daredevil eyes and suave manner, one Dane Grey, to whom Harry gave scant greeting. One patronizing look from the stranger toward the Kentucky boy and within the latter a fire of antagonism was instantly kipdled. With word after the two went out, Harry snorted his explanation:
 "Tory"
 In the early afternoon coach and horsemen moved out to an "old field" Hugh was missing from the Dale party, and General WillOughby drowned when he noted his sons ab. sence.
 Then a crowd of boys gathered to run one hundred and twelve yards for hat worth twelve shillings, and Dave nudged his young friend. A moment later Harry cried to Bar bara:
 Look therel"
 There was their young Indian lin ing up with the runners, his face calm, but an eager light in his eyes. At the word he started off almost leisurely, until the whole crowd was nearly ten yards ahead of him, and then a yell of astonishment rose from the crowd. The boy was skimming the ground on wings. Past one after another he flew, and laughing and hardly out of Sreath he bounded over the finish, with the first of the rest laboring with bursting lungs ten yards behind. Hugh and Dane Grey had appeared arm in arm and were moving through the crowd with great gayety and some bOisterousness, and when the boy appeared with his hat Grey shouted:
 Good for the little savage !" Erskine wheeled furiously but Dave caught him by the arm and led him

ductile product. and this want of due
tility appears to be one of the princi-
pal difficulties to be overcome.
Some years ago one of the import
ant Welsh steel and tin plate con-
Germs laid down a plant for the pro-
duction of aluminium coated steel
sheets, which, it was suggested, would
supplant tin plate in the manufact-
ure of food containers and domestic
ware. The product, however, did not
nrove popular, and although efforts
were made to interest the biscuit
and other large users
of the material, the process was not
commercial success, and in the end
the plant was scrapped. Any substi-
tute for tin plate will have to over
come a considerable amount of pre-
JUDGE, because, despite its limita-
TONS tin plate is regarded by food
packers and others as the most sat
isfactory material obtainable for
their purpose.

GASOLINE SUBSTITUTE
SOON Be DISCOVERED
INEXHAUSTIBLE SUPPLY WILL
COME FROM VEGETABLE
SOURCE.

The mining industry shares with
other industries an anxiety in regard
to future supplies of motor spirit, es-
pecially when operations are being
conducted at great distances from oil
refineries. 1t is interesting to note,
however, that during recent years the
high cost of gasoline in isolated dis
tricts has acted as a spur to initiative
in the discovery and the development
o ia cheaper and equally efficient sub
stitute.
Much attention has been paid to
the alcohol that can be produced from
various classes of vegetable matter
1t has been found, however, that the
substitute can be made only at a pro-
hibitive cost unless the new industry
operates in conjunction with other in
dustries. To make the venture a sue
cess, one of two courses must be
adopted: the alcohol factory must be
able to produce cheaply a salable by
product, or the alcohol itself must be
manufactured as a byprOduct of an
other industry In South America, for
instance, considerable success has re-
suited from the use of alcohol as
fuel in internal combustion engines.
Gas From Sugar Cane.
Near Pernambuco. in Brazil,
large sugar mill is producing a spirit
from the discarded cane, and at less
than half the cost of gasoline. Ex-
cellent results are being obtained by
the use of the new fuel in motor We
hicles, but some trouble was caused
at first by the rusting of certain parts
of the engine, a disadvantage that has
since been overcome by the addition
of about per cent of gasoline to the
sugar cane spirit. In another district
of Brazil, alcohol is produced as a by
product from a wood distillation plant
operated by the st. John Del Rey Mi
ming company. The efficiency of the
spirit, which is used in the motors
without the addition of any correct
i've is not so high as that of gasoline,
but according to reports no damage
to motor parts has resulted.
A considerable amount of success
has resulted in South Africa by the
use of a combination of alcohol and
acetylene Cattle food is obtained as
a byproduct. The addition of acety-
lene is considered essential. for with
out IT the local wood spirit possesses
disadvantages that make it only part
ly efficient as a motor fuel Unfor-
tunately. however, the amount of
acetylene gas that such spirit can alb
sorb is small-only about six times its
volume However. in distilling the
volatile products from wood another
byproduct is made-acetate of lime,
from which acetone is derived-and

The War on Flies.
anaconda Standard

A fly killed in time prevents ninety
and nine and then some hundreds or
thousands as the case may be. This
is the season of the year when house
flies begin to breed and health au-
thOrities begin their regular annual
efforts to make people realize the ra-
pidity and menace of such breeding.
Now is the time for watchful waiting
for the first fly. whose appearance
should be the signal for the immedi-
ate infliction upon it of the death
penalty The first will not be the last,
but an initial victory is a good be-
ginning and will encourage the house
hold to wage a ceaseless war of ex-
termination on the pest all summer.
Every neighborhood should be rid of
all fly and mosquito breeding places.
Naturally. to strike at the root of the
evil and destroy the fly and mosquito
and their breeding places is most i'm
portant, but, of course, this can not
be done all at once. and it is there
fore of Importance to see that all the
food is screened, that all stores, res
taurants and other places where any
foodstuffs and eatables are sold are
properly protected and that flies are
not allowed to enter the homes

The machine was easily 10000 feet
in the air, where there was no wind.
When the word DAILY" had been
written and the aviator was maneu-

les asked what odds people would lay
as to which one of half a dozen news
papers would be named. Thu smoke
hung against the blue background and
the letters were distinct for some
time The plane carried a smoke gem
orator and powerful ejector which
forced jets of smoke in the trail of the
machine as it climbed up and down in
the air It was estimated the space
occupied by DAILY Mair' in the sky
was more than three miles wide.

EXPORT SILVER.
Association Formed to Protect Price
After Pittman Act.

Association Formed to Protect Price
After Pittman Act.
Formation of an export silver asso-
citation along the lines of the Copper
Export association has been proposed
| by the American Gold and Silver In
stitute as a means of protecting the
future market for American silver
when the purchases authorized by the
Pittman act have been completed
Discussing the proposition, H. n.
Lawrie, the managing director of the
institute, among other things, says4
IAN effort should be made to develop
an export association similar to that
organized for the purpose of market
ing the copper production of the ma
ton to better advantage. Most silver
producers are forced to market their
product Immediately in order to de-
velop income wherewith to meet OPP
Grating costs. A silver export asso-
citation properly organized to extend
credit to the producer would make
possible a more orderly marketing of
the silver production of the country
This, of course, is not a factor at the
present time, for the reason that the
international price is below the Pitt
man price.
1.-THE London control of the price of
silver has been sustained largely be-
cause of the speculative demand for
the metal for delivery in the orient.
This is a factor which must not be
overlooked in anticipating the sue
cess or failure of an export associa-
ton here. There must be a liquidat-
ing market and unless the Spectator
will come to the rescue of the mar
ket as he has in supporting the Lon
don market, there will be difficulty in
operating such an association. A
strong association, capable of pur-
chasing the entire worlds production
of silver, would be in a unique posi-
ton TO force the Spectator to come to
it for accommodation. The United
states and Mexico produce 20 per cent
of the worlds silver. This country
should assume a stronger position in
determining the market. 1t also might
develop to be of great assistance to
such an export organization if the
cooperation of the Standard Oil COM
pany and other American companies.
who transact large volumes of bust
ness in the orient. were to coordinate
