She shook her head with an attempt

"Ill be glad when we start goin'

Sandy. Worst of the climbs jest

A great cloud was ballooning above

buoyancy and was humping along the
mesa ridge. It's belly was black, its

Sandy viewed 1t apprehensively. The
cloud was soggy with moisture. Burst

down every ravine, wash out wealth

It was growing cold in the twilight.
One spire ahead glowed golden. The
cloud drifted down upon it. glooming
and glowing on its sunset side. The
crag pierced it, ripped it as 1t glided
along, like the knife of diver in the
belly of a shark. A cold wind blew
from the riven mass. Then came the
hiss of descending waters.
Through the steady patter began to
sound the savage voice of torrents
falling over cliffs. rapids rising and
surging in deep gorges. The wetness
and the cold sapped Molly's vitality.

Jordan made no answer but started
the engine. The way zigzagged for
half mile and then they came to
second fence. No blackboard was in
sight. Leaning against post stood
Soda-Water Sam, smoking cigarette,
his gun holster hitched forward, the
butt of the weapon close to one hand.
Jordan and his men leaped out as the
car stopped, Mormon following more
slowly.

She Rode With Hands on the Saddle
Horn, Her Head Bowed, Water
Streaming From the Rim of Her
Stetson.
She rode with hands on the saddle
horn, her head bowed, water stream
ing from the rim of her Stetson, the
thud of the rain on her tired shoulders
heavy as shot. She saw Sandy ahead,
dimly, like sheeted ghost, twisted In
his saddle, watching her.
To her right was the cliff, Shiny
with water, the trail so narrow that
now and then her elbow dug into the
soft stuff. The light rayed upward
at an acute angle. In few moments
it would be dark. But they were
close to the top. The mare already
stood on level ledge of side-jutting
rock, from which one could look down
into the canyon of the OAKS and the
unfailing stream.
Sandy heard a cry from Molly and
saw, through the curtain of the fall
ing rain, the wide-fared nostrils of
her horse, its eyes protruding as the
brute, with the ground stopping away
beneath him, slid slowly down toward
the gulf, the girl, her weight flung for
ward on the withers, her face white
as paper, turning TO him mutely for
help. 1t was a bad moment. Sandy
had no space to turn in, no chance
to whirl his lariat, even for a side
throw. There was no time to spin
loop. But his hand detached the rope,
flying fingers found the free end as
he pivoted in the saddle, thighs weld
ed to the mare.

on imperturbably. kind of mean to
back down, too. It's worse higher up.
Matter of fac the gap peters out jest
round the turn. Look for yo'self, If

Jordan and Plimsoll strobe on up
the pitch. Mormon followed, Sam
stayed with the two deputies. Around
the bend stood the blackboard with
the buckskins in patch of shadow
under scoop in the ending wall that
turned the so-called pass to box
canyon.
II told you the gel warn't erlong,"
said Mormon. "She and Sandy was
with us fo' & spell. But they're goin'
visitin' an they shifted to saddle way
back, out there by the spring beside
the lava strip"
Mormon's bland smile masked a
sterner intent than showed in his
eyes. Jordan, furious at being out

skins, but followed the sheriff and the
scowling, silent Plimsoll back to tho
car.

Why didn't you phone? Ninety mile

He stopped, puzzled by the change
in the sheriffS face. Chagrin had
given place to eXultation.

the information, Mormon. That
schedule was changed last week when
they pulled off two trains on the main

Sandy had only once crossed the

Because $50 of the
milk a cow gives is
secreted during the milk
ing operation, it is plain
to be seen that the way
she is MIXED has a great
influence on the amount
produced. If the method
of milking is not pleas
ing, then the cows nerv-
Gus system, automatically
and unconsciously to the
COW, checks the manufac-
ture of milk.
IF, however, the milk
ing is pleasing to the
cow, as it should be,
then she makes milk to
her greatest ability.
