was she2 Where had her assailant
gone? Was the thing man or beast2
The questions were: unanswerable; she
could be assured of but one thing-she
was still alive.
Slowly silently the girl succeeded
in lifting herself partially from off the
hard rock on which she lay, using the
rough 0utCrOppingS of the wall as sup
port to the effort Her bruised limbs
ached, and her head throbbed with
agony as she changed her posture ever
so slightly, yet the movement served
to clear her mind and bring back
measure of courage Her thought
swept back to Kelleen and the mem
Ory Of the man was no longer wholly
fear of his presence. In spite Of her
doubts, her diStruSt, the recollection
of their nights ride together recurred
now as almost pleasant remem-
branCe. Criminal, outlaw he might be,
but he was no brute, no beast of the
Jungle; rather he had shown himself
a man, even a gentleman Yet what
help could she expect from him? If
he was loyal and worthy, how could
he be of any aid?
Beyond all doubt the man would re-
turn in search Of her. He had
shrewdly guessed where she lay in
concealment, and had led those others
away for no other purpose but to
leave her there securely hidden. AS
soon as he could rid himself from
their observation he would surely be
back once more. But even if he came
had she left any trail he could follow?
Her passage back from the edge of the
covert had been made over smooth
rock, on which her feet could have
left no slightest trace. If she had
flown away into the air the final mys-
terry Of her disappearance could not
have been greater. Suppose he even
approached the front of the precipice
or stumbled blindly into the mouth Of
the tunnel behind the canopy of vines
what then? She could conceive but
one inevitable result-hs death.
She was surprised shocked at how
that new thought sickened and dis
heartened her. In some way his per-
sonality had touched her strongly, and
the tie refused to snap. Yet death GER
tainIy stood grimly between them now.
If this guardian of the hidden tunnel
could treat her as he had-actuated
by terror, or whatever cause had led
to his action-he would surely prove
no more merciful to him. He would
be on watch, would mark Kelleen's
approach. his every footstep, Skulk-
ing behind that screen of leaves, un-
suspected, he could kill safely and in
that wild land the report of the death
shot would bring no danger.

CHAPTER K
Within the Tunnel.

Deborah struggled to break away,
emitting one startled cry for help. be-

viselike on her throat She was in the
grasp of a giant, merciless in the ex-
ercise of his power and felt herself

of vines into blackneSs beyond 1t was

had no glimpse of the face and made
desperate effort at release, given I'M
usual strength by terror; but the grip
on her throat tightened remorselessly,
and her power of resistance waned
until she suddenly lost consciousness
and all sense of her surroundings Her
body lay limp in the fellows arms, and
with a grOwl of satisfaction, he bore
the mOtionIess. seemingly lifeless body
back through the deepening shadows

picked it up, tested its mechanism
and moved silently forward to the en-

of his arm.
Cautiously he parted the leaves and
looked out. searching the full length
of the deserted valley. Nothing Of
consequence met his gaze, for he rest
ed back on a convenient boulder, and
continued his vigil, as motionless as
the stone on which he sat. He must
have remained in that position for an
hour, occasionally shaking his head,
and muttering incoherently to himself.
Then, suddenly, and without warning,
the fellow appeared to relax, his head
sinking forward on the arm resting
above the gun muzzle and he sank
into a deep sleep.

What Life Consists Of.

"a mans life consisteth not in the
abundance of things which he pos
sesseth." In these words Jesus strikes
at the popular error of all ages-the
belief that life consists in things For
nothing are we under deeper obliga-
ton to Christianity than for this, that
it cOrrects our easy views Of life.
Since the first man started heaven
ward, there have been two conflict
ing ideals Of life; one teaches that
life's values are in the things we get
and keep; the other holds that the
chief end of man is to develop his
highest powers, to live in fear of that
which is beneath him, and in reverence
for That which is above him.-Rev. G.

her mind failed to function No flash

consciousness came slowly, reawaken-

throat lacerated by those cruel hands.
She could scarcely swallow, or move

pervading gloom, the girl began dimly
to perceive objects about her, and thus
grasp something of the situation.
Little by little the details came back

hopeless struggle, ending so quickly in

SUGAR OUTPUT OF COLORADO
WILL SUPPLY WHOLE COUNTRY

Denver.-COlorado is the most inn
portant ugar-producing state in the
Union. Factories in the state this year
are converting 100000 tons of raw
sugar beets into 5OO,OOO,OOO pounds of
sugar, more than four pounds for ev-
cry man, woman and child in the
United States.
The beet tonnage is being harvested
on 175,00O acres of land in the irri-
gated sections of the state. Sixteen
sugar factories are operating twenty
four hours every day to extract the
sugar. Two factories in the Arkansas
valley are idle, the construction of fac
tories in that district having exceeded
a reasonable expectation of beet acre
age.
Probably $16,0OOO0O or more will be
paid to the 5000 or 1000 beet grow
farmers in the state for their 1923
ton, but the price the farmers will
receive will depend upon the sugar
content of the crop and also upon the
net price per bag realized by the fac
tories. In this way the farmers share
in the profits of the industry.
NO other crop grown in Colorado is
marketed on such a fair basis If the
price of flour advances after a farmer
has sold his grain to the mill he OBJ
tainS no share in the increased price.
If the price of meat or mutton goes up
after the steer or lamb has been sold
to the packer, the live stock grower re-
ceives no part Of the increased price.
But if at any time in a tWelve-month
period the price of sugar advances the
benefit is shared on practically equal
terms between the grower of beets and
the factory which converted the raw
crop into sugar
This is the so-called sliding scale
form of beet contract Formerly beets
were paid for on flat rate basis, a
fixed sum per ton. In recent years su-
gar prices have fluctuated so greatly
that no accurate estimate could be
made in advance on the proceeds for
the sugar made from a beet crop. Then
the new plan of paying the farmer was
devised in order to protect the two
principal parties in the industry, the
beet growers and the sugar factories.
However, a minimum guarantee Of at
least $3.50 a ton has been incorporated
in the sliding scale contract so that on
delivery of his crop the efficient grow
er is assured of more than enough to
cover his average cost of production.
Later as sugar sales and prices war
rant additional payments are made.
