Lash's voice died away in a husky

stretching out all but the crippled leg.

bones had not been broken, and then

On the moment Yaqui appeared to
have completed the binding Of his
wounded shoulder, and he started to
follow Gale. The descent to the ar
royo was swift and easy. Gale hastily
put together the things he needed;
and, packing them all in tarpaulin,
he turned to retrace his steps up the
trail.
Darkness was setting in. The trail
was narrow, exceedingly steep, and in
some places fronted on precipices
Gales burden was not very heavy, but
its bulk made it unwieldy, and it was
always overbalancing him or knocking
against the wall side of the trail. At

Gale then set to work. Yaqui's part
was to keep the fire blazing and the
water hot, Mercedes to help Gale in

what way she could. Gale found Ladd
had many wounds, yet not one Of them
was directly IN vital place. Evi-
IDENTIFY, the ranger had almost bled to
death. He remained unconscious
through Gales operations.
jim Lash came out of his stupor. A
mushrooming bullet had torn great
hole in his leg. Gale upon examina-
ton, could not be sure the bones had
been missed, but there was no bad
break. The application of hot salt
water made Jim groan When he had
been bandaged and laid beside Ladd,
Gale went on to the cavalryman. A
furrow had been plowed through his
scalp down to the bcne. When it had
been dressed, Mercedes collapsed.
Gale laid her with the three in a row
and covered them with blankets and
the tarpaulin.
Then Yaqui submitted to examina-
ton. A bullet had gone through the
Indians shoulder. To Gale it appeared
serious. Yaqui said 1t was a flea bite
But he allowed Gale to bandage it,
and obeyed when he was told to lie
quiet in his blanket beside the fire.
Gale stood guard. The hour had
come for him to face his great prob
lem. 1t was natural that he hung back
little at first: natural that when he
went forward to look at the quiet
sleepers he did SO with grim and
stern force urging him. Yaqui stirred,
reused, yawned, got up; and, though
he did not smile at Gale, light
shone swiftly across his dark face
His shoulder dropped and appeared
stiff. otherwise he was himself. Mer-
cedes lay in deep slumber. Thorne
had high fever, and was beginning
to show signs of restlessness. Ladd
seemed just barely alive. Jim Lash
slept as if he was not much the
worse for his wound.
Gale awoke Mercedes. Swiftly she
sat up.
MERCEDES Are you all right?
Lady is alive. Thorne's not-not SO
bad. But we've got job on our
hands. You must help me-
She bent over Thorne and laid her
hands on his hot face. Then she rose

she might be in an hour Of trial.
Gale took up Ladd as carefully and
gently as possible.
Mercedes, bring what you can
carry and follow me-" he said. Then,
motioning for Yaqui to remain there,
he turned down the slope with Ladd
in his arms.
Neither pausing nor making mis-
step nor conscious of great effort,
Gale carried the wounded man down
into the arroyo. Mercedes kept at
his heels, light, supple, 1.-THE as a
panther. He left her with Laid and
went back. When he had started off
with Thorne in his arms he felt the
tax on his strength. Surely and
swiftly, however, he bore the cavalry
man down the trail to lay him beside
Laid. Again he started back, and
when he began to mount the steep
lava steps he was hot, wet, breathing
hard. AS he reached the scene of

Bulgaria, Home of Altar of Roses,
Is Suffering From Short
age of Crop.

Washington.-Roses are not doing 30
well In Bulgaria this year.
This Is not the casual statement that
II may appear. 1t amounts to u great
deal more than statement, for exam
pie, that Caltfornias peoples are suf-
fering that the bluebonnet crop is not
up to the standard In Texas, or that
the daisies in Maryland are scarcer
than usual. A bulletin by the National
Geographic society's headquarters here
tells why.
Roses are not merely things Of
beauty in Bulgaria" says the bulletin.
They constitute a real crop. and mean
rs much to some parts OF the country
as cotton means In Georgia, or potu-
toes in Maine. 1t is literally true that
the rose means bread and butter to
thousands of Bulgarian country folk.
Great fields of roses are grown that
the petals may be made TO yield each
Its infinitesimal share OF altar of roses,
the last word-and the most expensive
in perfumery.
1T is in the valleys on the southern
slopes of the Balkans that roses have
been grown for generations for the
perfumery industry. for there the cli-
mate, soil and drainage are Just right
In normal seasons for this most exact
Ing flower. Before the World war there
were probably between % 600 and 5O,-
900 acres Of rose gardens in the Bull
garian rose belt and the annual yield
Of the altar was about 10000 ounces.
But perfume was not greatly In de-
mand in the German and Turkish
world to which Bulgarias exports were
confined during war time, and roses
gave way to the tobacco plant, whose
particular fragrance was more appre-
ciated by the millions of men under
arms. Since the war rose growing has
recovered, but in no postwar year has
the acreage climbed above 1900.
Most Concentrated Product.
Altar of roses is one of the most
concentrated agricultural products II
1t may be SO called, produced anywhere
In the world. The countless rose petals
grown on an acre yield only a few tn
blespoonfuls of the fragrant oil. The
altar is in effect the materialized md
captured fragrance Of the rose, and
probably $4,000 or more flowers must
contribute their share In making each
ounce of the completed product.
"The roses are largely gathered be-
fore sunrise, or at least before the dew
has dried; for the moisture helps to
preserve the fragrance. The peasants
seem to enjoy their aesthetic Job.
Troops of gaily dressed girls and young
men go through the gardens stripping
the buds from the plants. They are
dumped in piles before older women

MOTHER NATURE

"You nrc very clever" said the fern
TO the cactus plant in the greenhouse.
The cactus Ind been telling the fern
that the reason for all the prlckles
which II had on Its leaves was to save
the Juicy stems from being eaten and
destroyed by animals In the desert
lands from which It and many OF Its
family came.
"Oh, yes, we must have protection
II we're to grow. and in this way were
quite safe. No one wants cactus
burrs!"
"Of course l don't have the trouble
that you do, for no one wants to eat
me. SO l do not need to be protected
us you do"
Well" said the cactus plant, at is
useful. l believe there are other crea-
lures who do the same kind OF thing
as we plants-have some means of
protection.
There is the skunk for example.
I've heard visitors who'vc come to the
greenhouse talk about the skunk.
He has a curious odor that people
do not like-other animals dislike 1t,
too. and that is his protection. He can
spread this odor about when he Is
frightened or when he wants to be pro
tected
"rve heard some people say that
they wondered how he stood 1t him
self!
'Well, there Is the hedgehog. who
can roll himself up into prlckly ball
when he is frightened. That is his
protection.
Yes, there nre many, many crea-
lures who wear their protection.
THE poisonous snakes have their
poison right with them
MANY little birds look like the
woods in color so that they cannot be
seen and some of the toads and frogs
do, too"
"Ah, yes" said the fern; "all that
you say is very true. But animals are
different from plants.
II think 1t Is so particularly Gle,
Of you to be able to have protection
such as you have and such very good
protection when you're only plant"
"Ah, fern said the cactus plant,
you give me credit for more brains
and sense than l have.
"All Of this is owing to dear Mother
Nature. She Is the one who looks out
for her children.
"She 1t Is who saw that the cactus
plants, or the Cacti as you speak of
many Of us. had prickles to save them
from being destroyed
Yes, Mother Nature Is the one who
looks after us. She is not so busy that
she hasn't time to remember all her
children, every one"

TIN CANS TURNED INTO
COPPER AT ARIZONA MINES

OF copper, less than two-tentns Of l
per cent, In solution. The water Is run
through sluices. where scrap iron has
been placed.
Part of the iron goes into solution
and the copper Is deposited in the bot
tom of the slulces and is collected at
Intervals. The process is valuable
principally on account of the low ex-
pense involved.
At Ajo. mining camp In the SOUTH
western part Of the state, the principle
has been extended to the scrap iron
electrolytic process of extracting COP
per from ore. The process, according
to mining men, is not confined at Arl.
zona mines, but is also used In Mon
tana AMI Utah.
Since the object is to get scrap iron
with as much surface as possible In
proportion to its weight, tin cans
which are actually made of Iron and
rot tin, answer the purpose admirably.
Most Of the tin cans are shipped in

Leaf Spot Most Serious
Disease of Strawberry

Strawberry leaf spot Is common
wherever Strawberries are grown, and
Is often found on the wild plants The
leaves only are affected, the spots
starting as small purple blotches,
which gradually enlarge. though they
seldom become more than quarter
of an Inch across. AS the spot gets
older the center dies out and be-
comes white, so that the leaf spot
usually presents the appearance of
whitish spot with purple bor-
der. few of these spots do not
cause much damage. but when plenti-
ful they lessen the crop and weaken
the plants by destroying so much leaf
surface.
AS the fungus lives over In the old
spotted leaves, and thus carries the
disease from one seasons leaves to
the new leaves Of the next spring, or
from one field to another in the trans
planted sets, the following recommen-
dations given by the bureau Of plant
industry, Pennsylvania department of
agriculture, will be found of value in
controlling the disease:
