ACREAGE IN CORN IN STATE
THIS YEAR EXCEEDS WHEAT

Denver-Rcports of about $4,000
farmers to the State immigration De
partment Indicate that the acreage OF
corn grown In Colorado this year will
be greater than the acreage of win.
ter wheat, for the first time in about
eight years. The acreage Of corn this
year will be the greatest ever grown
in the state, while the area Of winter
wheat to be harvested will be below
100000 acres for the first time since
1917.
Assessors reported 1,10l,000 acres
Of corn In 1922, the largest acreage
ever grown In Colorado. Reports from
25,0O0 farms this year show over IOO.-
900 acres, and while the remaining
farms will not report as large an
acreage as those from which reports
already have been received, 1t seems
safe to estimate that the final report
will show at least 10000 acres more
corn than was reported in 1922. The
reports also indicate an increase OF
at least 20 per cent in acreage OF
sorghum crops.

she had saved Stewards life. To be
sure. he had been a rufiian, but a
woman could not save the life Of even
a rufiian without remembering It with
gladness. Madeline at length decided
her interest In Stewart was natural,
and that her deeper feeling was pity.
Perhaps the interest had been forced
from her; however. she gave the pity
as she gave everything.
Stewart had taken up his duties as
foreman, and his activities were cease
less. He was absent most Of the time,
ranging down toward the Mexican line.
When he returned Stillwell sent for
him.
This was late In the afternoon Of q
day In the middle Of April. Alfred
and Florence were with Madeline on
the porch.
Madeline saw the man she remem.
bered. but with singularly different
aspect. His skin was brown; his eyes

line that he guessed there was now no
reason for concern.
"Wal, though It's sure amazin'
strange" he continued, 1--WE been wor-
ryin' some about how we was goin to
fire Don Carlos. But Gene has a way
Of doin' things"
Next day Stlllwell and Alfred de-
cided to ride over to Don Carlos place,
taking Madeline and Florence with
them. and upon the return to stop at
Alfred's ranch. They started in the
cool, gray dawn, and after three hours
riding, as the sun began to get bright,
they entered a mesquite grove, sur
rounding corrals and barns, and q
number Of low, squat buildings and a
huge, rambling structure all built Of
adobe and mostly crumbllng to ruin.
Only one green spot relieved the bald
red Of grounds and walls; and this evil
IDENTIFY was made by the spring which
had given both value and fame to Don
Carlos range. The approach to the
house was through wide courtyard,
bare, stony, hard packed. with hitch.

of n long porch. Several dusty, tired
horses stood with dropping heads and
brides down, their wet flanks attesting
to travel just ended.

growled Alfred.
No one was In sight; but Madeline
heard loud voices coming from the
house. Stllwell dlsmounted ut the
porch and stalked In at the door. AL
fred leaped of his horse. helped Flor
ence and Madeline down. and, bidding
them rest and walt on the porch, he
followed Stlllwell.
From the corridor came the rattlIng
Of spurs, tramplng Of boots, and loud
voices. Madeline detected Alfred's
quick notes when he was annoyed: ::

said. The answer came, mo" Made.

she quickly Strengthened up. II won't

Outdoors or In, they've got to be
with us!" replied Stewart, sharply.
Listen, AL" came the boom Of Still
wells big voice. nov that we've but
ted In over hyar with the girls, you let
Stewart run things"
Then a crowd of men tramped pell.
nell out upon the porch. Stewart,
dark-browed and somber, was In the
lead. Nels hung close to him, and
Madeline's quick glance saw that Nels
had undergone lndescrlbable change.
The grlnning, brillIant-eyed Don Car
los came Jostllng out beside a giant,
sharp-featured man wearing silver
shield. This. no doubt, was Pat Have.
In the background behind Stillwell and
Alfred stood Nick Steele, head and
shoulders over number Of vaqueros
and cowboys.
Miss Hammond, I'm sorry you
came" said Stewart. bluntly. "We're
In muddle here. I've Insisted that
you and Flo be kept close to us. I'll
explain later. II you can't stop your
ears ! beg you to overlook rough talk"
With that he turned to the men be-
hind him: mick, take Body, 90 back

stuff. All Of 1t. Rustic, now"'
Stillwell and Alfred disengaged
themselves from the crowd to take up
positions In front Of Madeline and

post and insolently ogled Madeline and

cowboy.
Stillwell whistled.

Nick Steele with me. Nick Is the best
tracker In the outfit. This trail we
were on led along the foothlll valleys.
First we thought whoever made 1t was
hunting for water. But they passed
two ranches without watering. At
Seaton's wash they dug for water.
Here they met pack.traln of burros
that came down the mountain trail.
The burros were heavily loaded. Horse
and burro tracks struck south from
Seaton's to the old California emlgrant
road. We followed the trail through
Guadalupe canyon and across the Dor.
der. On the way back we stopped at
Slaughter's ranch, where the United
States cavalry are camping. There
we met foresters from the Peloncillo
forest reserve. II these fellows knew
anything they kept 1t to themselves.
So we hit the trail home"
"Wal, I reckon you know enough? 2"
inquired Shllwell. slowly. Miss Ham.
mond can't be kept In the dark much
longer. Make your report to her"
The cowboy shifted his dark gaze
to Madeline. "We're losing a few cat.
tie on the open range. Night-drives
by vaqueros. Some Of these cattle are
driven across the valley, others up in.
to the foothills. So far as can find
out no cattle are being driven south.
So this raiding Is a blind to fool the
cowboys. Don Carlos Is a Mexican
rebel. He located his rancho here a
few years ago and pretended to raise
cattle. All that time he has been
smuggling arms and ammunition across
the border. he was for Madero against
Diaz. Now he Is against Madero be-
cause he and all the rebels think Ma.
dero failed to keep his promises. There
will be another revolution. And all
the arms go from the States across
the border. Those burros told about
were packed with contraband goods" "
"What is my-my dutyi What has
II to do with mel" inquired Madeline,
somewhat perturbed.

hasn't nothing to do with you," put in
Stillwell. "Thet's my blzness an Stew.

There might be some trouble follerin'

"Why, assuredly You havel Still.

It'll make trouble. Majesty. but it's
