Deborah paused no longer. He was
coming back; there was no other way
If he, intended going down the cliff.
She ran swiftly through the dark,
reckless Of the scraggy sage, desperate
to attain the horse. The man must
have heard her, had some intimation
of movement in the black night, for
he gave utterance to startled oath,
and his feet crunched in the sand.
But he was already too late, too far
behind In moment more the fright
ened girl had gripped the bride rein,
f1inging it back over the animals head,
and, in spite of his backing away,
startled by her sudden appearance,
had, in sheer desperation Of terror,
scrambled into the saddle. The horse
wheeled sharply about, maddened by
the flap Of her skirt, and leaped for
ward, straight across the gully and up
the sharp incline opposite. Her eyes
caught one glimpse Of the mans figure,
dim, indistinct. grotesque. racing
toward them; then he fired twice, the
red glare lighting up the night. The
next instant they were over the top,
speeding frantically into the inky
blackness Of the desert night, no sound
but the smuggling Of the animals hoofs
in the soft sand.
She had escaped; she was free .
Nothing else mattered, Meager's hasty
shots had failed; neither she nor the
horse had been touched. Now he was
back there helpless on foot, while she
was free and in saddle. But where
should she ride? in which direction?
where was safety to be found before
daylight? She drew the horse down
to a walk, and studied the stars over
head in an endeavor to determine even
the points of the compass.
Was that sound-there to her
left? She stared. half conscious Of
deeper shadow looming, yet I'M
certain, checking the sudden spring of
her horse. Then she knew. but too
late; the black thunderbolt rushed
upon her, and man, leaning from
his saddle, had clasped her arm, even
as he jerked his own mount almost on

the Casper Gas Appliance company
who reported this morning that the
sale OF Lorain gas stoves by his com
pany was increasing by leaps and

Ever since the invention of the
cotton gin and the wheat harvester,
inventive genius has been focused
on the a OF Tightening the labors

1T is known as the oven heat
regulator. By merely turning an in
dicator on the gas pipe of her range
she can absolutely control the oven
temperature and determine the exact
time the food will be cooked. Much
better results are obtained by this
method since each kind OF food tastes
best when 1t is cooked for a certain
length of time at an even tempera-
ture. This is exactly what happens
when the oven heat regulator is used.
