Give Natural Law A Chance

So many persons keep themselves SO busy LOOKING Tor some
thing to improve, something to criticize, something IN our sys-
tenn of government with which to find fault that they fail to
note the tendency of the country towards growth ana improve
denly geared to take care of the stupendous PRODUCTION nee
essary and incident to that gigantic undertaking; When the
war ended it was thought the industries would De III mgh and
dry, or at least find themselves in a position TO take care OF the
country's demands for several decades. The fact Is, however,
that iron and steel production for this year have been practically
at capacity, and this has been so in many other industries which
have been surprising war time production. 1t has well been
in the procession. Our industries have become SO diversified
that they support each other and seem Jointly 10 host Them
selves even by their own bootstraps.
Nc longer does America depend on the outside world Tor
economic support and capital. The tables have been turned.
Capital is supplied, not borrowed by us, thus opening up foreign
markets that for years have been a closed book. The only SEEM
ing problem now to restore a genuine prosperity is the adjust
ment of farm prices which have been woefully low and made
doubly valueless because of the increased prices OF commodities.
This is a situation to which the best of our economists may with
profit address serious attention.
Actually the economic law will take care of the situation, if
i be permitted to operate. Industrial growth means the growth
q industrial population if this is not prohibited, and increased
nopulafiou spells increased consumption. The demand for labor
IN the mills and factories will soon cease to drain the farms
o1ce farm prices begin to pick up.
Bankers are disposed to the belief that special Legislation will
not help the farmer. We are inclined to agree with this theory.
Al best it will prove a palliative. Special legislation, as a fact,
las no place in America. Unfortunately ii is from special legis-
&ires the welfare of many well-watered railroads against all
industries, not to speak of the people. The farmer can well
afford to let economic law work itself out if the politicians will
permit it to S~erate. As it is, however, there IS clear dserimi-
cation a~eainsffhe man who feeds the nation.

Acklin glared at Kildare. His ex-
preston changed as he told him what
Mercedes had done. The girls dar-
ing won muttered approval from the
men.
Acklin walked back and forth for
a minute or two before answering.

never believe that a kid like Esteban
could make bomb good enough to

The big cow-man returned to his
pacing back and forth, as indication
that the incident was closed for the
time being. The men stood about
uneasily, wondering what they would
do next. Brother Jones spoke to
Blaze. Several others joined them.
With modesty peculiar to men of
his type, Blaze said little of his
rescue of Mercedes. Skip and the
other boys were equally reticent in
commenting on it, but they under
stood. 1t was the cowboy code.
Acklin had been drawn back to his
of the wrecked wall. So
far no definite plan of action had
evolved in his mind. His foreman
must have heard the explosion and
be on the way to his side.
Looking across the canon, he saw a
rider silhouetted against the sky. His

''That you, Double AZ"
II was chet Devine, Acklin an

shouted. II got the bird that did
this trick"
"who is he?" the Big Boss de-
handed.
II don't know. He's hidin' be-
tween here and the cedars. He's
badly wounded"
BY the time they had made the de-
scent to the valley and climbed mp
TO the high plateau on which Chef
waited. some of Morrow's men from
the peak had arrived. Cash himself
had not yet shown up. Acklin left
Patterson behind to wait for him.
Leaving their horses when they
neared the trees, the men spread out
and began beating the brush. Nov
ing in an unbroken line they advanced
toward the syot that had been the
shore OF the lake. They had come
within sight of it without discovering
any one when a voice cried out to
them: Come on. I'm done"
They saw him then leaning against
the trunk of tree. 1t was Esteban.
Ackin recognized him first.
80 it's you, eh ?" he questioned.
I'm not surprised"
II didn't think you would be-" the
boy answered with grim
Blaze came up at that. Esteban
stared at him.
Hello, Kildare" he smiled.

CHAPTER MIX,
The Clash OF Wills
While Blaze knelt with Mercedes In
his arms on the brink OF the canon
the roaring below them grew In vio
lenee. Grinding. scheeehing. ths
rushing water was ripping the hole
through which IL was pouring, into
an widening gap. The con-
crete was still green. II had set
well enough 10 hold back the placid
water. but against this flood II was
helpless. One block would give way,
and bring It's neighbors tumbllng
down with II. The titanic force.
sweeping by, caught them UP as II
they had been marbles and hurled
them into the valley.
From the bank across the canon
somebody called him. II was Melody:
good old Melody
II tried to save the DAM" Mer-
cedes murmured slowly "Basilio
H. he's down there
"You trailed Esteban, eh?"
She nodded.
1.-THE little chief may be all right"
Blaze lied, wondering how Esteban
could have failed TO think of his
brother and sister. THE water will
be spread out long before it gets to
the hacienda"
Mercedes tried to sit up.
you're not hurt?" Kildare asked.
"Just tired very tired. Blaze.
What will happen to Esteban now?"
Let the others ask that. You
keep STILL" he warned. Someone's
coming now. It'll be Acklin, too"
1t was the Big Boss. Skip and a
dozen others were with him. The
fury of the man suggested the onrush
of the angry waters through the
gorge. At first he saw only Kildare.
What did it," he shouted. "a
bomb"
His quick-acting brain had sensed
an invasion of his empire that even
the courts could not repair. He was
off his horse in advance of his men
and strding toward Blaze when he
saw Mercedes.
whats she doing here?" he bel
lowed. Without giving him time to
answer, he yelled: You saw her!
What was she up to-"
Blaze got to his feet.
"She was dom the best she could
to save the DAM" he drawed omi-
nousy.
Mercedes spoke for the first time.
II was too late" she half whis-
pered. 100 late to save even my |
little brother"
The men gathered close about her,
hanging on her words. Acklin felt
himself outside the circle of sympathy.
He turned and stared at the remains
of the dam that had been his life's
dream. Some one would pay for
that!
The lake was almost empty. Two
men waded their horses across 1t and
circled round until they were up with
the others. 1t was Brother Jones and
Melody with their questions.
Skip had produced a flask, and
Blaze doled out the stimuant to the
girl. Her face lost its whiteness.
"Guess we better get you back to
The Rancho now" he suggested
Acklin overheard him.
This is job for the sheriff" he
snarled. She's going to the Bulls
Head"
The crowd caught the clash of wills.
Blaze saw Melody. They exchanged
} glance.
"You misunderstood me slightly"
Kildares tones were too sweet, too
even. II said that she was going
home" he went on.
Acklin should have known better
than to continue this, but he was
blind with rage over his loss. He re-
fused to be warned. He raised his
nand to Skip,
