To her right was the cliff. slimy
with water. the trail SO narrow that
now and then her elbow dug into the
soft stun. The light rayed upward
at an acute angle. In few moments
1t would be dark. But they were
close to the top. The mare already
stood on a level ledge Of side e-jutting
rock, from which one could look down
into the canyon Of the oaks and the
unfailing stream.
Sandy heard cry from Molly and
saw, through the curtain Of the fall
ing rain. the wide-fared nostriis of
her horse. Its eyes protruding as the
brute. with the ground slopping away
beneath him. slid slowly down toward
the gulf. the girl, her weight flung for
ward on the withers, her face white
az paper, turning to him mutely for
help. It was a bad moment Sandy
had no space to turn in, no chance
to whirl his lariat, even for a side
throw. There was no time to spin a
loop. But his hand detached the rope,
flying fingers found the free end as
he pivoted in the saddle, thighs weld
ed to the mare.
Take turn about the horn |" he
shouted. "Hang to the end yo'se'fw
He sent the line Jerking back, whis-
tling as 1t streaked across the girls
shoulders. She clutched for 1t, with
plenty Of slack, snubbed 1t about the
saddle horn, clung to the end, made
blight Of It about her body.
Sandy spoke to the mare.
STEADY, LII lady. steadyl" The
rope was about his own horn; he
thanked God that he had examined the
cinches Of Molly's saddle. The bay
was cat-footed; with the help Of the
mare Sandy believed he could dig and
scrape and climb to safety.
He felt Goldie stifren beneath him,
braced against the strain she knew
was coming. The taut lariat hummed,

the bay snorted, struggling gallantly.
They were poised -on the brink Of
death for a moment, two-three-and
then the mare began to move slowly
forward, neck curved, ears cooked to
her masters urging, while the bay
sloshed through the treacherous muck,
found foethold, lost It, made frantic

on the ledge. Sandy leaped from his

revulsion Of terror, clinglng closely

and they rode slowly down. The tur-

Sandy had only once crossed the
Pass Of the Goats and that was years
before. There had been washouts
since then. Several times they were
forced to dismount and lead the nerv-
GUS beasts, Sandy doing the coaxing,
helping Molly over the difficult places
he rode a mare named Goldie and
the girl a bay with white blaze that
Sandy had chosen for the mountain
work and which had been brought to
them at the lava strip.
The mare halted, neck stretched
out, turning It to look inquiringly at
her master. A sharp incline lay ahead,
the path little better than one made
by the goats for which the pass was
named. Behind, Molly's mount fol-
lowed suit, blowing at the dust. Sandy
patted the mares neck and dis
mounted.
"Yo're sure game, Molly" he said
admiringly; 'you must be clean tuck

She shook her head with an attempt
at a smile.
"I'll be glad when we start goin'

looking into the gloomy trough Of the
canyon through which the night wind
soughed.

said the girl.
A great cloud was ballooning above
them, like dlrigible that had lost
buoyancy and was humping along the
mesa ridge. Its belly was black, It's
western side ruddy In the sunset.

cloud was soggy with moisture. Burst

down every ravine, wash out wealth

rushed out on the desert.
Where Molly and Sandy rode they
were exposed to the first drench Of q
cloudburst.
Sandy examined his own cinch and
ughtened 1t before he mounted. And
he whispered something In the mares
ear that caused her to lip his sleeve.

It was growing cold in the twilight.
One spire ahead glowed golden. The
cloud drifted down upon 1t, glooming
and glowing on its sunset side. The
uag pierced 1t, ripped 1t as 1t glided
along, like the knife Of diver In the
belly Of shark. A cold wind blew
from the riven mass. Then came the
hiss Of descending waters.
Through the steady patter began to
sound the savage voice of torrents
falling over cliffs. rapids rising and
surging In deep gorges. The wetness
and the cold sapped Molly's vitality.

DAIRY NOTES

SSSsSSSSSSSsSSSsSSss ssssssSSSSsssSsSSSSSSssSSSSs$
Nobody cries when a scrub bull dies.
Don't keep cows. Make cows keep
you.
Good cream is clean cream, kept
cool
tuberculosis Is community prob
lem.
Fall calving usually gives best
results.
The dairy COW. like human n~beIng,
enjoys sunshine.
The most successful dairymen raise
most of their cows.
Milk from infected cows or from q
creamery should be pasteurized before
II Is fed.
Milk substitutes are not equal to
milk, but give fair results when used
with care.
Creameries prefer the rich cream, as
they can use 1t more easily and
efficiently.
All calves should be fed regularly;
very young calves should be fed three
times day.
The dairyman who produces and
sells low grade Of cream is nipplng

Young dairy stock should have all
the hay they will eat, and grain. in
proportion to weight.
Keep the milk cool and the uten-
