The steering gear of an automobile

the joints well fabricated every part

How to ascertain these conditions?
First, some elbow grease!
Locate Loose Connections.
To locate loose connections or worn
bearings jack up one wheel at time,
grasp the tire with both hands, and
work the wheel back and forth, not

you will expect to find some looseness

be free to move. but there shouldn't
be any play In them. A little loose
ness in each joint will cause lot of
play in the steering wheel.
The upper bearing of the steering
post should be given few drops of
oil every thousand miles. The steer
ing wheel should always be kept tight
In its tube.
The worm-gear and ball-arm only
need occasional oiling. A Shot from

Keep the ball sockets tightly adjusted,

The spindle tie-rod requires iubrica-

II they are bent it will throw the
front wheels out of line, wear the front
tires, and make steering extremely
dificult. The steering knuckles also
require oiling every five hundred miles.
These should be kept just tight

tight enough to hinder their turning

A Girl Rides Into the Range

She was perhaps two or three and
twenty, slender, of medium height,
with clear. grey, fearless eyes. and
hair OF pale brown with gold fiecks
in it. coiled up loosely about her head.
Her open mackinaw revealed an
almost boyish figure, slender and
long-waisted. She wore corduroy
breeches and riding CATERS; and there
was about her that hardly definable.
but unmistakable air of breeding that
crops out in such unexpected places
along the Anglo-Saxon frontier.
From a respectful distance the men
were staring at her, each asking Lees
unspoken question as to what such a
girl was doing in Little Falls.
That she was riding into the range
was evident. Had she been riding out,
the men would have known of her
But-whose daughter was she?
There was no one In the now de-
serted range to whom she could be
going. The only possible destination
might be the Moravian mission on the
other side. But-there were no
women at the mission. 8

/ tip came down some time ago that
Pelly has been living in the Siston
lake region. on sthe other side OF
Stony range, for good many years.

this and made quick getaway. Now

Anderson saluted. He was about to
leave the office when the inspector
called him back.
stop a moment. Sergeant. You
can guess that this man Pelly was
probably betrayed by someone with a
grudge against him. 1 suppose you
know that the Free Traders opened
up at Siston lake during the WARP"
The Free Traders, as Anderson
knew, were gang of liquor men,
organized from Montreal, and sending

work for 'em up there. Ten to one

out for Pelly's head because he
wouldn't stand in with 'em. On the
other hand there's the chance that
he's in with 'em and someone else
tipped us off. In that case you'll find
yourself up against the organization.
"This Railways believed to have
been running liquor under various
aliases for years, and there's ugly
rumor about happenings at an Indian
camp in the Far North. where the

THANK you, but had mine on the
road. And shall be going on early
in the morning."
BY now the crowd of ex-prospectors
had formed a wide circle about the
girl, standing as far as the pas
sage would permit, staring and
scrutinizing her frankly, and looking
sheepishly away whenever her un-
embarrassed glance fell upon any Of
them. Lee, hearing mutterlng be-
hind him, turned, to see the big breed
staring at the girl and whispering ex-
citedly to his companion. His red
headed partner was Juggling at his
arm as If to restrain him.
"You d--n fool, Pierre!" Lee heard
him expostulate.
Suddenly the breed shook Off the

CHAPTER l
Sergeant Anderson Rides
Into Little Falls

Lee Anderson, sergeant in the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police, had
been leading his horse up the last
hill. Now he stopped at the top and
lit his pipe, letting the animal snatch
a few blades of the sparse grass that
grew among the ferns and raspberry
brambles beside the cart track.
There were, perhaps, thirty-three or
four years to his credit. His rather
lined, deeply sunburned face and
throat contrasted markedly with the
edging of white flesh at the V-top Of
his open shirt. Lee, In his prospec-
tors clothing. appeared to be typically
one of those reserved, quiet, self-con-
tanned men whom the north breeds.
His rather heavy horse, combina-
ton of pack and saddle. was well
laden behind the rolled blankets that
formed a parapet across its shoulders.
Lee inhaled with delight the warm,
steamy exhalations of the earth, rich
with the added debris of the year.
He turned and looked forward, be-
yond the settlement of Little Falls,
lying at the foot of the slope In
front of him, the last of the settle
ments ON his side of Stony range.
1t was an unkempt. unfidy little
place. created by the advent of the
lumber companies few years before,
and struggling among the knee-high
stumps of what had been virgin forest
within the decade.
After his belated return from
France, only to find the old North
west mounted. of which he had been
a member. merged In the new Do
minlon body, Lee himself had been
stationed at Manistree. He had been
in the police eight years before the
war. 1t was the only life that APP
pealed to him. His service had ex-
pired during his term at the front, but
his first act or returning had been to
rejoin.
Inspector Crawley had sent for him
few days later,

| Pelly's arrest comes first. Soon as
you locate him, bring him out of the
range"
At dawn Lee was upon the road.
There had been rumors-recurrent
rumors of a gold find in Stony range
that summer, but the nearer Lee got
to the range the less explicit the
news became.
He passed number of men on their
way south, morose and sullen. but
ready enough to pour out their
grievance that summers prospect
ing had failed to show even a trace
of color anywhere.
Lee had listened to their stories and
then gone on, leaving the impression
that he was prospector on be-
lated journey to the range.
And now at last the range lay in
front of him, uplifting its wild peaks
into the glory of the autumn sunset.
Lee felt his heart uplifted too. This
was life at it's most zestful-the world
spaces, and the hunting of the king of
all created beings-Man.
So, leading his horse, Lee passed
down the long slope toward the set
Element Of Little Falls. Soon he was
abreast of the first shacks, set in the
elearings among the stumps. Then
came rows of uniformly ugly wooden
cottages, a small mission church with
tin roof, bank, and small hotel
announcing itself by a dilapidated
shingle.
Lee fastened his horse to the hitch
Ing post in front and entered. On
the right of the interior passage was
the dining-room, on the left the parlor,
with the furniture piled up in cor
ners and the floor strewn with duffle-
bags and blankets.
A passage ran past flight of
rickety stairs. and from a room at the
end of this came the clamor of voices.
Here Lee found the bar, packed
tight, and running wide open. Be-
hind the mahogany stood fat and
cynical-looking landlord.
"How about a room and stabling
for the night" asked Lee.
The landlord slid schooner Of beer
from one end of the bar to the middle,
and turned to Lee, his fat body
quivering. apparently with mirth.
though his face did not relax any
thing of its solemn, cynical aspect

he leaned toward her, with an ex-
preston on his face that brought the
blood into her cheeks.
Before he could utter word, how
ever, Lee stepped quietly into the
breach with that instructive air of au-
thority which he retained, despite the
shedding of his uniform.
"Thatll be ALL" he said crisply.
The breed turned on him and broke
into a string of oaths.
"Say, whadya mean?' he shouted.

Lee. mindful of the rigid code of

head.

answered.
The two men snickered, and there
came murmur Of disgust from the
crowd. which, till that moment, had
been decidedly favorable to Lee.
The breed turned about. "He never

Lee again. "Mebbe you like to set
