Is industrial America about to
crumble, or is it headed. forward to
unprecedented prosperity? "
The Hearst newspapers have carried
that question to the one American who
ought to know, the greatest indus
trialist in the United States-Henry
Ford.
As result, through series of in
terricws, America has for the first
tune the opportunity of peeping into
the workings of the mind of the most
successful manufacturer the world has
ever known.
Many questions were submitted to
Mr.. Ford fOt discussions. Are We ex-
banding industrially at too fast a
pace? Docs the United States need a
new national business policy? VIII
the present Ueriod of high wages end
shortly? Arc the mergers now taking
place in the larger industries neces-
sary and beneficial:
All these and many more subjects
are discussed by Henry Ford under
his own signature. In telling of his
own victories he points the way to
victory fJr Crbers. He tells the magic
formula b. winch he carries his gigan-
tic burIen-a business employing
100000 workers, not one of whom re-
ceives less than SIS day. which, in
GLIDING allied plants, provides a liv-
ing for more than 100000 people.
This extraordinary story is not a
technical work. The romance Of Henry

Terence and Bud:
"Quick-take care of them, bind
them up and don't let them get away
this time on your lives. -Stella, see,
the map on the table-grab it"
Stella seized the two old fragments.
Mary dived toward her, but two of the
rustlers caught her, and her strug-
giles were futile. The rest of the
gang had rushed in and overpowered
Terence and Bud, who had fought lus-
tily but unavaiiingly against over
whelming numbers.
They were tieing the three up in
chairs.
See that everything is fixed here

He strobe out of the room, fol

While Taggart gave these orders,
Buck listened with sullen, disagree
able expression on his face Taggart
and Stella strobe to the door. Buck
sneaked out cautiously behind them,
leaving his men to complete binding
the prisoners.
Outside the door Buck listened to
Taggart talking to Stella, as they
went down the hallway. Taggart was
saying:
did you notice how Buck acted?
He knows too much. But l have a

The Wolf Unmasked

The first to arrive back at the Bar
M Ranch was Stella Montrose. Wear
led after the strenuous day, she
climbed the stairs of the ranch house,
threw herself on a bed and was soon
fast asleep.
Mary, Terence and Bud arrived
short time later. They laid the two
sections of the old map out on the
living room table, and studied it.

Mary. 1T is useless without the Sc
cret of the topaz"
Meyer mind, dear, we will be re-
warded with success in the end" re-
piled Terence II shall get that man
Buck, and wrest from him the secret
of the topaz If it's the last thing
do"
He looked at the map thoughtfully.
"The first thing we ought to do is
make copy of this, in better shape"
Terence remarked. ut will be too in
convenient to be fumbling with two
pieces"
Mary brought him pencil and pa
per. He pieced the two fragments to-
gether laid the paper over them, and
traced the lines and figures Of the
map.
There" he said, when he had fin
ished, scanning his copy to see that 1t
was correct in all its details. THAT
will be much handler to work with"
He folded the copy up, and placed
it in his pocket, leaving the two old
fragments lying on the table.
Now the next thing to do is to
figure out how to trail this man Buck,
and get the secret of the topaz. Then
all will be clear sailing"
He pondered, and said:
Mary, you rest here tonight-but
am going to take the trail Of Buck
this very night"
He emphasized his intention by
pounding the table with his fist, with
such force that vase, which they
had placed on the edge Of the table,
to clear the center for the map, top
pied off and with a loud crash broke
to bits on the floor
Stella Montrose awoke from her
slumber with start at the sound
of the crashing vase downstairs, and
rubbed her eyes. Hearing voices in
the parlor, she jumped up, surprised
as she recognized the voices, and hur-
riedly descended the stairs.

CHAPTER ~
Komi's Gift

kOmIS 0Ut
While the hut was falling, its weak
walls gaped open, the occupants slid
out and were hurled to earth at
different points.
Terence, clinging to Mary in his
arms, was first to slide out. They
landed in a clump of brushwood on a
ledge, half way down. The brush
broke their fall and saved them from
serious injury. Coming. out of his
daze, Terence turned his attention
to Mary. She revived few minutes
later, and they embraced tenderly in
the joyous discovery that both had
survived. Then they clambered to
their feet and started searching for
the others.
Descending cautiously down the
steep mountainside, they found Bud,
who luckily had escaped similarly.
The three went on farther. At the
bottom they found the dead body Of
poor little Miguel.
Bud, deeply touched, knelt at his
side, pressed the cold hand, and MUIR
INJURED sadly:
"Goodby-little pal"
In the wreckage of the hut they
heard groans, and rushed towards it.
They found old Komi caught in the
debris, unable to extricate himself.
They lifted him out, and carried him
aside, but as they bent over him 1t
became apparent that the last of the
Yaquis was mortally injured.
The old Indian, in great suffering,
breathing hard, turned his eyes to
Mary and Terence and recognized
them. With painful effort he
reached into his torn blouse and with

but not being able to make it out

piece | inherited from my father"
He drew forth his own fragments,
and pieced the two together. After
a scrutiny, he said:
But it still does not indicate the
exact spot-there must be something
else, key to"
| Old Komi, gasping as his life ebbed,
interrupted, saying, with difficulty:
'The secret is in-the topaz-yOur
father, O'Rourke, put it there-he Ko
mrs friend, too-He could read the
signs"
Komi clutched his chest, as breath
ing became harder, gasped, and went
on-"But O'Rourke was killed-the
topaz was not found on his body-ask
Komi's great white friend, Marshall
he knows-who-"
He could not finish his sentence.
With a last gasp the old Indian ex-
PRED, and sank back, dead.

Salvador Reduces Consular Fees

u
The consular fee for certifying bills
changed from $40 gold per set to 81
gold per set for each $500, or fraction
thereof, of the value of the merchan-
disc as shown by the consular in
voice, but in no case shall the fee
exceed $40, by a decree effective
November 30, 1925, according to in
formation from Consul w. J. Mccall
ferty, San Salvador, distributed by
the Foreign Tariffs Division Of the
Bureau Of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce. This change is due to
protests from small importers against
the former fee of $40 irrespective of
the quantity or value of the goods.
