81 BILL DRIVE

Despite tbs prevailing ory Cor
economy u the Government sefN-
ice. Uncle Sam is going to be
forced to pass up an opportunity to
save more than $1,000 900 8 year
because OF the prevailing supersti-
tuition against the 81 bill.
It was announced today by off.
Gals OF the Treasury Department
that there probably viii IS 10 fur.
Their carnpaign To induce the public
to accept the naligned 81 notes on
. large scale. Every effort will be
made, however, to keep up the
present circulation Of this type of
bin.
The campaign TO popuIarize the

has been q failure and probably

indicated today.
For d little more than 3 year
the Treasury Department has been
seeking to combat the old supersti-
ton Of bad luck which has be-
come firmly attached 70 the 81
bill.
81 BIN Comes Back
The department had hoped to in
crease the ratio OF 81 bills to about
thirty-five to every 100 81 bilIs.
The ratio before the campaign be-.
gan was about eight to 100. Al.
though immense numbers Of 81
bills were printed and put into
circulation, they have been returned
In large quantities to banks and
to the Treasury, It was learned.
It was explained today that It
costs the Government approximate
~ Ia cents to print each bill put
into rcirculation, regardless Of It's
denomination and 1t costs 3 cents d
year to maintain the bill In circu,
lation.
An increase In the total number
Of So bills in circulation would per-
init decrease by double that
amount Of the number Of ST bills
It was explained. It Is estimated
that the Federal Government must
print 100000 900 bills year more
than would be necessary II the
proper proportion OF So bills could
be issued and kept in circulation.
The campaign for acceptance OF
the silver dollar, more popularity
known as ''cartwheels,' = was
launched because Of the tremendous

by their handling by garage men.

Are you tired all the time; wornout

dizziness, headaches, rheumatic twin

You have good cause, then, to be
alarmed about your kidneys. Do as
many of your townfolk recommend.
Use Doan's Pills-a stimulant diuretic
to the kidneys. This Spokane case is
convincing. +.

The Boston Tea Party which
gave coffee its flying start on the
road to becoming Americas nat
ional beverage.
events gave coffee a flying start
along the road to becoming our
national beverage. But the vir-
tues of the drink itself, and the
measures taken by the manufac-
turer during the various stages
the article passes through on it's
way to the kitchen, afford the real
basis for the position coffee holds
today.
During the era Of coffee's wide
spread popularity in this country
the manufacturer, by means of ex-
perimentation and research, has
evolved many improvements in the
method of preparing coffee for the
pot. For instance, it has been the
almost universal custom to roast
coffee in large quantities, but now
q machine has been developed that
improves the taste of coffee by
roasting small quantities at a
time.
In accordance with this latest
development in the art Of coffee
roasting, the coffee is passed in
small quantities through per-
forated tubes revolving over care
fully regulated fires. This per-
mits constant ventilation; and
purifying circulation of fresh air
carries off the fumes of roasting,
preventing their absorption by the
coffee. While this machine roasts
small quantities at time, the
total output per hour is far greater
than that produced by former
methods.

racked.

Call right, all right-control your

cally.
Buck, taking it all in at the key
hole, grinned to himself.
Taggart was speaking again:
NOW you go to your hotel-Tm
going home. After I've got what l
want from Buck in the morning I'll
call for YOU"
At these words Buck darted like
flash down the stairs, leaped to his
horse, and sped hotfoot for the Hotel
Rio Grande.
When Stella arrived at the hotel
Buck was waiting at the door, He
slouched up to her and said.
"Say, want to see you-private."
He indicated a corner of the lobby
where they could talk unheard. After
they had seated themselves, he be-
gan,
II jes happened to be passing Tag
CARTS office, and overheard the little
confab you two were havin'."
He paused, and watched her face.
She showed surprise, but affected an
air of calm, and simply replied, "Yes?"
After a moments silence, Buck said
sneeringly,
$50 you're fallin' fer his stuff, too,
eh?" Then, after pause, he grabbed
her hand and went on, "Looka here
he's gonna pull the same game on you.
He's gonna double-cross us both If he
can. Why, he told me he was usin'
you only cause We came in handy.
When he's through with We he'll do
the same to you as he thinks he's
gonna do to me-"
Stella smiled
II thought of all that" she said.
But he's not the only smart one."
"You bet he amt" Buck said
"And l DO know what the topaz
means. But he amt never gonna
learn it from me. And I'm gonna get
my hands on that map-and that
topaz-and then"
Stella, who was smiling more
broadly, interrupted, saying,
II figured he might pull some game
on me, like he was on you, SO didn't
take any chances-look!"
From her handbag she drew the
two pieces of the map.
They both grinned.
"And the topaz" asked Buck.
well, couldn't get away with
that" Stella replied. But he doesn't
know how to use it, and without this
he's helpless"
Bucks eyes cleaned elatedly.
Look here" he said, "Pll get the
topaz-tonight-an we'll go $3.50.

CHAPTER 81.
Buck Wins the First Lap.

1t was past midnight. Except for
Terence, Mary and Bud, riding up
and down the street aimlessly, and
talking in low voices, the streets of
Pico were deserted. They had found
no trace of Buck, nor any clew to
follow.
Suddenly the street was flooded
with the glare of automobile head.

Look out!" cried Terence, and
they pulled their horses to the edge
of the road just in time to avoid be

enlist the aid of the law. He was still
motivated by greed-he wanted to
lay hold of the Yaqui treasure and
streak for the. border. He figured that
if the sheriff's posse would overtake
and arrest Buck, he would recover
the map and the topaz; and get away
alone with the treasure before the
prisoners on the ranch would be freed
and his own criminal operations dis
covered.
The sheriff came out, got his horse,
joined Taggart who fastened to tell
him more of the robbery. Other men,
deputies, 'phoned by the sheriff, were
beginning to ride up.
They'll be going for Sierra Diablo,' .
said Taggart. you've wanted this
Buck Mcleod for a long time, any
way, sheriff. Well, here's your chance"
The posse, at last complete, start
ed off on the gallop for Sierra Diablo.
"Look-we're catching up!" cried
Terence.
Mary and Bud strained their eyes
forward. Sure enough the lights of
their madly racing car lighted up for
an instant the shape of the rear of
the automobile they were pursuing.
They had been tearing along the
perilous canyon. road at breakneck
speed for more than an hour.
The shape ahead suddenly vanished
around sharp bend in the road.

Were giving her all she can take

They took the curve practically on
two wheels. The shape of the car
ahead again came into view for an in
slant. Then it disappeared around a
second and sharper curve. AS Ter
ence took this curve the car missed
going off the edge of the road by an
inch.
Both cars were sWerving and skid
ding perilously now, as the road
wound around rocks, juts and crew
ices. The road at this point paralleled
sheer embarkment along a stream,
many feet below.
They were gradually gaining
ground on the leading car, and con-
graduating themselves when sudden

toward the embankment.

over all their faces.

They've gone over!" Stella, look

She saw the pursuing car, after it

they kept on their way, slowing down
