had changed. He stood motionless
in the dark. Then the sound came
again. Hoofs thumped on the sog-
gy earth.
He judged two animals. It might
be his packs coming toward the
meadow. But then above the splash
of rain about the cabin, he heard a
mans muttering. Instinct carried
him a step closer to the door, away
from the combining walls. Then he
halted. The thud of approach out
side was too near. Another muffled
voice joined the first.
Though the tones were indistinct,
he could guess the owners. This
was Tillson country. That shot
awhile ago told plainly enough what
had brought them out tonight. He
glanced to the loft and reached up
instantly as a dim shape moved
out there in the dark. Tumult of the
storm covered the noise as he
sprang, caught one log, and drew
himself across the, others that
formed a crude floor. Face down
to the cracks, he lay for breath
less moment while the thud Of
horses hoofs ended and man came
in below.

open space of a meadow. He dis
mounted, tied Kit and continued on
afoot. Where trees ended and grass

That meant a pasture and perhaps
a cabin. He was rain-soaked; the

Gliding to leave his horse hidden in
the trees, he moved on alone. Half
an hour Of feeling along the fence

It was deserted; even from where
he stopped he could make out the
door swinging on loose hinge. Yet
he approached with gun ready and
stood near the easement before
peering in. When he struck a match
the room showed wet and empty.
In the flash Of light he looked into

Small logs placed across the beams

Bell Presented to Illinois Church by
King of France lowed Up River by Hand

Closely associated with the early
history Of Illinois is an old church
bell, cast in the year 174l. It was
presented to the congregation Of the
Catholic church at Kaskaskia by the
king Of France. II required two
.Eears' time for Tho bell to,smake
the journey from France to Illinois.
It was shipped to New Orleans. and
from there II was lowed up the
Mississippi river by manpower, the
men walking along the river bank
and pulling by ropes the raft con-
taining the bell.
The historic bell, whose mellow
tones were the FIRST Of the kind to
~ heard IN the Upper Mississippi
valley, weighs $50 pounds and Il =
inches high. One side u ornament
ed with the royal Ii = Of France in
relief. The other sioe bears cross

CHAPTER VII

There had been some thunder dur
ing the night, and as Breck threw
back his tarp at dawn. q storm
threatened south over the country
into which he was to move. A cloud
curled through the morning sky like
q black fist with forearm resting on
the eastern summit. It expanded
quickly. Pink flashes played on the
upper side. By the time he had
wrangled up his animals and was
ready to pack, that one cloud COW
cred the whole range.
Sharpen up your axes and in
spect your tools first thing" Cook
advised him. There's fire up yon-
der, though this is pretty early for
lightning to strike u.s."
Breck's start was later than he
had hoped. Ascent was slow. At
noon he ate in his saddle, pushed on
until he crossed the divide, and
about three o'clock halted to scan
the new country.
It was not an inviting area. From
this view it was apparently impass-
able, except afoot, where a man
must 60 over the cliffs on ropes and
trust to luck. Yet the Tillsons used
it, and they were not walking men.
Breck unfolded his contour map,

stimdsfins Beverages

The stimulating beverages are
coffee, tea. chocolate and cocoa.
When made with milk, chocolate
and cocoa are rich in nutritive
values, though their fuel value va
ries with the product used. Choco-
late Is much richer in fat than
cocoa and products labeled
breakfast cocoa" usually contain
q larger percentage Of the natural
cocoa fat than products simply la
beled. "cocoa."
The food value Of coffee and tea
depends entirely upon the cream

they are served. However, they

reading the lines that denoted the
meadows and canyons. At Sulphur
Creek was blank patch marked
"Unsurveyed."
He thrust the map impatiently into
his pocket. Time was too short to-
day for a ride very far down, but
then, gauging with his eyes, he
picked up a transverse ridge that
left the bank of Sulphur Canyon a
short distance below its head, and
turning south dropped toward Rock
House. II looked like an easy route.
He could explore little of the coun-
try down there, then follow the ridge
back to his main trail.
Goof objected. Brock took a loop
OF the lead rope around his saddle
horn and snaked him. Soon they
were sliding from the summit on
long swale of loose rock. Upon
reaching the canyon he entered
abruptly into twilight.
Presently he came to a small.

Refreshing Beverages

The refreshing beverages in
clude fruit juices, fruitades and
carbonated drinks, such as ginger
ale and sarsaparilla. They are ef-
fective in quenching thirst and
their appetizing fiavors encourage
the drinking of generous amounts
Of water. They also contribute
energy values to the diet in pro-
portion to the amount of sweeten-
ing used in their preparation.
Fruit juices are most frequently
served as an appetizer at break
fast, lunch or dinner. Fruitades
are useful as between-meal drinks
and when entertaining. Children
like to display their hospitality to
friends and this type of beverage,
served with a few crackers or
simple cookies, makes an attrac-
tive snack.
Mothers will find it convenient
and economical to utilize for this
purpose beverage crystals which
come in q variety Of fruit flav6fs.
These make wholesome, refresh
ing beverages at a minimum cost;
the amount Of sweetening may be
determined by Individual prefer
ence; and they are so easily pre-
pared that children may do the
mixing themselves.

Guard Against stsIensss

The subject of coffee has been
Investigated from many angles by
competent scientists, whose find
ings should be Of interest to home
makers. The flavor and aroma Of
coffee are derived chiefly from q
volatile oil, which is developed
during the roasting process. But
il has been established that this
substance is rapidly lost from the
coffee upon exposure to air. More
over, each pound of coffee con-
tains about two ounces of fixed oil
which may become rancid in the
presence OF air. These changes
occur whether the coffee is ground
or in the bean.
Since stale, havorless coffee
may have an adverse effect upon
appetite, II is important to buy .
product that Is protected against
the air, or to choose one that b
freshly roasted. The homemaker
should also buy coffee In small
quantities SO that II can be used
up quickly once II il opened. After
the coffee has been made, there
may be q further escape Of its
flavor and fragrance with both
heat and steam. That is why cof-
fee should not be allowed to stand,
but should be served the moment
it is made, and why it should not
be relocated.
Tea also deteriorates when it ID
stored for long periods. 1t should
therefore be bought in small guam
titles and kept in air-tight con-
tainers.

ucts from the body through the
lungs, skin and kidneys.
The daily losses of water from
the body must be replaced regu-
larly or the consequences may be
extremely serious to health. It
has been shown that headaches,
nervousness and indigestion may
result when the intake of fluids is
diminished below normal require
ments.

CHAPTER VIM

The horses thumped on again.
Presently there sounded the creak Of
q corral gate being opened and
closed. Then both men returned to
the cabin.
Hell of night" one began. "He
ort to be here. Amt no"
''Shut up your grumbling and rus
tie some woodi" This was Jud
again.
The other tramped out. The cabin
was as quiet and dark as If deserted.
Breck peered through the crack be-
tween loft poles, knowing he was
within yard or two Of the man
down there, yet could see nothing.
Dumping Of boots returned. Wood
crashed down. Stove lids ratified.
A match fared and soon after that
the room was flooded in red light,
for the men left lid of and warmed
their hands over the open flame.
In moment, when they took of
their hats, hanging them to dry on
pegs behind the stove, Brock had his
first full look at Hep.
His head was bent little, but his
face was clearly revealed in the
freight. Dark hair fell in strings
over fat, marrow forehead. He
had the same thin features as the
other brothers, yet weaker than
theirs, with q loose, puffed-out
mouth.
Both men stood through a time Of
silence. Hep spoke first, sullenly.
He ortn't keep US waitin' like thisi"
Jud said nothing.
maybe he amt goin' to come at
ALL" Hep persisted.
II told him to-" Jud answered.
yeah, but Arts gettin' damned
independent these days. He needs .
good handlin'."
Whatever Arts getting Is none
Of your business" Jud said evenly.
"And If any handling Is to be done,
I'll do it. Seer"
Helps gaze shifted before his
brothers. His loose, lips opened,
closed. He glowered as he rolled .
cigarette.
Rain leaked down upon Breck's
back, trickled along his sides and
fell through the logs where he lay.
Not much Of the stoves heat came
up to him. His outstretched arms
grew numb.
He was certain that more than an
hour passed. Jud and Hep smoked,
stamped their feet, said nothing, un-
til abruptly Jud threw down his Gig
arctic.
"Cover the stove!"
The lid slipped over the hole. In
stantly the room was dark. Breck
heard the men move outside and
took advantage OF that to shift his
body.
Soon a low whistle came from the
distance.
Jud spoke from close beyond the
door. "All right, Art. We're here"
He and Hep returned, followed in
moment by the brother who
pushed back the stove lid as they
had done, swung the rain from his
hat and hung it on peg.
WELL" Jud asked at once, did

What do you mean-'stopped
him'?"
"Just what say. l turned him
from Sulphur. His packs broke loose
and God knows where they led
him."
''You dam fool!" Hep cut in.
"You didn't get him7"
Breck saw Arts young face, red
above the stove, harden in scornful
lines. II amt shootin' in the back, I"
he sneered. Like you dol"

Reply came in q low mutter from
beyond the doorway. I'VE can wait.

Sierra explained, because you
found her here. That kids a thor

been four generations of Temples
grazing their stuff on Temple Mead
ow. Then along came a girl and
into q boy. Didn't work at all.
Louy went to school and got ideas
about paintin' pictures and then told
Tom she was clearin' out. goin' to
the city and learn more. She did
too, went plumb to New York

sThen two years ago her old man
got throwed and is crippled for the
rest Of his days. Did Louy keep up
her fight with him! Not any! She
amt scrappin' fellow when he's
down. That's why she's back here,
ridin' range the way Tom has al
ways wanted her to ride. But the
poor kid! God, l know she's given
up everything"
Breck sat with thoughts flashing
back to reconstruct their meeting at
the dance. Again he heard Louise
say, II hope we Rubes haven't dis
appointed you" Now he began to
realize her meaning. He had taken
too much for granted that night.
''Win she be up here?" he asked.
"Yep; with the drive on the fif-
teenth." Sierras gaze speculated
upon him for some time. Suddenly
he said, "You know, you ought to
marry that girl! Yes sir, you two
would mate right we'll"
Brock laughed. Sierra's putting it
like that gave him a queer start.
He shrugged to pass off the feeling
what about Art Tillson, Slim?"
THAT'S Q fact. She favors him
some"
.'Can you tell me why?"
God knows. Unless she thinks
she can help him. Arts in the
wrong corral"
From what Brock had seen he
considered young Tillson the same
sort as his two brothers. He said

For "A hour Breck lay back on

Doubtless one Of the most dramatic
events associated with it occurred
on the night Of July 4, 1778, when
Kaskaskia was captured from the
British by Col. George Rogers
Clark.
Because Of his smaN force. Clark
was compelled to terrorize the citi-
zens Of Kaskaskia and they were
made to believe that horrible fate
awaited them. On the following
morning a mournful farewell meet
ing was held in the church, after
which several prominent members
Of the congregation called on Clark
and informed him they were ready
to meet their doom. The o1acer
then undeceived them by disclosing
his true intentions. He also as
sured them they had nothing to fear
II they would support the American
cause. In his memoirs Clark states
that this announcement turned sor-
row into great joy and an elaborate
celebration was held. On this oc-
casion the bell pealed forth ''long

Beverages Classified

The quantity Of water needed by
each person varies with the di-
etary and with the season Of the
year, much larger amounts being
required when the temperature is
high. But it is generally agreed
that everyone should consume sew
eral glasses of water daily, in ad-
dition to the water obtained from
foods, chiefly fruits and vegeta-
bles. Part Of the need is met by
milk, and by coffee, tea, cocoa,
fruit juices and various other
fruit-havored drinks which add
pleasure to mealtime, serve as
wholesome, between-meal pick
me-ups, and provide a gracious
method of extending hospitality to
guests.
Aside from milk, which belongs
In 4 classification by itself, and
fruit juices which are consumed
chiefly for their minerals and vita
minis, beverages fall into two
groups which overlap somewhat:
those that are refreshing and those
that are stimulating.

Stations Should Have
The Best Feed Rations

The choicest, soundest feeds
should be reserved for valuable
sire. Main reliance will be placed
on oats, bran, and light-mixed clover
and timothy or timothy hay A
few ears Of corn are of benefit
to a stallion that is inclined to keep
thin. Clean pasture grass during
the season and carrots when grass
is not available are valuable aids in
promoting health.
The heavily used stallion requires
as much feed as a hard-worked
horse. A healthy, vigorous, muscu-
lar condition is greatly to be pre-
ferred to a soft, fabby, overdone
condition. A stallion that loses
weight rapidly during the breeding
season is not likely to be a sure
breeder. 1t is preferable, if possible,
to start the season with the stallion
in lean condition and increase his
weight a little during the season.
The extreme fitting to which some
stations are subjected in being pre-
pared for the showing has some
times been a detriment to their flu
ture value as sires.
