Now and then the girl .stopped, breathless with the beauty of the change; and often on a ridge she would pause long enough to call Mat- eo's attention to the nisuuta,ins- ffr1 • .in the --Mateo listened and looked in silence. He saw not the mountains but La • Santita, rising like the figure of a robed saint, beyond them. Jose and his partner were hiding in the shadow of the mesquite thickets at its base. Mateo knew his life was safe, but he was worried for two reasons; per- haps she did not have the money after all; perhaps Eason might decide to follow immediately. La Santita rose hither and sharper. In outline, as they drew near, and suddenly the shadow of the towering rock fell upon them. They turned to take the downward trail to the fiats, and the horses slowed up. Here was the place! Two figures darted from the bruslu The horses reared. The girl exclaimed sharply, then screamed in a voice that went through Mateo like the thrust of a knife, as she was dragged from her horse and thrown to the ground. Mateo watched her gasping strug- gle. She fought wildly at first, then gradually weakened. She spoke just once in a weak, spent, pleading voice: "Oh, Mateo, help me!" They were using her roughly. She was pinned on her face, and Mendel, gose's partner, was binding her arms behind her. Jose turned from the saddle -bags. His voice was harsh with threat. "The money isn't here! Where is it?" Mateo cringed, and the horses he was holding shied as Jose stepped to- ward him. "I know not, Jose." "Search her!" Jose said angrily. The girl faintly answered. "Don't toth me, you beasts! Let me go— I'll get the money if that is what yOu want!" With one arm loosed, she drew from a fold in her skirt the package. Jose seized it and laughed. "Dios! Here it is!" He shoved it into his shirt. "Now, hurry, put her on the horse," he snapped. She caught his meaning. "You have the money—won't you let me Jose's lean face looked almost plea- sant in the moonlight. "You go !" he repeated in English, then said in Spanish: "We are going over the border to the Ralio Hills. From there we shall send Mateo to your father for money for you. If he does not send it—" "You aren't so contemptible as that!" He was bringing up her horse but turned at her words, catching her meaning if he did not understand her words. "Would you lock at me? Am I handsome? No! not in your eyes! But I shall have if I want it—what Eason would have!"

"Peace, dog," Jose said sharply. Mateo felt a warmish, sweetish something on his ii. he. keseo, biGiAl. -The clattering in his soul grew louder. They started away, breaking sharp- ly from the main trail, and taking the one that crossed the alkali waste be- yOnd the river. The girl swayed weakly h. the sad- dle for she had undergone rough treatment; but Jose knew better than to force her to ride with him while her strength lasted. Mateo rode behind. Only once did she turn to him, and then her faint! words had shown no trace of anger,! only a deep, dreadful pity—"Mateo, you poor, little doward!" The dry powder began to drift up, and soon the girl called for water, but Jose did not stop. An hour passed, and the moanings of the girl grew into broken mutter- ings that almost seemed, and yet were not, the speech of delirium. Mateo heard her speak her father's name again and again with a love and yerning that made his small soul sick within him. Before her might lie something that was worse than death, and the chances were, Mateo knew, that it might come; for Jose was infamous in more ways than one. The girl aroused herself and beg- ged piteously for water. "Jose!" -Mateo called hesitatingly, "won't you give—" Jose -turned and said savagely: "Peace, you! There is none! Peace— or you sleep long!" Mateo, already dumbfounded at what 'lie had heard himself say, for he had spoken before he thought, sank into quick silence. Another hour passed—an hour of the same terrible desert silence and the girl's low talking to herself. She was drooping far over the saddle, and her hair had fallen like a veil about her. They climbed a ridge, and beyond it Mateo saw a small valley. In the centre a small spot gleamed like a pool of silver. His parched mouth opened in a murmur of- joy—"Del Carto." It was the famous spring of which he had heard many tales. The horses caught the scent of the water and hurried on. Soon it lay before them, down in a deep cut. Jose and Mendel gave their reins to Mateo, and slid dawn to the pool. Mateo stepped beside the girl's horse. "You shall soon have water, Senorita," he said softly. The girl lifted her sagging head; clear consciousness seemed to some to her at the familiar sound of his voice; she stared at him with eyes that were bright and wide in the moonlight. In a tone that started the clattering again in Mateo's soul, she whispered: "Mateo, oh, Mateo, if you were only a man!" "A man, Senorita? . I am a man," he -answered in surprise. Then he understood how she had used the English word. He looked up into heiglaee, white in the moonlight andlus* e,ore softly. T not a man!" he muttered slowly. Hiselips drew tight :over his teeth; a warm something came from his lips again, from the reopened bruise where Jose's fist had landed. "I not a man!" he muttered, and something seemed to burst within him. Jose and Mendel were drinking slowly, and therefore wisely, stopping to rest, then drinking again; their thirst was great. Jose was sprawling on the spring's edge, as was Mendel. The two dark figures against the brightness of the silvery pool made two splendid targets, and the auto- matic was hair -triggered. Mateo drew it from its holster. The dull barrel caught the moon- light and rested in a line on Jose's chest. In that brief moment, the clattering in Mateo's soul died to a beautiful peace. He heard the girl's low gasp of great wonder, and understanding. Ile ran his tongue across his bat- tered lips, He did. not tremble—he was a man! With a sigh of some ,new, deep, rich content, he touched the trigger once—twiceo (The End.) • a. • - ue (111 st" WOMAN WHO GIVES REST 15 MOST ATTRACTIVE, Discussing half a dozen women friends a few days ago, guests at a' little dinner party were surprised to discover the popularity of a woman whom none had believed to have an original personality, says the Conti- nental edition of "The London Mail." Pleasant, kind, lively, interesting she undoubtedly is, but it was a man who explained the attraction which makes her companionship desired by all her friends. •I "She gives rest," lie said. "And rest is the greatest gift a woman has to give. No one in Helen's presence can long be conscious of life's enermous disarrays; she heals. Her very pres- ence is harmonious; she gives a sense of serenity to the restless. That is why every one loves her." Very few women are able to bestow the gift of peace on those whom they meet in daily life. No woman whese mind is restless, who has not accepted with gracious- ness the reconciliations between the ideal and the real, has power to give rest. For this power does not come from anything ese,euperfieial as. the pose aL ariTguid ease, nor does it belong to the' quiet woman who so often is also the dull woman. Only the woman whose mind has found rest through discipline, through courage, through strength; can heal the wounds of the disturbed soul. Women who have this power give to their friends the assurance of ee-' curity. Very many women who de- light to -day displease to -morrow. One is unable to depend on their stability. But the woman who gives rest does, not change her attitudes or her con- victions or her moral standards; she is no romanticist, but because she is in tune with life and her own setting she creates harmony around her.

The doctor had come and gone, and Evelyn was resting, and the household was quieting doWn after the accident. But up in her room Marcia was fac- ing one of the biggest battles of her _life. Evelyn Rogers, Marcia's "fairy princess," for whose three-day visit Marcia had compelled the house and everyone in it to put on holiday garb, would now have to stay for several weeks until she was well enough to be moved. And Uncle Garland and Aunt Lydia were coming next week! They were dear people, but Uncle Garland did all sorts of things with his knife and fork, and Aunt Lydia said "you was" and "ain't" and wore gingham aprons all the time. And Miss Prissy, Conway would come trailing in and out, and Nelly Barnum—all the neigh-; bars with their everyday grammar and manners and interests. By a great - effort Marcia had managed to keep' them all away for the three days of Evelyn's visit, but nothing she could! do could keep them away for three' weeks. Marcia sat grimly facing it all. And because she was honest she did! more; she faced herself too. Anybody who -does that needs to be brave, for! he is sure to make unpleasant dis- coveries. "Marcia Eldridge," she said to her- self, "you are a snob! As much as Tess Clayton, whom you've despised for years. Are you actually ashamed of Uncle Garl and Aunt Lydia and, plucky Nell Barnum and all the rest' of them! Their courage and honesty and dear warm hearts don't seem to you half so big as their little slips in grammar. Oh, but I despise you, Marcia Eldridge, just despise you! I'm going to 'fess up to Evelyn this minute." Evelyn looked up anxiously as Mar- cia opened the door. "Marcia, I'm feeling so dreadfully to put you to all this trouble! I'll take myself' away the first minute the doctor will let me. I promise you that!" "Trouble!" Marcia retorted scorn- fully. "I've discovered something that is trouble! I've discovered that I'm a great big snob! I am ashamed of all sorts of little foolish trifles— that when Uncle Garl and Aunt Lydia come you will have to be moved into ny room and will discover all kinds of makeshifts that I -have been keep- ing from you. I've found that I hate like poison to have you see the every- day dishes and clothes and the kind of neighbors that come in. and out all day.

As my family is fond of fruit of all kinds I dried a quantity of peaches last year and was surprised at the number of palatable, though inexpen- sive dishes made with the peaches chopped and used instead of raisins in fruit cake, pork -cake and puddings, also used them in place -of dried ap- ples in a recipe for dried -apple cake and found it delicious. Dried peaches covered with water and allowed to stand for twenty-four hours, when a little sugar is added, makes a good 'sauce, tasting alinost like the fresh fruit. Another favor- ite recipe for dessert: Soak dried peaches until large and soft, drain, and spread upon squares of goonge cake, top with a spoonful of whipped cream.—Mrs. R. L. — A UNIQUE SHOWER. A gingham shower was given re- cently for a little bride-to-be. She was a business girl and, therefore, had little time to devote to needle- work. Her stay-at-home friends plan- ned and showered her with dainty gingham garments galore: Gingham bungalow aprons, tea aprons, sweep- ing caps, curtains for her bungalow windows (kitchen, bath, etc.). Of course, her preference for this ma- terial was known, hence the "shower." S. nee_ Map of The Pas Mineral Area.

Practical- ly each one arrived in Canada with little or no capital other than that re- quired by the immigration regulations, or actually necessary to get them to the scene of their present homes.

However, the promised fields were ,prickly with 'cactus and not flowing with milk and, honey as had been re- presented. The wonderful fortunes Were not forthcoming as the farmers ' lied been led to believe. The result was that Canada was once more to have an influx of Hungarians, but this time not from Europe. They were just as "broke" as when -they otigin- ally arrived in the West, in -d0 si worldly possessions, but infinitely wiser in the experience which taught those, who had remained in Canada as , as those who had gone south, that Milk the Dominion, and her Prairies, after , all, offered the ,best chances to the • hardy indhstrious farmer who was willing to work.
