She followed till her strength began to frill. Alul when in spite of her determination she lagged behind, he stopped at the first water. "We'll camp here," he sold. "You're about all In, and we can't get anywhere tonight, I see plainly." Hazel accepted this dictum as best she could. She sat down on a mossy rock while he stripped the horses `of their gear and staked thein out. Then Bill started a fire and fixed the roll of bedding by it for her to sit on. Dusk crept over the forest while he cooked the supper; making a baunock in the frying pan to talcevthe place of bread; and when they had finished eat- ing and washed the few dishes, night shut down black as the pit. They talked little. Hazel was.in the grip of utter forlornness, moody, wish- ful to cry. Roaring Bill humped on his side of the tire, staring thoughtfully into the blaze. Atter a long period of abstraction he glnneed at his watch, than arose and silently arranged her bed. After that he spread his saddle blankets and lay dcwn. Hazel crept into the covers and qui- etly sobbed herself to sleep. The huge and land appalled her. , AS on the previous night, she wale. ened often and glanced over to the fire. Roaring Bill kept his accustomed posi- tion, flat in the glow.' She had no fear of him now. Night passed, and dawn ushered in a clearing sky. Ragged wisps of clouds chased each other across the blue when they set out again. Hazel walked the stiffness out of her muscles before she mounted. When she did get on Silk, Roaring 8111 increased his pace. Ile was long-legged and light of 'foot, apparently tireless. She asked no ques- tions. What was the use? He would eventually come out ,somewhere. She was resigned to wait. After a time elle began to puzzle, and the old unenainess came back. The last trailing banner of cloud vanished, and the sun rode clear in an opal sky, smiling benignly down on the forested land. She was thus enabled to locate the cardinal!mints of the compass. Wherefore she took to gauging their course by the shadows. And the result was what set her to thinking. Over level and ridge and swampy hollow, Roaring ,13111 drove atralgbt north in an undeviating line. She recollected that the point from which she had lost her way had lain northeast of Cariboo Meadows.

"Why, Pin tnkingeyou home—or try - In.; to," he answered mildly. "But you're going north," she de- clared. "You've been golug north all morning, ' I was north 'of Cariboo Meadows when I got lost. How can we get back to Cariboo Meadows by going still farther north?" "You're more of a woodsman than I imagined," Bill remarked gently. He smiled up at her, and drew out his pipe and tobacco pouch. She looked at him for a minute. "Do you know where we are now?" she asked quietly. Fie met her keen gaze calmly. "I do," he made laconic answer. "Which way is Cariboo Meadows, then, and how far is it?" she demand- ed. "General direction, south," he re- plied slowly. "Fifty miles more or less. Rather more than less." "And you've been ' Ieading mo straight north!" she cried. "Oh, what nm 7 going to do?" "Keep right on going," Wagstaff an severed. "I won't -I won't!" she flashed. I'II find my own way back. What devilish impulse prompted you to do such a thing?" "You'll have a beautiful time of it," he said dryly, completely ignoring her last question. "Take you three days to walk there—if you knew every foot of the way. And you don't know the way. Traveling in timber is confus- ing, as you've discovered. You'll never see Cariboo. Meadows, or any other place, if you tackle It single-handed, without grub or matches or bedding. This is a whopping big country. A good many men have got lost In st— and other men have found their bones." HeJetthis sink In while she sat there on his horse ch?king back a wild desire to curse hlm by bell, bock and candle for what 11e had done, and hold- ing in check the fear of what he might yet do. She could not escape the con- clusion that Roaring•Bill Wagstaff was something of n law veto himself, ca- pable of hewing to the line of his own desires at any cost. She realized her utter helplessness, and the realization left her without words. He had drawn a vivid picture, and the instinct of self- preservation asserted Itself. "You misled me." She found her voice at last. " 'hy?' "Dud I mislead you?" be parried. "Weren't you already lost when you came to my camp? And have I mis- treated you In any manner? Have I refused you food, shelter or help?" "My home is In Cariboo Meadows," she persisted. "I asked you to take me there. You led me away from there deliberately; I belleve now." "My trail doesn't happen to lead to Cariboo Meadows, that's all," Roaring. Bill coolly told ben. "If you must go back there, I shan't restrain you in any way whatever. But I'm for home myself. And that,"—he came close and smiled frankly up at her—"Is n better place than Cariboo ]lieadows. I've got n little house back in the woods. There's grub there, and heat in the forest, and fish In the streams. It's home for me. Why should I go back to Cariboo Meadows? Or you?" "Why should I go with you?" she demanded scornfully. "Because I want you to," he mur- mured. They matched glances for a second, Wagstaff smiling,'she half horrified. "Are you clean mad?' she asked an- grily. "I was beginning to think you a gentleman." 8111 threw back has head and laughed. Then on the instant be so- bered. "Not a gentleman," he said. "I'm a plata man. And lonesome some- times for a mate, as nature has or- dained to be the way of flesh." "Get a squaw, then," she sneered. "I've heard that such people as you do that." - "Not fne," he returned, unruffled. "1 want a woman of my own kind." "Heaven save me from that elesatfi- catiou 1" she observed, with emphasis on the pronoun. "Yes?" he drawled. "Well, there's no profit In arguing the point. Let's be getting on." He reached for the lead rope of the nearest pack horse. Hazel urged Silk up a step. "Mr. Wagstaff," she cried, "I must go back." "You can't go back without me," he said. "And I'm not traveling that way, thank you." Please—oh, please 1" she begged for. lornly. Retiring Bill's face hardened. "I wi11 not," he said flatly. "I'm going to play the game my way. And I'll play fair.. That's the 'only promise I will make," She took a look et the encompassing woods, and her heart sank at facing those shndpwy stretches alone and nn - guided. The truth of his statement that she 'Would never reach Cariboo Meadows forced itself home. There was but the one way oat, and her wom- an's wit wonld have to save her, "Go en, then," she gritted, In a swift surge of anger. "I am afraid to face this country alone.

Light and Clean- liness to Avoid] Tuberculosis and Other Diseases—Cse Whitewash, Whether Sprayed or Brush. handled, and Brighten Interior. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture. Toronto.) THE observance of the laws of health, so vital to the well- being of man, Is regarded even In this enlightened age. with considerable indifference in the treatment of animals upon whose good health that of man him- self depends to a considerable de- gree. That animals are not more affected by disease, of some form or another, to a greater extent, is purely providential, for ,the sanitary condi- tions under which they are often reared Is of the worst. Why this apathy concerning the state of the stables, in which frequently valuable animals are housed, is difScult to un- derstand, since cattle, any more than man, cannot maintain their health and vigor for long In such unfa,vor- able conditions; yet the stockman who keeps cattle for profit (oust know that to gain maximum returns forhis Investments and trouble, and to guattl against loss from disease and death reasonable care and com- fort and sanitary conditions are necessary. The first considerations to this end are ventilation, Bight and, cleanliness. These essential elements of sanita- tion should be attended to at least once every year. This may be most conveniently done during the early fall before the cattle aro.housed for the winter. Effective ventilation is required to carry away the font air and maintain constant and adequate supply of fresh air. The window space should be ample so that every corner of the Interior may be flooded with light and sunshine, the source of health and destroyer of germs. Dirt and filth make productive breed - Ing places. for insects and bacteria. Cleanliness gets rid of conditions which produce them and prevents,the possibility of infection and contagion, reducing possible loss from disease to a minimum, That much -dreaded disease, tuberculosis, 133 in a measure the product of dark, dirty, ill -venti- lated stables: It is caused by organ- ism or germs gaining entrance into the animal's system wfth the food. It is not easy to detect, and usually when symptoms become evident it is too late to apply any remedy, hence the necessity of making every effort to secure and maintain sanitary con- ditions in the stable. Eveny fall, then, the stable should be systemati- cally cleaned; cobwebs swept from wall and ceilings; accylmulated dirt and debris cleared from manger, trough, window-sille and all recesses in walls; the fresh aur intakes and foul air' outlets put in order; fill all cracks and holes in floor and walls LIFT CORNS OR • CALLUSES OFF Doesn't hurt) Lift any corn or callus off with fingers °3 A • Don't Killer?. it tiny bottle of 'L'reezone costs but a i'ow cents ab any arug stere.
