Aok- lin secretly builds a dam nut cuts oft the water from Bodine's ranch, To re- venge himself upon-Ackltn, Bodine plots with the Masques to blow up the clam. Blase Kildare. ane of Acklin's rnen, is in love with a beautiful 13aseue girl, Mercedes Arrnr,eads.. NOW GO ON MTH THE STORY This last statement carried weight with Basilio, By the time Blaze had turned My Man into the ratio gate, the child had recovered his smile. Mercedes had been aware of Kil- dare's advent for five minutes or mare before Blaze dismounted. A warm glow of happiness enveloped her as she saw him approach, Grief and the brooding misery of weeks left her im- mediately. Yet she held back and trembled at the thought of meeting him. Nervous fingers perfornied. mir- acles with her beautiful hair. Maid- enly modesty 'aide her lower her eyes, but a flash of the carefree tomboy came back to her as she darted a quick glance into her mirror, There was color in her cheeks for the first time in many days; a sparkle in her eyes. Blaze, with Basilio in his arms, reached the verandah as she carate out. Language is useless to convey what they read in each other's eyes, Hat in stand, he stood before her ^,lent, A word would have broken the spell the morning cast over them. Basi)io's demand to be let down brought back to Blaze a realization of why he was there. He began to say something, but as Mercedes put out her hand and his fingers closed over it he became speechless again, "Oh, Senor, you do not know what you do when you come here like this." Blaze nodc:ed his head ever so slightly. The risk was worth it. "Men like Ortega or Ugarde will kill you on sight." A sudden impulse made Blaze lean toward her. "I wonder if you'd care very mash if they did get ma?" He bad won fron her the confidence R. woman nettaliy gives only to one man; but true to her sex, the thought of being forced into the open filled her with alarm. And because in such matters women are so much more the masters of themselves than men, she answered Blaze with a tantalizing laugh that carried hint back to that day up the river, when she had awak- ened emotions long dead in hint, To atone for the confusion she caused him, she added: "Of course I would care. You have been kind to me. I told you once I would speak true words to you. But why do yo conte?" "I've been into town—Winnemucea; some things I had to look atter for myself. I kept clear of the valley, but when I looked down from those hills below the hiver and saw how SCHOLES HOTEL 40c SUPPER A SPECIALTY YONGE ST., Opposite Eaton's Hotel Rates: $1 Per Day and Up. r-- near I was to the hacienda, I had. to risk coming. I wanted to talk with Esteban. Basilic tells me he has gone to Kings River." "As far as that?". .A. note of anxi- ety crept into her voice, "He left without telling mewhere he was going," ' "Ile wouldn't take 1ne," the little fellow chirped up. "Ile said it was too dangerous," "Dangerous?" Both Mercedes and Blaze asked the question, Basilio repeated his words. The sante thought flashed into the minds of both. If any danger was attached to Este - ants trip, it could only be because he was taking a short cut across the Double A country by way of the buttes. "He ought to know better than to try that,' Blaze said with a shade .f annoyance at the boy's foolhardiness. "Did he have a good horse?" "He took the buckboard and a team." "Why, you can't get through there with a rig. I've been over every foot of that country" He pointed to the child, and tapped his lips with his fingers as be trent on. "Ice's going around by the crossing, all right. There's three or four hundred Indians fro mthe reservation over on the Kings right now, helping with the haying. I guess Esteban was afraid of them." Mercedes tried to reward him with a smile, but her misgivings were only aroused the mors by what Blaze had said. Basilio did not take kindly to his words either. "Injuns!" he cried sarcastically. "I'nt not afraid of Injuns. Teresa is an Injun. thigh I had a horse of my own." Having relieved himself of this weighty statement, the little chap wandered bask ileo barn. When he was out of hearing, Mercedes appeal- ed to Kildare. "What can I do?" she asked. `"That is not Esteban's habit to go away these days without telling lee where he is going. He is not himself any longer. The fire, and all these other things—" "1 understand," Blaze responded.. "Will you take my word for this? The Double A has had no hand in these reprisals. Mercedes eyebrows lifted at this seeming heresy. "I saw Liotard's sheep killed." "You saw it, ay.d did nothing?" "There was nothing I could do," Blaze answered her. "I was in the buttes opposite his cabin, but it takes hours to come down and get up to his place, As far as the fire goes, I know there wasn't a Double A man in the valley that lime of night" Mercedes was silent in the fact of his amazing statement. "What you say is hard to believe," she murmured at last. "But I do be- lieve you." She trustingly raised her eyes to his. "I am not to be blamed if I seem bard to convince. Senor Ack- lin has crushed the heart of my pea 10 You can get results—after a fashion—with any old dye; but to do work you. are proud of takes real anilines That's why we put them in Diamond Dyes.

Even noweerie me may con at any moment. I know it is best you go." Blaze saw her lips tremble. The urge to take her in his arms was great, "You'll go sound by the river, won't you—please?' she implored further, "Don't go through the valley," Kildare turned and held . ou'' his hand to My Man; otherwise he would have been unable to stop the words that were on his tongue. He vaulted into his saddle lightly; Mercedes' eyes followed him. "You know," he began, more et ease from the safety of his position, "I once said that Y was going• to see this thing through, Did you ever see that before?" He heli, out the charm Melody had found, No trace of recognition showed in Mercedes' eyes. "The man who owned teat," Blaze went on, "murdered your father." "You mean," she gasped, "that you know who did it?" "I'ni not giving hint a name yet, but I will before I'm through." Mercedes bowed her head, her hand against her cheek. Blaze pnew the memories that were flooding her mind. His voice grew husky as he went on: "I told you the morning we found your father's body that I would stop at nothing in your service, I haven't forgotten. You wonder, I know, why I stay with Acklin. He's as hard and unrelenting as a steel trap; a throw- back from thirty-five years ago when the big cattlemen were all like bile.

You know nothing of my past, and my talk tells you little; but I'll be keeping my word with you. Goodbye!" They shook hands. Blaze saw her eyes were Misty. My Man had reach- ed the gate when he turned for a last Iook at her. She was leaning against a pillar of the veranda. He saw her lips tremble. Sweet and low, her words reached hint, "Goodbye, .... Blaze!" Minutes passed as she stood there. Kildare was long out of sight before she sank into a chair, her eyes strain- ing at the distances that lay beyond the Rebel, her ears dulled to ordinary sound. She knew Kildare must be safe in the lower Santa Rosa hills by now. Thoughts of her father hoveredin her, mind. She wondered why she found Blaze so much like bite, Suddenly there burst upon her con- sciousness the mad gallop of a horse. Estean was coning back! She felt relieved, She became alert, her semen on edge again. The pattering hoofs sounded very near; they ,eenied to be on the porch itself. Rising, she hur- ried round the corner of the verandah and came upon Basilio beating out a barbarie rhythm on an abandoned flower -tub. In lieu of drumsticks, he had possessed himself of part of the lid of a box; and despite sharp nails, the little tot held the sticks in a vise- like grasp.' "Where you get these things?" Mercedes demanded as she stooped down to take them away. "In the barn. Don't' take them av'ay," Basilic pleaded. "But, nine, they are covered with nails, Feel."

The committee made their report to the Ontario Horticultural Association at their annual cenveution'this year. )Vor narrow streets forty feet is re- commended as -the minimum planting distance, and fifty to sixty feet on boulevards ^ and • wider .streets; on public highways Seventy -live feet was given as the proper distance for planting. Such trees as White Ash, Hard 'Maple, Pin Oak, Tulip Trees, and Oriental Plane, were recommend- ed for :southern, localities in the pro- vince. For northern areas the Soft Maple and the Laurel Leaved Willow were recommended, Forprovincial, highways and other Country roads,, the tvarieties that are indigenous to the locality should be chosen, includ- ing Elms, Red Oak, Sugar Maple, White. Ash, and. Black Walnut, On rolling landscapes where trees are grouped for ornamental purposes, Birches, the Mountain As'h, and Na- tive Evergreens may be used to sup- plement other native trees, The committee urged strongly against the planting of the Manitoba Maple, Pop- lai'e, Including Cottonwoods and Soft' Maples except in northern parts of the provinces where they make rather slow growth and smaller trees than in milder localities. Willows are also regarded as unfit for plant- ing except in wet tow ground where better trees will not thrive. In con- cluding their report the committee urged the members of horticultural societies to do their utmost to save the shade -trees and so help to Pre- serve the scenic beauty of the vil- lages, towns, and the countryside.
