CHAPTER XXVI.---(Cont'd.)
Catching up her skirts, .he fled to
the barn. Scattered about to the floor
were the remains of half a dozen
empty boxes, The had been broken
open hurriedly and left without any
attempt at concealment. Mercedes
eyes widened in horror at the scream-
ing letters printed on their sides and
ends. Esteban's going now explained
itself. This was why he had not taken

She followed the tracks of the
wheels until they twined into the dim
road that led to the northwest. That
way did not lead to town, or to the
crossing into the Kings. It went to
Webster Creek.
Webster Creek ... Boaine!
Ten torturing minrtes of worry in-
creased her nervousness until her
body rebelled at inaction. Whatever
his motive, she was certain that Este-
ban had gone to Bodine's ranch. With
sudden resolve, she determined to fol-
low him. A word to Teresa about
Basilio and she was gone.
It took he more than two hours
to reach the Webster place. No ons
met her as she rode up. She called
aloud several times but bot no an-
swer. This, and the fact that she
had trailed the buckboard right to
the ranch yard, only increased her
feeling of alarm.

She sat dowt to wait. Again in-
action assailed her and she began
walking up and down the path that
led to the barns, Bit by bit she in-
creased the distance she was `covering
in her excitement, until her horse
brought her to the doors of the old
building. Her breath left her as she
caught sight of the wagon Esteban
had driven. A glance showed her it
was empty.
Through an open door in the rear
she' saw her brother's team in the
corral,
Mercedes scanned the „ound be-
tween the bean and the corrals, try-
ing to read signs in the dry rand,
She came upon the fresh trail of
three horses that led to the north.

tated over riding direct to the pass

of the three horsemen took her there.

tl.e time she trust lose by following
their trail, Mercedes could not hope
to reach the buttes before six,
She did bettor than that, however.
The fresh imprint of shod hoofs held
clear, and ever to the north. Six
o'clock found her several miles be-
yond the canon gate. The pace of
those she followed bad been rapid.
Even on the bad footing where the
country began to open again, she saw
there had been no slackening.
As she rode Mercedes kept continu-
ally asking herself where this trail
led. Not bit by bit but with chilling
suddenness the truth burst upon- her.
This continuous ao-nting the east
had told her at last.
"The data!" she cried. "Por Dios!
They are going to blow up the dam 1"
She pictured the water rushing into
the valley; the stock swept away;
houses made into kindling wood, peo-
ple killed. A mad, wild scream came
from her; "Basilio!"

A quarter of an lour after Mer-
cedes caught her first glimpse of the
lake, she stood at the water's edge.
Her eyes swept the shore -line in every
direction, but she caught sight of no
moving thing. Far away to the south
the top of the wall -that held back the
water showed a low grey streak
against the horizon.
No trace of the men she pursued
had been left on the rocky land where
she stood. She rode an ever -enlarging
serif -circle in the hope of picking up
her trail. Half an hour's patient work
rewarded her with clear-cut hoof -
paints in the sand to the north. The
horses that made them were going in
that direction, too.
Her tedious. progress took from her
the last bit of strength she possessed.
But had she been able to double her
pace, she would have hardly caught up
with her brother.
Neither he nor Bodine had stopped
once in their wild ride from Webster
Creek to peer back for possible pur-
suit. Romero had attended to that
on his own initiative, But they had

"That's so, Bodine. Is there water

Esteban beat him to the nearest'

Buck said carelessly.

Bodine began to believe him,

• Health
The marvel of Ontario's power de-
velopment•and the application of elec-
tricity to illumination and transpor-
,tation systems ' of ' the city, to the
machinery of industry, to lighting and
cooking in the home, has a parallel
even more mar; ellous in the develop-
ment of the services now available to
the people of Ontario through the De-
partment of health.
COMMUNITY HEALTH.
Any community, large or small, is
free to ask for help under any item
of municipal health administration,

eases, the establishment, maintenance

age disposal, garbage collection, milk
supply, public health nursing, child

gether with- rout;ne or emergency

HEALTH IN iND'USTRY.
Industry has its own health prob-
lems and special service is proffered
by the Department to furt-,er the
health of the wo-'ker in industry. Any
industrial ,nr. ,agement may request
help to meet the health needs ofits
plant, because the Department realizes
that health plays jut: as important
a part in plant operation as the horse-
power which makes the wheeh go

• HEALTH IN THE HOME.
In the home the real fight for health
is staged, and into the home the De-
p ,fitment .sends knowledge of, every
new discovery after i:t has been care-
fully tried and tested. The home is
using this knowledgeinevery-day life
just as it pushes the electric button
to light the floor lamp or heat the
electric iron. Itisbecause the mothers.
of Ontario have used this health
knowledge that Ontario's infants are
not dying from diseases dee to incor-
rect feeding in such large,numbers as
formerly; it °s due to the splendid co-
operation of Ontario parents that 40,-
000 children were protected against
diphtheria last year, and it will be
through the efforts made in Jur homes
that preventable disease -diabetes,
tuberculosis and cancer as well as the
acute infectious diseases -will be re-
duced in this Province. Persona]

The whole world knows Aspirin as an effective antidote for
pain. But it's just as important to know that there is only one
genuine Aspirin. ,The name Bayer is on every tablet, and on the
box. If the name Bayer appears, it's genuine; and if it doesn't,
it is not! Headaches are dispelled by Aspirin. So are colds, and
the pain that goes with them ; even neuralgia, neuritis, and rheuma-

proven directions.
