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 Basilio H.: was not going to Icing's River. Uncle Peter had dynamite of his own for any need he might.Bnd, 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. -they call him "The roan you can' rattle' Many successful business men regularly use Wrigley's.

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. A quick glance a: the sun told her it was after three o'clock, he hesi- tated over riding direct to the pass that led to the north, unless the trail of the three horsemen took her there. There was always the chance that. they night circle back. Allowing for 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!" CHAP? Eli. XX-,VIl- aim BURNING RAFT. 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 Neither pretty pictures nor colorful adjectives will dye a dress or coat It takes real dyes to do the work; dyes made from true anilines. • Jext•time you have dyeing to do, try Diamond Dyes. basow easy it is to use them.

Department o • 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, viz„ control of communicable dis- eases, the establishment, maintenance or extension c- water supply aild sew- age disposal, garbage collection, milk supply, public health nursing, child health or dental service programs, to- gether with- rout;ne or emergency laboratory service. 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 sound. • 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.

Farm Recipes - . Are Good Dishes , Here are some recipes that have been used by farm -wives for many years, prepared on all manner' of stoves and conditions met with in dif- terent farm kitchens.
