NOW GO ON WITH STORY
CHAPTER YXVII.—(Cont'd.)
To the girl it was an eternity be-
fore the moon peered through the tops
of the tangled cedars, Trees and
brush began to take shape. Mercedes
went on. She found a tiny spring
trickling to her eight. She wet her
lips with its water and followed its
course. Scor_ she caught the beat of
waves. She had come out to the shore
of the cake. She cried out with new
courage. Her voice rolled over the
water to the cove where her brother
lay,
Esteban jumped at the sound of it.
He had already waited long past the

appointed Um. to send the raft adrift,
The echo of that cry in the awful
stillness decided hint to tarry no long-
er. He cupped his hands to his light
ed match, and the long fuze began to
sputter. The wind at his back was
strong and steady. A healthy push,
and the raft with its deadly load float-
ed away across the silvery water,
He did not wait to speculate cit the
success of its errand. He had had
hours of that. Before long he was
dashing for the buttes, intent only on
reaching the valley.
His going brouht no sound to the
.girl. The moon had given her her
bearings, and keeping ever within
sight of the lake, she stumbled to the
north, dragging her tired body to new
tortures. A glowing pin -point of fire
moving across the water caught her
attention, Its even, unhurried flight
fascinated her. It was beautiful, un-
real, ghostly. But as she watched it,
the raft moved out of the shadows of
the opposite shore into the full light
of the moon.
She knew ,vhat it was then, even
before the wind had sent it close
enough to make recognition possible..
The truth left her strangely unmoved.
She even found herself admiring the
cleverness of the men who were re-
sponsible for it. They had schemed
well to beat Acklin! The never -halting
approach of the raft, the black bulk of
the mine rising from its surface, the
glowing fuse held aloft as if it were
a light at a masthead, brought no cry
from her lips. This was the thing
she had conte to stop.
It came so close to her that she could
hear the sputtering of the fuse. An
eddy or a whim ttf the wind caught the
raft then and sent it away from the
shore. She could not swine a stroke.
Just what she intended to du she did
not know; but she knew she could not
reach it, riding ah ng as it was,
fifty yards from the bank. She found,
however, that she kept abreast of it

This was all very well for time,
but as sh: came to a cove that cut
back into the hills she began to de-
spair. By the time she had got around
it, the raft would be far ahead. But
without looking bask she started on
the attempt. She had not made more

cove on the shore of which she stood.

next minute the current was moving•
it back into the lake.
Without stopping to ask herself
what she would do, or how she would
get back to the land if she were once
on the raft, she jumped for it. The
force with which she landed was im-
petus enough to send it bobbing
through the water until the cove was
yards behind her.
She scrambled to her feetand with

She lurched toward the centre of
the logs, her arms lowered to help her-
self to a sitting position, when a
scream was wrung from her. The
glowing coal thatshe had stamped
into the cedar was gone, but in its
place rosea blaze a foot` high!
A little trickle of oil had seeped
back to where' she had crunched the
end of the fuse, The wind had fanned
an unseen spark of life.
The flanges were mounting higher
and higher, senting out greedy ton-
gues that licked at her body, In a rage
of helpless impotence, she raised her
torn hands and struck and beat the
iron thing before her. The cuts on
her knuckles and Angers bled afresh,
but she was fast losing the power to
feel pain. Salty tears ran into the
corners of her north, From herlips
came a wild, almost insane cry.
CHAPTER XXVIII.
Esteban was coming to the higher
ground where his trail turned to the
south when he heard a horse whinny.
He had to put his hat over his mount's
nose to keep him from answering. The
other horse called again; nater this
time. The boy did not wait. Ile
wheeled and galloped back over the
path he had just conte from. When
he bad retraced his way some two
miles, he turned to scan the lake far
below hint. His pulse jumped as he
caught sight of the flaming logs; now
so near the dam that from where he
watched it seemed they must strike
any minute. What had gone wrong?
What had set them afire? Had his
companions been caught by the Double
A men?
Esteban moved highed up to wait
for the explosion. In the confusion
resulting from it he intended to make
another dash for Webster Creek, No
mater where Romero and Bodine were
they must be counting the seconds
even as he.
And while he waited the Double A
men, from Disaster Peak to the Bull's
Head, kept their watch, unaware of
the danger that was sweeping down
upon them.- Kildare alone, of all Ack-
lin's riders, moved nervously about.
Blaze had not forgotten his talk that
morning with Mercedes. Esteban's
mysterious trip, coupled with Mor-
row's belief that trouble was brewing,
seemed to argue more than mere coin-
cidence.
He was within a quarter of a mile
of the water when he caught the first
dim reflection of the burning raft.
From where he stood the fire seemed
to be on the other side of the canon.
He could not see the lake itself, but
the faint red tinge in the sky moved.
By that he knew that something was
burning on the water. There wasn't
any timber of any sort east of the
dant. He sent My Man into a gallop.
In kaleidoscopic fashion he saw the
mine; the petrified girl shielding her
face from the flames; the dans twenty
yards away. He cupped his hands,
and called to her.
He did not stop to ask how she
cane there. Ile only say the leap-
ing flanges, and guessed the intent of
the black thing that bulked m the
surface of the raft.
Nothing could save the dam. It
was doomed! A minute or two, and
it would be al: over. Jumping to her
rescue would not help. If he ran
out on the dans both of them would
be killed or swept away and drowned,
He called to Mercedes; but she
barely moved her head. Blaze called'
again. That voice! It seemed to come
from leagues away; a phantom voice!
Kildare saw that she did not move.
He cried out again. The wind whip-
ped the sound of it behind lune, But,
the girl looked up. She saw him and
raised her hands. Blaze jerked his
reata from his saddle -horn and ran
to the very edge of the bank.
"Take off your skirt," he cried,
"and wet it and wrap it around you.

shot away from the raft; He could look
down and se.. the water cascading
over her as he dragged her through it.
He heard the raft bump the dam.
Some one was calling; C:set or Mel-

he began paying in his reata, lifting
her to safety, She was halfway to
the top of the lagged wall when Kil-
dare felt rather than heard a snap.
His hands tingled. He had been drag-
ging his rope over theledge, using the
rock for leverage. One of the strands
of the finely woven reata had given
way—cut in two by the jagged quartz.
His arms trembled, There was no-
thing to do but ris'c the chance that
the unraveling reata would hold. He
leaned out over the water mail Mer-
cedes was a dead weight on him, and
palled. Another strand broke, but he
raised her to the 'top. His hands
caught her arms; a last lift, and she
was beside him- '
Then it came, without warning—a
trembling of the earth. Thunder roll-
ed in his ears. The dans was gone.
They were down, knocked flat! My
Man went to his knees. Pieces of rock,
from the size of a pea to big, jagged
fragments of granite thatwouldhave
killed had they struck, rained about
them. Water splashed down in sheets,
Mercedes did not move. Kildare
relied her over and over. The girl's
body was cold; her purse seemed to
have stopped. Blaze slapped her, and
beat her with the flat of his hands.
He continually raised her arms to
expand her Fangs.

Publi;zliier's Who Have Tried it:

Culaha—Pnbllshers of . Corn Belt
newspapers have been giving cora
stalk' newsprint a "riclo" and incident' -
ally whooping it up for the uttlluation
of cornstalk waste as a Moana for in r-
dustrlalizing farm comm» liities and'
fattening the income of the farmer
Following the lead of a Danville, 111.,,
daily, numerous weeklies and small
dailies throughout the Middle West
have been printing special editions
on cornstalk, paper and devoting con-
siderable space to exploiting the pet;
]lobby of .Professor O. R. Sweeney,;
head of the chemical engineering (lee
partnient of Iowa State ,College at
Ames.
Some'` of the newspapers carefully'
Point out that the present cornstalk,
publication is offered merely as a
novelty and, that there are a goods
many : objections, to be removed :be-
fore, there can be any serious thought
of supplanting or even seriously com-
peting with wood -pulp . newsprint..
Others ,blithely ignore these objec-
tions and assume that the day of the•
new paper has arrived and all that
necessary is to build a lot of mills•
all over the Corn Belt and start turn-
ing out newsprint for the nation; the.
local community, of course, offering;
an ideal location for such a plant.
Price a Deterrent
The first and the greatest objection,
which most of the publishers noticed' •
right away was the price they had to,
pay, which was about., double what
their customary woodpulp paper has.
been costing them. Other objections'
are that it is heavier and that it does,
not take theink so well as other
papers, There is also observable a:
semi -transparency which causes heavy'
printing on the opposite side of a.
page to show through. ' One of the•
more conservative ofthe papers,
warns its readers that "no newi4paper-
will permanently adopt cornstalk
paper, no matter how devoted it Mt
to home industries, until a better pro-
duct can bo produced at a cost that
compares favorably with woodpulp,
paper."
The interestingfeature of the dem-
onstration is that it presents, visible,
evidence that cornstalk paper is a•
reality and not just something which•
agricultural college chemists have -
been using to make an impression,
upon rural audiences. Here is a'
highly useful article produced ,t,.
through the application of chemtcalie„,..
and machinery from what hitherto,.
has been practically waste material..
It can be used to write letters on and
to print books, magazines and news-
papers op. Considering that it is still'
in the pioneering stage the Corn Belt
seems to be sufficiently justified )a
getting up some excitement over it.
But Ontario corn farmers need not
get "steamed up” yet awhile.
Cabbage for Salads
Cabbage is especially valuable as
the fdundation for salads that will
keep awhile. As vinegar is apt to
deprive the vegetable of its crispness,
lemon juice or lime juice used in the
dressing helps greatly- in keeping
fresh for a longer time any salad in
which cabbage appears. To make a
very delicate salad, shave the tender,
inner leaves of the head, pour boiling
water over them and drain at once;
cover web ice-cold water -and chill
an hour or more. The cabbage may
tbenbe drained and left to marinate
at least an hour longer in salad dress-
ing.
Another method in to sprinkle salt
over the finely shredded cabbage and
leave it to stand from one to two

oil --and serve on lettuce. Red /cab-
bage is especially good this way, but
kept under a weight of from 1 to :2.
pounds about 24 hours, Heat the
weak vinegar, pour it hot over the
salad, add dashes of paprika and
leave for week in a cool place. A
o little red coloring may be added to
the vinegar, or half Tarragon vinegar

goes well with this, red French dress-
ing or cooked salad dressing being
especially good. The cabbage may
be used alone or in combination with
other vegetables or fruits that go well
with it; pineapple, onion, celery,
