NOW GO ON WITII THE STORY CIIALPTER XXIX,=(Cont'd.) His head fell forward. The little circle of men grew quiet. Blaze put his ear to the boy's heart. "Ie's not dead," he breathed hope- fully, "Somebody get my horse, I'm going to get him to a docto.' God knows; he may have a chance." •Acklin said nothing as hie men helped°Kildare. "Where've you got Bodine?" he de- manded when Blaze had lett. "Got him?" Cash questioned, "1 air 't got him pt,,rhere," "What?" "No. I .ritt't seen Bodine. I was just rennin' a windy on the .cid. I. picked up the fresh trail of three horses this everting. They had come in from Webster Creek. I've been chasin' back and forth t:ryin' to pick 'em up in the Balk, or I'a 'a' been here sooner." "What made you think Bodine was among them?" "Shucks! You don't think there's anyone else down there with the nerve of brains to do this thing. It took sun old hand to make a nine that would rip out that wall. I knew Bo- dine was behind the whole thing." "Who do you think was the third man?" Cash -hook his head. ' "1 ain't even got a guess." Acklin contorted his mouth nerv- busly., "No matter," he said after an in- terval. nterval. "We'll make Bodine tell be- fore we get through, "We'll all ride to the ranch first. I'm going to turn out every loan we've got, Cash. We'll throw a circle over this country that Ito one'll crawl through. If we pick sip Bodine, he'll be among the dear 'departed by morning." Morrow's eyes bulged. "You mean you're goin' to stretch hin?" he gasped. "That's exactly what I mean," Acklin growled. CHAPTER XXX. AMONU THE RUINS.

Taking Shorty's lantern, the big fellow followed the trail Esteban and Romero and he had taken that after- noon. A few minutes' search con- vinced him" that his supposition. was correct; Mereec:es had £ollnwed them into the hills! Her only object could have been to :.top them.,Well, she had• been too'late, or had issed her brother altogether, It was the ,Por:. of a minute for him to pen a note to her. To prove his goiut with the girl, he made the child scrawl an attempt at his name across the bottom of the note. This accomplished, he sent Shorty to de- liver it, Gloomy and tha others lounged about the room. Besilio, in the next room, began crying. "Somebody shut that kid up," Buck bellowed. Speculation as to Acklin's discom- fiture had worn itself out. Gloomy yawned, One of the others got up. "Guess I'll turn in. The show's over." Buck had done his share of the talking in the time that had elapsed since Shorty left, but his nimble brain had been busy with matters alien to the conversation. His amen were sur- prised, therefore, when he said: "Boys, I don't think you'd better roost here tonight." "We might scare the lady, eh?" Gloomy questioned, "Don't you worry 'bout the lady," Buck said easily. "She don't enter into it at all." As a matter of truth, Mercedes' coming was in part respon- sible for Bodine's desire to get his men away. "We'll have visitors befcre morn- ing," he went on; "and they won't be ladies. Even if those two boys keep their mouths shut, Acklin may get the hunch that we were mixed up in' this thing. I'll bet his men are scourin' the hills right now.

Next he filled the coffee-pot. When he had set it on the fire, he propped up his chair a:.t' fell to dreaming. Shorty had not yet reached the Rancho. Buck had sent him with a team and a light wagon, with instruc- tions to take the short cut east of the cemetery in Paradise. But he had been turned back and had follow- ed the main foal to Winnemucca al- most to the Little Washoe before he dared to strike eastward to the ha- cienda. Mercedes and Melody haf met with similar conitions After several un- successful attempts to get across the valley, the poet had found it necessary to retrace their way and get into the hills, where they had found the old wood road that came down through Smoky Canon. The girl was exhausted. Melody wondered how she clung to her horse. He tried to cheer her up, but it was a hoe eless task. For at least the twen- tieth time, he told the girl that some one must have taken Basilio to safe- ty. He had no knowledge that war- rarted his certainty. His words sound- ed empty even to himself the last time he uttered them. So, in silence, they covered the last half -mile.

Beth wings of the house were gond. Not a sign remained of hams er corrals. Melody knew Mercedes had coine up benkle- him, bat he could not take his eyes away from the ruins, The cowboy nerved himself to face the girl beside him, She was staring fixedly at all that was left of the once beautiful hacienda, It had been the only home Mercedes had over know n. Every childhood memory Centred within iteevells. Undo: ether circrrm- stances its destruetion would have crushed her; but she had been through too much this night already. Ber nerves and emotions had lost the power to tenet to further torture. She was dazed by what she beheld. She wanted to dash into the ruins and search` with feverish' haste for e t tar Basilic, but a trot. ,._ke lethargy gy 1 en- veloped her. It frightened Melody more thee tears. His voice quavered uncertainly as he spoke to her. "I'11 take a look inside, if you'll wait out here," "No, I'll go with you," "You better not do that," the cow- boy begged. 'Things'll be torn up pretty bad in there." "But B-3-Batilio." She hesitated over the word. "I tell Jots, we won't find him, Sen- orita. He air't here." • It was his old emission, Mercedes had moved ahead of hint. If alae were determined to search the ruins, it would be useless for him to try to bold her back, It •rculd be better to stay at her side and 'suds her ep if she slid find anything, ' It took him some time to clear a passage into that part of the house which had escaped total desctruction. that the effort was incoherent.

It was the work of a minue for hint to pen a note to Mercedes, He sent Shorty to leaver it. A foot,of mud and debris covered the floors. Furniture was pile on end. Great holes gaped in the walls where the plaster had given way. Melody found a lamp upstairs. He called time after time for the child before he came down. Mercedes had cried out, too, but they got no an- swer. With the aid of the light, they went over the wreckage carefully, but not a trace of the child or of the two old servants was to be had. Faith in his own prophecy began to grow in the red-haired one. "I knew sernebody had 'got them out," he stated. "Maybe they'got lost when they try to run," Mercedes murmured mourn- fully. "Not The flood came too quick for that. If they hadn't been warned they'd be right t ere. We'll find them at some of the neighbors to the west. If you say so, e,e'll go now." "I best stay here, Senor. Pm tired so tired. You will go quicker by yourself." "But I can't leave you here all alone in this lace. You'd be scared to death. It looks haunted." She smiled at him tenderly. "There is nothing here to frighten me, my friend. Mercedes knows every rock and stone in this house. If spir- its cone here, they must be the spirits of those who Ioved me; my mother- or my father . . , My good father!" "He was that, all right," Melody snapped out. "He was a hundred per cent." The cow -boy gazed at the door. "I'll be blubberin like a kid if I don't get out of here in a hurry," he murmured to himself. Aloud he said: "I'll wait here till you get upstairs.. It'll be light in three hours, ' Now don't you get nervous. I won't come back without him." A few minutes later she heard him riding away. CHAPTER XXXI, THE NOTE ON THE DOOR. Melody had instilled in Mercedes some degree of confidence in his abil- ity to find Basilic. It sustained her, Clow that she was alone; that, and her faith in Kildare. She could count on him.

Soldier Answering Churchill London—Lord Byng has at last re- vealed the true sto,y of the strike. and mutiny of British troops at Calais in January, 1019. Winston Churchill are a narrative in his record book which contained bitter animus, against British Labor, He puts the blame for mutiny on the. Labor Corps, which he describes as: "the least disciplined part of the army, which had seen the least of the fighting, and was most closely associ- ated with political Trade Unioniem," Mr. Churchill goes on to speak of. Byng bringing two fighting divisions against the mutineers, and "the sol- diers of these divisions were roused to indignation at the news that demobili- zation was being obstructed by com- radesof theirs who had in on wiee borue the brunt of the fighting;"' Bubble Pricked This .account souodt plausible and it fits in with class prejudice against political trade unionism _ and the ro- mantic glorification of fighting troops. But Lord Byng pricks the bubbleof Churchillian rhetoric. Byng. : says: there . were two distinct elements of trouble, The first was the strike based on grievances; the second was a mutiny against discipline. The strike was by the Labor Corps.. The mutiny was by fighting troops who had returned from leave, Lord Byng met . andtalked with the leaders of the strikers and he was convinced they had legitimate griev- antes, Byng says: "These men were rea- sonable. They were all of the.artizan type, sound knoe-ledgeabie fellows able to face facts." Byng had no diiTieulty in fixing an agreement and getting the men back to their duties. The mutiny among returned leave men collapsed when Edward C. Vick in the April issue of "People's Home Journal" states that the "annuals that may be started from seed planted early in the spring are: Sweet alyssum, argenmone, cal- liopsis, cosmos, nigelle, portulaca and zinnia." In regard to the dahlias not flower- ing, he writes: "It is not a good plan to strip dahlia plantsof their foliage half way up the stalk. The fact that the tubers are large when dug and growth vigor- ous indicates too much fertilizer. Use no fertilizer whatever where the gar- den soil is good. In this particular case there is evidence that the soil may be sour. Use a little hydrated lime over the surface and rake it in lightly before planting. Grow the plants where they will have full sun- light, not in the shade. Have not mole than two stalks to a hill. Let all the buds flower; pick tho flowers and the more they are picked the more there will be to pick."

Graveley Misled If troops under Byng were really roused to indignation, as Churchill says, against non -fighting units, they had been. gravely misled and misin- formed, and if the situation had been handled by a general more impulsive than , Byng then .there 'would no doubt have been a 'collision, Churchill regards political trade unionists as prone to faction and agi- tation.

This kind of pain is just as readily relieved as the occasional headache, or twinge of neuralgia, or other aches and pains for which the whole world takes Aspirin.

Lendolt,—Wh: n the voters of Great Britain goto the polls this apring to choose their members ip the House of Commons, and thereby decide which peaty shall form the Government; a' . quiet and bloodless revolution will have been aecompifsl,ed—one of the greatest and most striking in all the historfss of democracies. For with the eeeeptiou of some 52 constituencies out of a total of 591, from southern England up through .dr WScotland, ales and .the women votIV - ers will outnumber the Hien. If they turn out to their full strength Britain will be a woman -ruled country so far as voting goes. In England, where the fight was long and bitter, only a .halfway mea- sure was at first adopted, ' Wooten had to be at least 30 before they got the vote, They had to have 'certain residential and property qualifications, "FLAPPER VOTE." Even so, the voting list was enor- mously increase, buil only in,foar con stituencies did the women possess a majority. But last year, yielding to enormous political pressure, Parlia- ment passed a law giving the Iran - chile to all women over 21. Tho die - herds bitterly opposed it. Lord.Roth- ermere and his powerful string of pa- pers fought whet they Walled the "flapper vote" and warmed the Tory party that they were digging their own graves. After the bill became law, the vot- ing lists were prepared and revealed an astonishing thing: whereas before the women prevailed only in four out of 591 constituencies, they were now in a mtajprity in 539 of them. Oddly enough, where the men still predom- inated it was mainly in the industrial regions of northern England and in the mining districts of Wales and Scotland. Enermoue difference:, have been ,made in some of the constituen- cies—the addition of the younger wo- men has increased the female vote by 100 er cent. or even more. A few dis- tricts which last year had a majority of men over women to the tune of over 12,000, are now the exact reverse. One of the results of this strange condition of 'affairs is that -women will toke a far more,. active •:part in the next election than ever has been the case. Each of the three great politi- cal parties—Tory, Liberal and Labor —will have special women's "couunit- tees and organizations in every Par- liamentary constituency. Each will have a whole corps of speakers who will aim specially to appeal to the women voters. Mrs,' Baldwin, wife of the present Prime Minister; Miss Ishbel MasDon- ald, dat.ghter of the fist Labor Pre- mier; Mrs, Lloyd -George and Mies Megan Lloyd -George, respectively wife and daughter of the famous Liberal Prime Minister, will all be on the stump. Lady Astor, born Nancy Lang- ' horne of Virginia, and the first woman ever to sit in Parliament, will be a candidate for re-election. Lady Cyn- thia Mosley, granddaughter of Levi Leiter, of Chicago, will be on the. stump for her husband. There are nine woolen members in thep resent House of Commons, It is confidently expected that the list will be greatly increased next time. Up to date, the Conservatives have nomin- ated five women, the Liberals fourteen, the Independents two, and the Labor party twenty-nine. It is probable that before the campaign elosen at least 75 women will be running for Parlia- ment, WELL ORGANIZED. - In some of she close reside ttial dis- tricts of cities like Lor•don, Edinburgh and Glasgow, the Tories expect the added woman vote to help thein. How- ever, it is believed by many that ie the . industrial districts in the north of England and in the mining districts of England, Wales- an Scotland the new vote will ,id the Labor arty. • Good looking women party leaders, wilo screen well and register well on the talkies, will be pressed into ser- vice. • Radio will be used. The aim of every campaign committee will be to hold their own men voters steady and bag the bulk ef the new woman vote. The party that gets it will be in the majority in the next Parliament. Wisdom and Love Wisdom, ere she tills a field, Weighs the toil against the yield; Love will run on bleeding feet Planting roses in the wheat. Wisdom stops to look and hark, Ventures slowly in the dark; Love sees rainbows shining bright In the darkest fold of night. Wisdom, walks unmeasured lands Seekintreasures in the sands; Love will linger on the 'shore' For a sail that lifts no more. Wisdom watches while she rests, Will not trust until she tests; Love has passed her golden days When she pauses to appraise., T —W, D. Gough.
