CHAPTER XXXL—(Cont'd.)
Mercedes did not know how long
she had been asleep when she was
awakened by the sound of some one
creeping stealthily up the stairs. •
It was Shorty. He had called sev-
eral times and, getting no answer, had
begun searching the house, bent on
picking up whatever trifles he could
find and, et the same time, intending
to make certain that he had -lint left
himself open to Bodine's displeasure.
When Mercedes threw epee her door
and faced him, he was the .more fright-
ened of the two, But Shorty was
truly an evil look ing figure es she saw
hint standing in rte light that steer.:n-
ed. on him.

"I ala. What is your business?"
"I got a letter for you." He brought
It forth from a ',at -pocket. "I been
eallin' for ten ntinu,es. I didtt"t think
they was any one home." '
Mercedes read the note hastily. H.•r
heart beat faster as she recognized
Basilio's strange letters. He was alive
then!
"You are one of Beeline's men, huh?"
she asked.

"You have. seen my brother then?
He is not hurt?"
"No! He's all right, unless he's

"Oh, I with you had brought hitn
here," Mercedes gaspe:i.
"Well, lady., Buck was afraid they
-wouldn't be anythin' left of this place.
I bin hours gittin' here, I got a rig
to take you its. We'll hate tc go round
by the Winnemucca road to make it"
The girt weighed . what she was
doing, for all of her excitement, as
she followed Shorty downstairs to 'his
team. She had good reason to fear
.Bodine; but she had to go to Basilio.
At least, it would be dawn when she
arrived there.
In answer to a redden impulse she
snatched a pin from her dress, and
as she stepped anon the verandah she
fastened Bot.ine's note to the door
without attracting Shorty's attention.
Melody would be sero to find it there.
With a distinct sense of fear she
tock her seat reside Bodine's man.
Bsing alone with him its the hacienda,
with its old associations and familinr
rljects to give her courage, had been
c ribie cnough; being in the- open
with him in the dead of night was in-
Peitely more terrifying. e
As they went' m a.ed the wagon con-
tir ued to rock back and forth, the girl
became drowsy. Her struggle to keep
to her end of the seat began to cease.
The man beside her was ao longer the
evil -looking thine he had been. Mer-
cedes felt her head resting on his
shcelder. It wassoft and wonderfully
Comfortable. She sighed contentedly.
By the time they came to the main
road she slept. Shorty's arm was
around her to keep her from falling,
the expression on his face as emotion-
less as ever. In this fashion they
traveled to Webeter Creek.
They had not yet arrived there
when the note Mereeees had pinned
to the deer of the hacienda caught

Thus in `spirit quite aceopting the ae-

The note on the dom. had caught his
attention immediately, It told him
very little. if B -erne was at Bodine's
place, where. wore Mercedes and Este-
ban?
He was searching the rooms above
when he heard some one ride up,
"Hello, there!" he called. "Who
are you?"
"That you, Tuscarora?" the new-
comer questioned n nxiously.
Kent recognized Kildare's voice. He
ran downstairs to meet him.
"Where's Mercedes and Melody?"
Blaze demanded,
"Ain't no one here but me: They
must 'a' got away in time."
"No, no! Melody brought her here
after the dant went out,"
Kent's eyes widened, and 'Kildare

of taking Esteban to Paradise, where
the doctor held out hope for the boy.

though."
"Guess he did!" Tuscarora answer-
ed. "Or what do you make of this?"
He produced the rot . "I found it
pinned on the door."
"My God!" Blaze groaned. "She's
gone to Bodine's as sure as fate.. He's
decoyed her :here with this. But what
happened to r-elody? He'wasn'there
when she recei :ed this note, or else
she wouldn't have stunk it up like that.
It was meant for him all right! Damn
it! If he hadn't had to go back to
the ranch to get here, I'd a been in
time."
His jaws closed with a click. He
wheeled on- Kent with an angry glitter
in his eyes. Tuscarona.'s anxiety for
the girl matched Kildare's.
"Let's not waste any more time,"
Blaze cried, as he flung himself into
his saddle. "Listen, Kent," he went
on. "How Iong will it take you to get
the sheriff?"
"He may be in Paradise now.
Land's a friend of mine, I'phoned
him as soon as I hea: c: the explosion.
He won't waste any time gettin' up

"Well, you get him as quick as that

in all the deputise you can, and fan it
for Bodine's place. There's going to
be hell to pay there in another hour.
Acklin is going to swing him if he
can."
"He means business, huh?"
"You bet he does! But I intend to
have something to say about tbat. I
don't want hint hung! This party
of Acklin's is going to throw the fear
of God into an old friend of mine. I've
got to stop it some way."
Blaze was thinking of Shorty.
Still Blaze realized as Kent and he
dashed along that if the Big Boss and
his men got to Webster Creek first,
as was most likely, the odds against
being able to play for time until the
sheriff and his posse arrived would
make the effort 'almost hopeless. The
cowboy racked his brain to invent some
game of cross purposes by which he
could accomplish this seeming impos-
sibility. Ile understood fully, too,
that evenwith the sheriff there It was

CAUGHT IN A TRAP
Bocfiee caught sound of Shorty's
corning, when the man was still some
distance away. Buck had worked lin-
Self into a fine ferment as he waited.
He put on his hat now and went to
the barn. He wanted a word with
Shorty before he faced the girl.
He heard them drive into the yard,
and saw Mercedes get out of the wa-
gon and walk into the kitchen. A few
seconds later Shorty pulled up his
team. in front of the barn.
"Damn it, man, where you been?"
Buck demanded' angrily.
"You mean, where ain't I been,"
Shorty growled back at him, "Look
at that rig. It's been over the hubs
in mud half the time. I got what I
went after, didn't I?"
"Yee? And you had me seared to
death, too. You unhitch your team
and saddle up. The boys are waitin'
for you on the trail that •goes, up to
Liotard's plata. I'll bring you down
in the mornin' if everything's O.K."'
"What about the kid?" Shorty asked.
"I clean forgot him," Buck admitted.
"You stay and hang on to, hint. If
ho starts squawkin' again, wring his
little neck."
Mercedes drew back as Buck open-
ed the kitchen door. The slovenly dis-
order of the room and, the air of mys-
tery which hung over the entire place
had thoroughly alarmed her. Bodine
saw her nervous start.
"Well, I see you got here at last,"
he said with an easy smile. "I knew
you'd be worried about the kid."
"Is he all right?"
"Sure; sound asleep right now."
"Let me have him, please. I want
to take him." .

English English
Is to Be Spoken
"Talkies" to Bring About One
Language, Is the Opinion
of Movie Manager
New York—The English language,
through talking motion pictures, now
stands a good chance of becoming the
international language, in the opinion
of John Maxwell, chairman of British
International Pictures, and Colvin
Brown, vicepresident of the Pathe
Company, who arrived here on the
Berengaria.
It's going to be "English English,"
however, and not "American English,"
in the opinion of Mr. Maxwell. He
cited as reason for his belief the fact
that a large number of English actors
are being engaged for the talkies at
Hollywood.
"Please don't get the idea," he said,
"that real English is the haughty tic -
cent of Oxford and Cambridge, which
has given England a rather comic
reputation. The English we speak
over there is a plain, clear language,
not much different from the English
that any .well-educated American uses.
The -chief difference is perhaps that
we enunciate more clearly than do
the Americans."
Brown said the Englist are criticis-
ing the American accent in the talk-
ing pictures sent over there, and he
expects to see a battle between New
York English and London English,

And the gulls scream behind.

Daintily out and south,
Where the snarling ocean waits her
With tiger•foaming mouth.

Mien,
Sit• William, in replying to the de-
putation , which was led by Archibald
Allen,.chairinari of the council, made.
it clear that he is opposed to censor-
ship and that the law as it stands, in
his opinion, is adequate to deal with
offending authors or publishers.
He declared that he preferred to
make a further effort in cleansing.

any alteration in the law.
The publication of evil books, said
the Home Secretary, wa:t. a sign of.

as much of a moral offense as to break

Mr. Allen thanked Sir William for
listening to the deputation, butex-
pressed himself as 0 little disappoint-
ed that the Hope Secretary could not
sea Itis way to immediate remedial'
legislation.
"So far as the youth of the country
is concerned these people c,re poison-

quoted a resolution saying that the
council were of opinior that legisla-
tion should be promoted providin , that
any person knowingly selling rbjec-.

young persons under 18 should be
punished under summary eurisdiction

calculated to corrupt the morals of

increasingly the harm such books and

Why "New Teeth.
for Old"?
Perhaps you were wondering why,
little Sonny had to lose his "baby"
teeth and have them replaced with
new ones.
Why, your asked yourself, do they
not remain permanently and develop
in size during the growing years Just
as do the ears and eyes?
"Because they become decayed?"
.you say; but not necessarily so, since,
tooth decay is a disease and is there-
fore abnormal and preventable; and
for that matter, wben you lose a tooth,
through decay at six and twenty, does,
a new tooth replace it?
But consider: You have seen' a
little sapling. grow to be a big tree—
"large oaks from little acorns grow",
but did you ever hear of a small
pebble growing to become a large,
stone? Not likely so, and for obvious'.
reasons for, as you know ,the tree is:
of organic matter, whip eke. stone le
of inorganic.
Now the tooth; . being t,uutousea
largely of inorganic matter, especially
the outer enamel covering, which is,
almost wholly so, like the pebble, can-
not of itself change in form, and so
grow larger once it le fully developed.
Obviously, too, Sonny's little jaw
has no room for the large rtooth that
he will need when he is fully grown.
So unlike the potatoes that "from
little ones do big ones grow", we have
instead, 'new teeth for old".
These baby teeth then serve tem-
porarily for. mastication until the max
Mary or jaw bones are sufficiently de-
veloped to accommodate the larger
perinapent teeth of adult age,
Theyare mother Nature's expedient,
as it were, and a good expedient too,
