Dr. Handy, famous •specialist, and las daughter Irene, meet with an a.cei- dent While on a motoring trip in the foothills of Alberta. and .find a' refuge ,in the cabin of the Elden ranch where dwell David and his dessolute father. Dr. Hardy's, brolcen leg is mending and. this is David and Irene's last evening together. CH.A,PTER ( They reached an open space. Some- thing blaok—or was it red ?—lay the groun.cl. Dave bent over it, a mo- ment, then looked up t» her white, elear lace, whiter 'and •clearer than ever since witnessing the strength ef his hate. "It's yam, lame calf Brownie," he said, as calmly a.scould, eHale mothea. She knew she stood at the • parting of the ways; that all life for her wast'nbeing moulded na that mo- ment Then she put both her arms ab„ his flreok atod draw his lips to hers She tried to pull betr4elf together. You know I've. had a good time'with yea, Dave," ehe staid, "and I've gone with you everywhere, like 1 would not have gone with 'any other boy.I ever knew, and Pve 'balke& and let you talk about things I never talked about be - More, and I believe you're true and elean, and—and " "Yes," -he said. "Vehat'e your answer?" ""I know you're true and -clean," she repeated. 'Come to rne—like that— when I'm a woman and you're a man, and then—then well know.'. He wale tall and straight, and his ehadoer fell across her face, as th.ough eve -i the moon muet not see. "Reenie," he said, "kiss me.' For one moment she thought tof her up, Wolves, I guess. He saw her teyes grow slowly larger in the moonlig,ht. Without a word she sank to her knees. He saw her fingers about her head, burrowing in her leair. Then she looked up, over the _black trees, to the sky with its white eon and its few great' stare. The poor, poor thing," she beeath- ed, "The poor, innocent thing. Why did it have to die?" "It's always the innocent thingseat suffers," he answered. "Always the innocent things," She repeated meehanecally. She eprang to her feet and faced him. "There what about the justice of God?" she demanded. "I don't know nothire 'about the 'jettAlce of God," he answered, bitterly. "All I ICITOW 75 the crittur at can't run gets caught," " There was a long pause. "It doesn't seem right," she said at length_ "It ain't right," he agreed. "But I guess it's life, I see it here on. the prairies with every livin' thing. Everything is a victim, some way or , other, Even the wolves 'at tore this little beast el go down to wome ranch- er's rifle, maybe, although they were only doen' what nature said. . . I guess it's the same way in the- cities; the innocent 'bein' 'hunted, an -the in- nocenter they are the easier they're caught.

After the depart- ure of the Hardys things at the old ranch were, as both father and $on had predicted, very different. They found themselves ,on a port of good behavious—a behaviour whech, un- happily, excited. in each other grave suspicions as to purpose. Between these two men rude 'eo-urtesies or con- siderations of any kind hadbeen so long forgotten that attempts .te re- introduce them aesali5ecl in a sort of estrange/not More, clangereas than the old open h6etily,.. The tension steadily inca-eased, %del both looked forward te the monient when some- thing must give way. For several weeks the old man re- mained .entirely eober, but the call of the appetite in him grew more and more insistent as the days went by, and at last came the morning when Dave awoke to find him gone, He needed no serond 'guess; the craving had become irresaistible, and hie father Tiled with handicrafts and the jibe. had ridden to town for the means to With the same object, needlework, Satisfy it, The passing days did not which has for years •occupied, the bring his return, but this occasioned eentre of the stage ore the main floor, anxietY ton Dave.

He sold herse and saddle for sixty doles arid 'took a roon at a cheap hotel, until he should find. work and still cheaper lodgings, In the evening he walked through the streets' .of the little eow town. It was nett altogether new to him; he had frequently visited it for business or pleasure, but he had never felt the sense tof strangeness which op- pressed him this night.

But now he was throwing in his lot with the town; he was going to be one ofit, and it stretched' no arras to welcome to him. It snubbed 'him with its indifference. . .

(To be continued) Engines Made From Sand. Modern science produces all kinds of things from the most unlikely sources but, even so, one would hardly expect to see important parts of a steam engine'entetie from sand dug up from the sea -shore. Cast-iron of excellent quality is now being made from the iron sands that abound on the shores of New 'Zealand. On aver a hundred miles of coast there are millions of tone of this Iran send, bat it is only during the last few' years that it has been utilized, The raw material ---a heavy black sand—is ehovelled into an eleetric fur- nace; purifying materials, such as limestone, are added, and the elec- tricity is turned on. The saectriefty flows theaugh great eget on rods, weighing, nearly half a ton each., and.
