She sat dowl to wait. 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 g'•ound be-
tween the barn and the corrals, try-
ing to read signs in the dry °and.
She came upon the fresh trail of
three horse 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 hays the chance that
they might circle back. Allowing for
the time she must lose by following
their trail, Mercedes could not hope
to reach the buttes before six.
She did better than that, howevar.
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 had 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 iio'nting to the east
had told her at last.
"The dam!" she cried. "Por Dios!
They are going to blow up the dam!"
She pictured the water rushing into
the valley; the stock swept away;
houses made into kindling wood, peo-
ple killed. A niad, wild scream came
from her: "Basilio!"

CHAPTER XXVI. (Cont'd.)
Catching up her skirts, she fled to
the barn. Scattered about cn the floor
were the remains of half a dozen
empty boxes. They had been broken
open hurriedly and left without any
attempt at concealment. Mercedes
eyes widened in horror at th,t screain-
ing letters printed on their sides and
ends. Esteban's going now explained'
itself. This was why he had not taken

She followed the tracks of the
wheels until they turned into the dim
road that led to the northwest. That
way did not lead to town, or to the
crossing into the Sings. It went to
Webster Creek.
Webster Creek ... Bodine!
Ten torturing min:.tes of worry in-
creased her nervou.:ness until her
body rebelled at inaction. Whatever
his motive, she was certain that Este-
ban had gone to Bodine's ranch. With

Esteban wondered at the Lag fel-

raft, and on this he looped and wired
his long, slow -bathing fuse.

murmur of the water, :She was lost!`
She wanted to cry out; but she opened
her mouth the first time, and no sound
came. With supreme courage she
forced herself to her feet. She tried
calling again, and this time her voice
rang out among the trees. The sound
of it reassured her. She repeated her
cry. It hung on in the stillness.

Department of
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 marvellous 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 establishmen'', maintenance
or extension c' water supply acid sew-
age disposal, garbage collection, milk

Water Noises
When 1 am playing by myself
And all the boys are lost around,
Then l can hear the water go;
It makes a little talking sound.
Along the rocks below the tree,
1 see it ripple up and wink;
And 1 can hear it saying on,
"And do you think? and do you think?
A bug shoots by that snaps and ticks,
And a bird flies up beside the tree
To get into .the sky to sing.
I hear it say, "Killdee, killdeer"
Or else a yellow coin comes odwn
To splash a while and have a drink.
And when she goes I still can hear
The water say, "And do you think?"
—Elizabeth Madox Roberts, in "Un-
• der the Tree."
Industry has its own health prob-
lems and special service is proffered
by the Department to further the
health of the wo-•ker in industry. Any
industrial .a: agement may request
help to meet the health needs of its
plant, because the Department realizes
that health plays just as important
a part in plant operation as the horse-
power which makes the wheels go
-•aurid.
HEALTH IN THE HOME.
In the home the real fight for health
is staged, and into the noire the De-
p i.tment sends knowledge of every
new discovery after it has been care-
fully tried and tested. The home is
using this knowledg in every -day life
just as it pu:hes the electric button
to. light the floor lamp or heat the
electric iron. It is because the mothers
of Ontario have used this health
knowledge that Ontario's infants are
not dying from diseases due to incor-
rect feeding in such large numbers as
formerly; it is due to the splendid co-
operation of Ontario parents that 40,-
005
0,000 children were protected against
diphtheria last year, and it will be
through the efforts made in aur homes
that preventable disease—diabetes,
tuberculosis and cancer as well as the
acute infectious diseases—will be re-
duced in this Province. Personal
health means community health na•
tional health, and personal health de-
pends in the home.
DIVISIONAL ORGANIZATION.
The Department is organized into
a series of Divisions, each responsible
for its own job:
Division ,•f Sanitary Engii,eEi,4ng.
Division of Preventable Diseases.
Division of Child Hygiene.
Division of Laboratories.
Division of Industrial Hygiene.
Division of Dental Services.
Division of Vital Statistics.

Revolvers and the Police
Toronto Star (Ind.): A newspaper
in North Carolina says the people of
the United States have a good lesson
to learn from Canadians in the way
of respect for law and order. It is,
we think, true. But we should, in
Canada, see to it that our police do
not forfeit a reputation long earned
and deserved, and do not get into the
habit of using revolvers too readily,
as, of late, they have occasionally
done.

The whole world knows Aspirin as an effective antidote for
pain. But it's just as important to know that there is only one
genuine Aspirin. The naive Bayer is on every tablet, and on the
box. If the name Bayer appears, it's genuine; and if it doesn't,
it is not! Headaches are dispelled by Aspirin. So are colds, and
the pain that goes with them ; even neuralgia, Ileuritis, and rheuma-
tism promptly relieved. Get Aspirin—at any drugstore --with
