even. "I said that sbo was going
home," he went an,
Acklin should have known better
than to continue this, but he was
blind with rage over his loss. He re-
fte.ecl to •be warn'eu, He raised .his
hr nd to Skip,
"1)o what I tell you," he cried.
`Take her to the Rull's Head. I'm
still givin' the orders here." He reach-
ed for his revolver.
Skip started to move, but he took
only a step. Kildare's guns covered
the crowd.
"Throw up your hands, all of you!"
he rasped out. "I'll bust the first one
that moves. This it once when I give
orders. You got a horse, Melody?"
he asked.
"I've heard hint called that."
"Get her Lonie then. I'm telling
you! Don't look anywhere else."
Blaze turned to the girl.
"You go with Melody. He'll get
you to the Rancho."
Tlie Big Boss hesitated. The girl
was gone before Blaze spoke again.
"All right, boys. You can take
them down," he said slowly. "Thanks
for obliging that C ay."
He dropped his guns as he spoke to
Acklin.
"I've worn myself thin for ybur
outfit. Things have been going on
that I didn't savvy. But I didn't ask
any questions. I could quit ie I didn't
like it. I guess I'm through now. I
sunpose I'll be getting my pay in the
morning."
Acklin glared at Kildare. His ex-
pression charged as he told him what
CHAPTER XXIX.
THE CLASH OF WILLS.
He felt her stir; a second, and she
opened her eyes. Mercedes refused
to believe what she 011V17. She lifted
her hand slowly and felt the man be-
side her. He was real thenl
While Blaze, knelt with Mercedes in
his arms .on the '.rink of the canon,
the roaring below them grew in vio-
lence. Grinding, screeching, the rush-
ing water was- ripping the hole,
through which it was pouring, into an
ever widening gap.'',The concrete was
still green. It Lad set well enough to
hold back the placid 'water, but
against this flood it was 'helpless. One
block would give way, and bring its
neighbors tumbling down with it. The
titanic force, sweepingbe, caught
then up if they had been marbles
and hurled them into the'va;;ey.
From the bank acrose' the canon
somebody called him. It was Melody;
good old Mdodyl
"I tried to save the dans,' Mercedes
murmured slowly. "Basilio he's
down there."
"You trailed Esteban, eh?"
She nodded.
"The little chief may be all right,"
Blaze lied, wondering how Esteban
could have failed to think of his bro-
ther and sister. "The wwter will be
spread out long before it gets to the
hacienda."
Mercedes tried to sit up.
"You're not lil,rt?"•`Kildare asked.
"Just tired ... very tired, Blaze.
What will happen to Esteban now?"
"Let the others ask that. You keep
still," he warned. "Scmeone's coming
now. It'll be :1cklin, too."
It was the Big 1 oss. Skip and a
dozen others werc with hint. The fury
of the man suggested the onrush of
the angry wi.ters through the gorge.
At first he saw only Kildare.
"What did it?". he shouted. "A,
bon.b?"
His quick -acting brain had• sensed
an invasion of his empire that even
the courts could not repair. He was
off his horse 'in advance of his men
and striding t., said. Blaze when '-ie
saw iliercedes.
"What's she ging twee?" he bel-
lowed. Withmt giving hien time to
answer,. he yelled: "Yee saw her!
What was she ue to?"
Blaze got to his feet.
"She was doin' the best she could
to save the dam," he drawled omi-
nously.
Mercedes spoke for the first time.
"I was too late," she half whisper-
ed. "Too late to save even my little
brother."
The men gathered close about her,
hanging on her wards. Acklin felt
Himself outside the circle of.sympathy.
He turned and stand at. the remains
of the dam that had been his life's
dream. Some one would pay 1or,that!
The lake was almost empty. Two
men waded their horses across it a,
circled round until they were up with
the others. It was Beother Jones and
Melody with their questions,
Skip had produced a flask, and
Blaze doled out the stimulant to the
girl. Her face lost its whiteness.
"Guess we better get you back to
the Rancho now," he suggested.
Acklin overheard him.
"This is a job for the sheriff," he
snarled. "She's goi.tg to the Bull's
Head."
The crowd eaught the clash of wills.
Blaze saw Melody. They exchanged
a glance.
"You misunderstood me slightly."
Kildare's tones were too sweet, too

What Is a Teacher?
The qualities worth looking for in
a teacher are described by an editorial
in "The household Magazine," as fol-
lows:
1, Brains, of course. A. teacher is
no good unless he or she has statural:
intelligence phis education. A teacher
is employedto teach.
2. Personality. Good looks are an
asset in teaching as in everything else:

ought to be homely are plain fools;
ilgllneeS has no value except in a
sideshow, Good looks are not the
most important thing, however. Taste
in dress, a quiet, pleasing voice, poise
of manner, ability to understand all
sorts of pupils, are more important.
3. Tolerance. Most of us are none
too tolerant. Children get notions of
intolerance at .home. Intolerance is
stimulated by their desire to conform
to the crowd. It means much to the
future of children if they have a
teacher who Views actions and ideas
and people coolly, without anger,
without sentimentality: A teacher

Blaze carne up at that. Esteban
stared at hint.
"Hello, Kildare," he smiled..
The cowboy shook his head sadly.
The thing he had feared had happen-
ed. The young fellow seemed .to read
his thoughts. His smile never de-
serted him, however.
"Roll me a smoke, will you?" he
asked.
Blaze made a cigaret for him and
put it in his mouth. By the light of
the flaring match , he saw the boy's
condition. •
"You're hurt bad, eh?"
"I'm going out this time, all right.
But I haven't got any kick" He
turned his eyes on the Big Boss. "I
wanted to beat you once=just once.
I guess I got my wish."
"Your pals will get their wish, too,"
the big cattleman replied meaningly.
"That's talk, Acklin. Just talk!
This was my party. I got the dyna-
mite for the. job. I made the raft.
And I sent it adrift."
"Oh, no, you didn't!" It was Mor-
row who spoke. He had been there
for a minute, unnoticed. "You didn't
make the mine that dil this job. You
ain't smart enough."
His men fell back as the foreman
advanced to Esteban's side.
"We got the fellow that bossed this
job. Caught him over in the butes.
Botdine is he man!"
And Romero? Had they caught
him, too? ' The boy had to risk a ques-
tion.
"You got him with you, have yuh?"
Cash grinned.
"He'll be here directly. And the
other one, too." Cash didn't risk an-
other name. .Esteban. didn't notice
that. His heart sank. Evidently
Cash was not bluffing.
"Mercedes .. , Basilio 1" Esteban
groaned. His head fell forward on his
chest. Blaze put his arm around him.
In a few words he told the boy about
his sister.
"But Basilio?" Esteban cried so- that
all heard. "Bodine promised to get
him out in tine."
He reached up and pulled Kildare's
ear down close to his mouth. "You
lock out for her, will you? Tell her
that I tried to get word to her and
the baby."
"Buck up," Blaze pleaded. "You're
not going out."
"Hang on to toe," the boy begged.
"I'm 'choking. I'll be gone in just a
minute."
Poison Mushrooms
Easy to Recognize
When you don't know for certain
whether a mushroom is edible or not,
do not eat it. Of the two most cora-'
mon poisonous types that should be
avoided we give the following descrip-
tions:
"The most important part of the
deadly ,amanita is the sheath at the
base of the stem known as the death -
cup. The ring on the stem is larger
than that of the common mushroom,
and the gills are white, , both when
young and old, those of common mush.
rooms being, at first pink, then black.
Nothing can be told from the color of
the upper surface of the cap because
it varies so much. When one is gath-
ering mushrooms, it is exceedingly
important to get all of the stem and
not leave a portion of it in the ground,
since the death -cup may thus be over-
looked.
"The fly amanita is as beautiful as
it is dangerous. The cap is usually
bright scarlet, yellowish or orange,
sometimes fading to nearly white, and
covered with conspicuous warts, which.
are portions of the death -cup carried
up from below. The rest of the cup,
will usually be found in. fragments in
the soil about the swollen base of the
•
stem. The gills aro white and remain
so, thus differing from those of the
common mushroom. The warts on
the cap also distinguish it,"
I tried to save the dam," Mercedes
murmured slowly. "Basilio ... he's
own there, too."
d
Mercedes had done. The girl's daring
von muttered approval from the men.
Acklin walked back and forth for a
minute or two before answering.
"You may be right," he growled at
ast. "I aim to find out, though. If
She wasn't in this deal, her brother
was. She'd never been here, other-
wise. He wasn't alone, either. I'll
never believe that a kid like Esteban
could make a bomb good enough to
blow that wail out."
The big cow -man returned to his
pacing back an forth, as indication
that the incident was closed for the
time being. The men stood about un-
easily, wondering what thea would do
next. Brother Jones• s ul-e to Blaze.
Several others joined them.
With modesty peculiar to mien of
his type, Blaze .said little of his rescue
of Mercedes. Skip :Ind the other boys
were equally reticent in commenting
on it, but they understood. It was the
cowboy code.
Acklin had been drawn back to his
scrutinizing of the wrecked wall. So
far no definite plan of action had
,evolved in his mind. His foreman
must have heard the explosion and
]mist be on the way to his side. Look-
ing across the canon, he saw a rider
silhouetted against the sky. His first
thought was that it was Morrow.
"Hello, there?" the ot'rnr called.
"That you, Double A?"
It was . Chet Devine. Acklin an-
swered him.
'Come on over here," the man shout-
ed. "I got the bird that di this trick,"
"Who is he?" the Big Boss de-
manded.
"I doii't know. He's hidin' between
,here and the cedars. He's badly
wer,nded."
By the time they had made the de-
scent ; to the valley and climbed up
to the high plateau. on which Chet
waited; some of Morrow's men from
the peak had arrived. Cash himself
had not yet shown up. Acklin left
Patterson behind to wait for him.
Leaving their horseswhen they
neared the trees, the men spread out
and began beating the brash. Moving
in an unbroken line they advanced
toward the spot that hadbeen the
shore of the lake. They had come
within sight of it without discovering
any one when .a voice cried out to
thein "Come onl I'm done."
They saw him then leaning against
the -trunk of a tree.: It was Esteban.
Acklin reeognized him first.
"So it's you, eh?" he questioned.
"I'm not surprised."
"I didn't think you wot.ld be," the
'boy .answered with a grin.
