"Guess we had company this after-

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; Mercedes had followed them
into the hills! Her only objeet could
have been to ,.top then. Well, she
had been too late, or .had missed her
brother altogether.
It was the ,aor:. of a minute for
hin, to pen a note to her.. To prove
his point with the e girl, he made the

"Guess I'll turn in. The show's
over."
Buck had clone his share of the
talking in the time that had elapsed

His head fell forward. The little
circle of amen grew quiet. Blaze put
his ear to the boy's heart.
"He'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 his men
helped Kildare.
"Where've you got Bodine?" he de-
manded when Blaze had left.
"Got him?" Cash questioned. "I
air 't got him r.,,. -here:."
• "What?"
"No. I ain't seen Bodine. I was
just runnin' a windy on the kid. I
picked up the fresh trail of 'three
horses this evening. They had cone
in from Webster Creek. I've been
chasin' back and forth tryin' to pick
'em up in the daik, or I'd 'a' been
here sooner."
"What made you think Bodine was
among them?"

Melody knew Mercedes had come
up beoide him, but 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 ever known.
Every childhood memory centred
within its walls. Under ether circum-
stances its destruction would have
crushed her; but she had been through
too inuch this night already. Her
nerves and emotions had lost • the
power to react to further torture.
She was dazed by what She beheld.
She wanted to -dash into the ruins
and search with feverish haste for
Basilio, but aatrar.o-like lethargy en-
veloped her. It frightened Melody
more than tears. 'His voice quavered
unceftainly as he spoke to her.
"I'll take a look inside, if you'll
wait out here."
"No, I'll go with yet."
"You better not do that," the cow-
boy begged. 'Things'll be torn up
pretty bad in there." •
"But B-3-Basilio." • 'She hesitated
over the word. •
"I tell foa; we won't find him, Sen-
orita. He air't here."
It was his old assertion. Mercedes
bad moved ahead of him. If el.e were
determined to search the ruins, it
would be .useless for him to try to hold
her back. It -would be better to stay
at her side and '.ruck her up if she did
find anything.

"Who do you think was the third

"T ain't even got a guess."
Acklin contorted his mouth nerv-
busly.
"No matter," ho said after an in-
terval. "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 man we've got, Cash. We'll
throw a circle over this country that
no one'll crawl thr.,ugh. If we pick
up Bodine, he'll be among the dear
departed by morning."
Morrow's eyes bulged.
"You mean you're goin' to stretch

"That's exactly

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 before morn-
ing," he went on; "and they won't be
ladies. Even if those two boys keep
their mouths shut, Acklin may get the

The girl was exhausted. Melody
wondered how she clung to her horse.
He tried to cheer her up, but it was a
hod 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-

he uttered them. So, in silence, they

Graveley Misled
Explanation Offered byGreat

Churchill
London—Lord Byng has at last re-
vealed the true story of the strike and.
mutiny of British troops at Calais in
January, 1019.
Winston Churchill gave a narrative
in his record book which contained
bitter animus against British Labor.
He puts the blame for mutiny on the
Labor Corps, whirr 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 Unionism."
Air. 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-
rades of theirs who had in no wise
borne the brunt of the fighting."
Bubble Pricked.

If troops under Byng were really4
roused to indignation, as 'Churchill
says, againstnon-fighting units, they
had been gravely misled and misinJ
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 agil
tation.
Byng found the men of artizan
type, sound, reasonable, and able., to
face facts.
Minard's Liniment for Coughs. Colds.
This account sounds 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 bubble of
Churchillian 'rhetoric. Byng says
there wore 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 hacl returned from leave.
Lord Byng met and talked with
the leaders of the strikers and he was
conviuced they had legitimate griev-
ances.
Byng says: "These men were rea-
sonable. They were all of the artizan
type, sound knovledgeable fellows
able to face facts."
Byng had no difficulty in fixing an
agreement and getting the men back
to their duties. The mutiny among
returned leave men collapsed when

Garden Notes
Edward C. Vick in the April issue
of "People's Ilome- Journal" states
that the "annuals that may be started
from seed' planted early in the spring
aro: Sweet alyssum, argcnmone, 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
plants of their foliage half way up
the .stalk. The feet that the tubers
are large when dug and growth vigor-
ous indicates too much fertilizer. Use
ne 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 su:face and rake it in
lightly before -planting, - Grow the
plants where they will have full sun-
light, not in the shade. Have not more
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.".
