"How did you get here?" he

"I went home a little after 'dark.

them and one 'asked the other if
they'd left the nota. Then they put
a sack over my head and tied me on
my horse and we rode all night, it
seemed. They treated me all right."
She looked at Dave, /her eyes puzzled.
"What's this all about?"
"I dunno," Dave answered. "I was
forced to sign over my half of mar
ranch to Crowell."
"Crowell? The man you and dad
are looking for? The one behind the
dynamiting?".
"Yeah," Dave needed. "I thought
he was behind. it but there's somea

"Yes, that's your way, isn't it?"
Dave swung around to face her.
"Why, what else should I do? What
would any man-" ;he caught himiself.
"Here's the horses," he said quietly.
It was close to dusk when Dave
and Dorsey neared• the pass. Dave
.had been scanning the rocky ridge
ahead of them that barred -their way
to the valley.
"It's a prison," he pronounced.

"Axe

he looked off to the far'horizon. "But
that's not the way the world gives a
man what belongs' to him, I reckon.
It's fight or die. I died for eight
years. I'm goin' to live now for a
little while." _
Dorsey caught her breath. "Then

-Hard. You're cruel and ruthless.
You're a murderer!"
Dave flinched as if struck with a
whip.
"Dorsey," his voice was pleading,
"can't you see?"
"Please go," she said quietly.
Dave's lips were a grim line as he
turned on his heel and strode off in-
to the gathering dusk.
Dave paused to remove his boots.
In the stillness, they seemed to make
the noise of an army on the march.
Paused, he suddenly jerked erect and
listened. Behind him, farther down
the ridge he could hear the crunching
of bootsoles on, rock.
"Some ranny saw me and is follow -
in'," he thought 'savagely. He raised
his head above the edge of the rock
and waited.
Slowly, the man was making his
way forward against the skyline.
Dave saw 'him raise up and listen.
Dave drew a bead on him, 'then let
his Colt slack. A shot would alarm
the guard for sure and give him
away. The man was close now. He
could hear the quiet breathing of
the man as he paused by the rock,
apparently listening. Strangely, then,
the man seated himself on the rock
behind which Dave was hidden.
With noiseless effort, Dave hoisted
himself out of the crevice, got a toe-
hold on the rock and lunged at the
sitting figure. The force of bis spring
took them both sprawling on the
ground. Dave's hand was on the
stranger's throat, but 'the force of the
man's great strength was not easy to
calm.
Suddenly, the man ceased strug-
gling and Dave eased off his hands.
Then: "Dave Turner, jug -headed,
murderin' fool!"
"Rosy! My God -I thought you'd
be dead."
"I near am," Rosy muttered.
"How'd you know it was me?"
Dave asked.
`
"When you lowered your head, I
hit that place where the bushwhacker
slammed you, but you was hanging
on to me like a burr. 1 aimed to
play dead so's you'd take your hand
off my throat."
"Did the guard see you?"
"I. don't think so."
"And be's on this rock?"
Rosy said he was. They sat a
moment listening to see if they had
alarmed the guard, but the night was
soundless.
"Dorsey Hammond?" Rosy asked
incredulously. "Why -I never heard
about it. Are you sure?" he checked
himself. "Let's get on. We got some
work ahead of us. Near as I can
make out, this here rock he's on Is
cup shaped, and a little higher than
the rest of the hill."
They decided that Dave was to go
dowp the slope, circle around, hide
,himself and 'open fire. Rosy was to
approach the, rampart from the ridge.
"Then let's go." Rosy said,
Dave disappeared down the side of
the scarp and Rosy continued ahead.
Worming his way forward for nearly
twenty minutes, pausing to listen oc-
casionally, he' finally achieved a
round knob of rock which he bad not-
ed from below as being close to the
rampart.
He could smell cigarette smoke,
hear the slight movement of the man
on top iu the cup. A veering of the
wind carried the smell of cedar
smoke to himand he guessed the
man had built a small fire.
He smiled. "Fool," he thought. "If
he looks out into the night from that
fire be couldn't see a cavalry troop."
A shot from below electrifled ,him
and he knew Dave was cached cosily
behind a rock, shooting at random.
Rosy heard the loud hiss of water on
coals as the guard extinguished his
fire. The answering shot was loud
and close.
.Rosy hoisted himself up. With a
The force of his spring took them both sprawling on the ground.
"A little more brtchenin'."
"Do you have to?"
"We've get to get by the guard at
the pass," Dave said, "and he'll
shoot."
They pulled in at a 8-4ai1-dz`a and
dismounted. Dave took the car
from the ,saddle -hoot.
Dorsey came close to him and laid
a hand on his sleeve. 6 1 -

The guard whipped alt•ound, raised
his rifle, and a lance of orange licked
out. Rosy fanned the gun desperate-
ly, waiting for a bullet to pick bim

among the rocks. He saw the limp

Dave was waiting" with Dorsey at
the pass when he reached it.
It'took Laredo tbree minutes to get
a saddled. horse from the livery stable
after he had left the 'sheriff's' office.
He rode slowly north up the valley,
leading the horse. When ..he .was
out of sight of the town,, Isle left the
road and started up the mountains to
the east, . Where the mountains broke
for the railroad tracks in a deep pass
hearralleled the tracks racks for three
miles or so.
When he heard the freight train
come slogging up the grade he watch-
ed it quietly. As the last three cars
disappeared, Laredo saw .a man swing
off the caboose.
Then the man turned and survey-
ed the country around shim. Laredo
stood up and waved an arm and the
man walked over to him. The new-
comer .was dressed in laced boots,
clean but faded breeches' and an open
necked khaki shirt. He was a mid-
dle-aged man, broad of face and quiet
of eye. He smoked a pipe set com-
fortably in a wide ,mouth.
He greeted Laredo quietly, a glint
of amusement in his deepest eyes.
"Hullo, cowboy."
"Howdy, C.huck."
They mounted and started back
over the same trail Laredo had come.
Laredo's' companion studied. him. Fin-
ally, he spoke.
"When are you goin' to tell me
what this is all about, Laredo? Why
all the secrecy?"
"It's a long story, Chuck. A lot of
it I don't •Itnow, and I'm dependin' on,
you to tell me,"
"What about?"
"1 dunno," Laredo persisted'. "Thet'a
what I got you up here foil All we.
got to do now is to ride fora while
and thena yotr can tell me."
"Ride how tar? I should catch the
night train out."
And after that Laredo did not talk.
When they bad passed the lake on
the way to the D Bar T, Laredo left
the trail that angled down to the
ranch and picked his own. The two
horsemen skirted the base of Old
Cartridge which jutted down to the
lake ,and headed north toward the
mountains.
As dusk settled into dark, Chuck
gave up trying to keep the directions
and let his horse have its head. With
the precision of years of practice,
Laredo went deeper and deeper into
the canyons.
They had ridden an hour in this
when Laredo drew up.
He dismounted. and Chuck heard
him go off a short distance. When
he returned, something clanged at
his side.
"Here's a lantern," he said. "Light
up and come •with me."
Chuck did as he ;was bid and in the
flickering circle of light cast by the
lantern he followed Laredo. The can-
yon 'narrowed until its width could be
spanned by stretching the arms, and
a cool dank smell of wet rock sur-
rounded them. Suddenly they step-
ped out of the bottleneck on to the
sparse grass of a little amphitheater.
"Here's the place," Laredo said. He
squatted' on his heels by the lantern
and rolled a cigarette carefully. ,
"For a month, off and on, I ben
watching a hombre dig here. What I
want to know is, what is it he dug?"
• He picked up the lantern and mo,'
ed over toward one of the walls. A
tight -mouthed tunnel appeared before.
them and Laredo motioned Chuck in-
side.
Chuck set his lamp on the floor nt
the end with a smothered oath. A
single, short -handled pickaxce lay on
the floor.
"Have you been lookin' at;the walls
here?" he asked Laredo slowly, unbe-
lievingly.
Laredo nodded. Chuck pointed.
"Hell, he don't need a pick. You can
pick those nuggets out with a pocket-
knife."
"So it's gold?" Laredo asked.
"We've passed fifty thousand dol-
lar's worth in the last twenty-five
steps," Chuck said slowly. "Man!
Somebody's so rich they can use sol-
id gold bits for every ,horse in their
stable. Who owns it?"
Laredo shook his head and spat
precisely. "Not, me. Not the jasper
that's beenminin' it either,"
"Fou mean somebody that doesn't
own it has done this work?"
Laredo nodded. "Ile figgered it
would be his some day, so it .wasn't
wasted."

Apparently intent on getting their

or resting in the back rooms of deal-
ers' shops ready to be pushed into
the display windows. Poised on the
automotive ways ready for immediate
launching are Dodge, Chevrolet, Cadi-
llac and LaSalle.
By the time the New York show
opens its doors, all the new models
will' have been on exhibition with the
possible exception of Ford, who likes
to have a show of his own after the
other models are out.
Sharply in evidence at automotive
laboratories is the five -word phrase:.
"Hupmobile has done it again," fol-
lowing the Hupp Motor Car Corpora-
tion's announcement that it would in -
vide the low -(price car market with a
rew'six and four designed along the
revolutionary lines of the low -slung,
ground -gripping Cord.
Accustomed to expect periodic
spurts of ultra -modernism from the
laboratories of the Hupp Corporation,
which has -done much to set: the stage
for present-day streamlines, engineers
heeame even more expectant when
the Hupp group enlisted the services
of Norman de Vaux as -general man-
ager, in charge of production. Through
his foresight, Hupp has purchased the
dies of the Cord in order that the de-
sign of the new models would carry
a tone of authenticity rather than
that of a copy whiob seldom . strikes
the public as well as an original.
So, when engineers say, "Hupp has
done it again," they mean that the
Hupmobile of 1939 may set the stage
for a new type of low-cost, small lin-
ing and popular appeal from the
standpoint of economy and smart
styling.
Hnpnrehile engineers thought long
and hard before introducing a four -
cylinder car to a market that has not
been friendly to new makes in the
last ten y@ars. But a Cord body on
a four -cylinder car chassis thrusts a
type of design on the' market that im-
presses crgineers with sales potential-
ities in the low -price levels.
Rakish is the word applied to the
new Hu, -pp six and four. A 101 -horse-
power engine propelling a 2900 pound
car spells a surprisingly rapid get-
away for "the 'new six. With a top

Response of Crops to Manure
That different crops respond in
varying measures to the application
of manure is a well recognized fact.
A knowledge of how they respond is
necessary if the most profitable re-
turns are to be obtained from the
manure and from the crops in the ro-
tation as a whole.
Where intertilled crops are grown,
they will perhaps show the most pro-
fitable response, but where rotations
consist of grain and hay the answer
to the question is not so obvious.
With rotations on heavy clay soils
such as are found in Northelzn On-
tario, the results of an experiment at
the Dominion Experiment Station at
Kapuskasing, Ontario, are very in-
structive.
Two similar four-year rotations
have been running alongside each
other for thirteen years. Both con-
sist of oats, barley and two years of
mixed hay, One .has not received
ally manure or other fertilizer, while
the other has been given rin applica-
tion of eight tons of manure to the
barley and another of eight tons on
the aftermath of the first year's hay
for the second year of ' hay. From
the information gathered on these ro-
tations during thirteen years, it is
possible to compare khe effect 6f
trianure on barley and hay, and the
residual effect on oats and hay.
A study of the data shows that bar-
ley increased 65 per cent, and hay
126 per cent. in response to direct
applications of manure, while oats in-
creased 60 per cent. and hay 101 per
cent` from residual. effect. that is resi-
dual fertility the year following appli-
cations.
Those comparisons show very clear
ly that the bap crops responded in a
greater degree to manure than did.
the grain crops, and indicate that the
most profltable place for the manure
will be on the bay drop.
Another experiment that has been
running for a shorter time seems to
indicate that commercial fertilizers
will give as good results on grain as
on hay.
lit would appear then that the most-
eatisfa.ctory results will he obtained
from applying the manure on the hay
crop, and the Commercial fe11tilizere
on the grain crops.

Percheron Stallions
Outnumber Clydes
Horse breeding in Ontario bas been
more active in 1938 than in any sea-
son since 1920, according to figures
just released by the Stallion' Enirol-
men.t Board of Ontario. Another in-
teresting feature of the report is that...
for the first time in the history of
the province the number of Percher -
on stallions of€ered for public service
exceeds Clydesdales. Percheron stal-
lions total 640 and Clydes 601.
Middlesex County shows, the : =.t-
est .number of stallions enrolled wit
an even 100 divided as follows: 48
Percherons, 34-Clydes, 4 Belgians, 8
Standard, 6 Thoroughbreds and o
Arab, Dr. W. J. Stevenson, of Lon-
don, owns the only Arab stallion in
Ontario, the report discloses. Huron
County is second in numbers with 72,
Bruce is third with 66, followed by
Perth and Grey Counties with 62 each.
The gradual upswing in horse
breeding in Ontario can be seen by
the increase in the number of stal-
lions enrolled. In 1932 the enrolment
total was 1,013 with 1,166 in 1933;
1,1°9 in 1934; 1,300 in 1935; 1,402 in
1926; 1,506 in 1937, and 1,583 this
year.
The report also states that regular
fall inspection is free to all stallion
owners. The province has been divid-
ed into four sections and stallion
owners are requested to make appli-
cation at once to their local Agricul-
tural Representatives who are ar-
ranging routes in their counties. Reg-
ular inspection is also provided at
Ottawa, the Royal and Guelph Winter
Fairs.
Various breeds are listed as fol-
lows: Percheron, 640; Clydesdale,
601; Belgian, 142; Standard, 106;
Hackney, 34; Thoroughbreds, 27;
Frepch Canadian, 19; German Coach,
6; Suffolk, 4; French Coach, 2; Sad-
dle, 1, and Arab, 1.
It is interesting to note that 352 of
the stallions enrolled carry premium
certificates whereby they qualify for
an annual grant from both Provincial
and Federal Departments of Agricul-
ture, the amount of which will vary
according to tbe number of in foal
mares left by the service of the stal-
lion, and according to the form of
premium certificate the stallion car-
ries.

found to giv.e long, and satisfactory
service. Unfortunately, there a r e
numerous buildings that were cover-
ed with a good quality cedar ebingle
but with which an inferior brand of
shingle nail was used. Consequently,
at the present time, the shingles are
found to be still good, but many of
the nails have rusted through. As a
result, the contents of the buildings
are not safeguarded from the ele-
ments as the shingles are continually
blowing off whenever there is a high
wind.
Ilowever, these roofs can be made
to give many more years service and
the owners saved the expense of new
ones.
To remedy this condition, the roof
must be renailed. Round nails are
referable as they , do not split the
shingles as readily as cut. nails. It is
better if they are galvanized as the
leads are exposed to the 'weather.
Every second row of shingles on the
roof 15 renailed, two nails being used
for the larger shingles and one for
the smaller ones. The nails are driv-
en abont one-half •inch or an inch
from the edges of the shingles and
about half way in the exposed part.
Any shingles that have blown off
the roof can be replaced' when the
nailing is being done. Care should be
taken not to drive the heads of the
nails into tbe shingles as they will
rot more readily if a cavity is made.
A considerable number of farmers
have tried this plan and the results
have been satisfactory. The roofs do
not leak and it will be a number of
years before the shingles begin to de -
ay around the snail .holies. This is
especially true if the nails are gal-
vanized.
Some carpenters maintain £hat, in
some cases; the non -galvanized shin-
gle nails rusted rapidly owing to the
fact that the shingles contained ° a
certain amount of salt. This is said
to be caused by the cedar logs being
floated through salt water,, from the
forests of British Ca ntn$itt, to the
mills.

managing editor eouldn't help fe :
that there was sense in what. he*
saying. But, thought the Menai
editor, he is such a young man,
over three and twenty.
"What I have ve been writing, t
young man was saying, "1101)0 l,
little more than a running con uncut „ tt
to Mr. Seymonr's drawings. It wo
be, much better if you would let; .
think up the ideas and let Mr. Sey-
mour illustrate my telt-"
"But," interrupted the • managing
editor, "that isn't the way those
things are done. Mr. Seymour is ;a
great artist. It is his :name and hie
pictures which sell." He smiled tol-
erantly at the young man. "You are t,
just a beginning writer. You should
be more than content to be allowed
to write these marginal sketches for
such a great artist as Mr. Seymour.
He may be the making of you.".
"Or I of him," the young Paan said
under lis breath. Out loud he said,
"Give me a try, sir. I'm sure I have
some excellent ideas,"
"Very well," the managing editor -,
said' impulsively. "Go ahead."
A few days later he looked upon
e fruits of the young man's efforts:
the first proofs of "Pickwick Papers"
liy i harles Dickens.

"Naething wrang wi' it,"' ans;wered
the fanner. "It's you that doesna'

he Continued, "ye've noething to do
