She lifted jier hand slowly and felt the .man, be- side her.. He *as real then! While Blaze knelt with Mercedes in his arms on the brink 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. Theconcrete was still green. It had 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, sweeping by, caught then up as if they had been marbles and hurled them into the val;ey,` From the bank across the Canon somebody called him. It was Melody; geed old Ms'ledyl "I,tried to save the dant," Mercedes murmured slowly. "Basilio , , . he's down there." "You trailed. Esteban,. eh?" She nodded. "The little chief may, be all right," Blaze lied, wondering holy Esteban could have failed to think of his bra; ther and sister. "The :Witter will' be spread out long before it .gets to`the hacienda." Mercedes' tried to sit up. , "You're not hurt?" Kildare asked. "Just . tired . , . very tired, Blaze. .What will happen to Esteban now?" "Let the others ask that. You keep still," he warned. "Soineone'e.eoming now. It'll be .=ek1in, too:" It was the Big Iloss. Skip. and •0 dozen others wets with him. The -fury of the man suggested the onrush: of the angry 'waters through the gorge. At first he saw only Kildare, "What did it?" he shouted. • "A bomb?" 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 hie ,n'ien and striding to',ve,rd Blaze when he saw Mercedes. • - • "What's she oing here?" be bel- lowed, Without giving, hin time to answer, he yelled: "You ,saw .hers What was she u] 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 nien gathered' close about her, hanging on her words. Acklin telt himself outside the circle of sympathy. He 'turned and .sturnd at the remains of the dam that had been his .life's dream. Sone. one would pay for that! .-The lake was almost. empty. Two men waded their horses across it and circled round until they were up with the others, I't was B"other 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 snt-rled. "She's going to the Bull's Head." The crowd caught the clash of wills. Blaze saw 141elody. They exchanged a glance. "You misunderstood nie slightly." Kildare's tones were tee sweet, too even. "I said that she was : going home," he went on. Acklin should have known • better than to continue, thisa but he was blind with rage over his loss. ,He re- ftsed to be warned, lie raised' his hand to Skip, "Do what 'I, tell you," he cried. 'Take : herto the Bull's Head, I'm still givin' the orders here," He reach- ed for his. revolver.

Tolerance, Most of us aro 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 who loves truth and beauty but knows that any of us may be wrong about what truth and beauty are. lush. a teacher will devolep patience, honor, tolerance in boys and girls, She will give them a better start than most of us got.

"Get. her home then. I'ns telling yeu1 Don't look' anywhere else." Blaze turned to the girl. "You go with ` Melody. He'llget you to the Rancho." The Big Boss hesitated.

Blade came :up at that. Esteban stared at him. "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. B1aze.made a cigaret for him and `Put it in his mouth, By the light of the 'fl'aring 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:" ie turned his eyes on the Big Boss. "I wanted to beat you once—just once; I gags got my wish." Mercedes had done. The „irl's daring won muttered approval from. the men.Acklin walked'back and forth for a minute or two before answering. "You may be right," he growled at last. "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 wall 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 they would do next. Brother Jones spoke to Blaze. Several others joined them. With :.modesty ,:peculiar to men of his type, Blaze said little of his rescue of`Mercedes.' Skip and 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 must 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 otisr 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 Foss de- manded. "I' don't know. He's hidin' between here and the cedars. He's badly wotnded." 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 horses when they neared the trees, the men' spread out and began beating the brush. Moving in ani unbroken line they advanced toward the spot that had been the shore of the lake. . They had come within sight of it without discovering any one when a voice• cried out to them: "Como on! I'm done." i' They saw him then leaning against the trunk of a tree. It was 'Esteban. Acklin recognized him first, "So it's you, eh?" he questioned "I'm not surprised." "I didn't think you would" be," the boy answered with a grin. "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 di] this job. You ain't smart enough." His men fell back as the foreman r,ivanced to Esteban's side. "We got the fi,lloW that "tossed this 'job. Caught shim ever in the hetes, Botdine id he.ntan;"' 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." Casio didn't risk an- other . name. Esteban didn't notice that, His heart sank. Evidently Cash :was not bluffing.

Last 'week such ye - ports became more definite.-- In ane article in the current issue•of "Time,"' the following facts are given:.

After soma hours the cadaver's heart began to: beat feebly. The body developed a slight warmth. The throat gdrgled. The eyelids .fluttered.

Act, no new variety of cereal grain may be put on the'market' in Canada unlit a .license 'has been granted by the federal Minister of Agriculture. The granting of these licenses depends upon ' the results" of actual growing tests made and reported upon by per- sons named under the resolution. According to the present Act, .as re- cently revised, the variety for which a license is being asked must not only prove that it is new and distinctly different from existing varieties and that, the name suggested has not been used previously for any other variety, but that . it possesses merih sufficient to justify its introduction. ti T,lere is so nnueh nastiness in mod- ern literature that . i like . to write stories which contain nothing worse than a little innocent murdering.— Edgar Wallace, Waste wood is used in the malting of: our synthetic foodstuffs, -Dr, Fred- erick Bergius,
