Her ed at Skagway, she chose them on sight as the kind of men she needed, and made them a blind proposition to do a trailing job for her—persist- ing in the intention after they refused, Her account of what followed ex- plained several questions that had puzzled them. She ascribed Owens' death to fear. The drunken rancher had crumpled under Fallon's threat, told everything he knew, and then be- tween fear of judgment and more drink to drown his fear, had drowned himself. With Owens gone, Fallon had tried to hold Pete, believing she might know -more than he had learned from Owens, and realizing that she herself was a very desirable, unclaimed prize. These points Rose conveyed by sug- gestion rather than direct statement, but they were none the less clear. She described the peculiar turn that had thrown Speed and Maitland into a clash of their ownowith Fallon on the trail, allowing Pete to win free over the pass. The first idea she drew from this was that. Pete had taken them in- to her confidence, but—as she now re- minded Wade and the court—if they had been interested in the gold at that time,:, they they would have killed Fal- lon without incurring blame, and with a big saving of trouble to themselves. On their return to Skagway for manding himself and the mute atten- their horses and outfit, she had been tion of the Court. "You'll hear my all the more determined to use them answer now!" he said in a hoarse, because of their feud with Fallon, and rasping shout.

Then, with the river before him and a long shore -line of wharves and docked barges, there is no telling:what the Mounted Police might have had to write on their flawless man -getting record. But the odds were too steep. A gun crashed as his boot touched the sill, and Speed fell backward into the courtroom. For an instant the court stood daz- ed in the swirling smoke. - The bar of the prisoner's dock broke in splinters; Maitland was struggling in the hold of two police guards, to reach his partner. Yet even in that frozen moment the wheel of Justice turned. Judge Dug- as looked down on the fallen outlaw with a curious stillness, and then at Wade, whose response, though no one heard it, was translated. to the police guards. "Release the prisoner." Half -lifting Speed out of a widen- ing pool of blood, Maitland had a blurred awareness of Pete on his oth- er side. The outlaw leaned against their supporting arms, deeply breath- ing the cool breeze from snowy peaks that came through the open window. "A doctor-" Maitland tried to say, but his heart strangled the words in his throat, and tears rained on his partner's reddened shirt. . Speed looked up at him mistily and shook his head. "I don't ask for no better—run of luck than this, Bud. Always figured I'd—fall in. ` some mountain pass alone — and here— He paused at something beyond his power to say. "We both got what we looked for — and more - on'y not where we was lookin'." His eyes rest- ed on the sun -burnished gold of Pete's hair, and strayed back to his partner with a ghost of his old ruminating smile. "Gold is where you find it, like —Steiner said." The strength seemed to' ebb from him; he looked dimly at the wavering pools of light and shadow on the wall, and then in wonder at a bright glory of cloud floating across the far azure glimpse that showed through the win- dow opening. It was as if a mirage had crossed his eyes in their last gleam of life. But some thing of that same ten- acity of will which had held Dalton against the cliff brought him back for a moment, and. Maitland heard him say, as he drifted out on that last trail "Give Rose a hand, Bud—she run a great bluff for ye. Tell her -I was plumb—about women. Tell her—how much—I liked the singin'." THE END. .ALL ,FOOD MADE HER ILL Caused) by Acidity -Corrected by Kruschen "It is only fair to pass these facts on," writes a nurse. "I, was suffering from over-aeidity and flatulence to such an extent that I was com,letely ill. I couldn't take food: When I ac- tually forced myself to take; some- thing, I would be lvretchedly ill, I have now taken Kruschen for 12 months, and I have no doubt that it. has righted my digestive system. I am now quite fit and able towork with vigor again." -Nurse E. S. Indigestion is caused by a failure in the flow of the gastric or digestive juices. As a result, your food, instead of being assimilated by your own sys- tem, simply collects and ferments in- side you, producing harmful acid poisons. The immediate' effect of the six mineral salts in Kruschen is to promote the healthy flow of the vital juices of the body. As you continue with the "little daily dose," it ensures the regular and complete elimination of all waste matter every day, And that means a complete end to indiges- tion.

When a man cooks, if he is unfani- iliar with the usual combinations, he often produces something which is as good as it is different. It was a man who decided that frankfurters and baked beans made: an appetizing and.: hearty meal. The woman of the house repeated the combination, but made' sure that the meal was balanced by adding bran muffins. Both agreed that a mixed green salad or cote slaw was perfect and that if there was en- ough of the salad, no other vegetable was necessary. Nearly everyone has a favorite bran muffin recipe. The following is a bas- ic recipe which has been popular in thousands of homes. Bran Muffins 2 tbsps. shortening 1/.1 cup shortening 1 egg (well beaten) 1 cup sour milk 1 cup prepared bran 1 cup flour 1 tsp. baking powder '/z tsp. soda 1/2 tsp. salt Cream the shortening and sugar; add egg and: sour milk. Add bran and let soak until most of the moisture is taken up.- Sift flour with baking pow- der, soda and salt and add to first mix- ture, stirring only until flour -disap- pears. Fill greased muffin tins two- thirds full and bake in a moderate oven (400° F.) for 20 to 25 minutes. Note.—If sweet milk is used instead of sour milk, omit the % teaspoon of soda and use 3 teaspoons baking pow- der. Raisins or dates may be added if desired. A small slice of apple,, sprin- kled with cinnamon and sugar, placed on top the muffin batter before bak- ing, makes a delicious variation of the recipe. Yield: 8 large or 12 small muf- fins. When it comes to cream or cottage cheese in salad, there are so many possibilities that it is difficult to men- tion them all. Some people forget en- tirely that tomatoes and crearn cheese make a good combination. The cheese can be added to French dressing and served with any kind of green or veg- etable salad. This dressing is also good with fruit salads and gives them a piquant flavor that is sometimes lacking. The subject of food combinations is a big one and discussion might go on and on, Our suggestion to the menu maker who is seeking new ideas and • AVOID TRITE COOKING TOTHCWEST WINNIPEG EDMONTON PACIFI(COAST CANADIAN ROCKIES the Follow the thrilling JASPER PARK route by the "Continental Limited".

CANKER PAINT FOR APPLE TREES Owing to the fact that the feeding of the apple tree pest, the wooly aphis causes numerous cankers in many in- stances upon tendor varieties of the trees, control of the insect is made much more difficult. For heavy in- festations on twigs and water sprouts early in the season, the use of sum- mer sprays will give control, but the cankers themselves into which the sprays cannot reach continue to af- ford a ready source of re -infestation. By the of a suitable canker and wound paint, says the pamphlet on the wooly aphis of the apple, issued by the Dominion Departm:en of Agriculture, Ottawa, it has proven possible to con- trol completely the aphids in pruning wounds and cankers with one paint- ing only made in late May or June, but in any event not later than mid- July. The canker paint is made up as follows: Castor machine oil (heavy grade) 1 quart; Water 3 quarts; Nicotine sul- phate (40 per cent), 8 tablespoons or 4 fluid ounces; Wheat flour (emul- sifier, pound. Mix the flour with boiling water - and stir well for a few minutes to•', form a smooth paste. Pour in the - nicotine' sulphate and again stir, .and: add the oil and shake the mixture thoroughly until a creamy smooth emulsion is formed. The four may be used raw but the resultant emulsion is not so stable. This canker paint should be used within a week or so• after preparation. Cankered trees should have all dead. bark scraped off in the spring and all root suckers cut at the 'same time. Thus, careful painting of all the. can ers and pruning wounds that can be reached from the ground and by climbing into the tree is sufficient to give good control for the whole sea- son.

Professional Directory J. W. BUSHFIELD Barrister, Solicitor, Notary, Etc. Money to Loan. Office Meyer Block, Wingham Successor to Dudley Holmes. By Barbara B. Brooks Combinations of foods are very much like apt phrases which are so good that they are overworked. When we find the same phrase cropping up again and again in talking or writing, we should take warning and express ourselves with more variety or we shall be uninteresting and boring to our friends. This is true about menus. as well. Meals become monotonous if some of our favorite foods are al- ways team-mates, such as lamb and peas, frankfurters and sauerkraut, pear and cream cheese salad, and so on. Of course there are always excep- tions to any rule. Certain things go together so well that we think of them almost as one and have no wish to do anything about separating.them. For most Of us, combinations like biscuits and honey, ham and eggs, liver and bacon, applie pie and cheese, are good even though served very often. Sometimes a variety to keep meals interesting can be secured by chang- ing the recipe for one of the foods in the combination. For instance, you may have a family which expects scal- loped tomatoes whenever there is fish for dinner. We all find cooking more interesting if we can vary atir recipes occasionally and the following one for Scalloped. Tomatoes gives variety with time -saving. The family will like the subtle flavor which the toasted and seasoned cornflakes furnish, Scalloped Tomatoes 11/2 cups corn flakes 2 tablespoons butter (melted) 1 No, 2 can tonratoes H. W.
