He meets Hank Hays at Green River Crossing, who admits to being a robber, working for an Englishman named Herrick, who "has employed a small army of gyustlers.

Herrick and his sister walked to ward Jim's side of the barn, "Good morning," she said. "Ber pie told me how you shot bob--no, jack rabbits--Irom the saddle. 1 want to see you do that. And I want to learn how. Will you show me?" "I'd be pleased, Miss Herrick." "romorrow, then, you will ride with me?" . "I'm at your service." ' ; "wall, you'll oblige me by riding with my sister when it suits her," sald Herrick. . "Yes, sir,' returned Jim, gazing across at the statuelike Hays. The couple moved oft toward the open yard, where mounted cowboys wie leading out saddled. horses. | " "1 geen her, Jim," Hays said, as if the event were epic. "She walked right by me." "What if she did, Hank?" "Nothin'. What was she sayin' to you?" . ' "It seems Merrick told her about my shooting jacks from my horse, and she wants to see it done." "You're goin' ridin' with her? . . . The luck of some men"! "Hank, shall I' tell Herrick you'll "go in my stead?" . "Nix, much ag I'd like to. hit jumpin' rabbits." Hays hung around the barn, most ly idle, watching the valley until the Herricks returned. The cowboys brought the horses down: Whereupon Herrick abruptly left. And he did not come back. From that hour lie be- -came an elusive man, 7 That day ended Jim Wall's carpen- try. On the next he was summoned 1 can't Herficks. Under the stimulation of this girl's ~inspiring presendg Jim gave an ex- hibition of suit Sp accurate shoot- ing that surpassed any he had ever accomplished. - "Marvelous!" she exclaimed. "Helen, he's a bally good shot," de- clared Herrick. - WA That night Hank Hays evinced » Blight but unmistakable symptoms of jealousy, occasioned, perhaps by Jim's report of killing thirteen out of fifteen bounding jack rabbits. Happy Jack, wide-eyed and loud:voiced, ac- claimed Jim's feat as one in a thous- and, "Air you that good frontin' a man who you know is swift?" drawled"the robber chief. * © Jim stared. "Hank, I'm not so good then," he replied, slowly. "Wal, somebody'll try you out one "of these days," added Hays. . "I daresay," he rejoined, coolly, and sought his seclusion. He refused to let that linger in his mind. Something else haunted him. His slumber was troubled. y J } _ Next day Herrick did not accom- pany his sistér on the daily ride, a circnmstance which, if anything, gave freer vein to her spirit. concern for her safety. He could not judge well of her horsemanship, be- cause of the side-saddle she rode. ciqus thing, and said it was worse than the "pancake" her brother rode. But she rode after the hounds just] the same, and held her own until ghe was thrown. If she had fallen upon rocks or.even hard ground she would have been seriously injured, if not killed out- right. But when the horse stumbled _-she hurtled over his head and hit in the sand. Jim was off almost the instant she struck, and he yelled for the cowboys. Kneeling, he lifted her and held her -head up. She appeared to have been ptuinned. Her face was gray with sand, "Water, Barnes," he called, as the. ~ cowboy dashed up. -- » ROBBERS' ROOST . by ZANE GREY Jim had' "There ain't none close," replied Barnes. : 2 "I'm all--right," spoke up Miss Her- rick, weakly.

Her hair had come partly loose to fall in a golden mags on her shoulder, She rearrang- «d it and put on her hat, deftly despite gloved fingers, : "Help me up, please," she said, .

"Miss Herrick, are you sure you're not hurt?" asked. Jim, solicituously. "It was a nasty spill." i "I'm not really hurt," and letting go of Jim she essayed a few steps to prove it. . Then something cold and tight with- in Jim let go, and his reaction was to take refuge in anger: "Miss Her- rick, I told you that saddle was no good. It's a wonder you were not killed." . . "Oh, don't exaggerate. I've come many croppers cross-country riding at home." "Barnes, back me up in this," ap- pealed Jim to the cowboy. ~ 'Miss, he's tellin' you true," said I'Barnes, earnestly. "You was ridin' fast. If this hyar had been stony ground, like it is lots of places, you'd never knowed what hit you." Ld "I believe I did strike pretty hard," she admitted, ruefully. "You want a cow-saddle, with a double cineh, and overalls," conclud- ed Jim. t : "Overalls!" she exclaimed, and she blushed rosy red. "You mean like these blue trousers Barnes has on?" "Yes. 'Then-you can ride. This is the West, Miss: Herrick. You like to run a horse. It's dangerous. I shall have to speak to your brother." "Don't. I've never ridden astride, but I'll .do 'it, since you are so very faarful About Hor ttre rd ilfin crimes 2 That experience left Jim shaky, pro- bably a good deal shakier than. it had left Miss Herrick. Dut it was not fear for her. Jim reveled in the torturing sensations engendered by contact with this beautiful girl.. He shook like a leaf at the staggering realization that when she lay on the ground with her arms spread wide, her hair gold against the sand, he longed to snatch her to his breast. A natural impulse, under the circum- stances, but for him --. idiotic! © Hays was not present that night at supper. Hig absence in no way con- cerned Jim, He was too preoccupied to care or think about the: chiet. Days passed by, heady or blank, according to whether or not he rode with Miss Herrjck. a She took to tha Western saddle, like a duck to water. She could.ride. More- over, that spirit of which she had hinted certainly overtook her, More ' like the wind; and upon one of these occasions it took the cowboys till dark to find her. That with Hank Hayes] and Heesemen there to see her gallop away unescorted! Herrick dig not seem to mind. ed. however, these rides with her centred upon the love which had come to consume him; and the several she cause they aroused fear of Hank 'Hays... It could not be ascertained whether. or not Hays followed her, but when the day came that Jim discov- ered Hays had been riding the. trails time to act. This placed Jim in a worse quand- ary. To act, for a man of his training at such a time and place, was to do only one thing. But how could-he kill his leader upon mere suspicion of sin- ister intent to kidnap the girl? It was a predicament for a man who had always played fair, alike to honest friend and crooked ally. Jim paced under hik dark sheltering trees, in the dead of night, when he should have been sleeping, Days had passed without his once seeking fo avoid disaster; and he had not sought because he knew it was of no uae, To wish to be with this blond gin} seemed irresistible. More than once he had caught himself in the spell of a daring impulse--to tell Miss Herrick that he loved her. The idea was sheer madness, Yet the thought persisted, and when he tried to shake it the re- sult was it grew stronger in a haunt- ing, maddening way, ' At breakfast next morning Hays raved about the fact that Smoky had not been there for over two weeks, "Things alr comin' to a head," he congluded, gloomily.

The sunny hours with the sage flat ahead, the fragrant pines, the baying hounds, and always out in front this bright-haired girl, were vastly differ- ent from the dark hours when the day was done. Nothing could be' truer than that this utterly .incongrous and bitterly sweet situation could not last. In the moment of humility, engendered by the higher emotions this girl arous- ed, Jim clasped to his breast the fact that he was protecting her from worse Mien, Barnes and another of the cowboys had taken the horses for the Her- ricks up to the house. To Jim's honest dismay he espied Helen riding ahead, with the cowboys behind leadtug her brother's mount. Herrick was.not com- ing. The hounds bounded and cavort- ed about 'her, keen for the chase, Miss Herrick looked far less proud and unattainable in the boy's riding garb she had adopted. Moreover, it had transformed her, yet her femin- inity appeared more provokingly mani- fest than ever.

On the reproductions, valleys, roads and 'rivers---in the foréground. were not easily distinguishable,"but towns and tance were quite clear. Such photos c 4 were made possible only through the use of the infra-red ray which can 'penetrate vapor and fog, Until about a decade ago, it had been generally assumed that for photography "light." that is, rays visible to the human eye, were essential. Then, researchers starting from the assumption that for a photographic' plate other conditions may apply, began experimenting with both the visible and invisible rays which constitute what -is generally celled light. The infra-red rays, that is, rays which according to the spec- |. troscope have a greater wavelength than 760 millionths of a millimeter, yieldéd encouraging results. By us- ig 'a special emulsion the photo- 'graphic plate was made sensitive enough to register a ray of an 800 millionth of a millimeter. There ap- photography for registration pur- poses. In the future the "visible" and "invisible" will have no control over its activities, .By, the use of such rays, the diary of Andree, the North Pole explorer, was deciphered after it had 'become a mere welter of decom- posed cloth and earth, resulting from long exposure: to extreme weather conditions." : PIANO HISTORY. By the recent throwing open to the public of the Neupert Museum of Mu- sical History in Nuremberg, the visi- tor to Bavaria will henceforth be able to see what is generally regarded as the largest private collection of" in- struments illustrating the origin and development of the modern piano. Examples from every stage in the 'history of stringed instruments whose sound is produced by percussion ap- pear to have been assembled, in orig- ed Bavarian piano-making family. Here one may follow through the de- velopment of the Greek harp, the psaltery 'and dulcimer, and among a number of clavichords, harpsichords, spinets and virginals to the instru- ment of today. Among the specimens of outstanding individual interest are the "clavichord of Johann Sebastian Bach, to which he wrote his "Well- tempered Clavichord," preludes. and fugues, and some valuable sixteenth and seventeenth century instruments from the Netherlands and Venice. The art of Streicher, who built the piano on which Beethoven composed some of his best work, is also well repre- sented at this museum. AIR TRAVEL SPEEDED UP. With the introduction of summer- time time-tables on May b, two im- portant improvements were made by the traffic authorities. .By agreement between the German and English air companies, London and Berlin were brought into closer connection than probably existed between this city and some of its near neighboring towns a century ago. The London business man. can now leave at 7 a.m, arrive here at 11:65 a.m., do four hours' business, and be back in London at 9.20 p.m. the same day, having been away less than 14% hours. Such a development 'is possible not only be- cause of the high speed of the planes used, but also, since the Berlin air- drome (Tempelhof) is so near to the so often wasted between hotel and air- port, i8 here saved. ' be the fastest train in the world, also began regular services on May 15. It is reported to be able to do the 178.2 miles between Berlin and Hamburg in 2 hours and 18 minutes; thus making an average speed of 77.46 miles per hour. Regular express trains between these two tities have also been speed- ed up to more than 60 miles per hour, with the introduction of new special four-cylinder superheated steam loco- motives with a speed capacity of over 93 miles an hour on straight rung. CANNED FOODS PUT TO TEST. An' interesting experiment was carried out in connection with the German . Agricultural Exhibition in May. 'One hundred and seventy cases of foodstuffs, mainly canned, and of the kind intended for use on board ship or in very hot climates, were sent on a long voyage from Hamburg vie Cape Town and Portuguese East Africa back to Berlin; in order to test their resistance to heat and weather generally, These cases, which belong- ed to 110 different firms, though trav- cargo, were not given specially across the equator they were-ex to excessive heat. Special prizes were given by the exhibition in Berlin for those which servived best.

From all the Information we can gather there is a fairly heavy crop of lambs this year and methods 'of marketing likely to be somewhat different due té the fact that Abattoir Companies have decided to cold storage and maintain a greater quota of fresh lambs the year through, 80 as to meet the requirements of the consumer. : During"the last few years the quality. of lambs have shown a decided Imprévement, and by doing so you have done much to stimulate greater con- sumption, hence demand, for 'greater volume. This has been accomplished by better breeding, better feeding and castration of buck lambs, Light thin lambs do not produce good quality of lamb meat, Heavy lambs are also undesirable for-the market, but good fat lambs ylelding a dressed carcass of thirty-five to forty-five pounds are desirable and will command top prices, or in other words well finished lambs weighing 70 to 90 Ibs. live weight at the market are desirable.
