"'Seed and Feed" the Slogan of
the Year.
The papers arc filled with the appeal
:for soldiers, sailors und farmers, niul
all are timely, nil are necessary. The
sailor Is needed to man the ships that
protect the shores, police the seas and
clear the ocean of tormenting and
meddlesome masked buccaneers, to
Jve help to the allies, to make moro
efficient the present fighting units that
jire keeping free the sea lanes nnd
ocean routes. The soldier is required
to keep alive and Intact the unity of
the nation nnd the freedom of the
world, to protect the lives of Its citi
zens from Incursions without and raids
within, to guard the honor and pre
serve the dignity of the great United
"States, to render not only sentimental
bnt practical assistance to those who
for twd nnd a half years on the bat
tlefields of Flanders and the steppes
of the East hnve been fighting for tho
freedom of the world against a domi
nant autocratic nnd militarist Prus
nlnnlsm, which, were it to become suc
cessful, would mean autoerotism, mil
itarism and Prusslanlsm, nnd a "gct-off-thc-sldownlkism"
over tho cntlro
world. The nllles are proud to wel
come these new accessions to tho fight
ing forces, which mean nn earlier ter
mination of the war nnd the dnwn of
nn cm that will be historic, ono
thnt we will nil be proud that wo lived
in. Throughout all Canada, Great
lirltnln, France, nnd nil the allied coun
tries, when the news was received that
the United States iind entered the wnr,
m thrill went up and down the nation's
'Bides, nnd tho pulses throbbed with n
ncw life, keenly appreciative of the
practical sentiment t lint had brought
to their sides nn ally of tho strength
Jind virility of the United Stntcs.
But the jsohllor nnd tho sailor need
to bo fed, and thereforo the cry for
agricultural enlistment. The strength
-of tho lighting man must bo main
tained. In his absence from the field
there comes tho necessity for provision
to toko his place. Tho appeal for farm
help Is well timed, opportune nnd Im
portant. There nro vacant lands n
Tlenty In the United Stntes that, given
n fair opportunity under competent nd
vlsemcnt nnd rensonablo help, will pro
duco abundantly. Western Canada
nlfjo provides an excellent field for tho
prosecution of work In growing wheat
and other grains, nnd whllo it Is not
the desire of tho Canadian Gpvcrnment
to draw from tho resources of the
United States, believing that it is tho
4luty of every pntrlotlc citizen to do
nil ho possibly can to build up tho
fltores of depleted foods nnd making
use of every energy at home, tho wish
Is to lay before the public tho fact
that Canada has millions of acres of

THE RANGER SHOWS WHAT
WHEN PROVOKED
Mrs. Alalro Austin, a handsomo young mntron, gets lost in tho
Texas desert and after an all-day struggle wanders into the llttlo
camp of David Law, n ranger officer, hunting a Mexican murderer.
Circumstances force her to stay thcro overnight. Sho finds tho rang
er nn Interesting chaructcr.
CHAPTER II Continued.

"Bloodhounds nln't any good, outsldo
of novels. If beef got senrco, them
Greasers would steal the dogs and cat
'em." no added, meditatively, "Dog
nln't such bad catln cither."
"Ilavo you tried it?"
Mr. Law nodded.
"Did you Join the Mnderlstas for ex
citement?" "Mostly. Then, too, I believed Pnn
chlto Madcro was honest nnd would
glvo tho peons lnnd. An honest Mexi
can 1b worth flghtln' for, nnywherc.
The pclndos aro still struggling for
their landfor that nnd a chanco to
live and work nnd bo happy."
Mrs. Austin stirred impatiently.
"They aro fighting because they aro
told to fight. Thcro Is no patriotism
in them," said she.
"I think," ho said, with grave dcllb
oratcness, "tho majority feel something
big and vnguo and powerful stirring
Insldo them. They don't know exactly
what it is, perhaps, but it Is there.
Mexico has outgrown her dictators.
They havo been overthrown by tho
samo causes that brought on tho
French Revolution."
"Tho French Devolution 1" Alalro
leaned forward, eying the speaker with
startled Intensity. "What do you know
about the French Revolution?"
Reaching for a coal, tho Ranger
spoko without facing her. "I'vo read a
good bit, ma'am, and I'm a" noble
listener. I remember good, too. Why, I
hnd a picture of tho Bastlllo once."
IIu pronounced It "Bnstllly," and his
hearer settled back. "That was some
calaboose, now, wasn't It?" A moment
later ho Inquired, Ingenuously, "I don't
supposo you ever saw that Bastille,
did you?"
"No. Only the plnco where It stood."
"Sho' I You must havo traveled right
smart for such a young lady." lie
beamed amiably upon her.
Thero was something winning about
this young man's modesty, nnd some
thing nattering In his respectful admi
ration. IIo seemed, nlso, to know his
place, a fact which was even more in
his favor. Undoubtedly ho had forco
and ability; probably his lovo of nd
venturo and n happy lack of settled
purposo had led him to neglect his
moro commonplnco opportunities nnd
sent him Into tho Ranger service. This
man had been denied what sho termed
educntlon; thereforo sho decided to
put ono In his way.
"Do you like to read?" sho asked
him.
"Sayl It's my favorlto form of ex
ercise." Law's bluo-grny eyes wero ex
pressionless, his face was bland.
"Why?"
"I havo a great many books at Las
Palmas. You might enjoy soma of
them."
"Now thnt's nlco of you, ma'am.
Mebbo I'll look Into this cattlo-stealln
In your neighborhood, and if I do I'll
sura como borrowln'."
"Oh, I'll send you n boxful when I
got back," snld Alalro, and Davo
thanked her humbly.
Later, when ho went to move his
maro Into a shady spot, the Ranger
chuckled nnd Mapped his thigh with
his lint. "Bessio Belle, we'ro going to
lmprovo our minds," ho snld nloud.
"Wo'ro going to bo literary and read
'Pilgrim's Progress' and 'Allco in
Wonderland.' I bet wo'll enjoy 'em,
eh? But doggonol She's n nlco lady,
and your cont is Just tho samo color
ns her hair."
, Whero tho shado wns densest and
mo brcezo played most freely, thero
Davo fixed a comfortablo couch for his
guest, and during tho heat of tho fore
noon sho dozed. But one ennnot sleep
well with n tropic sun In tho heavens,
nnd slnco thero wns really nothing for
her to do until the heat abated, Alalro,
when sho nwoke, obliged tho Ranger
to amuse her.
As tho morning progressed Law
proved hlmsolf nn Interesting compan
ion, nnd in splto of tho discomforts of
tho situation tho hours slipped rap
idly. Luncheon was n dlsngreenble
meal, eaten while tho urroyo baked
and tho hent devils danced on tho
hills; but tho unpleasantness was of
brief duration, and Ltrtv always man
aged to banish boredom. Nor did ho
oem to waste a thought upon tho na
ture of that grim business which
brought him to this place. Quito tho
contrary, in tho afternoon ho put his
maro through her .tricks for Alalro's
edification, and gossiped Idly of what
ever Interested Ills guest.
Then as the sun edged to tho west
una Mrs. Austin boenmo restless, ho
middled BeMo Hello and led her down

TO VIOLENT ACTION
of tho camp. IIo watered tho ashes of
tho fire, gathered up tho telltale Bcraps
of paper and fragments of food, nnd
then when tho plnco suited him fell to
oxnmlnlng his rifle.
Alnlro watched him with interest
"Whero shall I go," sho asked, "nnd
what shall I do?"
"You Just pick out a good cover be
yond the wnter hole nnd stny thero,
mu'nm. It mny bo a long wnlt, for
something muy havo happened. If so,
wo'll havo to IIo close. And don't wor
ry yourself none, ma'am; ho won't
mako no trouble."
With tho sunset tho water holo lay
Bleeping.
Alalro's retreat was far from com
fortable ; thero was an ants' nest some
where near her and sho thought of
moving; but suddenly her breath
caught and her henrt Jumped uncon
trollably. Sho crouched lower, for di
rectly opposlto her position, and out
lined against tho sky whero tho sharp
rldgo cut It, was tho figure of a
mounted man. Sho wns conscious thnt
n keen nnd hostile pair of eyes was
searching tho coverts surrounding tho
chnrco.
Then, n3 silently as It had appeared,
tho apparition vanished beyond tho
ridge. Alnlro lay close, as sho had
been directed, praying that the horse
man had been wnrned; but shortly sho
henrd again the rustle of stiff
branches, and out Into tho opening rodo
n Mexican. IIo was astride a wiry
gray pony, nnd In tho strong twilight
Alalro could sco his every feature tho
swarthy cheeks, tho roving eyes bc
ncnth tho black felt hat. A carblno
lay across his saddle horn, a lariat
was colled beside his leg, a cartrldgo
"Oloal Hands Up, Both of You!"
belt circled his waist. Thero was
something familiar about tho fellow,
but at tho moment Alalro could not
determine what It was.
After ono swift, appraising glnnco
tho newcomer rodo straight to tho
vergo of tho water holo nnd dismount
ed; then he and his horso drank sldo
by slde.
It wns tho moment for a conipleto
and effcctlvo surprise, but nothing
happened. Why didn't Law net? Alnlro
bent low, straining eyes und ears, but
no commnnd como from the Ranger.
Then, ns If In answer to her perplex
ity, n second horseman appeared, and
tho woman realized how simply sho
had been fooled.
CHAPTER III.
What Happened at tho Water Hole.
Tho newcomers exchanged a word
or two In Spanish, then tho second
rider flung himself from his snddlo and
mado for tho water. IIo was lying
prono nnd drluklng deeply when out of
nowhere cumo n sharp command.
"Olgnl Hands up, both of youl"
Tho first nrrlval Jumped as if a rnt
tlcsnnko hnd buzzed tit his hack, tho
bocond leaped to his feet with tin oath.
"Drop your gun, coinpanero !"
Both Mexicans cried, as If at u cue,
"Who speaks?"
"A Ranger."
Tho fellow Law had addressed let
fall his rllle; two pairs of dark hands
roso blowly, Then the Ranger went on
tin Spnnlsh:
I "Auto lrwer your left hand and un
JX.
fc
5
buckle your belt." Anto did ns ho
wns told, his revolver and cartridge
belt dropped to tho ground. "And you,
compadre, do tho same. Mind you,
the left handl Now face about and
walk to tho charco, both of you.
Good 1"
Law stepped Into view, his Winches
ter in the crook of his nrm. Ho emptied
tho three discarded weapons, then,
wnlklng to Anto'o horso, ho removed
tho second carblno from beneath the
saddle-flap and ejected its shells Into
his palm.
This done, ho nddressed tho stranger.
"Now, friend, who nro you, and why
are" you riding with this fellow?"
"My namo is Panfllo Sanchez, senor.
Before God, I havo done nothing." Tho
speaker was tremendously excited. In
tho midst ofhis incoherent protesta
tions Mrs. Austin nppenrcd.
"Ho is telling you tho truth, Mr.
Law," sho said, quietly. "He is one of
my men."
Both Mexicans looked blank. At
sight of tho spenkcr their mouths fell
open, nnd Panfilo ceased his gesticula
tion. Mrs. Austin went on: "lie is my
horse-breaker's cousin. He couldn't
havo had any part In that murder in
Jim Wells county, for ho was at Las
Palmas when I left."
Panfllo recovered from his amaze
ment, removed his sombrero, and
blessed his employer extravagantly;
then he turned triumphantly upon his
captor. "Behold I" cried he. "There
you have tho truth. I am an excellent,
hard-working man nnd ns honest as
God."
"Surely you don't want him," Alalro
appealed to Lnw. "Ho was probably
helping his countryman to escape but
they all do that, you know."
"All right I If he's your man, that's
enough," "Davo told her. "Now then,
boys, It will soon bo dark and wo'll
need some supper before wo start. It
won't hurt Anto's horso to rest a bit,
cither. You are under arrest," ho ndd
cd, addressing tho latter. "I won't tie
you unless "
"No, senor 1" Anto understood per
fectly, nnd wns grnteful.
"Well, then, build a fire, and you,
Panfllo, lend n hnnd. The senora will
need a cup of ten, for wo three have
n long rldo nhend of us."
No time wns lost. Both Mexicans
fell to with a will, and In n surprising
ly short time water was boiling. When
It came Law's turn to eat, Alalro, who
wns cnger to bo gone, directed her em
ployeo to fetch tho ranger's horse. Pan
fllo acquiesced readily and buckled on
his cartridge belt and six-shooter. He
wns nbout to pick up his rifle, too, but
flndlng Law's eyes inquiringly fixed up
on him, ho turned with n shrug and
disappeared down tho nrroyo. It was
plain that ho considered his friendly
relations well established and resented
tho rnnger's suspicion.
"How long has that fellow been
working for you?" Law Jerked his head
in tho direction Panfilo had taken.
"Not long. I don't know much
nbout him," Alalro confessed. Then,
ns if In nnswer to his unspoken ques
tion, "But I'm suro ho's nil right."
"Is ho looking up range for you?"
"N noi I left him nt tho ranch. I
don't know how he enmo to be here,
unless It Is rather strange !"
Davo shot a swift, lnterrogntory
glanco nt Panfllo's traveling compan
ion, but Anto's face was stony, his
black eyes wore fixed upon the fire.
With an abrupt gesture Law flung
aside tho contents of hts cup nnd strode
to Pnnfllo's horso, which stood deject
edly with reins hnnglng.
"Whero nro you going?" Alnlro roso
nervously.
It wns nearly dark now; only tho
crest of tho ridges were plain against
tho luminous sky; In tho brushy bot
tom of tho nrroyo tho shndows wero
deep. Alalro had no wish to bo loft
nlono with tho prisoner.
With biidlo rein nnd carblno In his
left hnnd, the rnnger halted, then,
stooping for Anto's dlscnrded cartridge
belt, ho looped It over his saddle-horn.
IIo vaulted easily Into tho &eat, say
ing: "I hid that maro pretty well. Your
mnn may not bo nblo to find her." Then
ho turned his borrowed horse's head
townrd tho brush.
Anto hnd squatted motionless until
this moment; ho had not even turned
his eyes; but now, without tho slight
est warning, ho uttered n loud call.
It might havo served equally well as a
summons or ns nn nlarra, but It
changed tho ranger's suspicions Into
certainty. Dnvo uttered an angry e.
clnmatlon, then to tho startled woman
ho cried :
"Watch this mnn I IIo enn't hurt
you, for I've got his shells." To his
prisoner ho said, sharply: "Stay whero
you aro I Don't move I" The next In
stant ho hnd loped Into tho brush on
tho tracks of Panfllo Sanchez, spurring
tho tired gray pony Into vigorous no
tion. It was an uncomfortnblo situation in
which Alalro now found herself. Low
was too suspicious, she murmured to
herself; he wns needlessly molodra
mntlc; she felt exceedingly HI nt enso
ns tho pony's hoof-bents grew fainter.
Sho was startled by hearing other hoof-
SUNSET
bents now; their drumming enrao fnlnt
but unmistakable. Yes, there wero two
horses racing down the urroyo. Anto,
the fugitive, roso to his feel and stared
Into the dusk.
"Sit down I" "Alnlre ordered, sharp
ly. He obeyed, muttering benenth his
breath, but his head was turned as If
In an effort to follow the sounds of the
pursuit.
Next came tho distant rattle of
loosened stones evidently one horse
was being urged townrd the open high
ground then the penccful quiet eve
ning wns split by the report of Law's
thirty-thirty. Another shot followed,
nnd then a third. Both Alalro and her
prisoner were on their feet, the woman
shaking In every limb, the Mexican
straining his eyes into the gloom and
listening intently.
Alalre had begun to feel the strain of
tho situation nnd was trying to decide
what next to do, when David Law
came riding out of the twilight Ho
was astrldo tho gray; behind him nt
tho end of a lariat was Bessie Belle!
and her saddle was empty.
Mrs. Austin uttered a sharp cry.
Law dismounted nnd strode to the
prisoner. His face was black with
fury; ho seemed gigantic In his rage.
Without a word he raised his right
hand nnd cuffed the Mexican to his
knees. Then he leaped upon him, as
a dog might pounce upon a rabbit,
rolled him to hla face, and twisted the
fellow's arm Into the small of his back.
Anto, cursed, ho struggled, but he was
Hko a child in the ranger's grasp. Law
knelt upon him, nnd with n Jerk of his
rlata secured tho fellow's wrists; ris
ing, he set the knot with another heave
thut dragged the prisoner to his knees.
Next ho booted Anto to his feet.
"I've a notion to bend a gun over
your head," Law growled. "Clever lit
tle game, wasn't It?"
"Where? Did you kill him?" the
woman gasped.
Alalro had never behold such a
demoniac expression as Law turned
upon her. Tho man's face was con
torted, his eyes wero blazing insanely,
his chest was heaving, nnd for un in
stnnt ho seemed fo include her in hla
nnger. Ignoring her inquiry, ho went
to his maro nnd ran his slinking hands
over her as if in search of an injury;
his questioning palms covered every
Inch of glistening hide from forelock
to withers, from shoulder to hoof, and
under cover of this task he regained in
some degree his self-control.
"That hombro of yours didn't look
right to me," he said, Anally. Laying
his cheek against Bessio Belle's neck,
as a woman snuggles close to tho man
of her choice, he addressed tho mare:
"I reckon nobody is going to steal you,
eh? Not if I know it. No, sir; that
hombro wasn't any good, wns ho?"
Alalro wet her lips. "Then you
shot him?"
"I didn't say I shot him," ho told her,
gruffly. "I warned him first, and he
turned on me blew smoke In ray face.
Then ho took to the brush, afoot, and
I cut down on him once more to hejp
him along."
"He got away?"
"I reckon so."
"Oh, oh!" Alnlre's tone left no
doubt or her relief. "Ho wns always a
good man "
"Good? Didn't he steal my horse?
Didn't he aim to get mo nt tho first
chance nnd freo his compadre? That's
why he wanted his Winchester. Say!
I reckon he needs klllln nbout n
much as anybody I know."
"I can't understand it." Alnlre sat
down weakly. "One of my men, too."
"This fellow behnved himself while I
wns gone, eh?" Law Jerked his head
In Anto's direction. "I was nfrnld ho
ho'd try something. If ho had"
Such a possibility, oddly enough,
seemed to choko tho speaker, and the:
ferocity of his unfinished threat caused
Mrs. Austin to look up at him curious
ly. There was a moment of silence,
then ho snld, shortly: "Well, wo'vo
got a horse apiece now. Let's go."
The stars had thickened nnd bright
ened, rounding the night sky into a
glittering dome. Anto, the murderer,
with his nnkles lashed beneath his
horse's belly, rode first; next, In a sul
len silence, came the ranger, his chin
upon his breast; and in tho rear fol
lowed Alalre Austin.
Under tho stnrs, at the break of tho
nrroyo, three hundred yards below tho
water hole, a coyote was slinking In a
wldo circle nround tho body of Panfllo
Sanchez.
David Law's action in killing
the Mexican has a moro slgnlfl
cant effect on the ranger's career
and on that of Mrs. Austin than
either of them can possibly fore
see. Read the next Installment.

NEW EXPLOSIVE BEING USED
Rcschambolite, Introduced by French
on Western Front, Has Terrible
Effect on Enemy.
Itochnmbollto is a new and tcrrlblo
explosive thnt lins recently been Intro
duced on the western front by tho
French and employed In the defense of
Verdun, says tho Argonaut. The ex
plosive, when tested In action at Ver
dun, wns found to possess n most ter
rible nnd demoralizing effect upon tho
Germans.
The explosive Is a powder which,
upon ignition, changes into n molten
metal and a very large volume of gas
in nn infinitely small space of time.
This sudden, change in volume and
the terrific heat which is generated
cause on Immense pressure on tho
walls of tho vessel that contains it,
shattering the walls and hurling tho
molten metal and wall fragments la
all directions, spreading death and de
struction In their path.
The effect of this molten metal on
tho Germans can hardly be Imagined.
Pieces of metal upon striking them im
mediately burn their way deep Into
the flesh, even to tho bone, cnuslng
Intense pnln nnd suffering to the vic
tim. So deadly nnd so demoralizing
have tho French found this explosive
to be that they aro now utilizing It on
tho entire front.
Dogs and the Dye-Pot.
The Chinese sleeve dogs, called Pe
kinese, are so fashionable nowa
days and fetch such high prices that
breeders of them are making n lot
of money In tho business. Also deal
ers. Unfortunntcly the dealers aro not
always honest, and It Is just ns well
to avoid buying such dogs from street
venders and other nonresponsiblo per
sons. The nultnals may not be ex
actly what they seem.
The color specially desired for a
Pekinese Is a delicate shado of brown.
Dogs of this kind are of various hues;
but an unscrupulous dealer finds no
serious difficulty In making them
brown, to match any shade. lie simply,
dips doggy Into a pall of hydrogen per
oxide a few times until his coat la
well bleached and then dyes him, by,
like means, of the fashionable tint.
Natural Elation.
Why tho ecstatic frame of mlndV
asked the man he met ns he stepped
off the car. "You seem supremely
happy. Ilns the beauty of spring got
Into your blood; has a rich uncta
died nnd left you n million ; havo you
a new baby in tho family, or has the
boss raised your salary?"
"None of thoso things," answered
tho mnn who had the grin, "but somd
thing almost ns nice. The conductor
didn't take up ray fare."
Seeking a Divorce.
"On what grounds do you seek n dl
vorce, madam?"
"Incompatnbllity. I wnnt a divorce,
