DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD; DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA. fc"nifliif AHftiMiftflimwirfTfcWiiwnaBp HEART OF THE SUNSET By REX BEACH Author of " The Spoilen," " The Iron Trail. " "The Slider Horde, " Etc Oopjrlgbt by Uarpvr & Brother! CHAPTER XVIII Continued. 18 Ycnrs of experience hud taught him to be nlwnys alert, even during hla mo ments of deepest preoccupation, nnd ho, from force of hnblt, when lie enmo to the pumphousc road lie carefully Bcanned It. In the dust were fresh hoof-prlnts leading townrd tho river. Now he knew this rood to ho seldom used, nnd thercforo ho wondered who could ho riding It at n gallop In this blistering midday heat. A few rods fnrthcr on nnd his quick eye detected something else some' tiny object that brought him from his saddle. Out of the rut ho picked a cigarette butt, tho fire of which was cold hut tho paper of which was still wet from thu smoker's lips. lie examined it carefully; then ho remounted and rode on, pondering Its slgnlilcancc. Dave loped out of tho thicket nnd straight across the clenrlng to tho Morales house. Leaving Montrosn's reins hanging, ho opened tho door nnd entered without knocking. Ilosa ap peared In tho opening to nnother room, her eyes wide with fright at this nn parltlon, nnd Dnvc saw that she was dressed In her finest, as if for n holiday or for a Journey. "Where's your father?" ho demanded. "He's gone to Sangro do Cristo. What do you want?" "When did he go?" "This morning, early. lie " "Who's been here since ho loft?" Itosn was recovering from her first surprise, and now her blnck brows drew together In nnger. "No ono hns come. You are tho first. And have you no manners to strldo into a re spectable house ?" Duvo broke In harshly: "Rosa, you'ro lying. Joso Sanchez hns been hero within nn hour. Where is ho?" When tho girl only grew whiter and raised n hand to her breast, he stepped toward her, crying, "Answer me I" Bosn recoiled, nnd the breath caught In her throat like n sob. "I'll tell you nothing," sho said in a thin voice. Then sho began to tremble. "Why do you want Joso?" "You know why. IIo killed Don Kduardo, and then ho rode here. Comol I know everything." "Lies I Lies I" Rosa's voice grow shrill. "Out of this house! I know you. It was you who betrayed Panfllo, nnd Ills blood is on your hands, as sassin I" With tho Inst word sho niado ns if to retrout, but Dnve was too iuick; ho seized her, and for nn in stant they struggled brenthlessly. Dave hnd reasoned beforehand that Ids only chnnco of discovering uny thing from this girl lay in utterly ter rorizing her and In profiting by her first panic; therefore ho pressed his 'advantage. lie succeeded better tlinn lie had dared to hope. "You know who killed Senor Ed," ho crlod, fiercely. "The fortune-teller rend your plans, and thero Is no uso to deny it," Rosa screamed again; she writhed; she tried to sink her teeth into her cap tor'n llcsh. In her body was tho strength of a full-grown man, and Dave could hardly hold her. Hut suddenly, an the two sen Mod, from the back room of the house came n sound which caused Dave to release the girl as ab ruptly ns ho hnd seized her it was the clink and tinkle of Muxlcnu spurs upon a vooden Moor. CHAPTER XIX. The Water-Cure. Without an Instant's hesitation Dave flung himself past Rosa and through tho inner door. Joso Sanchez met him with n shout ; tho shock of their collision overbore tho lighter mun, nnd tho two went down together, nrms nnd legs inter twined. Tho horse-breaker fired his revolver blindly a deafening explo sion insldo thoso four walls but he was powerless ngnlnst his nntngonlst's (strength nnd ferocity. It required but a moment for Lnw to master him, to wrench the wenpon from his grasp, nnd then, with tho aid of Jose's silk neck scarf, to bind his wrists tightly. From the front of tho Httlo house camo the crash of a door violently slammed ns Rosn profited by the diver sion to snvo herself. When flnalty Joso stood, panting and snarling, his back to tho wall, Dave re garded him with n sinister contraction of tho lips thnt was almont a grin. "Well," ho said, drawing a deep breath, "I see you didn't go to tho east pasture this morning." "Whnt do you want of me?" Jose managed to gasp. Thero was n somewhnt prolonged silence, during which Davo continued to stnro nt Ins prisoner with that same disquieting expression. "Why did you 1:111 Don Edunrdo?" ho nsked. "I? Bnhi Who says I killed him?" Joso glared defiance, "Why nro you looking nt mo? Comol Tako mo to Jail, if you think that will do any good." ItB lucky I rodo to Las Palmns this wornios; In nuother hour you would have been across tho Rio Grande with Rosa and all hef fine clothes, eh? Now you will be hanged. Well, that is how fortune goes." The horsc-brenker tossed his liend and shrugged with n bravo assumption of Indifference; he lnughcd shortly. "You can prove nothing." "Yes," continued Dave, "nnd Rosa will go to prison, too. Now suppose I should let you go? Would you help me? In ten minutes you could bo safe." IIo inclined his head townrd tho muddy, silent river outside. "Would you bo willing to help me?" Jose's brows lifted. "What's this you arc saying?" he Inquired, eagerly. "I would only nsk you u few ques tions." "Whnt questions?" "Where Is Scnorn Austin?" Jose's face became blank. "I don't know." t , "Oh yes, you do. Sho started for La Ferln. Hut did sho get there? Or did Longorlo have other plans for her? You'd better tell me tho truth, for your general can't help you now." Dnvo did his best to read the Mcxlcnn's ex pression, hut fnlled. "Senor Ed's death means nothing to mo," ho went on, "but I must know where his wlfo is. nnd I'm willing to pay, with your lib erty." In spite of himself his anxiety was plain. i Jose exclaimed: "IIo! I under stand. IIo was In your way nnd you'ro glad to ho rid of him. Well, wo have no business fighting with each other." "Will you tell me?" "I'll tell you nothing, for I know nothing." "Come 1 I must know." Joso laughed insolently. Law's face became black with sud den fury. Ills teetli bared themselves, lie took u step forward, crying: "By heaven 1 You will toll mo I" Seizing lils prisoner by tho thront, ho pinned him to tho wall ; then with his free hand ho cocked Longorlo's re volver nnd thrust its muzzle ngalnst Jose's body. "Tell mel" he repeated. Ills countennnco was so distorted, his expression so manlncnl, that Jose felt his hour hnd come. The latter, being In all ways Mexican, did not struggle; Instead, he squared his shoulders and, staring fearlessly into tho fnco nbovo him, cried: "Shoot 1" For n moment tho two men remained so ; then Davo seemed to regain control of himself nnd tho murder light nick ered out of his eyes. lie Hung his pris oner nslde nnd cast the revolver Into a corner of tho room. Joso picked himself up, cursing his captor eloquently. "You gringos don't know how to die," he said. "Death? Pali I We must die some time. And supposing I do know something about the scnorn, do you think you can force mo to spenk? Torturo wouldn't open ,f llrvo "j "lit". Law did not trust himself to reply ; nnd tho horse-breaker went on with growing defiance: "I am Innocent of any crime ; there fore I am brave. Hut you tho blood of Innocent men means nothing to you Pnnfllo's murder proves that so completo your work. Mnko nn end of me." "Bo still 1" Dnvo commnnded, thickly. Hut tho fellow's hatred was out of bounds now, nnd by tho bitterness of ills vituperation he seemed to Invito death. Davo Interrupted his vitriolic curses to nsk harshly: "Will you tell me, or will you forco mo to wring tho truth out of you?" Joso answered by spitting at his cap tor; then ho gritted nn unspenkablo epithet from between his teetli. Davo addressed him with an nlr of finality. "You killed that man nnd your life Is forfeit, so It doesn't make much difference whether I take it or whether tho state takes It. You are bravo enough to die most of you Mexi cans are but the state can't forco you "Shoot." to spenk, and I can." Joso sneered. "uii yes, i cam l intend to know all that you know, and it will im iw.tt..r for you to tell mo voluntarily. I must learn wnere senora Austin is, and I must learn quickly, if I have to kill you by Inches to get the truth." "Sol Torture, eh? Good. I can be lieve It of you. Well, u slow llro will not make me speak." "No. A llro would bo too ensy, Jose." "Eh?" Without answer Dave strode out of tho room. Ho was hack before his prisoner could do moro than wrench at his bonds, and with him he brought his lariat and his canteen. "What aro you going to do?" Joso in quired, backing away until ho was onco more nt buy. "I'm going to glvo you n drink." "Whisky? You think you can umko mo drunk?" Tho horse-brenker luughod loudly bi't uneuslly. "Not whisky; wnter. I'm going to give you n drink of water." "What capers 1" "When you'vo drunk enough you'll tell mo why you killed your employer nnd where General Longorlo has tnken his wife. Yes, nnd everything eiso I want to know." Seizing tho amazed Mexican, Davo flung him upon Mo rales' hard board bench, and in spito of tho fellow's struggles deftly mndo him fast. When ho had finished and It was no easy Job Joso lay "spread eagled" upon his bock, his wrists and ankles firmly bound to the corners and foot posts, his body secured by u tight loop over his waist. The rope cut painfully and brought n curse from tho prisoner when ho strained nt it. Lnw surveyed him with a fnce of stone. "I don't want to do this," ho de clared, "but I know your kind. I glvo you ono moro chance. Will you tell me?" Joso drew his lips back in n snarl of rage and pain, nnd Dnvo renllzed thnt further words were useless. Uo felt n ccrtnin pity for his victim nnd no little ndmlration for his courage, but such feelings wero of small consequence as ngnlnst his ngonlzlng fears for Alalrc's safety. Had he in tho least doubted Jose's guilty knowledge of Longorlo's intentions, Dave would have hesltnted before employing the bar barous measures ho hud in mind, hut thero wns nothing else for It. IIo pulled the canteen cork nnd Jammed the mouthpiece firmly to Jose's lips. Clos ing tho fellow's nostrils with his free hand, lie forced him to drink. Joso clenched his teeth, ho tried to roll his head, ho held his breath until his face grow purple nnd his eyes bulged, lie strained like n man upon tho rack. Tho bench crenked to his muscular contortions; tho rope tight ened. It was terribly cruel, this crush ing of n strong will bent on resistance to tho uttermost; but never was nn executioner moro pitiless, never did n prisoner's ngony receive less consid eration. Tho warm water spilled over Jose's face, It drenched his neck nnd chest; his Joints creaked as he strove for freedom and tried to twist his head out of Law's iron grasp. The seconds dragged, until finally nnture asserted herself. The Imprisoned breath burst forth; thero sounded n loud gurgling cry nnd a choking lnhnlatlon. Jose's body writhed with tho convulsions of drowning ns the wnter nnd air were sucked into his lungs. Law was kneel ing over lils victim now, his weight nnd strength so uppllod thnt Jose had no liberty of action and could only drink, coughing and fighting for air. Some how he managed to revlvo himself briefly nnd again shut his teeth; but a moment moro nnd he was again retched with the furious battle for air, moro desperate now than before. After a while Law freed his victim's nostrils nnd ullowed him n partial breath, then once moro crushed tho mouthpiece ngalnst his lips. By nnd by. to relieve his torture, Joso began to drink In great noisy gulps, striving to empty the vessel. Hut tho stomach's capacity Is lim ited. In time Joso felt himself burst ing; the liquid began to regurgitate. This was not mere pain that ho suf fered, hut the ultimate nightmare hor ror of death moro awful than anything ho had over imagined. Jose would hnvo met a bullet, n knife, n lnsh, with out flinching; flumes would not have served to weaken his resolve; but this slow drowning was Infinitely worse than tho worst ho had thought pos sible; he was suffocating by long, blnck, agonizing minutes. Every nerve una muscle of his body, every cell In lils bursting lungs, fought ngnlnst the outrage in a purely physical frenzy over which his will power hud no con trol. Nor would Insensibility come to his relief Law watched him too care fully for that, lie could not even voice his sufferings by shrieks ; ho could only writhe nnd rV'tch nnd gurgle while tho ropes bit Into his flesh nnd lils captor knelt upon him like a monstrous stono weight. Hut Joso had made a better fight than ho knew. The canteen ran dry at Inst, nnd Law was forced to release his hold. "Will you speak?" he demanded. Thinking that ho had como safely through tho ordeal, Joso shook his head; he rolled his bulging, bloodshot eyes and vomited, then managed to call God to witness his Innocence. Dave went Into tho next room and rellllcd tho canteen. When he re uppeured with the dripping vessel In ills hund, Joso tried to screum. Hut his throat was torn nnd strained; the sound of his own voice frightened him. Onco moro tho torment began. Tho tortured man was weaker now, and in consequence ho resisted moro feebly; but not until ho wns less than half con scious did Law spare him to recover. Jose lay sick, frightened, Inert. Dave watched him without pity. The fel low's wrists wero blnck and swollen, his lips wero bleeding; ho was stretched like n dumb animal upon the vlvisectlonlst's table, and no surgeon with lnnco and scalpel could have shown less emotion than did lils In quisitor. Having no Intention of de feating his own ends, Dave allowed his victim ample time In which to regain his ability to suffer. Alalro Austin had been right when she satd that Davo might be ruthless; and yet the man was by no means In capable of compassion. At the present moment, however, ho considered him self simply ns the Instrument by which Alnlre was to bo saved. Ills own feel ings had nothing to do with the mat ter; neither had the sufferings of this Mexican. Therefore ho steeled himself to prolong tho agony until tho murder er's stubborn spirit was worn down. Onco again ho put his question, and, again receiving defiance, Jammed tho canteen between Jose's tooth. But hunum nature is weak. For the first time In nls life Joso Snnchez felt terror a terror too awful to be en dured nnd ho mnde the sign. Ho wns no longer tho Insolent dcfler, tho chnllengcr, but un Imploring wretch, whoso last powers of resist ance had been completely shattered. Ills frightened eyes wero glued to that devilish vessel In which his manhood had dissolved, tho fear of It made a womnn of him. Slowly, in sighs nnd whimpers, In ngonles of reluctance, his story came; his words were rendered almost incom prehensible by, his abysmal fright. When ho hnd purged lilmBelf of hla secret Davo promptly unbound him; then leaving him more than half dead, ho went to tho telephone which con nected the pumping station with Las Pnlmas nnd called up the ranch. IIo wns surprised when Blnzo Jones nnswercd. Blaze, It seemed, had Just arrived, summoned by news of tho tragedy. The countryside had been alarmed nnd n search for Ed Austin's shiycr wns being organized. "Call It olT," Dave told him. "Tve got your man." Blazo stuttered his surprise and Incredulity. "I mean It. It's Joso Sanchez, nnd ho has con fessed. I want you to come here, quick; nnd como alone, If you don't mind. I need your help." Insldo of ten minutes .Tones piloted his automobile into the clenrlng besldo tho river, nnd, leaving his motor run ning, leaped from the car. Dnvo met him at tho door of tho Morales house and briefly told him the story of Jose's capture. "Say! That's quick work," tho rancher cried, admiringly. "Why, Ed ain't cold yet I You gave him tho 'wn- Slowly, In Sighs and Whimpers, Cries of Reluctance, His Story Came. tor-cure,' eh? Now I reckoned It would tnko more than wnter to make a Mexi can talk." "Joso wns hired for tho work; ho laid for Ed Austin in tho pecan grove and shot him as he passed." "Hired! Why .this hombre needs quick hanglu', don't he? I told 'em at Las Palmas that you'd rounded up the guilty party, so I reckon they'll be hero in n few minutes. We'll just stretch this horse-wrangler, nnd snvo the coun ty some expense." Law shrugged. "Do whnt you like with him, but It isn't necessary. He'll confess lu regulation form, I'm sure. I had to work fast to learn what became of Mrs. Austin." "Miz Austin? What's happened to her?" Davo's voico changed; there wns a sudden quickening of lils words. "They've got her, Blaze. They waited until they hnd her sufo before they killed Ed." "'They?' Who are you tnlkln' nbout?" "I mean Longorlo and his outfit, no's got her over yonder." Davo flung out a trembling bund toward the river. Seeing that his hearer failed to com prehend, he explnlned, swiftly: "He's crazy about her got one of those Mexlcnn infatuations and you kiiow whnt that means. IIo couldn't steal her from Las Palmas sho wouldn't hnvo anything to do with hlin so ho used thnt old cattle deal as nn excuse to get her across tho border. Then lie put Ed out of tho way. She went of her own accord, nnd sho didn't tell Austin, becnuse they were hnvlnV trouble. She's gone to La Ferla, Blaze." "La Ferla 1 Then she's in for It." Dave nodded his agreement; for the llrst tlmo Blaze noted how whltn nnd set was his friend's face. "Longorlo must hnvo foreseen what waS coming," Dave went on. "That country's aflame; Amcrieuns, aren't safe over there. If war is declared, a good many of them will never be heard from. IIo knows thnt.' He's got her safe. She can't get out." Blnzo wns very grave when next he spoke. "Dave, this Is bad hnd. I can't understand what made her go. Why, she must hnvo been out of her head. B'ut we've got to do something. Wo'vo got to burn tho wires to Wash- lngton yes, and to Mexico City. Wo must get the government to send sol diers after her. What huve we got 'em for, nuyhow?" "Wnshlngton won't do nnythlng. What can be done when thero aro thou sands of American women In tho same danger? What steps can the govern ment tnko with diplomatic relntlons suspended? Thoso grousers ure Oiling their Jails with our people roundliif em up for tho day of tho big break. No, Longorlo saw it all coming ho' no fool. He's got her; she's In thero trapped." (TO Uli CONTINUED.) UNCLE SI TAKES KEEN INTEREST IN 1917 APPLE CROP Our Big Fruit Harvest Must Be Used to Help Save Wheat and Meat for Allies. FOOD ADMINISTRATION PLANS "Consumer Campaign" Throughout the Land to Aid In Home Consumption Durtnrj Autumn, Winter and Spring of Next Year. Uncle Sam takes the keenest inter est in this year's apple crop. For the fruit must be used to help save wheat and meats for our allies. The food administration is planning a consumer campaign of publicity throughout the country. This year's apple crop calls for In telligent handling. The latest govern ment reports indicate a crop of about 190,000,000 bushels. That Is a little below normal. Good prices are assured for all honestly packed, llrst quality apples, nnd nlso for honestly packed, selected second grades, which govern ment experts say can be put into stor age. When the crop is big it does not pay to store second grades, but this year, despite the fact that we cannot ship our usual 2,000,000 barrels of ap ples abroad, because shipping space is precious, we should be able to get fair prices for all good apples at home. Careless packing of poor qilrtllty fruit has always been ono of the chief causes of market Instability and un satisfactory prices to the growers. This year the whole apple Industry Is co-operating to remove this market handicap. There lias never been an apple year such as this one Is going to be. Growers huve never been nble to get together nnd engage and finance a national educational campaign among consumers to increase apple consumption. This year tho situation makes it necessary for the United States government, through the food administration, to conduct a consum er's campaign of publicity on behalf of the apple. This campaign will begin while the crop Is being sent to market, and will probably continue until tho last apple Is eaten up late next spring. So the grower has three great incen tives for grading, packing and storing this crop with especial care. 1. It is a good crop and calls for care. 2. The government will encourage apple eating und apple storage and will discourage speculation that raises tho price abnormally. 3. We must eat up at homo more 'ban two million burrels of apples, vhlch would ordinarily bo exported. To get the best of the crop to tho market in prime condition it must be picked carefully at the time jof ma turity and promptly cooled in tem porary storage, and then skillfully graded and packed. Second-grade fruit should not go into barrels or boxes. If It cannot be mnrketed In bulk in near-by consuming centers, then it should bo worked up Into by products along with the culls. Thero has been a gratifying Im provement In apple marketing the past two or three years. Western apples are boxed to strictly honest stnndnrds, by the great co-operatlvo growers' or ganizations in Washington, Oregon, California, Idulio and Colorado. The eastern barrel apple has also been wonderfully Improved in New York and other states. Becnuse apples are honestly packed and give the best pos sible value for tho money, there Is nn Increase In the consumer demand. Re tail merchants who wero formerly al most afraid to buy apples In barrels, because they were not sure of getting marketable values for their money, are now buying freely nnd In confi dence. This good work makes It pos sible for the government to go further nnd encourage the uso of apples as n war-time food measure. Because the bulk of the crop will be picked by volunteer workers this year, nnd put Into common storage until the grower can Had tlmo to grade nnd pnek, there will bo un opportunity to glvo closer personal attention to tho grading and packing than might be the case If the crop were handled ns in peace times. For the grower who de sires instructions in apple packing, the department of ngrlculture at Wash ington has information In bulletin form. These bulletins can be secured free by writing to the department. Growers will do well to obtain a few copies for their pickers and packers. Find a Use for Rats. The city authorities of Stockholm have begun a campaign against rats by offering a reward of 2i cents for every dead one. While it Is hoped thus to reduce the rat plague considerably, the chief end Is to get an Important addition to the stocks of fats nvullnblo for the making of soaps and lubri cants. The rats are treated In -n "corpse utilization establishment," where, after the fat has been boiled out, what remains Is converted Into n poultry food. South Sweden has for some time been utilizing cadavers of animals. Considerable fat Is also obtained by skimming Itirgo contain ers placed In the sewers lending from hotels, restaurants and other places where there is an unavoidable waste of fat. S western mm Good Yields of Wheat, Splendid Production of Pork, Beef, Mutton and Wool. The latest reports glvo nn assur ance of good grain crops throughout most of Western Canada, where tho wheat, oats and barley nre now being harvested, about ten days earlier than last year. Manltobn, Saskatchewan nnd Albertn nre all "doing their lilt" In n noble wny townrds furnishing food for the allies. While the total yield of wheat will not be as heavy as In 1015, thero nre indications thnt it will be an aver nge crop in most of tho districts. A letter received nt the St. Pnul office of the Canndlan Government, from a fnrmer nqnr Delia, Alberta, says hnr vest in that district Is one month enrlier than last year. His wheat crop Is estimated at 35 bushels per acre, while some of his neighbors will hnvo more. The average In the district will bo nbout 30 bushels per ncre. Now, with the price of whent in tho neigh borhood of $2 per bushel, It Is snfo to say that there will be very few farm ers but will be able to bnnk from for ty to fifty dollars per acre after pay ing all expenses of seeding, harvest ing nnd threshing, ns well ns tnxes. Tho price of lnnd in this district Is from $25 to $30 per ncre. Whnt may be said of this district will apply to almost any other In Manitoba, Sas katchewan or Albertn. Mnny fnrmers hnvo gone to Western Canada from the United States in the past three or four years, who having purchased lands, had the pleasure of completing the pnyments before they were due. They have made tho money out of their crops during the past couple of years, and If they are as successful In the future as in the past they will have put themselves nnd their families beyond all possibility of lack of money for tho rest of their lives. It is not only In wheat that tho farmers of Western Canada are making money. Their hogs have brought them wealth, and hogs aro easy to raise there bar ley Is plentiful nnd grns abundant, and the cllmnte Just the kind that hogs glory In. The price Is good" and likely to remain so for a long time. A few days since a farmer from Dnysland, Alberta, shipped n carload of hogs to the St. Paul market, and got a higher price than was ever be fore paid on thnt mnrket. Two mil lion three hundred nnd seventy-seven thousand two hundred and fifty dol lars was received nt Winnipeg for Western hogs during tho first six month? of this year. 181,575 hogs were sold nt nn average price of $15 per cwt nnd had an average weight of 200 pounds ench. The raising of hogs is n profitable and continually growing industry of Western Canada, and this class of stock is raised as economically here as anywhere on the North American continent. There is practically no hog disease, and im mense quantities of food can be pro duced cheaply. It has been told for years that tho grasses of Western Canada supply to both beef and milk producers the nu tritive properties that go to the devel opment of both branches. Tho stories that are now being published by dairymen and beef cattle men verify nil the predictions thnt hnye ever been made regarding the country's im portance In tho raising of both beef and dairy cattle. The sheep Industry is developing rapidly. At n sale nt Calgary 151,453 pounds of wool wero disposed of nt sixty cents n pound. At a sale at Edmonton 00,000 pounds were sold at even better prices than those paid at Calgary. The total clip this season will probably npproxlraato two million pounds. Many reports are to hand showing from six to eight pounds per fleece. 35 carloads wero sent to the Toronto market alone. Advertisement. c No Gold, No Edgs. American customs In business nro being adopted in Europe more nnd more. A shipment of several million eggs has been held up "by the Dutch authorities on the German frontier. The Germans had promised to pay In gold, and offered some of their "just ns good" paper. They didn't get tho eggs, after they'd shown the "color of their money." New Haven Register.
