This must be done at a time when unrest is general and radicalism is rampant. The constitution that is written in 1920 will stand for our children and grandchildren.. It is important that men of poise and vision sit in that. convention; wo can not afford to trust the destiny of the state to hair-brained theorists, socialists and bolsheviks.

There was "wild, unsubdued fire In her eyes. fUy the wny alio threw bad her hend a'hd BhoateajtO'lier' mount, a Blcek chyuscV'ene could tell nt'a glanca that she was a girl of splrlt'who did things. Hess wns not accustomed to riding nlonc through the gorge trail, covered only by .n stage from SUverhead, q ncl'gliborlng mining town. Usually , I'lill rode wtlh lier. It Wns linlf In anger toward him that she had chosen the lonesome, ' Bonn! srild tlhngorous, route. t SJic liflc' sen Phil two hours before, nnd, nt'usuat, had shouted nn Invito tlon for him? to ride with her. "Can't I I'm busy todny. See you Inter," lie Answered, waving his hat tq her and galloping on. There, was something in his eyes, that bothered the girl, when she rc membered It. It was for thnt reason, hnlf nn hour Inter, Bess had chosen the lonely gorge road. Slio wnntcd to be nlone, to think nbout Phil, nnd weigh her fnther'a doubts nliout tho young fellow, who seemed to do nothing snvo ldlo his Utile nwny, nnd who hod never been 'caught working since he had struck town two months before. Why' did ho occasionally go off on bis horse nlone, and not come back till the next day? Who wore tho city men he often met at the dally train, nnd sometimes went on with for a day or two? , He had never explained his business to Bess. The night before he hnd asked her to marry him. The thought hnd coma to her so suddenly that all sliu could do was ask for time. "I will answer you tomorrow eve ning," she had said. She could not understand his urgen cy, tho engorness In his voice. "But I have many things to thlrift of," she protested. "You know how father Is opposed to you. It's partly because you look city-bred, and still know horses nnd mining so well. IIu seems to be almost suspicious of you." "I can easily clear up uny sus picion," Ire hnd answered confidently. "But I wunt my answer now. To morrow mny be too lnte." Why had he repeated that ominous wnrnlng? Had he planned nnythlng for today? Was he in danger of any kind? At that moment the rumble of wheels behind her caused Bess to turn. She had already reached a lone ly spot In the gorge, some miles from town. It wns tho stnge from SUverhead, carrying Its cargo of silver anil pas-" sengers, winding through the gully, cut sharply between lilgu cliffs. The four horses were straining at their lond, and coming along at a smart clip. Bess whipped up her horse to gain a wider part of the road, where the conch could pass her. The passage was uneven and full of rocks. Biding being dllllcult, the girl bent nil her attention on the steed. At u sharp turn In tho road some thing scared the .skittish Yayiwe. A second later the animal shied at u big bowfder confronting them, nnd Bess wns hurled through tho air, over his head, lauding In a Jut In the wall. Her revolver Hew from her belt with the Jolt, and the frightened cayuso galloped nn ulope. When the girl pulled herself togeth er she found thntthe horse had thrown her Into an opening, a little pocket In the natural stone wall at the turning which commnuded a view of the road on both sdes of the hlmrp corner. She glnnced nut, nnd found the stnge. drawing near nt n rapid rate; then, looking In the opposite direction, Bess1 saw her enyuse galloping mndly, already half a mile away. The revolver that hnd Jolted lovse was the next thing to attract her at tention, and she was about to slide down nnd recover It from the ledge, two feet below, when n quick" move ment attracted her In the direction her horse had taken. The girl's eyes dilated , nnd she Reemed frozen to the spot, as sho watched three masked 'horsemen Hear ing tho gully roud through a narrow detlle down ono side. In a moment Bess realized. The stage vns thundering on. Sho slipped forward to get tho gun. The stuge wus not a hundred yards off, Bess glanced 'apprehensively nt tho three grim horsemen, partly concealed behind a bowlder ut the roadside. The hand reaching for the revolver drew back sharply. She caught In her breath with n conyubjlyegnsp. Bess lmd' recognized In that lnotnnt the leuder of the bandits. It was Ph II. Around his neck was the very hand kerchief sho fittd spont weeks em broidering for him,'-every stfteh 'an expression of love 'nhd faith. Then her tyes glinted like blue steel, Her teeth snapped together, and Mie made n quick gni.sp forthe revolver, , '- Wlthlt secure In her liiuul, she best tntejl but a mmnciii ; then, her cheeks white and life drawn, hhc ttcndlly aimed the revolver ut Her .tliisuspect' t OIIKF Ing lover, who, with his men; awnTleU the stage. There wns tho love of a savage nnd tho hate of a savage In her expression. She had found out her lover nt last, and hud instinctively pointed the gun nt him. 'Bess left hand clenched so that the tendons showed white through the skjn arid lllo forefinger of her right hand twitched on tlio trigger. Beforo sho realized the trembling finger gave a Jerk and pulled the trig ger. There.' came a ellght click, but nothing more. The hammer hnd become Jammed by the jolting received when It fell from her belt. Glancing up, her wits scattered by tills sudden discovery, she saw the stage roiling past the gap. It was too latei The gun hnd failed, and the stage bad pawed be fore shq could give the warning. "Hands up I" The gruff growl made Bess grow faint, and her eyes swam. For In it 'sho recognized the same tone thnt she knew so well In Phil's voice, but It 'wns sot brutal, so different. ' Sho .'watched; with a stifling throat nnd hen vlng bosom, as a shot rang out from Phil's gun nnd the driver, who had not obeyed the summons quickly enough, tumbled from bis scat nnd flopped onto his back in the road. Bess sprang to her feet, aflare with madness.. Her wits worked rapidly; she must do something to cope with his brulnllty. The bandits stopped tho dashing horses, nnd in a moment a trembling party of travelers filed slowly from the stage. They lined up In n row, their hands high above their heads. Bess gave n strangled" gasp, a sud den Impulso seized her, nnd sho leaped to the road, hor revolver clubbed and clutched tensely. With blind fury she flew to the hold up scene, her nostrils dilated, her eyes red-rlmmed. The leader evidently saw her com ing. Ho darted forward, nnd a min ute later Bess found hcTself struggling and fighting In h(s strong nrms. He knocked the revolver from her hand nnd tried to explain something in eager words. But she would not listen. She screamed with rage and tore ut him; hlf very touch wus tho blight. Ills 'liu seared her wherever they rested. In the meantime his companions continued their work nnd paid no nt tentlon to him. With n wild gleam In his eyes, Phil suddenly forced her back and held her tightly explaining to her, trying to get the girl to listen to his defense. Through sheer weakness Bess final ly hnd to listen. Then the words had their effect. Her eyes gleamed, she looked at him squarely and became more quiet. "Walt here!" ho cried suddenly. Til go back nnd get the stuff. Walt here for me." Ah he dashed off Besi sank to the ground, utterly spent, nnd she lay sob bing weakly, while her lover rushed back to the frightened group of trav elers, swooped up the valuables, tied them In a wide handkerchief, mounted 'his horse, fired several shots In the air, and swung down the trail to where Bess sat In a heap, wondering trying to renssure herself thnt nil he had said was true. Half a mile from the holdup sccno he drew rein nbruptly and turned to Boss with n reassuring smile. "I hnd to go this far," he explained. "They need a slide In the picture of tho bandits getting nwny, nnd I guess mine was some picturesque getnway. "Your butting in helped the picture a gnod deal, Bess. They'll change the Ideu and label this part: 'Wife Plead ing With Bandit Chief.'" "Phil," she said, looking up with yearning eyes," In which the slightest suggestion of a muIIo wns beginning to glow, "Is It ronlly true? I know it must be. But the thing seemed so renl nt the time. I never saw a mov ing picture' taken before." "Well, It won't be the Inst one you'll see taken, I hope," the mnn smiled, wiping her tear-stained fnee with the handkerchief she had made for him. "That's my business. The people in the Htngc-cimch nnd my confederates are all actors; the man who did the stage-fall from the driver's seat Is my brother, We're In partnership In the business." "But hy didn't you explnln all this before?" queried the girl, the smile succeeding In erasing some of the tragic tensity of her features. "Well, people arc curious about moving pictures; thpy want to butt In 'and see them taken. That spoils the whole thing, und 1 didn't want to bo bothered." "Haven't I bothered you, Phil, Just a llttlo?" she asked, the smile assert ing Itself boldly for the first time. "You've bothered mo more than anything has for n long time,'" he cried, reaching toward her eagerly. "Well," she said, having recovered her natural spirit entirely? "I guess I'll fix It up with you and a Justice of tho pence, so I can hiivo the exclusive privilege of bothering' you nil tho rest of your life." "So you've made up your' mind at lost," he cried, Inclosing her In a ten dcr embrace. I She throw, oft his arms playfully and spurred tho horse Into action; thVy galloped back to the rnovlng-plc-ture party nnd announced their, eh- Ijjngonioht. h 'men ness tout or now sue au in most tried to kill the hundlt chief, as suring them, however, that even if the hummer hadn't been Jammed, she couldn't have hit him with tuoh 'trerubly h:md.

They weigh only about one luuuii da mum da uiuei mnn engines. However, when compared with high grade engines used for other purposes, Cusbman Engine3 are not regarded as un usually light in weight For instance, they Weigh several times as much, per horsepower, as automobile engines. LightWeightFarmMotors Weigh only one-fourth as nach as ordinary farm engines. Light weight and higher speed mean wore fobs, easier haadliag, less waste of Material and lael aad steadier raanlag. Cushman Engines are the standard light weight engines of the world. Ctisaman Engines are high grade engines built for farm work- made as heavy as they need to be, but no heavier. They are balanced so carefully and governed so accurately that they do not need such heavy construction. Even with their lighter weight, Cushman Engines run much more steadily and quietly than ordinary farm engines weighing several times as much. They are also the Most durable farm engines in the world, on account of improved design and better material and construction.
