Bel ding argued with himself that If Ben Chase and bis sob, Radford, had turned out to be big men in other ways than in the power to carry on great enterprises he might have be come reconciled to them. But the father was greedy, grasping, hard, cold; the son added to those traits an overbearing disposition to rule, and he showed a fondness for drink and cards. These men were developing the valley, to be Aire, and a horde of poor Mexicans at! many Americans were benefiting from that development; nevertheless, these Chases were operating In a way which proved they eared only for themselves. fielding went to Casita with a number of his white thoroughbreds and shipped them to ranehers and horse- breeders In Texas.

SAFEGUARDING GRADE SOME ON CROSSINGS . -- d, "Mr. Beldlng, do you mean my son Richard Gale has done all. that you told ns?" he asked, incredulously. "I sure do," replied Beldlng, with hearty good will. "Martha, do you hear?" Mr. Gale turned to question his wife. She could not answer. Her face had not yet regained its natural color. "lie faced that bandit and his gang alone he fought them?" demanded Sir. Oale, his voice stronger. Belding nodded with a grin. "He's a ranger now riding, fighting, sleeping on the sand, preparing his own food? Mr. Belding, you say Richard works for you. May I ask, at what salary?" "He gets forty dollars, board and outfit," replied Belding, proudly. "Forty dollars?" echoed the father. "By the day or week?" "The month, of course," said Belding, somewhat taken aback. "Forty Jollars a jnontlLfor a young, man who spent five hundred ln the same time when he was at college, and who ran it Into thousands when he got out J" Mr. Gale laughed for the first time, and it was the langh of a man who wanted to believe what he heard yet scarcely dared to do It. 'What does he do with bo much money money earned by peril, toll, sweat, and blood? Forty dollars a month !" "He saves if," replied Beldlng. Evidently this was too much for Dick Gale's father, and he gazed at his wife in sheer speechless astonishment. Dick's sister clapped her hands like a little child. Beldlng saw that the moment was propitious; "Sure he saves it. Dick's engaged to marry Nell here. Sly stepdaughter, Nell Burton." "Oh-l- i, Dad!" faltered Nell; and she rose, white us her dress. How strange It was to see Dick's mother and sister rise, also, and turn to Nell with dark, proud, searching eyes. Beldlng vaguely realized some blunder he had made. Nell's white appealing face gave him a pang. What bad he done? Surely this fum-ilof Dick's ought to know his relation to Nell. There was a silence that positively made Belding nervous. Then Elsie Gale stepped close to Nell. ".Miss Burton, are you really Richy ard's betrothed?" Nell's tremulous Hps framed an affirmative, but never uttered It. She held out her hand, showing the ring Dick had given her. Miss Gale's recognition was Instant, and her response was warm, sweet, gracious. "I think I am going to be very, very glad," she sold, and kissed Nell. "Sliss Burton, we are learning wonderful things about Richard," added Sir. Gale, in an earnest though shaken voice. "If you have had to do with making a man of him and now I begin to see, to believe so may God bless you . . . Sly dear girl, I have not really looked at you. Richard's fiancee ! . . .

Gale's face broke Into nn expression of mingled pain and joy. She opened her arms. Nell, uttering a strange little stilled cry, flew Into them. M. P. Robson of Houston, Tex., has advanced an Idea on the. safeguarding of railroad crossings that Is being hailed as a very valuable suggestion by railroad safety men and .traffic men generally. The two drawings illustrate Mr, Robson's plan. The upper drawing shows the proposed method where the roadway is parallel to tbe railway tracks. Take the dri ver in the car as pics tured. If a train is coming toward him, he sees It while on the main highway. If a train is coming ln the opposite direction, that Is to his rear, g v Always a Danger Spot. The principal thing ln safeguarding grade crossings Is to make the motorist understand that every crossing Is a 'lfcH"HHIllll danger spot, to impress on him, us he 'iltMlHim approaches, that he is at a place where he must take precautions. Any plan which tends to make the motorist feel that the grade crossing has heeii made safe is worse thau no plan at all Auto men and railway men generally who hc.ve been approached nn the subject hare agreed that Mr. RobA Plan Adopted on Some of the New son's plan Is superior to any of tlie others suggested and they" express the Roads in Central Texas. hope that It will speedily be given a Ing In the same direction with him, thorough test he can't fail to see this train when he While it is recognized that tbe plan uiakes the acute angle turn for the would make railroad crossing a slow railroad and is headed process, It is believed that motorists crossing obliquely back In the other direction. would not object to this If a large In addition, the motorist, ln order number of the present grade crossings to make the acute angle turn must are eliminated altogether.

TO KEEP CAR RUNNING Good, Clean Oil Is of Most V1V1I Importance, Just a Few Changes From Summer Running Are Necessary and Six Helpful Suggestions Are Offered to Owners of Automobiles.

Even In the dark he would know when to stop simply by the sound of the water dripping to the garage floor from the overflow pipe.

The mixture In the carburetor Is correct if the engine runs Avlthout choking, popping or missing in the lowest possible speed or the highest possible speed or at any speed between these two extremes. The color of the exhaust flame, if exhaust manifold were removed or In cylinder head opened, should be a faint blue or purple.

From across the depths there came to Gale's ear the Indian's strange, wild cry. Action on the part of the Yaqul loosened the pell which held Gale as motlonfess as his surroundings. The Indian was edging back toward the ledge. He did not move with his t lithe and sure freedom. He crawled, slipped, dragged himself, rested often, and went on again. He had been wounded. When at last he reached the ledge where Slercedss lay Gale jumped to his feet,, strong nnd thrilling, spurred to meet the responsibility that now rested upon him. Swiftly he turned to where Thome lay. The cavalrymnn was Just returning to consciousness. The look In Thome's eyes was hnrd to bear.
