THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBOl ONT.. THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1928. Green Tea drinkers do not know the fuli enjoyment of Green Tea unless they use "SALADA" Green--the very choicest variety, blended to perfection--packed In air-tight metal to protect the flavour--Sells for only 38c per i-lb---Ask for It at any grocer's. "SALADA GREEN TEA - BEGIN HERE TODAY. . Finding the lifeless bodies of his two partners at their gold-mining camp, Harry Gloster flees southward, knowing that he will be accused of the crime. On the way Gloster saves the life of Lee Haines from the murderous hands of Joe Macarthur. Gloster is jailed after getting into a fight with several men over a girl. Lee Haines comes to his rescue,' holding up the sheriff while Gloster,makes a dash for freedom. "Joan," presumably the daughter of Buck Daniels, an old reclusee, also helps Gloster, showing him the way to safety. Haines is struck by a bullet and fatally wounded. Joan takes the dying man to an old cabin among the trees where he tells her the story of Dan Barry-unusual, demonaic, fearless mar the old west school. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY wasn't Satan--and Dan started to get the seven, one by one. He forgot Kate. He forgot the youngster. He went on a blood trail--" "Why not?" cried the girl. "If Peter were killed--" "But for the sake of a borrowed horse--to kill six men That was why Kate left him. She still loved him, but she saw that she could not stay with him on account of their little girl.

So that, during the first ten minutes of his ride, Harry Gloster watched his progress with thii utmost satisfaction and heard thfi noise of the pursuit beat away into the distance. But he presently discovered that the roan was beginning to slacken his efforts. His gallop was losing its elasticity, and his fore hoofs struck the earth with a lifeless beat which meant a very great deal to the rider. He recalled the sheriff--a lean and sun-withered man who might well be fifty pounds lighter than himself. Perhaps it was his weight which was killing the roan. Perhaps it was the great 3peed wth which he had covered ; from the town, combined. But that he had kill-ount. • id dropped out struck the first two n No doubt, both cause he presently was sure ed the speed of the r He dre of the saddle. The instant the ground he saw how much worse matters were than he had dreamed. He had to draw the roan along by the reins. The poor animal dragged back on the bit with dull eyes and flagging ears, and his hoofs trailed in the dust; and he got his wind back with amazing slowness.

Another is that I think he's one of Satan's colts. I got him when he was a yearling, and he was in the mus-\tang band that old Satan was still leading. Seme of the old blood in him. And if he had another Dan Barry on his back--how can I tell?-- he might be every bit as good as his father ever was! "But to get back to Barry himself, I say he used to go around the country on the back of a horse he didn't need a bridle to handle and with a wolf trailing him and doing his errand: "Satan would trot away to a little distance. Then Black Bart attacked Dan--like a demon* with his bristling and his great teeth slashing the air a hair's breadth from Di with his hands, dancing here and there like the shadow of a leaf whirlpool of wind. "And Satan would come to the cue with the sun winking on him, and his mane bowing above his head; just a fraction of a second's pause at the scene of the fight--and then Dan had dived at him, caught him in some way o round the neck and then twisted to his back. So off they would go with Black Bart after them, sailing through the air with his teeth aimed at Dan's throat--imagine catching a hundred and thirty pound wolf coming at you like an arrow with his speed plus the speed of a racing ho But that's, what Dan Barry would do, and off they would go with Satan carrying both of them and thinking nothing whatever about it!" "Ah," murmured the girl, "how beautiful and how free! Such a man could do no wrong!" "Let me tell you what he did. He married beautiful Kate Cumberland. He settled down. He forgot his wild-ness. Rather I should say that he kept putting the impulses behind him. But finally they broke loose again. Seven men chased him. Seven men killed the horse he was riding--it beginning to sh( youngster.

"Who are you?" he asked. "Joan Daniels," she answered; "but tell me more about Dan Barry. It me--I don't know why--it pours me full of wonder, happiness, fear, to hear you speak of him." "What Daniels?" Haines persisted. "Buck Daniels." "What? He wasn't married fifteen years ago. How could he have daughter of your age?" "Do you know him?" He disregarded the question. "Tell me about your mother." "She looked a little like me. I mean, she had yellow hair and blue eyes." "I told you before--it was Kate." He had raised himself, tensed with the effort. Now he sank abek, supine, with his eyes closed. And Joan leaned anxiously above him. 'What's wrong? Are you worse?" she cried. "Worse every minute," he said calmly, without opening his eyes. "I'll get help--" ■ "Stay close to me, Joan. I've only a minute or two left. I knew when I I had one look at the place that slug hit j me that I was finished. I've seen j many wounds not to know.

He swung out of the saddle, balanced his weight on one stirrup for an instant, and then- dropped to the ground. The tired gelding would have dropped back to a trot at once. Glostei scooped out a handful of pebbles, sent the horse flying on with the force of them, and then threw himself back against the wall of the ravi (To be continued.) Color Cautions person can wear all colors successfully. 2. The color and texture of tthe skin determines the color most suitable for clothing. A person with an olive brunette skin, for example, can deep creams, bronze greens, deep dark red, even purple in some tones. If the skin is not finein texture these colors may still be worn, but they must be subdued and softened, "grayed down" in other words, so that they do not contrast too strongly with the skin. A skin that is more pink than yellow can wear pastel colorings best of all. Such skins usually have blue, hazel, or very clear brown eye.:. They may have blond, hazel, white or black hair. A sallow skin can wear dark browns and black perhaps better than any other 3ubdued or grayed colors are becoming to large figures. Colors should be chosen to bring ' industriously Ants, Bees, Wasps By J. B. CARRINGTON In my boyhood I recall that I was not infrequently admonished "to go to the ant, thou sluggard," and the busy little bee was ever an examplar of the way youth should go. I do not remember any similar ap-ilication of moral precepts about wasps, probably because they were not so much In evidence. I have made their acquaintance, been touched by their business ends" at times, just as I have been made acquainted with the big, lumbering bumblebees. We used to dig them out of their holes, and ' Honeybees have always had. a sentimental appeal to us ever since we read Whlttier's poem, "Telling the Bees," in an old school reader, and the political and social ways ot bees have been the study of scientists, poets and others from time immemorial Take down your Virgil and read his IVth Georgic. I mean, of course, your Dryden's English version, unless you are a recent grad. But, speaking of wasps, again. As we sit on the big south porch they fly recklessly about and sing in our earn, now and then dropping down to see if by ■ chance they may find a good place to bite. They build their mud houses on the wood ceiling and fill them with bugs and spiders for the little grubs to feed on when they wake up in the, new year. They have a way of playing hide and seek behind the curtains, and when you reach up to close them at night they are apt to resent J your touch and give you something to think about, and to cause remarks. Honeybees are much- nicer and ever so much more interesting. They come about the house and help the flowers and fruit trees and do a lot of good In many different ways. Fabre has written wonderful stories about their ways, and there is that fascinating book by Sir John Lubbock on "Ants, Bees and Wasps." | I have always wanted to be on' friendly terms with, a hive of bees, | but somehow I have missed the magic words, or the right attitude of approach, for the angry bees have told me in plain and annoyed buzzing that they didn't want to know me. j I have never kept bees in a hive,1 but I am keeping a flock in the roof of my house, where they have taken i tiny opening and are making honey I hate to kill such industrious and useful members of t Maybe they will go off with young queen. I'd be glad to give her a wedding present of a hive or a field of sweet clover or buckwheat. And now we come t rather, they come to us! They in battalions, regiments, companies, brigades; big ants, little ones, red ones, red and black ones, black ones --one and all bent on destruction. In the woods are the mound builders, big red and black fellows, that excavate the earth and pile it up in heaps, grain by grain. Down below are thousands of them, mining, see them come out, each with a grain of sand in its mandibles, to drop somewhere away from the entrances. Along the walks are the black ants sawing wood. There is a pile of dust alongside, and up in a beam of the pergola they are industriously digging in. Every morning I find ; pile of sawdust on the porch floor sometimes two or threo inches deep, and I have watched a workei to a small hole in the beam and drop his load They are slowly but surely eating up my house. I feel justified in resorting to the weapons of modern warfare, in ttrir case, for the ants are born trenc": fighters, and poison gas is about t'.i! cii^y effective ammunition. The small, reddish-brown ant tha makes little hills on the paths ;s the coin-louse ant, so called because it takes care of the aphids called lice. They dig with their feet, ! ing the sand behind them. . One of the most interesting c ants is the slave-holder, that looks much like the mound builder. They go out in procession to attack tho nests of other ants. The curious thing about this is that they treat their captives, the larvae and pupae kindly, and bring them up in the way good ants should go to become members of the colony. The housekeepe-'s chief pest among the ant tribe is the smail. reddish yeilow one that gets Into ev?ryriling edible. They especially like the sugar bowl, and any kind of grease is choice eating. About thU time of year you are impressed with tho Incredible fecundity of bugs in genera!. The air Is full of flying things, they dance in the sunlight (when there Is any), and after dark they beat against your windows when the lamps are lighted. The fireflies flash their wonderful signal lamps among the dark leaves of the maples and down in the low, damp places. I sometimes wake up in the night to look out at the great skies and the quiet stars, and see those cheerful little flashlights darting across the dark, mysterious shadows made by the trees. Of course, there is always beauty, romance and poetry In nature, but you can't be oblivious of the terrifying multitude of crawling, flying and growing things that will possess the earth If "we don't watch out."

Miss Locke was marooned for 10 days on an island in the Niger, dodged crocodiles and rhinoceroses In a forced punting trip on the same river, and was said to be the first white woman to visit the Gloui of Marakesh in his 3,000-year-old home in the Atlas Mountains. Miss Locke said her party had motored across the Sahara to Timimoun, accompanied by a military escort. The interior of the desert, she said. Is bare of sand dunes, and there are no oases, and all supplies had to be carried for 20 days. From Timimoun to Timbuktu the •oute lay through the Grand Erg, the great dune country, where there are oases and travelling is pleasanter. At Flgui, in the Grand Erg, Miss Locke saw palm trees which, she said, are [ a variety found nowhere else in the orld except in Arizona. Crossing a ford of the Niger, her party's motor car sank In quicksand, carrying with it the__ which they had kept in touch ■ the French authorities.
