THE COLBORNE EXPRESS. COLBORNE. ONT.. THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 192&V "SALADA" never before has such care feees? aased In preparing teas for the public. Never before has such a blend of high quality teas been made, as in "SALAiDA". This flavour, this unfailing deliclousness is brirg-ing pleasure to millions. MAX &&ND-~j 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 a stranger, Lee Haines, from the murderous hands of a scoundrel by the name of Joe Macarthur. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY lie was plainly enough visible. The arroyo was not wide, and the stars were deadly bright. He could only hope that, by drawing the brim of his sombrero over his* face, and flattening himself against the wall, he would not j after shot in his direction, be teen as the front of the posse rolled For his own part, he was jockeying by. ! his horse with the utmost care, sway- They came now, with three or four ling with every stride, leaning to cut eager riders rushing in the lead and the pressure of the wind. Yet all'this riding all the harder as they heard ] would not dov They began to gain the beat of hoofs from their quarry again. The firing stopped. There was so short a distance before them. These' a period of fierce and silent riding, were no short winded sprinters, over-' and then he saw that they were creep-burdened by riders of unusual weight I ing up steadily on either flank. They rede like avenging whirlwinds. | Desperately he looked about him. On they pushed, and then raised a Had he a gun he might have driven felTjk for down the canon ahead of them back to arra'| length and given spurs and many oaths. There were three falls and a thousand curses, but a few seconds all were over the edge and headed into the plain beyond. Nevertheless, they had taken more out of their horses in that brief group of seconds that in a mile of hard running. That handicap might balance the weight of Gloster in the saddle. So, at least, "he hoped. A.nd after the next furious half mile, in which he barely managed to hold them even, his hopes increased. Some of them using their guns, pumping shot e of the gelding' had fallen away to a trot. "Scatter, boys!" yelled the com ruanding voice of Sheriff Sim Hargess "That devil is slowin' up to iighl Shoot straight whan you chance of manoeuvr-But now all he could do was to ip the last strength of the mus-in a final burst. ■.ere should he direct his flight? of him the ground fell ; blotted out by the. the down slope was one of temptation, roar of hoofs as the main body of the Going down hill his weight would not posse rode past. In a few more sec-1 tell so much against the laboring horse onds they would find that ho was not with the gelding; then a brief search as they scattered in al". directions, and finally he must be taken bac.t to prison, trussed up like a calf. 1 here were forty men in that group, and in the* rear came two or three stragglers. One, it appeared, had fallen behind because something had gene wrong with his cinches At any rate, he was no^v overtaking tha main body hand over hand. With a secret pang Gloster saw the wide shoulders of that horse working. With such a mount to carry him-- He leaped from his place with a shout. The racing horse, seeing this sudden apparition, snorted and, throw-dng back its weight, tried to swerve away. That was the moment that Gloster chose for leaping. In spite of its efforts to stop, the horse was dashing away at a smart pace, and the double impact of the speed of the horse and Gloster's leap was all transferred to the luckless rider. He was smitten from his place as cleanly as any champion in the olden days picked an enemy out of the saddle in the lists and sent him crashing to the ground. Down he went, and into his place in the saddle slipped Harry Gloster. Gloster saw a narrow cattle path going up the side of the arroyo. Up this he went. The posse stormed after him. They were far too impatient to go up the path one by one; so they crashed up the steep bank with plying j thing. Half a doz-en mere go throuj to the opposite side and watch, tered out.

Then he arosa^ | to his feet and struck----- rand at a dog trot. For a full five miles he did not] slacken; then, as the wind freshenec I to the north and west, coming full i|i | his face, he dropped to a walk, buff A shadow formed against the sky' to his right. There was a sharpness of outline which could only come fron a house. He turned straight toward it, and in a few minutes he was sure A litfle later and he saw the wholi cluster of the buildings. It grew ir. distinctness, and now he put on his best speed. For, as he glanced behind him, he saw that a light was winking in the desert, then other lights swa-rn of distant fireflies of a giant size. He k/iew what they meant. They had been using their pocket elect: torches to find his trail, and, having Found it, they were doubtless tracking him across the desert al as their horses could gal By the time he reached the barns and sheds cf the 'ranch the lights had disappeared behind him. They had made up their minds that breaking for the sheds, and, for that matter, he-did not need the light to teli him of the rate of their approach, for now in the starlight he could make out the indistinct forms of the horsemen, a great blot of shadow coming rapidly over the sands. He found the saddles after a brief search in one of the sheds. And with saddle and bridle out into the corrol. The horses milled before him; but he pressed resolutely in, regardless of possible flying heels, for in the distance that beat of hoofs was growing and he could hear a calling--that must be the sheriff-- "Spread out! Spread out!" He crowded a horse into a coiner and in a moment had the saddle and bridle on it. Then he let down the bars to the corral. their work cut out or them if they tried to catch fresh mounts to follow him, while these mustangs had a thousand acre field to run in. He yelled, and the horses poured through the gap and away into freedom, snorting and tossing their heels It was all over in two minutes. The fagged mounts of the posse dropped almost instantly .behind him; their gurls began to pop at random--sure sign that they were beaten on this stage o the hunt, at the least.

Willows, ' doubt, were most of them, but they uld give him shelter, and if he could lin that screen they would hunt him utiously. He flattened himself along the neck of his mount, drove home the spurs, and felt the gallant mustang pour out the strength of his heart in the final effort. Dovin the hull they raced, drawing away from the clustered men of the posse at every jump. A bullet sung at his ear, followed by the Crack of the report. And then the trees were before him with the rush of the hard riders just behind. They passed the screen of the first trees. The others entered dwith a roar."" He kicked his feet out of both stii rups, halted the. horse on braced and sliding hoofs, true cow pony fashion, and then swung himself up onto an overhanging branch. A touch of the rowel as he pulled himself up sent the horse on at a fresh gallop, and, lying on the limb, he saw the others past him. He waited until the last had gone by. Then he dropped to the groui and started back, doubling on 1 tracks and running as he had nev run before. If he could gain the top of the rising ground before they found the riderless horse and came back to look for him, he might be able to get a sufficient distance and disappear in the night, but he was scarcely out of the willows when he hoard the yell which announced that his second mount of the night had been found. On he ran. The searchers scattered' here and there, rode toward him, then turned and rode hack again. Plainly they did not know what to do, and then he heard the voice of the sherifTas plainly as if the latter had been at his the trees. -you five ' ! mile, then cut thr --ride down the trees ar vard me.

HALF QUEEN AND HALF CHILD. It did not matter that they v long overdue at home, Peter was sent slowly home that night. For, now and again, Joan was blinded to the- way, recalling how Harry Gloster 1 ad come thundering out of the jail with the splinters of the broken dcor showering about him, an.', how he had bet-ten the three men to the earth and thrown one of them into the face of the crowd which was attacking. (To be continued.) Coreopsis In t'.ie early summer, when the spring flowers are ended and the hot wind and sun have not yet turned all green things a dull ijray, the core-posis dot the earth with their splendor. Their fringed faces, brilliant yellow, maroon-centered, sway carelessly on slender stalks. So the earth is carpeted with a yellow and red velvet. On the prairies they may be seen, fields of them. J The wind, coming across great fiat spaces, causes them to bend and curtsey as it passes, so that the whole earth becomes a mass of swaying yellow, splashed with darkest red. Earl;- comers to this mid-west prairie country tell of their first sight of it and their memory of the coreopsis, acres' and acres of waving yellow beneath a blue summer sky. Cities have come lately, farms and roads; but still there lingers that memory of the flat, lowly-ing prairio and the waves of yellow stretching to a far horizon. They aro in the low hills, too, among the rocks, small clumps of them shining against the dark stones. At the foot of the hills masses of yellow, which have run down from the high places and are lying at the base, spread near the trunks of the tree3, as if the leaves had rained a showor of blossoms upon the grass. Along the streams they may be found, following the line of trees which winds across the country. By the roads and highways, ribbons of yellow and red lead over hills, into valleys and out upon the prairie. Always there is the blue sky with gray and white clouds, the intense green grass and trees, and the showers of coreopsis over the earth. 1 Feet. New Materials Are Launched for Fall and Winter ir, spots and plaids are expected to take the place of the small neat prints. The spots are to be combined in all-over designs and also to assume diverse forms in the way of wheels, cords, dots and blots. --■4- From a Manchester house comes a prn -print of a small figure in pastel coloring on a white broche ground. Another is a geometric design of zigzag stripes of yellow and two shades of blue combined with squares of red and black. In voile, Ferguson Brothers of Carlisle show a pattern that' decreases in size from one selvage to the other and is completed at one side with a three-Inch border. The heavier materials presented for next winter bid fair to be extremely popular. From Lyons come new velvets in geometrical designs, in a va-TTety of# stripes, in fiorals.-'in plain patterns with woven small chevrons in double and two tones. New Effects in Transparent Velvet If transparent velvet gained such marked popularity last winter, it seems as though the new ones presented by Lyons should be even more so this year. For one thing, the vogue for using velvets for negligees, sports jackets and coats, and evening wraps, has been set and people no longer think of velvet for frocks alone. Then, too, there is a greater variety in these faconne velvets in regard to the weaves and the design. One pattern, for example, is floral, with daisies in white rayon on a red chiffon ground finely striped with gold. Florals, by the way, are moje popular than'the geometrical designs. This is probably due to the fact that the softness of a flower design is better suited to the delicate material; or it may possibly be becauso of the perfected process of printing the velvet on the back. Thus rose designs appear in new effects of subdued shades. Woolens Hold Their Own ■ Mln New York Herald-Tribune: It is estimated that the farmers of New York State lose more than a million dollars a year through the raiding of vegetables, fruit and poultry by motorists.
