SALADA TE A ' duction and mnk- Ed amous for flavour since 1892 -- the 'Salada' name assures you of a uniform blend of quality teas. By VICTOR yi. ROSSEAU DANA CHAPTER VI At the end of the short street the sage began, mingled with patches of range grass, Hooker struck a trail that ran outside the bottleneck of the valley and wound upward toward the mesas, For half an hour the two rode in silence. Hooker now and again - reining in to drink from a bottle that he carried in his saddle pocket. Invariably he tendered the bottle to Dave first, but Dave declined it. They had reached the lower wesas and the upper mesas. The sage had given place to a thin scrub. Looking back, Dave could see the whole valley stretched out beneath him, .and Mescal a mere blur on the landscape, far below, time. ° * [] "Seems to me pardner, you got mighty poor grazin' up here," he said. "Looks like a seclf-re- spectin' cow. would have a hard scratchin' for to make a livin'." Hooker swayed in the saddle. leered at him as he rode closer, "I've only got one cow, Dave," he answered, "and a rundown ranch," + - "Different when my wife liv- ed," he said. "She stuck to me, But sh: died three years ago, and since then 1 haven't cared much about anything excepting --well, let's be getting home." Just visible at the edge of the brush was a small cabin, with a wisp of smoke eddying upward from -a -stovepipe chimney. The little place was a mere shack, and looked utterly forlorn. "Well, we're home, Dave," sald Hooker. 'Here's where we - hang our hats under our hos- pitable rooftree." He took the lead, swaying from side to side in his saddle as : : ALN NEW RICHES . from famous COBALT 8 famous Cobalts mines now under the single central- ized control of Bilanco Mining & Bmelting Corpor- ation, An effic- lent profit-making mill.

For in front of the door, stand- ing with neither bridle, saddle, nor halter, was Black Dawn. Old Hooker shouted, and the door of the cabin opened. The girl, Lois, stood in the entrance, a frying-pan in one hand, and her arms white with flour to the elbows. } ' "Howdy, Lois!" Hooker - bawl- ed, "I've got some news for you, I've brought me back a partner, named Dave Bruce, and the inter- est on the mortgage is paid, He's going in with us, fifty-fifty, Come and shake hands with our new partner, Lois!" Dave clap- ped knees on his horse's flanks and rode quickly up. Lois was staring at him with 'dimay" and anger on her face. He slipped to the ground and moved forward, but she made no response to his approach, "So you'va come back!" she said in tones of Litter anger. "1 told you never to cross my path again. What have you come for?" "Why, 1 told you, Lois he's _ gone into partnership with me--" Hooker began, ~ "l don't believe it. You can take this man back where you found hins, and when you've done 80, I'll come back and talk to you. Till then you needn't expect to see me again!" * "But Lois--" protested Hook- er, : -- * * * Ignoring the old man's shrill vociferations, the girl vaulted upon Black Dawn's back and clapped knees to "his sides. He started at a swift lope along the mesa, followed by the whole lerd of brones, and in a few moments they were lost to sight in the scrub. There were two rooms in the cabin, and a tiny kitchen, with a - sink and a flow of water from a stream above. There. was a bunl. in either room, a table and two chairs, a few pathetic touches of a woman's untrained hands, such as the chintz curtains at the windows, two cheap rugs, and several pots of wild flowers blos- oming in tin cans at the win- dows, In the larger room, into which Hooker had staggered, there was something that bore out the old man's boast of his past, in the _ shape of a bookcase containing some three dozen tattered books. Dave glanced at them and saw that they were mainly historical volumes. * * * Hooker saw him looking at them and came staggering up. "Queer tricks life plays," -he hiccoughed, "You wouldn't 'be- lieve I used to be a professor of ancient languages, would you? And now I'm just ~n old bum, A pest, as that Lonergan called no [Ll ¥ [Je "You'd best lie down and sleep. Mr, Hooker," said Dave, In spite of the incongruous old figure, he ~couldn't help feeling both respect - and pity for it. 'Lie down, and I'll see about rustling up a meal. How about your, daughter? She won't come to no harm, will she?" "She's all right," hiccoughed NAMB ' covvsestnerarimracssncnesase Hooker. '"Nobudy around these parts would dare to touch her, .

Grew up with them, running wild on the mesas. "I did all I could to educate her. I knew I hadn't long to live, and I wanted to help her, so that she could go out into the world and make her living. But the country's got her. She's a half- tamed thing, and sometimes' I'm plumb scared of her myself." "Why didn't you quit this mesa and take her to a city?" asked " Dave. * * L He grasped Dave by the sleeve. Telling of their experiences "I've done my best by her, but | while prisoner: in Germany, - she's not my daughter, Unner- stand that?? I'll tell you -- more--"' Sleep overcame Hooker even as he stood talking. His tall frame swayed. Dave caught him and, carrying him to the bunk, laid him down. Night fell, and Lpis had not returned. How long did the girl intend to stay away? When Hook- "er was sobered up, Dave meant to thresh matters out with him, and come to an understanding with Lois. Suddenly he realized that he was dog-tired after the exertions of the day. He went into Hooker's room and spread his blanket on the floor, making a pillow of his coat and slick- er. In 8 moment he was sound asleep. . . ; LJ * . Hooker was awake and stum- bling about the room, muttering to himself, Dave started up, sleep still in his eyes. "Hold on, pardner," he called. "Don't go treadin' on me." * He heard the heavy body lurch against the cabin wall, "Who are you? What are you doing here?" called Hooker. "Just take it easy, Hooker, I'm your pardner, Dave Bruce. Maybe you don't remember sign- in' up with me." Dave turned up the wick of the 'Jamp that he Lad set on a shelf beside the open door. He could - 'see that I<is' bunk was empty. Hooker was leaning against the wall beside the little window, breathing heavily, and staring at him. Outside it was pitch dark, [necessary to but a glance at the clock showed Dave that it was within an hour - and a half of sunrise. Hooker stared at Dave in the light of the lamp and passed his hand across his forchead. "Yes, 1 reniember," ke sail thickly. "I was dreaming, Where's Lois?" "She ain't come in."

Ontario's Newest Beaver Sanctuary Sanctuary of 100 Square Miles " On Shore of James Bay According to an order-in-council of the Ontario government which bears the date of last October 13 this province is to have a beaver sanctuary located on the west shore .of James Bay. This sanc- tuary will be roughly 100 miles by ° 100 miles In extent, The des- cription of the area states that it starts at the mouth of the Kap- fskau River and extents north- ward along the bay for about one hundred miles, The boundary line projects westward to longitudd 85 (about 100" miles). Then the line runs south to the Kapiskau which forms the southern boundary of the sanctuary, The order-in-council sets forth that the sanctuary will be estab- lished for a period of five years. At+the end of that time the period may be extended and also from time to time as may be decided. The sanctuary is to be known as the Attawapiskat Beaver Sanc- tuary. There are three consider- able rivers in the area and the largest of these {is the Attawa- piskat, which according to the map is rather a noble river, rising in a lake of the same name. This lake Is 200 or more miles directly north of Fort William, Indians To Benefit + The order-in-council states the purpose of the sanctuary is to he a benefit to the Indians of the area concerned, The Hudson's Bay Company has agreed to cause to 'be distributed in suitable sections of the area not less than 20 pairs of beavers each year. If at the end of five years there is a suf- ficlent increase in the number of beavers the taking of a reason- able number will be permitted but the trapping privileges will be ex- tended only to Indians. tI is hoped that eventually the sanctuary will provide a permanent source of revenue for 'the redmen in the isolated northern area concerned. In the district, besides the Atta- wapiskat and Kapiskau -rivers there also Is another, the Ekwan, all flowing into James Bay. It is . presumed that there are" a num- her of smaller streams flowing in- to these rivers and it Is in such streams that the beavers are likely ta build their dams.

New Steel Lifeboats For Oil Tankers After exhaustive tests the 'Brit- ish Ministry of War Transport has completed arrangements for the mass - prdouction. of a new design of steel lifeboats for ofl tenkers, An been placed for 500 boats. They. are 28 ft. long, have a beam of 9 ft, 6 in, and a depth of 8 ft. 9 in. The total weight fully equipped and manued, is about 7% tons. The boat is pro- pelled by Diesel éngines or by the Fleming hand-gear. The boat has a sliding canopy of asbestos over the cockpit, providing protection from fire and water, and a num- ber of sprayérs worked by hand pumps to throw a screan of water over the entire craft. ' There is seating capacity for 38 persons. When fully loaded, the boat has a speed of 6.6 knots, or 8.3 knots when only the hand-propelling gear is used, The boat' has been subject to tests of intense fire and smoke for four minutes, during which it was estimatéd the eraft could have been propelled at least a quarter of a'mile up wird, either by motor ~ power or hand gear, a distance which, it {8 believed, would gen- erally be more than "he limit of blazing oil on the sea. 4 po ne ol initial order has ; NEL EVV INET Pimples and Blackheads Relieved by this Medicinal Ointment . 9 Whether in bathing suit or evening dress you become very much embar- rassed by skin affections and irritations on the shoulders and V as on the face, Why not do something about it--something worth while, Dr. Chase's OINTMENT is a medicinal product on which you can rely for clearing up skin troubles of this nature as sac i ! to use Dr. Chase's OINTMENT for baby'sskin troubles and eczema find it so delightfully healing and + soothing that they soon acquire the habit of using it for their own skin affections.2 4] 60 cts. a box, Economy Jar, five times as well as ite ng and eczema, Mothers who are accustomed much $2.00 Dr. Chase's 23 Ointment k as well TABLE TALKS SADIE .B.
