CHAPTER X—Continued - The river bed wu la a deep sully •nd the path, which was little more than a goat track, dropped by spirals Into thickets of oleanders and trailing thorns. The mountain ponies picked their way like cats among the rocks, but, at times, m atting native saddlery slipped over the|r withers and necessitated agonised halts for readjustment. When, for the third time, Heins found himself draped round the neck of his beast, he s!ipi>ed off. flung the rein over the-anlmal’s head, and plodded down on foot The lllffs followed suit Only Rosemary clung to the saddle, because, by this time, she was too cramped to move. Her thighs and the muscles behind her ankles were stiff with the Incessant strain of leaning back, as her mare Jerked downward, with mulellke solidity of her forelegs. Their progress was silent except for the cascades of loosened stones. Each man had an eye on the sun. which dropped relentlessly behind the western range. Heins alone realised a greater danger than darkness. As they clattered around the last bends into the ravine, his ears ■were alert to catch the roar of waters released. The short African twilight fell over them. The bushes were ghostly gray, and the bowlders fantastic as crouching animals. Though it was c<k>l, sweat broke out on Heins's forehead. They must get through before it was dark, and now they were below flood level, shut In between the cliffs, in an hour, in a few minute*, heaven alone knew when, this path would be gone, the whole place lost In a hurtling mass of water. He measured the overgrown banks looking cavernous In the twilight, and wondered how far up the torrent would reach. With a smothered exclamation he flung himself hack Into the saddle. "Come a ig. We must get on a bit.** Clinging with .knee and calf, he literally lifted his ratlike pony over the holes. They bucketed down the last slope and slipped rather than stepped Into the stream bed. Heins was unusually excited. Now they were in for It. he thought! The stream was Already swollen and the ponies were girth deep before they were half way across. The bowlders, worn smooth and altp|>ery. Impeded them “Keep close behind me." ordered’ 4 Heins. “The ford’s narrow. I’ve got to pick the best place." Kt rung to that pitch of tension ■where time la marked by heartbeats hammering on an anvil of bruised sensea. Rosemary clung to the mane. Often she was nearly swept from the taddle. but her mare was gallant. With a heave of strong withers, she breasted It. nostrils wide. In this fashion, swimming till, her hoofs struck the submerged bank, she struggled across and up. shaking herself like a dog as she reached dry ground. One by one. drenched and buffeted, the Riffs struggled across, and llelnx urged them up the cliff. He had set his mind on a certain line of bushes. Surely the flood Would not mount beyond that They must get up there somehow. The Riffs padded silently, dragging their ponies after them. Rosemary hung loose In the saddle, etshtlng nerself automatically against the mare's blunders. Darkness caught them while they were still far short •of the safety line. Heins, least imaginative of men. ■felt his ears were stretched on wires, for the first rumble up the valley. Instead, he heard the breath of Rosemary's mare whistling through bellowed lungs. "Your beast’s blown." be said. ■•You'll have to get off." He lifted her. | the Riffs half polled, half carried her on The forced movement stimulated <he girl. Tm getting my second ■wind.'* she told Heins, as they claml be red through straggling shrubs which made a line along the hillside. She never understood the German's passionate, "Got be thanked!* He mopped Ids shaven head with a sleeve. “Now we shall soon come to the path." They were safe, beyond reach of the destruction Imminent below, but he hurried them on. It was decided that the party should divide. Two RlffS would go back towards the dam. "Keep to the high level," ordered Heins, "and watch ■out." With gusty, guttural sighs and a shivering "Allah, keep us!" the men dragged their soaked djellabas round them and headed Into the south wind. The rest turned north. Once on the path, the going was easier, but, if Weetwyn was ahead, speed, and only speed, could save him. The horses were buckling in. They stumbled at every step. "We’d do better afoot," muttered Heins. There are honsea near," returned a Riff. "Ittsba-Allah. we can get mules there and. if AUah la generous, news ■of the Kald." The German raised a last amble out of his beast and then light glimmered at then from squares -of mud wall, sheltered by a protect- ' tog buttress. It was not necessary to -thunder on the dosed dooes. Dogs gave warnings of their approach and a muffled* figure awaited them, Ms rifle ready. To Rosemary, uncomprehending, the •exchange of question, explanation, and • -comment was interminable. She made tas move to go on. but her mare was routed where she stood, head banging, fiaaks heaving. "Be still." said Hein*. -i not far ahead, and there

Is a short cut." It took some mlnutea, though not as many as Rosemary Imagined, to make the villager understand the urgency of the situation. Once he grasped It. he wasted no more time than was necessary to shout in Shilluh to some one within the yard. A voice answered In the same dialect. Then the mountaineer started, goatlike, straight over the rocks which bounded the path. The Telehdl Riffs followed him and Heins waited only to urge Rosemary, "Stay here, for God’s sake; your husband Is only half an hour ahead. We'll catch him this way—lt's a certainty. but you're finished. You can’t manage it." The girl gestured assent, and watched the dark figures laboring up what appeared to be a sheer wall. Would they be in time? She could not- bear the suspense. Ignoring the hospitable gestures of the women welling out of the house, she started uncertainly up the rocks. Voices called to her. blit she was deaf to their Insistence. Heinx and the others were far above her. but the stars were coming out. candles on a sky of velvet Blindly she stumbled in the wake of the Telehdl men. Her breath came In gasps, and each one hurt her side. Her knees were without feeling. They sagged at mid angles as she forced !h*r feet, laboriously, from step to step. She must reach some high point from which she would have a view! The thought of all she must tell Westwyn. and the terrible fear of that blind Shutter—Too late" —which bars so many prayed-for second chances, drove her up the hill, but she had no Idea of the way. Fortunately. before she was out of sight of the mud quadrangle, her strength gave out and. stumbling over a root she found it lm*M»sslble to rise. There the village women found her and, with a blend of pity and amazement, brought her back to the house. CHAPTER XI Heinx panted stubbornly after the Riffs, but he was a long way behind when they topped the shoulder. The guide turned and called Impatiently. There was a swift colloquy a thong the mountaineers. Finally the local man went on. running with incredible agility down the sheer hillside, leaping from rock to rock, his sandals flapping from his heels. Far away they heard him shout and the sound galvanised them Into fresh endeavor. A Riff caught Heins by the arm and. in a bunch, they crashed downward, oblivious of anything that lay tn their route. "Look out!" yelled a tribesman and pulled up short. In their blind rush they had almost overshot the path. The Riff remained motionless. pointing ahead, llelnx blinked sweat out of his eyes, rubbed them with the back of his hand, and saw a solitary rider silhouetted against the next bend. Beside him stood the guide who had outstrlpi>ed them. The tierman was conscious of Immense stillness. Everything in his body was relaxing. Gott! How tired he was! Amidst the flatness that Is the aftermath of relief, he plodded to speak to Westwyn. The Englishman had grasped the bare facts of Martengo’s plot from the villager who had appeared suddenly above him, like a great bat flapping among the bowlders. "But how did you get here?" he asked, bewildered; and then, taking In I lei nt's appearance. “Good Lord, man. you’re done in!" Dismounting hurriedly, he grasped the German's hand, for the Riffs were involved in simultaneous and dramatic explanation. Their exploit was magnified by success, but their eloquence could not beat Heins’s appearance. A branch had torn a Jagged rent In his forehead ; an unexpected snag ripped open the leather above one knee. He was sodden, his boots still squelching, and his plump cheeks sagged into grooves caked with mud.

ALL-MASH FEED GOOD FdREGGS Poultry keepers who have used the all-mash method of feeding chicks and growing pullets may continue the method for laying pullets. The plan has proyed satisfactory for fall and winter egg production at the Ohio experiment station, and is being used by many successful poultrymen. The ojnly change in the all-mush for egg production, according to D. 0. Kennard, station poultryman. Is to Increase the meat scraps from 5 to 10 per cent and decrease the corn from 70 to 65 per cent. Coarsely ground wheat may be used Instead of middlings in the mash. And for best results. Mr- Kennard would also use inilk in some form. t Success with all-mash feeding the laying pullets, especially for winter eggs, is largely determined by the kind of mixture and mannei of feeding It. The mash should be as granular as possible rather than finely ground; A suitable type of feeder should | provide 20 to 24 feet of eating space per 100 pullets. Fresh mash should be fed daily in the evening, the amount being about what be consumed; during the next 24 hours. Electric lights may be used to advantage. A warm, moist mash fed in the evening, especially in cold weather. may provfi beneficial. Details relative to the all-mush method ot feeding layers may be had by waiting the Ohio experiment station at Wooster. Laying Hens Must Have Ration Rich in Protein During the course of twelve months a high-laying hen will produce from 18 to 25 or more pounds of eggs—»>r from four to seven or more times her own body weight, depending upon the weight of the hen. And it is a wellknown fact that eggs are high In percentage of protein. Logically therefore. it follows that laying hens must be fed a ration which is rich In protein It they are to turn out this amount of protein-rieh product and still maintain the muscle, sinew and blood in their own bodies. »■ Home-grown grains, such as wheat, oats, hurley and corn, while they ail contain a pertain proportion of protein. all rank as carbohydrate-rich necessary to maintain body flesh and provide heat and energy, but lacking In sufficient proportion of protein Ito meet the requirements of heavy egg production Millfeeds, such as brat, and shorts, contain proportionmore protein than do whole grams, hut they., likewise, fail to sup-' ply the needed amount. If the ration fed (to laying hens contains these feeds only, without the addition of some protein-rich supplement, the feeder* cannot expect high egg production; the hen simply cannot produce eggs, but can only turn the carbohydrates into surplus body fat Specialist Tells How to Get Better Eggs Care used in the mating of poultry and in the selection of hatching eggs will in u short time develop a fii>ck that produces practically no inferior eg®?, says L. M. Black, extension speciallist in poultry husbandry, at the college of agriculture of Rutgers university. Experiment has shown that certain characters are transmitted to future layers through the egg. The pullet that is hatched from any particular egg tends to lay the same tyi»e egg as tiipt from which she came. Sm-ces-sful poultrymen take advantage of this fayt and select only tj pleat, large, uniformly colored eggs when setting the incubator. Since silts, too. exert ail influence upon the type of egg laid by the pullets, males selected for,the breeding pens are from ancestors that were noted for their heavy production oi large, uniformly colored and shaped There Is an old German adage Jhich when translated reads. "As the b rd. so is the egg." It probably was n>t originated for poultrymen alone, but it holds great significance for them. Vitamines for Fowls Vitamines should not worry the good poultryman so much in summer a;s tn winter. Green foods and sunshine supply the vitamines that are most apt to be lacking tn the winter ration. During the enrly spring months these factors are aptio t»e lacking unless the poultryman Xakes special pains to see that the birds have green stuff and sunshine. Al |alfa leaves, when put In a rack where fowls may eat them, will help to supply the need for green material. Sunlight Helps Hens Direct sunlight will help the hens to lay strong shelled eggs as well as eggs with a high degreq of batebability. If hens have been closed up they should be turned out Into the sunshine on bright days. If it Is neo essary to keep them close*! up, then, the 'windows should be thrown open during the middle of the day so the direct rays of the sun may get in. Glass substitutes may also be used in •place of eome of toe window glam to let In mo**.

Culling a Flock ' If the birds are bemg culled very closely with the idea of keeping only the highest producers, then all those in the doubtful class should be disposed of. If only the unusually poor bird? are to be sold, then those allowing uncertain characteristics should be kept Any person who will examine a few beuA keeping in mind the characteristics of the good producer, as opposed to those of the poor producer. should be able to cull satisfactorily '---4
