Stevens, was in the chair, and in the absence of Mrs. Chas. Murrell, the minutes were taken by Mrs. Hay_s. 40 members were present along with three visitors. The date of the ar nual meeting was set. for January 13th, and the regular meeting next month will be on the 16th. Mrs. J. P. MacDonald and Mrs C. H. Hare were named to audit the treasurer's books. The report on the recent hope chest raffle showed the undertaking to have been highly satisfactory financially, a profit of $198 was shown on the undertaking. All who donated articles for the chest as well as those who had helped witb the ticket selling were given a vote of thanks. Mrs. Hare reported for the last quarterly meeting of the valley hospital auxiliaries central executive which asked that each auxiliary be sent a report of the monthly meetings of the hospital board of directors.

Q The Canadian Wheat Problem In a recent article a suggestion was made that the time is ripe to make efforts to induce the consumer in Great Britain, and particularly In England, to demand a better quality of bread, in anticipation that the crek- tion of an appetite for a quality loaf would naturally result in greater sales of Western Canadian hard spring wheat in Canada's best, though, -restricting market. The suggestion was based on evidence that this market is narrowing due to a growing taste for more expensive and exotic substitutes for the staff of life throughout Great Britian generally, fortified in England particularly, by ..an appetite for bread of a lower protein content than is contained in flour manufactured from the hard spring wheaf for which the Western prairies is the natural habitat. Since that time further and more potent evidence has come to hand, which not only confirm the statements anent a disquieting trend In the Old Land which, unless stemmed, is bound to adversely affect the interests and welfare of the Western Canadian prairies but, if anything, tends to show that the situation is even more alarming than it might have appeared at first blush. In view of the great importance of this market, the life blood in fact, of Western Canada, no apology is needed for again reverting to the subject in such short tune. The confirmation of this highly undesirable (from the viewpoint of Western Canadian citizens, rural and urban alike) condition existing in Great Britain and other European consumer countries, comes from Sir Francis Floud, British high commissioner to Canada, who, about the middle of December, sounded a warning note to the general effect that Canada is in serious danger of losing the British and European.markets. He gave three principal reasons for his dire assertion and they are as follows: 1. The spread in price between Canadian and Argentine wheat. 2. The growing demand in Great Britain lor fancy breads which are composed of 90 per cent. Argentine soft wheat and 10 per cent. Canadian hard wheat. ' 3. The falling population of the civilized countries of the world. In his comments before the Commerce Club of the "University of Toronto, Sir Francis Floud drew a dark picture of the outlook, in which he pointed out that in recent years the proportion of Canadian wheat taken by Great Britain has been dwindling steadily while the price spread between Argentine and Canadian wheat has been widening, to the detriment of the latter in a country which is noted for the policy of its industrial and_commercial interests of buying in the cheapest markets. "I am sorry to say this, gentlemen," Sir Francis is quoted as saying, "but the outlook for Canada as an agrarian nation is both bleak and difficult, and until economists solve the present baffling international trade problems the future for Canadian wheat is a very serious problem." Practically on the same date news despatches announced at least a temporary removal of one of these barriers to continued losses in the British market, in reports of crop failures in the Argentine, coupled -with the announcement that the Argentine government had fixed the price of its wheat at 90 cents a bushel, placing it on a parity -with the better quality Canadian wheat. This resulted in a sudden demand for Canadian wheat and an immediate advance in price. "While this, of course, is satisfactory, while this situation lasts, it should Va.������_ <���������"*<?> Svi-t-^s-l *-x\ iir -t-l>���������*���������������- "if* ������v%������������***������ rf-������v*1**t������ Tr-mO. o _-.QTv_'r_*-v**>*i_.������*i-r oifitofinvi -n v**.***! cs"V������*\i"i1^ '���������"i*****.'!"

Indeed, with the prices of Argentine soft wheat and Canadian hard what more closely in balance it might well be argued that there is no better time than the present to demonstrate to the British consumer that it is possible to produce the most tasty of fancy breads from Canadian wheat and to cultivate a demand for high quality along with devices for tickling the palate. In considering this phase of the problem it should also be borne in mind that a short crop in the Argentine now may be followed 12 months hence by a bumper yield in that country and that the Arrgentine government's action in pegging the price of its wheat at a fairly high level may be renounced at any time, even before another crop is ready for the market. A further factor in the situation is the likelihood of substantial, perhaps heavy wheat crops being reaped in Western Canada in the next few years, in which event this country will require expanding, instead of the recent contracting, demands for her wheat in the consumer countries. Authorities declare that the drought of the past few years is definitely broken, and with the grasshopper menace receding and a promise of a rust resistant wheat in commercial quantities within the next year or two, there is reasonable belief for anticipating that Western Canada will have more wheat to export than has been available in the past few years. The only alternatives to creating consumer demand are to cultivate new markets or to devote attention to production of other commodities. Perhaps the solution of the problem is to bo found in a combination of all. Problem For Hungary How To Bring Back Echo Whicb Has /:���������.,��������� '"Been Lost All the "world loves an echo, and Hungary i3 mourning a lost love. The echo was last heard at Lake Balaton, where tourists used to put it through its paces and listen with delight when it repeated, with additions, their lightest utterance. This was an industrious echo. Nothing seemed to exhaust it while the supply of tourists lasted, and it would go on cheerfully all day long without a pause. Then, as if weary of well-doing, it dwindled and died. The inhabitants of the region, disturbed by the loss of revenue, invited professors and scientists to say where it had gone, and what the possibilities were of bringing it back. Few things a^e more elusive than an echo. A lost echo is hard to recover, but the scientists were not to be defeated. ���������> The professors suggested that tho trees growing in the neighborhood had first blanketed the sound and finally, as they grew up, had stifled it. But a delicate problem is now set to those who would call the echo back. The trees might be cut down and the echo yet be shy. Then the lake would lose both its echo and its trees. Proves Earth Is Round Seeking Information , ., m Halifax Business And Professional Men Studying Social Credit A number of Halifax business and professional men have organized a group for a study of the principles of Social Credit, according to Edward S. Dixon, manager of the Halifax tourist bureau. He denied a report that a new political party for Nova Scotia was in the making. "That's ridiculous," he asserted. "We are not forming a party. We merely want to see what is in the Social Credit plan." He added that the group, number- in gabout a dozen, had been formed nf et at-ftAwr r������lnT"������ Picture Taken From Stratosphere Clearly Shows Curved Line' New visual proof that the world is round, shown in a stratosphere picture snapped at almost 14 miles* above the earth's surface, was displayed in Washington by the National Geographic Society.

Army Ants In Malaya Have System Of Crossing That many ants in Malaya operate with military precision and march in lines that seem interminable has been reported by Carveth Wells. Rivers are. no obstacles to them, he says. The main body of the army waits at the bank of the river while scouts reconnoitre and choose a bend where the current sweeps diagonally across the stream. The ants then torm themselves into a ball the size of a coconut, which rolls over into the water. As the current carries the living ball across, it keeps rolling over and over, so that each ant re ceives only a momentary ducking. The instant the ball touches the other side it collapses, and the ants scramble ashore, reform their ranks an*l continue their march. A well bred man conceals how much he thinks of himself and how little ho thinks of others.

Member Sends Greetings Once again the Christmas Season is upon us and I hasten to avail myself of the courtesy of the "Creston Review" to extend to all its readers my sincerest hope���������That, this Christmas Season may bring to them, one and all, a, larger measure of good cheer. And to those who have suffered severely in recent years I trust there may be a lifting of the clouds and evidences of a brighter day. I am profoundly impressed with the convicton that most of our economic and social problems find their origin in the selfishness of man. In other words, greed for wealth and power will dull the better feelings in a man and cause him to disregard the rights and the welfare of his neighbors. Therefore it is well for us at this Christmas Season to recall to mind the principles and teachings of the Carpenter of Nazareth, for in these alone can we find the real antidote to human avarice. It is, then, in a spirit of Goodwill, to All Men" that I address this message to all who may read it. : H. H. STEVENS Our K, B. 0.

In the first game the so-far unbeaten High School girls were downed by the City Reps. "17-28, and Groceteria was beaten by Loallo 27-25. The girls game was not very interesting and was particularly rough. High School did not get going at all, and every {nlayer seemed to ne playing her own ittle individual game. High girls had plenty of shots at the basket but could not convert them. Nine penalties wero called on High School as compared with five on the City Reps. The latter played a nice game and seemed to be bombarding the bsskei all evening. Mary Abbott played first-class ball, making four baskets and converting one penalty. She was not only shooting well rut was feeding her team mates in order to give them a chance to score. Agnes Crane and Betty Speers played well. Teams: High School���������T. Tompkins 3, R.

The Groceteria-Loallo game provided good money's worth in excitement and thrills. The former worked hard but had only four of the regulars out. Des. Truscott completed the quint: and play* ed well. Bill Bourdon also put up a fine exhibition. The Grocery squad was too rough and sloppy on the passing. Loallo displayed about the nicest combination ol the season and Maddess could not miss the basket at all, making 12 points. Jim Da'e was also effective, garnering severs points.

O, WORLD HAPPENINGS BRIEFLY TOLD U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau announced the receipt of $230,453 from Finland in full payment of its war debt instalment. Twenty-six men were drowned or frozen to death in a blizzard -which swept Iceland recently. Twenty persons still are missing-. New Zealand government railways have ordered eight streamlined electric locomotives to be built by the English Electric Company of "London. A stone cross and small memorial chapel will be set up on the bank of the Lake of Lucerne where Queen Astrid of Belgium was killed in a motor accident. Arthur Henderson, former Labor - leader and president of the world disarmament conference, left a net estate of $115,000, it was revealed. He died October 20. The entire estate was willed to his widow. Primo Laurenoetti may be Italian but he's not a Fascist. And that's why he was in hospital suffering from severe head and body injuries. He shouted: "Down with Mussolini!" at a Fascist meeting in Montreal. "In a round-up of "scorchers" police detained 5,253 Berlin bicyclists. The purpose was to show them" that bicycling speeding will not be tolerated. All were warned, and 2.832 were fined. A gold nugget weighing 13 kilograms and 787 grams (about 30 pounds), declared by the Soviet press to be the largest ever found anywhere during- this century, has been discovered in the Ural gold fields. More people were killed on British. highways during- election week than in any other week this year. The total of 165 was. 32 more than the previous -week and 25 more than the corresponding period in 1934. Christmas Trees Million Homes Will Be Decori-ted For' Yuletide Season Christmas trees are now in season again, and Canada expects to ship nearly four million of them to the United States this year to help decorate the homes of American families and to spread Christmas cheer in the hearts of thousands. In addition, it is estimated that anywhere from 500,000 to 1,000,000 Canadian homes are adorned during the Yuletide Season with trees from Canadian woodlands. Last year the United States Imported 3,681,439 Christmas trees from Canada at a cost of $375,286, and early reports of shipments of these trees from Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick indicate the supply %"ill be considerably larger this year than ever before. In Eastern Canada the favorite trees for Christmas are young firs or spruce, about ten feet in height. In British Columbia the young Douglas fir is the most popular. Cedar, hemlock, juniper and pine of tender growth are also used when the more favoured species are not readily available. The spicy odour of the balsam fir, with its short, flat, lacquered leaves of dark green, which render it easy to decorate, make it particularly suitable for use as a Christmas tree. Thc origin of the use of trees for decorative purposes at Christmas time is lost in antiquity. The custom is believed to have been adopted from pagan ceremonies, but it is only in comparatively recent times that the Christmas tree has become popular in North America and the British Isles. Since the introduction of strings of coloured electric lights for illumination the use of trees for decorative purposes both inside tho home and on the veranda or front lawn has becomo more popular. New Royal Bank Appointments B. L. Mitchell, James Muir And Harold G. Healer Made Assistant General Managers Appointment of Mr. Burnham L. Mitchell, Mr. James Muir and Mr. Harold G. Hesler, as Assistant General Managers of The Royal Bank of Canada, is announced. Mr. Mitchell, a native of Merigom- ish, N.S., and since 1934 supervisor of Ontario branches, becomes assistant general manager following a long and extensive career with the bank in many parts of Canada and Newfoundland. He joined the Union Bank of Halifax in 1903, serving as a junior at the New Glasgow branch. When the Union Bank was absorbed by The Royal Bank of Canada in 1910, Mr. Mitchell was moved to Halifax, and two years later became accountant of that branch. In 1915, he was appointed manager of the St. John's, Newfoundland branch, following two years' service as assistant manager there. Between 1919 and 1925, he served successively as manager at Halifax and at Vancouver; in 1929 he was appointed manager at Toronto; and five years later supervisor of Ontario branches. As assistant general manager, Mr. Mitchell will continue to supervise Ontario branches from headquarters at Toronto. Mr. James Muir, for the past four years general inspector of The Royal Bank of Canada, is a native of Scotland. Like Mr. Mitchell, he has been engaged in the profession of banking since boyhood, and has served the bank in the Dominion and New York. Mr. Muir joined The Royal Bank of Canada at Moose Jaw in 1912, after serving three years with the Commercial Bank of Scotland, Ltd., and one year with the chartered bank of India in London, England. In 1916 he was transferred to the inspector's department at Winnipeg-, and later in the same year became accountant in the Winnipeg- Grain Exchange branch. In 1917 he -was transferred to the Credit Department, Head office, and appointments as inspector, supervisor's department, Winnipeg-, and as assistant supervisor at New York, followed in quick succession. His location in New York as assistant supervisor of the bank's business in Central and South America extended over three years. In 1928 he returned to Winnipg as manager. His appointment as general inspector, with headquarters in Montreal, followed in December 1931. Mr. Harold G. Kesler, secretary of The Royal Bank of Canada, -was born \ in Humberstone, Ont., and joined the Welland branch of. the? bank as a junior in 1910. He served in various capacities in several branches throughout Ontario until 1915, when he was transferred to Winnipeg*. After enlistment in 1916 and service overseas, he rejoined the bank at the Havana branch in July 1919, and shortly after was appointed accountant at Cienfuegos, Cuba. The following- year he was transferred to the supervisor's department, Havana, and in 1928 became joint manager of Havana branch. In 1930, Mr. Hesler was moved to head office, Montreal, where he has since been closely in touch with the bank's foreign business, having visited personally many of the bank's foreign branches as well as the more important offices across the Dominion. He was appointed general inspector in 1931. The appointments of Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Muir and Mr. Hesler become effective immediately. SEES THU KING ] Sir Robert Vansittart, permanent British Under-Secretary of the foreign office, who participated with Sir Samuel Hoare and Premier Laval of France at the meeting in which the joint peace plan was drafted, had an audience with the King. The peace plan hac been generally condemned by other members of the League. The Town Of Santa Clans SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON DECEMBER 29 "REVIEW Golden text: The lovirigkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children's children. Psalm 103:17. Devotional reading-: Psalm 126i Post Office In Indiana Swamped With Christmas Mail Meet the man who discovered Santa Claus, the town of Santa Claus, that is. Bill Herscheil, Hoosier reporter, song writer and poet, with h!s ruddy face and somewhat expanded low chest, might well pass for good Saint Nicholas himself, given some white whiskers, a red suit and cap and a reindeer team. It was not in that gruise, however, but as a reporter that Bill drove into little town of Santa Claus in the southern Indiana hill country 32 years ago. "What town is this?" asked Bill. "Santa Claus," said one of the 30 or so inhabitants. Bill went back to Indianapolis to write a story which drew world attention to the then almost isolated village. The town's fame has grown until now the job of postmaster at Santa Claus this time year of year becomes one which overtaxes the local community. Special stamping machines are brought in and a trained post office official is sent there to aid Oscar L. Philipps, postmaster. As many as 100,000 pieces of mail are handled a day. It comes addressed to "postmaster, Santa Claus, Ind." and includes material for remailing to persons and places all over the world. This great picture of the Suffering Servant of Jehovah, given in the 53rd chapter of Isaiah has nothing corresponding to it in Israel's history until Jesus the Christ lived and suffered and died. What is ihe picture ? He was despised and rejected of men; doing on the night of the writing on He was wounded for our transgressions; what follows here? All we like sheep have gone astray; complete this verse. He was oppressed, yet when he was afflicted���������what happened? By oppress'on and judgment he was taken away; how did those of his generation consider it all? Over in Tibet the name of the only newspaper there is translated into our language as "The Mirror of the New Vicissitudes of Every Corner of Tii'.s Universe." One issue contained an article which proposed to,cure one of the most troublesome vicissitudes ���������unemployment���������by having wheels abolished in the western world; then the unemployed could become ricki- sha runners! Jeremiah was called by God to be his agent in preachings against the "vicissitudes" of his day. He was set over the nations, to pluck up and to break down, and to destroy and to overthrow, but he -was also to build and to plant, but not by any Tibetan method; How was he encouraged to undertake his difficult task ? How was he persecuted? When the priests and the prophets declared him worthy of death, what did he say to them? See to it that in your own immediate relatione���������to your kith and kin, to your masters and servants and associates in business, and to all those whom, you encounter in the common ways of life���������you cherish and practise the utmost fair play. See that you shrink from taking a mean, unfair, underhand, advantage of any other man: be fastidious that he gets as good a chance as yours. And with this let there "be no frontier to your good will. These words are the admonitions of a preacher of righteousness to the people of to-day. When Jeremiah told his people to amend their ways, what did he bid not do and what do? What is our saying about experi= ence being a dear school? Does one usually profit by the experience of others ? What king of Babylon failed to profit by the experience of a predecessor? What was that predecessor's name, and what befell him.? What -were Belshazzar and his lords what is the remainder of this verse? the wall? Who interpreted the writ- inj? to him ? What was his fate ?

O'B., in Chicago Daily News, says: "One of the big insurance companies is inviting people to take a 50-mile-an-houf pledge. I am tempted to accept the invitation. I have done more than my share of fast driving. I have scooted across open country at 80 m.p.h. and better; but I've come to the conclusion that there is no sense in it. The normal cost in fuel, tires and mechanical wear is doubled at this speed. It is reasonable to suppose therefore, that the wear and tear on the driver is no less considerable. I'm inclined to believe that 400 miles in seven hours will harden the arteries much more than thc same distance in 10 hours." An electrical company announces that radio can cure lame muscles and joints. What about aching ears? "Pardon mtf," said the stranger, 'are you a resident here?" "Yes," was the answer, "I've been How Ihe Turkey Changed Christmas Fare Gift Of The North American Continent To The Festive Board Among theculinary jgifts from the aboriginal inhabitants of Norfifct America to the white man���������cornmeal foods, pemmican, succotash, pumpkins, squash, sweet potatoes, fish and: wild fowl and clams and beans baked in clay, maple syrup and maple sugar ���������roast turkey stands supreme. Nearly three hundred years have passed since the American turkey displaced the vaunted Sir Loin and Baron of Beef from their proud positions on the British Christmas table and vanquished forever the claims of roast guinea fowl, quail, cranes and swans as the Christmas masterpiece of the festive board. Indeed, to-day, so- dominant is the North American bird that Christmas throughout the English, speaking world is not Christmas* without a turkey. The earliest documentary evidence of the Americanization of European dietary is set forth in an ecclesiastic cal ordinance by Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, in which, is* mentioned "the turkey-cocke" as one of "the greater fowles" of which an. ecclesiastic was to have "but one on a dishe." The learned Archbishop could not have referred to "ye Canadian turkey-cocke," for the Canadian turkey is a notable bird capable of supplying: sustenance to many, and what a generous repast! Browned to a nicety, fragrant as a zephyr from. Ceylon's Isle, and towering in regal mien above the portentous platter, the Canadian turkey is a feast for a king-. And also a feast for the mind, for with consummation comes the spirit of Christmas, and all men are brothers. Tranquility, harmony, concord. Peace to men of Good Will. The Canadian turkey is famous for its taste and bountiful proportions, and thousands each year,grace the Old Country Christmas board, over and above the many, thousands on Canadian Christinas tables. The export of turkeys and other poultry-to Great Britain has assumed very large proportions, as a result of the fine reputation ; gained by the shipments of previous years. The average weight of a box of turkeys for export is 125 pounds, while the aver-. age box of chickens weighs 60 pounds. From January 1 to November 24 of this year (1935) no less^ than 42,029 boxes of poultry were exported, in comparison with 13,712 boxes in the corresponding period of 1934. This, of course does noj; include the large Christmas trade now in progress. 50 ye**** rs.

SYNOPSIS Here is an absorbing- and exciting ���������story of a fight against stubborn prejudice and a bitter personal malignancy���������of a girl and a man battling ridicule, sabotage, bullets, and the treachery that would turn them ���������against each other. The story opens with Link 'Fleming addressing a meeting- of Boone ���������County cattlemen, called together with the object of forming an irrigation company. Roper Kilgo, the boss of the Raw- -hide and nearby ranges, who seemed to approve the plan, but was really opposed to it, had forced Soak Torney, a derelict mining engineer, whom Kilgo knew would be called upon to .gfive his expert opinion in favor of the ���������scheme, to reverse his earlier endorsement, and declare that irrigation in Boone county so far as Hamilton s plan was concerned, was only a newfangled way to waste" money. (Now Go On With The Story) CHAPTER II.���������Continued As she did not answer at once jn-upei." ioliowed he*.' eyes. tc-rsrt ������ ,��������� been tryin* to hogtie the boys on a scheme to water the whole county. Can yuh beat that? Crazy, I call it. But he's bullheaded, ain't yuh, Link? Might have put it over, too," he chuckled derisively, "but Soak Torney shore pricked his balloon, and saved the boys about sixty thousand bucks, I reckon!" .There was a brief silence. "I know about it, Roper," Helen returned quietly. "Im in favor of irrigation, too. It's the only way to improve our ranches." "In favor of it? A loco stunt like that ? But how���������I mean, gosh, where'd you hear-about/it?" "Link talked irrigation to me a long time ago and* I told him nothing doing. Then," Buzz rasped accusingly, "he figured he could work on my s'ster just 'cause she's a girl. Prob'ly thought if he got her talked into it, she'd swing me." But by gosh I won't���������" v "Oh, Buzz, please don't make a scene!" Kilgo rubbed his chin. "So Link wrote her, eh? That's shore plenty o' crust, correspondin* with yore sister and hidin' it from yuh!" He jerked his ear as if reflecting swiftly. "Darned if I'd stand for that, Bu-"���������T'm dan-red if I would!" ���������'Hold on. There wasn't anything , underhand about it at all," the Star Loop owner declared coolly. Helen hung back as Kilgo reached out to tako her arm. "I want to talk this ovor with Mr. Fleming. You soo, I'm really serious about it. Why, it wiil be wonderful���������It will mako our spread twice as valuable. I���������" "Yuh got no call to write my sis- tor J" This fact seemed to stick In tho man's mind, spurring him to docpor wrath as seconds ticked away. Buzk's faco was dark, and thc twitching of a cheek rmusclo showed him scarcely able to control himself. Ho turned on Roper. "Has ho?" "Nerviest thing I ovor hcai-d! Don't know's I like It mysolf," ho growled. "Everybody knows Halon and I practically had things settled before she went away with yore dad. I been wait'ln' two yoars and gettin' ready. ���������Course, I ain't hor brother like you tiro. It's up to you how yuh aim to tako this libro hitch-fcr^nco.*"' -"Ploaso!" , Embarrassment sent waves of crimson stealing over hor smooth chocks. "Link, If you aro starting to your spread/' sho said hesitantly, "f���������I'm going that way too. Perhaps we could talk about "it and���������" "You're not ridin* out with him; I ain't goin* to have it!' He swung on Fleming. "Just about yore size���������this sneakin' lobo stuff!" Link had almost reached the limit of his patience.- It was only by exerting every ounce of control that he restrained himself from .lashing out with a hard fist at the man's chin. His gaze riveted on the glittering blue-grey eyes as with set jaw he answered in a cold, level tone. "You've got this all wrong. Our correspondence started by accident. And I don't like insults. Is that plain?;' Buzz stepped back. Malevolence glittered its frosty warning as swiftly he noted the position of Buster Townsend, who stood waiting for his employer, then of Helen, Kilgo, and Link. A transformation seemed to take place inside the man. His hollow cheeks drained of blood and his lower lip* quivered with unspeakable fury. "Damn you!" he screamed. 'Til teach you to monkey with my. sister and plot to grab, our spread!" Suddenly, loosing a wolfish snarl, he plunged for his Colt. "Buzz!" Helen flung out both hands to stop his draw. Fearful lest she be shot, and wholly Ignoring his own imminent danger, Link also plunged forward to grasp her shoulder and jerk her out of harm*s way. Wham! The room reeled With, the force of a pounding explosion. A grey cloud of acrid powder smoke wafted to their nostrils, blurred vis'on. Fleming, unhurt, probed puzzledly from.-one taut countenance to the next. He staggered and all but lost his balance as Buster struck him with blunt force, both.hands clutched to his middle. , "I���������got it!" he gasped. Twisting and writhing in agony, the Star Loop foreman lurched two steps, then sprawled on hia side at their feet. <"TX A TaTWD TfT */***������* m.MAJJ.\. J1J. Helen Hamilton uttered a.horrified gasp. .��������� Kilgo's expression' of" satisfaction changed swiftly to dismay as he fell back, startled. Two men orr the sidewalk outside halted to peer through., the hazy window. Spying Buster on the floor, they came on the run through the front door of the hotel. As for Buzz, the report of his own weapon had the effect of a severe shock. With brows knit, he stared from, it, a wisp of smoke curling from its muzzle, to Townsend. His seamed face swept grey. He flung a quick look around, whirled, and started out of the place. Link would have" made after but just then the newcomers seized Hamilton. With a hard jerk Sheriff Stephen wrenched the Colt away and jammed it inside his own belt. The next moment Ames had hla man prisoner with manacles locked over both wrists. "Dead, Link?", "No. But he's hurt bad. Seems to have got it In the stomach." He turned to Gaines, the hotel clerk. "Ab.'run for Doc Slater, quick!" Townsend's chubby face was pale under its coat of range tan, and his eyes were closed. He had ceased twitching to lie as one in a coma. Link stooped, picked up the man as if he weighed half his hundred and seventy pounds, and strode with him across the lobby to a leather lounge, Thore, as tenderly as possible, he laid him down. "Givo. him a shot o' this, Link." With shaking hand Roper offered a half-filled flask ho had taken from his pocket. Fleming accepted It, and aftor extracting tho cork, pressed tho bottle opening to Bustor's lips, Tho brown whisky trickled down his chocks but soma, Link thought, pono- trated tho tightly-set lips. Thore was a bustlo behind as roly- poly Dr. Slater puffed In. "Cot back, gents! Sheriff, better clear tho lobby., Ono thing the human animal sure needs to live���������air. Now thonl" Thei practitioner dropped his bag and frowning, got on big. knees. Ho glanced ovor hia' shoulder. "Bring tliat girl horo. Womon aro handy at this kind of thing. Need a man too. Hore, Kilgoi you can hand me tho instruments." v "Wh-whaf; goin' to do, Dec Y" "Operate of course! Think thin follow can digest lend ? Hm," he mut tered, shaking his head doubtfully. 'Don't know. . . Bleedta' pretty hard. Bad place, too." Helen Hamilton was at Slater's side, her lips pressed firmly together, trying to force herself not to shudder at the death-like pallor of the man her brother had shot. Doc looked at her and grunted. "You got grit enough, I reckon. Don't be scared at lots, of blood." . "Doc, I���������" Roper gulped while he kept his eyes averted from the wounded man. 'T don't know if I can���������Gosh, I'm liable to keel over!" he exclaimed in panic. * The- physician ?_gave a disgusted snort. "Here, somebody else���������Link! Hold this pan. Thanks, Gaines: that's using your head for somethin' useful. Only man that thought of hot water in -the whole crowd! Now then. Easy, Btuster. .'-. Won't hurt much. Ah, it's there, eh ? Wonder if it went clear into v .." There was a moment of taut silence; Fleming's eyes met those of the girl over Dr. Slater's shiny bald plate. Her face was white as a sheet of paper, but when he nodded ques- tiongly toward the door she shook her head. t Link himself by no means relished this sort of thing. Buster was groaning and gasping in pain, fearful of the doctor's very touch. Suddenly Slater turned around. "Ain't goin* weak like1 Kilgo, are you?" "No." "Link," he whispered, 'T got totry a damned delicate operation to save that boy's life. Need two of you. Think the girl can stand it?" "Tt was her brother shot Townsend, Doc. But I reckon she's ihe game kind." He whistled. "Her brother? That scamp Stephen grabbed? Ought to make, him watch it,* that's what Ames oughta do!" While he spoke he wa.tched Buster carefully. *T ain't got a drop o* ether or chloroform. Give me that gun of years, Link." Fleming drew the weapon and handed it over, butt first. Puzzled as to Doc's intent, he watched him twirl the Colt until he grasped its cold barrel. . Suddenly Doc leaned toward Towns- end. He struck out, butt first. There was a low thump that, made Buster jerk. Then he relaxed,. unconscious. Helen Hamilton clutched a hand to her throat. But she stifled the cry that sought freedom. She was game! "Now we start. Young lady, you sponge that wound. Careful! But keep it open and clear; I got to gee what I'm. doing. I'm after that slug. Might take a minute to find it. Hated to soak him like that but he couldn't have stood the pain. Nobody likes cold steel pokin' around their stomach." As he spoke he fished a sharp, gleaming - instrument from his kit, dipped it in the whisky bottle, and leaned over his patient. He probed until blood covered his instrument, then withdrew it. Helen's face was like a pale mask and her dark eyes betrayed the sympathetic pain she felt. Doc Slater tried again. "U*h!'' he grunted. "Here, girl���������drop that rag. Put your two fingers���������so. Wait now. . .! all right���������pull easy! Ah- ah!" Again he busied himself, grunting. But his quick, d<jf t fingers made short work of closing the wound and bandaging it. "Fine. You can tell your husband when you got ono, you operated on a man.

Slater exclaimed. With a gasp that wavered and died Helen stepped back, her eyes closed. But for Fleming's watchfulness she would have fallen. Ke gathered her slight body in his arms, hurried to another lounge, and laid her gently upon it. (To Be Continued) Royal Castle Now Hotel Was Once Some Of Queen Alexandra In Denmark . Once the home of the late Queen Alexandra and her sister, the late Empress Dagmar of Russia, mother of the murdered Czar, the beautiful royal castle of Hvidore, in Denmark, is to be converted into a hotel and restaurant. Queen Alexandra acquired It in 1905. Two years later she built a big open fireplace in one of the drawing-rooms. There Is an inscription in the mantelpiece reading: "East or West���������Home is Best," with the sign A. (Alexandra). At one time it was rumored that the castle would be acquired by King George, but owing to his ill-health, it is.stated, the purchase was never accomplished. Entertained Full House The Duchess of Kent entertained a "full house" for dinner on a recent Sunday night. Guests were King George and Queen Mary, of England; King Haakon VII. and Queen Maud, of Norway, and King Christian X., of Denmark.

That is the way to he immovable in the midst of troubles, as a rock amidst the wayes. When God is in the midst of a kingdom or city He makes it firm as Mount Zion, which cannot be removed. When He is In the midst of a soul, though calamities throng about it on all hands and roar like the billows of the sea, yet there is a constant calm within, such a peace as the world cannot give nor take away.
