U REORGANIZATION BILL IS HAVING HARD TIME (Continued from page 1) understards that it dare not go back of their wishes to include “welfare” with “education.” For these, and other reasons of similar naturc, Senator Smoot is doubtless correct when ke states that the reorganization measure has little if any chance of passage next year. If, as seems probable, its friends can force the Townnnbtcrhng bill to a vote early in the coming session, at leasts one obstacle will be removed from the path of the reorganization measure. 1 ELKS CLUB IS PLANNING - BIG TIME MONDAY NIGHT All members of the Bemidji lodge & of Elks and their lady friends have 3 received invitations to spend Mon- 2 day evening at the Elk’s club rooms.

(6) Request of the man ‘whom He healed (vv, 38, 39). He desired to be with Jesus.

Her personal reminiscences of Edwin Booth reached " their climax in her recitation of an apostrophe in verse to the great actor. A voice from out the past, indeed, and its magical effect upon the audi- ence gathered at Stratford is ample testimony to the truth that the great backgrounds in art and human life are not blotted out by the intense preoc- cupation in things of the present which seem to fill the picture.

One often speaks of a ring being 14-karat gold or of 22 or 18karat watch cases or jewelry, but not all know jast what is meant by 14, 18 or 22 carfit. Gold is divided into 24 parts—that is, pute gold is sald to contain 24 karats—the karat being just a meas- urement term. A ring or watch case marked 14k or 18k means that 14 or 18 parts of it are pure gold, the bal- ance of the 24 karats being some sort It articles of jewelry were made of pure gold they would not wear well, as gold is a very soft metal, I and it 'is, therefore, necessary to mix the gold with some harder sup- stance, Prospecting for Gold. Sometimes gold shed from reefs 1s obtained near the surface of river beds; at other times the gold is found near rock bottom, or again the pre- cious metal may even occur in an old river bed now covered with lava, as| in the case of the “deep leads” of Cali- forhia and Victoria. The method of discovering an allu- wvial deposit is obvious, but if the pros- pector is searching for a reef he fol-| lows the gold upstream by repeated | “panning” until he creases to obtain any “colors” (particles) of gold. Then | i he strikes inland from either hand un-' til he “strikes” (meets) a reef or the gold ceases. In the latier case the reef may be covered up, and so the prospector, by a series of “pannings,” decides upon the “strike” or course of the reef and cuts a trefich at right angles down to solid “country” (rock in its orig- inal situation), when the reef will be “cut” or exposed. The true: prospector is an optimist— who never tires of trying agaim. “Shocking.” “Waiter! Waiter!” shouted n young fellow, who for the last half hour had been wrestling with a steak, but failed to get his knife through it. p! “Yes, sir!” said the waiter, coming forward. “How do you cook your food in this | the glass place?” asked the youns man. “Well, sir, all our food is cooked by electricity,” an: vered the waiter. “Then—lere,” said the young man, “take t back and give it nnnthu‘ | ‘Bbock.” " —AContinued from lam Smne) Moreover, bad as the choya was for man, it was infinitely worse for beast. A jJagged stab from this poisoned cac- tus was the only thing Blanco Sol could not stand. Many times that day, before he carried Mercedes, he had wildly snorted, and then stood trem- bling while Gale picked broken thorns from the muscular legs. But after Mercedes had been put upon Sol Gale made sure no choya touched him. The afternoon passed like the morn- ing, in ceaseless winding and twist- ing and climbing along this abandoned trail. Gale saw many waterholes, mostly dry, some containing water, all of them catch-basins, full only after rainy season,. Littie ugly bunched bushes, that Gale scarcely recognized as mesquites, grew near these holes; also stunted greasewood and prickly pear. There was no grass, and.the choya aloné flourished in that hard soil. Darkness overtook the party as they unpacked beside a pool of water deep under an Overhanging shelf of lava. It had been a hard day. The horses drank their fill, and then stood pa- tiéntly with drodping heads. Hunger and thirst were appeased, and a warm fire cheered the weary and footsore fugitives. Yaqui sald, “Sleep.” And 80 another night passed. . . s * 2 s e Upon the following mornihg, ten miles or more up the slow-ascending lava slope, Gale was in the rear of all the other horses, so as to take, for Mercedes’ sake, the advantage of the broken trail. Yaqul was leading Dlablo, winding around a break. His head .was_bent as he siepped slowly and unevenly . upon the lava.” Gale turned to look back, the first time in several days. He thought, of course, of Rojas in certain pursuit; but it seemed absurd. to look for him. Yaqui led ‘on, and Gale often glanced up from hig, tas& to watch the Indian. Presently ¢ saw him stop, turn, and look back.- Eadd’ did likewise, and then Jim ‘and*Thorne. Gale found the desire irresistible. Thereafter he often rested Blanco Sol, and looked back the while. He had his field- glass, but did not choose to use it. “Rojas will follow,” sald Mercedes. i Gale reguded her. in amaze. The tone of heéFtolice had been indefinable. If there Wefé fear then he failed to detect it. She was gazing back down the colored slope, and something about her, perhaps the steady, falcon gaze of her magnificent eyes, reminded him of Yaqul. Many times-during the ensuing hour the Indian faced about, and always his followers did Hkewise. It was high noon, with the sun beating hot and the lava radiating heat, when Yaqui halted for a rest. The horses bunched and drooped their heads. The rangers were about to slip the packs and re- move saddles when Yaqul restrained them. He fixed a changeless, gleaming gaze on the slow descent; but did not seem to look afar. Suddenly_ he uttered his strange cry—the one Gale considered involun- tary, or else significant of some tribal trait qr feeling. Yaqul pointed down the lava slope, pointing with finger end arm and neck and head—his whole being seemed to have been nnl- mated and then frozen. “Shore he sees somethin’” sald Ladd. “But my eyes are no good.” “T reckon I ain’t sure of mine,” re- plled Jim. “I'm bothered by a dim movin’ streak down there.” Thorne gazed eagerly down as he stood beside Mercedes, who sat mo- tionless faeing the slope. Gale looked and looked till he hurt his eyes. Then he took his. glass‘ out of its case on Sol's saddle. There appeared to be nothing upon the lava but“the innumerable dots of | choya shining 4n the sun. Gale swept his glass - slowly forward and back. Then into a nearer field of vision crept a long whiteand-bla¢k line of horses and men. ' Without & word he handed Ladd. ‘The ranger used ©It, mutterfg ‘to_himself, “They'rdi on .the lava down in line,” he ly. “Jim, 3 they’re t more acc the trail.” Jim had: look and geplied: “I reckon welte.a day an'-a fight in the lead.” “Is 1t ojns"' burst out Thorne - with set Jaw:’ “Yes, Thorne. 1It's Rojrs and a dozen or more,” replied Gale, and he looked up at Mercedes. She was transformed. She might have been a medieval princess em- bodying all the Sparish power and passion of that time, breathing re- venge, hate; unquenchabdle spirit of fire. If her beauty had been wonder- | ful in her helpless and appealing mo- ments, now; when' she looked back white-faced and flame-eyed, it was transcendent. Gale drew a long, deep breath. The mood Whith™, resaged ‘pnrsult‘ strife, blood on'‘this ‘somber desert, returned to him tenfold.. He saw Thorne’s face corded by black veins, and his teeth exposed like those of a snarling wolf. These rangers, who and had dealt it often, were white as no fear or pain could have made them. Then, on the moment, Yaqui raised his hand, not clenched or doubled. tight, but curled rigid like an esgles claw; and he shook it In a strange, slow ges- ture which was menacing and terrible. 1t was the woman that called to the depths of these men. And their .pas- sion to kill and’to save was surpassed only by the iwild hate which was yet love, the unhmomable emotion of a peon slave,!'!!.@ale ‘marveled at it while he felt hl whole belng cold and tense, as he ‘turned once more to fol-’ yt his leaders. The fight predicted. by Belding was at hand. What a fight that“must be! Rojas wal trave eliug ght.and fast. He was galnlng. He hnq bought his men with gold,' with extrhvngnnt promises, per. haps ‘with offers’of the body and blood of an aristocrat hateful to their kind. Lastly, there was the wild, desolate enviroement, a tortured wilderness of jagged lava and poisoned choya, & lonely, fierce and repellent world, a red stage most somberly and fittingly colored for a supreme struggle be- tween men. Yaqui looked back no more. Mer- cedes looked back no more. But the other looked, and the time came when Gale saw the creeping line of pur- suers with naked eyes. A level line above marked the rim of the plateau. Sand began to show In the little lava pits. On and upward toiled the cavalcade, still very slowly advancing. At last Yaqui reached the rim. He stood with his hand on Blanco Diablo; and both .were silhou- etted against the sky. That was the outlook for a Yaqui. And his great That Was the Outlook for a Yaqul. horse, dazzlingly White in the sun- lght, with ' head- wildly and proudly erect, 'miane’‘and tail flying in the witd, niade a magnificent picture. The others toiled on and upward, and -at last Gale led Blanco Sol over the.rim. Then all looked down the red slope. But shadows were gathering there and no moving line could be seen. * Yaqui mounted and wheeled Diablo away. The others followed. - The Yaqui led them into a zone of craters. The top of the earth seemed to have been blown out in holes from a few rods in width to large craters, some shallow, others deep, and all red as fire. Yaqui circled close to abysses which yawned sheer from a level sur- face, and he appeared always to be turning upon his course to avoid them. :The plateau had now &’ *donsiderable dip to the west.

It was strange to Gale, and perhaps to the others, to see their guide lead Dlablo into a smooth and well-worn trail along the rim of the awful crater. Gale looked down into that red chasm. It resembled an inferno. The &w2k cliffs upon the opposite side were veiled in blue haze that seemed like smoke.
