Paint instalments in a morning editions of the Manitoba free press. Evidently Smith was fast approach and in the shadows near Langa Conn s tree a strange Man Ival Ted Denly. In the Calm 1bht below a o stepped out. Langa Doon could t discern his outline but. Beyond act that he was not Smith he id be sure of nothing. There was i Krait rattle and the Man picked up and disappeared in the dark by Means of a Steps. T Ain and still nearer came the Hoot owl. From the darkness and feet from the tree broke a tie monotonous tamping upon the exactly As Langa. Doon had clone the Man in. The tree Vas not slow situation. A strange Man and read the right signals and was in the pall to lure so Ltd death since he knew that they All juggling with life and death. Sorne thins had to be done and done again the imitation Call of in owl sounded this time it was close. A Short burst of Tom Tom and there was silence. Doon examined his tree More 7lv. The trunk was too big to and the limb he had seized a the Only one from which he could descend. The tree was on the Edge of Woods and to drop from it was to Rouette himself against the Glim bosom of the River below. Whistle came from the right. Sii there was no answer from the pail. Vathi n a few seconds Smith might in an unexpected and therefore i Rubiy dangerous Langa Woi failed to warn him. Vars before when Hunting dacoits of the Hub River in Baluchistan he std used a strange signal to warn his alter that great Clanger was approach Asci nov.-. In America and Lipori the Isis of the Hudson a sound went out the night that must have Aston my 5 any Farmer who chanced to hear it. commenced with a Low moaning Quad not unlike that of a Man in and gradually Rose into a loud cd lust bellowing such As Only the h oat of Langa Doon Oxild Send i Throat or the Throat of the tried Hyena of India science followed the fearful outburst of noise and. After a minute of waiting. A Doon sprang from his limb to he ground and darted into the Sadows to Aid his master in what might follow. T Haptor Xiv it must be remembered that it was shortly after five o clock that the sex a Ordinary events terminated at car j re tent and that it after died in her presence arid one had pass away near their doorsteps. The fact j a one of them had apparently been j Vived for a Short time Only added to j he horror of Bernice was a unnerved was not Leastor herself. As she turned into fifth Avenue and mounted to the top of a . Bernice did. However suppress a. Slight shiver of apprehension Jim Nice had not re Effim de from his investigation of mrs. I Tell ferns apartment House and she re i numbered her earlier forebodings in regard to the boy. High above the area traffic she worried about Jim j tile and yet he that it was not i Jimmie for whom she really worried j 4ursliu5 Smith was probably at that moment nearing the dangerous heart of the whole mystery and yet her con in him was so great that she did not fear for his safety. But it was or Smith that she in her cart. Much As she loved Jirm e. She a cd that the boy had caused arc Smith to open his heart for the first time and she feared for the Man. Tiore than for the boy. Because she Isle that disaster to the boy would close the Man s heart forever. This does not mean that Bernice As fas Rode Uptown on top of the bus in love with Smith neither does mean the opposite. She. Herself. Ould not have acknowledged such a j Ting even to herself but just As i a had induced Jinmie to kick the i in can so had it drawn her Atten Tion to something which Lay ahead Kar ethling which she did not yet know cat which she feared might be with drawn forever. She Shook herself free from the disturbing thoughts and found that 42nd Street had been passed and that they Wero Well up the Avenue. Descending from the bus. Bernico walked the last Lew blocks toward her destination a destination which she Sis never to reach. Amid the slow and congested traffic which passed close to the curb a particularly Haid Somo Mower attracted her attention. Through the window As it passed she caught a glimpse of mrs. Grayson seated alone on the Back seat. Undoubtedly it was the same face which had stared Down at the old merchant from a. Gold Frame at his office. The Green lights soon halted the traffic and she caught up to the car and passed it. The next Block contained the House of Kichard Drayson and Bernice had crossed the intersecting Street and had almost arrived when the unexpected thing occurred. Out of the crowd upon the sidewalk and almost directly in front of her Jerome Cardan stopped to the curb just As the limousine with mrs. Gray son Drew up before the door. At the eight of Cardan the heart of Bernice skipped a beat but her feet did not miss a step. Something had to be done and done instantly. A Man like Cardan there was no time to Call a policeman from half a Block away and pedestrians if appealed to would Only stare and stand helpless. Bernice took action herself and without a thought of what might happen to her. As Cardan jerked open the door and stepped into the car Bernice stepped in after him. So closely did she follow that she bumped into him before to could turn and seat himself. Undoubtedly Cardan was taken by Surprise but Surprise to a brain like his Only brought instantaneous action. Elko a Snake he turned and struck at the same moment and the blow of his fist fell cruelly on the Side of the girl s face. She dropped inert upon the floor of the car and a Small pistol just taken from her hand bag rattled against the foot rail. Only one Pedes train stopped to stare As Cardan closed the door and the car moved away. Mrs. Grayson had leaned Forward in Surprise when Cardan entered the car during the rapid action which Fol Lowed she seemed partly bewildered but raised a protesting hand. Be commanded Cardan. It is for the Sharp command had the same effect upon the old lady that is seen when an obedient child is spoken to by a Stern Parent. She leaned Back Ancl paid no further attention to the actions of the strange Man who had just knocked Down a Young girl before Nev eyes. When Bernice recovered conscious Ness she found her. Wrists and Ankles tied with Large handkerchiefs and in her Mouth was fastened some soft stuff which she later discovered to be a bit of waste from the tool Box of the car. The Blind of one window was drawn and she was seated so close to the opposite Side of the car that it was impossible for anybody to look in the remaining window and notice her condition. There was plenty of room Oil the Back seat for Cardan to sit Between mrs. Grayson and his latest victim. No doubt he had been partly supporting her while she had been unconscious. Owing to the jolting of the car Ber Nice did not betray her consciousness by the slight movements which she made. She was Clever enough to realize this and feigned in sensibility for some Little time in the Hope that information of value might reach her through some conversation. But there was no conversation. Not a word was spoken except an order from Cardan to the chauffeur directing Hirn to put on Speed in the open country to take no chances of arrest in towns or villages. The left Side of her face was sore her head ached and there was an oily taste to the stuff in her Mouth which was nauseating did not consider herself beaten. She tested the bindings futilely. Helplessly she wondered what Smith would do and tried to Puzzle it out. Out of slightly opened eyes Sci Nice had been Able to locate their position As the upper end of Riverside drive before she decided just what she thought Aurelius Smith would do in her position. In the first place he would be utterly fearless of that she was certain. In the second place he would be delighted to be where he was since a would probably consider tha he was being forcibly taken to the very place he wanted to go the heart of the mystery. In the third place since Cardan did not wish to talk Smith would probably make him talk. Bernice Felt better when she had decided these things in her mind and de imitate what she thought Smith would do by trying to mane Cardan talk. Robbed of her feet kinds Ancl Tongue she suddenly of the p i1, of the ribs at in. T Man beside her. Fzli was into has ribs that she i Ber Elbow a Sharp pain Ivion As her funny Bone came ban of with something harder than lbs Ana she could not resist a moved y h -1nrdan neither spoke nor ii due Ujj crimes Vinci Inri incl thing. She knew that to was carry ing a shoulder Holster under his coat new York was soon left behind and the Long drive darkness settled see Over the country. Occasionally their course was parallel with the Hudson very Little to mrs. We quite Content to be where she was and to have no will beyond the will of car fun soot Les Bernice thought that mrs. Grayson appeared like a woman who was contentedly waiting for something that was More import ant than anything else in the world a scrap of conversation gave Bernice an inkling regarding this. Are you sure that she will be there mrs. Grayson asked. Queried Cardan a Little As if he had been thinking intently of something else. Yes she will be there i command Ancl will you keep your Promise and let me keep her this continued mrs. Grayson. Only if you do everything exactly As i answered Cardan. If Vou do one thing against my wishes you will never see Josephine after you i will i exclaimed mrs. Grayson with great emotion. I will do everything just As you Bernice sitting quietly inter Corner and resolved to wait and watch could not decide in her mind whether mrs. Grayson was acting because of some great inducement or of hypnotic influence. She decided finally that it might be partly due to both reasons. It seemed impossible to be Lieve that an experienced woman would act As mrs. Grayson was doing unless it were clone under some kind of abnormal conditions. Not once had mrs. Grayson spoken to her and such action was not in accordance with the kindly nature of the old lady. It seemed a Long time and Bernice s Mouth and Tongue were terribly dry before they turned off a main thoroughfare and entered upon a winding country Road upon which the car was forced to slow Down. The blackness of night had Long settled Down and Cardan switched on an overhead Light while he Cut the Cord and removed the gag from Bernice s Mouth. If you speak once when i do not address you i will put it he said. If you try to cry out you can imagine for yourself what will Hap Bernice remained silent. Her Mouth was too dry to articulate and. As car Dan switched out the Light she Pond ered Over her predicament in the dark Ness. Once she raised her wrists to her Mouth to try the knot with her Teeth but a Quick movement on the part of Cardan warned her and she drooped her hands to her Lap. The Man was inhumanly Alert. She dared try nothing at the moment. She wondered again what Smith would do and she began to wonder if she would Ever see him again or Jimmie or Langa Dooh. Suddenly she realized that she must already have been missed and that Steps probably were already being taken to find her. But How could any Man find Smith.? it was even impossible for her to throw some thing from the closed car on the very slight Chance that it might be picked up and her Trail followed. She knew that she must extricate herself or be rescued very soon since the Man who held her was totally heartless and her end might be Swift. Once the Road they were following crossed some Railroad tracks twice while it skirted the very Edge of the River at a Point where the tracks pierced some huge rocks by Means of a Short Tunnel. At the second crossing a train was passing and the Gates were Down while a silent watchman stood within a few feet of the car. Cardan Laid the Cool Blade of a knife against Bernice s wrists. If you make the slightest he said i will Send this into your Side at exactly the right he spoke very Low and close to her ear. If mrs. Grayson heard the words she gave no indication of it. Shortly afterwards Cardan ordered the Driver to turn off the Roach to the left Ancl the car lurched through a shallow ditch and came to a halt in a Fence less Field bordering the River. Distilled by Consoli dated distilleries limited Corbyville Ontic the largest distillery in Canada making Quality whisky for Over 70 years. Bottled under love moment supervision Bourbon whiskey bottled in Bond Cardan removed the binding from Tho Ankles of Bernice and opened the door for the party to alight. As be mice left the car she Felt a Strong hand in one of her bound wrists and knew that she was not to be allowed the free use of her feet.

Plans for re Grassing Alberta ranch lands Ottawa july Dominion experimental farms Are commencing this year some experimental work designed to secure information regarding the improvement of Range lands in Western Canada. The carrying capacity of the ranges has decreased greatly in recent years and it is desired to learn what methods if any can be followed at not too great Cost to improve them. With this end in View a email ranch has been leased in township 2, Range 4, West of the 4th Meridian in Alberts where work will be undertaken in co operation wit ii Gil Christ Brothers ranchers who have had Long experience in Southern Alberta. The experiments to be conducted will have As objective the getting of information As to the relative advantages or disadvantages of different methods of grazing. A series of trials will be made with what might be called deferred and rotated systems in. Which the cattle Are kept off certain areas until the grass has set seed after which they will be allowed to Graze on these areas so As to scatter and tramp the seed into the ground. These areas will then be rotated from year to year with a View to improving the grass throughout the entire extent of the ranch. Studies will be made of the various species of grass growing on the Range in question and efforts will be made to reseed it with More productive species. Owing to the Peculiar character of this Type of experimental work if will be a few years before much information is secured however. As there Are approximately ten Mil lion acres of Range land now being grazed in Western Canada it extremely important to learn the bes Means of increasing its productivity.
