TENTH EPISODE
F'' The Human Target
- I Pedro found that his position was
untenable Sheltered thongh he was
behind the body of Liberty’s horse bal-
lets flecked the sand on all sides of
him He decided at last to make for
the foothills It was taking a desper-
- ’ ate chance bat Pedro knot? that It
would be Impossible for him to make
hla way back' to the ’dobe where Bob
and bis cavalrymeo were making their
splendid light '
' 1 Stealthily he crept away from the
' dead horse and across the sand When
be bad pat perhaps thirty feet between
him and the beast he made a startling
bat pleasing discovery While ballets
(till thudded Into the carcass of the
horse none were falling about him
The explanation at once occurred to
him: -
Whereas the black horse against the
white sand had made an excellent tar-
get for the Mexicans on the opposite
side of the valley Pedro’s khaki uni-
form was Indistinguishable against the
sand The Mexicans continued to Are
at the horse believing that Pedro was
still sheltered behind It '
It was not until Pedro rose to his
feet and made ft last dash for the
' scrub on the outskirts of the desert
that he was discovered And then he
was so far away that the fusillade
which followed him fell harmlessly
dozens of yards away
"Get that man” ordered Lopez who
was directing the fire of his machine
'guns from the opposite side of the val-
ley "Manuel take two of my best
scouts and ride down that renegade
' and bis white sweetheart Bring them
back to me dead or alive It doesn’t
matter”
Pedro picked up Liberty’s trail sev-
‘ eral hundred feet after striking the
' wooded foothills He followed it up
- precipitous cliffsldes and down gullies
where only a nimble pony could tread
' Liberty evidently Intended to cross the
mountains and thus come more quick-
ly Into contact with Major Winston’S
column
Pedro realized that she must be mak-
s lng but slow progress on horseback
through the tangled Jungle growth and
accelerated his pace hoping to catch up
with her
He came to a steep declivity Far
down a tiny stream trickled along
The apparently tiny stream was In
reality the Sun Mateos river Just how
Liberty bad made her way down the
canyon side puzzled even the old scout
Even as he pondered he saw clear-
ly outlined against the side of the
'opposite canyon wall Liberty's figure
- on horseback slowly very slowly pick-
i lng her way up the apparently sheer
i side of the canyon Pedro watched
ther Intently
Suddenly he gasped In horror He
isaw her horse slipping In another mo
ment the hors had plunged to the
‘depths of the canyon while Liberty
lining suspended it seemed In mid
! ' - ' i
Almost nt fhs asms moment Pedro
heard ths bushes crackling behind blm
- Quickly be dodged behind e sheltering
rock A Mexican horsemen emerged
on the canyon ledge and carefully
i looked up and down the valley with
jpalr of field glasses
Pedrs wee on the point of bringing
Mm down with his revolver when the
Mexican shouted to e companion
A few momenta later Pedro eew
Manuel join the Mexican who pointed
out Liberty as she ley on a ledge of
rock e thousand feet above the can-
yon bed Into which her horse had fallen
to hie death (
Still another Mexican on horseback
joined the group There followed an
excited conversation Pedro crept
closer and heard them discussing Lib-
erty’s capture
"We’ll take the trail around the
mountain” said Manuel "It’s longer
but safer Then jre can throw a rope
down to her end shell be eo glad to
eecape from her perilous position that
imprisonment' will mean nothing to
her Perhape-fwho knows "laughed
Manuel "I can even become n hero In
the eyee of my own wife”
Mannel ordered one of the Mexicans
to watch Liberty while he and n com-
panion took the long trail around
Hardly had they disappeared from
sight before Pedro crept np behind the
Mexican ns be peered at Liberty
through his glasses Then with an
agile bobnd Pedro leaped to the back
of the horsennd strangled the Mexican
Into submission With lengths of
rope cut ont from the Mexican’s lariat
Pedro bonnd him tightly
Then carefully guiding the horse
down the mountain trail Pedro at-
tempted the feat which nearly resulted
In Liberty’s death Swiftly his wiry
pony scrambled down the mountain
side Instead of taking the same
route which resulted In Liberty’s fall
however Pedro followed an old and
unused trail up the bed of a mountain
stream which soon brought him to the
crest of the canyon ' -
Leaning over the edge of the cliff
he shouted down to -Liberty who
waved feebly np at him Then Pedro
qnlckly lowered n rope to her '
Liberty grasped the end of the rope
knotted it about her body and with
Pedro palling from above was soon
half-way np the canyon side As he
palled on the rope Pedro saw 'Mannel
and hla bandit riding like mad along
the trail toward them
Desperately ha pulled on the rope
One of the strands scraping against
the sharp ledge of rock parted
Drops of perspiration stood out on
Pedro’s brow as he realised that if the
rope didn’t hold Liberty would plunge
to her death
He tooka firm grasp on the rope be-
low the parted strands however and
a minute later pulled Liberty panting
and limp to the canyon ledge 7
Liberty threw her arms around the
falthfnl Pedro "
"Quick” whispered Pedro "Mannel
and one of Lopes’s bandits have seen
ns"
Pedro slapped bis horse briskly on
the flanks and It ran off among the
trees Liberty and Pedro then made
their way down the mountain side to a
little cave which Pedro had noticed
while coming np the canyon
They heard Manuel and hit compan-
ion shooting np above for a few mo-
ments and then many minutes later
Pedro peering forth saw them rejoin
the Mexican he bad tied on the oppo-
site side of the canyon When all three
rode off Pedro and Liberty emerged
from their biding place and made their
way again to the canyon edge and
then down the valley toward the des-
ert From the other side Mannel and his
men hidden behind a ledge of rock
observed Liberty and Pedro climbing
from thelt place of refuge Quickly
ordering the Mexican whom Pedro had
bound to take word back to Lopez that
Pedro and Liberty were on their way
to rejoin the main American column
Manuel and his companion again took
np the pursuit' s-
An hour later the'Mexlcan rode back
to Lopez’s band which was still pep-
pering away at the hut In which Rut-
ledge and the three cavalrymen were
flfehtlng for their lives
When Lopez learned that Liberty
and Pedro had made good their escape
and would soon be in touch with the
main American column he decided to
drop his siege of Rutledge and his
companions
"Saddle up" he ordered “We will
catch the Americans at Dlabolo pass
and with four machine guns we can
wipe them off the map once and for
all I want a dozen of you fellows to
stay behind and keep theBe Americans
busy while we go ahead”
Meanwhile Pedro and Liberty scram-
bled down through the brush ' Soon
their clothing was In shreds from the
thorns and man-high cactus which
barred their path At the edge of the
desert they came upon a Mexican’s
hut Pedro burst In the door and cov-
ered the Inmate an aged Mexican
with his revolver Quickly he ordered
the old fellow to hide them and to deny
that be had seen them If questioned
A half hour passed From their re-
treat Pedro and Liberty heard horses
picking their way through the under-
growth around the cabin A moment
later tbe butt of a gun banged at the
door The old native was on the point
of throwing the door open when Pedro
hissed at him:
"Remember If yon tell I-shoot Jon
dead"
Mannel and his companion burst In
tfco door a moment later
“Have jon seen an American girl
around beret ’ demanded Manuel peer-
ing suspiciously Into the cabin
"Not no senor” replied the old Mex-
ican keenly aware that Pedro had him
covered "2 see no one"
"You’re liar I” shouted Manual
"Tell me quick before I shoot youj
what have you soent’
"I have assn nothing no one senor”
replied the old Mexican with bis head
bowed in fear
"Search the hat” ordered Manuel
I '
The greaser orderty made a psrfuno
tory search
"They are not We- sir” he report-
ed ‘
Mannel anticipating hla reply had
already mounted
’ "I think tbe greasy bid skunk Is
lying” said Mannel pulling ont his re-
volver "I am positive that through
tqy glasses I saw Pedro and Liberty
go In that door However I’m not
going to risk my Ilfs digging them out
Lock ths£ door and fire the cabin while
I put a few bullets Inside” f
Manuel’s orderly built n bonfire at
all four corners of the cabin and
when the blase had begun to eat
through the flimsy structure both
Manuel and his man stood off and
emptied their revolvers through the
walla
Pedro and Liberty crouched on the
floor heard the ballets boring through
the wood above their heads A few
feet away the old Mexican lay huddled
In a pool of his own blood A stray
bullet bad pierced his brqw aghe sat
rocking back and forth In hla misery
In an old American armchair ’ 1
- “We’ll have to get out of this1 whis-
pered Pedro to Liberty "Let’s make
for the cellar and dig our way out
through the brush '
Pedro lifted a trap door and helped
Liberty down With a shovel he
quickly scooped out a hole beneath
the foundations of the beams and
looked ont Manuel and his compan-
ion on the other side of the house
were not In sight Pedro quickly
crawled through and pulled Liberty
after him On their hands and knees
both made their way to tbe brush near
at hand Then rising to their feet
they scurried along until the brush
grew higher and merged Into the Jun-
gle Mannel watched the blazing cab-
in until its rafters fell Into the In-
terior sending np a shower of sparks
Then he rode off to rejoin Lopes and
his band - - -
Suddenly Manuel clapped his field
glasses to his eyes Away off on the
horizon skimming ths desert below
he spied an aeroplane Droning on the
breeze now louder now fainter he
could hear Its humming motor Far-
ther In the distance h saw a cloud
of dust
"The American cavalry” he shouted
excitedly pointing In the direction of
the dost "We must get' back to Le-
pea If we put' a few machine guns
at Diablo ’ pass we can annihilate
them"
Pedro and Liberty made their way
through the Jungle until they reached
the edge of the desert Pedro with his
sharper eyes was the first to descry
the aeroplane
"Look!” he cried In his excitement
“There’s one of good old Unde Barn’s
aeroplanes Can we attract their at-
tention!” Liberty didn’t wait to answer She
disappeared Into the brush and a mo-
ment later came out with her white
skirt In her hand Vigorously she
waved it back and forth The aero-
plane circled about apparently not
seeing tbe signal went back over the
cloud of dust which marked the posi-
tion of the cavalry and then like a
great buzzard droning and moaning
came back again toward them
The ’plane settled on the sands a
hundred yards from Pedro and Liber-
ty The operator swung his machine
gun around Into position ready for a
fight When he saw a woman running
toward him however he hesitated
"Don’t fire 1” shouted Liberty "It’s
Pedro and I— Liberty"
Tbe operator wiped his brow In re-
lief "We thought we would have to clean
ont the brush ‘there with a little fusil-
ladte” he remarked as Liberty and
Pedro approached "Pedro looks very
much like a Mexican and I thought at
first that you Liberty' were merely
one of their camp followers — pardon
the thought Jump In we’ll soon have
you back to Major Winston and the
boys”
Pedro and Liberty stepped into the
pit of the car built to accommodate
four passengers and a minute later
the machine skimmed along the sand
"See that pass aheay” shouted 'the
operator shutting off his engine and
volplaning so they could hear distinct-
ly “That’s Diablo pass We expect
trouble there If Lopez gets word tluit
we Ore on the way — Hello 1"
A rattling fusillade greeted the
aeroplane
Lopez and his men had arrived at
the pass and the first of his machine
guns already was in position
“Let ’em have it boysl”'he shouted
"If that aeroplane gets fiack to Win-
ston’s command there will be too sur-
prise attack and we’ll have to make a
run for it"
Manuel who had come upon Lopes
and his lnsurrectos took charge of the
machine gun and directed Its fire
Through his glasses he saw Liberty
the woman he had forced to marry
him clinging desperately to Pedro la
the tonneau of the 'plane
Flying low over the pass the aero-
plane presented an easy target Man
uel watched grimly as the operator
strove desperately to start his engine
The latter sputtered fretfully— threat-
ened to go dead Then the quick ex-
plosions Indicated that the engine had
"caught on" The 'plane slowly begou
to ascend
"Quick I Get that gun going” ordered
Lopes "Why do you hesitate!”
Manuel sprang to the machine gun
end pulled the trigger t
With a roar like ten thousaiod ex-
ploding crackers the machine gun
emptied Its belt of bullets
"You've missed 111” shouted Lopes
to Manuel ’"Quick damn you glvs
me another belt I’U run it myself
and this time they’ll come down In a
biasing heap”

Why Guard Doesn’t Fill Up
Adjutant General Earp has returned
from an extended recruiting trip
through the state He says recruiting
is good and many new men are being
enlisted every day Still he com-
plains the first regiment is nearly 200
men shy And this is why:
' Almost as fast as the new men are
being sent to For Sill others are being
dismissed— those that have depend-
ents Therefore Earp says there’s
little chance to get the regiment re-
cruited up until the family men now In
the regiment are all replaced by new
men He figures It will still take an
other couple of hundred or moro io
bring the regiment up to peace
strength

exjenditujre and distribution of state
and federal aid Nearly eight mil-
lion dollars has been aet aside by the
tate and the nation for road improve-
ment during the ensuing five years
From fhe federal government there

Fire Loss Deoreases
Results of the cleanup agitation
which C C Hammonds state fire
marshal has been making for the past
month seem apparent in the report on
fire losses tor April shows the damage
to be approximately $160000 less than
It was In' March
Only one fire of supposedly Incen-
diary origin occurred in April In-
volving a loss of $15 This is the low-
est figure in damage for fires of in-
cendiary origin ever reported In any
one month In the state
The total fire loss for April was
$129939 At this $77416 was the loss
to buildings and $52522 loss in com
lents
Careless smokers were responsible
for $7261 of the total losses oil gas
or gasoline explosions for $31993
children and matches $472 lightning
$1770 adojlning fires $2105
Loan Receipts Not Security
Interim receipts showing that banks
have subscribed to the liberty loan will
not be accepted by the state as secur-
ity for deposits of Btate money
This was the opinion given W L
Alexander state treasurer by the at-
torney general An Oklahoma City
bank which is a depository for state
lrioney has subscribed for $105000
of the war bonds and has a receipt
signed by the federal reserve bank of
Kansas City which is transferrable
The bonds have not been received and
the bank sought to put up the receipts
The attorney general stated that no
provision has been made In Oklahoma
statutes for the acceptance of such se-
curity Senate bill 315 passed by the
Sixth legislature provided for the ac-
ceptance of federal farm loan bonds
as security for deposits but no men-
tion was made of receipts of subscrip-
tion Memorial Commission Named

CONTROLLING LICE ON HOGS
Important Factor In Development of
Animals— Cruds Oil Gives Satis-
factory Results
' (Kansas State Agricultural College)
Control of lice on hogs Is an Impor-
tant factor In their development Crude
oil no’t only kills lice but In addition
destroys the nits softens the skin
and brightens the hair
Many hog dips are on the market
which are widely need bnt the nse '
of crude oil gives more satisfactory
results In the opinion of Ray Gate-
wood instructor In animal husbandry
In the Kansas State Agricultural col-
lege This oil may be applied by the
use of patent hog oilers but as a rule
these are not satisfactory for they are
expensive and many do not apply the
oil In a satisfactory manner
One of the most satisfactory meth-
ods of applying crude oil Is to drive
as many of the hogs as possible at
one time into an Inclosure In which
there Is a cement floor Oil may then
Healthy and Vigorous Hog
be applied to tbe hogs with an ordi- 1
nary sprinkling can They rub against
each other and the oil becomes evenly
distributed They should not be let
out of the pen until this Is accom-
plished MILLIONS LOST- BY DISEASE
Annual Lost Caused by Contagious
Abortion Placda Heavy Tax on
Breeders- No Cure Known
Twenty million dollars and a good
deal more Is the annual loss caused
by contagious abortion of cows Ths
loss several years ago was placed at
$20000000 and since then the disease
has spread widely Consequently It is
safe to say that the loss now Is n gnat
deal larger It Is In fact a heavy
annual tax on the cattle gian
Contagious abortion Is a germ dis-
ease No reliable cure la known Tbe
problem Is therefore largely otto- of

790 Issued by the United States de-
partment of agricultural
Prevention and control however
are not a lazy man’s job Eternal rig-

HOGS NEED G00D PASTURAGE
Cheap Pofk Cannot Be Produced In
Pens— 8upply Plenty of Grazing
of the Right Kind
mmmmm k
It will be necessary to plant a suc-
cession of pasture crops for your hogs
if you do not have sufficient perma-
nent pasture
Cheap pork cannot be produced in
pens the hogs must have pasture
crops that supply plenty of grazing of
the right kind Even inhere one has
bnt one brood sow and expects to
raise two litters a year some grazing
must be had to give the proper gains
on the pigs
Make your arrangements for pasture
crops for your hogs
ATTENTION TO YOUNG LAMBS
They May Be Expected to Grow Rap-
idly If Properly Cared For— I
Good Pasture Needed '
— ‘ 4
Lambs require considerable atten-
tion when very young yet they may be
expected to grow rapidly if they are
properly cared for
They need a good pasture where
there la green food shade and water
And when penned at night with the
ewes they should have dry cool sani-
tary quarters where the danger of
parasites Is reduced to a minimum
When a few sheep are cared for
properly one may expect a herd In a
short time
