er.
Shorty stretched on tiptoe, brought
his eye to the levyl of the bar and
gazed upon the horrent head of Bailey.
He sighed thankfully, but watched
with interest his strange behavior.
Bailey moved the light across the
window from left to right three times,
paused, then wigwagged some code out
into the night.
"He's signaling." mused Shorty.
"Hope he gets through quick. I'm
getting full." The fumes of the liquor
were beating at his senses, and be
knew that soon he would move with
difficulty.
The man. however, showed no Inten
tion of leaving, for. his signals com
pleted. he blew out the light, drst lis
tening for any sound from above: then
bis figure loomed black and immobile
against the dim starlight of the win
dow.
"Oh, laird. I got to set down!" and
the watcher squatted upon the floor,
bracing against the wall. His dulling
perceptions were sufficiently acute to
detect shuffling footsteps on the porch
and the cautious unbarring of the
door.
"Getting late for visitors," he thought
as he entered a blissful doze. "When
they're abed I'll turn in."
It seemed much later that a shot
startled him. To his dizzy hearing
came the sound of curses overhead,
the stamp and shift of feet, the crash

showed in the stairs, and again the
shuffling of feet came as four strange
men descended. They were lighted by
the sardonic Bailey, and they dragged
a sixth between them, bound and help
less. It was tbe sheriff.
Now. what had he been doing to
get into such a fix?
The prisoner stood against the wall,
white aud defiant. He straiued at
his bonds silently, while his captors
watched his futile struggles. There
was something terrible and menacing
in the quietness with which they
gloated—a suggestion of some horror
to come. At last he desisted and burst
forth:
"You've got me. all right,
îhis. Bailey, you - traitor!"
"He's never been a traitor, as far
as we know." sneered oue of the four.
"In fact, I might say he's been strictly
on the square with us."
"1 didn't think you made war on
women, either. Marsh Tremt>er. but It
seems you're everything from a dog

me aloue. in the daylight, like a man?"
"Y'ou don't wait till a rattler's coiled
before you stamp fils head off." said
the former speaker. "It's either you
or us. and I reckon it's you."
So these were the Tremper boys, eh?
The Worst desperadoes In the south
west. and Bailey was their ally. The
watcher eyed them, mildly curious,
and it seined to him that they were as
bad a quartet as rumor had painted
— bad even for tills country of bad
men. The sheriff was a fool for get
ting mixed up with such people.
Shorty knew enough to mind his own
business, anyway, if otbers didu t. He
was a peaceful man and didn't Intend
to get mixed up with outlaws. His
mellow medltatlous were interrupted
by the hoarse speech of the sheriff,

again and struggled madly while words
ran from him.
"Let me go.-you! I .et me free! I
want to tight the coward that struck
my wife. You've killed her! Who
was it? Let me get at him!"
Shorty stiffened as though a douche
of Ice water had struck him. "Killed
her! Struck his wife!" My God! Not
that sweet creuture of his dreams
who had talked and smiled at him
without noting his deformity!
An awful anger rose In him, and he
moved out into the light.
"Han's up!"
Whatever of weakness may have
dragged at his legs, uone sounded in
the great bellowing command that
Hooded the room. At the compelling
volume of the sound every man whirl
ed and eight empty hands shot sky
ward. Their startled eyes beheld a
man's squat body weaving uncertainly
on the limbs of an Insect, while in each
hand shone a blue-black Colt that
waved and circled iu maddening, er
ratic orbits.
At the command Marsh Tremper's
mind bad lea[>ed to the fact that be
hind him was one man. oue against
üve, and he took a gambler's chance.
As he whirled he drew and Bred.
None but the dwarf of Bar X could
have lived, for he was the deadliest
hip shot In the territory. His bullet
crashed into the wall a hand's breadth
over Shorty's cowlick. It was a clean
heart shot, the practiced whirl and
flip of the finished gun flghter, but the
roar of his explosion was echoed by
another, and the elder Tremper spun
unsteadily against the table with a
broken shoulder.
"'Too high." moaned the big voice.
"Pern the liquor!"
He swayed drunkenly. but at the
slightest shift of his quarry the aim
less wanderings of a black muzzle
stopped on the spot and the body be
hind the guns was congested with
deadly menace.
"Pace the wall!" he cried. "Quick!
Keep 'em up higher!" They sullenly
obeyed, their wounded leader reach
ing with his uninjured member.
To the complaceut Shorty it seemed
that things were working nicely,
though he was disturbingly conscious
of his alcoholic lack of balauce and
tortured by the fear that he might
suddenly lose the Iron grip of his fac
ulties.
Then, for the second time that night,
from the stairs came the voice that
threw him into the dreadful confusion
of his modesty.

Where Glaring Sanitary Menaces
Exist; Also Methods and Costs of
Abatement—Lectures on Importance
of Cleanliness.
The UDlted States bureau of mines
is about to Investigate tbe conditlous
under whieb a miner works, believing
that Insanitary conditions which exist
in some of tbe mines as well as in
some of tbe mining towns are a factor
In the death rate among the men. It
Is intimated that these conditions not
only uunecessarily cause the death of
miners through disease, but they are
often responsible for accidents which
might not have happened if the miners
were in |>erfect health.
The bureau has organized what is
known as the mine sanitation section,
iu charge of .J. H. White, engineer.
The bureau hopes to bring about
progress by appealing to the miner, the
manager and the owner, showtug that
all three can assist, and bow all three
can be benefited by good sanitary con
ditions.
Pictures to Be Used.
It will reach the miner by means of
Illustrated lectures, moving picture ex
hibits and pictorial circulars. These
will show how sickness and suffering
are spread by careless habits and will
drive borne the importance of personal
aud household cleanliness. The bureau
will assist the managers by pointing
out glaring sanitary menaces and by
showing methods and costs of abate
ment It will describe in bulletins com
mon insanitary practices and show the
evils which follow iu their wake. It
will submit sanitary rules and regula
tions and show tbe best methods for
their enforcement
Engineer White in talking about the
conditions which exist in mining towns
said:
"One of the first investigations which
the bureau intends to take up is the
house problem, with a view of putting
before the miners the best practices
and the ones which bave stood the

MOTHER-OF-PEARL
Diffraction Grating Causes Its Beauti
ful Iridescence.
The apparent color of motber-of
pearl was fur a long time somewhat
of a puzzle to scientists. Later It was
found that the surface of mother-of
pearl consisted of due striations or
ridges, with, of course, little hollows
between. This explained everything,
for it was then to the scientists noth
ing more or less than an ordinary dif
fraction grating. To prove it still fur
ther an impression of the surface was
taken in black wax. and the wax It
self exhibited the beautiful display of
color shown In the original mother-of
pearl surface. The color Is not due to
pigment, but to the cancellation iu part
of the light falling on the surface.
To understand this better It will be
well to explain a diffraction gratiug
