Just be fore boarding the steamer for America be bad received the news that Ruth Ranger and Eugene Craig hoi been svalloved up is a crevice of the earthquake. He hastened to send a wireless to Ranger, Inc., in forming them of the death of the bead of their firm. Imagine the gantleman's surprise when be appeared on deck as the steamer pulled out of the harbor, to meet Ruth and Craig face to face. He started back as though he had seen a gbost. "I I didn't expect to have your company this trip!" be stammered. 'It was a close call," smiled Ruth, "bat we found a way out through the crevice and reached the wharf just in time. And now we're already to tackle the Lost River project, aren't we Gene," she add ed smiling up at the young man. That night, Mallmson did his best to separate the girl from the ad miring and adoring Craig. Finally, he was successful and suggesied that they walk back aft and watch the wake of the ship m reality to ( get out of the way of Craig. "And now, Henry," the girl smil ed, "all that remains to square ac counts is Lost River Dam, and Mr. Craig is going to help me finish it." "Forgive me if I hope you lose," Mallinson replied. "I I want you, Rutn, and I am thinking of our agreement" "So am I," the girl returned cool ly. "That's why I am determined to win." Meanwhile, at Lost River Dam, Mallinson'a agents had been doing their best to delay the construction work. Two of Ruth Ranger's fore men, drawing pay from Mallinson secretly, quickly found an easy way to earn their money. They had dis covered the one weakness of Stor row, the construction chief. Stor row had, at one time, been a heavy drinker, and being easily led he had fallen to the temptations put in his path by the two teen. With Storrow drunk, and out of the way, much darmge could be done. Ruth's young protege, Dinny, observed this and was wrought up considerably over the maddening state of affairs. He longed for the return of Ruth and Craig so that things would be on a norm basis igain. The day Ruth and Craig returned the bomb broke, Dinny lost no time in telling the girl (ust what the trou ble as. Weathtrby, her Tice-presi-3ent, did not know the source of the trouble. Dinny finished by unload ing words of advice. "They need Mr. Craig at Lost River Dam," he said, "it's just Stor row s drinking that has delayed the work, and now everything is gum med up herce." "Dinry, I think you're right," smiltd the girL "1 am going to put Mr. Craig in charge of everything ne is tne one man i can trust" A week later, Mall insoc's confi dential man, Sharkey, entered his employer's office with a look of dis trss on bis face. "At the rate Craig is going," he declared, "Lost Kiver nam win he Hmsbed on sched ule. Why, with ail the odds against him he's putting things over like maqic." "Get rid of Um! Ton know what it means to me dorrt fafll" Sharkey was absolutely right With Craig at the helm things mov ed. All of the workmen Liked htm excepting trtose in the employ of Maliinson and they were willing to do his bidding. As be sat at his dek, two surly looking laborers en trrrd and made petty complaint Craig looked up at them, astonish ed, and discussed the question. The workmen would not fasten to reason. Finally Craig closed the Interview. "Kesulti are what I want," he said, "not talk." He fhee arose and walked from the shack. Dirmy ap crouched him smiling. " Dinny," he said, "do me a favor will you? I am expecting a case of Instruments. Run up to the shack on the aiding and sec If it came I)inny hastened to obey and Craig continued bis walk. He did not no tice that the two ur!y individuals were following him, keeping well under cover at the same time. Craig wns on his wv to inspect the dam, and he surveyed the huge piece of construction In the distance with I fri-liiia of rlrasure. In (he meantime, Ruth was search.

Be sides his strong physical attractions, Craig was a man of dynamic energy ana iorce, ana it was no wonder, perhaps, that the eirl felt a stranpe fluttering in her heart every time she thought of him. And with these thouehts came also thoughts of Mallinson, and the few words he had inserted in her con tract that Ruth would not only for. ten nauntej valley if she could not repay the million dollars, but also become the bride of Mallinson. The girl did not relish this. Her spirit of bravado in the face of opposi tion had prevented her from pro testing when Mallinson made the added stipulation. She had not thought seriously of the fact that she might have to marry Mallinson; not until she had encountered Craie and he had come to mean every thing to the girL Kutn scowled a bit as she rode through the camp on her favorite horse. She wondered how it would all come out. With Eugene Craig at the helm of her engineering project it seemea as tnougn sne could not lose. Under the able leadership of the young man the workmen were all turning to their tasks like beav ers. Only a few, still faithful to Mallinoon, were making trouble. Ruth stopped a moment to zaze around her. Her eyes finally sought the dam, rapidly nearing construc tion. Then something she saw caused her to start and lean for ward in her saddle. On the very top of the dam a struggle was go ing on. Three men were fighting furi ously, and one man it seemed was Craig. Ruth dug her spurs in to the side of her horse and gal loped up the slope toward the top of the huge dam. And it was Craie. As he reached the top of Lost River dam, the same two men he had spoken curtly to in nis orr.ee nad approached him. Craig gave an order which was not obey ed. The next thing, much to the young man's surprise, the two work men sprang upon him. Craig fought back like a fiend. The very thought of his men rising against him spurred on his anger. But the odds were too great and it was a losing game. Pressed to the utmost, Craig retreated backwards toward the water side of the dam. In the next rush, his two enemies got a grip on him that he could not fight off. They raised him aloft and hurled him over the brink of the dam into the water. Then they Sed. Ruth, seeing this as she approach ed, whirled about in another direc tion to go to Craig's rescue. She made for the bank of the reservoir instead of the top of the dam. In the water, Craig was so weak and groggy from his fight that he was having difficulty keeping his head above the surface. Ruth reached the water, leaped in and swam stur dily toward Craig. With the girl's assistance he was able to get to the shore without danger. Craig was about to open his eyes when he felt a pair of warm lips pressed firmly against his own. He decided to wait a, moment before coming back to life. Then Dinny appeared on the scene. "Them instruments nave ar rived," he informed Craig, 'and they're in the shed at the end of that railroad track. "Great!' the young man ejaculat ed, now thoroughly recovered. "Come on, Ruth, he added. Let l give them the once over. Dinny, I wish you'd return to my o"rice and keep your eyes peeled for mischief." Dinny reluctantly left the young people who slowly wended their way toward the shack a small structure that was located at the end of a short railroad track, and acted as a sort of buffer. Neither of them no ticed the two" men who had attacked Craig following them. Craig's ene mies grinned as they aaw the two young people enter the shed. "I got it!" one of them exclaimed1. "We'll throw that switch, turn one of the cars loor.e so it'll smash that spur track buffer and we will knocli them two straight into kingdom come." In another moment the deed was done. Grinnirg fiendishly, the two workmen watched as the car speeded down the grade, shot off the end of the track and smashed into the rickety shed where Ruth and Craig were examining the new instruments.

Yet, under bet ter breeding and feeding many cows yield 10,000 pounds, some 20,000 pounds, and a few 30,000 pounds and more. Then, if extra care in selection and breeding, and a better knowledge of feeding can multiply production twice, thrice and even six times, isn't the matter worthy of the utmost attention?
