ALF Stupefied with surprise, I glanced around and aaw, besides Miss Grayman, only her maid. The parachute, right- tog itself, descended more swiftly than before. heavens. Miss I exclaimed- are you doing here? Where is For answer to my last question she had only strength enough to point upward- I glanced toward the wreck of the Chameleon, hanging black and torn to shreds above us, and saw a second parachute dropping from it almost in our track. Then I understood the situation.

Miss Grayman had In some manner managed to get away with Susan, and now Payton was pursuing them. We had a long start, but Payton was following the same line, and it was evident that he would touch the earth in almost the same spot. But I was not dismayed, and I felt wrought up to a heroic temper when Miss Grayman clung to my arm, sobbing: sir, help us! Save us! My God, what will become of no fear. Miss I said, summoning all the steadiness of nerve that I possessed. will save There must have been a great deal of meaning and of encouragement in my words, for a faint color and a look of relief came into the wan face.

Save her! I would have encountered an army In her cause. I was too anxious that we should make a safe landing to pay much attention to Payton at present. I Inspected the ground beneath us and saw, as we got nearer, that we were likely to come down in a marsh. But there was solid ground, brush covered, near, and by desperate exertions, throwing all my weight to one side, I succeeded in swaying the parachute toward the drier land, so that finally we struck in a very good place, the basket alighting with but a slight shock in a clump of low, leafy bushes. I had hardly assisted Miss Grayman and the maid out of the tangle when there was a splash in the water close by, the arrival of parachute, heard one of his men swear horribly at the fix in which they found themselves, for the water, with soft mud under it, must have been three feet deep.

In a moment I thought of to take them at a disadvantage, slrooting them down before they could extricate themselves. But I could not see their exact location, and, looking around, my eye lighted upon a pile of great rocks which rose above the brushwood not more than thirty rods from where we stood. I said, taking Miss Gray- hand; shall be safer on those She was trembling like a leaf, and the maid could hardly stand. I said, putting all my heart into my words, must please have confidence in me. I have left your father in the aero, and I hope that he, with plenty of help, will be able soon to reach us.

In the meantime trust in me. I would give up my life to protect you, and I know that 1 can protect you. I am an officer in the service of the United States government, and the secretary of the treasury himself is with your father in the aero. You know that we have destroyed Chameleon, and he himself will soon be in our During this speech I had been hurrying them toward the rocks, for 1 heard the floundering of Payton and his men in the marsh and knew that they were fast extricating themselves. My words had the happiest effect upon Miss Grayman.

She glanced at me with the first cheerful look that I had seen upon her face. is your name, am Lieutenant John Allan of the revenue service and in command of the expedition fitted out by Secretary Grantham for your she replied, have performed an act of splendid daring. May God reward you for My heart thumped against my ribs, but I made no attempt to reply. Instead I quickened our steps. In a few minutes more we had reached the rocks.

There was a clear space around them, and they were rough and precipitous. excellent 1 said to myself. The highest point may have been forty feet above the surrounding plain 1 immediately scrambled up, drawing the girls after me. When we reached the top we found a slight depression in which we could conceal ourselves from the eyes of any person below, while from the rim I could command the approaches on every side. I placed Miss Grayman and Susan where they were perfectly protected and then, pistol in hand, crept to the edge and carefully' looked over in the direction of the marsh.

A Large Peach Is Exhibited Finished Conerete Resembles Granite. Pecos, Texas, Aug. have all been perfected for the annual fair and barbecue to be held In this city undef the auspices of the Fecos com- menoial club. Cafsh prizes will be awarded for a vnriety of products, and owing to the exceptlonally fine crops raised tn the two this year, it is expected that the Pecos fair and barbecue exhibits will equal those of any place In the southwest. About 50 cash prize.s will be given.

Will P. Brady, chairmfln oif the committee to raise the money and to provide for the management of the fair, will sub.mit his report to the executive committee of the commercial club Friday and it be gone over thoroughly then. Excursion rates will be to Pecotg and the exhibits from the fair wil be sent to either the land show at Chicago under the auspices of the T'nlted a.nd irrigation exposition, or to the Dallas state fair of Texas. Perhaps to both. Kvery eff- for't is be made to the fair a big thing for this section.

The first building erected in Texas oompletely lined with mica as a finish is the new Drug company building here. This building is lined with solid cement, into which mica from the mica mines of Culbertson county has been interspersed. By using mica, which is manufactured in different colors, buildings constructed of isolid concrete are made to have the appe-amnce of fine granite of a of to suit the builder. building here looks exactly as though It were onstructed of granite.

Itrtff Light starts decay even in pure beer. Dark glass gives protection against light. Schlitz is bottled in a brown bottle to protect its purity from the brewery to your glass. In the Schlitz Brewery, some say, protection against impurity is carried to an absurd extreme. We think so.

We have adopted every I idea, every invention to attain and preserve purity. We scald every tub, keg and pipe and time we use it. We wash every bottle four times by machinery. Even the air in which the beer is cooled is filtered. It is aged for months in glass enameled tanks.

It cannot cause biliousness. It will not ferment in your stomach. If you knew what we know about beer, you would say, in Brown Phones i 1264 Bert Ramsay Co. 800 S. Oregon, El Paso The Beer That Made Milwaukee fdinous MORE VALLEY LAND IS CHANGING HANDS More valley land is being sold.

TWO CHINAMEN ARE CAUGHT AT RIVER The immigratiosn authorities made a good capture Thursday. when they rounded up two Chinjimen who -were trying to work a new scheme to get into this country.

The Chinamen got two Mexicans to fo-rd the river, carry- I ing them on their backs. They made the attempt to cross over about 300 yards below the Stantoin bridge in the dark. The moment the cans arrived on this aide, they dropped their burdens and got back to the Mexioan side as soon Vs possible. immigration men were not in time to get them, but they rounded up Chinos. Both Chinamen claim to have but they say they have them.

The rebels captured all of the available horses in northern Chihuahua. These were cow ponies used on the cattle ranches. The cattlemen are now having difficulty In getting enough horses for their men to ride when they wish to round up a bunch of cattle for shipment.
