Atwood knew thnt a iioto bad arrived for her hus band, was suspicions and would not lie ntlsfled till she had been told the Whole atory. Tlien.a conference took place between the four friends. "You needn't worry, Mrs. Atwood," mild Chandler. "There's more real Justice In a region like this than ran be had In the limit civilized city In the world. "Every man Is expected to right bts own buttles, but where a Indy Is Involved the ease Is different Our men havo nn unlimited reverence for woman.

"Tom," aald Ned. "yon and yonr wife and alater are here aa my guests not only my guests, but any stran gers who come here are considered the guests of the town. You bave no Idea of the chivalry of onr men. Now, I feel responsible for jour proper pro- jpl loetlon while here, not only to you and those with you, but to my fellow clll sens.

Clinndler wont to the hotel, wherohe nuked for Mr. Miirkbiini, and when Hint gciilleinaii was pointed out to him united for a few moments' private con versation.

He thought the pitcher waa oue of his uew recruits, and his face brightened, hut only for an lustuiit. fur ou asking tbe youngster's nume he discovered that It was Venn Gregg, the brilliant pitcher of the Cleveland team, who was working out with the Cuba before the arrival of his own teauimutes. Before the players were through laughing at the mistake of their manager Johnuy Evera furnish ed another opportunity for a haw-haw. Going up to an out fielder, who was pulling down flies In a most amazing way, he Inquired carelessly If he hoped to make the team. "I'm not try- J lug for this team." came the an swer. "Oh, responded Evers. "Just a home boy getting a little exercise." Tbe sailing rejoinder almost threw Evers Into another attack of nervous prostration, for the "home boy" replied.

The Army transport Buford will leave San Francisco Sunday night for the west coast of Mexico to pick up any Amer ican refugees who may wish to leave the country. The Buford will visit Topolobampo, Altata Mazatlan, in the State of Sinaloa; San Bias, Tepic Manzanlllo, In Collma, and Acapulco in Guerrero. The vessel is sent at the request of the State Department, after urgntai lenla from many Americans atrandeV In tbe states bordering the Pacific. Since tbe rebels began to make headway in their operations along the Pacific Coast, communication has been cut with many interior towns where Americans reside. This has left the State Department without Information as to their safety, and this in the face of wanton acts of bandits and organized rebels. Cons'.ant appeals came to the State Department to use some methods of assisting the welfare of these people, but tbe officials tried other means to ward oft the necessity of sending a United States vessel to the Coast Today's reports declare the situation throughout Melxco aa generally be coming worse.

It Pays To Use Good Tools But the Best is No Better Than the Cheapest When It Is Dull A sharp sickle takes half the work off your horses. In fact sharp tools always make easy work and save time and energy. tesT Our grindstones are easy running, mounted on wood or steel frames, turned by crank or treadle and will put a keen edge on an axe or hatchet, scythe or sickle in a .ew minutes. We also have whetstones, and emery stones, as well as oil stones for mechanics tools. We price such goods on a mighty close margin, for we sell good tools and want them to do good work.
