-Hank" Somers was the not always
genteel cow-puncher out at Big Man's
Elbow, and, he chewed plug!
Ezra did not chew plug, but circum
stances forced him to sell It and that
Is why, on this particular raw fall day
in Platts Corners, Ezra and "Hank'
faced each other over the chocolate-col
ored counter and exchanged ' pastoral
courtesies. - -
Cold enough for you, Hank ?" queried
the clerk, shoving the packages toward
his customer, graciously. - " "

j In the village store, . Ezra i Norton,
shivering' at ther sudden Inclemency bf
Boreas, "opened the -door , of the cavent-
ous sheet-iron stove and peered within
its sooty maw. The accumulated debris
from the sweeping? half-filled the heat;
er, and would make a-wholesome blaze
with the scattered wbittlings, left by
the dilatory- loafer of tho village dur-,
ing the morning, as they -whittled and
sailed the ship of state. A . t i t

quired Alf. Sculggs, forging;. Into .the
store and rubbing his blue hands rig
orously. v: ' -.. ' ,
Hey, there! . Wait a minute! Look-

floor, picked from amidst the shavings
a plump roll of bills S- :: - -
"Don't ye care nuthin' fer this sort o'
truck, Ez, or are ye gittin' ao dodgasted
rich ye kin afford to burn 'er like
corncobs?" ' . .
- Ezra Norton gasped!
'That's a riBky place for Hetty Brown
to be losing her money, Alf!" excitedly,
after a moment's hesitation. "She's just
left, too! : Here," hurriedly thrusting
the money Into his pocket' "you watch
the store a minute and 111 just run and
catch her! She leaves for Denver to
night!" . ... v
, "Sure, Ezsure! Skip! I won't suck
no eggs while yer gone! Git!'-
: Norton slammed the door behind him.
and Alf, raising the lid to the cheese
box with alacrity in his heart and wa
ter in his mouth, cut oft a liberal "hunk"
of cheese. : Cramming this " Into his
cheeks, he speared a half dozen olives,
took a splinter of eod-fish and an apple,
and grinned! ;:. '
"Keepin' store's right,",, between
munches, "ef yer hungry an' I (swal
low) most (swallow) alius am! ,r (gulp).
Norton's face was aglow when here
turned; - .':.(.;-.' . ..:
"Hetty was mighty glad to get her
money back!" he panted. "Said she
couldn't have gone west without It
Lucky, wasn't It?". - ' ; ' x :
"How how . (choking) how much
was they?" gasped Alf, striving to clear
his strangling and outraged throat from
its last superhuman gulp, and looking
a bit sheepish. .; '. y '
"Oh, .there wasn't much, but she was
mighty glad to get It, Just the same!"
"Looked to me like it 'ud most choke
a cow," grinned Alf, gazing longingly
at the cheeee-box. "One-dollar bills, I
s'pose, mostly I" .
"I suppose , so,'V acquieeced ,!.. Bzra.
"Have a cigar, Alf?"
- "N o, thank ye," reaching eagerly
for It, "I don't smoke ae-gars any more,

the match where it would do the most
good, and "lit np." . 4 , ... - , ,

Orocer BIngton mad Clerk Norton
were- talking it over, earnestly, as lie
came the subject In hand. ' ? ;
-"Kzra, we've belonged to the same
church for ten years, you've been a good
clerk, and I ain't never found nothing
rong, and personally I doa't bUeva
you took that money " .
,"I didn't," interrupted Bxm, dogge41y
"I didn't!" 7'
"And while, of course, there's a lot of
talk going around about Hank suing
you, and some folks are criticising me
for keeping you here till it's cleared up,
I just tell you what I'd do," and Grocer
BIngton bVought down his fat hand on
the top of a sugar barrel. : "If I had that
money, I'd confess,- and give it up but
If I didn't, I'd see.'em in Hh Hanover
first! That'a what I'd do!" .-. j
. "And that's Just ;what I'm going to
do, Mr. Bingtoa! ; answered Ezra, a
gleam of determination in his eye. "Let
me off to-day, -and I'll get my defens
ready ajid- begin the fight It's rainy,
and bad, anyhow,; and there won't be
much doing.. What do you say can I
get off?" . " : : . - " -
-?Ot coarse you ttan Eera. " I'm iust
tut anxious as yon are to get this thing
settled," agreed the grocer, "and the
sooner it's settled the better!"
It was dusk of the same rain-whipped
day. The lone shack of Henry Somers
could scarcely be seen from the main
road, now inches deep with wet slippery
clay, but a sopped and bedraggled pe
destrian turning in at the gateway made
straight for the hut A vigorous rapping
brbught "Hank" to the door, candle in
hand, and a cob pipe between his teeth.
"Well, Ezra Norton!" cried the ranch
er, "be you plum crazy? Come right
in!" ' ' -
" Hank "1 blurted Norton, "I No, I
ain't coming In "Hank,' I hear that you
say I got the $80 you lost in town last
week but "Hank, I I didn't!
didn't find your money,' and I ain't
guilty" tremblingly, "but this talk and
suspicion is 'killing my" wife,- and It's
hurting me. As a member of the church,
and an honorable citizen, I'd I'd rath
.er pay you this money than be called a
tthief ! I ain't got It now, but I'll getit
and pay. ypu next week when you come
to town No, I won't come in. aod Pm
going hack now the way I came. I just
wanted you to know, that's all."
And before the astonished "ajid" half
convinced Henry' .could interfere, Ezra
Norton "had . turned toward, the-teri-miles
of black and sticky road,, and was awal-.
lowed by the pluto'nian darkness.
: "Well, I swan ! "; growled Somers, "ef
that feller don't beat me!" , ;
Grocer ' Bihgton' was reading" the
mdrhing paper when," three weeks later,
"Hank" Somers, muchVexcited and evi
dently bursting with concealed Intelli
gence, Clandestinely slipped through the
rear door of the store and beckoned cau
tiously to "BIngton to f ollow him into the .
alley.. Lt' VV vU.-i.''"w . 'r'-'--ri .,

letters, one by one, in'jo the hands of
BIngton." - ? .-;
.: .;The groceryman, bewildered, wonder
ingiy, opened the first letter, written in
a cramped and unruly hand, and read:
.'"Deer Sur: My giltjf sconshuns is
trublin me. Now, Hank Somers, I found
yer mony miself atween the kofe kan

"Yours truely, " ' The Guilty One."
"An the hull $80 is in the three letters,"
whispered "Hank," joyously, "but," his
face; falling perceptibly, "I'm mighty
sorry fer layin' this here Job up agin
Ezra Norton an' an'-say, Bington,

and giv 'em to Kara with my compli
ments,; an' oh, yes,; I -want about 85
cents' wuth o Big Hatchet jilug and
then 1'm off!".',:.- i',-:';
Grocer Bington studied the letters
long and carefully, scrutinizing the
writing and the paper, but at last he
gave it up as beyond his power toferr
ret put the guilty person.. In his heart,
however, he, rejoiced- that, the 'stigma
attached to the good name of Ills clerk
could how be lifted. He would put
the letters in the safe and save the sur
prise until evening, when the village
"strategy board" met about the grocery
stove to settle-"pints" of state! 'He
would then bring out the evidence, and,
-having rendered it, would hand over the
mittens to Ezra with a nice little speech,
and the Incident would he closed -with
the clerk's complete vindication! v
Thrusting the. proof of Norton's In
nocence Into the safe, he slammed shut
tne ponderous door. As the mass of
Iron and steel settled Into Its place with
a Jar, a notebook fell from behind the
safe to the floor! . -r. ; ;
Bington -rpicKea it np absently. He
did not remember of having such a pad.
'Opening ins cover carelessly, the
groceryman gave i a.; sudden start.
Glancing about hiirriedly, he reopened

I suffered with falling and con
gestion of the womb ; with severe
pains through the groins. I suf
fered terribly at the time of men
; struation, had blinding headaches
and rushing of blood to the brain.
What to try I knew not, for it
seemed that, I had tried all and
failed, but I had never tried Wine
of Cardui, that blessed remedy for
sick women. - I found it pleasant
to take and soon knew that I had
the right medicine. New blood
seemed to course through my veins
. and after using eleven bottles I
was a well woman . ,
Mrs. 'jBush is 'how in perfect
health because, she took Wine of
Cardui. 'for menstrual disorders,
bearing down, pains and blinding
, headaches when all other remedies
.ailed to bring her relief . ... Any
sufferer may secure health by tak
ing Wine of Cardui in her home.
The first bottle convinces the pa
tient she is on lie road to health.
