Reminiscence
The scenery one remembers
most fondly will be what he saw
while sitting serenely in contem
plative meditation.
Culture also consists in knowing
what not to cultivate.
A fault mender is better than a
fault finder.
The way of the transgressor is
hard, but apparently not half hard
enough, or there wouldn’t be so
many repeaters.
Virtue and Vice
Following virtue is a steep as
cent; following vice is a pre
cipitous leap.
Everything in nature goes by
steps, nothing by leaps.
Greatest triumph is to fish your
friend out of the blues and make
him laugh again.
If science knew how to produce
• genius, it would produce too
many.
A hard - shelled man doesn’t
necessarily mean a hard-boiled
one.

Stomach Gas
So Bad Seems
To Hurt Heart
“The gas on my stomach was so bad
I could not eat or sleep. Even my
heart seemed to hurt. A friend sug-
nested Adlerika. The first dose I took
brought me relief. Now I eat as I
wish, sleep fine and never felt better.'*
—Mrs. Jas. Filler.
Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and
lower bowels while ordinary laxatives
act on the lower bowel only. Adlerika
ives your system a thorough cleans-
ng, bringing out old, poisonous matter
that you would not believe was In your
system and that has been causing gas
ains, sour stomach, nervousness and
eadaches for months.
Dr. H. L. Shoub, New York, reports:
“In addition to intestinal cleansing, Adltrlka
greatly raducat bactaria and aolon bacUH.**
Give your bowels a REAL cleansing
with Adlerika and see how good you
feel. Just one spoonful relieves GAS
and stubborn constipation.

Watch Your
Kidneys/
Be Sure They Properly
Cleanse the Blood
VOUR kidneys are constantly filter-
I ing waste matter from the blood
stream. But kidneys sometime, lag in
their work—do not act as nature in
tended—fail to remove impurities that
poison the system when retained.
Then you may suffer nagging back
ache, dizziness, scanty or too frequent
urination, getting up at night, puffiness
under the eyes, feel nervous, misera
ble—all upset.
Don't delay? Use Doan's Pills.

CHAPTER X—Continued
—16 1
“I wouldn't want to impose like that
on a decent father-in-law, Henry; It’ll
be bad enough for any man to have
you hitched Into his family. Lift him
out of here, boys—give me a hand.
We've got to get him up to the office.
What’s that noise out In the corral?”
“Nothin’ at all,” blustered McAlpin,
struggling along the gangway with
Sawdy's feet. “Just a few bucks from
the Reservation, Initiatin’ Barney Reb-
stock Into Into the tribe. Henry, you’re
heavier than a ton of bricks. I can’t
hold on much longer.”
Not until the doctor had nearly fin
ished dressing the cowman’s leg did
the wounded man begin to tell the
story. And he had hardly been made
ready to send to the hospital when
John Lefever and Bob Scott appeared
at the box office door with Barney Reb-
stock, white and scared.
“What’s a-matter with the rest of
you?” exclaimed Carpy testily, as he
eyed the three.
“Why, Barney,” explained Lefever
blandly, “fell off his horse a few min
utes ago and broke his wrist. Fix him
up, will you, doc?”
“What the devil’s this cutting and
squawking all about?” asked Carpy of
Lefever later that night.
The two were seated In the doctor’s
office about midnight. “Doc,” explained
Lefever, “the boys are pretty sore
about Bill Denison’s ranch house get-
tin’ burned down. The day after the
fire Barney Rebstock left two hundred
with Harry Boland. Where'd he get
It? The boys made up their minds to
find out. Sawdy got him down to Mc
Alpin's barn, but when he began to
pump Barney the cuss showed fight.
You know Henry. He'd never used a
gun on a shrimp with a knife. So the
rest of us, waitin' in the corral, car
ried Barney out of the barn, showed
him a rope by the light of the lantern,
and asked him how about that fire.”
Carpy shook his head. “Dangerous
business, John. Did you string him
up?”
“Hell, no. I hadn’t no more'n ad
justed the noose and asked him was It
comfortable under his ear, when he
told the whole story. McCrossen hired
him to do It for Van Tamhel—”
Carpy muttered an angry epithet.
“—gave him two hundred and prom
ised two more when the job was done.
What do you think of that. Doc?”
Carpy was silent a moment. “Rot
ten business. But what's the good of
stringing Barney up? He'll deny ev-
erything. That ain’t the only thing
John. The old devil couldn't be con
victed. But It would make a nasty
mess to try Van Tamhel for hiring
Rebstock—and where would the shame
land? On Jane Van Tamhel. And she
head over heels In love with Bill Den-
Ison, and he with her—what can be
done?"
“You fellows ought’ve asked me that
afore you began stringing Barney up,”
added Carpy, after a moment's thought,
"there’s only one thing 1 know of you
can do now. Bill Denison is the man
most Interested In the situation the
way It stands.”
"I guess we can’t get away from
that,” admitted Lefever.
“Lay the whole mess before Bill and
ask him what’s to be done.”
Lefever was doubtful. "I dont
know what the boy will say, doc.”
“And I don’t care a hang," retorted
Carpy. “That’s all they’ll get from
me.”
Next morning Carpy was making his
rounds at the hospital. In the corri-
dor he encountered Lefever. John took
off his hnt and scratched his head.
“Well, doc!” he exclaimed.
“Well," echoed Carpy, "what you do
ing tip here?"
"We talked It over."
“Who’s we?”
“Why, Sawdy, McAlpin. Rob Scott,
Ben Page, 'n' me. We talked It over 'n'
concluded to follow your talk—put It
up to RIH.”
"Sit down there In the office till I see
him myself.”
“O. K., Doc. I’ll go In and set with
Sawdy."
Dr. Carpy opened the door of Dent-
son's room. Close to Denison, who sat,
with bandaged eyes. In an armchair,
stood Jane, arranging some briar roses
In a vase.
Denison was fingering, rather nerv
ously, his eye bandage.
Jane turned. “Oh. here's Dr. Carpy,
Bill. Good morning, doctor !”
“Any morning's a good morning when
a man can set eyes on an up an’com-
ing girl like you." said Carpy. “Bill,"
he continued brusquely, “you're too
slow. If 1 bad as good a sight for
sore eyes as she is, right close to me,
I’d take a peek at her If I had to go
blind the rest of my life."
Jane turned away with a protesting
smile. Denison looked confused. “Say!"
exclaimed Carpy suspiciously, “what’s
been going on here? What have yon
two been up to? Bill,” be said sudden
ly, “you've been moving that bandage!”
"Why, I did lift the bandage for a
tew seconds,” confessed Denison.
"What for?”
“To look at the roses."
“Bill, you’re a blamed liar. You lift
ed It to 1 k at this girl—didn’t he.
Jane?” Carpy thundered the question
in his most aggressive manner.
“How do I know, doctor?” asked
Jane demurely. .
“Bill,” he said, sitting down by his
patient, “tell me just what and how
much did you see when you lifted that
bandage.
“Doc, I'll confess, I couldn't see
much—just a blur.”
“And your eyes ache and sting now,
don’t they?"
“They burn a little. Doc.”
“I’ll say they burn a little! How
many mornings has this been going
on?”
Denison was silent. “Only yesterday
and today, doctor,” confessed Jane,
hesitatingly.
“Well, don't try It any more,” said
Carpy to Denison. “If you do. I’ll put
you back In a dark room. I only let
you out here on the theory you’d be
have yourself.”
Carpy picked up his bag. He was
part way down the corridor when he
was waylaid by Lefever.
CHAPTER XI
“Come into Sawdy's room a minute,
Doc,” pleaded Lefever. “He'd like to
talk this thing over with you.”
Sawdy, propped up in bed, led the
talk. But the talk was not to Dr.
Carpy’s liking. “Yes,” he muttered
scorufully, "I expected that’s the way
It would work out. If there’s a mean
Job to be done In this town, put It on
me.”
But the pair now working on the doc-
tor’s sympathies knew their victim
pretty well and, having once brought
him to refuse their request, needed
only to persevere In order to make him
grant It. This brought Carpy back
that afternoon to Denison, alone.
“Doctor,” said the injured man, “I
couldn't be sure this morning when
Jane was here whether 'you were talk
ing to encourage her and me, or wheth
er you really think you can save my
sight.”
“Bill, I was honest in what I said,”
returned Carpy. “I believe and hope I
can save your eyes. But it’s not all
In my hands; I told you that, too. If
Nature’s willing, we're going to get
through all right—does that satisfy
you?”
“That’s all I can ask. Doc.”
“Bill,” said the doctor suddenly,
“Sawdy and Lefever have found out
who burned the ranch house—and why
It was set afire.”
“Who was it?” asked Denison vio
lently.
“Keep cool. Bill ; keep cool. It’s a
mean mess."
Denison was on fire. “Why don't
you tell the story?" he demanded an-
grily. “What did they do?”
“First,” responded Carpy, determined
not to be rushed, “they found that Bar
ney Rebstock had a pocketful of money
since the fire. They lured him down
to McAlpin's barn. When Sawdy be
gan to question him, he showed fight.
The upshot of It was, the two went at
It hammer and tongs in a box stall.

“Let Me Put That Bandage Back
Where It Belongs.”
Barney had a knife—he drove It
through Sawdy's leg, and Sawdy was
choking him to death when McAlpin
and the boys heard the noise and
stepped In to save the thief. Then
they took him out behind the barn till
be told his story.
"Mind you, this now Is Barney’s
story—might or might not be the facts.
He claimed he was paid two hundred
dollars to set the house afire, with a
promise of two hundred more after
he'd burned It."
Carpy paused. He thought the sick-
ening truth must have already begun
to penetrate Denison's mind; It had
not.
“Who," asked Denison, with a fell
epithet, "paid him to burn me up?"
"As Barney tells It," continued Carpy
deliberately, "It was between McCross-
en and Ous Van Tambel."
Denison sprang from his chair. He
tore the bandage from his sightless
eyes. From his disfigured lips there
poured a stream of bitter words.
“Not too fast. RIH—not too fast. Re
member there'll be another to stiffer
like hell If this thing ever gets out”
“Oh. 1 know It must never get out.
But that man! Doc, he ought to he
roped and dragged to death by a wild
horse. If ever a robber and a thief
and a murderer deserved stringing up,
that man does. He's killed, or bad
killed, every man that ever stood In
his way of stealing land or cattle, or
anything a man had that he wanted.”
“Cool off, Bill, cool off.”
Denison sat down with his bands
over his face. It wrung Carpy’s heart
to see him suffer. “I can't Doc. 1
can’t !”
"Yes, you can, damn you, and you
will. Let me put that bandage back
where it belongs—and yon keep It
there. Don't talk about eyesight un
less you want It back. Where the hell
do I come In? What am I getting ont
of this?” It was a battle between two
strong wills, and It was long tn the
waging. But when Carpy, wiping the
sweat from his forehead and, himself
almost unstrung, left Denison's side,
his patient had ridden out the storm
and had promised quiet till the two
could think of what might be done,
pledging in the Interval mutual and
absolute secrecy.
Secrecy, however well pledged, grows
more difficult to control In proportion
to the number of persons pledged.
Carpy swore Sawdy and Lefever to
It very easily. McAlpin and Ben Page
were warned that If the story leaked
out, It might become unpleasant for
both. As for Bob Scott, no one was
ever known to worm a secret out of
him; Barney, of course, dared not talk.
Yet It will easily be understood that
too many people had the story; and
only the continual efforts of Dr. Carpy
in silencing, through threats of what
might happen to them, one or another
of the conspirators kept it under cover.
Jane, after the usual storm with her
father, who knew what she was doing,
rode next morning Into town to make
her visit to the hospital.
Denison was a poor actor. In his
endeavor to make Jane feel there had
been nothing to upset him, he was over
solicitous. Carpy did better ; but he
was compelled to admit that Denison
had not been doing quite so well—since
Jane could see that for herself.
Her father continued taciturn and
aloof. Jane knew she was defying
him by continuing to visit Denison, yet
being of much the same tenacious will
as her father himself, she reckoned
little of It.
But her visits and ministrations to
the Injured neighbor of Gunlock Ranch
became so frequent, and she herself
was so wholly indifferent to comment,
that the situation became food for lo
cal gossip. Here was Van Tambel a
deadly enemy of Denison's, with his
daughter openly showing a very spe
cial Interest in Denison’s condition at
the hospital—carrying to him deli
cacies and spending with him half her
time in town.
Things were at this pass when one
day Van Tambel told his daughter he
must go to Medicine Bend on some
bank business. Jane knew that he was
not able to make the trip—Carpy had
told her more than once that the old
man's life hung by a thread. She
pleaded with her father, found out
what the business was, and offered to
go In his stead.
She took the morning train for Medi
cine Bend, secured the further time
on his notes at the bank, spent the
night at the Mountain House, and took
the afternoon train west for Sleepy
Cat.
The Pullman cars were crowded.
Jane was forced to find a seat in a
day coach. Here she placed her hand-
bag in the seat beside her, bought a
magazine, and resigned herself to a
long-afternoon and evening.
Two men had taken the seat directly
behind her. Jane resumed her reading
until in the conversation between the
two men her attention was attracted
by catching the name of Bill Denison.
Her curiosity once aroused. It was
easy to follow the drift of their talk.
Presently she heard mention of her
father's name. Aroused now to keen
interest. Jane was torn between the
feeling that she ought not to listen
and the impulse that she must.
“Of course, nobody can prove It.”
were the words she heard. "I didn't
say they could. That old bird knows
too well how to cover his tracks. But
everybody knows how he deviled Deni
son's brother when he lived there—
tried to buy him out, then scare him
out. and then smoke him out The old
devil has been crazy ever since he
owned Gunlock to get hold of that lit
tle Spring Ranch. Why? Account of the
water. It’s the biggest spring in the
hills. Now that he's hack from the
hospital, the first thing he thinks of Is
to get hold of that spring."
Jane listened with bated breath.
“Why. It's common talk In Sleepy
Cat.” the narrator went on. “that he
paid Barney Rebstock to set Bill's ranch
house afire and came damned near
burning Bill up in It.”
Her heart stopped beating as she
heard the dreadful recital, delivered
as calmly as the merest bit of current
gossip would be discussed on a street
corner.
“According to what 1 hear,” con
tinued the narrator, “Sawdy and some
of Bill’s friends choked the story ont
of Barney. Sawdy got cut up in the
fracas with him—Sawdy was laid up
tn the hospital for a month. Barney's
a mean devil with a knife."
The train was pulling Into Sleepy
Cat Jane, rousing herself from a
stupor, ber breath choking her, her
heart ready to burst with every beat,
staggered to her feet, dazed, and sup
porting herself along the aisle with
her hands alternately on the backs of
the seats, stepped blindly down to the
platform.
Bull Page, who was in with the
team and buckboard to take her
home, reached for her handbag. “No,
Bull," Jane said quietly. “I'm not go-
Ing out tonight."
