At nearly the same minute Mrs. An

dusk, met horseman, at sight Of whom
she turned her own beast square across
the narrow road, barring his progress
until she had questioned him to her
hearts content. Evidently the answers
pleased her. Very shortly she rode on,
chuckling aloud. She got down at her
own stile in tempestuous good humor,
patted the head of a lank hound which
came to greet her and strobe within the
squat log house, which had one door
ajar.

discomfort. The open passway between
the two pens was like muck heap.
Racks had been set upon the log walls
either side for holding guns and sad
dies. Mrs. Annis noted with pleasure
that all Of them were empty. She slung
her own riding gear place, saying
half under breath: 81 that thar fool

Peace remained with Mrs. Talbot in

admiration. Her daughter gave her

Poor
Blood

When a horse is poor in flesh,
a new harness won't give him
strength. IF a house Is cold
new furniture won't warm it.
If your strength is easily ex-
hausted; work a burden;
nerves weak; digestion poor;
muscles soft; If you arc pale
and worn out, the trouble is
with the blood. It Is not SO
much IMPURE blood as
POOR blood. Pills won't
make this blood rich; nor will
bitters, nor iron tonics, any
more than a new harness will
give strength to the horse, or
new furniture will make a
house warm. For poor blood
you want something that will
make rich blood.
