pectivc audience attended 10 its individ
ual concerns or sat about aud waited
for the time when the performance
should begin.
Other visitors were on their way &c
us. Out of the falling dusk three horse
men emerged like pbantoms. close ut
hand, and came on toward the station.
They were well mounted. ard their
clothes, the usual cowboy costume Of
wide brimmed hats and suits Of Califor
MIA overalls. were new and clean. Each
one Of the three carried "a pair Of rcvolv-
ers at his belt and n repeating carbino
across his saddle horn. IL was not this
display Of arls alone that gave sinis.
ter aspect 10 these three men appearing
from the darkness. There was that easy
confidence. with somewhat Of bravado,
in their bearing, coupled with silent and
ceaseless watchfulness. which, to the
initiated. carries warning when such
men are encountered upon the south
western plains. They stopped at the
well to give their horses water. and
then rode up to the station.
Each Of the three was a man who
would be remarked If seen III any crowd
Of cowboys on the plains All Of them
were young. One was II large. powerful
ly built. staggering fellow. with tru'
culent expression to his countenance,
which gained nothing in pleasantness
from the thin, black mustache that was
carried down TO the jaw on each side OF
his mouth. The second was youth
whose appearance was more romantic.
He was dark Of skin, with long. black
hair. handsome face, eyes Of velvety
brown. catlike suppleness Of move
ment. and manner and address suayely
smooth and treacherous. II was later
that we learned the names by which
they addressed each other. which may
as we'll introduce at this point The
first Of the two was known as Phoenix.
the second as Dave.
II was the youngest Of the trio that
was Enthusiastically the leader A slen-
der. smooth faced boy, not past his
tttus, ut tAtINlssu ONti tuc otuci WV
tacit and unquestioned authority. His
eyes, cold gray of tint, were singularly
quick. keen and fearless and confronted
the gaze of others with suddenness
and q penetration that were almost star.
tling This STRIPPING seemed in one
glance to discern every purpose and pos
Gbility and to estimate advantage or
harm to him in the person thus scruti-
nized Another feature, even more than
the eyes, gave suggestion Of savage
cruelty to face which in other respects
was not unpleasing Of expression. This
was the downward length of the chin
below the mouth, in which the two
white. front upper teeth. longer and
more prominent than the others, i'm
parted to the comtenance suggestion
of ferocity. His slight form was mus
cular and we'll knit, his movments ~
1.-the and active as panther'G His
pervading expression Of alertness, self
confidence and relentless readiness to
kill should be mentioned to give fair
presentation Of one who already had
entered ON his career ~ the most dread.

CURE CONSUMPTION.

SCIENTIST, OFFERS TO SEND FREE, TO THF
AFFLICTED, THREE BOTTLES OF HIS NEWLY
DISCOVERED REMEDIEST TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES
Nothing could be fairer, more philanthropic
of T A. Slocum, M. c., OF SO Pine street, New
York City.
Confident that he has discovered an
absolute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, ard to make its greal
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles (the Slocum new system of incidence
to any reader of the River Falls TIMES
who is suffering from chest, throat and
lung troubles or consumption.
Heinvites those DESTROYS of obtaining the
remedies to simply send him their express
ard postoffice address, and receive in return
the three free bottles.
Already this "new scientific course OF
medicine" has permanently cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases.
He considers it his religious duty-a duty
which he owes to humanlty-tO donate MS
infal.ible cure.
Offered freely, apart from Its inherent
strength, is enough TO commeno IL, ano
more SO is the perfect confidence of the
great chemist making the offer.
He has proved consumption to be a durable
disease beyond any donbt.
There will be no mistake in sending-the
mistake will be in overlooking the Doctors
generous invitation. He has on file in his
American and European laboratories thOus-
ands of testimonials of experience from
those cured, in all parts of the world:
