grew deeper on her healthy cheeks.
And l shall be happier than ever, them"
and the speaker turned away, and, look
ing from the house out over the beautiful
stretch of country in sight, recalled the
days of her young maidenhood when she
was wooed and won by one who had given
his life for the flag of our common coun-
try.
The day passed almost uneventfully for
the two women in the Brazos home. Now
and then Mabel saw a horseman passing
along the road which, running near the
house, led to the little town few miles
away Every once in awhile some of the
riders would tip their hats to the flag, but,
for the most part, the men passed without
demonstration.
"Mexicans, some of Jacks 'greasers, the
girl would murmur when she saw the lat
ter.
Towards evening the young girl was
startled by series of wild shouts that drew
her instantly to the window and thence
to the door, in which she stood looking
and listening.
A party of horsemen had turned from
the road and were coming toward the
house.
They rode the sturdy Mexican pony, and
it did not take Mabel long to iden tify them.
we are going to have some callers" she
said, calmly, turning back into the house.
The jewellers are coming back from Gulch
City and have turned from the road"
"Mexicans, child?"
''Some of Jacks 'greasers,' smiled Mabel
Brewster. Don't you hear their outland-
ish cries?"
They may have designs against the
flag"
Instantly the face of the young girl red
dened. She knew what the half-drunken
greaser is capable of doing when he has
spent a mad day in frontier town, and be-
fore going again to the door she looked
toward a corner of the room where she saw
something that seemed to please her.
Then she opened the door
By this time the hilarious horde had
drawn rein in front of the house, and the
foremost was throwing jibes at the banner
that tioated grandly in the winds.
Mabel faced the band with a smile on
her face.
In an instant arose the demand. accom-
panied by harsh words, for the lowering of
the flag.
is that your mission? answered Mabel.

ster will haul down the flag of Washing

they will never lower it to anyone"
The senorita must not insult Me1icsns,
came the flashing response.

"And Msxicana II they are gentlemen.

A loud, derisive laugh greeted these
words and told Mabel that she had wasted
her effort on deaf ears.

half-drunken mob as they urged their horsss

Suddenly Mabel disappeared, but for .
moment only.
In another instant her graceful figure rs.
appeared in the doorway and the Mexicans
Jaw that her white hands gripped the stock
of a Winchester.
There was a brighter, almost fierce, light
in the young girls eyes as she stood de-

the group before her.
"Senorita no shooh" laughed the be-
sashed leader Of the greaser mob.

joinder. IT thought better of you, Capt.
Bustemente"
The Mexican, whom Mabel knew by right,
grinned under his sombrero, and then
glanced at his companions, who seemed to
wonder if he would let an American girl
COW him.
All at once Capt. Bustemente sprang from
the saddle and took step toward the flag.

The vile liquor of the frontier had fired
his blood, and he was more than half fiend
as the cries of his set urged him on.

Winchester struck Mabel Brewster's shout

not stop; he seemed bent on his own de.

bel. "The next man who approaches it will
forfeit his life"
The very mien Of the beautiful young
girl checked the mob. They looked from
her at one another, and strong arms drew
Capt. Bustemente up into his saddle.
For moment, while Mabel faced them
they looked into her face, then with hall
cheer for her courage, they gave their steedi
the cruel spur and she saw them vanish.

looked at the fair girl who had just come
downstairs with folded American flag on
her arm and lustrous light in her deep
brown eyes.
Don't you know, Jack? Tomorrow is
the twenty second, and I am nothing if not

"Pshaw! always keeping tab on our an

them slip by you"
"Why should we? This is a glorious coun-

"The land of the free and the home of the

his brown riding suit and broad-brimmed
hat, patterned a little after cowboy style.

"Glad am, on behalf of the flag, for your

WE THINK EVERY MOTHER IN
THIS TOWN SHOULD KNOW
ABOUT vlN0L.
It IS the Delicious Tonic We
Advise for Growing
Children.

Is your boy or girl pale and listless +?
Do they act differently from other
children? Do they sleep poorly and
eat poorly? Does your boy avoid the
sports and games OF other boys? Does
your girl complain of headache and
find her studies hardship?
II so, you may make up your mind
they are growing too fast. They need
something to help nature in her great
work of furnishing the necessary ele-
ments for creating flesh and muscle It's
sue, bone structure and rich, pure, red
blood.
They need a tonic in the full sense
OF the word and we can tell you what
to get.
1t is vinol Wine of Cod-Liver Oil, the
great modern reconstructor. Children
like it, it is so delicious to the taste, in
spite of the fact that it contains
highly concentrated extract of the
medicinal principles that are found in
cod-liver oil.
But because the vile-smelling and
tasting grease has been discarded and
all of the other disagreeable features
eliminated, the benefits of Vinol are
easily understood.
Vinol acts favorably on the stomach,
creates an appetite and enables the
food that is eaten to do the greatest
possible amount Of good.
Following is letter that bears d.
rectly on this subject: I
~ was all run down and took Vinol.
It did me SO much good and it was so
pleasant to take that gave it to my
children. They were growing fast and
needed something in the way of tonic
and found it to be just the thing for
them. "-SARAH PICKERING, 1882 Fall
River, Mass.
We cordially invite mothers inter-
ested in the welfare of their children,
as well as any one else needing sure,
safe and delicious tonic, rebuilder and
rejuvenator, to call on us. We will
gladly tell any one all we know about
Vinol and why we so highly endorse 1t.
Inasmuch as We are always ready and
pleased to refund the cost of Vinol to
those who don't find it exactly what we
claim 1t to be, it will be seen that we
are prepared to substantially endorse
our claims for the excellence of this
marvellous preparation.
