manned. but still in the ring"
AS both lived together in the walters
room, this arrangement worked to a
charm At night both chronometers were
hung side by side after being carefully
wound, but there was trouble during the
hours of the day. One or the other
would meet a friend on the street and
greet him with the remark:
Seeing the Combination.
"Have you seen Harry?"
Yes; what's up? Just left him in the
corner bookstore-what's up?" as the
artist started on lope for the home of
the drink stalls.
Got to see him to see what time it is,
He's got the rest of the combination"
would be the answer borne back on the
breeze.
1t was the same with the other half Of
the time-telling system. He could be
seen hurrying up Main street OF Broad
way.
"see, Paul?" he would ask his friends,
worriment depicted upon his classic
features.
"No-why?"
well, it IS minutes after something,
and I want to find out-so long,"
AS result Of this condition, both men
were being worn to fragile. until one
day last week the waiter exclaimed:
Made Him Nervous.
Look here. old man, this telling time
is getting me very nervous. Tell you
what We'll do. Wen cut the cards. The
one who cuts low gets both timepieces.
eh?"
Go YOU"
The cards were cut, and that's why
his friends are astOnished and their curl

RlGG 6 POOR E!
.AAlLlIMls

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women ,old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That lis all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. , It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Doan's Ointment is a pleasant, harmless and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

CHAPTER VIII.

Leaving the physicians office, Holbin made his way through the, streets, where excited crowds were discussing the approaching conflict. He went to his room. It is true he had gained no profitable information concerning the unknown, yet-and the thought con- soled him to some eXtent-he had made two important discoveries: Brodna1 was his enemy, and the shooting had really occurred. But WNo was the man, and why should Brodnar seek to shield him? For Il . first time then it dawned upon Eolbin that Brodnar was the friend who came to the rescue of the wounded man and bore him away. Everything corroborated Louise, and if Louise spoke from a clear memory, then Frances had been observed ten derly parting from the man she loved. This mental conclusion filled him with rage, despite the fact that he did not and could not believe the girl guilty of serious error. Common sense told him also that BroGnar would not have been a party to a scand al and the protector of a guilty participant. It was bad hour that Holbin gave to his dilemma in the privacy of his own room. In his doubt and distress he thought often of his mother, who had Richmond so- ciety at her finger ends. and whose clear, incisive mind could pierce the mystery if it could be pierced. But he hesitated at this stage. There were other secrets besides that which baffied him, and he was not prepared to admit the presence of Louise in Richmond.
 But why not Frances? No explana- tions were necessary there; and she was young and, of course, easily frightened. He went at once to her room, and upon the plea of urgent necessity forced his way in. He found her with her cheeks wet with tears and instantly full of resentment. She re- mained standing while he was in the room.
 II have a matter of great importance, Frances, to discuss with you in private, and much as l dislike 10 be guilty of in-

maf1ng the statement as to n1mself and Mrs. Brookin in . sense not to be taken as earnest, but to be construed as refusal to explain the mystery. At this moment when Holbin was taking up his hat and cane to depart, the doctors assistant within the pri- vate room threw the door wide open. and Holbin discovered 9 man propped in an armchair with his head ban daged. The mans back was turned towards the departing guest, and he, saw him but one instant. Dr. Brodnar hurriedly closed the door.
 ''This, sir," said Holbin in a rage. "is infamous! l demand the name of that person."
 Ask your mother, sir"
 1T shall have satisfaction for this, Dr. Brodnar! l shall publish these facts!" Brodnar looked upon him with inexpressible contempt. Then a grim smile came and dwelt upon his lips. ''As I understand it," he said, you must marry to obtain a fortune. If you find satisfaction in blackening the name of some woman, indulge yourself as much as you please; hat if you value your life don't venture to handle the name of Frances Brookin in public. If l have no objection to being shot at by mistake while discharging the duties of family physician, l don't see why you should be rushing around trying to find some man who is not family physician and who was shot with malice-aforethought. Take my advice, MT. Holbin,'' and the doctors voice lost its playful tone; don't turn comedy into tragedy"
 Halbin left the room without word more. The physician stood a moment in deep thought. The smile returned to his face. Poor devil!" he said, "his hands are tied" Notwithstanding this decision, he imme mediately sent note to Frances informing her that Raymond Holbin had discovered some of the facts connected with the tragedy. He assured her that she had no reasons for apprehension, and outlined his in- | terview with Holbin.

trusion there seems to be no help for it.'' She had regained her calmness by desperate effort.
 ''To you, Mir. H olbin, am always Miss Brookin, and there cannot possibly be any subject in which we are jointly in terested so important as to necessitate immediate discussion"
 II am sorry if 1 shall appear abrupt" he said, ''but there is subject, and there is no time to waste. Night be- fore last a man sat in this chair, you kneeEed in front of him, and some one fired through the window, wounding him in the head. The ball glanced into the plastering back there. and the man was carried away by pr. Brodnar, who is now treating him in his rooms. 1 de- mand the name of that man and your reasons for admitting him into this house."
 MT. Holbin!"
 Frances, although forewarned, was but girl, and could not keep the teu- tale blood from her face. "Do not attempt to deceive me. Give me the name and your reasons By what right do you demand this, sir?" Her voice steadied as she looked him fearlessly in the eyes. By the right which your fathers will confers. For if you take one course under that will, this property is his widows, my mothers; ahd if you take the other" = VH 2,

 Forgive me if l have misjudged you" The words surprised and alarmed her. He was not slow to see his opportunity and take advantage of it.
 If you misjudged me, it was nat ural; for never was man more un- fortunately situated to achieve the dearest wish of his heart than 1 am."

D1cK1ssos's FIRST snAsHER.
The Original Nm. Nation Operated IN
Abilene.

1t may not be much to brag Of but
Editor A. NJ. Crazy Of Herington, q
former Abileneite, calls attention to
the fact that this town had a Mrs.
Nation crusade long ago. He says:
In raking up the history Of Dickin-
son and other counties in this state it
has come to the surface that Carrie
Nation was not by any means the first
woman in Kansas to take the law into
her own hands and demolish things
as she went along. The first instance
OF the kind that ever came under our
immediate observation was brave
little woman in the little city OF Abb
lene some eighteen or twenty years
ago who went into Oscar Merrill's sa'
loon on the southside with club in
her hands and proceeded to do up
things in a grand old style. She dis
patched mirrors, chandelier lamps,
decanters, tables, glasses and every
thing within her reach as fast as she
was able to reach them, and before
either Oscar or his bar tender could
collect their thoughts the whole insti-
tuition was knocked into smithereens.
The only thing that was left intact
was the stove, the counter and half a |
dozen spittoons, and even they were
scattered about from one end of the
room to the other. She did the work |
up so completely and had such good
cause for doing what she did that the
owner made no attempt to have her
arrested, nor did he even ask the city
dads to remunerate him for the two
or three hundred dollars damage she
had done.
