The TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are dog-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along to your business-whole
and happy. They can do it and aoilI do it.
Try them on. What for? Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion Of
it, clap a Benson's Porous Plaster squarely on
TIE bad spot. They are the get-ott-to-naorro,o
rlasters-not the sort that go to sleep ON
your skin like cat on cushion. There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch OF
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as a sheet of ice does un-
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Benson's Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of hot breakfast in q
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered In the United States on
receipt Of Csc. each.

Ii was not long before Ontro and its

life, spared not his horse. The others,

louder and nearer.
He was now in rough and billy
country. The road was bad, and the
weary horse stumbled constantly.
A pistol shot rang out behind him.
The Frenchmen were near enough to
shoot at him.
He knew that cruelty would not
make his horse go faster.
Before him rose trees that obscured
the way. He could not see the ground
ten feet from his horse.
Three pistol shots rang out together.
With a cry almost like that of human
being his horse dropped to the road.
For an instant he himself was con-
scious Of n singing sensation in the
side. But this was lost in a greater
shock as his horse, as he fell sent the
rider headlong from his back over the
brink Of a yawning ravine, along which
the rough country road had been laid.

At the same moment he heard the
FOSTERING voices of three or four half
drunken fellows under his window.
He was caught between two forces.
To drop from the window at that mo-
ment was to drop into their hands.
Robard would at once call out, and he

Buckford.
The younger Robard carried a lamp.

knife from the pocket. In another in
slant its point had found a soft spot
between the robbers ribs.
Then, with n blow from his fist that
sent the younger Robard Keeling and
the lamp flying against the wall, Buck
ford ran to the window and leaped to
the roof of the shed below. From this
he jumped down to the ground and
came plump upon the roistering party
of four, who were startled at this sud
den alighting Of a rare bird among
them.
"Ho, no! What's this? A robber.
Call RObard, Call Robard. Seize this
fellow! Hold him till Robard comesw
"Foolsv cried Buckford as he saw
the window of his room lighted with
red glare. Il am a guest Of the inn.
My lamp upset. and the house took fire.

Fire, fire." Buckford could hear the
alarm ringing from one end of the
house to the other.
Then from the window of the room

wild rage and despair.

After him, you Frenchmen! The thief
