"Yes. he is my father" answered the
girl, but il you have come to arrest

cow?".
ut is, miss"
''Then let me tell you that while my
father may have broken the law, he
has been guilty of no crime. He sold
the COW to n man who meant to cheat
him out of the price, and discovering
this he took possession and drove her
back home. If the man has sworn out
a warrant it was simply a mean re-

The sheriff had been bested, but 1t
was by a young and good looking
woman. and he did not feel so very
crestfallen as he rode away. His idea
was to arrest the father outside the
house and avoid all trouble with the
daughter.
The next day he returned to the
claim and lay hidden for several hours

millions. DR.. Miles Heart Cure strengthens
and regulates the hearts action, enriches the
blool and improves the circulation.
"Some years ago !. had an attack of the
