T Or Love Of
The Major
BY HENRY COLGATE
Copyright, 1904, by K. N. Whitehead

Major Davis, paymaster, with head
quarters at Fort Brady, was eating his
supper at San Reno ranch, presided
over by Apache Joe, one Of the sleek
est. slickest MeXicans in all the west
The sergeant and the troopers of his
escort were frying their bacon at a
campfire outside. While Jose, who
waited on the officer, was away after
the wine the major received a sudden
shock. The handsomest Mexican girl
he had ever seen softly entered the
room, a finger on her lips, and whis-
pered:
Don't drink the wine, senior. 1t will
be poisoned! Don't sleep in the house
tonight. They come to rob and MUIR

She was gone before the son of Mars
could reach out and grasp her sleeve
or utter a word in reply. He had
stopped at the ranch several times be-
fore and knew that the girl was a re-
cent arrival Jose was back with the
wine a minute after the girl has dis
appeared, but the officer waved him
away, saying:
ut is kind of you, Jose, but not to-
night. In the morning, perhaps, you
may ask me to take bottle along to
Fort Reno and have the colonel SAM
pie it with me-
At 10 O'Clock the major made excuse
that he would rather sleep in his am
buiance, which was provided with
cot, and at II all was quiet within and
without the ranch Within, however,
the Mexican stood at one of the rear
windows peering out into the darkness,
waiting. Without, while all the escort
except single sentinel appeared to be
sound asleep, every mans eyes were
wide open and his carbine rested by his
side.
At midnight to the minute Jose light
ed the candle and passed it back and
forth across the window a dozen times.
Then, taking his revolver from a shelf,
he softly quit the house. and after a
walk of 800 feet he stood before six
men crouchad behind giant cactus.

Five minutes later seven border out
laws crept down to within ten feet Of
the sleeping men. The sentinel stood
as one in a daze. The outlaws crept
another foot and the man on guard
suddenly wheeled, firing his musket
with deadly effect. His recumbent
comrades sprang to their feet and pour
ed in a volley which dropped three ruff

with the feetness of shadows, and it

Successful Rally.

The missionary rally held by
the Christian churches of this
section held at Hopkinsville
Monday was both pleasant and
successful. Preachers from Hen
derson, Cadiz, Paducah, Earring
ton and GAINESVILLE, Tenn, were
present and made strong ad-
dresses. The sessions were pre-
sided over by President Mclean,
of CINCINNATI, Ohio, who made
two inspiring addresses. Miss
LavInia Oldham, for II years a
missionary to Japan, and who is
now at home on furlough, was
present and told Of her work.
Pastors of the various churches
of the city attended the sessions,
and contributed helpfully as well
as enjoying themselves. The
visitors were royalty entertained
by the Hopkinsville people.
There is every indicated that a
quarter of million dollars will
be raised for the work this year.
Much interest centers in the
erection of girls college at
Toxic, Japan, for which a spec
lal fund of $4,000 is being
raised.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK.
The Value Of Advertising.

Advertising is the backbone
of trade.
An article of merit we'll ad-
vertised is almost certain to find
a good market. The man is
wrong who thinks that adver-
Using will sell any article, good
or bad.
1t is necessary to advertise a
good article IN order to introduce
it to the buying public.
To spend good money advertis-
ing a poor article is ridiculous.
Even though the advertising
cause the article to sell a little
at first, the fact that the article
has no merit Will soon become
known-then all the advertising
in the world will not continue to
sell it.
The continuous and straight
forward advertising of an article
is a pretty good guarantee of the
articles merit aud worth. Ad-
vertlse good goods.
