fluence of powders in the making and in
the marring of the complexion. AS a
matter of fact, owing to the manner in
which these cosmetics are abused, the
general tendency is to mar rather than

may be both satisfactory and pleasing

1t must be remembered that the basis of
the great majority of powders is starch

A mission Of revenge dominates his

them a record OF crime ranging from
murder and arson down 10 pretty
thievery. Dan Cuuningham's older
brother was then Uuited States De-
putty Marshall, and IN the performance
of his duty as an officer Was killed by
these outlaws. The younger brother
bides his time and eventually becomes
United States Deputy Marshall him
self. Then follow years of relentless
pursuit and prosecution Of the muir
derers of his brother, even unto the
repeated fight and dissolution Of the
clan and the CONVICTION aud death OF
many Of its members.
The courage, the character, the
stern purpose and devotion to duty
of t is man Of iron are we'll shown in
