CHRONIC cATARH CURED
HyoncTs Wonderful Action in Curing A Case of Thirty Years Standing Guaranteed by Ii Goodman

DO not try to crUe catarrh by talk ing drugs into the stomach. It can not be cured in that manner. The only way in which this common dis ease can be cured is through direct application that will kill the germs of catarrh and prevent their growth. Hyomei is the only known method Of treatment that accomplishes this. It is the simplest, most pleasant, and only absolute cure for catarrh that has ever been discovered.
 Mrs. C. A. Derby of Beverly, Mass, writes: My husband has had catarr- hal trouble for thirty years and Hyo- mel is the first thing which has ever helped him. He had catarrh in its worst form and nothing except Hyomei ever had any effect on it whatever. This gave him relief from the first and he has steadily improved until now he is cured"
 The complete Hyo-nei outfit costs but one dollar, consisting of an inhaler and sufficient Hyomei to last for several weeks. Extra bottles can be obtained for fifty cents. H. Goodman has so much confidence in the power of Hyo- mel to cure catarrh that he will sell the treatment under his personal guar antee to refund the money if the pur- chasers can say it did not benefit. ASK him to show you the strong guarantee under which it is sold

CAUSE OF THE DOWNFALL

Archbishop Ryan tells story of a philanahropic man who used to make a practice of visiting the eastern pent- etntiary, in Philadelphia, and becoming acquainted with prisoners about to be released, so as to help them make d new start in life.

Falling hair is caused by dandruff, which IS a germ disease. The germ in burrowing into the root of the hair, where it destroys the vitality of the hair. causing the hair to fall out, digs up the cuticle in little scales, called dandruff or scurf. You can't stop the falling hair without curing the dan cruff, and you can't cure the dandruff without killing the dandruff germ. De stroy the cause you remove the effect" Newbro's Herpfcide is the only hair preparation that kills the dandruff germ. Herpicide is also delightful hair dressing. Sold by leading drug gsts.

regard TO the doings below, turned to
the stairway.
AS she did so two men mounted.
They examined the rooms of the upper
story hastily but carefully, paying
scant attention to her. and departed
swearing. In a few moments they re-
turned for the strangers trunk. Nell
followed as far as the stairway There
she heard and saw things. and fled in
bitter dismay to the back of the house,
when Billy Knapp was overpowered.
At the window she knelt, cIasping
her hands and placing her head be-
tween her bare arms. Women in the
West, at least women like Nell, do not
weep. : It she came near it. Suddenly
ear had addressed her.
She looked here and there and
around, but could discover nothing.
Here. outside" came the low, guard
ed voice. In the tree"
Then she saw that the little stranger
had not stirred from his first sighting
place.
BEG your pardon, ma'am for start
ling ycu or for addressing you at all,
which / shouldn't, but"
"Oh, never mind that" cried the girl
impatiently, shaking her hair. SO de-
precating and timid were the tones
that almost without an effort of the
imagination she could picture the little
mans bushes and his half-sidling
method of delivery. At this supreme
moment his littleness and lack of self
assertion Jared on her mood. What
you dCin'I there? Thought you'd vam-
ooSed."
1T was safest here" exclaimed the
stranger. II left no trail"
She nodded comprehension of the
common sense of this
But, ma am. l took the liberty of

be in trouble. OF course / amt got no
right to ask, an if you don't care to

Nell with a sob.

Billy amt cachein' nothin'; but they
thinks he is.''
Its me theys after, all right
enough. Now you knows where l am,
why don't you tell them an save
Billy?'
The girl started, but her keen West
ern mind saw the difficulty at once.
They thinks Billy pertects you, jest
the same"
The San Francisco call., 1904-08-07

DO you love him? ?" asked the stran-
ger.
God knows I'm purity tough" con-
fessed Nell sobbing, but 1 jest do
that" and she dropped her head again.
The invisible stranger in the gloom
fell silent, considering.
I'm purity rank proposition my
self said he at last, as if to himself.
"and l got job on hand which same
l ought to put through without givin'
attention on anythil' else. AS a usual
play, folks don't care for me and
don't care much for folks. Women in
general. They drive me plumb tired.
L reckon / don't stack up very high on

know a little gals waitin' for me some
where's. They amt none. They never
will be. 1 amt built that way. You
treated me white tonight. You're the
first woman that ever kissed me of her
own accord"
The girl heard a faint scramble, then
the soft pat OF some one ldnQlDS on MS
feet Peering from the window, she
made out a faint shadowy form steal
ing around the corner Of the hotel. She
put her head to her heart and listened.
Her understanding of the strangers
motives was vague, but she had caught
his confession that her kiss had meant
much to him, and even in her anxiety
she felt an inclination to laugh. She
had bestowed that caress as she would
have kissed the cold end of dogs
nose.
The men below stairs, after some dis
cussion, had decided on bullet. This
was out of consideration for BiIly's
standing as a frontiersman. Besides,
he had stolen no horses. In order not
to delay matters the execution was
fixed for the present time and place.
Billy stood with his back to the logs Of
his own hotel. his hands and feet
had never lost his nerVe. In short re-
spit which preparation demanded, he
told his opponents what he thought OF
them.
PROUD" he concluded a long solilo-
guy as if to the reflector of the lamp
"Proud?' he repeated meditat1Vely-

Hank firmly about the waist, whirled
him into sort of shield and began an
earnest struggle for the instant pos
session of the outlaws drawn revolver
1t was a gallant attempt, but unsuc-
cessful. In a moment Billy was PIN
ioned to the floor and Black Hank was
rubbing his abraded forearm. After
that the only question was whether it
should be rope or bullet.
Now, when Billy had gone down
stairs, the stranger had wasted no more
time a the window. He had in his
possession $50, 900 in greenbaclxs which
he was to deliver as soon as possible to
the Buck Tail Agency in Wyoming.
The necessary change of stage lines
had forced him to stay over night at
Billy Knapps hotel.
The messenger seized his bag and
softly ran along through the canvas
partitioned rooms wherein Billy slept
to narrow window which he had al
ready noticed gave out almost directly
into the pine woods. The window was
of oiled paper, and its catch baffied
him. He knew it should slide back,
but it refused to slide for him. He
did not dare to break the paper be-
cause of the cracking noise. A voice
at his shoulder startled him.
''Pll show ycu,' whispered the red
checked girl.
She was wrapped loosely in blan-
ket, her hair falling about her shoul-
der, and her bare feet showing beneath
her. coverings. The little man suffered
at once an agony of embarrassment in
which the thought of his errand was
lost. 1t was recalled to him by the
girl.
There YOU arei" she whispered,
showing him the open window.
Thank you," he stammered pain
fully, Il assure you-I. wish"
The girl laughed under her breath.
That's all right" she said, heartily.
Il owe you that for calling old whis-
kers off his bronze and she kissed him.
The messenger, trembling with self
consciousness. climbed hastily through
the window, ran the broad loop of the
satchel up his arm, and, instead of
dropping to the ground, as the girl had
expected, swung himself lightly into
the branches of a rather large scrub
oak that grew near. She listened to
the rustic of the leaves for moment
as he neared the trunk, and then, un-
able longer to restrain her curiosity In

thar is one tenderfoot who knows as
much of ridin' express as a pig does of
war"
Il notices he's almighty particular
? bout that thar carpet bag of his'n,"
insisted Charley.
The man against the counter had lost
nothing of the scene. Billy denial, his
hesitation, his half-truth all looked
suspicious to him. With one swift
round sweep of the arm ne had Billy
covered. Billy's arms shot over his
head without the necessity of a COM
mand.
The men ceased their occupations
and gathered about. Scenes of this
sort were too common to elicit COM
ment or arouse excitement. They knew
perfectly the Iaissez-faire relations
which obtained between the two West
erners.
Now" said Black Hank angrily in
low tone, 81 want to know why you
tried that monkey game"
Billy, wary and afraid, replied that
he had tried no game, that he had for
gotten the tenderfoot for moment, and
that he did not believe the latter would
prove to be the sought-for express mes
senger.
One of the men. as signal from his
leader, relieved Billy's belt of consider
able weight. Then the latter was per-
mitted to sit on a cracker box. Two
more mounted the little stairs. In a
moment they returned to report that
the upper story contained no human
beings, strange or otherwise, except
the girl, but that there remained a
small trunk. Under further orders they
dragged the trunk down into the bar
room. 1t was broken open and found
to contain clothes, of the plainsman's S
cut, material and state of wear, a
neatly folded Mexican saddle showing
use, and a rawhide quirt.
"Tenderfoot!" said Black Hank con-
temptuousy.
The outlaws had already scattered
outside to look for the trail. In this
they were unsuccessful, reporting in
deed, that not the faintest sign indi-
Gated escapeyin any direction.
Billy knew his man. The Tightening
of Black. Hanks close-knit brows
meant but one thing. One does not
gain chieftainship of any kind in the
West without propping ascendency
with acts of ruthless decision. Billy
leaped from his cracker box with the
suddenness of the puma, seized Black
