 Doctor A. L. Gustetter has q new portable X ray machine. It is a recent invention, and is very con venient and handy, being easily taken from one house to another All that is necessary is that the house where the machine is used shall have electric lighting fix tures, with the current flowing. The machine is quickly attached to the wire from which a burner has been removed, the "juice" turned on, and the machine is ready for oper- ation. The cumbrus and heavy electrical machine to generate cleo tricity, is done away with.

Maggie. was tingling with indigna-
ton She had caught Hickey fairly in
the &C. Of robbery; she had heard him
confirm the maddening story that he
meant to marry Carrie Downs at day
light. She was thrice more anxious
than before to fly to Tarnahan's and
save her friend, but Hickey would now
be there as soon as she. She would
have TO resort to some other plan to
stop the wedding.
Maggie fancied she could see old
Justice Carey cross as a badger, thin
as a knife, gray as the desert. standing
before Carrie and Hickey swapping out
the words of the sacred ceremony. He
was the only man within a radius OF
100 miles who could perform the rite.
If he would only refuse, the trick
would yet be won!
But she knew old Carey. She knew
he would not refuse, not for love nor
money. He was crazed on the subject
of marrying anyone to anyone else.
He seemed almost to take a devilish
delight in tying together ill-assorted
couples. Then, like lightning, thought
struck in her brain. 1t almost made
her reel with its force. But her whole
horizon was cleared.
She vaulted up into the saddle. Not
a moment did she have to spare.
Brutus leaped at the dig of her spurs
and started madly down the road.
Late as she had started, and consid-
cradle as the distance was, over hills
and through swales, Maggie little

"Yes-now," said Maggie, as roughly
as possible. Hurry up, or well be too
late!"
He disappeared and slammed the
door.
Magic feared he had returned to his
bed. She took out her pistol and was
abont to batter the door. again. when

She knew the little band at once.
There were nine small heifers, the
property Of Mrs. Jordan, "the widow"
They're all rye got in the world"
Mrs. Jordan had told her, smiling
through tears as she spoke, "for Hick-

Almost on the moment, curse and

doubtless through the shying Of their

the liders behind her; "ain't these

The girl recognized the nasal snarl
Of young Hickey.
What answer was made by "Skete"
she could not determine. A murmur
represented the conversation Of the
men, who had evidently halted in the
road.
