FIJI. Warner of Brunswick was
arrested by Constable AL. Cord
Friday on a charge of stealing q
skiff of the value of S25 from c. j.
Watkins, also of Brunswick.
Watkins and Warner were ar
rayed for a legal battle over this
same skiff some time since, but
owing to the annullihg of town.
ship organization in this county
by the supreme court, the re.
plevin suit did not 60 to trial.
Constable Cord thereupon offer.
ed to turn the skiff over to
Warner, but he declined to re.
ceive it. Watkins then took
charge of it, and Warner recent.
ly went to Watkins premises
and took the skiff unbeknown to
Watkins and repainted it. Hence
Warmers arrest followed. His
trial is set to take place before
Justice G. W. Cunningham of
Brunswick next Tuesday, Sep
tember II.
E. L. Moore, a wild and
woolly darkey hailing from
Miami, was slightly 'stamed" at
Dalton Thursday night by Robt.
Christopher, COL, of Keytesville.
Moore has the reputation of be.
ing bully, and was following
Christopher for the avowed pur.
pose of giving him a humping
over some real or imaginary
grievance. When at a point,
just north of the Bank of Daton,
about 10:30 o'clock p. M,
Christopher turned on Moore,
who was. pursuing him, drew a
pistol and shot his would.be as
sailant in the abdomen. The ball
took effect just above the left hip
and glanced around the body
making it's exit near the navel,
and inflicting only flesh wound,
which was dressed, by DR.. H. E.
Kirkpatrick of Dalton. Unless
this affray brings Moore to his
senses and he ceases being con-
tinually on the hunt of trouble it
is only a question of time as to
when he will meet violent
death. Moore swore out war.
rant for Christopher's arrest.
The warrant was served by Dep.
uty Constable Dick Tisdale of
Keytesville. When taken before
Justice VIM. P. Jared, the de-
fendant gave bond in the sum of
5000. His trial will take place
some time next week.

"Finds Himself Face to Face with Juanita."

In one place in particular the as
sailants seem to have determined to
force an entrance; they have massed
there in numbers, ana those opposed
are in danger Of being swept under.
Dick has prepared for just such an
emergency-he. springs forward and
hurls some object which he snatches
from a box. 1t whirls through the air,
and, striking the ground just at the
outside edge of the enemy's line, ex-
plodes with a fash and a roar that
shakes the very earth.
CONSERVATION naturally ensues
among the Mexican assaiIants. who
believe they are about to be blown
to atoms. Perhaps not a great deal
of damage has been accomplished. as
the force of dynamite is generally
downward, but Dicks object has not
been slaughter, but Iather to produce
panic among their assailants, in
which endeavor he has been signally
successful.
Some stink away like whipped ours.
and the remainder fight with less vim
than before. When a second bomb
bursts. with a concussion even more
deafening than the first, the last straw
has been laid on the camel. The
Mexicans have engaged to fight with
men, but not dynamite bombs, and
they draw the line there.
So quickly do the Mexicans melt
away that presently all who may be
seen are those lying upon the ground.

hand struggle with some of the de-
tenders of the little valley fort. and
these are soon secured.
AS the battle seems to be over, the
brave Americans set to work looking
after their wounded, and quite a num-
Der have received hurts during the
brief but exceedingly desperate ac-
ton. Two saddles will be vacant on
the morrow. BY the light of the fires
the voyagers dig graves and clear the
battlefield of all its terrible evidences
of action. so that in the morning the
eyes of Miss Pauline will not be hor.
rified by the sight of CHASTITY scenes.
Although the enemy has received
such a signal drubbing. that is no sign
he will give up the endeavor to con-
quer. AS soon as possible after the
retreat, Dick hastens TO the tent to
reassure the one who is ever in his
mind. He finds Dora almost in con-
vulsions-those two heavy explosions

making a dreadful exhibition of HIM
self. OF this, though, he was not
aware. He was doing pretty well for
him.
THE mans caddy was an unusually
quiet, stolid lad, boy with a freckled
face quite devoid of expression.
And since the caddy never once
laughed or sneered at his bad play,
the broker took fancy to him. Ana
he said at the end of the round, in
the hope of getting a compliment:

six months. l am quite out of prac-
tice. That is why l am in such bad

are keen, and these enemies who
grapple over the logs can see enough
to know how to fight like demons.
All has happened in an incredibly
brief space of time. Five minutes be.
fore peace and silence brooded over
the valley; and now a stranger COM
believe bedlam had broken loose, and
all the fiends of Tophet were having
high carnival below.
Dick and Bob have divided their
forces, so that one can be at each
end of the little fort, encouraging the
men by precept and example. The
Mexicans who have attacked them
show an unusual ferceness. and Dick
Immediately surmises that Senior Lo-
peg must have given them liberal
doses Of pulQue or some sort of strong
liquor, so as to fire their nerves, and
arouse their most savage passions
Surely the love of money alone could
not make them take such risks.
So desperately does the battle rage
that there is some dagger lest friends
shoot down each other. When Dick
realizes this he roars:
Light the funeral fires! Well toss
the yellow dogs into the blaze! A
torch! torch!"
One is almost Immediately thrust
into his hand, and, srringing to a pile

for this very purpose. he applies the
fire. Instantly flames shoot upward,
other hands have done the same in
three different quarters, and as many
fires illumine the scene.
It is dark no longer, indeed the sun
could hardly do more toward dispell-
ing the gloom, for ds the blaze eats

"They come-the Greek! The Greek!"
Silence no longer holds sway in the
Valley los Muertas-this fatal rifle.
shot seems to have been the signal
for throwing aside me mask; hideous
yells break forth frum this point and
that, which are Immediately answered
by shouts Of defiance from the Ameri-
doubt.
Colonel Bob is certainly in his ele.
ment-he was born fighter, and
never learned the meaning of the word
fear His clarion voice is heard above
all the rest, like trumpet notes:
Hold your fire, boys. make every
shot tell Well show the greasers
how Yankees fight. Steady 1t is,
boys. Listen to, that" as an outburst
is heard more fierce than before
Take 'em on the jump. my hearties!
They come-the Greek. the Greekl"

mixed a trifie, for in the historical
event to which his words refer, 1t was

ed, and she sees matters in their true
light, for when Bob and his men come
gaiioping up later, without the two
ugly prisoners, she gives him a ravish-
ing smile, and throws numerous kisses
across the space that separates them,
much to the amusement of the rough
rangers, not one of whom but secretly
envies the Sheriff OF Secora County
his good luck.
Once beyond the Valley Of Death,
all of them breathe d sigh of relief.
A temporary halt is called on top OF
the divide to rest the animals after
the laborious climb. From this poin.
they can look back into the valley,
and all are struck by the somber APP
pearance it presents-one would i'm.
agine a cloud of some sort hung over
1t, preventing the sunlight from enter
ing and chasing the shadows away.
In great contrast lies the open coun-
try beyond-here all nature seems
bright and joyous, and the golden rays
of old Sol lend the surroundings a
cheerful aspect! BIRDS that avoid the
gloomy valley at the foot of the de-
lille here whistle and MARBLE merrily.
"Yonder lies the El Dorado says
Pauline, as she points across the
plateau.
They look eagerly, fer With most of
the men this is their first trip to the
most famous of all Mexican mines.
and from the hirts that have been
dropped they have a pretty good idea
that all the scenes OF excitement will
not be confined to the road leading to
the El Dorado.
The real fight for the possession OF
the mine will be made at the scene of
the rich deposits. For this they were
enlisted, for this they will receive dou-
BILE pay. and during the journey they
have become so attached to Miss Paul
inc and her fortunes that there is not
man among them who would not
risk his very life in her behalf-her
ways are so winning, her manners so
gentle and yet dignihed, that she
draws all honest hearss to her.

tack, should the Senior Lopez manage
to arouse a still further feeling Of
desperate valor in the breasts of his
followers.
Bob, being relieved of duty, hastens
to reassure his only Dora that he is
very much alive.
Send him to me-" she has implor-
ed Dick, ''for | shall not believe he
Is alive unless | can see his dear
face and-pinch him"
So Bob goes only too gladly-love
does not pinch very severely, and
there are those who rather enjoy the
little twinges of pain when inflicted by
loving fingers.
All is finally in readiness for further
business, in case Senior Lopez infiu-
ences his men to advance once more,
which, after the severe punishment
they have received on this night. Is
an exceedingly problematical thing.
Guards watch at every polnt-one-
half of the little garrison is on duty
at time, while the others seek to
recuperate their energies in sleep. So
the night moves on-the night that
would have been their last in the Val
ley los Muertas had Senior Lopez been
allowed his way.
Dawn comes at last and every one
rejoices. They do not fear much now,
as five hours ought TO take them to
the FL Dorado.

file ere the column passes through.
Dora notices one strange thing, Col
onel Bob and six men remain behind
at the camp. She does not suspect
the truth, and wonders why they have
apparently deserted The main column.
When they have lost sight of the
late camp she turns to Miss Pauline.
What does it mean? VIII they

When we got there he was so very
weak when he would cry he would
sink away and seemed like he would
die.

she said Immediately that we must
feed him Grape-Nuts and, although
had never used the food, we got some
and for a few days gave him just the
juice Of Grape-Nuts and milk. He
got stronger so quickly we were soon
feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself anc
in a wonderfully short time he fat

well.
THAT showed me something worth
knowing and, when later on my girl
came, raised her on Grape-Nuts and

been. You will see from the little

chubby youngster the boy is now, but
he didn't look anything like that be-
