But you do not answer my last
query"
Perhaps I did not hear it,"
1T was: How do l stand in your
sight? That is of far more impor-
lance to me now than any unauthor-
lied command from Mr.. Hampton. :"
She glanced up into his serious face
shyly. with little dimple of returning
laughter Indeed: but perhaps he
might not care to have me say. How
ever, as I once informed you that you
were very far from being my ideal,
possibly it may be my duty to qualify
that harsh statement somewhat"
by confessing that l am your
ideal?"
"Oh, indeed, no, We never realize
QUE ideals, you know, or else they
would entirely cease TO be ideals. Ny
confession is KNITTED to a mere admis-
sion that I now consider you a very
pleasant young gentleman"
You offer me stone when ! cry

young men. They are drug on the

(Continued.)

A half-dozen men were starting TO
climb the hillside, following a dim
trail through the tangled underbrush.
Mason stepped up to the ore dump
where he could see better, and watch
ed their movements closely.
Hi, there" he called, his voice
harsh and str.dent You fellers are
not invited to this picnic, an thereH
be somethin' dom ii you push along
any higher"
The little bunch halted instantly
just without the edge of the heavy
timber, turning their faces up toward
the speaker.
Now, see here. Buck" answered
one, taking single step ahead of the
others, and following his hand as a
trumpet to speak through, sit don't
look to us fellers as if this affair was
any Of your funeral, nohow, and we've
come long ahead of the others just
on purpose to give you a fair show to
pull out of 1t afore the real trouble
begins Sabe?"

The little marshal was too far away
for them to perceive how his teeth
set beneath the bristly mustache

upon them, his revolver cleaning ON

Some one fired the ball digging up
the soft earth at the marshals feet,

CHAPTER XXI.

"She Loves Me; She Loves Me Not"
It was no claim of military duty
which compelled Brant to relinquish
Miss Spencer so promptly at the ho-
tel door, but rather a desire to escape
her ceaseless chatter and gain retire
ment where he could reflect in quiet
over the revelations of Hampton. In
this quest he rode slowly up the val
ley of the Bear Water, through the
bright sunshine, the rare beauty OF
the scene scarcely leaving the slight
est impress on his mind, so busy was
it. and so preoccupied. He no longer
had any doubt that Hampton had util-
ICED his advantageous position, as we'll
as his remarkable powers of pleasing,
to ensnare the susceptible heart OF
this young, conf1ding girl. While the
man had advanced no direct claim, he
had said enough to make perfectly
clear the close intimacy of their re-
lation and the existence of definite
understanding between them. With
this recognized as a fact, was he JUS
titled in endeavoring to win Naisa Gill
lis for himself? That the girl would
find continued happiness with such a
man as Hampton he did not for mo-
ment believe possible; that she had
been deliberately deceived regarding
his true character he felt no doubt
That the girl was morally so far
above him as to make his very touch
a proclamation, and at the unbidden
thought of it, the soldier vowed to op-
pose such an unholy consummation.
Nor did he, even then, utterly despair
of winning. for he recalled afresh the
intimacy of their few past meetings,
his face frightened in memory of this
and that brief word or shy glance.
All the world loves a lover, and all
the fairies guide him. AS the Off
GERS eyes glanced up from the dusty
road. he perceived just ahead the same
steep bank down which he had
plunged in his effort at capturing his
fleeing tormentor With the sight
there came upon him the desire to loi-
ter again In the little glen where they
had first met, and dream once more
of her who had given to the shaded
nook both life and beauty. He swung
himself from the saddle, tied a loose
rein to a scrub oak. and clambered 10
/ the bank.
/ With the noiseless step of a plains.
/ man he pushed in through the laby'
rinths OF bush, only to halt petritied
upon the very edge of that inner bar
/ rier. No Pigment of imagination. but
! the glowing reality of flesh and blood
/ awaited him. She had neither seer
nor heard his approach, and he stop
ped in perplexity. He had framed q
! dozen speeches for her ears, yet now
he could do no more than stand an6
gaze, his heart in his eyes. And il
was a vision TO enchain, to hold lip:
/ speechless She was seated with IN
/ studied grace on the edge Of the bank
her hands clasped about one knee heI
sweet face sohered by thousht, heI
eyes downcast, the long lashes plain
" outlined against the clear cheeks
To draw back unobserved was impos
gible. even had he possessed strengtl
of will sufficient to make the attempt
nor would words of easy greeting
come to his relief He could merel,
worship silently as before a sacre,
shrine. II was thus she glanced u

CatallrrIl:
A Guaranteed Cure

One thousand retail druggists
who arc the leaders Of the drug
trade Of the United States, and
that means the world, rated by
Bradstreet's and Dun's at twenty
million dollars and whose retail
business aggregates over seventy
million dollars annual sales, have
agreed to give their name, fnan-
cial backing and endorsement to
the guarantee that Rexall Mucu-
Tone will cure any disease or
trouble arising from catarrh or
they will refund the money. We
arc proud Of our connection with
the Rcxall Remedies, particularly
so Of Mucu-Tonc, because a rem
edy must be something ont OF the
ordinary to get our backing. 1t
is not all profit that leads US and
our one thousand associates into
endorsing this remedy; it is our
years of experience with meti-
cincs and Our knowledge Of them
that makes us believe that Rexall
Mucu-Tonc is bona-hdc tliscov-
cry for the cure Of all ailments
due to catarrhal affection. We
know that it is not a cure at all,
but a remedy built on scientific
lines and not a patent medicine as
each one OF the ono thousand
druggists knows its formula and
its value. 1t has one great add
tional value besides curing consti-
tutional catarrll--tl,at it is a sys-
TEN builder. No such tonic was
ever before designed for the cur
ing OF inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane-nor can it be
improved on in the present age.
Just stop and reason with your
self for one minute. We are do
ing business right here in your
midst. Could we afford to offer
Our name and endorsement 10
Mucu-Tone as we do if we cid
not know that it was an honest
medicine? Could we afford 10
agree as we do that we wifi re-
fund every penny paid us for tic
medicine il it does not benefit.
All we ask is the customers
word and the empty bottle and
ave hand the money back. No
signed certificate. We believe the
public, especially the sick, are
honest, certainly every sick per-
son who suffers from any OF the
following ailments should take ad-
vantage OF or offer to-day Rex
all Mucu-Tone cures catarrh Of
the nose, throat, stomach, intes-
tines, liver, kidneys or bladder,
and any who are convalcscing
from sickness OF any kind should
take advantage OF our offer and
purchase what we recommend as
the best tonic ever sold in a drug
store. We have large trial size
at fifty cents and we guarantee It
or refund your money.

The Rexall Remedies
deserve confidence.
As all these Remedies
are grouped under one
name, they must succeed
or fail together. There
must be 10 weak links
in this chain. One tn
worthy remedy would
mean disaster for the en-
tire plan, If YOU, fol-.
example, purchased the
Rexall Cough Cure and
were not cured by it,
how could we expect
; you 10 place any faith
thereafter in the Rexaii
Dyspepsia Cure or any
o.het member OF the
R,xall family:
You can understand,
therefore, why sucl, anx-
ious care was given to
finding and choosing the
remedies to which the
name "R cxall" was
given. We have ad.
mit.ed none to this cir
Gle until our committee
Of experts had been COIL
WINGED by investigation
and les, that ii was the

Thousand druggists Of

Remember, the success
Of Our enterprise depends
on the merit Of each it,
di1sdaol remedy. Our
reputation, which is our
very business existence,
is at stake. Can you

light! It was little cooler, Tor the
sea breeze had set in. Inc coo' uh
from the surface of the water was
rushing inland to supply the place OF
the heated atmosphere rlsihg ~" a,o
the sun. With the breeze came the
increased murmur Of the distant surf
The dull continuous sound seemed TO
live amid the SUBMITS of the trees far
above the low built house. 1t rose ana
fell with long drawn rhythmic swing.
Already the sounds Of life were nm
Cling with 1.-THE low OF q COW, the
growing of the cocks, the mum oi 'ne
noisier daylight insect life.
Jocelyn moved to the window anu
her heart suddenly leaped to her
throat.
On the brown turf In front or the
house were two men stretched side by
side as If other hands had lald them
there dead. One man was much Digger
than the other. He was OF exceptional
stature. Jocelyn recognized them al
most immediately-Guy DISCARD ana
Joseph. They had arrived during the
night and, not wishing to disturb the
sleeping household, had lain them
down In the front garden to sleep with
a quiet conscience beneath the stars
The action was so startlingly charac-
teristic, SO suggestive Of the primeval,
simple man whom Oscard represented
as one born out of time, that Jocelyn
laughed suddenly.
While she was still at the window
Marie rose and came to her side. Mes
torius was still sleeping. Following
the direction of her mistress eyes,
Marie saw the two men. Joseph was
sleeping on his face, after the manner
of Thomas Atkins ell the world over.
Guy Discard lay on his side, with his
head on his arm.
"That is so like Guy Oscard," said
Marie, with her patient smile; so like,
so like. 1t could be no other man-to
do thing like that"
Jocelyn gave NestOrius back to his
mother, and the two women stood for
moment looking out at the sleepers,
little knowing what the advent of these
two men brought with 1t for one OF
them. Then the Englishwoman went
to change her dress, awaking her
brother as she passed his room.
1t was not long before Maurice Cor
don had Hospitality awakened the
travellers and brought them In to
change their torn and ragged clothes
for something more presentable. 1t
would appear that Nestorius was not
particular. He did not mind dying on
the kitchen table IL need were. His
mother deposited him on this table on
pillow, while she prepared the break
fast with that patient resignation
which seemed to emanate from having
tasted of the worst that the world has
to give.
