A ROYAL TONIC
Beats Anything We Ever Sold as a Strength Creator and Body Builder.

Cur wellknown druggist, MT. E. C. Fowler, is very enthusiastic over the delicious cod liver preparation, Vinol. which contains no oil In referring to the matter, MT. Fowler said: We sell many tonics and we handle all kinds of remedies that claim to be tom tcs and strength creators, but when our advice Is asked in regard to q tonic, body builder or strength creator we invariably recommend Vinol. as we know of nothing that can compare with It.
 Tn Vinol modern science has given us all of the tonic, body building and curative clements of that famous old remedy, cod liver oil, actually taken from fresh cods' livers. without a drop of the system-clogging oil which char acterizes old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions.
 tones up the digestive organs. creates a hearty appetite, makes rich. red blood and strengthens every organ in the body
 Our faith In Vinol is so strong that we gladly offer to refund the money In every ease where 1t fails to give satisfaction" b. c. Fowler, Druggist.

 Carleton was an attractive young fellow, fresh-lipped and clear-eyed. He was blessed with social instincts, and possessed the faculty of making friends. Q He watched for opportunities and made polite proffers of several little train courtesies that might well have been accepted. but which were either ignored or Jelly declined.
 She's taking no chances of making undesirable acquaintances," he thought grimly, well, I won't even look at her again this evening. Parhaps in the morning she'll be better-natured. |" Yet he knew 1t was not ill-nature that prompted the girls attitude, for she was graciously affable to the por- ter, and made smiling response when addressed by the pleasant old gem tleman across the aisle.
 In the morning. a cheery remark on the change in the temperature caused by the greater altitude met with brief uncompromising reply.
 He was piqued at his failure.
 q wonder what's the matter with me-" he thought resentfully, do look like a villian or cheap mash err I'd like to know"
 He noted with dismay the huge stack of magazines piled on the opposite seat.
 "No time for conversation-she means me to observe, She needn't worry-I won't speak again, unless very unlikely that he smiled at the suggestion.
 He held himself firmly to this resolve nor. indeed, did he have any encour- agement to do otherwise.
 Hour after hour passed, and with out rudely staring, he watched the lovely face as she sat before him, her slender, erect body swaying lightly in accord with the motion of the train. and reminding him of some beautiful caryatid-as silent and as unrespon- sive. Presidently the conviction began to grow upon thim that the girl was not wholly a stranger to him-that he had met her. or at least had seen here be- fore.

 Puzzled and eager. he was now gazing directly at the girl. halt-un- consciously, and without meaning to address her, he said aloud. T know I must have seen you before-some- where!

 Carleton's heart gave great Mound of fear. His initials were on the case in plain view of the bandit, though hidden from the girl.
 Dora Virginia Channing." she re- piled thoroughly. "I'll save the best dances for youI" and she waved her hand in merry farewell as the man hurried away.
 In the car confusion reigned. The thieves had taken every case and travelling bag and the money sack of the conductor.
 The whole transaction had occupied but three or four minutes. Similar reports came from the other cars.
 A number of passengers left the train and joined the posse, hastily formed to pursue the robbers. No one had been hurt. but the train soon pro- ceeded on its way.

 Under cover of the excitement and confusion. Carleton leaned forward and gently touched her trembling hand.
 Don't faint, please, Miss Charming, now that it's all over! What was in your case?"
 Nothing of value." she answered. trying to smile, and I did not dare claim but one."
 You have saved me from-you don't know what you've done for me, Miss Chaning," earnestly, you can't know Ca, let me tell you who l am, and"
 q know who you are" gently; you are David V. Carleton.

 Her smile came readily enough now, as she looked Into his astonished face e.

 'Who was set upon by thieves and robbers in the devastated city, and who returned to Kansas City with his arm In sling and a blackened. band aged eye? Yes. I heard about him." her lip curled eontemptuously.
 And yet, Miss Charming, but for you I should be in a worse position than he-my experience would remind one of the stage-coach days Goodwins' story was doubted, mine-' You forget, there arc witnesses to this occurrence But. for a moment. my thought was the same as yours that the story you would have to re. late would be even more unbelievable | than Goodwin's and my one impulse was to save your caser But, Miss Charming. how did you know the value of miner" "Oh, I know much more than that Let me see," teasingly, T know that you offered your services to MT. | Hazelton-said you could carry a message to Garcia didn't youT Carleton gasped and blushed

 She glanced up at him with calm, impersonal eyes, and resumed her read- ing with what seemed to Carlton inhos- pitable frigidity.
 he had waited for the porter. He heid his ticket conspicuously in his hand and looked inauiringly at the young lady. her magazine with serene delipera- tion.
 He put his hand up. to his mouth and coughed, then his face reddened as he realized that he was acting like a sehoolboy.

 The disdained porter came to ms rescue and Carlton actually fell into the seat with heavy awkwardness wholly at variance with his accustom- ed ease and grace of movement.

The spirit of cheerfulness is some
times the result Of happy tempera
ment whose nerves have never beer
disturbed by loss, sickness or calamity
Sometimes it is the abundance of youth
still finding a surplus of vigor after
the tolls of the day. Sometimes it is
the expression of character which from
the reserves Of Its own nature and ex-
perience Is able to preserve a cheerful
disposition under even the most dis
couraging circumstances and face life
always with hope and good cheer.
Such a character Is a strength and a
defense not only to him who has IT.,
but to all his associates and to all who
feel his influence. They are the watch
towers Of humanity, whose lights shine
through the dark night of human strug-
gle and whose word is an inspiration
OF hope and encouragement.

The Word Etiquette.

The very high sounding word Ell
quette had very humble origin, for
etiquette meant simply a label. 1t re-
celved its present Specification from
the fact that a Scotch gardener who
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths, and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might pass. At
first these labels were not attended to,
but hint from high quarters that in
future the walks of the courtiers must
be within the "etiquettes' or labels
was promptly attended to. To keep
within the etiquettes became the cor
rect thing. The meaning of the phrase
was afterward widened.
