weakens and degenerates the heart

For this reason the regular use OF
coffee. soon or late, causes a condition

sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead of coffee. At last found

CHAPTER XIV.
The Rescue Of Miss Spencer.

While Hampton fingered between
life and death, assiduously waited
upon by both Nadia and Mrs. Guffy,
Brant nursed his burns, far more Sc
rious than he had at first supposed,
within the sanctity of his tent. Glen
caid meanwhile recovered from its
mania of lynch law, and even began
exhibiting some faint evidences Of
shame over what was so plainly a
mistake. And the populace were also
beginning to exhibit no small degree
of interest in the weighty matters
which concerned the discriminating
love affairs of Miss Spencer.
Almost from her earliest arrival the
extensive cattle and mining interests
of the neighborhood became aggres-
sively arrayed against each other; and
now, as the fierce personal rivalry be-
tween Messrs. Moffat and Mcneil
grew more intense, the breach per-
ceptibly widened. While the infatua.
ton of Rev. Mr.. Wynkoop for this
same fascinating young lady was
plainly to be seen, hfs chances In the
race we're not seriously regarded by
the more active partisans upon either
side.
The regular patrons of the Miners
Retreat were backing Mr. Moffat to a
man, while those claiming headquar-
ters at the Occidental were equally
ardent in their support of the pros
poets OF Mr.. Mcneil. II must be con-
fessed that Miss Spencer fiirted out
rageously and enjoyed life as she
never had done in the effete east.
