THE first cupful surprised me. It
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this

who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"A few days after, l met him and
he was full Of praise for Postum, de-

Comm. Dick. didn't mean to blab
so much" Jim answered. contritely.
They moved away. Sanderson fol-
lowed them up.
''Dick Gordon he said with cool
deliberateness, you're too damned
anxious to stick your nose into other
peoples affairs. Learn your lesson,
will you? My favorite stunt is to
teach meddlers how to mind their own
business-this way"
It was not fair blow. Gordon
doubled up with the force of the punch
in his stomach. In a moment all was
confusion. Men drew their pistols. 1t
looked as IL there was to be free-for'
all fight
Langford sprang to his friends aid
using his fists with plentiful freedom
in his haste to get to him.
Never mind me-" whispered Cor
don. He was leaning heavily on Jim's
shoulder. His face was pale, but he
smiled reassuringly. There was some
thing very sweet about his mouth
when he smiled. Never mind me. u
he repeated. Get the girls out OF
this-quick. Paul"
Mary and Louise had sought refuge
behind the big table.
Quick, the back door," cried Lang
ford, leading the way; and as the
three passed out, he closed the door
behind them, saying, You are all
right now. Run to the hotel. l must
see how Dick is coming on"

Il think you had best get out of this
as quickly as you can. | don't believe
he is knocked out. by any means, but

events which may be called. Just fly
now, both of you
The unfair blow in the stomach had
given the sympathy of most of the
bystanders. for the time being at least
to Gordon. Men forgot, momentarily
their grudge against him. Understand
ing from the black looks that he was
not in touch with the crowd, Sander
son laughed-a short snort of con
tempt-and slipped out of the door.
Unable to resist the impulse, Jim
bounded out after his enemy.
When Paul FASTENED around to the
front of the building. the crowd was
nearly all in the street. The tension
was relaxed A dazed expression pre-
vailed-brought to life by the sudden
ness with which the affair had devel-
oped to such interesting proportions
and the quickness with which it had
flattened out to nothing. For Sander

disconsolately.

But Jim only turned and walked
away with his head in the air. The

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal Is the safest and most efficient
disInfectant and purifier In nature. but
few realize Its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans

Charcoal Is remedy that the more

drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
In the stomach and intestines and car
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and Inn
proves the complexion. 1t whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect In the stomach and bowels: IL
disinfects the mouth and throat from
