How like the scene of a summers
day more. than a year past; but how
far sYeeter the maid-how much
more it meant to the man now than
then!
Father, show Mr.. Langford in"
she said, smiling a welcome. Il shall
be glad to take SADIE to the spring"
She took hold of the bride rein
trailing to the ground. Langford
leaped lightly from his saddle.
Il said help me-" he corrected.
THE spring is down there" she d.
rected. 81 think you know the way"
She turned to enter the house.
For an instant, Langford hesitated.
A shadow fell across his face.
81 want you to come, Mary" he
said. simply. 1T is only hospitable,
you know"
"Oh, If you put 1t in that way"
she started gayly down the path.
He followed her more slowly. A
young moon hung in the western
sky. The air was crisp v1th the COM
ing frost. The path was strewn with
dead cottonwood leaves which rustled
dryly under their feet.
At the spring, Swallowed by the
biggest cottonwood, she waited for
him.
Il wish my father would cut down
that tree" she said, shivering.'
You are cold" he said. His voice
was not quite steady. He took of his
coat and wrapped it around her,
despite her protests. He wanted TO
hold her then. but he did not, though
the touch Of her sent the blood bound
ing riotously through his veins.
You shall wear the coat do not
want you to go in yet .
But SADIE has finished. and people
will be coming soon"
L will not keep you long. I want

Some men are wise enough to try
Lew foods and beverages and then gen.
arous enough to give others the bene-
fit of their experience.
A very conservative Ills. man,
however, let his good wife find out for
herself what blessing Postum is to
those who are distressed in many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes:

Lazy S. A better house Mad risen from
the ashes OF the homestead laid waste
by the cattle rustlers. Affairs were
well with George Williston now that
the hand of no man was against him
He prospered.
Louise stepped to the door.
II am in despair, Mary" she said
whimsically. Mrs. White has ordered
me out of the kitchen. What do you
think of that?'
Louise! Did you really have the
hardihood to presume to encroach on
Mother Whites preserves-you-- a
mere bride of five months standing
You should be grateful she didn't take
the broom to you"

ing. Il admit that. | only offered to
peel potatoes. When one stops to con
slider that the whole county is coming
to the "house-warming" of the Lazy
S, one can't help being worried about
potatoes and such minor things
DO you think the whole county is
coming, Louise?" asked Mary.
"Of course" said Louise Gordon,
positively, slipping away again. She
was welcome guest at the ranch, and
her heart was in the success of to-
nights party.
Mary had dressed early. AS hostess,
she had laid aside her short skirt,
leather leggings, and other boyish fix
ings" which she usually assumed for
better ease in her life of riding. She
was clad simply in long black skirt
and white shirt-waist. Her hair was
coiled in thick braids about her we'll
shaped head, lending her most be-
coming stateliness.
Would Paul Langford come? He had
been hidden. Her father could not
know that he would not care to come.
Her father did not know that she had
sent Langford away that long-age
night in December and that he had
not come back-at least to her Natur-
ally, he had been hidden first to
George Williston's "house-warming."
The men of the Three Bars and of the
lazy S were tried friends-but he
would not care to come.
Listen Some one was coming. 1t
was much too soon for guests. The
early October twilight was only now
creeping softly over the landscape. 1t
was a still evening. She heard dis
tinctly the rhythmical pound of hoof-
beats on the hardened trail. Would
the rider go on to Kemah, or would
he turn in at the Lazy S?
Hello, the house," hailed the horse
man, cherrily, drawing rein at the
very door. Hello, within!"
The visitor threw wide the door,
and Williston's voice called cordially:
Come in, come in, Langford! l am
glad you came early"
will you send Mary out, Willis
ton? l need your chore boy to help
me water SADIE here"
The voice was merry, but there was
4 vibrant tone in it that made the
listening girl tremble little. Lang
lord never waited for opportunities.
He made them.
Mary came to the door with quiet
She had known from
he first the stranger was Langford.

CHAPTER XXI.-continued.

Jim slowly and thoughtfully slipped
his revolver into its holster and dis
mounted. Langford, too, sprang light
ly from his saddle.
Black had been waiting for this. His
trained ear had no sooner caught the
soft rubbing sound of the pistol slip
ping into it's lea.hern case than he
leaped to his feet and stretched out
the crumpled arm with its deadly
weapon pointing straight at the heart
of Langford Of the Three Bars.
Now, damn you, we're quits!" he
cried, hoarsely.
2. There was not time for Jim to draw,
but, agile as a cat, he threw himself
against Blacks arm and the bullet
went wild. For moment the advant'
age was his, and he wrested the
weapon from Blacks hand. 1t fell to
the ground. The two men grappled
The struggle was short and fierce
Each strove with all the strength OF
his concentrated hate to keep the
others hand from his belt
When the feet of the wrestlers left
the fallen weapon free, Langford, who
had been waiting for this opportunity
sprang forward and seized it with a
thrill of satisfaction. Command of the
situation was once more his. But the
revolver was empty, and he turned to
throw himself into the struggle empty
handed. Jim would thus be given a
chance to draw.
At that moment Black twisted his
arm free and his hand dropped like a
flash to his belt, where there was a
revolver that was loaded Jim Rugged
him closely, but It was Of no use. The
bullet tore its cruel way through his
side His arms relaxed their hold-he
slipped-slowly- Black
shook himself from of him impatiently
and wheeled to meet his great enemy.
h Quits at last" he said, with an
ugly smile.
Quits indeed! For Jim, raising him.
self slightly, was able to draw at last;
and even as he spoke, the outlaw fell.
Jim, my boy" said Langford, huski'
". He was kneeling, Jim's head in his
arms.
"Well, boss" said Jim, trying to
smile. His eyes were clear.
1T was my affair, Jim, you ought
not to have done it," said Langford,
brokenly.
Its all right-boss-don't you wor.
ry-I saw you-in the hall that night
You are-the boss. Tell Mary so. Tell
her l was-glad-to go-so you could

She-loves you-boss-you needn't be
afraid"
"Jim, / cannot bear it; l must so in
your stead"
ITO Mary-yes." His voice sank
lower and lower. An added paleness
stole over his face. but his eyes looked
into Langford's serenely, almost hap

A Remarkable Recovery.
Mrs. Frank Stroebe, r. F. D. 1, Apple
ton, Wis, writes: "I began using Peru
ma few months ago, when my health
and strength were all gone, and I was
nothing but a nervous wreck, could
not sleep, eat or rest properly, and felt
no desire to live. Peruna made me look
at life in different light, as began to
regain my lost strength.
81 certainly think Peruna is without
rival as a tonic and strength builder. ="

Children Drown in Stock Tanks.
The second death from drowning in
stock tanks occurred near Hill City.
The 2-year-old son of David Thurlow. a
farmer, was playing in the garden,
where his mother was working, and
as he was often in her way she re-
quested him to go elsewhere to play.
He left the garden and went to the
barn yard. Some time afteTward the
mother missed the boy and immed.-
ately began a hunt. His lifeless body
was found in the stock tank, and ne
had evidently been dead almost an
hour. The 14-months-old son of Alb

from the depot, says the Irrigon Irri-
gator, 1t is very mild statement to

ment there than at any other place

ant is one OF the finest in oregon,

prices are very reasonable. II you
want only to spend two bits for

your moneys worth, and If you have
a three dollar appetite and one-dc1-

can fit the two together so as to make
you happy. And you will there rub

piation of heresies and union among
Christian princes.
In many cities where Franciscan
churches are located these sacred edi-
fices are crowded from the very min
ute the devotion begins until the very
last moment at which the indulgence
may be gained. This is true espe-
cially in New York, San Francisco,
Chicago, st. Louis and other large
cities, where thousands Upon thou
sands of pious Catholics from all
parts of these cities visit these priv
ileged churches to secure this grace.
The gaining OF the indulgence is not
confined TO the members Of a Francis
clan parish, but every Catholic so de-
string may, II so inclined and carry
out the requirements necessary, gain
the indulgence.
The indulgence may be gained as
often as the visitor desires, but they
must leave the church, and returning
again. recite a short prayer. The first
indulgence is applicable to the devo-
tee, but the remainder must be appli-
ed to the poor souls in purgatory.
