BRAIN POWER
Increased by Proper Feeding.

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a
family. found in Grape-Nuts the ideal
food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-
Il am an enthusiastic proclaimer of
Grape-Nuts as a regular diet | for
merly had no appetite in the morning
and for years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.
unable to eat breakfast l felt faint
later, and would so to the pantry and
eat cold chops, sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything l happened to find.
Being n writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep.
when read of Grape-Nuts | began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
Within a week | had plenty of
breast milk, and felt stronger within
two weeks. l wrote evenings and
feeling the need of sustained brain
power, began eating a small saucer of
Grape-Nuts with milk instead of my
usual indigestible hot pudding, pie, or
cake for dessert at night.
"Grape-Nuts did wonders for me
and learned to like it. did not mind
my housework or mothers cares, for
l felt strong and full of go l grew
plump. nerves strong. and when 1
wrote my brain was active and clear;
indeed. the dull head pain never re-
turned"

CHAPTER VII.
The Preliminary.

Very early in the morning of the
day set for the preliminary hearing of
Jesse Black the young owner of the
Three Bars rode over to Velpen. He
identified and claimed the animal
held over from shipment by Jim's per-
'suasion. Brown gave possession with
a rueful countenance.
First time Billy Brown ever was
taken in," he said, with great disgust.
Langford met with no interruption
to his journey, either going or coming,
although that good cow-puncher of his,
Jim Munson, had warned him to look
sharp to his pistols and mind the
bridge. Jim being of somewhat
belligerent turn of mind, his boss had
not taken the words with seriousness.
AS for the fracas at the pontoon, cow
men are touchy when 1t comes to a
question of precedence, and it might
we'll be that the infiammable Jim had
brought the sudden storm down on his
head. Paul Langford rode through
the sweet early summer air without
let or hindrance and looking for none.
He was jubilant. Now was Willis
toms story verified. The county at
torney, Richard Gordon, had consid-
cred Willistons story, coupled with
his reputation for strict honesty,
strong and sufficient enough to bind
Jesse Black over to appear at the
next regular term of the circuit court.
Under ordinary circumstances the
state really had an excellent chance
of binding over; but it had to deal
with Jesse Black, and Jesse Black
had flourished for many years west of
the river with an unsavory character,
but with an almost awesome reputa-
ton for the phenomenal facility with
which he slipped out of the net in
which the lawn the person of its
unpopular exponent, Richard Gordon
was so indefatigably endeavoring to
enmesh him. The state was prepared
for a hard fight. But nowhere was
the very steer Williston saw on the
island with its Three Bars brand I'M
der Blacks surveillance. Williston
would identify it as the same. He,
Langford, would swear to his own ami
NAL. The defense would not know he
had regained possession and would
not have time to readjust its evidence.
II would fall down and hurt itself for
the higher court, and Dick Gordon
would know how to use any inadver-
tencies against it-when the time
came. No wonder Langford was light
hearted. In all his arrogant and I'M
hampered career he had never before
received such an affront to his pride
and his sense of what was due to one
of the biggest outfits that ranged cat.
fle west of the river. Woe to him who
had dared tamper with the concerns
of Paul Langford of the Three Bars.
Williston drove in from the Lazy
8 in ample time for the midday din
ner at the hotel-the hearing was set
for Q o'clock-but his little party con-
tented itself with a luncheon pre-
pared at home and packed neatly and
appetizingly in tin bucket It was
not likely there would be a repetition
of bad meat. II would be poor policy.
still. one could not be sure. and il
was most important that Willistcn ate
no bad meat that day.

methods. including the advertising OF
special features Of his services in the
newspapers. He was active in church
and temperance work and built Up his
church from feeble body 10 a large
