known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts PLEASANTLY and naturally and

changing stream of theirs, which ever
cut them off from the world of their
fathers and kept them bound, but rest

their mothers had stared stolidly at a
strange little boatload tugging up the

ultimate destiny of this broad north

l had thought that civilization
meant the attainment of peace and

by consequence the attainment of the

And he did stay with her all through
the long watches of that long night.
He never closed his eyes in sleep.
Sometimes Mary would drop off into
uneasy slumber-always of short du-
ration. When she awakened suddenly
in wide-eyed fright, he soothed her
with all tenderness. Sometimes when
he thought she was sleeping, she
would clutch his arm desperately and
cry out that there was some one be-
hind the big cottonwood Again 1t
would be to ask him in a terrified
whisper if he did not hear hoof- beats,
galloping, galloping, galloping, and
begged him to listen. He could al
ways quiet her, and she tried hard to
keep from wandering; but after a
short, broken rest, she would cry out
again in endless repetition of the ter
rors of that awful night.
Mrs. White and several of her small
progeny breathed loudly from an ad-
joining room. A lamp burned dimly
on the table. 1t grew late-12 o'clock
and after. At last she rested. She
passed from light, broken slumber to
deep sleep without crying out and
thus awakening herself. Gordon was
tired and sad. Now that the flush of
fever was gone, he saw how white and
miserable she really looked The cir
cles under her eyes were so dark
they were like bruises. The mantle
Of his misfortune was spreading to
bring others besides himself into Its
somber folds.
The men were coming back. But
they were coming quietly, in grim 81

for the news he knew they must carry.
He stepped noiselessly to the door to
warn them to yet greater stiffness
and met Langford on the threshold.

The long day wore along. Mother
White was baking. The men would
be ravenous when they came back.
Many would stop there for something
to eat before going on to their homes.

morrow, it might not be until the day
after, but whenever the time did come,

At last came the doctor and Gordon,
driving up in the doctors top-buggy,
weather-stained, mud-bedaubed with
the mud of last spring, of many
springs. The doctor was a badly
dressed, pleasant-eyed man, past mid
ers. He was sort of journeyman

day two summers ago from the Lake
Andes country in this self-same trav-
el-worn conveyance with its same
bony sorrel. He had found good

had elected to remain. He was part
and parcel of the cattle country now.
He was an established condition. Peo-
pie had learned to accept him as he
was and be grateful. Haste was a
mental and physical impossibility to
perforce acquiesce.

exclaimed heartily. He had been half
joking when he spoke of keeping
things away. He now perceived that
these things were more serious than
he knew.
The doctor administered medicine to
reduce the fever, dressed the wounded
arm, with Gordon's ready assistance
and then called in Mother White to
prepare the bed for his patient; but
he paused nonplussed before the
weight of entreaty in Mary's eyes and
voice.

Not Ready Yet to Give opinion--Pris

The examination was of preliminary
character, Thaw and the physicians
talking casually together for about
half an hour. After the examination
Dr. Ferriss said it was too early to
give an opinion on Thaw's mental con.
