while Pink's gray eyes gazed wistfully
up the cross trail which led to POrter's.

"Mebbe don't want to. The trail to

"YOu don't seem In no hurry to take

Jones had whipped out weapon and
wheeled his horse about.

Luscom gravely, holding out big
brown paw.
Jones grasped 1t eagerly. We've
been good friends up to now, Pink" he
said regretfully. land I'm sorry it's

paused and looked past his rival to-
ward the town.
Luscom was staring at him furious

his good looking face.
Il say. ROXY, you amt sore about

defiantly at the other man. Miss Hen
ME, she's all right. But she and me
don't set no great store by each other.
She says come, and the widder says
go, so there amt nothin' for a feller

Luscom was lighting a cigarette with
trembling fingers "There's only one
thing to do, ROXY Jones'" he said SOL
emnly. "Just don't cross my trail. and
won't cross yours. The widder, she
don't want to talk about nothin' but

Jones grinned happily as they passed
one another and just as each disap-
peared in a cloud of dust along his
own particular trail two brown hands
were waved in friendly farewell.

There was no response from within,
and presently Jones, attired as gor-
geously as Pink Luscom had been
half hour ago, strOde haughtily past
the man on the doorstep and into the
corral where he proceeded to catch a
mount. In a trice he came tearing
through the gate on fiery little black
mare, his long legs dangling in close
proximity to the burned grass.
He too shot resentful scowl to-
ward the ieerng man on the doorstep,
and then he disappeared over the rise
of ground, his dark figure silhOuetted
against the copper glory of the even
ing sky. .. -

and so she firts desperate with Roxy,

mated marriages in Seven Forks. @

ROXY Jones did not look at the cop
per glory of the sunset. With moody
eyes fixed on the we'll worn trail, he
noted reluctantly the diminishing
miles that lay between him and the
crossroads Here. instead of pursu
ing his customary course toward the
town and the domicile of the fascinat
ing widow, he must turn to the righ'
and take the cross trail to Porter's
where Miss Hennie awaited him and
would appear to be disappointed, afteI
all, when he did come.

vanished altogether.

from within the bunk house. He looks

Cummings clasped his hands about

of blasted hopes and aspirations,
the result of our recent election.
A feeling of joy possesses many
of us on account of our victory
in the national election, and
surely it is a matter worthy of
rejoicing because of the momen-
tous issue involved. In many
places the factories have already
lighted up their fires, and the
wheels of industry are beginning
to turn. It is reasonable to eX-
pect that ere long a lively and
joyous prosperity will be felt
throughout the entire country,
and even the negatives will be
found with the common herd

| downcast, and be ye lift up, We
complaining few, and the tide of
prosperity shall come in! Who
is this tide of prosperity? He is
the child of the Republican par
ty! In the midst of rejoicing we
can not avoid a feeling of sad,
ness on account of the failure to
elect Gov. Harris. This is not
so much a personal matter as OF
principle. His defeat was due
to wet votes. The situation was
similar to the situation three

Kidney Troubles May be Sapping
Your Life Away. Titusville Peo-
pie Have Learned This Fact

When a healthy man or woman be-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, headache,
dizzy spells and urinary disorders,
look to the kidneys for the cause of
it all. Keep the kidneys we'll and
they will keep you well. Doan's kid
ney pills cure sick kidneys and keep
them well. Here is Titusville testi-
mony to prove it.
Mrs. Calvin Hunt, living in Titus
vile, Fla, says: Prior to using
DOan's Kidney pills | suffered severe
ly from dull, nagging backaches.
There was also a soreness and lame
ness across the small of my back
which bothered me both day and
night. If | stopped | could hardly
straighten. No position assumed
was comfortable and mornings upon
arising my back would be very lame.
My houSework became a burden and
some days | was hardly able to attend
to my duties. Itwas finally my good
fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney
pills, and | procured a box. Since
using them | have been free from
backaches, the lameneSS and soreness
has vanished and | can now do my
work with ease and comfort. You
are welcome to use my name as one
who can recommend DOan'S Kidney
pills very highly"

Professor William Milligan Sloane
OF Columbia university, In New York
city, who is president Of the National
Institute Of Arts and Letters, recently
suggested that the institute should
bend it's energies to the production Of

hymn.
Professor Sloane is sure that the
need OF the American people for
good national anthem will soon be
supplied by the institute. Ii will be
discussed fully at the next meeting in
November, and ii is likely that a
prize will be offered for the national
hymn Of the future. As yet the sub
Ject has not been taken up officially
by the institute, but DR.. Sloane has
