erous owner of the good liquor, with a show of indifference l was far from feeling. He was a late arrival. it seemed, and lived in d shanty far up on the mountan-side with two com panions. The three were making rather poor attempt to work a claim they had preempted.
 Getting away from my loquacious miner-friend, l climbed the steep trail to the cabin and set about an investi- gation of it with great caution. The men were at home, and from the sounds issuing from it's closed doors l guessed they were having a rare old time that evening. l approached to the very door and listened with my ear to the blanks to sounds of revelry within. The men were gambling and drinking, and l could hear the clink of coins and the rattle of bottles and the ribald tests with which they made their bets and gloated over their winnings and cursed their luck when they lost. l heard sufficient to make me sure that my much sought bandits were in the cabin, although there was no direct mention of the express robbery.

Tt would have been the rankest

'Tt would have been the rankest folly to have attempted their arrest without ssistance-although dio tackle such a job once in my saiao days. as this scar will testify, ana ne pointed to an ugly wound at the pach of his neck, partially covered by Ills flowing gray locks. But that IS an other story. I decided to call on the United States deputy marshal, man of tigerish bravery, for assistance There was no chink or crack ln lhe door through which l could gam peek at the interior of the caplh, so I dropped down on my hands anu knees and crawled around to the Dack of the cabin where l thought theie might be a window There was Wlh- dow but it was closed with heavy shutter. and l could not find any poihV to peep through but l did ma some thing on the way around. My halo touched something round and smooth, and clutched it involuntarily. IL was one of the little whisky flasks Alter I had left the cabin l struck match and examined it. The label of the car company was still on 1t.
 The deputy marshal was found at one, of the dance halls and he soon summoned reliable posse. We sur rounded the cabin. from which still ls- sued the sounds of reyelry. The men were stationed at every point about 1t. Then the marshal and rapped on the door. In response to our summons one of the miners staggered across the floor and threw the door wide open We tripped him up and rushed over him into the cabin. The men were too drunk to make any resist ance. and we captured them without

The Clew of the Liquor Bottles
 Edited bv William ]. Bacon


Late the third afternoon l stum- bled on the ashes of campfire, and close beside it, among the frs and cedars, I found where horses had been tied. This was what 1 had searched for, and I felt sure that l would here find something of value. I camped a short distance from the place so l would not disturb it, leaving my examination until the next morn ing. when I would have a good light, it then being too dark to attempt such a thing.
 That night, by the light of my campfire. read again the report of the robbery as given by the train hands. Near the last of 1t was the account of the sleeping car porter who related, with evident grief, that he had been relieved of $6.15 in silver, and that the bandits had rifled the liduor cabinet of the buffet, taking with them all of the whisky and few bottles of the rarer and stronger wines.
 Early next morning 1 examined the deserted camp of the highwaymen. There was nothing but burnedout pile of ashes and charred sticks and a few empty bottles. The bottles gave the clew for which l searched. The highwaymen had certainly made their

MAKING SUNSHINE lt Is Often Found in Pure Food.

The improper selection of food drives many a healthy person into the depths of despairing illness Indeed, much sickness comes from wrong food and just so surely as that is the case right food will make the sun shine once more.
 An old veteran of Newburyport, Mass, says: Tn October I was taken sick and went to bed losing 47 pounds in about so days. I had doctor after doctor food hurt m. and had to live almost entirely on magnesia and soda. All solid food distressed me so that water would run out of my mouth in little streams.
 q had terrible night sweats, and my doctor finally said I had consumption and must die. My good wife gave up all hope. We were at Old Orchard Me, at that time and my wife sew Grape-Nuts in a grocery there. She bought some and persuaded me to try it.
 ."I had no faith in it. but took it to please her. To my surprise 1t did not distress me as all other food had done and before l had taken the fifth pack age l was well on the mend The rains left my head, my mind beca-~e clearer and l gained weight rapidly.
 "I went back to my work again and now after six weeks use of the food l am better and stronger than ever be- fore in my life. Grape-Nuts surely saved my life and made me a strong hearty man, 15 pounds heavier than before 1 was taken i'll.
 Both my good wife and I are will ing to make affidavit to the truth of this"

men. They had not stopped there cer- tainly, so took the trail to Telluride, mining camp farther on in the noun tains. Telluride was then camp of 800 or 1000 souls, and there was bit of a mining boom on which daily brought new prospectors to swell It's citizenship, fatuous souls brought there by the greed of gold-a lure that never fails to attract victims ln swarms For three days l searched ln vain through the saloons and dance halls and other places where the rough miners congregated without finding trace of my three rogues. That intal- lible sixth sense of mine was doing it's best to keep me longer in Tellu- ride, although my judgment told me to move on to Silverton; but in the end my intuition won the fight and l remained.
 One evening I was drinking with a raw-boned miner. The whisky was abominable The distillery where 1t was made would never have recog- nized it's product in it's present form. I complained of the poor quality Of whisky and asked my acquaintance if there were not some better stuff to be found in the camp. He said there was not, at any of the bars, but that he had been given an amazingly good drink by miner, whose name he men toned. He said it had been in little bottle which held just enough to tease one, but it was the best liquor he had drunk since he left Kentucky many years before. He licked his lips ill pleasant memory of the drink

 "Elated with my success, l made a survey of the country and discovered half,obscure trail leading farther into the mountains l took up this trail and followed it as best l could until nightfall. Often l lost 1t, and sometimes l spent an hour or more casting about to pick it up again, as l have seen hounds baffled on the trail of a fox About three o'clock that afternoon l found something that made my eyes sparkle. Shattered into a l thousand pieces was the remains of | one of the small whisky bottles on a large flat rock beside the trail where 1 it had doubtless been cast in a playful mood induced by it's contents. Among l the fragments l found the label of the l car company.
 Tt was the dry season, and this was in my favor, for no rains came to obliterate the trail. For five days l followed the bandits across the hills and through the valleys, verifying my route from time to time by fragments of broken whisky bottles along the way, and at the places where they had camped for a night The buffet-car must have been well stocked, for found many bottles in this journey.
 The trail eventually came to a well beaten road, which from my map learned was the stage and mail route from Montrose, the nearest railroad point to Ouray, then rather insig nificant mining settlement. 1 lost nc time in getting to Ouray, for 1t was impossible to trail my men along this road and l was sure they had headed for the mining camp.
