Let Elremen Riee on Passes.

An attempt will be made during the
present session to amend the anti
pass law, passed at the session two
years ago. The law is too stringent,
according to a bill introduced in the
house by Representative A. H. McCor-
mick Of Crawford county. The law. as
It now stands. permits only railroad
employees and their immediate families
to ride on passes. The bill introduced
by Mr.. Mccormick makes provision
for policemen and firemen in uni

Former High Sheriff Chesterfield c..
M%iddlebrooks, whose bungalow at High
land lake stands partly over the lake
on stone and cement foundations, was
awakened at four o'clock the other
morning by loud noises which he says
shook his bungalow like an earth ire

He says that after the household
had been shaken out of a sound sleep,
he, not WAITING to dress, went outside
to ascertain the aus of the noise.
He found, he says, that a monster
frog had it's bed directly under he
bungalow. The frog weighed fully
six pounds, he says, and every time it
croaked the bungalow cracked and
shook.

out, as she rode among the trees, that
they were cowboys of her W ranch,
and riding, under evident excitement,
about a strange horseman. She rec
ognized in the escort Stormy German,
the %ferocious foreman of the ranch,
and Denison and Jim Baugh, two of
the most reckless of the These
three carried rifles s1ung across their
pommels, and in front of them rode
the stranger.
Fragments Of the breakfast-table
talk of the morning came back to
Dicksie's mind. The railroad graders
we're in the valley below the ranch,
and she had heard her cousin say a
good deal on a point she cared little
about, as to where the railroad should
cross the Stone ranch. Approaching
the fork of the. two roads toward
which she and the cowboys were rid
ing, she checked her horse in the
shade of a cottonwood tree, and as
the party rode up the draw she saw
the horseman under surveillance. 1t
was George McCloud.
Unluckily, as she caught a glimpse
of him she was conscious that he was
locking at her. She bent forward to
hide a momentary confusion, spoke
briskly to her horse, and rode out of
sight. At Marion's she had carefully
avoided him. Her precipitancy at their
last meeting had . seemed, on reflec-
ton, unfortunate. She felt that she
must have appeared to him shockingly
rude, and there was in her recalling of
the scene an unconfessed impression
that she had been to blame. Often

The Quarrel.

The beginning of the Crawling Stone
line marked the first determined effort
under President Bucks, while under
taking the reconstruction of the sys-
tenn for through traffic, to develop the
rich local territory tributary to the
mountain division. New policies in
construction dated from the same
period. Glover, with an enormous
capital staked for the new undertake
ings, gave orders to push the building
every month in the year, and for the
first time in mountain railroad build
ing winter was to be ignored. The
older mountain lei met the innova-
ton as they met any departure from
their traditions, with curiosity and dis
trust. On the other hand, the new and
younger blood took hold with on
fidence, and when Glover called, "Yo.
heave ho!" at headquarters, they bent
themselves clear across the system for
2 hard pull together.
McCloud, resting the operating or
the shoulders of his assistant Ander-
son, devoted himself wholly to for
warding the construction plans, and
his first clash over winter road-build-
ing in the Rockies came with his W
right-hand man, Mears. McCloud put
in a switch below Piedmont, opened q
material yard and began track laying

ley, when Mears said it was time to
stop work till spring. When McCloud
told him he wanted track across the
divide and into the lower valley by
spring, Mears threw up his hands. But
there was metal in the old man, and
he was for orders all the time. He
kept up a running fire of protests and
forebodings about the danger OF ex-
posing men during the winter season,
but stuck to his post.
Spring found the construction OF the
valley line well advanced, and the
grades nearing the lands OF the Dun.

ON FOOD
The Right Foundation of Health.

Proper food is the foundation OF
health. People can eat improper food
for a time until there is a sudden col
lapse of the digestive organs, then all
kinds of trouble follows.
The proper way out of the difficulty
is to shift to the pure, scientific food.
Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the
foundation up. A New Hampshire
woman says:
Last summer l was suddenly taken
with indigestion and severe stomach
trouble and could not eat food with
out great pain, my stomach was so
sore I could hardly move about. This
kept up until / was so miserable life
was not worth living.
Then a friend finally, after much
argument, induced me to quit my for
mer diet and try Grape-Nuts.
Although l had but little faith I
commenced to use it, and great was
my surprise to find that l could eat
it without the usual pain and distress
in my STOMACH.
$50 / kept on using Grape-Nuts and
soon a marked improvement was
shown, for my stomach was perform
ing it's regular work in a normal way
without pain or distress.
VERY soon the yellow coating disap-
peared from my tongue, the dull,
heavy feeling in my head disappeared,
and my mind felt light and clear; the
languid, tired feeling left, and alto
gether I felt as if l had been rebuilt.
Strength and weight came back rapid
ly and I went back to my work with
renewed ambition.
To-day ! am a new woman in mind
as we'll as body, and l owe it all to
this natural food, Grape-Nuts."

ming over the line and McCloud had

a strong current of discomfort set

dissatisfaction often reached the rail-
road people. Vague talk of an extern

clair for the Crawling Stone valley
crept into the newspapers, and 1t was
generally understood that Lance Dun

to the enterprise.
Dicksie gave slight heed to matters
as weighty as these. She spent much
of her time on horseback. with Jim

Bend, where she rode with frequency,
Marion's shop became her favorite

until Marion's conscience rose and she
practically refused to supply any
more. But the spirited controversy
