The citizens of Colfax were on,hand
in full force to meet the boosters Of

The speakers were all in fine fettle,
and seemed to be inspired by tine

and all they had to say met with
hearty applause. The late hour,
making it necessary for us to GO to

Suffice it to say the business men OF
the town and many ladies were out
in full force, and visitors and home
folks fraternized and mingled togeth-

A Paris physician. r. Il. Romme,
has recently announced new cure
for cold IN the head In reality. Or,
Romme's cure IS said to have been
discovered 100 years ago by an Eng
lish doctor named Williams, well
known at the close Of the eighteenth
century.
The remedy Is simplicity itself All
one has to do is 10 abstain from all
liquids during period OF "a to 4S
hours, starting from the moment when
the sufferer feels the first irritating
symptoms Of cold in the head
Bread, fish. vegetables, white meat
and pudding may be eaten, but bev-
erages should be taken in very small
quantities, a spoonful OF tea. coffee
or milk in the morning and small
glass OF water going 10 bed, or II pos
sible not taken at all.
Il is not necessary to remain at
home The dry cure, in fact, Is more
rapid and complete If the sufferer

or would cease altogether through

Having bidden Bill good night with cut saying a word in disparagement of the Bat hotel (moved by a new un- selfshness which would not for the world have hurt his friends feelfngs), Loveland took off collar, necktie and shoes to roll himself up in the disin- fected blanket. The bed was not more than three or four inches too short for his tall body, and. though the mat tress and pillow were as flat as stale jokes and hard as poverty, Val fell asleep.
 Sleeping. dreams came to him more real in seeming than any happenings of the strange nightmare day just passed. They were of storms at sea, of fighting in South Africa, and when a light persistent tapping at the thin door wrenched him awake he thought he was being called for night sortie.
 'EYesi. All right!' he muttered, sit ting up dazedly. 'I-what''-
 ssh! You'll rouse everybody" whis- pered Bill Willing's warning voice. Unlock the door, will you?''

.E ALMOND EYES.

IZZIE OF THE ALMOND EYES. F T was not often that LoveIand came
 into personal relations with sun-
 rise, and to see the rose and gold A en banners float high and higher above the roofs and sleeping windows of New York was like being first gazer at some great painting in a private view. There were hope and promise of joy in such beauty, but he felt wretch edly out of the picture in his rumpled evening clothes.
 The virginaI purity of dawn, trans lucent above the turgid darkness of the town. made Lesley Dearmer seem suddenly to be very near to him, so that the air shone with her invisible presence. How sweet she was, how delicately quaint in all her thoughts, how kind to others despite her clear wit and how sure of ultimate goodness as she was of life!
 Lesley had said that she had faith in his other side," as she had faith in the other side of the moon, though she did not expect ever to see either. ''You will always go on getting what you want,'' she had prophesied just before they parted. What would she think of that prophecy if she were even to dream of this humiIiated figure creep ing out of night to new day?
 Bills hatchet face glimmered sallow and shabby through the pearly twt- light, and there was frayed look un- der the patient, humorous eyes. Are you cold?'' he asked.
 "A little." replied Val. 'But don't mind.''
 ''You ain't used to the climate yet" said Bill. "and I'd make you squeeze into my overcoat only I'm bit too sketchy underneath. Can't afford to get me winter wardrobe back from my uncle's yet.''

 By the time that Bill had made his plans clear Loveland's drugged mem- ory had begun to work He recalled everything with the sensation of hay ing opened a gate to set free a troop of grunting< wild pigs. He was cold. The carbolic smell, which he hated, made him feel sick. His head throb- bed as if tacks were being stuck into his temples and torn out again. His muscles were stiff, and he felt more tired than when he had lain down. It was disgusting to think that he had slept in his clothes in such a place as this and had nothing fresh to put on, and he loathed his own body because of the squaIor in which it had consent ed to waIIow.
 How he longed for cold bath in a great white porcelain tub, clean linen, neat tweeds and the luxurious silver toilet things, all of which would have been his morning portion at home or at the hotel he had left. But repinings only added to the hatefulness of his situation.
 He made himself as neat as he could, did not grumb2e at the washing ac- commodadons and moved with eau ton for fear of disturbing men whom twenty-four hours ago he would have considered no more than sheep. That was because he had been of the broth arhood, and, though he expected soon to give up his membership, he would never be able to forget. Men such as these with whom he had touched shoulders would never be things for him again.
