 "Yes," she answered simply, 'Tm
 'Then," said Busby, its clear enough to my mind that In interfering with this execution you're preventing me from doing you a great favor. Howsomever, if you stick to 1t that you don't want him shot and if you'll take him out of Nevada and keep him out
 The girl did not wait for him to tin- ish. She transferred her grasp from Busby's arm to that of Harrington, who during the preceding conversation had stood silent, his face white, his limbs trembling. cold sweat beading his forehead.
 Come, Harry" she said imperiously.
 Weekly, with bowed head and down. cast eyes, Burlington suffered her to lead him aboard the train, which was now, the track being clear, about to move eastward.
 Jim Busby sat down upon the edge of the platform and burst into a roar of laughter. Long after the train had disappeared around the curve below the station the station master found him there, his broad shoulders still shaking with merrlment.
 Well, you doddering idiot" said the station master, whats the joke"
 "Oh, ain't he going to get his all right, though?" queried the mirthful Busby. Did you hear her Come, liar ry,' him and snake him aboard the train like he'd been puppy hltched to a string? He got out of being exc cuted, but he's getting life sentence, and that's whole lot worse"

Cures that last are cures that tell. To thoroughly know the virtues of a medicine you must investigate the cures and see if they prove perma- nent. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this test, and plenty of proof exists right here in this locality. People who test filed years ago to relief from backache kidney and urinary disorders, now de- clare that relief was permanent and the cure perfect. Can any Alaskan sufferer longer doubt the evidence?
 J. Prenatt, 31l Third Ave. N., Se- attle, Wash, says: The relief l re- ceived from Doans Kidney Pills over three years ago, has been permanent and I, therefore, cheerfully confirm the public statement l gave in favor of the remedy at that time. For two years l had attacks of backache and my kidneys were so weak that the least cold l contracted settled in them making my condition worse. Deans Kidney Pills promptly disposed of the pains in my back and regulated the passages of the kidney secretons. A the present time there is not symp- tom of my former trouble remaining. I advise anyone afflicted with kidney complaint to give Doan's Kidney Pills a trial"

grew uneasy. Jim Busby might at aBy moment deem that he had imbibed a quantity of liquor commensurate with his contemplated task and begin to search for him. But at the end of twenty minutes. to his great relief, the persplrlng train crew succeeded in re- placing the deraned car, and the freight train pulled slowly out upon a siding. Even as 1t did so Burlington caught sight of the 2:5O train as it rounded the curve just beyond the sta tion
 A moment later Susie Cutler, her trim little figure set off by a skillfully tailored gray travelling suit and her face wearing the look of determination benttug a girl who had just completed a journey nearly across the continent alone, descended to the platform of Gilt Gulch station. Harrington rushed toward her joyfully. Within three steps of her he encountered an Obsta- cle-a very serious obstacle. This was nothing less than the muzzlc of a re volver. Behind the revolver stood Mir. James Busby.
 "Now, young man." said Mir. Busby, well attend to your little matter, and we won't be long doing it"
 Then Busby became suddenly con scious of a voice, evidently feminine, proceeding from some point in his rear and of the light pressure of a hand upon his arm.
 Do you know" said the voice, its dreadruny careless of you pointing that thing at anybody so. Why, it might go off"
 Turning about, Busby looked into the piQuant features of Susie Cutler. He decided unhcSitatingly that, not withsmudlng some frccilcs and the tendency of the nose to turn up, it was a rather pleasing face to view.
 "So 1t might" said Busby slowly. "So it might"
 well, then, stop aiming 1t at Har- Mir. Harrington" she commanded. You make me nervous"
 Fact is," said Busby, "l was sort of planning to shoot Mir. Burlington"
 He had lowered his weapon and spoke very calmly and deliberately.
 "Whatw shriekcd the girl. You have the audacity to stand there and tell L.r you mean to commit a cold blooded murder? Where are the po- lice? A splendid place this must be to live in. where a man goes out to kill another as coony as he'd eat his breakfast"
 That's the way with all you folks from out Boston way" grumbled Bus by. You're always getting murder and the administration of justice mixed. I ain't going to murder him. I'm going Co execute him. He's done me dirt. and if he ain't killed he'll do somebody else dirt. So for the good of everybody he'd ought to be shot What do you care anyway? Ain't no relative of yourn. is hc?"
 "Why, uo," she answered in some confusion, "hc isn't a relative exactly that is, hc"-
 A glcam of comprehension shone in Busby's eyes,
