Re had conceived, some dozen years
before after paying tremendous freight
charges, the proprtety of establishing
his own line of freight steamers. 1t
had amused him to combine the prac-
tise Of the ancient merchant prince
with the customs of the modern one.
He had bought the controlling inter
est in a freight line of half a dozen
large steamers, which he found no
difficulty in using as cargo carriers
for other people when they we're not
supplying his own needs.
The purchase of the freight line had
with it a lease of one of the piers in
the North river. The lease had run
out the year before. He had there
after availed himself of what he con
ceived to be an excellent opportunity
of s~ubleasing another pier in the East
river. The city had just completed an
elaborate railroad, surface and sub
way, for the transportation of heavy
freight from the water front to the
great mercantile establishments in,
land. This system had been leased
to the Gotham Freight Traction com
pany, a vast corporation with a full
set Of ~ostensible promoters and d.

SYNOPSIS.

A foolish young tenderfoot becomes
fascinated with the bold. artful wife OF a
drunken prospector in a western mining
town. They prepare to elope in a blind
ing blizzard but are confronted by the
maudlin husband. He IS shot by the
wife, but the chivalrous boy pins a
note TO the body taking the crime
upon himself. In their flight to the
railroad station the woman's horse
falls exhausted; the youth puts her
on his own and follows hanging to the
stirrup strap. Seeing he IS an fmpedi-
ment. the woman thrusts her escort into
q snow drift and rides on. Half-frozen
he stumbJes into the railroad station just
az the train bears the woman away.

Insures You for Months Against a
Sick Headache, BflIiousness, Con-

Put aside-just once-the Salts, Ca
thartic Pills, Castor Oils or purgative
waters which merely force a passage
way through the bowels, but do not
thoroughly cleanse, freshen and purify
these drainage or alimentary organs,
and have no effect whatever upon the
liver and stomach.
Keep YOUR reside organs pure and
fresh with Cascarets, which thorough
~ cleanse the stomach remove the I'M
digested, sour and fermentlng food and
foul gases, take the excess bile from
the liver and carry out of the system
all the decomposed waste matter and
poisons in The intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel great by morning. They work
while you sleep-never grippe, s1cken
and cost only 10 cents a box from your
druggist. Millions of men and women
take a Cascaret now and then and never
have Headache, BilliOuSness, coated

in every household. Children just love
to take them.

THE FATNESS OF HEALTH
Samose Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.

If you are thin, your health is not
what it should be. If you are losing
weight steadily, there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once You cannot be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good, solid beau
tiful flesh can only come through the
use of Samose, the remarkable flesh
forming food
Samose is not drug or a stimulant;
it is a scientific flesh forming food that
restores thin people to a normal con-
dition of good healthy flesh
These statements are confirmed by
Geo. w. Stansfield's offer to refund the
money to anyone buying and using
Samose who does not gain in weight as
promised. The risk is all his. The
thin and scrawny can buy Samose at
Druggist Stansfield's store, 632 Kansas
avenue, Topeka, with the knowledge
that if it is not successful it will cost
absolutely nothing. Send postpaid on
receipt of price, so cents.
