Young men, old men, middle

the hair thins out on the top Of the
head and the bald spot is getting
ready 10 appear in public.
They don't know what to do; they
get ratified, ask advice, try special

thing they ought not to do.
To these men we want to say that
the Harper house pharmacy has a
prescription for the hair called
Partisan Sage and if it will not cause
hair TO grow where the hair is thin

And We want TO say TO everybody,
man, woman and child, that you can
have your money back if Partisan

CHAPTER III
A FALSE sALLoP OF MEMORIES

. a a churlish fate decreed it turn
"a ed out that BloUnt was not TO
"a have Gantry for q travelling
companion beyond Chicago
On the second day OF westward fartng
the railroad man, whose business fol-
lowed him wherever he went, had in
structions to meet Mr.. Hardwick Nc
vickar, his vice president, in the Hi
nois metropolis, and on the morning
of the following day Blount continued
his journey alone.
Twenty-four hours later the expatri-
ated westerner had crossed his Rubi-
con. otherwise the clay colored stream
of the Missouri river, at Omaha. and
had entered upon scenes which ought
to have been familiar-should have
been and were not, so many and great
were the changes wrought during his
fourteen years of absence. In the
smoking car he fell into talk with a
prosperous looking man whose thin,
hawlzlike face was so out Of keeping
with the air of prosperity-a lone pas
senger who had boarded the train at
Omaha
At first their conversation was bald
" desuItory. The hawk faced one, it
seemed, was a mine owner whose
property, vaguely located somewhere
in the mountains" was involved in
litigation. 1t was the reference TO the
litigation which first drew Blount be-
yond the commonplace, the awakened
interest being wholly professional
oddly enough. since he bad never

somewhat in mining law, and before
many miles had been clicked or IN
der the drumming trucks Of the Pull
man ne found himself giving opinions
and laying down plans of procedure
for the man who. investing in mines,
had apparently purchased more trou-
BILE than profits.
Into the cleft thus opened by the ak
of business the hawk faced man in
serted a wedge of cautious inquiry.
In addition 70 his mining properties,
he had been making investments in
timberlands- investments. he fear
ed, since the government had late
ly taken such n decided stand against
the cutting of timber in the new for

AGAIN BIount was Sooo natUTedlY
helpful. One OF his classmates in the
law school had been preparing himself
to enter the legal branch OF the forest
service, and BioUnt had acquired at
second hand a working knowledge OF
the forestry situation in the west and
of the legal status OF the western tim
Der pirates. Moreover, he had very
clear and decided opinions upon the
question of the conservation OF the ma
tons timber resources, aud he was
frank enough 10 express them emphat-

the disappointing changes which were
doubtless awaiting him at the real
journeys end
Now, it CHANGED that the livery sta
bic was an adjunct to the single no
tel in the small sawmill town, and as
Blount swung up into the saddle he
was a little surprised to see his COM
panion Of the Pullman smoking COM
partment standing on the porch of the
hotel in earnest talk with three 9th
ers who from their appearance might
have figured either as timber jacks"
or cowboys
Blount was on the point Of speaking
when he rode past the porch on his
way TO the northward trail pointed
out by the liveryman. but a curious
feeling restrained him.
He was almost sure that the pros
porous looking gentleman with the
bird Of prey eyes was making him the
subject Of his earnest talk with the
three men OF doubtful occupation.
Quite naturally this impression deep
ened into a conviction when he looked
back from the road crossing Of the
railroad track and saw that all four
Of the men on the porch were watch
ing him.
After leaving the railroad Blount
found himself crossing the broad mesa,
with the eastern mountains near at
/ hand, and the Lost river range struck
out sharply IN its sky line against the
sunset horizon.
On this mesa the trail disappeared
] oVtfrolV hIIr ho Of
the general direction Blount let it go
and gave the tireIess little broncho
loose rein. Debbleby's ranch lay
among the foothills Of the distant
western range, and he was quite sure
that he could ride straight to it In the
dark II need be.
It was some little time after he had
left the shoulderings OF the eastern
range behind that a curious thing hap
/ pened-
/ Far away to the right he heard the
sound Of galoping hoofs. Though the
| moon was nearly at its fun and the
| treeless landscape was bare of any
/ kind Of cover, he could not see the
/ horseman who was evidently passing
him and going In the same direction.
/ At first he thought 1t was some one
who was making a detour to avoid
/ him. Then he smiled at the absurdlty
I OF the thought and concluded that he
himself was of the trail.
This conclusion was confirmed a lit
+ tie later when two other travellers, an
/ nouncing themselves to the ear as the
/ first one had done and also, Ike the
first, invisible to the sharpest eye
sweep Of the brown plain. passed him
at speed.
After that he had the solitudes and
immensities to himself, and 1t was not
until the broad mesa had been crossed
and the broncho was picking its way
among the hogback hills of the west
ern range that the boyish thing he had
been led to do took shape as a ven
ture which might have discomforttng
consequences, for after the broncho
had wandered through many canyons
and had climbed a good half score of
the hogback hills the young man from
! the east reluctantly admitted that the
boyhood memories We're altogether at
fault in the deceptive moonlight. He
was very thoroughly and painstaking

ALASKA HIGH-ORADE
DEPOSITS OF COAL

Though something has been known of
Alaska coal for more than sixty years.
tho amount Of actual mining, accord
ing To the United states geological sur
yey, has been insignificant. The total
production since the territory WAS ac-
uurcd from Russia is less than $4,000
tons This is all the more significant
because during this time more than J.
500 900 tons Of coal have been shipped
into Alaska. and all but twenty per cent
Of II was from foreign fields.
The BcrinG river and AT0tanuska coal
