night. oh. l thought she was going to
stay!" She tore herself away from
him to go to Neil, who had fallen upon
his face exhausted. q dozen yards
away.
In the wet sand, where the incom.
ing waves Tapped his hands and feet,
Nathaniel sank down. his eyes staring
out into the shimmering distance
where Marion had gone, His brain
was In a daze, and he wondered II he
had been stricken by some strange
madness-if this all was but some
passing phantasm that would soon
leave him again to his misery and his
despair. But the dash OF the cold wa.
ter against him cleared away his
doubt. Marion had come to him. She
had saved him from death. And now
she a gone.
And she vas not the kings wife!
He staggered to his feet again and
plunged into the lake until the water
reached to his waist, calling her name
~entreating her in weak, half choked
cries to come back to him. The wa

body, restoring his reason and
strength. and he buried his face In 1t
and drank like one who had been near
to dying Of thirst. Then he returned
to Neil. Winnsome was holding his
head In her arms.
He dropped upon his knees beside
them and saw hat life was returning
full and strong in Neil's face.

Nathaniel reached out hesltatingly,
but not to take the weapon. Gently,
as though his touch was about to fall
upon some fragile flower, he drew the
girl to him. took her beautiful face
between his two strong hands and
gazed steadily and silently for a mo-
ment into her eyes,

The girl understood him.

Munyon's Paw-Paw- Pills arc, a tonic
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead of impoverish it;
they enable the stomach to get all the
nosrishment from food that is put into
it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope, they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels to
act without physic. Price Is cents.

Constipation

Paw Pills are unlike

scour; they do not
gripe; they do not
weaken; but they do
start all the secre-
tions of the liver and
stomach in a way that

Awful Argument

Eph Higgins, our accommodating P.

with Brent Hoover of this place down
TO the P. 0. t'other ev'g, over a old
subjeckt, and it come out as usual,
with no one getting the best of it ex-
cept by physical means.
Eph maintained that cut worms
changed into June bugs when they had
ct up all the garden truck and such
like that they wanted to, but Brent, who
says he has lost a blamed sight more
garden trnck than Eph ever lost, argued
that cut worms went away on mass and
that June bugs just nacherally Matched
out. Eph argued dispashionately, as
you might say, until he laid his hand
down in mess of postage stamps and
gummed himself all up, to say nothing
OF losing six cents worth of stamps,
and at that he become turrible down.
right in his statements, and hollered out
all his arguments so that Miss Saman-
tina Deevers was woke out of her first
good sleep for six days, and when
Brent hollered back, .Eph grabbed up
the puncher he uses to punch the dates
on letters with and hit Brent with it
and then grabbed Brent and run him
out OF the P. o. Brent says he never
cared nothing about what becomes OF
cut worms and June bugs and visy
versy, but that he'll be dog-goned if
he'll ever buy any more stamps often
Eph Higgins. Seems to US that Eph
was ittel bit hurried about this, be-
cause it amt hardly likely that any
thing like June bug is going to come
from anything so different as a cut
