Ranchman Wants City Park.

Dodge City, KAMA. W.. Cain, EN-
ployed on the Rockefeller ranch near
Belvidere. Kiowa county, came here
recently intending to file on the city
park under the recent supreme court
decision which makes islands in the
Arkansas river bed school land Cain
was Immediately advised that citizens
took matters in hand few weeks ago
and elected one such claimant. Mob
violence nearly developed at that time,
and should Cain persist it is feared
local wrath will assert itself. Cain was
refused filing papers at the county
clerks office and has not decided on
ais future course. He may bring suit
to compel the issuance of the papers.

heaven except that of fools. His treat
ment of you has placed me under
everlasting obligations; he shall share
what we have. My one bitter, un-
availing regret is that Solomon Ma
haffy will not be here to partake OF
our altered fortunes" And the judge
sighed deeply.
Uncle Bob told me Mr.. Mahaffy
got hurt in duel, grandfather" said
Hannibal
HE was as inexperienced as a
child in the use OF firearms, and he
had to deal with scoundrels who had
neither mercy nor generous feeling
but his courage was magnificent"
Presently Hannibal was deep in his
account of those adventures he had
shared with Miss Betty.
And Miss Malroy-where is she
now?" asked the judge, in the first
pause of the boys narrative.
"She's at Mr.. Bowen's house. Mr..
Darlington and Mr.. Cavendish are
here too. Mrs. Cavendish stayed
down yonder at the Bates plantation.
Grandfather, it were Captain Murrell
who had me stole-do you reckon he
was going to take me back to Mr..
Bladen?"
81 will see Miss Malroy in the
morning. We must combine-our in
terests are identical. There should
be hemp in this for more than one
scoundrel! l can see now how GRIM
inal my disinclination to push myself
to the front has been!" said the Judge,
with conviction. Never again will |
shrink from what l know to be a pIb-
lie duty"
A little later they went downstairs,
where the Judge had Yancy make up
a bed for himself and Hannibal on
the floor He would watch alone be-
side Mahaffy, he was certain this
would have been the dead mans wish;
then he said good night and mounted
heavily to the floor above to resume
his vigil and his musings.

NEVER TIRES
of the Food That Restored Her TO
Health.

"Something was making me i'll and
didn't know the cause" writes
Colo. young lady: For two years
was thin and sickly, suffering from in
digestion and inflammatory rheuma-
tism.
81 had tried different kinds of diet,
and many of the remedies recommend
ed, but got no better.
Finally, Mother suggested tnat
try Grape Nuts, land l began at once
eating it with little cream or milk.
A change for the better began at once.
To-day / am we'll and am gaining
weight and strength all the time. I've
gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks
and do not suffer any more from In
digestion, and the rheumatism is all
gone.
81 know it is to Grape-Nuts alone
that I owe my restored health. l still
eat the food twice a day and never
tire of it." Name given by Postum
Co. Battle Creek, Mich.
The favour of Grape-Nuts is peculiar
to itself. 1t is neutral, not too sweet
and has an agreesb Bile. healthful quality
that never grows tiresome.
One of the sources of rheumatism Is
from overlooking the system with
acid material, the result of imperfect
digestion and assimilation.
AS soon as improper food is aoan-
doned and Grape-Nuts is taken regu'
larly. digestion is made strong, the
organs do their work of building up
good red blood cells and OF carrying
away the excess of disease-makins
material from the system.

whether or not he is going to be able
to hold him is another matter!"
Yancy and Hannibal had dressed By
this time, and the judge led the way
from the house. The Scratch Hitler
looked about him. Across the street
a group of men, the greater number OF
whom were armed, stood in front OF
Pegloe's tavern. Glancing in the d.
rection OF the courthouse, he OBJ
served that the square before it held
other groups. But what impressed
him more was the ominous silence
that was everywhere. At his elbow,
the Judge was breathing deep.
I'VE are face to face with a very
deplorable condition, Mr.. Yancy.
Court was to sit here today, but Judge
Morrow and the public prosecutor
have left town, and as you see, MUIR

his safety. Sir, the man refused to
listen to me! He showed himself ut
terly devoid of any feeling OF public

and futility was leaving the judge.
The situation made its demands on
that basic faith in his own powers
which remained imbedded in his char
acter.
They had entered the courthouse
square. On the steps Of the building
Belts was arguing loudly with Hues,
who stood in the doorway, rifle IN
hand.

ty property" the sheriff was saying.
"And that you have taken unlawful
possession of 1t for an unlawful pur-
pose? am going to open them doors

smiled widely and sweetly. The sher-
iff gave him hostile glare. DO you

the Judge went on.
