have much meaning; hence the
government announcement that in
twenty-four years 188,o37 persons
have been killed aud 1,3o5.618

us only vague impression of care

A MESSAGE
To Feeble Old People.

As one grows old the waste Of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectually than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
vinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil, is the ideal
strengthened and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very ele-
ments needed to rebuild wasting It's
sues and replace weakness with
strength. Vinol also fortifies the sys-
tenn against colds and thus prevents
pneumonia.
A grandneice of Alexander Hamil-
ton. over eighty years of age, once
remarked: "Vinol is godsend to old
people. Thanks to Vinol, l have q
hearty appetite, sleep soundly, feel
active and we'll. 1t is the finest tonic
and strength-creator have ever
used"
If vinol fails to build up the
feeble old people, and create
strength, we will return your money.

TheAvenger

faultlessly dressed, and everything
about him betokened responsibility and
prosperity. But in his eye was a look

stranger started for the saloon.
Jim Hawkins was n of those des-
peradoes who infested the wild west
in the days of it's wilderness, especial
ly mining towns. Young Trevor, a
mining engineer, had gone to the place
to examine a mine, had been invited
by Hawkins to drink, had declined, and,
having persisted in declining. Haw-

men of whom he had made his inqui-

connection with this murder. 1t did
not occur to them that the mild man
nered man had come out to avenge
Trevor's death. Indeed, they didn't
know what he had come for. but curl
osity prompted them to follow him to
the Antelope saloon.
Approaching a table where Hawkins
had been pointed out to him, he bent
down and said in that same soft voice:
excuse me. sir, for interrupting your
game. My name is Trevor. l have
come to invite you to have something
with me at the bar"
Hawkins looked up, and it seemed
TO him that the young man whose life
he had snuffed out stood before him,
only aged. 1t was as if thirty years
had gone by and young Trevor had
come back to do by him as he had
done by Trevor.
The man bending over him showed
no sign of possessing Il weapon, but
there was a self satisfied look so fal
as danger was concerned that was
more forceful than If he had looked
down the barrel Of n pistol. Hawkins

that the hour of vengeance had come.
Under the influence of that melan-
choly eye he arose from the table,
leaving there a pile of coins he had
won, and walked side by side with
the stranger to the bar.
~"Barkeeper," said the newcomer,
"set a bottle Of whisky before the gen

The barkeeper filled the order while
Hawkins said:

The stranger facing Hawkins leaned
his right elbow on the bar. supporting
his cheek with his right hand facing
the man he had invited to drink. This
brought the formers hand in close
proximity to the collar of his coat at
the back Of his neck.
Will you drink. sir?"
Hawkins looked as if he didn't know
what to do. He raised his hand to
take hold of the bottle standing on the
bar, and the hand trembled. Every
one of those looking on saw it and
knew that the stranger had deprived
Hawkins of his nerve. They knew it
from the fact that he was obeying the
stranger as well as by the trembling
Of his hand. Hawkins poured out some
liquor, spilling much of it. Then he
slowly placed it to his lips and took it
down at a gulp.
"Have another" said the stranger.
But the liquor had brought back
Hawkins courage.

said:

That official. who had not before

And the next morning Hawkins was
