CHAPTER XI.

9t was on the second evening after
the trial that Petrie, Pettus, Inness
and two others had dropped in at
the store and had evidently been
warmly discussing something Of more
than ordinary interest, for to one
entering from the outside it was very
apparent that the atmosphere in the
room was being influenced by some
calcorific agent other than that which
came from the store, and as there
was clearly nothing upon which to
base a reasonable theory as to the
cause of so unusual temperature
except the appearance and attitudes
of the aforementioned loungers, the
reader must rest content with the
thought that they were the RESPONSE
BILE agents in the matter and with
that patiently await further develop
ments.
The subject which had so engros-
sed their attention must perhaps ever
remain unknown to the general pub
lie. a misfortune indeed which, like
SO many others of similar import
Will, of necessity have to be borne
with such resignation as not alone
the present but future generations
may be able to command, for, be it
remembered, that if every CONVEX
sation of a private character were
to- be published abroad, the world
would be turned upside down, the
foundations of society would totter
to their fall and chaos would reign
supreme
Frank Inness had opened his
mouth to make answer to some re-
mark Of Pettus which had nettled
him into a condition of mind which
would have brought forth a singing
retort. had it ever been permitted to
escape him for the poor prosecuted
fellow had been dashed into a fury
by the exasperating onslaughts of his
mischievous tormentors. AS it hap
pened however, just as he was about
to let fly volley of hot words at
Pettus, the door swung open and a
person unknown to them entered the
store.
"uood evening gentlemen" re-
marked the newcomer who ap-
preached the group, about the fire,
and then began to warm his hands
and feet at the stove, place being
made for him by Pettus and Inness
who noisily pushed back their
chairs.
The stranger was man of athle-
tic build rather above the average
In height, in all respects proportion
ed. giving him the appearance of one
who might possess great powers of
endurance; his clean-carved features
were good to look upon, his eyes
were OF deep luminous blue, and
beamed upon you with benignancy
wholly charming. He was inexpen-
siyeiy clad in garments that fitted
him fairly well, though they had the
appearance Of having been worn for
some time. for they were almost
thread-bare in places, especially the
underside of the arms, the seat of the
trousers and knees.
However. this meagreness of ap-
parel did not appear to cause him the
least uneasiness for he was evidently
a man accustomed to the necessitat-
ed depriyations of the pathfinders Of
the great Northwest who cared more
for what things they did and how
they did things than for their mere
personal appearance.
Good evening to you sir" said
Petrie. pleased with the newcomers

EASY TO DARKEN
GRAY HAIR
Without Greasy Drugs-Darkens So
Evenly And Naturally No
One Can Tell.

When the hair turns gray, streaked
with gray, white or faded, get from
any reliable pharmacy Z OF. bottle
of "Q-Ban." On retiring rub Q-Ban on
your hair and scalp, like a shampoo.
BY morning all the gray disappears,
the hair is beautifully darkened and
another application or two of Q-Ban
four hair becomes fluffy, glossy, lux
lriant and radiant with hair health.
Dandruff is gone and the hair has
stopped falling. Q-Ban promotes the
growth of thin or brittle hair. Your
hair is your charm. An application or
two of Q-oan will enhance its beauty
thousandfold. Q-Ban is not sticky
or messy-harmless but delightful to
use and sure to beautifully darken
gray hair. 1t does this so evenly and
naturally no one can tell. You can't
make a mistake in using Q-Ban, as II

Staying FATHER
ONCE SENT TO ASYLUM, NOW
FORCED TO FACE JURY FOR
HIS LIFE.

Chillicothe, Mo-, April 1.-The most
notable case to be tried at the April
term of the Livingston County circuit
court which convenes next week is
that of Lee e. Hoyt, accused of the
murder of his father, Edward Hoyt, a
wealthy cattleman. The murder was
committed at the Hoyt farm, twelve
miles from this city, on November u,
1911. The victim was beaten to death
with a mattock.
1t was believed at first that the
elder Hoyt had been slain by robbers
After months of investigation detec'
tiyes discovered faint finger prints in
blood on an iron tank near where the
! body was found Those finger prints
| were identified as those of Lee Hoyt
the twenty-year-old son of the victim
Young Hoyt was taken into custody
in February of last year and is alleged
to have confessed to the crime, declar
ing that he had killed his father be
cause the latter had been too sever'
with him.
The case was tried last July, bu
the jury disagreed and was discharged
Shortly afterward the accused you'll
was examined by alienists and pro
nounced of unsound mind, He wa
taken to the state hospital for tn
insane at st. Joseph. Recently he wa
discharged from the institution a

Vinol for Rundown People.
If any one person should know the
value of medicines it is the druggist
who dispenses them and from our ex-
perience we want to say if people in
this vicinity only knew the value OF
vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic without oiD at this season of
the year, We would not be able to
supply the demand.
This is because Vinol is combina-
ton of two of the most world famed
tonics, namely, the medicinal curative
elements of Gods livers without the
oil, and iron for the blood.
vinol tones up the digestive organs,
purifies and enriches the blood. pro-
notes healthful sleep and a normal

FEDERAL LEAGUE WILL
SUE TO HOLD PLAYERS

will be begun soon, according TO an an.
nouncement made by Edward E Gates
of Indianapolis, chief counsel for the
league, who held a conference with
James Gilmore, president of the new
baseball organization.
Suits TO hold the players will be
brought by the Chicago and Baltimore
clubs, which hold the contracts of Xii
lifer and kirkpatrick, respectively
The clubs will be supported by me le
gal and financial aid of the league.
These facts are undisputed." said
Mr.. Gates. "killifer and kirkpatrick
signed with the Federals when they
had not signed or agreed to sign with
our rivals.
I'VE purpose to protect those con
tracts"
Manager Tinker of the Chicago
Federals, asserts the major leagues
will not dare attempt to hold players
previously signed by the new league
He said they would turn back such
players as killifer, Agnew, Williams
and Baumgardner. preferring this to
a legal contest which might result in
an adverse decision.
