To all-good-by. My task is done.
I've swung the circle of the sun.
I've given all that Life bestows,
I've dealt Fate's cards to friends, TO foes
I've touched you each with JOY and care,
Drawn wrinkles here, smoothed wrinkles
there.
And if I've frosted temples gray,
I've made warm lips to kiss away
The chill. Tho Death, tho strife
I've visited-I've granted Life.
I'm Time. I've robbed your cradle dear,
Yeti ask you-your dying Year,
Have not filled it? Answer free,
five robbed you have not you cheated me?
Have not you sought to kill me-Iine2
Have not you wasted me-God's gift sub

Misspent me. Knocked me, wished me on
my way,
Loathed and reviled me--prayed another
day,
And when granted it, Knocked that one,
too,
Are we not quit at evens-I and youe
'Tis Kismet-Fate. Old World, good-by
My cycles done-I faint die.

THE ACCUSING WRATH
By ADRIAN c. HOWARD.
Copyright. 1914, by W. G. Chapman,


Crash-thud!
A crouching form had arisen
stealthily from among the thick un'
derbrush surrounding lone log cabin.
1t held a light. In its flare, leaning
over a table preparing his homely
meal, the occupant could be plainly
seen by the lurker, who, lifting MS
revolver, took steady aim.
The window pane crashed to myr'
lad splinters, the man at the table
went over and down like a shot.
81 never missed yeti" growled out
the lurker. A savage glee was domi'
nant in his strong swarthy face. he
turned from the spot, momentaTly
satisfied that he had wrought a meas
ure of iustice-rude, exacting frontier
law.
All day long Greg Davis had hung
around the spot. All day long he had
nursed his fancied wrongs. The flask
at his feet filled with fiery fluid had
fed the dread appetite for blood. Now
the deed was done.
Dan Moffat will never double-cross
another partner" he muttered, and he
tramped on. striving to place forever
behind him an episode that strangely,
he fancied, persisted in obscuring all
other thoughts.
With a growl he dashed the flask
against rock, its last drop exhaust
ed. His eyes grew bloodshot as he
hurried on. AS the effects Of tho
liquor began to dissipate, it seemed

as if he could not escape the tor
,menting fancies that came to him.
Nature appeared to have thousand
voices:
} "Coward-murderer-
The chorus rang forth remorseless-
Iy. His fugitive course broke into
run, until at length, miles and miles
away from the scene of his crime,
Greg Davis sank to the ground and
slept the sodden sleep Of exhaustion.
He awoke with a start and sprang
iup with a shudder. All nature was
Smiling, yet red mist seemed to OBJ
scure it all. A dull horror traversed
the mans soul as he recalled what he
had done.
Oh, to take back yesterday! The
cursed drink. filling his mind with
sophistry, driving him to slaughter
In cold blood his friend, his chum. his
partner.
Then he tried to justify himself.
Together they had found a famous
claim. It was remote, and quick as
they got back to civilization, it was
agreed that together they should go
and make good their preemption,
meantime keeping its discovery a
sacred secret. Moffat had returned
TO the cabin. Davis had gone away
for a week to settle an old lawsuit
Returning homewards, he had stopped
to register the claim In his name and
that OF his partner.
Filled on week ago" was the
astounding report, and Davis had
staggered away, concluding that his
partner had played him false. Who
else knew of the claim?
And now the climax-the drink
driven, hate-burdened sin! And the
reaction, remorse! Why had he done
1T? What evil thing in robes Of sor-
row had assailed his mentality and
fred him to act the assassin?
Two days later, making cleanup
of his claims, Greg Davis left for the
East. In one town he had picked up
q newspaper "Cowardly murder
only the headline he read, to drop the
sheet as II it were red hot pitch. or
course It alluded to his crime, al
though he was not suspected, for the
dancing letters, assassin unknown,
had met his shrinking vision.
For a month Greg Davis tried the
reckless career of moneyed miner
living the life," amid the white lights
Of this and that metropolis. Through
1t all, however, there seemed to be
an accusing wrath at his side. At
times he swept his weary hand across
his brow as though to brush away
q veritable brand Of Cain.
Then one day great inspiration
came to him He reckoned up his
resources They were substantial.
He set his lips firmly as he formed
a mighty resolution. He patched to-
gether stories his old partner had
told him Of an old father and mother
and q sister, somewhere In the East
Finally he recalled even the name OF
the town. It was Bridgeton. Thither
he went.
He made secret cautious inquiries.
He located the family. The old peo-

A MESSAGE TO THIN, -e
WEAK, SCRAWNY FOLKS
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 Lbs
Of Solid. Healthy, Permanent
Flesh.

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men
and women everywhere are heard to
say. Il can't understand why | do
not get fat. | eat plenty of good.
nourishing food The reason is just
this: You cannot get fat. no matter
how much YOU eat. unless your di-
gestive organs assimilate the fat
making elements Of your food in
stead of passing them out through
the body as waste.
What is needed is mean Of gent,
ly urging the assimiliative functions
of the stomach and intestines to alb
sorb the oils and fats and hand them
over to the blood, where they may
reach the starved, shrunken, rum
down tissues and build them up.
The thin persons body is like dry
sponge-eager and hungry for the
fatty materials of which it is being
deprived by the failure of the all
mentary canal to take them from the
food. The best way to overcome this
sinful waste OF flesh building ele-
ments and to stop the leakage of fats
is to use sargol, the recently discov-
cred regenerative force that is recon-
mended SO highly by physicians here
| and abroad. Take little Sargol
tablet with every meal and notice
how quickly your cheeks fill out and
rclls of firm. healthy flesh are de-
posted over your body, covering
each bony angle and projecting
! point. The Hausman Drug Co. and
other good druggists have Sargol
or can get II from their wholesaler
and will refund your money if you
are not satisfied with the gain in
weight it produces as stated on the
| guarantee in each package. 1t is
inexpensive, easy to take and highly
! efficient.
Caution: While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in overcom-
ing nervous dyspepsia and general
stomach troubles. it should not be
taken unless you are willing to gain
ten pounds or more. for it is won

Five times year the federal
comptroller OF currency issues a call
upon all the national banks of tho
country demanding statement Of
their exact condition at some given
instant. At the same time he noti-
fies the state bank commissioners
that he has done SO. The Colorado
commissioner always sends out a call
for statement from banks operating
under state charters requiring from
them information at the same date,
so that complete cables for all banks
in Colorado may be prepared.
The commissioners call is sent
four days after the date specified, &c
