CHAPTER XVI,

CoIored Troops In Action.
= TOW neat and pure is the task
81 d tale to tell of good rousing
fight" between boys or men
who fight in the good old English
way" according to a model set for
fights in books long before Tom Brown
went to Rugby.
There are seconds and rounds and
rules of fair play, and always there is
great good feeling in the end-though
sometimes, to vary the model, the
butcher defeats the hero-and the
chronicler who stencils this fine old
pattern on his page is certain of ap-
plause as the stirrer of red blood"
There is no surer recipe.
But when Herman and Verman set
tot the record must be no more than
a few fragments left by the expurga-
tor. 1t has been perhaps sufficiently
suggested that the alteration in Mr..
Schofeld'S stable opened with MAYHEM
in respect to the aggressor's nose. EX-
pressing vOcally his Indignation and
the extremity of his panied surprise,
Mr.. Collins stepped backward, holding
his left hand over his nose and strik-
ing at Herman with his right. Then
Verman hit him with the rake.
Verman struck from behind. He struck
as hard as he could. And he struck
with the tines down. For, in his sim
pie, direct African way he wished to
kill his enemy, and he wished tO kill
him as soon as possible. That was his
single, earnest purpose.
On this account, Rupe Collins was
peculiarly unfortunate. He was plucky
and he enjoyed conflict, but neither his
ambitions nor his anticipations had
ever included murder He had not
learned that an habitually aggressive
person runs the danger of colliding
with beings in one of those lower
stages of evolution wherein theories
about :'hitting. below the belt" have

Twenty Years from Today a Ba1dheaded
Man Will Re An Unusual Sight.

One Of the most prominent druggists
of America made statement a few
weeks ago which has caused a great
deal of discussion among scientists in
the medical press.
He said: eff the new hair grower,
Mildredina Hair Remedy, increases
it's sales as it has during the past year,
it will be used by nearly every man,
woman and child in America within
eight years.
"When Mildredina Hair Remedy is
used almost universally, dandruff will
disappear and with its departure bald
ness, itching scalp, splitting hair and
all scalp diseases will follow and
twenty years from now bald head will
b ca rarity"
There is only one way to cure dand-
ruff, and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one hair preparation that
will kill the germs and that is Mildred
ina Hair Remedy. This unusual ha;r
restorer with it's record of thousands of
cures will grow hair on any head where
there is any life left; it will cure dand-
ruff, stop falling hair and itching of
the scalp iN three weeks or money back.
1t is the most pleasant and invigorat-
ing tonic, is not sticky, or greasy and
is used extensively by ladies of refine
ment who desire to have and to keep
their hairsoft, lustrous and luxuriant.

Penrod laughed pityingly. "Pshaw,

Sam, maintaining his position near the

caught him round the neck.
"Watch me, RUPEE" Penrod called,
and performed upon Sam the knuckle
operation which he had himself Just
undergone, Sam submitting mechan-
ically, his eyes fixed with increasing
uneasiness upon Rupe Collins. Sam
had premonition that something even
more painful than Penrods knuckle
