CHAPTER xi-contlnued.

Samson did not appear at the Les
colt house for Two weeks after that.
He had begun to think that, If his
going there gave embarrassment to
the girl who had been kind to him,
1t were better to remain away.
Il don't belong here" he told him
self, bitterly. Il reckon everybody
that knows me in New York, except
hind my back"
He worked fiercely, and threw into
his work such fire and energy that it
came out again converted into bold
ness of stroke and an almost savage
vigor of drawing. The instructor
nodded his head over the easel, and
passed on to the next student without
having left the defacing mark of his
relentless crayon To the next pupil,
he said:
Watch the way that man South
draws. He's not clever He's elemen-
tally sincere, and, if he goes on, the
first thing you know he will be por-
trait painter He won't merely draw
eyes and lips and noses, but character
and virtues and vices showing out
through them"
And Samson met every gaze with
smoldering savagery, searching for
some one who might be laughing at
him openly, or even covertly, instead
of behind his back The long-suffer-
ing fighting lust in him craved oppor-
tunity to break out and relieve the
pressure on his soul. But no one
laughed.

Then it was that Farbish dropped

yearning to be away where there were
open skies, packed George Lescott's
borrowed paraphernalia, and prepared
to leave that same night.
While he was packing, the telephone
rang, and Samson heard Adrienne's
voice at the other end of the wire.
Where have you been hiding?" she
demanded. I'll have to send a truan

Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
fly. The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so We can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots OF water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning
for few days and your kidneys will
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid OF grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lthia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source OF irritation. thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in

should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,

E. P. Fuller, the Los Angeles
rancher who was kidnapped by
Mexican bandits two weeks ago,
was released Sunday when the
$4,000 ransom was paid to them
in the mountain fastness of that
turbulant country. If there is
no other relief, the United States
had better abandon the Monroe
doctrine long enough at least to
allow the other countries, who
believe in protecting their citi-
zens, a chance to 60 in there and
clean up the banditti, and estab-

Dog Show.

While the many big features
that are to be offered at the
State Fair this year are compet-
ing with each other for recogni-
ton, and speculat;ng as to which
is to be the star attraction,
probably no one department gives
more promise as to popularity
than the annual dog show. Ev-
erybody loves the dog, and par
ticularly if it be a thoroughbred.
While it is a little early to an
nounce many of the entries at
the present time, it can be stated
however, that the bench show
will eclipse any event of the kind
ever held in Arizona,
1t is expected a large number
| of dogs will be entered from all
over the state, and superinten-
dent A. H. F'itz is arranging to
bench over two hundred and
fifty animals.
In accordance with the usual
rule of the American Kennel Club
we shall limit the show to four
days instead of six as heretofore,
and we may possibly decide later
to make it three day event.
This we believe, will meet with
the approval of many owners
who object to the longer period.

A Few Remarks.

During our brief residence here
there have been two or three dir
ty, nasty scandals in the city, but
no mention has been made of
them in the columns of this
paper, simply for the reason that
the editor teels that recital of
the fifty stuff is entirely out of
place in a paper that goes into
the homes of our people, and is
read by the children as we'll as
their parents. The scandal
monger probably would enjoy
reading the salacious details, but
this paper under the present
management is not published for
that class of people. And while
we are on the subject, we want
to make a statement for the
benefit of few individuals who
are whispering about that the
editor has been bribed to remain
silent. The first dirty skunk
that ever comes in this Office and
makes a tender of money to buy
the silence of the editor will
discover to his sorrow that he
made a mistake, because the fact
that he offers the money is evi-
dence sufficient of his guilt and
fears exposure. This paper is
controlled by the editor only, and
no outside influence will ever
dictate to him what to publish or
what to suppress. This perogo-
tive is exclusively his, and when
he cannot make the paper sue
cessful on this plan he will get
out of the business.
