The train screeched away into the

around for some sort Of conveyance,
There was none to be seen. The sta

door, saw the lone passenger, came out,
locked the door and set off across the
track to another road that apparently
led to his home.

| At last the path came to an end and
emerged upon lonely wood road.
There was no sign of habitation; there
was no sound of life.
Jack sat down on his suit case and
rested
Lost, by Jover' he admitted at last
Lost on Christmas eve! What will
the kiddes do without their Santa

He laughed with mingled amusement
and chagrin. How many miles he
might be from Farfields he could not
guess. AS he had neglected to ques.
ton the station master. there was only
one thing to do. and that was to follow
this wood road until it brought him ia
some sort of human habitation where
he might find conveyance TO take him
to the Briers. To add to his discomfort
it began to snow.

village would furnish a duplicate.

steps. IF she has an umbrella stand

many a backward glance at the bun

His Santa Claus costume was tucked
back in the bag, and he was trudg-
ing along the road, doggedly deter
mined to reach some destination, when
| there came the warning sound of a mo-
tor horn and he was overtaken by his

"The station master said you had
come down this way, SIR" said the
chauffeur as Jack entered the car, "and
I've been up and down the roads look

Jack explained how he had lost him
self, and then. directing the man to re-
turn home by way of the village so he
could replace the presents he had hung
on the little tree at the bungalow, he
leaned back and gave himself over to
dreaming of the little mother.
An hour later the lost Santa Claus
was joyfully welcomed at the Briers,
and the festive evening passed delight
fully. When the happy children had
departed to bed with their toys Jack
found occasion to draw his sister-in-
law aside and ask:

Mrs. Billy Dimond smiled quizzically

TRY TT! SUBSTITUTE FOR
NASTY CALOMEL.
Starts Your Liver without Max.

not SaliVate.

Every druggist in town-your
druggist and everybody's druggist
has noticed a great falling-off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is
taking its place.
"Calomel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone
is perfectly safe and gives better re-
Suits" said a prominent local drug
gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by every druggist
who sells it. A large bottle costs so
cents, and if it fails to give easy re-
lief in every case of liver sluggish
ness and constipation, you have only
to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant
tasting, purely vegetable remedy,
harmless to both children and adults.
Take q spoonful at night and wake
up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick
headache, acid stomach or constipat-
ed bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause
inconvenience all the next day like
violent calomel. Take dose of cal
omel today and tomorrow you will
feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't
lose a days work! Take Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and feel fine, full
of vigor and ambition.

Walk mile before breakfast, eat

Baby's Mother Shields Father.

Denver.-A man, who said he was
John Moreau of Golden, visited Mrs.
R. Gordon at the county hospital, and
later told the police he was the uncle
of the woman, who is in critical con
dition after giving birth to her child
alone at the Belvedere hotel. She
later deserted the infant, walked to
the rooms of former employer, then
engaged room at S21 Broadway, and
afterward was rushed to the hospital
in an ambulance. The child died. The
woman, whose maiden name is said
to be Alice Souroy, stoically refuses
to give the police any information
concerning the father of her dead
child. The ordeal she experienced
alone in the room at the Belvedere
hotel has caused the physicians to
fear for her life.

but the claim is made that the bank is
solvent The bank had money on de-
post in the Mercantile National Bank
of Pueblo which closed Monday. The
closing of that bank by the examiner
is said to have caused the suspension
of the Silverton bank. The feeling
prevails that the liquidation of the
national, bank here all rests with the
action of the Pueblo institution. No
doubt is felt that the depositors will
get full returns on their money. The
capitalization is $4,000. w. A. Smith

Lawyer, Who Was Pal of Bandit and

Only One Cent of Loot Left.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Pueblo, Colo.-John c. Haley, claim
ing to be "A partner of Henry Starr,
the bank robber in Jail at Tulsa for
the bold daylight robbery of $4,000
gave himself up to the police here.
He declares that he is wanted at
Tulsa for a bank robbery but did not
participate in the affair of the Goth ult.
Haley says his real name is John
Attleberg and that his father is man
ager for the Standard Oil Company at
Tulsa. Another alias he has gone un-
der is John Parlemont. He convinced
the police of the authenticity of his
story. He formerly was an oil land
attorney in Oklahoma and Texas, he
said.
Il am tired of lodging officers" he
told Night Captain Charles Baty when
arrested in saloon from which he
had telephoned to police headquar-
ters. 81 want to go back and take
my medicine. I'm dead broke, down
and out"
Haley was well dressed but had only
one cent. He declared he had en-
gagged in a number of bank robberies
with Starr.
Attleberg, or Haley, says that he
served two years in the Texas state
penitentiary for embezZlement and
during that time, in 1909 was shot
three times in an attempted escape.
His two convict companions in the
break were killed.
After his sentence expired, he says,
he went to Denver and for two years
was employed in the Denver & Rio
Grande general office in the Equitable
building, during which time he
handled much money.
He shows many evidences of cul-
ture and says that he is graduate
of the University of Texas. Though
his law practice was well established,
he says, he got started on the down
ward path through indulgence in
liquor.
