those good times" they will sud-
denly realize that while those days

OLD days were very monotonous and
often unsatisfying
How foolish of any woman +o
brood over ''the good old times To-
day is yours. Yesterday is as far re-
moved from today as the Yesterdays
OF hundred years ago, and tomor-
foW-tomorrow is yelled in mystery.
Not one OF us knows what tomorrow
holds for US. Therefore the wise
woman will smile at today, welcome

accept it gratefully and make the
most of it,
Inc woman who is continually re-

return. The present, then, is the
time to talk about, and become en-
thusiastic over, for the present holds
out to us (if you will only draw on
your common sense) hope, happiness
and opportunities.

to her each passing day, takes a very
narrow view of life. No matter what
favors would be granted her, she
would still be dissatisfied.

| Fussing Over Triaes

There is no Surer way of wasting
your time, exasperating your neigh
Dor and depicting your energy than
by fussing over trifies, or over any
thing else, for that matter. 1t won't
help even a big trouble to fuss over
it. But the little things are happen
ing right along, and if you fuss over
them you are fussing practically all
the sime
There is an old adage that warns
us that nothing ever goes quite
right" Just understand and realize
that statement, which is pretty near
the exact truth, and don't be in con-
stant worry because everything does
not go right with you and your busi-
ness.
If you are in a responsible posi-
ton, with others under you, you
won't get the best service by being
fusser. You will get grudging and
resentful service. No one likes to
be worried and bullied and found
fault with, and that is what the fuss
er does.
If you fuss about the way you are
treated in the office, if you fuss about
your future or over your mlStakeS,1 III
you fuss because the other girls don't
take their work as seriously as yor
do, and seem to you to shirk, you
won't improve matters and you viii
wear yourself out and get yourself
thoroughly disliked.
Fussing is often a matter of ner
yes, of being over-tried. But it car
! be controlled. More often it is {
mere habit into which you have le

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages,

known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Outlaws Last Stand

In the morning the sheriff went
to the island. He reported the
place deserted. He made many
other trips. Sometimes he took a
deputy with him; more often he
rode unaccompanied. Richard Cor
don lay helpless in a burning fe-
yer, with Paul Lanford in con-
slant and untiring attendance up
on him George Williston was a
sadly shattered man.
The authorities could gather no
outside information. The outlying
claims and ranches refuted indig-
nantly any hint of their having
given aid or shelter to the fugitive
or of having any cognizance what
soever regarding his possible
whereabouts. So the pursuit, at
first hot and excited, gradually
wearied of following false leads
contended itself with desultory
journeys when prodded thereto by
the compelling power of public
opinion-finally ceased altogether
even as a pretense.
August had come again, and
Judge Dale was in Kemah to hear
a court case.
Langford had ridden in from
the ranch on purpose to see Judge
Dale.

has been ON that island of his all

Sc 1t was agreed, and the next
morning, bright and early, the lit
tie posse; reinforced by Baker,
who had earnestly solicited the
privilege of going along, started
out ON its journey.
Arriving at the entrance of the
cross ravine which Williston had
once sought for, the four men
rode their horses safely through
its length. The waters of the
June rise had receded, and the
outlaws presumably deserted

Langford first shook himself
free of the haunting fear Of a de-
serted hearthstone.

voice. Now listen, boys. Johnson

The two men rode boldly up to-

windows.
There was a sound from the

before he gets to the barn." said
Paul, quickly.
The shot went wild. Black
wrenched the door open, sprang
upon the already bridled horse,
and made a bold dash for the
farther woods.
How Langford longed for his
good rifle and its carrying power.
But he knew how to use pistol,
too. Both men sent menacing
shots after the fugitive.
Black returned the fire venge-
fully. The fusillade was furious,
but the trees and branches proved
Blacks friends. 1t was impossible
to Judge ones aim Alright. His
horse staggered. Another bullet
sang and purred through the fol-
iage, and the horse fell.

For answer, Jim sent another
bullet Whistling forward. Black,
rising from his fallen horse, fell
back.

antly. He spurred forward.

Stay back. you fool Boss."
Langford laughed little.
You're the fool boy, jim" he
said. "I'll go without a gun II
you won't give me yours"
They rode cautiously up to the
PROSTATE figure. 1t was lying face
downward, one arm outstretched
on the body of the dead horse the
other crumpled under the mans
breast. Blood oozed from under
his shoulder. EH

low voice. III .8gf
! Jim slowly and thoughtfully
slipped his revolver into its hol-
ster and dismounted. Langford,
too, sprang lightly from his sad
die.
Black had been waiting for this.
His trained ear had no sooner
caught the soft rubbing sound of
the pistol slipping into its leather
case than he leaped to his feet
and stretched out his crumpled
arm with its deadly weapon point
ing straight at the heart of Lang
ford of the Three Bars.
Now, damn you, we're quitsl"
he cried hoarsely.
| There was not time for Jim to
draw, but, agile as cat, he threw
himself against Blacks arm and

ment the advantage was his, and
he wrested the weapon from
Blacks hand. it fell to the ground.
The two men grappled.~The strug-
gle was short and fierce. Each
strove with all the strength OF
his concentrated hate to keep the
others hand from his belt.
When the feet of the wrestiers
left the fallen weapon free, Lang
ford, who had been waiting for
this opportunity. sprang forward
and seized 1t with thrill of sat
isfaction. Command of the stu
alton was once more his. But the
revolver was empty, and he turn
ed to throw himself into the
struggle empty-handed. Jim
would thus be given a chance to
draw.
At that moment Black twisted
his arm free, and his hand drop
