stirrups she was thrown about so much that Duane rode closer and reached out to grasp her arm.
 Thus they rode through the valley to the trail that led up over the steep and broken Rim Rock As they be- gan to climb Duane looked back No pursuers were in sight
 Jennie, we're going to get away!" he cried, exultation for her in his voice.
 She was gazing horror-stricken at his breast, as in turning to look back he faced her.
 "Oh. Duane. your shirts all bloody :" she faltered. pointing with trembling fingers.
 With her words Duane became aware of two things-the hand he in stinctively placed to his breast still held his gun, and he had been shot through the breast far enough down to give him grave apprehension of his life.
 They did not stop climbing while Duane tore a scarf and made com presses. which he bound tightly over his wounds. The fresh horses made fast time up the rough trail. From open places Duane looked down. When they surnounted the steep ascent and stood on top of the Rim Rock. with no signs of pursuit down in the valley, and with the wild broken fastness before them, Duane turned to the girl and assured her that they now had every chance to escape.
 "But-your-wound, she faltered. with dark. troubled eyes. 'I see-the blood-drippins from your back"'
 Jennie, I'll take a lot of Killing" he said.
 Then he became silent and attended to the uneven trail. He was aware presently that he had not come into BIand's camp by this route. But that did not matter; any trail leading out beyond the Rim Rock was safe enough. What he wanted was to get far away | into some wild retreat where he could hide till he recovered from his wound. So he turned of on trail that ap- peared seldom travelled. Soon after this move be became con- scious of a further thickening of his senses. He felt able to hold on to his saddle for a while longer, but he was failing. Then he thought he ought to | advise Jennie. so in case she was left alone she would have some idea of ! what to do.
 Jennie, I'll give out soon." he said. "No-I don't mean-what you think. But I'll drop soon. My strengths go- | ing. If I die-you ride back to the main trail. Hide and rest by day. Ride at night. That trail goes to water. I believe you could get across the Nueces, where some rancher will take you in-"
 Duane could not get the meaning of her incoherent reply. He rode on, and soon he could not see the trail or hear his horse. He did not know whether i they travelled a mile or many times that far. But he was conscious when the horse stopped, and had a vague sense of falling and feeling Jennie's arms before all became dark to him. | When consciousness returned he found himself lying in a little hut of mesquite branches. It was well built and evidently some years old. Dunne

good, kind people with a possibility of finding her relatives. He thanked God for that; nevertheless, he felt a pang.
 About the middle of the afternoon Jennie awoke. They cooked a meal and afterward sat beside the little fire. Sometimes when her eyes were on him she did not seem to be think ing of her freedom, of her future.
 This time tomorrow you'll be In Shelbyville," he said.
 'Where will you be-" she asked, quickly.

MRS. DUCK GIVES TENDANCE.

There was great mirth and merri.
ment in Fairyland the other day." said
Daddy, when every little Fairy, and
the Queen of the Fairies, received an
Invitation to q Tendance to be CIV
en- the following afternoon in Lily
Pond by Mrs. Quack Duck.
1T was the funniest kind of Party
you can possibly imagine. In the first
place Mrs. Quack Duck had heard that
Dancing was very fashionable up in
Grown-U p-People's world, so she de-
cided she would lead the fashion in
the Lily Pond.
Now Lily Pond was the Pond al
ways chosen by the Ducks when they
wanted to have an especially fine
party. OF course they wouldn't have
enjoyed any Party not in some sort
Of Pond as you know how the Ducks
.ove the water.
well, when they were all invited
TO be at Lily Pond at three o'clock
promptly they knew it would be a
very grand affair.
MRS. Quack Duck was dressed in
her very best. She wore black and
white speckled dress, which looked
very fine. She greeted her guests
with many 'Quack-quacks', which in
the Duck world means 'How-do-you-do.
She made the Fairies her very best
courtesies which were SO funny the
Fairies could hardly keep from laugh
ang. But as they didn't want to hurt
Mrs. Quack Ducks feelings they
looked very solemn.
Mrs. Quack Duck then began to
give directions. She told all her
Guests they must take their Partners
for the Duck-Wobble which was a
Dance she had invented in their hon
or. And first she gave them an ex-
hibition of how it should be Danced.
All the Ducks certainly Wobbled
with great deal of ease, fer it seemed
90 be just the Dance made for them.
They thought they were very graceful,
but how you Children would have
Laughed if you could have seen this
party!
Mrs. Quack Duck gave prizes for
those who Danced the Duck-Wobble

After a series of careful experiments
and tests at the InvahdS Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. y. covering
many years-Dr Pierce, the medical di-
rector of that hospital, made announcement
that he could prove that medicine which
he called "ANURIC' was the best uric
acid solvent now to be had. AS rem
edy for those easily recognized symptoms
of inhammation-as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or if uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciatica, govt, it is simply wonder
full how quickly "Anuric" acts; causing
the pains and stiffness rapidly to disap-
pear.

all your hair will then be beautifully
darkened and to such natural, even

1t is just as necessary to keep the kid

The very best possible way to take care

this way it is readily dissolved with the.

reaches the kidneys, where it has a tonic
