the peace or Europe. There was a rise
on the Bourse. And month later the
news had reached the Guinea coast
and begun to trickle through the jun
gle toward Bondouiiou.
In the meantime, the white popula-
tion of that fourlshing factorie con-
tinued to go armed. Durand and
Schwencker kept up their nightly in
terchange of visits, but their mutual
hatred and suspicion were barely dis
guised. Durand was more cynical than
ever. He scoffed at Bondoukou and
anyone who manifested an Interest in
it-meaning Schwencker. AS soon as
the place was properly allotted on the
map. he said, he would have the gov
ernoc send him a company Of trail
Ieafs to teach the neighborhood a les
son. He kept his flag flying day and
night. He boasted that 1t would never
come down. 1t was all the same to
him, only it would never come down.
Schwencker was less loquaclous, but
he also kept his flag flying. He also
kept his revolver clean. But day by
day he was becoming more melancholy.
Why was he left In doubt? Was the
Fatherland forgetting its outpost? Was
the Kaiser forgetting his sentinel? He
sought relief in extra work. He got
the head man to have the entire village
cleaned. He started BOndoukou's first
public building, a combination council
chamber and schoolhouse. He moved
about with sort Of awful fatality.
Some Of the pickaninnies could now
repeat the first stanza of the "Lorclei,"
and pronounce such phrases as Sehr
icOhl, Mein herr, or Vie geht es hneny
but they were grinning less.
And one afternoon Schwencler called
on the head man and explained what
should be done If he tSchwencker)
should happen to die.
The head man liked Schwencker, and
went that night to consult a witch
doctor. The witch-doctor said that the
big German was in grave danger, and
that to protect him it would be neces-
sary to sacrifice goat. The head man,
who had his suspicious, wanted to
know whether the danger didn't come
from the other white man. The witch
doctor said no-that the forces Of evil
lay beyond the wide waters. The head
man suggested that they sacrifice a
black heu. The witch-doctor spat into
the ashes, and said that the danger was
drawing near. The head man paid for
the goat
Sure enough, the danger arrived late
on the following afternoon. 1t came in
the form of two packets, brought by
the same courier one for Schwencker
and another for Durand. On their re-
ception the white population of Bon
doulou withdrew each TO the privacy
Of his own house.
Durand found much that interested
him; for his friend, the chief clerk at
Abomey, wrote him a note containing
information that drew from him an
exultant "Ei, Ell" And then, the very
next sentence read: 'And it's pity
because we understand that forsaken
post Of yours has been tentatively de
clared French"
Durand broke into q chucliling laugh
that made his black boy show his
white teeth in a grin That would be
news for Sciwencker. Durand lit 6
cigarette and strolled out to his porch
feeling better-natured than he had beer
for months. 1t was the Germans NIGH
to call, and he awaited his coming com
placcntly. But Schwencker did not ap
lpear. Durand became first Impatient

II. II. Hershey. advertising manager
of the Peruna company of Columbus,
Ohio, made the following address Of in
terest to all those who are concerned
in the building up of Il permanent and
successful business:
cat this the beginning of our activi-
ty for the fall and winter, it is per
haps well to review our principles,
however. that our work is either sea
sonal or occasional. l am glad to say
that the activities of the Advertising
Club have extended through the hot
weather, and that the accomplish
ments, while not spectacular, have
nevertheless been substantial.
Advertising is the projection OF
business activity into larger field.
1t is the placing of an enterprise be-
fore larger number, the extension
of store or merchandising effort
into wider field. This applies no
matter what form the advertising
takes. The successful advertiser is he
who succeeds in telling large number
Of the service he can render, in such u
way as to create desire for that SER
vice, instill confidence that he has that
service in proper measure, and develop
this desire and confidence into action
"For in the final analysis, we are not
selling so many bolts of cloth, so many
pounds of food, so much steel and iron
cunningly devised, but we are selling
the service these articles are capable
of doing to man who is willing to part
with his money to secure this service.
This is as true OF the man who sells n
suit Of clothes or barn ventilator as
il is Of the lawyer, the dentist or the
physician.

him, which costs less TO get and there

itial sale. These repeat orders are what

liSh it like q rock, and lead to the lar
gest measure of success.
"a permanent business is always
built upon confidence. This confidence
is simply belief in the honesty, the
common garden variety of honesty Of
the advertiser. Even the dishonest ad-
vertiser does his utmost to secure this
belief.
"Now, If advertising is the extension
Of business into larger field, and we
know il is, the reader Of the advertis.
ing gains his impression OF the store
or the business whatever il may be,
from the words and methods Of the

fore, that this advertising makes the
correct impression.

ment or aggravation of symptoms at
different times of day and under dif-
ferent diets and temperatures. This
study demands the conditions found in
just such hospital, and nowhere else

is also true that the "family doctor does

sidering the difficulties under which he
works, makes wonderfully good esti.
mate of the nature of the patients dis
ease. and the treatment to be admins

"But as all accurate diagnosis simply
cannot be made in considerable num-
Der of cases without the cooperation
of number of men, each expert in his
own field, what we ask the family
doctor to be is an 'all-around' specialist.
This he attempts, but one cannot truth
fully say that he succeeds, for the at
tempt is obviously an impossible one.
Medicine is today far too large and
complicated field for any one man,
no matter how wise and experienced,
to cover"
We have not the space to speak in
divldually OF the professional men COM
posing the faculty of this old, world
famed institution, but will say that
among them are many whose long con-
nection with the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute has rendered them
experts in their several specialties,
Advantages of Specialties.
By thorough organization and sub
dividing the practice of medicine and
surgery in this institution, every IN
valid is treated by speeialist-one
who devotes his undivided attention to
the particular class of diseases to which
the case belongs. The advantage Of
this arrangement IS obvious. Medical
science covers field so vast that no
physician can, within the limits OF a
lifetime, achieve the highest degree OF
success in the treatment Of every
lmalady incidental to humanity. >

The Ozark spectator., 1916-11-22
SYNOPSIS.

The time of the story: about 1875. The place: The Texas cow country. The chief character: Buckley Duane, a young man who has inherited a lust to kill, which he suppresses. In selfdefense he shoots dead a drunken bully and is forced to flee to the wild country where he joins Bland's outlaw band. Euchre, an amiabe rascal tells him about Jennie, a young girl who 1as been abducted and sold to Bland for a bad fate. They determine to rescue the girl and restore her to civilization. Eu- chre has just reconnoitered. and Is re- porting the outlook to Buck. Euchre is killed. Buck kills Bland and Is danger ously wounded by Mrs. Bland. but es- capes with Jennie. Jennie Is abducted. Buck never sees her again. but kills her abductor. Duane barely escapes death at the hands of lynchers for a crime he new or committed. He goes to see Captain MacNelly of the Rangers, who hands him . pardon on condition that he join the Rangers and assist in breaking up the outlaws. Duane accepts and goes to the outlaw headquarters on q secret mission. He meets Colonel Longstreth. mayor of Fairdale. and Miss Ray Longstreth and her cousin. Ruth. Buck arrests a robber In Longstreths home and announces that he is Ranger. The colonel shows mark ed enmity. The new Ranger secretly or Eanizes a vigilance committee

won. The opening of that big basket beggars! The havoc was wrought in that household. The needs now were cheerfulness, kindness, help, action and these the girls furnished with a spirit that did Duane good.
 Mrs. Laramie, who dressed this baby?" presently asked Miss Long streth. Duane peeped in to see a dilapidated youngster on her knee. That sight. if any other was needed, completed the full and splendid es- timate of Ray Longstreth and wrought strangely upon his heart.
 '"rhe ranger" replied Mrs. Laramie.
 "The ranger!" exclaimed Miss Long streth.
 "Yes, he's taken care of us all since since" Mrs. Laramie choked.
 "Oh So you've had no help but his" replied Miss Longstreth, hastily. No women. Too bad. I'll send someone, Mrs. Laramie, and I'll come myself"
 Tt I'll be good of you" went on the older woman. You see, Jim had few friends-that is, right in town. And they've been afraid to help US afraid they'd get what poor Jim"
 That's awful!" burst out Miss Longstreth. passionately. "A brave

you-will s ou be-" Her voice failed.
 It seemed to Duane that she must have discovered what he had begun to suspect-that her father and Law son were not the honest ranchers they pretended to be. Perhaps she knew more. Her appeal to Duane shook him deeply. He wanted to help her more than he had ever wanted anything. And with the meaning of the tumultuous sweetness she stirred in him there came the realization of Il dangerous situation.
 q must be true to my duty" he said, hoarsely.
 If you knew me you'd know l could never ask you to be false to it."
 "Well, then-rll do anything for you"
 "Oh, thank you! I'm ashamed that believed my cousin Floyd! He lied he lied. I'm all in the dark strangely distressed. My father wants me to go back home. Floyd Is trying to keep me here. They've quarreled. Oh, l know something dreadful will happen. I know I'll need you if-if- Will you help me?''
 "Yes," replied Duane, and his look brought the blood to her face.

Il can go to Ray, tell her that, make her believe I'd tell it broadcast-tell this ranger-unless she'd marry me-"
 Lawson spoke breathlessly, with haggard face and shadowed eyes. He had no shame. He was simply in the grip of passion.
 Longstreth gazed with dark, con- trolled fury at this relative. In that look Duane saw a strong, unscrupu- lous man fallen into evil ways, but still a man. It betrayed Lawson to be the wild and passionate weakling. Like the great majority of evil and unrestrained men on the border, he had reached a point where influence was futile. Reason had degenerated. He saw only himself.
 But, Floyd, Rays the one person on earth who must never know I'm

their games and drinks and quarrels except by some decided move. Ex- citement, greed, appetite were rife In them. Duane marked, however, q striking exception to the usual run of strangers he had been in the habit of seeing. Sneaker had gone or was under cover. Again Duane caught q vague rumor of the coming of Poggin, yet he never seemed to arrive. More over the goings-on among the habitues of the resorts and cowboys who came in to drink and gamble were unusually mild in comparison with former conduct. This Hull, how ever, did not deceive Duane. It could not last. The wonder was that 1t had lasted so long.
 Duane went often to see Mrs. Lara mic and her children. One afternoon while he was there he saw Miss Long streth and Ruth ride up to the door. They carried basket. Evidently they had heard of Mrs. Laramie's trouble. Duane felt strangely glad, but he went into an adjoining room rather than meet them.
 "Mrs. Laramie, I've come to see you," said Miss Longstreth, cheer fully.
 The little room was not very light, there being only one window and the doors, but Duane could see plainly enough. Mrs. Laramie lay, hollow checked and haggard, on n bed. Once she had evidently been woman of some comelinesS. The ravageS of trouble and grief were there to read in her worn face; it had not, however, any of the hard and bitter lines that had characterized her husbands.
 Duane wondered. considering that Longstreth had ruined Laramie, how Mrs. Laramie was going to regard the daughter of an enemy.
 "So you're Granger Longstreth's girl?" Queried the woman. with her bright, black eyes fixed on her visitor.
 "YeS," replied Miss Longstreth, simply. "This is my cousin, Ruth Herbert. We've come to nurse you, take care of the children, help you in any way you'll let us."
 There was long silence.
 "Well, you look little like Long streth." finally said Mrs. Laramie, "but you're not at all like him. You must take after your mother. Miss Longstreth, l don't know if I can-if l ought to accept anything from you Your father ruined my husband"
 Yes, l know" replied the girl sad ly. That's all the more reason you should let me help you. Pray don't refuse. It will-mean much to me.
 If this poor. stricken woman had any resentment it speedily melted in the warmth and sweetness of Miss LongStrcth's manner, and no sooner had she begun to talk to the children than both they and the mother were

 Floyd bowed his head at that. as If the significance had just occurred Ia him. But he was not long at loss.
 "Shcs going to find it out sooner or later. I tell you she knows now there's something wrong out here. Shes got eyes. Mark what l say

 Lawson halted in his restless walk and leaned against the stone mantel- piece. He had his hands in his pock- cts. He squared himself as if this was his last stand. He looked desper- ate but on the moment showed an absence of his usual nervous excite ment.
 "Longstreth, that may well be true" he said. No doubt all you say is true. But it doesn't help me. l want the girl. If I don't get her-I reckon we'll all go to hellw
 Longstreth gave slight start, barely perceptible, like the switch of an awakening tiger. He sat there head down. stroking his mustache. Duanes conviction was that Longstreth right then and there decided that the thing to do was to kill Lawson
 Lawson no more caught the Hateful significance of line crossed, limit reached, a decree decided than if he had not been present. He was obsessed with himself. How, Duane wondered, had man of his mind ever lived so long and gone so far among the exacting conditions of the South west? The answer was, perhaps, that Longstreth had guided him, up- held him, protected him. The con- ing of Ray Lorgstreth had been the entering wedge of dissension.
 "You're too impatient" said Long streth. Ray might be won. She AhlSiit SOu SuNC bul ohN VI hate you. That isn't the way. Wait. Play for time. Let's plan to sell out here-stock, ranch, property-and leave the country. Then you'd have show with her"

 You mean double-cross the men? Go without their knowing? Leave them here to face whatever comes?"
 'sI mean just that"
 'I'm bad enough, but not that bad" returned Longstreth, If I can't get the gang to let me off, I'll stay and face the music. All the same, Law son, did 1t ever strike you that most of the deals the last few years have been yours?"
 "Yes. If I hadn't rung them In there wouldn't have been any. You've had cold feet, and especially since this ranger has been here."
 "Well, call it cold feet if you like. But 1 call it sense. We reached our limit long ago. Then we had to go on. Too late to turn backl"
