crooked he certainly had magnificent nerve Duane almost decided he was above suspicion But his noncha- lance. his air of finality. his authorit- ative assurance-these to Duaue's keen and practised eyes were in sig nificant contrast to a certain tense- ness of line about the mouth and a slow paling of his olive skin.

 No woman suffering from any form of female troubles should lose hope until she has given Lydia E. Pinkhan's Veg etable Compound fair trial.

 "Who re you?' asked Duane. quiet ly.
 "BO Sneaker" he said.
 Ranger, what II you do with himT' Lawson Queried, as if uncertain, now the capture was made.
 I'll see to that" replied Duane, and he pushed Sneaker in front of him out into the court.
 Duane had suddenly conceived the idea of taking Sneaker before Mayor Longstreth in the court.
 When Duane arrived at the hall where court was held there were all seemed excited; evidently, news of Duane had preceded him. Longstreth sat at table on a platform. Near him sat thick-set griZzled man. with deep eyes, and this was HanfOrd Owens, county judge. To the right stood tail, angular, yellOw-faced fellow with q dropping sandy mus tache. Conspicuous on his vest was huge silver shield. This was Gorsech one of TnngStrath's shnrifS There were four other men whom Duane knew by sight, several faces were familiar. and half a dozen strangers, all dusty hOrscmen.

 What d you break in here for" demanded LongStreth.
 Isn't this the court? Aren't you the mayor of Fairdalc:" interrogated Duane. His voice was clear and loud. almost piercing.
 Yes" replied Lougstreth. Like flint he seemed, yet Duane felt his intense interest.
 I've arrested a criminal" said Duane.
 Arrested a criminal!" ejaculated LongStrcth. You? Who are you?"

 A significant silence ensued.
 'I charge Sneaker with assault on Laramie and attempted robbery-if not murder. Hes had q shady past here, as this court will know if it keeps a record"
 What's this I hear about you, Bo? Get up and speak for yourself" said LongStreth, grufily.
 Sneaker got up. not without a fur tive glance at Duane. and he had shuffled forward few steps toward the mayor. He had an evil front, but not the boldness even of a rustler.
 Tt ain't so. LongStreth" he began, loudly. 'I went in Laramie's place fer grub. Some feller I never seen before come in from the hall an hit Laramie an wrastled him on the floor I went out. Then this big ranger chased me an fetched me here. didn't do nothin'. This rangers hank erin 10 arrest somebody. Thet's my hunCh, LOngstreth."
 Longstreth said something in an undertone to Judge owens, and that worthy nodded his great bushy head.
 ''Bo. you're discharged" said Long streth, bluntiy. NOW the rest of you clear out of here"
 He absolutely ignored the ranger. That was his rebun to Duane-his slap in the face to an interfering ranger service. If LonGstreth was
