CHAPTER VI.

Next morning Duane found that a moody and Respondent spell had fas- tened on him, Wishing to be alone, he went out and walked trail leading round the river bluff. He thought and thought. After while he made out that the trouble with him probably was that he could not resign himself to his fate. He cared vastly more, he discovered, for what he considered honor and integrity than he did for life. He saw that it was bad for him to be alone. But, it appeared, lonely months And perhaps years inevitably must be his.
 Another thing puzzled him. In the bright light of day he could not recall the state of mind that was his at twilight or dusk or In the dark night. By day these yisitations became to hlm what they really -phantoms of his conscience. He could dismiss the thought of them then. He could

 Euchres narrow eyes twinkied. and he gave the dough he was rolling slap with his four whitened hand. Manifestly he had proclaimed himself a champion and partner of Duane's, with all the pride an old man could feel in a young one whom he admired.
 Wal" he resumed, presently, "thet's your introduction To the border, Buck. An your card was a high trump. You'll be let severely alone by real gun-fghfers an men like Bland, Alloway.

feplied Duane somewhat Tamt1y. The earnest eyes embarrassed him.
 'Euchse's good. He's the only person in this awful place who's been good to me. But he's afraid of Bland. He said you were different. Who are you?'
 Duane told her.
 You're not robber or rustler or murderer or some bad man come here to hide?"
 No, I'm not" replied Duane trying to smile. I'm on the dodge You know what that means. I got in a shooting-scrap at home and had to rua off. When it blows over l hope to go back"
 "Oh. l know what these outlaws are. Yes you're different" She kept the strained gaze upon him. but hope was kindling, and the hard lines of her youthful face were snftening.
 Something sweet and warm stirred deep in Duane as he realized tae un-

CHAPTER VII.

That night Duane was not troubled by ghosts haunting his walking and sleeping hours He awoke feeling bright and eager, and grateful to Euchre for having put something worth while into his mind. During breakfast, however, he was unusually thoughtful, working over the idea of hew much or how little he could con fide in the outlaw. He was aware of Euchre's scrutiny.
 Wal" began the old man, at last, how'd you make out with Jennie? What d you an she talk aboutT'
 "We had a little chat. You know you wanted me to cheer her up.'
 Euchre sat with coffee-cup poised and narrow eyes studying Duane.
 Buck, I've seen some outlaws whose word was good. Mine is. You can trust me. I trusted you, takin' you over there an putin you wise to my tryin' to help thet poor kid"
 Thus enjoined by Euchre. Duane he- gan to tell fhe conversations with Jen- nie and Mrs. Bland word for word. Long before he had reached an end Euchre set down the coffee-cup and began to stare, and at the conclusion of the story his face lost some of it's red color and beads of sweat stood out thickly on his brow.
 "Wal, if thet doesn't floor mel" he ejaculated, blinking at Duane. Young man, I fingered you was some swift, an sure to make your mark on this caliber. Do you know what 1t II take to do all you promised Jen?"
 'I haven't any idea," replied Duane, gravely.
 You'll have to pull the wool over Kate Blands eyes, an even if she falls thet won't be easy. An shed kill you in minnit, Buck, if she ever got wise. You ain't mistaken her none, are you7"
 Not me, Euchre. She's woman. I'd fear her more than any man. l Wal, you'll have to kill Bland an Chess Alloway an Rugg. an mebbe | SOinC OtHciSy DCIOic yOu tdu IiuC Osh into the hills with thet girl"
 'All right. I'll meet what comes." said Duane, quietly. "The great point is to have horses ready and pick the right moment, then rush the trick through
 "Thet's the only chance fer success. An you cant do 1t alone."
 "I'll have to. I wouldn't ask you to help me-
 Wal. I'll take my chances" replied Euchre, gruffly. "I'm going to help Jennie, you can gamble your last peso on thet."
 They talked and planned, though in truth it was Euchre who planned. Duane who listened and agreed. While awaiting the return of Bland and his lieutenants it would be we'll for Duane to grow friendly with the other out laws to sit in few games of monte. or show q willingness to spend little money. The two scbemers were to

 Duane was content te let the matter rest there and had little more to say. Euchre and Mrs. Bland talked and joked, while Duane listened.
 Once he happened to glance into the house, and deep in the shadow of a corner he caught pale gleam of Jen- nie's face with great, staring eyes on him. Watching his chance, he flashed look at her; and then 1t seemed to him the change in her face was won- derful.
 Later, after he had left Mrs. Bland with meaning "Adios-manana," and was walking along besides the old out law, he found himself thinking of the girl instead of the woman, and of how he had seen her face blaze with hope and gratitude.

 Tt cant be. You're only-after me, too, like Bland-like all of them"
 Duane's long arms went out and his hands clasped her shoulders. He shook her.
 Look at me-straight in the eye. There are decent men. Haven't you a father-a brother?"
 "They're dead-killed by raiders. We lived in Dimmit County. I was carried away" Jennie replied. hurried ly. She put up an appealing hand tC him. Forgive me. I believe-I know you're good. It was orly-I live so much in fear-Im half crazy-Fye al most forgotten what good men are like. Mister Duane, you'll help me?"
 Yes, Jennie, l will Tell me how. What must I do? Have you any plan?"
 "Oh no. But take me away"
 ''I'lI try" said Duane, simply. That won't be easy, though. Are you watched kept prisonerY
 "No. I could run off lots of times. But I was afraid. I'd only have fallen into worse hands. Euchre has tolG me that.

Then I've heard Chess Alloway try to persuade Bland to give me to him. Duane, you must be quick if you'd save me"
 q realize that" replied he, thought fully. T think my difficulty will be to fool Mrs. Bland. If she suspected me she'd have the whole gang of outlaws on me at once."
 .'She would that. You've got to be careful-and quick"
 What kind of a woman is sheW inquired Duane.
 ''She's-she's brazen. I've heard her with her lovers. They get drunk sometimes when Bland's away. She's got a terrible temper. She's vain. She likes flattery. Oh, you could fool her easy enough if you'd lower your self tG-to-"
 "To-m make love to herr" Interrupted Duane.
 Jennie brayely turned shamed eyes to meet his.
 My girl, I'd do worse than that to get you away from here," he said, bluntly.
 "But-Duane," she faltered, and again she put out the appealing hand. "Bland will kill you"
 Duane made TO reply to this. He was trying to still rising strange tumult in his breast. The old emotion the rush of the instinct to kill He turned cold all over.
 "Chess Alloway will kill you if Bland doesn't" went on Jennie, with her tragic eyes on Duane's.
 'Mayhe he will" replied Duane. It was difficult for him to force smile. But he achieved one.
 "Oh, better take ne off at once" she said. "Save me without rislling so much-without making love, to Mrs. Blandi"
 "Surely, if I can There I see Euehre coming with a weman."
 That's her. Oh, she mustn't see me with you
 Wait -a moment" whispered Duane. as Jennie slipped indoors. "We've settled it. Dcn't forget. I'll find some way to get word to you, per. hans through Euchre. Meanwhile keep ap your courage Remember I'll save you somehow. We'll try strategy first.

CAL0MEL TODAY,
SICK T0MMOROW
Dose of nasty calomel makes you
sick and you lose a
days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver. When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get a so cent bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a
harmless vegetable substitute for dan
gerous calomel. Take spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better ana quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you sick, you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and
ready Tor work or play. It's harmless,
pleasant and safe to give to children;
they like it.-(Advt.) -,

MILITARY MANS QUEER PET
Spider Proved Mascot In Hot Fight In
Egypt, and Subsequently Made
Long Voyage In Safety.

An English military officer has told
Of spider of his acquaintance that
went through several battles and pro-
ceeded on long journey by sea and
land, and all without any mischance.
It appeared that the first time this
spider came into public notice was
just before the fight at Atbara in Up
per Egypt. 1t had Quartered itself In
the ventilator of the helmet of the
officer. 1t was an energetic and busy
little spider, but always returned to
its quarters In the helmet, where the
good-natured officer left it unmolested.
When he went into the Atbara fight,
it was still in his helmet. Many men
were killed in this engagement, but
the officer. and his spider came
through it unhurt.
The fighting at an end, the British
officer packed various articles to be
sent home, and among them the hel.
met referred to. Inside was the spider
Not until his effects had been dis
patched, did the officer remember the
spider. It was then, of. course, too
late. The officer regretted that he had
sent his little friend on such a long
voyage without. stocking the larder.
When the officer. Reached London it
was, he says, with considerable com.
junction that he opened the helmet
box, fully expecting to see the dead
body of the spider. Instead, however,
he was rejoiced to find his friend alive
and vigorous--and not even lonely,
since, upon the voyage the occupants
of the helmet had increased in num-
Der, and now two young spiders shared
the strange retreat.

Aid to Sleep.

There are two very simple but ef-
fective remedies for that kind of sleep
lessness that comes from overwork or
nervous exhaustion. One is to have.
the feet very warm. Put them against
rubber bag filed with hot water. A
rubber bag is better than an earthen
bottle, as it will retain the heat for
hours. The second method is much
more simple. Discard the pillow, turn
over and lie on the stomach with
hands clasped under the forehead to
lift the head a trifle. This will often
send one to sleep.
When you are tired and nervous a
good rubbing all over the body with
the lotion here given will be very rest
full. Lie quietly in bed after the rub
bing for half an hour and you will then
feel quite equal to taking up the daily
tasks again. Here is the lotion: Di-
luted> alcohol, six ounces; cologne wa.
ter, six ounces; tannin, ten grains.

Siberia PICKING .Up.


A number of new commercial enter
prises have recently been undertaken
In northern Siberia. Many iodine
works have been established in the
neighborhood of Vladivostok, on the
shore of the Japanese sea, the iodine
being made from seaweed found there
in abundance. An interesting distil-
lery for ether has been opened, the
bulk of the ingredients being violets
and iris blossoms from the Ussuri
countryside. A good deal of amber
is being collected from the beach
along the coast of Premorsk and
many new salt workings have been
opened in the government of Irkutsk
and in the Lena hinterland in the vi
Unity of Viluisk.
