Clear, Peachy Skin

Says an inside bath, before break
fast helps us look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and yivacious-merry,
bright, alert-a good, clear skin and

are assured only by pure blood. II
only every man and woman could be
induced to adopt the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place. Instead of the thousands Of
siczly, anaemic-looking men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy
compilations; instead of the multi
tudes Of nerve wrecks "rundowns,"

should see a virile, optimistic throng
Of rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking

Those subject to sick headache, bill

pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain quarter pound of limestone

CHAPTER II.
The Ambush.

Alaire Austin, like most normal
women, had surprising amount Of
endurance, both nervous and muscu-
ar. but, having drawn heavily against
ncr reserve force, she paid the penalty.
During the early hours OF the night
she slept hardly at all as soon as her
bodily discomfort began to decrease
her mind became unruly, and it was
not until nearly dawn that she dropped
off into complete Inconsistencies. She
was awakened by a sunbeam which
pierced her leafy shelter.
It was still early; the sun had just
cleared the valleys rim and the ground
was damp With dew. Somewhere near
by an unfamiliar bird was sweetly
trilling. Alaire listened dreamily I'M
til the birdcarol changed to the air of
a familiar cowboy song, then she sat
up, Queerly startled.
David Law was watering his horse,
grooming the animal meanwhile with
a burlap cloth. 1t was a beautiful
blood-bay mare, and as the woman
looked it lifted it's head, then with
wet, trembling muZzle caressed it's
owners cheek. Undoubtedly this at
tenti0n was meant for a kiss, and was
as daintily conferred as any womans
favor 1t brought reward in a lump
of sugar.
"Good morning" said Mrs. Austin.
Law lifted his fiat in q graceful sa-
lutte as he approached around the edge
of the pool, his spurs jingling musical
ly. The mare followed.
"You have a fine horse there"
"Yes'm. Her and me get along all
right. I hope we didn't wake you,
ma am"
"No. / was too tired to sleep WELL"
"Of course. | heard you stirring
about during the night" Law paused,
and the mare, with sharp ears cooked
forward, looked over his shoulder IN
quisitively. Tell the lady good morn.

animal flung its head high, then

neck, shifted doubtfully at the visitor.

CHAPTER I.
The Water~Hole.

The Water~Hole.
A titful breeze played among the
mesquite bushes. The naked earth,
where it showed between the clumps
of grass, was baked plaster hard. AL
though the sun was halfway down the
west, it's glare remained untempered,
and the tantaliZing shade Of the sparse
mesquite was more of q trial than a
comfort to the lone woman who, refuS-
ing it's deceitful invitation, plodded
steadily over the waste. Stop, indeed,
she dared not. In spite of her fatigue
regardless of the torture from feet and
limbs unused to walking, she must,
as she constantly assured herself, keep
going until strength failed. Somewhere
to the nOrthWard, perhaps q mile, per-
haps a league distant, lay the water
hole.
Desert travel was nothing new to
her; thirst and fatigue were old ac-
quaintances. She readjusted the strap
Of the empty water bag over her Shout
der and the loose cartridge belt at her
hip, then set her dusty feet down the
slope. The sun had grown red and
huge when at last in the hard-baked
earth she discovered fresh footprints.
She followed them gladly encOur-
aged when they were joined by
others. A low bluff rose on her left,
and along its crest scattered Spanish
daggers were raggedly Silh0uetted
against the sky. She tried to run, but
her legs were heavy; she stumbled
great deal, and her breath made
strange, distressing sounds rs it issued
from her open lips. Rounding the
steep shoulder OF the ridge, she has

after the first glance except the water,
She would have flung herself full

stepped forward and stayed her, then
placed Il tin cup in her hand. She
mumbled something in answer to his
greeting and the h0arSe, ravenlikG

she drank, with trembling eagerness
drenching the front Of her dress. The
water was warm but it was clean and
delicious.

no command came from the Ranger.
Then, as if in answer to her perpleX-

the woman realized how simply she
had been fooled.

MAcMILLAN'S MOVING STORY.
Discovers Records and Learns New Facts
About Kane.

Freeport, Me, Sept. 1.-The route OF
Dr. Frederick Cook in his journey toward
the north pole was retraced by Donald
Macmillan, the explorer, who has just
returned from the arctic, according to a
statement by Macmillan at the home of
relatives here.
Macmillan said that, accompanied by
E-took "A shue. the Eskimo who travelled
with DIR. Cook, he picked up the trail
near Cape Thomas Hubbard and followed
it to what the Eskimo said was Cooks
farthest north camping place. This camp
was about one days march from Cape
Thomas Hubbard and from there TO the
pole would have been journey of many
days according to Macmillan. From the
camp the trail led in a zigzag manner
across Ellesmere Land
Macmillan said he also interviewed
As-Pe-Lah, another Eskimo who was
with Cook. On map As-Pe-Lsh traced
the route that~Cook took across Elles-
mere Land, and it was identical with
one that had been traversed by MacAlil-
Ian and E-took-a -shue.
Macmillan brought back a piece of an
American flag, one of the five left by
Rear Admiral Robert f. Peary on his
way TO the north pole. This piece was
found in Peary's old hut at Cape Sabine.
In its place he left a Bowdoin college |
flag. Both Peary and Macmillan are
graduates of Bowdoin.
Records OF DR.. Kane's explorations were
found by Macmillan at Rensselaer, har-
Dor. In one of DR.. Kane's huts was a
large piece of paper with the following
