can, put ne spoke no English. An ac-
cfdent of birth had made him citizen
of the United States-his father hav-
Ing owned ranch which lay north
instead of south of the Rio Grande.
Inasmuch as the property had fallen
to Ricardo, his sons, too, We're Yam
KEGS in the eyes of the law. But in
all other respects Don Ricardo and
his family differed not at all from the
many GuZmans who lived across the
sbOrder. The GuSnan ranch comprised
goodly number of acres, and, since
live stock multiply rapidly, it's owner
had in some sort proSpered. On the
bank of a reSaca-a former bed of the
Rio Grande-stoOd the house, an adobe
structure, square, white and unprOtect-
ed from the sun by shrub or tree. Be-
hind it were some brush corrals and
n few scattered mud jacals, in which
lived the help.
Ricardo had just risen from q siesta
when his two visitors rode up, and he
made them welcome with the best he
had. In the cool of the afternoon RI
cardo rode with his visitors, and then,
cordial relations being now estab.
lished, he began to divulge information
of value to Law.
Yes, he had endured many depreda-
tons from thieves. It was shameful,
but doubtless God willed that certain
amount of stealing should go on in
the world. The evildOers were GER
tainly favored by nature, in this local
ity, for the great eXpanse of brush
country to the north and east offered
almost perfect security, and the river,
to the south, gave immunity from pur-
suit or prosecution. The beeves were
driven north into the wilderness, but
the horses went to Mexico, where the
war had created market for them.
The federals had plenty of money to
buy mounts.
Whom did Don Ricardo suspect?
The old man was nOncommittal.
Suspicion was one thing, proof was
quite another; and conviction was diff
| cult under the best of circumstances.
| why, even cows recognition OF ner
own calf was not evidence for court,
and alibis were easily proved. Unless
the thieves were caught in the very
| act there was no case against them,
and-pOr Dios !-One could not be for
ever on guard. Who could tell where
| the malefactors would strike next?
Now, in Mexico one could afford to
kill an undesirable neighbor without
so much formality. But, thank God! !
Don Ricardo was not a Mexican. No,
he was a good American citizen. 1t
was something to make him sleep we'll
in these war times.
"Just the same, I'll bet he'd sleep
| better if the Lewis outfit was cleaned
up" Dave ventured. and Blaze agreed.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
sSays glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sa1low and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, a glass Of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm
mediately upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-
.vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your pharmacist
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less. except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually constipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.
