Half q mile farther down the track,

men leaped upon the engine and held
up the crew with their ever-ready
guns.
Hernandez stepped into the Ear be-

at no one. The shots had their eff.

his hand into her breast. and with q
jerk tore the channels bag from her
neck.

leaned over Joe. and wound some cord
loosely about his hands.
I'LL need you," he whispered, but
make no mistake. Mistakes are fatal

He left the Brute on guard and

out from within, with complete salts

Hernandez sauntered out and
glanced up the track. The track was

The Brute never heard him. He
only heard the onrushing train. He
seized a loose rail lying by the track.
He thrust it under the stationary rail
nearest him-he thrust 1t into
the roadbed. He jerked and strove
at 1t like a demon.
Within, Joe Welcher heard 1t COM

made one dive, and plunged into the

Hernandez dared not move Safety

the danger zone below. He felt that

that no man, nc human agency within

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of q neglected
scalp; Of dandruf-that awful. scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-

if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the

save your hair.
Get n 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after

take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become

The college student Of other days

Nor was the course of study designed

Government club of Williams college
is an excellent example Of the new
spirit that has entered our colleges
