cussed the news. Even Lefever seemed
more serious when he heard the re-
port. Scott, when asked where San
dusky now was, nodded toward the
big room in front of them.
Lefever looked toward the gambling
tables. "Well go in and look at him. .
He turned to Scott to invite his com.
ment on the proposal. Think twice,

But sometimes things start them-

Of the table, where he faced Sandusky,
and De Spain, just behind his shoui-
der, had chance to look the two
Calabasas men closely over. Sandusky
again impressed him as a powerful
man, who, beyond an ample stomach,
carried his weight without showing 1t.
| De Spain credited readily the ex-

Sandusky's dexterity with a revolver

was partly explained now that De
Spain perceived Sandusky's small,

naturally bright, and that his br0ws
knit every little while in his effort to

sprawled open at the collar, and De

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and ALL dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.

Der after the single rife shot was see
ing his hand go back as be whiried and
shot instantly toward the heavy re-
port. He had whipped out his gun
and fired sidewise through the window
at the sound.
That was all. The bartenders
breathed and looked again. Men were
crowding like mad through the back
doors. De Spain, at the cigar case,
looking intentiy into the rainy street,
lighted from the corner by dingy
lamp. The four men near him had not
stirred, but, startled and alert, the
right hand of each covered the butt Of
a revolver. De Spain moved first.
While the pool players jammed the
back doors to escape, he spoke to,
without looking at, the bartender.
Whats the matter with your cur
tains?" he demanded sheathing his re-
voiver and pointing with an expletive
to the big sheet of plate glass. rs
this the way you build up business for
the hOuse?"
Those close enough to the window
saw that the bare pane had been cut,
just above the middle, by two bullet
holes. Curious men examined both
fractures when De Spain and Leftover
had left the saloon. The first hole was
the larger. 1t had been made by d
high-powercd rifle; the second was
from bullet of Colts revolver; it
was remarked as miracle of gnn-play
that the two were hardly an inch apart.
In the street a few minutes later, De
Spain and Lefever encountered Scottl
who, with his back hunched up, his
cheap black hat pulled well down over
his ears, his hands in his trousers
pockets and his thin coat collar mod

fever with certainty after he had told
the story. He waited for the Indians
opinion. Scott, looking through the
water dripping from the brim of his
seasoned derby, gave it in one word.
"Was," he amended with a quiet
smile.
Let's make sure" insisted Leftover.
"Supposlng he might be in town yet,
Bob, where is he?"
Scott gazed up the street through the
rain lighted by yellow lamps on the
obscure corners, and looked down the
street toward the black reaches of the
river. eff he's here, you'll find him
in one of two places. TENSIONS"
"But we've just come from Tent

De Spain found no difficulty In locat-
ing the fight Of marble stairs that led
to the gambling rooms. 1t was the only
lighted entrance in the side street. No
light shone at the head of the stairs,
but doorway on the left opened into
