caught sight OF Nell Trask and her
father just leaving the opposite tene-
ment. She recognized the old man.
She was dumfounded. AS she gazed,
they were lost In the crowd. She saw
that the car could not be turned
around. Every moment was precious.
Impulse told her not to lose this pre-
cious chance. She obeyed impulse.
Without pausing to inform the chauf
feur, Gloria opened the door, dropped
out, and ran after the Trasks. She
picked them up again after while.
She saw policeman. She resolved to
order him to arrest the criminal. AS
she hesitated, she saw Trask stop and
tenderly relieve the weary Nell of
her baby's weight. He fondled and
nuzzled the child and laughed with
grandfatherly foolishness. Gloria
turned away from the policeman.
She followed at little distance,
wondering what to do. The best thing
would be, she felt, to find out where
he lived. She followed for blocks.
The Trasks climbed the stairs of the
elevated. Gloria went up after them.
She took the next car on the same
train. 1t seemed that they would ride
on forever. Far uptown they got out.
Gloria got out. She trailed them at
greater distance now because the
streets were sparsely populated. The
street sloped sharply down to the

to the barge. There was no policeman
in sight anywhere. The men lettering
about the barges did not appeal to
Gloria as desirable Samaritans to ask
for help.
Another of Gloria's impulses stirred
her feet almost against her will. She
ran along the wharf, crossed a plank
to the Trask barge, and went to the
cabin hatchway. She heard voices of
anger coming up. The girl was up
braiding her father for deserving her
and accusing him of further crime.
She was crying Historically.
"You killed him. He is dead and
you killed him."
The old man denied the charge with
frenzy. He laughed at it, swore that
he was innocent. The girl was al
ready persuaded and this so enraged
Gloria that she darted down the steps
and cried out at Trask:
"You did kill him. I saw you"

Strand Of this place died in Willis
ton hospital last Sunday evening about
9 o'clock from internal hemorrhage,
resulting from a blow on the head
above the right ear with bottle in the

Mr.. Strand was one of a fishing par

Missouri river below Senechal, 80 miles
north of Schafer, and with another
member of the party had motored to
the store at Senechal for supplies.
For the first time he there met Mr..
Bonner. Following an alteration he
struck Mr.. Bonner in the face with his
fist. He later attempted second at

He was taken to the fishing camp and
later to hospital at Williston, where

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
Tells how to loosen a tender corn
or calIus so it lifts out
without pain.

You reckless men and women who
are pestcred with corns and who have
at least once a week invited an awful
death from lockjaw or blood poison
arc now told by Il Cincinnati authority
to use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are applied
to any corn or eallus the soreness is re-
licvcd and soon the entire corn or cal
lus, root and all, lifts off with the fin
gers.
FreczOnc dries the moment it is ap-
piled, and simply shrivels the corn or cal
lus without inflaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very little
at any of the drug stores, but will posi-
lively rid ones feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If your
druggist hasn't any freezone he can get
it at any wholesale drug house for you.

NO TROUBLE SINCE

ceived complete relief. Now Mrs.

out any return of kidney trouble. Re-
suits that last are results that count.

perience of Mrs. Anthony Botz, Of PA

of grip weakened my kidneys. I suf-
fered for long time after that from
pain and lameness across the small OF
my back. Any exertion was painful
Doan's Kidney Pills soon removed the
troubles"

chal Monday afternoon.
According to those who witnessed
part of the affair, Mr.. Bonner struck
the blow in self-defense. These per-
sons seem to be of the opinion also
that Mr.. Strand was laboring under
some mental delusion at the time as
they say he attacked Mr.. Bonner with
out any PROPAGATION whatever.
L he fact that Mr.. Strand was mixed
up in an affair of this nature came as
a complete surprise tosthe community
where he was well known. He has
never been known to have had trouble
of a like nature with anyone. He has
always been considered as a generous,
likeable, good-natured sort and has
many good friends in the county. He
was a thoroughly competent and efici-
ent office man and has held responsible
positions. He purchased the McKen-
zie County Abstract company business
here last fall and has been actively en-
gagged in looking after the business
since that time.

NOT KHAKI NOW
BUT OLIVE DRAB
Change Made From Former Material
so That Uniforms Could be Manu-
featured Entirely of
American Products.

1t is incorrect to speak Of the uni
form worn by the soldiers in the regu
lar army and militia as Khaki" &C
cording to an account in the Kansas
City Star The uniforms worn now
are described by the war department
as Cotton, o. D.. or Wool, o. d. The
O. D. means olive drab, and is de-
scriptive Of the color Of the uniforms.
Cotton uniforms are worn in the sum-
mer and wool in the winter.
Khaki is word of East Indian orr
gin, and comes from the word "khak,"
meaning dusty, according to this ac-
count. 1t is clay or dust-colored cloth
originally coming from India. 1t was
first worn by native Indian troops and
later as the field uniform of British
troops. 1t was later adopted by the
United States for both field and
colonial service. 1t was considered
as very serviceable and was supposed
to merge into the color Of the
ground. It is lighter in color than
olive drab and is said to be superior
to the cotton uniforms now worn in
the army.
An army captain said that the
change was made so that the uniform
could be made entirely of materials
produced in the United States. The
cotton and wool cloth as well as the
olive drab dyes are manufactured in
this country, whereas the khaki dyes
and cloth were imported, mostly from
England.
