ACHES AND PAINS

Don 1T neglect pain anywhere, but
find out what causes it and conquer
the cause. A pain in the kidney region
may put you on your back tomorrow,
Don t blame the weather for swollen
feet, it may be an advanced warning
of Bright's disease. A pain in the stom-
ach may be the first symptom of ap-
pendieitis. A creak in Joint may be
the forcrunner of rheumatism. Chronic
headaches moro than likely warn you
of serious stomach trouble. The best
way is to keep in good condition day

Arizona Has Goal Lands Galore.

In spite of the fact that there are hundreds of square miles of un- developed coal lands in the State of Arizona, the people in Tomb stone, Douglas and Bisbee are suffering for want of the fuel. Regarding the Arizona deposits the Arizona Republican says:
 According to several state officials, there is enough high grade coal in Arizona to keep the whole country going for a long time. The coal is in the state lands, and at the present time there is no law allowing the taking of minerals from Indian reservations.
 Fred Nelson, prominent Apa- yesterday afternoon that there were 300 square miles of coal land north of Winslow. The coal is of the highest grade. accord ing to Nelson. He related yes terday that about 25 years ago, the Santa Fe sent out to the h. dian coal fields, and brought in enough to fill one engine tender. The record that that engine made on the Arizona coal was simply amazing. In fact, after that memorable run there was a goodly quantity left over, which lasted for a good many years as a monument to unsuccessful am bitionS.
 It was also stated by several northern officials that there was a project on hand to build wagon road out to the coal fields and in this manner alleviate the threatened coal shortage in the north.

PEACEFUL INVASION.
American Cowmen Permitted to
 Bring Cattle out of Sonora.

An international roundup" took place the first of the week when 331 headssof Sstray cattle belonging to American cattlemen on the southern border of Ariz- ona, were brought. back across the line by a party of cowinen.
 Almost every year there is a roundup of American cattle that have strayed across the line, and as a rule little difficulty is en- countered in getting the neces- Sary permit to bring the cattle across. This year much trouble was experienced, and J. M. Ron stadt of the Ronstadt Cattle com pauy finally enlisted the aid of Congressman Carl Hayden and the permit was fiually issued by the Mexican governmentSto l. Roca, of the Ronstadt Cattle company, who headed the party.
 Col. Camargo, a Mexican army officer, was with the partys and checked the cattlesand brands as they were formally turned over to the party of Americans. Some had strayed as far south as 50 miles.
 The bunch had been collected for some time at the San Carlos ranch and kept in pasture there Among the larger owners re- presented were Mthe Arivaca Land and Cattle company, Kirk Hart. and others. About IS ow- ners cnly had one or two head of cattle in the bunch.
 The partySwasstreated with the greatest courtesy by Mexican cattlemen on the other side, and it was the opinion of the visitor S that much had been done by them to protect the American

Freneau was permitted to send up
flowers, but he could not be sure that
they reached her. He wondered what
Royce was saying about him to Gloria,
and whether she believed it.
He did not know that Royce had
been discouraged to make even what
protest he might have given voice to.
When he first entered Gloria's room,
Royce saw on the little table near her
bed silver-framed portrait of Ere
neau. Gloria was too delirious to see
how his lip curled with scorn. But
her father saw it, and when Royce
said, This fellow is a scoundrel,
Pierpont answered, sternly:
Il called you to treat my daughters
health, not her heart"
Freneau did not know that he had
such an ally in the family. But he
knew that he had an enemy of pc.
culiar sort, an enemy who loved him
not wisely, but too well. And that was

He had expected that she would let
him go with sigh or smile, as his
other sweethearts had done when they
realized that his heart had wings and
used them. He was to learn how Sc
riously Lois took his attentions and to
learn it at most inconvenient time.
He had respected Pierpont's wish that
the engagement to Gloria should be
kept secret, and had told no one but
his partner, Mulry. He had most de-
cidedly not told Lois. He was plan
ming to discard her as gracefully as
possible before the news broke.
Mulry had chuckled with joy at the
news of the engagement But he grew
as glum as an owl when he learned of
Glorias illness. At length he said to
Freneau:
MY boy, you've got to go and Dor
row of your papa-in-law to be, or we've
got to close the shop. Our branch of.
fees are bowling for their back pay,
and we've got to pull down some cash

SIXTH EPISODE.

Yhe sudden and perilous illness OF
Gloria Stafford threw her official lover,
Reeneau, also into sudden and peri
aons situation He and his partner.
AEnlry, had counted on using Freneau's
engagement to the daughter of the
great Pierpont Stafford as kind of
collateral at the bank.
When the girl was stricken down
with pneumonia, Freneaus heart was
wrung as we'll as his purse. He was
genuinely in love with Gloria. It was
not hard to love so beautiful, so rich,
and so infatuating girl. But he had
not counted on death as a possible
rival.
And there was another, more GER
tain rival-Dr. Stephen Royce-whom
Gloria's brother, David, had called in
to take charge of the case. Royce had
loved Gloria before Freneau ever saw
her. 1t was Royce who had actually
saved her from the Seminole Indians.
Royce despised Freneau and had told
him SO. Royce would not even permit
Freneau to enter the sick room, where
he was master.
