The colonel was coming out, and he
had stopped in the doorway to light
long-stemmed pipe. The young wom-
an got up and fiuffed her hair with the
ends of her fingers-a little gesture
which Smith remembered, recalling It
from the night Of the far-away laen
party.

Two cigars for Smith and four pipes
for the colonel further along, the tall
Missourian rose out Of the split-bot-
toned chair which he had drawn up 10

from the bowl OF the corncob into the
palm Of his hand.

Smith took n turn up and down the
stone.hagged floor Of the portco with
his hands behind him. Truly, the case
Of Timanyoni ditch was desperate;
even more desperate than he had sup
posed. Figuring rs the ievel-headed
bank cashier OF the former days, he
told himself soberly that no man In
his senses would touch it with ten
foot pole. Then the laughing gibes Of
the hundredth woman--gibes which
had cut far deeper than she had imag-
ined-came back to send the blood
surgiug through his veins. 1t would

CHAPTER VIII.
The Sick Project.

Brewster had grown into city-chartcr
size and Importance with the opening
Of the gold mines IN the Gloria district
and the transformation of the sur
rounding park grasslands into cult
waited ranches A summer hotel on the
shore of Lake Topaz-reached only By
stage from BreWster--had added its
influence; and since the hotel brought
people with well-lned pocketbooks
cral-eSjate promoters whose Offices
alled All The odd corners in the Ho-
Rhra House block.
In one oG those Offices, on the morn

was in progress between the man

Unofficial assistants. Crawford Stan

Nas tbe genial promoter, and If there
were suggestions Of iron hardness In
the sharp jaw and in the smoothly
shuNen face and iiinty eyes, there was
also a pleasant reminder of Eastern
business methods and alertness in the
promoters manner, But Lanterby,
fitting uneasily in the confidential"
chair at the desk-end knew another
and more biting side of Mr.. Stanton,
as hired man will.
Good heaven do you sit there and
tell me that the three of them let thst
hobo Of Williams push them OF tho
map? And DO you say all this hap
pened the day before yesterday: how
does il come that you are just now re-
porting it,"
The hard-faced heuchman In the
fitting chair made such explanations
as he could.
"Eoogerdeld and his two partners we
been hidin' out somewhere: / allow
they was plumb ashamed to como in
and tell how they'd let one man run

"What do you know about this fcl-
low Smith? Who is he, and where
did he come frOm?"
Lauterby told all that was known
Of Smith, and had no difficulty In com.
pressing it into a single sentence. Star
ton leaned back in his chair and the
lids or The finty eyes narrowed
thoughtfully.
There's lot more to it than that
he said inciSively at the end Of the
reflective pause. Then he added a
curt order: Make it your Job to ind
out"
Lanterby moved uneasily In his In.
secure seat but before he could speak,
his employer went on again, changing
the topic abruptly, but still keeping
within the 1ault6ndne boundaries.
What sort OF screw has gone
loose in your deal with the railroad
men? Williams got two cars OF CO.
ment and one OF steel the day before
yesterday three hours after the stuff
came in from the East"
Again Lanterhy tried to explain.

You Should Send for the Brooks
Rupture Appliance.

I It Is absolutely the only Ap-
pIiance of the kind on the market
today. and in it are embodied the
principles that inventors have sought
after for years,
,. The Appliance for retaining
the rupture cannot be thrown out Of
position,
3. Being an air cushion of soft
rubber 1t clings closely to the body,
yet never blisters or causes irritation.
Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads. used in other trusses. 1t is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
5. II is small, soft and pIiabIe.
and positively cannot be detected
through the clothing.
6. The soft, pliable bands hold
Ing the appliance do not give one
the unpleasant sensation Of wearing
a harness.
Z. There is nothing about it to
get foul, and when it becomes soiled
it can be washed without iniuri a it
in the least.
& There are no metal springs in
the Appliance to torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
g. Ali Of the material Of which
the Appliances are made is Of the
very best that money can buy. max
ing 1t durable and safe Appliance
to wear.
10. Ny reputation for honesty
and fair dealing is so thoroughly es-
tabiished by an experience of over
thirty years Of dealing with the pub
lie, and my prices are so reasonable
my terms so fair. that there certain.

Brings Instant Relief,

and
Everlasting Comfort

The Brooks Rupture Arpli-
ance Is beyond question the
most universally endorsed mp
piiance Of any kind In the
world for the retention and
eure of a ruptured condition
in men, women and children.
II is the result of more than
30 years experience and the
percentage of actuai cures
effected by lis use Is = little
short OF miraculous.
The Brooks Appliance has
SO many imitafors, that il Is
never sold IN drug stores, or
in any other way than by
mail, direct from the maker.
This is further necessary be-
cause every Brooks Appliance
is especially made and fitted
for the ease for which 1t ~
Intended.
Many hundreds of Physi-
clans and Surgeons recon-
mend the brooks Appliance
and condemn s-usses as more
harmful than almost any
other method of retaining or
treating rupture.
You may mot think that
rupture appliance can ever be
truly ''confortabIe"-but thaS
is because you nave never
