Allison had not stirred. nor putty

stood with hands at breasts. And now
toward them Stephen O'Mara wheeled.
His legs would fail him. and he
steadied them. Blood blinded him, and
he wiped il away Swaying giddily,
he managed somehow a smile.
"Wickersham, | have met the man
whom you hired to fight for you" he
called clearly. and he has earned his
wage. Are you man enough to step
forward now and fight for yourself?'
Wickersham clueked drily in his
throat and lifted an elbow to shield his
face Shrinking back behind the first
shelter that chance afforded him, he
put the girl between him and his fear
And then weakness seized upon that

had told herself that all ignoble and

Dusk came, and regretfully she told
herself that she must be turning back

Those who have tried all sorts OF so-called
"wrinkleremovers'' in a vain effort to lose
those unwelcome traces of age illness or

their delight with the wonderful saxolite for

success of this method Is due not alone to
its marvellous effeetiveness-upon the deep

Is begun about noon and thruout the
afternoon he travels thru forests %

The companies now flooding the
north and east with these stock sales

their transactions before the people
here who understand and are capable
of seeing thru many of their schemes.

states are made the headquarters. bu,

some other state is collected here. and
the man who contemplates entering
