Red-blooded men Of courage are on
the firing line-and there are many
anemic, weak, discouraged men and
women left at home.
At this time of the year most people
suffer from a condition often called
Spring Fever. They feel tired, worn
out, before the day is half thru. They
may have frequent headaches and
sometimes "pimply" or pale skin.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic peo-
pie, those with pale cheeks and lips,
who have poor appetite and feel that
tired, worn or feverish condition in the
springtime Of the year, should try the
refreshing tonic powers Of good al
terative and blood purifier. Such one
Is extracted from Blood root, Golden
Seal and Stone root, Queens root and
Oregon Grape root, made up with
chemically pure glycerine and without
the use Of alcohol. This can be OBJ

sixty-cent Walls, as druggists have sold
1t for fifty years as Doctor Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t Is
standard remedy that can be obtained
In tablet or liquid form.

a week even by persons who have
movement daily, In order to eliminate

system at least once week Is to prac-

SO good for this purpose as tiny pills
made up Of the May-apple, leaves Of
aloe and jalap, and sold by almost
all druggists In this country as Doctor
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, sugar-coated,
easy to take.

His companion flashed q look of
warning at him and explained that
they were going down the river to look
for work outside of the district.
Suddenly Trelawney broke loose
and began to curse Macdonald with a
bitterness that surprised the govern
ment agent. What struck him most,
though, was the obvious anxiety of
Eorthrup to quiet his partner and to
gloss over what he had said.
Elliot bought an automatic revolver
next morning and box of cartridges.
He was not looking for trouble, but he
Intended to be prepared for it when
trouble came looking for him. In the
afternoon he walked out of town and
practiced shooting nt tin cans for
half an hour. On his way back he
met Peter Paget.
The engineer came straight to the
subject in his mind
"Selfridge came to see me last night.
He told me about III" trouble between
you and Macdonald Gordon. You must
leave town till he cools down. Mac
Donald is bad man with gat."
"Is he? There'll be no trouble Of
my making. But II he starts any I'll
be there. Macdonald doesn't own the
earth, you know. I've been sent up
here by Uncle Sam on business, and
vou can bet your last dollar I'll stay
on the Job till I'm through"
''Of course you've got to finish your
Job. But It doesn't nil have to be done
right here. Just for week or two"

I'm not thinking on that subject

"But If you could show Mac"
THAT'S up to you. I'll not lift a
finger. l didn't start this war and I'm
not making any peace overtures."
You're as obstinate as the devil"
smiled Peter, but In his heart he ad-
mired the dourness of his friend.
The engineer went to Macdonald and
gave deleted version of his talk with
Elliot. The Scotsman listened. bit
ter, incredulous smile on his face.
"Says he didn't bring her. does he?
Tell him from me that he lies. Your
wife let out to me by accident that he
threatened to bring her. Meteetse and
he came up on the boat together. He
was with her at your house when she
told her story. He's trying to save his
hide. No chance"
Elliot isn't liar. When he says he
didn't bring the woman, that satisfies
me. I know he didn't do It," insisted
Paget stiffiy.

interest in bringing her except hIm7

Peter was Of different stuff from
Selfridge. He had something to say.
So he said 1t.
'"Times have changed. Mac. You
can't shoot down this fellow without
making all kinds Of trouble. First
thing. we'd lose our claims. The ad-
ministration would drop you like hot
potato II you did thing like that.
Sheba would never speak to you again.
Your friends would know in their
hearts 1t was murder You can't do It,"

let him get out. That's my last word
to him."

Colby Macdonald, in miners boots
and corduroy working suit. stood be-
side his horse with one arm thrown
carelessly across its rump. He was
about to start for Seven Mile Creek
camp with $2.7OO in the saddlebags to
pay the men there.
Diane was talking with him. "She's
young and fine and spirited. OF course
1t was great shock to her. She had
been idealizing you. But I think she
is beginning to understand things bet
ter. At any rate, she does not hate
you any more. Give the girl time"
"You think she will-be reasonable1"
IT don't know. But I'm sure of one
thing. She'll not be reasonable, as you
call 1t. unless you are reasonable"
"You mean-Elliot?"
Eyes. She likes him very much. Do
you know that when the Indian woman
came he urged Sheba not to listen to
her story?"
Sounds likely-after he had spent
his good money bringing her here"
sneered the mine owner.
"He didn't. Gordon is splendid fel-
low. He wouldn't lie," answered Di-
ane hotly. "And one thing is sure4f
you lay finger on him for this, 1t will
be fatal with Sheba. She will be
through with you"
Macdonald had thought Of this be-
fore. 1t had been coming to him from
several different angles that he could
not afford to crafty his desire to wipe
this meddlesome young Official from
his path. He made a slow, sulky
promise.
"An right. I'll let him alone. Peter
can tell him"

GUS, but as he paced up and down the
narrow beat beside the bed his anger
gave way to anxiety. Surely the Pag-
cts could not believe he had done such
a thing. And Sheba-would she ac-
cept as true this weight of circum-
stantial evidence that was piling up
against him?
1t could all be explained so easily.
And yet-the facts fitted like links of
a chain to condemn him. He went
over them one by one. The babbling
tongue Of Selfridge that had made
edy in which he and Macdonald were
the principals-his purchase Of the
automatic-his public meeting with
two known enemies of the Scotsman,
during which he had been seen to give
them money-his target practice with
the new revolver-the unhappy chance
that had taken him out to Seven-Mile
Greek Camp the very day Of the rob-
bery-his casual questions Of the min
ers-even the finding Of the body by
him. All of these dove-tailed with
the hypothesis that his partners in
crime were to escape and bear the
blame, while he was to bring the body
back to town and assume innocence.
Paget was admitted to his cell later
in the morning by Gopher Jones. He
shook hands with the prisoner. Jones'

the meaning Of his friend. "Try not
