CHAPTER XIX.

Strangers rode into Fairdale; and
other hard-looking customers, new to
Duane II not to Fairdale. helped to
create a charged and waiting atmos-
phere. The saloons did unusual bust
ness and were never closed. Respect
able citizens of the town were awak-
ened in the early dawn by rowdies
%carousing in the streets.
Duane kept pretty close under
cover during the day. He did not
entertain the opinion that the first
time he walked down-street he would
be a target for guns. Things seldom
happened that way; and when they
did happen so, it was more accident
than design. But at night he was not
idle. He met Laramie, Morton, Zim-
me and others of like character; a
secret club had been formed and all
the members were ready for action.
Duane spent hours at night watching
the house where Floyd Lawson stayed
when he was not up at Longstreth's.
At night he was visited. or at least
the house was, by strange men who
were swift, stealthy, mysterious-all
that kindly disposed friends or neigh
bors would not have been. Duane
had not been able to recognize any OF
these night visitors; and he did not
think the time vas ripe for a bold
holding up of one of them. Neverthe-
less. he was sure such an event would
discover Lawson. OF someone In that
house, to be in touch with crooked
men.
Laramie was right. Not twenty
four hours after his talk with Duane,
in which he advised quick action, he
was found behind the little bar of his
restaurant with a bullet-hole in his
breast. dead. Nosone could be found
who had heard a shot. 1t had been
deliberate murder, for upon the bar
had been left a piece of paper rudeiy
scrawled with a pencil: "All friends
Of rangers look for the same"
This reused Duane. His first move,

Natures Wondrous WAYS.

One of the most curious of natures
inventions is that of an egg that can't
roll off a shelf. 1t is absolutely impor'
tant to a certain species of seabird-
the murre. This feathered creature
builds no nest, but lays its eggs on
narrow shelves of p~recipitous rocks.
Ordinary eggs-those of the domestic
hen, for example, II deposited in such
places, would be liable to roll of and
smash. But the murre's egg is of such
a shape that If disturbed 1t simply
rolls in a circle. Such being the case.
the female murre experiences no anxi-
ETY.. She could incubate her progeny
on an ordinary mantelpiece and be sat
isfied of their safety.

Prohtmoncerinq.

To those who dislike that intruder
into the English speech, 'prof1teering,"
there is at hand the more formidable
word 'profitmongering." For good old
"monger," which merely means "deal-
err" has its roots deep In the past
the shady past. In Sanscrit 1t means
ito deceive" and although there are
honest mongers of fish or iron, the
practices of too many other sorts Of
dealers have deeply tainted the word,
as all scandalmongers know. Trading
and cheating are sometimes closely
related, and even Ireland's "Great
Book of the Law" gave legal sanction
to the kinship. That venerable docu-
ment defines the three rents of land
the fair rent (Which a member Of
the clan paid), the stipulated rent, and
the rack rent, imposed upon the
stranger. The stranger suffered so
much under this ancient village COM
munity law that the "monger" In time
became a somewhat disreputable per.

1t must have been sweet praise to
her, for the whiteness of her face
burned out in a beautiful blush.

Herbert, to come" added Duane.
Let me thank you both. I'm glad
l have you girls as allies in part Of

for the sake of this good woman and
the little ones. But both of you be

Our Army Of Civil War.

During the first year of the Civil war
the number of the regular army rose
to $4,000. Lincoln's first call for vol
unteers, April Is, 1861, was for $4,000
men for three months. AT the begin
ming of 1862 the number Of volunteers
in the field was about $4,000. During
the next three years il was about 900,-
600. At the close of the war tho Union
army numbered 100000 men. The to-
tai number of troops furnished was
2yS50,O00 men.

and these the girls furnished with a
spirit that did Duane good.
"Mrs. Laramie, who dressed this
babyT" presently asked Miss Long
streth. Duane peeped in to see a
dilapidated youngster on her knee.
That sight, If any other was needed,
completed the full and splendid es-
innate of Ray Longstreth and wrought
strangely upon his heart.
"The ranger" replied Mrs. Laramie.
"The ranger !" exclaimed Miss Long
streth.
Eyes, he's taken care of us all since

the older woman. "You see, Jim had

Longstreth, p~assionately. "A brave

Manifestly Miss Longstreth had
some difficulty in subduing her emo

"He did the best he could,' said

'Then he isis something more
than a ranger?" queried Miss Long
streth, with a little break in her
voice.

Mrs. Laramie. "He buried Jim. He
paid our debts. He fetched us here.
He bought food for us. He cooked for

Good-by, Mrs. Laramie. I'll drop In
again tonight. Good-by."
"Mr. Ranger, watt" called Miss
Longstreth as he went out. She was
white and wonderful. She stepped
out of the door close to him.

II did wrong you. If you entered

"Please-please don't, Miss Long
streth," interrupted Duane.
"But, sir. my conscience f1ays me-"
she went on. There was no other
sound like her voice. "Will you take
my hand? VIII you forgive met"
She gave it royalty, while the other
was there pressing at her breast.
Duane took the proffered hand. He
did not know what else to do.
Then it seemed to dawn upon him
that there was more behind this white,
sweet. noble intensity of her than
just the making amends for a fancied
or real wrong. Duane thought the
man did not live on earth who could
have resisted her then.
81 honor you for your goodness to
this unfortunate woman" she said,
and now her speech came swiftly.

1t seemed to Duane that she must
have discovered what he had begun
to suspect-that her father and Law
son were not the honest ranchers
they pretended to be. Perhaps she
knew more, Her appeal to Duane
shook him deeply. He wanted to help
her more than he had ever wanted
anything. And with the meaning of
the tumultuous sweetness she stirred
in him there came the realization of
a dangerous situation.

said. hoarsely.
"If you knew me you'd know 1

"Well, then-TH do anything for

RHEU MATISM LEAVES
YOU FOREVER
Deep Seated Uric Acid Deposits Are
Dissolved and the Rheumatic Poi
son Starts to Leave the System
Within Twcnty-four Hours

George A. Gorgas whom you all know
is authorized to say to every rheumatic
sufferer in this vicinity that If two
bottles of Allenrhu, the sure con-
querer of rheumatism, does not stop
all agony, reduce swollen joints and
do away with even the slightest
twinge of rheumatic pain, he will
gladly return your money without
comment.
Allenrhu has been tried and tested
for years, and really marvellous re-
suits have been accomplished in the
most severe cases where the suffering
and agony was intense and piteouS
and where the patient was helpless.
Allenrhu relieves at once. Imme-
diately after you start to take it the
good work begins. 1t searches out
the uric acid deposits. dissolves the
secretions and drives rheumatic
poison out of the body through the
kidneys and bowels.
It's marvellous how quickly it acts.
Blessed relief often comes in two
days, and even in cases where the
suffering is most painful all traces
disappear in a few days.
Mr.. James II, Allen, the discoyerer
of Allenrhu, who for many years suf-
fered the torments of acute rheuma-
tism, desires all sufferers to know
that he does not want a cent of any
ones money unless Allenrhu decisive
ly conquers this worst of all dis
eases. and he has instructed George A.
Gorgas to guarantee it in every in
stance.

DEFEAT KAISER.
SOLDIERS TOLD
Former President Taft, Ad-
dressing Camp Meade Men,
Is Confident of Victory

Camp Meade, Md, Jan. Eek
President Taft delivered two stir
ring lectures here yesterday, one
before an audience of officers and
the other to crowd of enlisted men
that filled every inch of the big Y.
Nj. C. A. auditorium.
Mr.. Taft said that he hoped to
see 100000 American soldiers in
the trenches. He said:
Il know that they will fight side
by side with France and England
and with Italy, too, to crush William
Hohenzollern and his Potsdam crew,
who has been upholding the doctrine
of blood and iron. There are the
men who believe that obligations of
morality, decency, honor and hu-
manity must be brushed aside If
they interfere with the advance of
'kultur' that kultur' which as
sociates the cherubim and seraphim
with Zeppelins."
Mr.. Taft said that while the Allies
might feel a little discouraged be
cause we haven't sent our men over
there as quickly as they wanted
them" he felt sure everything would
turn out all right.
Remember that we are neither
Republicans nor Democrats now, we
are Americans. Remember that
cemocracies are arrayed against an
autocracy - William Hohenzollern
and his Potsdam gang. OF course,
there are Austria, Bulgaria and Tur-
key, but they are mere tools in this
fight. England and Italy have kings,
but the kings there have no more
power in directing the policies OF
their nations than William Jennings
Bryan and our two eX-Presidents
have in guiding the policies of this
country"
Mr.. Taft said that there are some
people here who clamor so much foI
peace that they will try to paralyze
the patriotic nerve by whispering
reasonable thoughts. In referring
to the Senator LaFollette's opposi-
ton to the war the eX-President
said:
1T isn't proper to call a mar
names no matter what your opinion
of him may be-"
