AN IMPORTANT
FACTOR IN CUTTING
SHOE EXPENSE

MANY months of comfort at little
expense is the way Charles A. Pear
son of San Diego, California. sums up
his experience with Ne0lin Soles. MIR.
Pearson had two pairs of shoes re-
soled with Ne0lin SoIes, and after
wearing them for twenty months
writes II win have to get new shoes
sometime. but so far as the soles are
concerned, that time seems as far
distant as when they were new"
This is typical of the experience
millions are having with Ne6lin Soles.
Created by Science to be durable,
flexible and waterproof. these soles
are an important factor in cutting
shoe expense. You can get them on
new shoes for the whole family, and
for residing. They are made by The

" Again Bill King laughed.
By Annette Angert

Again Bill King laughed.
 You wait says Robert. I'll maks you laugh out O the other side O your mouth, before I'm done with you
 Just how?' inquiries Bill.
 ''The boy tears the wranpin' from one O the demijohns, and points to t.
 You're goin' to be left kere to die in sight o that water says he, en- phatic-like.
 Once more Bill King laughs.
 "'Yes,' says Robert, because I'm Thornton Selford's brother And the fickerin' light O the little brushwood fire showed his jaw muscles to be standin' out plain and jerllin' when he'd said it.
 How much money have you got, kid?' asks the bad man.
 Robert Selford seems surprised at the question. Before he thinks, he an- swers: About two hundred, l guess. Why?'
 That's enough money says Bill King, to take two people to New York. I'd like very much to go back with you when you go.'
 "'You ain't short on nerve all right replies the boy.
 "'Of course not smiles King Well, how about twill you take me with your
 ." Not much!' clips the kid.
 When you hear what I'm gOin' to tell you says the man we called King Bill of the Catalinas, you will
 Robert stares his unbelief. King, settles himself back against the wall of stone.
 "'Kid, haven't always been a bad egg. I used to live back East. I come out here to hunt for gold, and in an-l ,f couldn't find enough gold to keep & alive, and I went to gamblin' to make' out. I went from bad to worse. and when I tried to reform I seen that I'd done went too far. T.
 "'Cut that out!' roars the boy. Save your breath! You can't work on my sympathies by anything like that. You killed Thornton Selford. and you've got to pay for it
 Bill Kings eyes wrinkles under, their bloody brows. He smiles a faint smile, and goes on with his story:
 Then I decided that I'd been an outlaw-that I'd go the rest O the way. The only drawback was that was afraid my people back East would find it out and be disgraced. So r.
 "I said cut that out!' bellows the boy. But the bad man only smiled and continued:
 "'So I rigged up a scheme to make my folks think had died here in thes West. l sent letter to my brother, which was supposed to have been found by a cowman, statin' that had gone down at the hands of an outlaw and addin' kid, that had clipped q notch out of each one O the bad mans ears before he got me. Fate sent Q notch out of each one of my ears by means of bullets beIore two months had passed! Little one, don't you know me now? But you never saw me with a beard; and then there's the years between-'

three big cheers for havin' the sand in his g1zzard to shoot seventeen times at King Bill of the Catalinas.
 "A few minutes later Robert Selford, as white as a ghost, climbed cown from the bar and went of to bed.
 That night after I'd hit the hay in my little shackhouse, I says to myself:
 Bill King has got a conscience yet. The only murder he's ever committed is still on his mind. He knowed Thornton Selford was an Fastener. When he seen Robert Selford, dressed in Eastern clothes, he knowed an avenger had come. And he was so upset about 1t that he didn't take into consideration, the fact that the aveng- CT was tenderfoot, and just a boy at that
 You'll see how near right was in my reasonin' after I get little far ther along with the tale.
 "The next mornin' while was wa terfn' my stock, Robert comes to me and says like he means it:
 "'I must have one O your hosses. Mir. Callahan
 Hosses?' says I, foolish-like.
 Yes,' says he-'and a couple of them things you carry water in
 'Canteens.A explains. But most of all you waFa real gum
 No he objects. As I've already told you. I've practiced with this lit tie fellow, and I'm used to it; can hit dinner-plate at fifteen yards with 1t, every crack
 "'Tbe only extra hoss I've got says, is calico pony that's so mean he's always been knowed by the name O. Pizen. If you think you can han dle him, he's at your disposal. Also the two canteens, and a blamed good saddle. But when you start, kid, tell me good-by; because I like you a whole devil of lot, and I don't be- lieve I'll ever set eyes on you alive again.
 Stuff! Stuff says he. Let's have the hoss. saddle, and canteens.
 "'All right says I. It's your funeral. Remember, kid, that Bill King ain't likely to run from you any more.'
 He mounted the hoss, with water and grub tied to his saddle, and rode straight toward the red-hot Catalinas, with all of Yellow Creek standin' in the main street and watchin' after him regretful-like
 What made you let the little fool have them 'coutrements, Webb? some body asked me.
 "'You go and ask the kid!' snaps
 No, Bill King won't run from him any more,' says Elversett, as he wipes the bar with an imaginary rag for i'm aginary spilled liquid. I've always heard as how the Lord sets a special angel to stand guard over fools. And I'm certainly in hopes it will turn out to be so this time.'
 That day passed, and another day come and passed. I had made my trips to the railroad in a deeply trou- bled state O mind. Just as I was un- hitchin' on the evenin' O the second day, in rides Old Man Oliver, of the Oliver & Ogden Ranch, the Linked-O; {; he comes straight to me and dis mounts.
 "'Web,' says he, you know that there calico we sold to you some time back. the one the boys called Pizen He come home a few hours ago, with a saddle on him, bridle, and water and grub tied to the saddle. I'd "a brought

him along with me, but he was little lame from a dog hole.'
 Wed better hunt him up, guess.' says Oliver. I'll start all the cowmen l can spare in the mornin'.'
 And I'll utilize my four stage bosses in the same way says I, whether the blasted old stagecoach runs tomorrow or not. I can easy find three good riders among the miners here
 Well, the two parties spent the next four days in huntin' over that barren, red-hot country lookin' for the boy. We didn't find even a sign of him. l was fully convinced that he had added one more bleachin' skele- ton to the desert We rode back with out ta1kin' any.
 When me and my three men rode into Yellow Creek, we seen Elversett hurryfn' to meet us.
 "'The boys back!' he yells, seemin' as glad as if Selford had been his own son. Bill King brought him in a few hours ago. Both of 'em was mighty near dead-the kid was, anyhow. The kid owes King his life. now, and I reckon it'll settle the account betwixt 'em, whatever it is.'
 ''I went up to the boys room. al though I was so dog tired that could hardly walk. Robert was lyin' flat O his back, starin' toward the roof, with his sunblistered fingers laced together across his chest. He didn't seem to know that I was anywhere near him until I stood over him and was speak in to him.
 "'Do you know who brought you in, son| says I.
 "'Do you think I ain't got no eyes?' he clips
 Ibid I mention your blasted eyes?' I snaps, for he'd Tiled me.
 "'Do you think I'll let that stand be- tween me and getting square for poor old Thornton's sake?' says he. And his blue eyes was shootin' fire at mine.
 Don't you think you'd reely ought to consider that Bill King saved your life?' I says.
 "'Do you think ought, MT. CaIla- hanP He seemed now a mite sorry that he'd been so shortspoken with me a minute before.
 "I sure do.' says I. He let you shoot at him seventeen times, without frin' back; and at one shot he could "a fixed you easy! He found you half dead, and brought you in at the risk of his own liberty. He could "a let you go on and die out there in that red hot hades, and had one enemy less. And death for lack O water is some death, kid, believe mel
 "'It reely must be bad to die like that says he, muslin; and I thought I had impressed him with my plea for future peace. He goes on, still mus in; I'll see if I can't arrange it.
 "Er, how's thatT I says, bendin' closer to him.
 Yes says he. I'll catch him asleep, knock him senseless, tie him up good and hard, and let him die with water before his very eyes. Because he killed my brother Thornton
 "'Good-by, kid says I. I'm goin' now, and I don't hope to see you again. Bill King won't fool with you any more, kid
 He smiles as he shakes hands with me, and mutters, You're a bloomin' old woman!'

too much. I see. But I've got to have a friend here. and it might as well be you as anybody else. Promise me on your word that you'll keep things to yourself until it's all over. and I'll tell you the rest
 My curiosity was well out O banks by now. I promised on my word of honor.
 The reason want to keep it a secret is.' he continues, because I want to kill Bill King myself If the fact that I'm after King gets up a stir. the law is likely to make a new effort to get King. I've got more against him than the law has. See? We'll, here's the rest. A cowman, a few months ago, found a skeleton on a desert, and close by it a small bottle with letter in it. The letter was to me. The cowman very kindly put it in an envelope and mailed it. Here's the letter. Read it.
 "'If you can drive a minute,' says I: and he takes over the lines in his pink-and-white haids.
 "The sheet O. paper was yellow and soiled. But I could make out in a clear, bold handwritin' in pencil this: " MT. Robert Selford,
 "'1441 Prayther St., New York Dear Brother:
 |" T am writing this in the hope that some merciful soul will find it and mail it to you. I am miles from any where, and within an hour I'll be gone A brute of an outlaw robbed me of all the gold I had found in eight months; and when I followed him out into the desert to try to recover it, he turned upon me, and we had a long fight He got me at last. Through the lung. But he didn't get me before I'd notched each ear for him with bullets. T tell you this because I want you to know that I went down like a Selford and like a man. And now, little brother, heaven bless you, and gOod-by.
 THORNTON SELFORD.'
 "'The cowman buried the skeleton says the boy, almost sobbin'. as handed him the faded letter and took the lines. He goes on: The cow mans name was Lute Ardmore; he works on the Crossed L Ranch
 "The Crossed l. is about two hun dred miles to the west of here,' says I.
 "I'll find Ardmore, and thank him, before I go back says he. You was mistaken in your idee that Bill King had no blood on his hands,"
 Its clear I says. Get him, son, if you can. But let me offer some good advice-you throw away that little popgun of yours into some kindly bunch O scrub. and get a real, man sized bun
 "'No. objects Robert Selford. You see, I've been practicing with this for a month, and I'm used to 1t. I can hit a dinnerplate at fifteen yards. every crack"
 "'Poor boy! you can do that says I, by takin' a good aim and holdin' the popgun in both hands. But Bill King, says l, can put six bullets into one bullet hole at fifteen yards. without aimin' at all.'
 "'Stuff! Stuff exclaims young Sel- ford not a bit convinced. He takes his little pistol from his coat pocket, and gives it a caress such as few things but the frstborn of woman ev- CT know. This boy says he, mighty proud, throws it's bullet sideways. and they'll put hole in a man big enough to hide.a dog in
