eye and interest. The tlly was little

by the roadside.

fall and pick himself up and run as
if his life depended on it. l saw the
stranger draw his pistol. A gun went
off in the edge of the bushes close by.
The flash of fire from its muzzle
leaped at the stranger. The horses
reared and plunged and mine threw
me in a clump of small peoples by the
roadside and dashed down the hill.
My fall on the stony siding had
stunned me and lay for three or four
seconds, as nearly as can estimate it,
in strange and peaceful dream. Why

CHAPTER VII.
MY Third Peril.


"Mr. Purvis" took his pay In salts
and stayed with us until my first great
adventure cut him off. 1t came one
July day when l was In my sixteenth
year. He behaved badly, and /, as any
normal boy would have done who had
had my schooling in the candle light.
We had kept Grimshaw from our door
by paying interest and the sum of $50
on the principal. 1t had been hard
work to live comfortably and carry the
burden of debt. Again Grimshaw had
begun to press US. My uncle wanted
to get his paper and learn, If possible,
when the senator was expected In
Canton.
SO he gave me permission to ride
with Purvis to the post 0ffice-a dis
lance of three miles-tO get the mail.
Purvis rode in our only saddle and l
bareback, on handsome white FLY

my whisted call would bring her gal!

"Mr. Purvis" was not an experienced

she liked a free head when we took

CHAPTER vi.
MY Second Peril.


One day Mr., Grimshaw came out
In tie field to see my uncle. They
walked away to the shade Of tree
while the bired man and ! went on
with the hoeing. l could hear the
harsh voice Of the money-lender
speaking in loud and angry tones and
presently he went away.
"What's the rip?' l asked as my
uncle returned looking very sober
I'VE won't talk about it now," he
answered.
In the candle-light Of the evening
Uncle Peabody said:
"GrimShaw has demanded his mort
gage money an he wants il in gold
coin. Well have to git it some way,
! dunno how"
"Wy of all thingsw my aunt ex-
claimed. How are we goin' to git
all that mOney-these hard times?-
ayes I'd like to know
"Well, l can't tell ye," said Uncle
Peabody. 81 guess he can't forgive
US for savin Rodney Barnes"
"What did he say?" asked.
"Why he says we hadn't no busi-
ness to hire a man to help us. He
says you an me ought to do all the
work here. He thinks l ought to took
you out O school long ago
II can stay out O. school and keep

Clogged.

Mothers can rest easy after giving
California Syrup of Figs" because in a
few hours all the clogged-up waste, sour
bile and fermenting food gently moves
out of the bowels, and you have a well,
playful child again. Children simply will
not take the time from play to empty
their bowels, and they become tightly
packed, liver gets sluggish and stomach
disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see if
tongue is coated, then give this delicious
fruit laxative Children love it. and
it cannot cause injury. No difference
what ails your little one--if full of cold,
or sore throat, diarrhpa, stomach
ache, bad breath, remember, a gentle "in-
side cleansing" should always be the
first treatment given Full directions
for babies, children of all ages and
grown-ups, are printed on each bottle.
Beware Of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask
your druggist for a bottle of California
Syrup of Figs" then look carefully and
see that it is made by the California
Fig Syrup Company" We make no
smaller size. Hand back with contempt
any other fig syrup.-Adv.

INFLUENZA AGAIN IS
A SERIOUS MENACE
Epidemic Comes Back and Victims
Number Thousands
You Can't Be Too Careful If YouHave Cold
Treat 1t Promptly With Father Johns Medicine

The public should realize the truth con-
corning the grip epidemic 1t is again
raging violently, and the number of cases
reported shows that its victims number
thousands. We have lost more people
through this disease than during the
struggle with Germany
While we drove it back for time, it
has returned with full vigor and in some
places is even worse than during the fall.
If you become weak or run down, you
are in danger from the germ which is ev-
erywhere present. If you catch cold your
danger is even greater, because colds
quickly develop into grip or pneumonia.
In this time of danger, Father Johns
Medicine should be kept on hand in every
home The pure food ingredients of this
old fashioned medicine build new strength
TO fight off the disease. Ii is the logical
safe remedy for coldsi its soothing ele.
