SALTS F KIDNEYS
 OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
 iss irritating acids-Splendid -.s~ for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The hdneys filter this acid from tha blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and infame, causing burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread, the water passes sometimes with a scaldina sensation and is very profuse; again. there is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urinacion. While it is extremely annoying and some. times very painful, this is really one os the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad SaltS from your pharmacist and take table, spoonful in glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is source of irritation to the bladder and urinary or gans which then act normally again.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid irritation. lad Salts is splen- did for kidneys and causes no bad ef1ects whatever.
 Here you have . pleasant, eferveecent Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
 DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother's Old Favorite Recipe of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compound. ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients, at very little cost. Everybody usea this preparation now, because no ona can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as 1t does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound Is delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention os disease.

Half way down the lane CranstOn was hit Tn the darkness his voice could be heard. for the firing had mo- mentarily ceased.
 "They've got me, Soapy. Run for it.. I'll hold 'em back"
 "Hit bad. BiilY'
 "Tm all in. Vamos!"
 Stone turned to run, and for the first time saw that his retreat was cut off. As fast asshe could pump the lever his rifle began working again.
 The firing this time did not last more than five seconds. When the smoke cleared it was all over. Soapy lay op his back, shot through and through. Blackwell had taken advan- tage of the diversion to crawl through the strands of harbed wire and to dis appear in the chaparral. Bill had rolled over on his face.
 Dick was bending over Stone. He looked up at the approach of Curly and said just one word.
 Dead"
 Cullison had torn open Cranston's shirt and was examining his wounds.
 "No use, Luck. I've got aplenty, You sure fooled us though. Was it Sam gave us away"
 "No, Bill. Curly overheard Soapy and Blackwell at Chalkeye's place. Sam stood pat, though you were plan- ming to murder him." "I wasn't iF on that, Luck-didn't know thing about it till after the boy was shot. I wouldn't a-stoOd for It."
 .'He wasn't shot. Curly saved him | He had to give you away to do It." Good enough. Serves Soapy right | for double crossing Sam. Take care of that kid, Luck. He's all right yet. . His eye fell on Flandrau. "YQg're a i game sport, son. You beat us all. No hard feelings"
 Sorry 1t had to be this way, Bill" The dying man was already gray te the lips, but his nerve did not falter "It had to come some time. And fl was Luck ought to have done 1t, too He waved aside Sweeney. who was holding flask to his lips. What's the use? I've got mine. Say, there's something else, boys.

Curly was not in it. l A quarter of an hour later he died He had lied to save from tie peniten tiary the lad who had brought abou his death. Curly knew why he hat done it-because he felt himself tt blame for the affair. Maybe Bad Bill had been desperado, miscreant ac cording to the usual standard, bu when 1t came to dying he knew how t go better than many respectable citi zen. Curly stole off into the darkness so that the boys would not see hin play the baby.

Don't believe word of 1t. Cuiison exploded.
 Seeing is believing" the sheepman murmured. He was enjoying greatly the discontinue of his foe.
 Makes likely fairy tale. What for would you keep the money and not turn it back?"
 That's an easy one, Luck. He wanted to throw the burden of the robbery on you," Bucky explained
 Well, I've got to be shown"
 In the morning he was shown. Shaw confirmed exactly what Fendrick had said. He produced sealed envelope. Within this was a sheet of paper, upon which were written two lines:
 Box 2143 is to be opened only by Sheriff Bolt or Lieutenant Bucky O'Connor of the Rangers, and before
 "CASS FENDRICK." From the safety-deposit vault Bucky drew a large package wrapped in yell low paper. He cut the string, tore away the covering and disclosed a leather satchel. Perry Hawley, the local manager of the Western & South ern Express company, fitted to this key and took out a sealed bundle. This he ripped open before them all. Inside was found the sum of twenty thousand dollars in crisp new bills.

'hal S"apy Stone had made his ar engagements differently.
 lack and his riders took their blan- kels and their traps down to Tin Cup artorl;he to agreement while Davis, Malnnry and Flandrau became very frienily with Sam. The boy. younger 'l,an any of them, was fattered that three of the best known riders in the territory should make so much of him.
 Young tullison had stopped drink ing. but he could not keep his nerves from jumping. His companions watched him so closely that he was never out of the sight of at least one of them. Soapy had decreed the boys death by treachery. but his friends we're determined to save him and to end forever the reign of Stone as a bad man.
 It was one day when the four young ccwpunchers were sitting together in Curly's room playing poker that spe- cial delivery letter came to Sam. The others. to cover their excitement. start ed an argument. Presently Sam spoke as indifferently as he could.
 "Got the offer of job down the line. Think I'll run down tonight as far as Casa Grande and see what's do- ing"
 This was about two o'clock in the afternoon. The game dragged on for a while, but nobody took any interes, in it. Sam had to get ready for the anxious to get out and give him a chance. So presently Dick threw down his cards.
 i've had enough poker for one ses sion. Me. Pm going to drift out and see what's moving in town"
 'Think I'll snooze for a while," Sam said, stretching sleepily.
 The others trooped out and left him the three watched to see that Sam did not leave without being observed. He did not appear, and about six o'clock Curly went back to his room.
 'Time to grub." he sang out.
 That's right" Sam agreed.
 They went to the New Orleans Hash House and presently Davis and Ma loney also arrived. The party ordered a good dinner and took plenty of time to eat it. Sam was obviously nervous. but eager to cover his uneasiness un' der show of good spirits.
 Curly finished eating just as Sam's second cup of coffee came. Flandrau. who had purposely chosen a seat in the corner where he was hemmed in by the chairs of the others, began to feel in his vest pockets.
 "Darned if I've got cigar. Sam. you're young and nimble. Go buy me one at the counter"
 Sure" Cullison was away on the instant.
 Curly's hand came out of his pocket. In it was paper. Quickly he shook the contents of the paper into the steaming cup of coffee and stirred the liquid with spoon.
 Sam brought back the cigar and drank his coffee. Without any unnec- essary delay they returned to his room. When the party reached the room the boy was getting drowsy. He rubbed his eyes, yawned and slumped down. His lids wavered. shut. jerked open again, and closed slowly.
 "Wake me up, Curly-time for train" And with that he was sound asleep.
 They took off his boots and settled

 Curly unwound a rope from one of the saddles and dropped loop round the neck of his prisoner. The two men mounted and rode out of the draw. the outlaw leading the other two horses As soon as they reached the bluff above Flandrau outlined the next step in the program.
 "We'll stay here in the tornilla and see what happens, my friend, Unless you've a fancy to get lead poisoning keep still"
 "Who in Mexico are you?" the cap tured man asked.

 The revolver rim pressed a little harder against the bridge of the horse wrangler's nose, iA' "He ain't here." Blackwell called back to his accomplices.
 That brought Stone on the run. "You condemned idiot. he must be there. Ain't he had two hours to get here since he left Tin CupT | They shouted themselves hoarse. They wandered up and down in a vain search. All the time Curly and his l prisoner sat in the brush and scarcely batted an eye.
 At last Soapy gave up the hunt. The engine and the express car were sent back to join the rest of the train and as soon as they were out of sight the robbers set out across country toward the Flatiron ranch.
 Curly guessed their intentions. They would rustic horses there and head fol the border. It was the only chance still left them.
 After they had gone Curly and his l prisoner returned to the road and se out toward Tin Cup. About mile aud a half up the line they met Culli son and his riders on the way down Maloney was with them. He had beer picked up at the station.
