folk brings the sheriff to think that
the famous outlaw, "Scarface," is
again at large.
The posse take to the trail again
after the gangsters. They trail them
to canyon where the Black Circle,
commanded by Hammer and Pinchers,
have pitched camp for the night.
There is short skirmish between the
members of the gang and the posse
but the former manage to make their
escape under the cover of darkness.
In the meantime the ranch boss and
his men, accompanied by DR.. Brutell
and Madeline, are searching for the
outlaws in another direction. They
pitch their camp for the night. Gath
cred around the fire and the lanterns
the Doctor and the ranch boss enter
tain the rest with tricks. The Doctor
displays some of his mage power and
the ranch boss shows off his shooting
skill.
Madeline brings forth some ginger
ale with patent tops. There is no
opener in the camp and DR.. Brutell
! solves the dilemma and incidentally
jars the ranch boss's pride in his
shooting skill by taking the bottles
and placing them up against a tree,
shooting the tops clean off them one
after another with a repeating rifle.
In the morning they break camp and
split the party, the women going on
together, while the men reconnoiter
the countryside in search for the out
laws.

der. During all this time is uncon-
scious body remains at repose on the
bed.
The evil spirit of the doctor is in
full possession of all the powers of the
normal Brutell and even more. He
6ecures a horse and outfit and rides
away into the mountains. By means
of his double x-ray" breast plate
he sends out call to the members
of the Black Circle who are hidden
in the mountain fastness. They gath
er and hold an eerie session and the
evil Brutell instructs them to meet
him on Bald Mountain.
Down in the village in the valley
the sheriff and his men pause for
breakfast before starting out on a
fresh hunt for the Black Circle gang
and the evil doctor makes his way to
the village and while the sheriff is
busy at his meal he makes away with
the entire outfit of horses. Shouting
his defiance and with a rare exhibi-
ton of horsemanship he gallops away
with the stolen animals trailing on
behind. Having overheard the plans
of the sheriff and his men before he
raided the horses, the evil Brutell
plans to outwit him and even trap
them.
The sheriff and his men learn what
has happened and rush out of the ho-
tel and through the village streets
after the flying desperate. They
empty their guns after him with no
effect. He takes the horses up into
the mountains and gives them to the
gangsters, instructing them to escape
and arrange another rendezvous.
With murder in his heart he rides
back to the Stanton ranch house. Just
as he reaches the corral his bad mood
threatens to change and he has diff
ficulty in getting to his room in the
house. The complete change from
bad to good takes place and the spirit

er are reunited. In the morning Doc
tor Brutell wakes up in his normal
mood.
But on his way back to the ranch
house-before the change took place
the evil Brutell arranged a trap fol
the sheriff and his posse. He informs
the people of little town, through
which he knows the sheriff and hi;
men will pass, that band of outlaws
are on their way to raid the town. In
consequence the sheriff and his party

"lNDlAN> SUMMER" NOT A MYTH
Pioneer Settlers Heard the Expression
With Thrill of Apprehension
Easy to Understand.

Indian summer" owes it's name not
to any poetic fancy, but to the pain
full experiences Of early frontier Set
Element. During the long-continued
Indian wars the settlers enjoyed no
peace except during the winter, when,
owing to the severity Of the weather,
the Indians were unable to make any
raids. The coming Of winter was
therefore hailed with delight by the
backwoodsmen, who until then had
been cooped up in their little uncom-
Portable forts. They removed to their
cabins on the farms with the exhil-
aration Of prisoners released from con-
fnement. Sometimes, however, it hap
pened that, after the apparent begin
ming Of winter, the weather became
warm again. This was the "1ndian
summer" because it afforded the In
dams another opportunity of visiting
the settlements with their destructive
warfare. In his "Notes on the Set
Element and Indian Wars Of the West
ern Parts Of Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania," published in 1924, the Rev. J.
Doddridge remarks that in his own
day a backwoodsman seldom heard
the expression Indian summer" with
out feeling a chill Of horror, because
it brought to his mind the painful rec
objection Of it's original sense.

German Taxicabs a Torment.

Present-day German taxicabs were
not primarily designed to stimulate
the liver; but after hitting a few rough
spots one is left with a distinct i'm
preston that they exist solely to shake
up the internal organs, writes Ken
meth l.. Roberts in the Saturday Eve
ming Post.
AS for their meters, they can be read
properly only with the assistance of
slide rule and a table of logarithms.
Each meter possesses seven clocks
one for the passenger, one for extra
passengers, one for luggage, one for
waiting, one for the luxury tax, one
for the tax on capital and one for good
luck. All the clocks work busily all
the time-even the one for waiting.
This is probably because the passen-
ger, due to the hard tires, is either
waiting to bounce up or to fall back
after a bump during the entire ride.
After determining the amount regis:
tered by each clock at the end Of q
ride, these sums are added together
and multiplied by four.

PROPER Time TO ADVERTISE
Fact Should Be Recognized TIL at
Period Of Siackness Demands
Increase of Publicity.

The best time to advertise and to
use every other means of bringing
in orders is when orders are most
needed. Yet quite few people, in
Guiding some very large concerns, are
canceling their advertising and cut
ting down other selling expenses at
the very time they want orders more
than they have needed them in several
years. Any old concern could sell it's
product while the boom was roaring
along like a prairie fire and people
were spending money with thought
less abandon. A change has come.
It is beginning to take craftsmanship
to sell many lines of goods. Yet many
concerns are dismissing their best
statesmen, the super-salesman, adver-
Using. Not all are, however. Those
longest and best acquainted with ad-
vertising and it's power are not drop.
ping it now that they have increased
need for it. Recent converts to ad-
vertfsing should take a leaf out Of
their older and wiser competitors

New Zealand Will Use# Gold Dredos
|ss, Long II / Successful Operation s
Throua hout Alaska. ..=.;;ss@ 4.

An example Of the far-reaching &C,
stivities of American industry Is to be
!: found IA 4 gold dredge that has been
designed and constructed In this coun.
iry for the purpose of operating in
New Zealand gold fields. This dredge,
says the Electrical Review, is built
BY q New York company and is along
the type. Of dredge constructed for
operations In Alaskan fields. Power
for dredging, pumping and shifting po-
sition IS furnished by electric motors,
while twelve men working foxf to a
shift constitute the crew. T..
The general method Of dredging is
as follows: The digging ladder car
rying the buckets is lowered and dirt
is scooped up. This dirt is dropped
on the conveyor belt and is carried
to the screen. Here it. is screened
and washed, and the refuse is dropped
to the stacker and deposited. The
pay dirt that remains is further
wal shed on gold tables or laundries,
and then passed to a gold box, where
the gold is recovered. Remaining de-
posts in this gold box are treated
about once a week with mercury, so
that all the gold is obtained either in
nugget or in the form Of an amalgam.

The Clear Thinker.

They say Of man, HE is a clear
thinker" A clear thinker is one who
is honest with himself. Scoring ev-
erything but the truth, he is able to
arrive at correct and definite conclu-
sions because his mental vision is un-
INSTRUCTED. He is able to accomplish
things because he thinks in straight
line.
Most of US say certain things cannot
be done because the doing Of them en-
tails some little sacrifice or hardships
on our part. We know in our hearts
that these things can be done, yet we
say mo" because we are not honest
with ourselves-because we refuse to
think clearly.
No one can achieve success unless
he be clear thinker; that is why so
many of US start out in life with great
promise and later find ourselves
shunted into the siding Of mediocrity,
or the junk yard Of failure because
we have allowed our minds to become
encrusted with barnacles.-From
Franklin's Key.

that the picture was disposed Of with

it did not possess sufficient funds to
purchase it, and thereupon the paint
ing passed into the hands Of a Ma
