Chnpter XVIII

BY the end of the first week in
June Cleland was in a highly ex-
cited state of mind in regard to
his infant novel, in which all the
principals were now on the edge
of catastrophe.
! Il don't know how they got
there" he said nervously to Bad
ger Sphinx, who had dropped in
TO suggest himself as illustrator
in cas- any magazine took the
story for serial publication.
Spink's clever, saturnine feat
ures remained non-committal. If
Cleland turned out to be a COM
ing man, he wished to participate
and benefit; if he proved a failure
he desired to remain pleasantly
aloof.
For the only thing in the world
that interested Badger Sphinx was
his own success in life; and he had
horror Of communicating it by
any professional association with
mediocrity or failure.
What's your story about?" he
inquired with that bluntness that
usually passed for the disinterest-
ed frankness of good comradeship.
"Oh, it's about a writer of
stories" said Cleland, vaguely.
Hes the hero?"
"If you'd call him that. What
is hero, Sphinx? l never saw
one in real life
Sphinx squinted. 1t was his way
of grinning.
"YYell. a literary hero" he said,
"is one who puts it over big on
his first novel. The country crazy
about his book, the girls go crazy
over him, publishers go painting
after him waving wads; editors
flag him with fluttering cheques.
That's one sort of hero, Cleland.
But he's a myth. The real thing
is a Charlie Chaplin, All the
same you'd better let your hero
make a hit with his novel. If you
don't, good night!'
Clelands features became troub-
led;
Il suppose his book ought 10
make hit to make my book pop
ular," he said. "But as a matter
of fact it doesn't. IN afraid the
character I've drawn is no hero.
He's like us all, Sphinx; he writes
a book; friends flatter; critics
slam; the public buys a number
of copies, and it's all over in a
few weeks. A punk hero-what? ?''
They remained silent for q
while, and Sphinx regarded him
from moment to NOM
ent out of his bright, bold eyes. |
And he came pretty close to the
that he was wasting |
time.

take a long breath-until he no
ticed a sound that made MN
him pause and listen for a rev
moments.
II was a yapping, growing noise
that caught Benny Badgers ear
noise that changed, while, he
listened, to a howl, and then sud-
denly ended as it had begun.
That call, coming as it did out
of the night, would have fnshten-
ed many people. Not knowing
lust what it was, they might have
thought il sounded like the cry
of a wolf. But Benny Badger
showed not the least sign of fear
on the contrary, he seemed al
most angry with himself because
he had stopped even for a few
moments to listen.
"Oh, fudge he said-or some
thing a good deal like that. ITS
nothing but a Coyote
And then he went to digging
faster than ever to make up for
lost time
He hadn't been working long af-
ter that when Mr., Coyotes call
made him back out of the hole
and listen once more.
"Shucks!" said Benny Badger
or something like that, anyhow
Hes coming this way"
Anyone could have seen that
Benny Badger was not pleased.
But he continued his work just the
same. And he made the dirt fly
even more furiously than before,
because he wanted to reach the
end of the ground squirrels tun-
mel before Mr.. Coyote arrived on

PROMINENT NEW N

John F. Hyatt of al
bany, N. Y, is ReEev-
ed of Severe Attack
Of Rheumatism o {
Many Years Stand
ing

II am now seventy two years
Old and am just getting rid of fif-
! teen year case of rheumatism that
had me so crippled up 1 could not
walk" said John F. Hyatt, 227
Pearl St, Albany, N. Y, in re-
! lating his remarkable experience
with Tanlac, recently. Mr.. Hyatt
was chairman of the committee in
charge of building the Albany
county court house and was four
times elected a member of the
county board of supervisors. At
present Mr.. Hyatt is assistant su-
perintendent of the Albany county
court house, with offices in the
| building.
! "I don't believe he continued.
anybody could have rheumatism
any worse than l did, and my case
was of such long standing l didn't
expect to ever get over it. I was
unable to walk except for a short
distance, supported with a cane,
and even then the pains struck me
every time / took a step. My legs,
hips and ankles hurt something
awful and my joints were stiff and
achey. I couldn't cross my leg
without having to lift up with my
hands, and to turn over in bed,
why, the pains nearly killed me.
my appetite was gone and the
sight of food nauseated me. My
stomach was out of order, and I
had a sluggish, heavy feeling all
the time. I was weak, off in weight
and discouraged so that it looked
like I might as well quit trying to
ever get well
Il had no idea Tanlac would re-
lieve my rheumatism when l began
taking it last spring. l took it be-
cause I saw where it would give
fellow an appetite. Well, sir, I
