"Why, Bill" replied Littleford,
didn't ye never bounce a bullet often
a rock and make it go toward a man
ahind Of a tree?"
1t lasted hotly for two hours, but
the casualties were comparatively
few, because there was so much cover
available. From the beginning the
Balls and the Turner's had the worst
of it, which was due to uphill shoot
ing, white whisky, and lack of the
iron that makes real fighting men.
The cartridges Of those below were
giving out; they had fired too many
shots needlessly.
TITS about time to rush them," Dale
said to John Moreland, who had crept
up beside him.
"Jest give the word" Moreland
nodded.
A few minutes later, Bill Dale sent
the wings of his line down the noun
tainside, forming a half-circle Of his
force once more; then the whole line
rushed, surrounded the enemy and
called for a surrender.
But the Balls and their kinsmen
wouldn't give in yet. They left their
cover and started to run, found them
selves facing Morelands and Little
fords in every direction, dubbed their
rifles and fought. 1t was not true
courage that prompted them to offer
resistance thus: it was utter despera-
ton; they had never been givers Of
mercy, therefore they did not expect
mercy. Dale's men fOrebore to fire
upon them, which was at Dale's COM
mand, and met them with dubbed
rifles. The woodland rang with the
sound of wood and steel crashing
against wood and steel. Everywhere
there were groans and threats and
curses from the losing side, victorious
cries and further demands for a sur
render from the winners.
Bill Dale, ever lover Of fair COM
bat, threw down his repeater to grap-
pie with big North Carolinian whose
dubbed weapon had been knocked
from his hands. The two fell and
rolled down the mountainside, locked
in each others arms.
And then one of the Balls struck
Bill Dale across the head with the butt
Of his empty gun, and Bill Dale slack
ened his arms and lay as one dead.
He was lying under cover in hand
carved black walnut fourposter, and
1t was night, when he opened his eyes
again. Above him he saw the bearded
faces of Ben Littleford and John
Moreland, and they looked haggard
and anxious in the oil lamps yellow
light. Suddenly Moreland spoke:
"Dead-nothin' jubilantly. Look,
Ben; he's done come tol Ye couldn't
put him In a cannon and shoot him
ag'inst a cliff and kill him, Ben!
hope ye're a-feelin' all right, Bill,
shore"

CHAPTER XIX.
A Perfect Gross.

On the floor of the richly-furnished
window, Miss Elizabeth Littleford sat
reading by the fast fading light of an
early March afternoon. Somehow she
liked to sit on the floor, and always she
liked to read; for one thing, books
helped her to forget that she was
lonely.
There were footsteps behind her,
soft footsteps because of the thick vel
vet carpet; then low voice inquired:
aren't you afraid you will injure
your eyes, Elizabeth? Better have
light, hadn't you, dearT The old coal
king turned toward the switch on the
wall.
"No" she answered quickly. I'm
through reading for today, and l like
this twilight"
Her improvement in speech and In
manners had gone on at surprisingly
rapid rate. She rarely spoke with any
but the simplest words, but she never
fell into anything more than bare SEM
blance of the old drawling hill dialect
unless it was while she was under the
stress of some strong emotion.
She closed the book and looked up
with eyes that were like the first stars
In a summer sky. Her beauty was
wonderful it was finer and sweeter
than it had ever been before.
Old Dale stood looking thOughtfully
into her upturned face. He was lit
tie pale, and he seemed troubled and
uneasy.
Elizabeth shook her head. you're

$50 You're Bill Dale. Well, D. MY
SOUL"
Dale realized everything quite clear
ly. He put hand to his head; there
was a wet cloth lying over the swollen
place.
"He shore give ye a buster of a
lick" drawled a voice that Dale in
stantly recognized, as that Of his wor-
shipper, By Heck. DANCED eff Gale
Moreland didn't might nigh 1t beat
him to death, Bill"
Many men crowded to the bedside
and smiled at him, and he smiled back
at them. Soon he asked:
"Did you capture the outfitT
"Every burned one Of 'em," answered
John Moreland. "They're all shet up
tight In the downstairs o. the Office
buildin', onder gyard. The amt but
one of 'em plumb teetotally dead, TO-
a wonder; but the's whole passel Of
'em hurt. I've done sent Luke to town
on hossback, after doctor fo' you
and Saul and Little Tom; and he can

reckon, eff you think it's best. What're
we a-ROin' to do with them fellers. Bill 2"

HAVE UNIQUE RECORD
Iowa Pioneers Live IS Years in
Same Spot.
Couple Married Three Quarters Of a
Century Bought Their Farm for
$160 In 1s45.

Mount Zion, Ia.-Seventy.five years
ago Daniel Reneker brought Mary, his
bride of few days, to Iowa from
Ohio. Today they still are living on
the original homestead they estab-
ushed in the wild West" in 1845.
Reneker will be ninety years Of age
February a end bis wife is ninety
seven. Their marriage record and the
number Of years spent on the same
homestead probably can be equaled by
few couples.
The couple attribute their long years
Of life to the fact that they are God
fearing and believe in simple life and
simple joys.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reneker's married life
Of Is years, in the eyes Of mOdern-day
folks, contains few thrills. It has
been mostly hard work.
Reneker, when young man, left his
home in Ohio to 60 West to see the
country: He returned in short time
to get his Mary. Their honeymoon was
spent floating down the Ohio river to
the Mississippi on small boat. On
landing at the Mississippi the couple
headed north for the cabin Reneker
had previously erected in the forest
wilderness of Iowa, near the present
site of Mount Zion. There they went
and there they are today.
The early years were spent In clear
ing the 100 acres Of timber Reneker
had purchased at 81 an acre. Supplies
were brought from a trading post As
miles away. Ground on their tract was
broken with the aid of oxen..
Five children were born to the Rene
kers. Four Of them still survive. All
, are boys. The eldest Is Jacob, aged
| seventy-twO, and the youngest is DR.
George w. Reneker, aged ffty-two
The other two "bOys" are Joshua and
Dallas Reneker. With the exception
Of DR.. George, all the sons remained
near the old homestead. DR.. George
Reneker left home at the age of
twelve. Today he is a resident OF
Falls City, Neb., and is the state rep
resentative from the First Nebraska
district.
The present home Of the Renekers
was built In 1861 near the site Of the
original log cabin.
| The couple have taken few trips
away from their home. They have
made several trips to Falls City, Neb.
to visit their "boy," DR.. George
and once went back to visit childhood
scenes In Ohio.

NATURE PROVIDES THE IN.
GRADIENTS.
Argo-Phosphate, the New Herba!
Remedy, Now Endorsed BY Local
People.

If the digestive organs are not
properly performing the work which
nature has assigned to them, then
nutrition, which is absolutely essent-
lal to the recovery of other diseased
parts, will be lacking and there can
be no permanent relief. When bodily
nutrition is normal, the stomach di,
gests the food, the blood absorbs and
carries the nourishment to the differ
ent parts of the body, causing the
various organs to properly perform
their functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in
the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate,
the new herbal stomach remedy,
which is now being introduced here.
It is purely vegetable and its vitaliz-
ing, corrective and reconstructive
qualities are so pronounced that ben
eficial results are noticed from the
first day. That this is true, it is only
necessary to listen to the statements
made daily by local people who have
given Argo-Phosphate fair trial and
have been benefited thereby.

JUST WONDERFUL"
SAYS MISS O'HARA
MEMPHIS WOMAN TEsTIFIEs TO
BENEFICIAL RESULTS FROM
TAKING TANLAC.

So many people throughout the
United States and Canada have testi-
fled to having used Tanlac with such
splendid results following influenza,
grippe, operation, typhoid and pneu-
monia, and other troubles which bring
on a rundown condition, that it has
become universally recognized as one
of the most powerful reconstructive
tonics O. The The present age.
Another striking statement in con-
nection with this fact was made by
Miss Mildred O'Hara, of 926 Del
aware St., Memphis, Tenn.

day." "said Miss O'Hara," than I have
in ten years and / am glad to make a
statement that may cause others who
are needing something to build them
up to learn about Tanlac.

back. My health was bad for long
time, even before the operation, and
y '''e+ seemed to be gradually going
from bad to worse.
"I just think it is the most Won
derful thing I ever heard of that
three bottles of Tanlac should make
me feel so fine after I had suffered
so long. 1t has given me new life,
strength and energy that makes liv-
ing a pleasure. I used to have con-
tant headaches, but now never have

tie Falls high school, was sitting at

them on fire.
Other pupils and the teacher jumped
TO the rescue and Pedro's sweater was
jerked off. the fire beat out and tn.
small boy returned to his seat. A con-
siderable hole was burned through Pc
drO's clothes and he was not hurt,
though the fire extinguishers shook
him up considerably.

Cause Of Earthquakes.

Modern geological science holds that
earthquakes are due to "faulting."
"Faults" are breaks In the strata OF
the earth's surface. the broken edges
slipping past each other so that the
same rock Is found at different levels
on opposite sides Of the fault. These
breaks create weak places in the
earth's crust, and from time to time
more slipping occurs. When this hap
pens, an earthquake OF greater or Less
Violence Is the result.

Education.

BY science constant appeal Is made
to individual reason. Its truths are
not accepted upon authority alone;
but all are at liberty TO test them;
nay, in many cases. the pupil is re-
CURED to think out his own conclu-
sions. Every step in scientific con-
clusion Is submitted to his judgment.
He is not asked to admit II without
seeing 1t to be true, And the trust
in his own powers thus produced il
further increased by the constancy
with which nature juslliies his con-
illusions when they are correctly
irawn. From all which there flows
hat independence which is a most
valuable element in character.-Her.
