fingers those leering lips before him.
Harold was lost in insidious speeula

beauty, the grace and lithenessx of her
form, the holy miracle of her kisses.
Opposite him sat his squaw -

"Not as long as you're decent.
That's for yeu to settle for yourself

"Y6u didn't think / was going to

he turned once more to Sindy. And

Anything else?" Harold asked
"Yes, shave! And when you battle,

strange at first, but you'll get used

An hour wrought a profound and
amazing change in the mans APP
pearanee. He had consicentiously
gone to work to cleanse himself, and
he had succeeded. His hair, dull be-
fore, was glossy dark brown now,
ne had shaved off the matted growth
about his lips, leaving only small
meat mustache; his hair was trimmed
and carefully parted. The mans
skin had also resumed it's natural
shade.

Harold was really a rather handsome
man.

BEGIN HERE TODAY.

Bill Bronson undertakes to lead
Virginia fremont to her fiance, Har-
rold Lounsbury, who vanished in the
Clearwater of northern Canada six
Iyears previously. Disaster parts
them from her fiance's uncle, Kenly
Lounsbury, and the cook, Vosper;
who complete the party. Bill and
Virginia are showed in in one of his
trapping cabins Bill presses a
double quest, for the lost mine of
his murdered father and for Harold.
He finds the latter, who has turned
'squaw man.
GO ON WITH THE STORY.
Bill realized at once that this new
development did not in the least af-
feet his own duty. His job had been
to find Harold and return him to
Virginia. This smirch in Harold S
life was question for the two to
settle between them.
| 1t did, however, complicate the
work of regeneration. Bill had
known squaw men before, and few
Of them had ever regenerated.
| Harold shrugged once more. "And
is it anybody's business but my
own" he asked.
| ct hadn't ought to be, but it isl
was the answer Its my business,
and somebody else's, too" He turned
to the woman. You're Joe Robin

| The Indian looked up, nodded, then
went to her work.
Then you left Buckshot Dan--to

| Harold turned to her with snaci

talked enough, You can go"
| 1--WE got one question, Lounsbury
i do you think, by any chance
you've got any manhood left? Dc
you think you're rotten clear
through"
Harold leaped then, savage as a
wolf, and instantly his rifle swung
in his arms. Bills form, impassive
before, seemed simply to waken with
life. Seemingly with one motion he
wrenched the gun from the mans
nand and sent him spinning against
the wall.
Before you start anything more
hear what. I've got to offer you" His
voice lowered, and the words came
rather painfully. "Its your one
chance, Lounsbury-to come back
Virginia fremont has come into the
North, looking for you. She's at my
lcamp. She wants to take you back
with her"
Lounsbury's breath caught with a
strange, sobbing sound. "Virginia-
lup here?" he cried "Does she know
| about--this--" He indicated the
cabin interior, and all it meant, with
one sweep of his arm.
"Of course not. How could she

matter for you and she to decide.

my God! To the states?"
''0f course"
For the instant the black wrath
had left his face, and his thought
swung backward to his own youth
to the days he had known Virginia
in far-off city. He was more than
little awed at this manifestation of
her love.
But quickly the expression of his
face changed, and Bill couldn't have
, explained the wave of revulsion that
surged through him. He only knew

EDITORIAL.
COOP FOR THE COUNCIL

THE city council is to be congrat-
ulated For taking a more sympa-
thetic attitude this year year toward
the public library than in recent years
and providing sin the budget sum
sufficient to permit it to begin a
comeback. The sum is meager, it
must be admitted, and the library
has been starved so long that it is in
an extremely emaeiated condition,
with great needs. The library board,
however, is reasonable and fully con-
scious of the necessity of the city re-
dueing its debts and putting its house
in order, and it recognizes the prog
ress that is being made by the pres
emit administration in this direction
as result Of rigid program of
economy. However, the library is an
institution adequate support of which
should never be a subject of debate
or question; it should be as much
a matter of primary consideration
as our public schools, for it belongs
in the same class.
The city is under solemn obliga-
ton to provide $4,000 yearly for the
maintenance of the library. That
amount would be small enough, in
deed, but it would be god-send COM
pared with what has been the fortune
of the institution. Let US hope that
with the more liberal allowance made
this year, and the exhibition of re
newed sympathy and interest, the in
stitution~ may become so increasingly
useful during the year that more
money may be granted next year and
in couple of years the full obliga-
ton of the city toward it met.

A. H. Gray, chairman Of the re-
organization committee of the Amerl-
can Bank and Trust company, made
public Thursday a letter received from
L. Q. SHELTON, state superintendent OF
banks, in which Mr.. Shelton earnestly
advises all depositors Of the bank to
give their support to the reorganiza-
ton plans. The letter contains the
statement which Mr.. Shelton promised
to issue several days ago, when ne
met in Great Falls with the stock
holders of the bank. and which will be
mailed to all stockholders. !.
THE department refuses to believe
says the statement, that the stock
holders and depositors of this unfor-
tunate institution will hesitate for a
moment to do their part toward the re-
Mobilization and reopening of the in
stitution. You are, therefore, most
earnestly urged to sign the extension
agreements which, of course, will be
Void if the bank does not reopen and
resume business"
Will Be Able to Release Collateral
"Since Mr.. Shelton laid down as one
of the requirements for the reopening
of the bank" said Mr.. Gray, that the
stockholders must pay in to the bank.
in the event of reopening, their full
statutory liability of 500 per share,
there is now no reason why all depos-
itors should not Immediately sign up
their deposits. With this amount paid
into the bank in cash, it will make it
possible to take care of priority claims
and to release collateral held in the
east. but no part Of this money would
be available at this time to pay the
depositor who has not signed up his
deposit"

is as follows:

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is in Preserving Health and Beauty

Nearly everybody knows that char { coal Is the safest and most effioien nt disinfectant and purifier In nature, but few realize its value when taken into the human syst. m for the same cleansing purpose.
 Charcoal is a remedy that the more you take of 1t the better; 1t is not a drug at all. but simply absorbs the gases and impurities always present in the stomach and intestines and car- ries them out of the system.
 Charcoal sweetens the breath after smoking, and after eating onions anu other odorous vegetables.
 Charcoal effectually clears and im- proves the complexion, it whitens the teeth and further acts as natural and eminently safe cathartic.
 It absorbs the injurious gases which collect in the stomach and bowels; it disinfects the mouth and throat from the poison of catarrh.
 All druggists sell charcoal in one form or aLother, but probably the best charcoal and the most for the money is in Stuart's Charcoal Log enCes; they are composed of the fin- est powdered Willow charcoal in tab let form or rather in the form of large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char coal being sweetened to be smooth and palatable. a
 The daily use of these lozenges will soon tell in a much improved condi- < tio~ of the general health, better ,complexic n, sw ter breath and purer blood. and the beauty of 1t Is, that no possible harm can result from their continued use, but on the contrary. great benefit.
 Many physicians advise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to patients suffer- ing from gas in stomach and bowels, and to clear the complexion and pur- fly the breath. mouth and throat. Charcoal Is also believed to greatly benefit the yer. These lozenges cost but thirty cents box at drug stores, and you get more and better charcoal tn Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges than in any of the ordinary charcoal tablets. Adv.
