CHAPTER X-Continued.
o--

A little after work time that day, Bill Dale started alone on the way of the narrow gauge railroad for the sid Ing He wished to see for himself just what the damage had been 10 the trestie, and he hoped to meet Golf, or Ball. or Torrey, and learn some thing that would be ts hi. advantage.
 Before he had covered two miles, he had seen two of the enemy skulking through the woods, and he recognized them for Torreys from Jerusalem Cove and Iatton's Hell; he knew it by their very swarthy skin, their high cheekboneS and their coarse black hair, the outcroppinGs of the Cherokee Indian blood in them. They looked cunning and wicked. Dale lOosened in Its holster the bi. revolver that Major Bradley had persuaded him toe carry for his own protection. John Moreland had taught him how to use firearms
 At point near where the little stream that flowed past the Halfway switch emptied into Doe river, where
 
 tie left, Dale halted abruptly. He had seen man dart behind scrubby oak some thirty yards ahead of him: quite naturally, he concluded that the fel- low meant to wsylay him, and he. too stepped behind a tree. big hemlock
 A silent minute went by. Then Dale put his hat out on one side of the tree and peeped from the other side; It was an old trick that Grandpap More land had told him about. A rifle cracked promptly and sharply. and a burethole appeared in the rim of his hat
 Following 1t. there came the coarse bass voice of Black Adam Ball, the mountaineer Goliath;
 You caint fool me. jest shot to put hole in yore new hat and to show ye 'at I sin't no bad shot You ealn't hit my hat"
 Dale's temper. the temper that had always been so hard ts keep under control, rose quickly He tried 10 rea- son with himself. and couldn't; his passion mastered him. He snatched the big revolver from It's helster and cooked 1t. With .. steady hand as ever held a weapon trained, he began to take aim at Balls slouch hat. the half of which was In plain view at one side of the scrubby oak.
 "I fooled you once, hack there in the middle of the river" he cried hot ly. and now I'm going to fool you again !''
 There was in his voice that old, old primitive rage, which frightened him, and puzzled him too, in his better mo ments
 He let d0wa the head until lt was barely visible in the notch, and eased of the trigger The revolver roared and spat forth tiny tongue of flame and little cloud of white smoke Ball sprang erect, wheeled and fell crash. ing to the leaves!
 Dale dropped his weapon He went as white as death. and his two hands ciutched uncertainty at his throat. He was murderer! No, he wasn't-his bullet had gone wild; 1t had struck Sails head OF the other side of the tree, by accident. But how could he prove that |. had been an accident: Would any jury believe him?

A young man who practiced medicine
 n Pennsylvania became famous and was called in consultation in mapy towns and cities because of hxs sue cess in the treatment of disease. This was Dr. Pierce who finally made up his mind to place some of his medi- Cines before the public, and moving to Buffalo. N. Y,, put up what he called his "Favorite Prescription" and placed 1t with the druggists in every state.
 Dr. Pterce's Favorite Prescription has long been recognized as tonic for dis eases peculiar to womankind. After sui. fering pain, feeling nervous dizzy, weak and dragged-down by weaknesses ot her sex--a woman is quickly restored 10 health by its use. Thousands of women testify that Dr. Pierce's Favor itc Prescription has entirely erndicated their distressing ailments
 More recently that wonderful d!scov- cry of Dr. Pierce'a. called An-uric (for kidneys and hackache). has been sue cessfully used by many thousands who write Dr. Pierce of the benefits re- ceived--thst their backache. rhcuma tism. and other symptoms of uric acid deposits in joints or mnscles have been completely cosQuered hy its use.
