 "Oh, that Is, matter between Miss Kelso and me-" MT. Davis spoke po- litely and with a smile.
 Not exactly-since I knew about it,' Samson answered.
 "I refuse to discuss her affairs with you" Davis declared.
 'I Suppose you mistrust me-" said Samson. "Well, I've offered to pay you and I'm going to make 1t plain to them that they don't have to worry any more about the money you loaned them" a~~..
 "Very well, I bid you good morn ing"
 Don't be in a hurry" Samson an- swered. "I have a note of five thou sand dollars against you. It is in- dorsed to me by Henry Brimstead and I want to collect it.'
 q refuse to pay it." Davis promptly answered
 Then I shall have to put 1t In the hands of a lawyer" said Samson.
 "Put 1t where you like but don't consume any more of my time"
 But you'll have to hear me say that I don't think you're honest"
 q have heard you," Davis answered calmly.
 Samson withdrew and went to the home of Mrs. Kelso. He found her with Bims boy in her lap-a hand some little lad, then a bit over two years old-at the house on La Sale street. Samson told of the failure of Bim's letter to reach him and of his offer to return the money which Da- wis had paid for their relief
 'I don't like the man and I don't want you to be under obligation to him." said Samson. 'The story of Harry's death was false and I think that he is responsible for 1t. He wanted her to marry him right away after that-of course. And she went to the plague settlement to avoid mar riage. I know her better. than you do. She has read him right Her soul has looked into his soul and 1t keeps her away from him."
 But Mrs. Kelso could believe no evil of her benefactor, nor would she promise to cease depending on his bounty.
 Samson was little disheartened by the visit. He went to see John Went worth, the editor of the Democrat, of whose extreme length MT. Lincoln had humorously spoken in his presence. The young New Englander was seven feet tall. He welcomed the broad shouldered man from SangamOn coun- ty and began at once to question him about Honest Abe and Steve" Doug las and O. H. Browning and E. D. Ba- ker and all the able men of the middle counties. At the first opportunity Sams@n came to the business of his call-the mischievOus lie regarding Harry's death which had appeared in the Democrat. MT. Wentworth went

RuS a Professional Strong Maj
 Was Knocked Out
Hans Jahn Says SanaIt Put Him Bad
 In the Ring

MT. Hans Jahn IS one of the famous Three Jahns, strong men and gynnasts who during the Summer of 1921 gave hair -raising and extremely dangerous performances on perches way up near the top of the big tent. Their performances demand great strength as well as won- derful agility, and for four weeks theil act was greatly hampered by the fact that Mr. Hans Jahn was confined to hospital with pneumonia But the few words he convmemgly. He says:-
 Il must let you know the great benefit l have got from Sanalt, the Sensible Tonic, and advise you to use it whenever you need anything to build you up after slck spell Early m the season was taken sck with pneumonia and the Barnum & Bailey Circus had to leave me ID Massachusetts, where I spent four weeks in hospital At last I joined the Show in Ohio, but was very weak and hardly able to perform. Then one of my friends with the Circus recommended oanalt. l have taken little more than ,ne bottle, am feeling fine and gzl ming strength every day. It has brought back ny appetite and shall soon be as heavy md muscular as ever. l cannot say too much for this wonderful tonic"
 It generally happens that one who has Mtfered a severe illness finds that the 1 blood Is weak and the stomach, kidne ys, iver and bowels are sluggish. Sanalt makes rich, red blood and sets all tho Tgans to working vigorously and freely.
 Any enterprising druggist will sell you l sanalt.

Where is sorrow there Is my proper place." Cartwright answered. "Those people need comfort and the help of God"
 'I got a letter from a lady there," Cawkins went on. "As nigh as I can make out they need a minister. I can read print handy but writin' bOthers me. You read it, brother"
 MT. Cartwright took the letter and read as follows:
 Dear Sir: MT. Barman gave me your name. We need a minister to comfort the sick and help bury the dead. It is a good deal to ask of you but if you feel like taking the chance of coming here I am sure you could do a lot of good. We have doctors enough and it seems a pity that the church should fail these people when they need it most If you have the couSage to come you would win the gratitude of many people. For month I have been taking care of the sick iAd up to now no harm has come to me.
 "YOurs respectfully,
 "BIM KELSO." "'A mans heart deviseth his way but the Lord directeth his steps," said Cartwright For three days I have felt that He was leading me-
 II begin to think that He has been leading me-" Samson declared. "Bim Kelso is the person I seek"
 T would have gone but my wife took on so I couldn't get away" said Cawkins.

mercy" Cartwright assured him as he and Samson took the road to the north.
 On their way to the Honey creek settlement the liOn-hearted minister told of swimming through flooded rivers, getting lost on the plains and suffering for food and water, of lying down to rest at night in wet clothes with no shelter but the woods, of hand to-hand fights with rOWdies whe en- deavored to sell drink or create dis turbance at his meetings. Such was the zeal for righteousness woven by many hands into the fabric Of the West. A little before sundown they reached the settlement.
 Samson asked a man in the road if he knew where they could find the nurse Bim KelsO.
 Do ye mean that angel O God in a white dress that takes keer O the sickF' the man, asked
 'I guess that would be Bim," said Samson.
 She's over in yon' house." the oth- CT answered, pointing with his pipe to a cabin some twenty rods beyond them. "Thar's two children sick thar an the mammy dead an buried in the ground"
 - "Is the plague getting worseT' Cartwright asked.
 "No, I reckon it's better. Nobody has come down since the day before yestiddy. Thars the doctor comin'. He kin tell ye."
 A bearded man of middle age was approaching them in the saddle.
 "I am Peter Cartwright-the preacher sent of God to comfort the sick and bury the dead" said Sam sons companion.
 i've welcome you, but if you stop here you will have to stay until the epidemic is over."
 That I am prepared to do."
 "Then I shall take you where you can find entertainment, such as 1t ts."
 "Ftrst, this man wishes to speak to Miss Kelso, the nurse," said Cart wright "He is friend of hers"
 "You can see her but only at dis tance," the doctor answered. "I must keep you at least twenty feet away from her. Come with me-"
 They proceeded to the stricken house. The doctor entered and pres ently Bim came out. Her eyes filled with tears and for a moment she could not speak.
 "Why didn't you let me know of your troublesp' Samson asked.
 "Early last summer I wrote a long letter to you," she answered.
 "It didn't reach me. One day in June the stage was robbed of it's mail down in Tazewell county. Your letter was probably on that stage"
 "Harry's death was the last blow. l came out here to get away from my troubles to die. I didn't care"
 Harry Is not dead" said Samson.
 Her right hand touched her fore head; her lips fell apart; her eyes took on look of tragic earnestness.
 Not dead!' she whispered.
 "He is alive and we'll"
 Bim staggered toward him and fell to her knees and lay crouched upon the ground, in the dusky twilight, shaking and choked with sobs, and with tears streaming from her eyes but she was almost as silent as the shadow of the coming night She looked like one searching in the dust for Something very precious. The strong heart of Samson was touched by the sorrowful look of her so that he could not speak.
 Soon he was able to say in a low, trembling voice:
 "In every letter he tells of his love for you. That article in the paper was a cruel mistake"
 After a little silence Bim rose from the ground. She stood, for a moment,

to the proofroom and found the manu- script of the article.
 Samson told of the evil 1t had wrought and conveyed his suspicious to the editor.
 "Davis is rather interruptions" said Wentworth. "We know a lot about him in this office"
Connecticut western news., 1922-06-22

Samson looked at the article and presently said: Here is a note that he gave to a friend of mine. It looks to me as if the note and the article were written by the same hand"
 Mir. Wentworth compared the two and said. You are right. The same

MANTELL IN "HAMLET"
Shakespesrean Star Seen In FamIl-
Lar Rola at Broad

Broad-As the second performance OF
his engagement Of Shakespearean and
classic repertoire, Robert r. Mantell
last night presented his familiar char
acterization of Hamlet" The dis
tinctive thing about this stars por-
travail of the Melancholy Dane Is his
sonorous and expressive reading of the
lines. Time and repetition have not
dulled the artistry of Mantell's per-
formances nor the quality of his elo-
cution.
The best performance OF the sup
porting cast was the Laertes Of John
Alexander which reached fine china K
in the scene at Ophelia's grave. Guy
Lindsey is now playing Horatio and
his performance Is one of suave and
pleasing smoothness. Vaughan Deering
is an excellent King and Henry Buck
Ter endows the role of that meddling
old rascal PolOnious with good leaven
of comedy which helps make it real.
Genevieve Hampers Ophclia Is a
thing of frail beauty and Agnes FL
! lott Scott, as the Queen, rises TO her
big scene with Hamlet in commend
able fashion.
