 First you, my frien' Mike" said Quintana cautiously, cineh took his rifle by the muzzle and showed the stock Into view so that auintana could see 1t without moving.
 To his surprise, Quintana did the same, then coolly stepped a pace out side the shelter of his hemlock stump.
 You show me now!" he called across the swamp.
 chnch stepped into view, dug into his pocket, and, crpping both hands, displayed glittering heap of gems.

 Quintana's eyes had become slits again. Neither man stirred. Then:
 'So you are buzzard. eh, Clinch? You feed. on dead mans pockets, eh? You find Sard somewhere an you feed" He held up the morocco case, emblazoned with the arms 0. the Grand Duchess of Esthonia, and shook 1t at Clinch.
 Tn there Is my share. Not all. Yer quick, now. I take yours. too"
 Clinch vanished and so did his rife; and Quintana's first bullet struck the moss where the stock had rested.
 You black crow!" jeered Clinch, laughing,"-I need that empty case of yours. And I'm going after 1t. .. But It's because your filthy claw touched my grille that you gotta hop!"
 Twilight lay over the phantom wood. touching with pallid tints the flooded forest.
 So far only that one shot had been fired. Both men were still maneu- vering, always creeping in circles and always lining some great tree for shelter.
 Now, the gathering dusk was mak ing them bolder and swifter; and twice, already, Clinch caught the shadow of fading edge of some- thing that vanished against the shadows too swiftly for shot. Now Quintana. keeping tree in line, brushed with his 1.-the back a leafless moose-bush that stood sway ing as he avoided it.
 Instantly a stealthy hope seized him: he slipped out of his coat. spread it on the bush, set the naked branches swaying, and darted to his tree.

Clinch had halted-always the me- tree.
 Probably both men knew that they could cover themselves before the other moved a muscle. Clinch's small, light eyes were blazing; Quin- tana's black eyes had become two sits.
 Finally: You - dirty skunk" drawled Clinch in his agreeably mis- leading voice, got you now."s
 "Ah-h," said Quintana, "thees has happen yer nice like expee'. :. Always I say myself, yet little pa tience, Jose, an one day you. shall meet thees fellow Clinch, who has rob you. I am yer, thank full to the good God"
 He had made the slightest of move ments; instantly both men were be- hind their trees. Clinch, in the eerocious pride of woodcraft, laughed exultingly-filled the dim and spec tral forest with his roar of laughter.
 "Quintana, he called out, you're a-going to cash in. Savvy? You're a-going to hop off. An first you gotta hear why. 'Tain't for the stuff. Nav!

THE WONDERFUL FRUIT MEDICINE
"Fruit-a-tlyes" Is The Only Remedy made from FTuItjuIces
MARVELLOUS RESULTS

The fact that "Fruit-a-tlves" is the only medicine in the world made from fruit juices--that 1t is entirely different from any other preparation for the treatment of disease--is the one big reason why so many people are willing to give ita fair trial. They have used dozens of other treatments for Constipation, Liver and Kidney Trouble; Headaches, Rheumatism andNeuralgia; Indigestion, Dyspepsia Nervousness; Lack of Appetite, Poor Blood, Skin Diseases and rundown condition ofthe esystem. They realize that they must have something diff ferent from the ordinary remedies in order to cure themselves.
 "Fruit-a-tives" is different. It Is the discovery of physician, who after long experiments-succeeded in transforming the juices of apples, oranges, figs and prunes into an en- tirely new compound. By combining these intensified fruit juices with tonics and antiseptics, he created . new substance, which had all the medicinal properties of fresh fruit, but in more efficient form. There can be no substitute for ''Fruit-a- lives" because "Fruit-a-tives" is the only medicine made from fruit juices.

Sometimes his lips moved, They usually did when he was arguing with God or calling his Creators attention to the justice of his case. His two cases--each. to him, cause celebre; the matter of Harrod the affair of Quintana.
 Many time he had pleaded these two causes before the Most High.
 But now his thoughts were chiefly concerned with Eve-with the prob- lem of her future-his master pas sion--this daughter of the dead wife he had loved.
 He sighed unconsciously; halted.
 Well, Lord" he concluded, in his wordless way, my girlie has gotta have Q chance if gotta go to hell for it. That's sure as shootin' |. Amen"
 At that instant he saw Quintana.
 Recognition was instant and mu- tua. Neither man stirred. Quin- tana was standing beside a giant hemlock. His pack lay at his feet.
