CHAPTER IlI-continued.

"Wal, wal, AL, this s the proudest
meetin of my life," replied Stillwell.
In booming voice. He extended a
huge hand. "Miss-Miss Majesty,
sight Of you is as welcome as the rain
an the flowers to an old desert cattle
man."
Madeline greeted him, and 1t was all
she could do to repress cry at the
way he crunched her hand In grasp
of iron. He was old, white-haired,
weather-beaten, with long burrows
down his cheeks and with gray eyes
almost hidden in wrinkles. If he was
smiling she fancied it most extraor-
binary smile. The next instant she
realized that it had been smile, for
his face appeared to stop ripping, the
light died, and suddenly it was like
rudely chiseled stone. The quality Of
hardness she had seen in Stewart was
UNNECESSARILY intensified in this old
mans face.
Miss Majesty, it's plumb humiliatin'
to all of us tibet we wasn't on hand to
meet you," Stillwell said. "I'm sure
afraid 1t was bit unpleasant fer you
last night at the station. Wal, I'm
some glad to tell you tibet there's no
man in these parts except your brother

Pills and salts give temporary relief
from constipation only at the expense
of permanent injury, says an eminent
medical authority.
Science has found a newer. better
way-a means as simple as Nature it
self.
In perfect health a natural lubricant
keeps the food waste soft and moving.
But when constipation exists this
natural lubricant is not sufficient.
Doctors prescribe Nujol because it
acts like this natural lubricant and
thus secures regular bowel movements

AS Nujol is not a medicine or laxa-

water, 1t is harmless and pleasant.

and grew hot; the horses held tire
lessly to their steady trot, and mile
after mile of rolling land slipped by.
From the top Of a ridge Madeline
saw down into hollow where a few
Of the cowboys had stopped and were
sitting round fire, evidently busy at
the monday meal. Their horses were
feeding on the long, gray grass.

Stillwell. SIN sure hungry. Well

During lunch-time Madeline observed
that she was an object Of manifestly
great interest to the three cowboys.
She returned the compliment, and was
amused to see that glance their way
caused them painful embarrassment.
They were grown men-one Of whom
had white hair-yet they acted like
boys caught in the act Of stealing a
forbidden look at pretty girl.

Florence, as If stating an uninteresting
fact. But Madeline detected a merry
twinkle In her clear eyes. The cow
boys heard, and the effect upon them
was magical. They fell to shamed
confusion and to hurried useless tasks.
"Haw, haw!" roared Stillwell. "Flor-
ence, you jest hit the nail on the haid.
Cowboys are all plumb flirts. 1 was
wonderin' why them boys nooned hyar.

Were rushing you off, I'm sorry to
say; but we must hustle back to the
ranch. The fall roundup begins to-
morrow. You will ride in the buck

ride on ahead with the boys and fix
up a little for you at the ranch. It's
long ride out-nearly fifty miles by
wagon-road. Flo, don't forget couple
of robes. Wrap her up well. And
hustle getting ready. We're waiting"
A little later, when Madeline went
out with Florence, the gray gloom was
Tightening. Horses were champing bits
and pounding gravel.
"Mawnin', Miss Majesty" said Still
well, gruffiy, from the front seat Of a
high vehicle.
Alfred bundled her up into the back
seat, and Florence after her, and
wrapped them with robes. Then he
mounted his horse and started off.

A Ride From Sunrise to Sunset.

Next morning, when Madeline was
aroused by her brother, 1t was not yet
daybreak; the air chilled her, and In
the gray gloom she had to feel around
for matches and lamp. Her usual
languid manner vanished at touch
of the cold water. Presently, when
Alfred knocked on her door and said
he was leaving a pitcher Of hot water
outside, she replied, with chattering
teeth, "Th-thank y-you, b-but DIDN'T
ne-need any now" She found It neces-
sary, however, to warm her numb fin
gers before she could fasten hooks and
buttons. And when she was dressed
she marked In the dim mirror that
there were tinges of red In her cheeks.
"Well, If I haven't some colorl" she
exclaimed.
Breakfast waited for her In the din
ing-room. The sisters ate with her.
Madeline quickly caught the feeling Of
brisk action that seemed to be In the
air. Then Alfred came stamping In.

1t was cracking and roaring of
fire that awakened Madeline next
morning, and the first thing she saw
was huge stone fireplace in which lay
a bundle Of blazing sticks. Some one

ing lost returned to her. She just

Madeline liked the old fellow for his
loyalty to the cowboy he evidently
cared for; but as there did not seem
anything for her to say, she remained
silent.

you're in the West now, tibet you must

The Bible is, or should be, the

foundation for a liberal education.
In the estimation of great scholars

No matter what religion may be

reading these stories they will uncon-

naturally follow. Teaching the child
to like the right kind of reading mat
