CHAPTER vlI--continued.

h morning was far gone when the
woodsman finished his task at the
f~eed-pens.
AS he stood leaning against the
fence, the events of the day before
crossed his mind-the heelprlnts on
the dusty deck of the concealed house
boat; the iyory-handled six-gun; the
spark of flint that had transformed the
peering eyes Of the preacher when he
faced the desperado's knife. From
this, his mind reverted to the words of
Belden about what he had seen In the
little park.
A face rose before nina face com.
Polling in its easy suavity-that, in
spite Of Its studious severity. seemed
to have a strange fascination for
Texie. He knew she had let him walk
home with her from the festival-a
privilege that meant more In the Flat
woods than anywhere else In the
world. A deep breath came up out Of
his breast; his hand gripped the fence
rail- hard.
But many an lnsistent task lay wait
Ing. The thought reused him. AS he
raised his arm to put on his hat, the
sweat got at the cut In his shoulder
and stung him.
He had intended to haul In some
shock corn from the bottoms. He
fsowned toward the wagon; plucked
the blouse loose about his shoulder:
finally went up into the woods to In
spect a string OF rail fence that would
have 10 be repaired before the stock
cattle could be turned out of the lower
lots into the upland pasture.
He had spent some time readjustlng
fallen rails and strengthening crooked
panels when q tiny spot OF color in a

beautiful face Of a woman and In
the companion frame, the fine. up
standing figure of a soldier IN the uni
form of a colonel Of Mounted Rang
ers-the man and the woman who had
dreamed the dream that never came
true.
The wOodsman had finished his task
at the barn and feedpens that evening
and returned TO the cabin, where,
deeply thoughtful he was half me-
c~hanically building a fire in the cool
stove when his quick ear caught the
sound of a light step coming along the
path from the orchard. He laid down
the klndllng and turned toward the
door.
The light step had stopped, and
TeXie stood outlined in the doorway,
her eyes dancing, alive over the
thought OF having taken the alert
woGdsman by surprise, the round won
der OF her throat and cheeks touched
to a softer blush by the waning sun
light that slipped In under the Grim
son rambler.
The man dragged Off his hat. The
girl glanced over the cabin lifted her
eyes.

Miss Mary Katherine Campbell,
twice proclaimed Miss America"
has taken TANLAC and endorses it
in a statement recently given to the
women of America. In this state
ment, Miss America declares that
Good Health is the basis of all Beau
ty, and advises women who would be
beautiful to "frst find good health"
Her complete statement as given
is as follows: 81 consider it a great
privilege to be able to tell the thou
sands of women everywhere what a
great tonic TANLAC is. Health is
the basis of all beauty. Without
good health, one is apt to be run
down, nervous, underweight, high
strung, anemic. Indigestion drives
the roses from a woman's cheeks and
robs her of that radiant quality of
womanhood that is real beauty.

Get rid of
constipation
by internal
cleanliness

THEIR = is no reason why you should suffer from
/ constipation. Headaches, biliousness. sleepless
nights, heaviness, are nature s warning that intestinal
poisons are flooding your system. If allowed to con-
tnue, you may become a victim of serious organic
disease.
In constipation, say intestinal specialists, lies the
primary cause Of more than three-quarters Of all i'll
ness including the gravest diseases Of life.
Laratpes Agerapafe Constipation
Laxahves and cathartics do not overcome constpa-
ton, says a noted authority, but by their continued
use tend only to aggravate the condition and often
lead TO permanent injury.
Why Physicians Favor fabrication
Medical science. through knowledge Of the intestinal
tract gained by X-ray observation, has found at
last in fabrication a means of overcoming constipation.
The gentle lubricant. Nujol, penetrates and softens
the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage out
of the body. Thus Nujol brings internal cleanliness.
Nujois used in leading hospitals and is pre7cnbed by physicians
throughout the world Nujol is no a medicine n laxative and
cannot grippe. Like pure water it is harmless.

rich man and money-lender. Jack

In some sections of the country
hogs are being shipped to the pack

may be wise to hold some of them
for higher price. Hogs is hogs and
are bound to be worth more. A hog

THE GIRL AND THE OPEN
ROAD

Wisconsin mothers will think SER
iously Of the warning sent out by
Miss Alice Bartlett of the Milwaukee
Y. w. G. A, who is concerned for the
safety of the girl hiker. These young
women in khaki or knickers and
sweater arrive at the Y. w G. A. at
all hours of the day and night and in
all stages of exhaustion.
Most OF these girls. have simply
believing that girl has as much
right as young man to see some
thing Of Wisconsin, to get the physi-
cal benefits that come from a hike,
to be out in the open on vacation.
But in the course of the hike they Of
ten accept auto gifts" from strange
men. Sometimes they miscalculate
their funds and arrive in the city with
out money Often they overtax their
endurance and become i'll. All of
these situations have their dangers.
Not all of the young women who
start out on hikes tell their parents
of their intentions. So it is well that
all over Wisconsin, in the high school
the churches, the Parent Teacher
associations and the women's clubs,
there be a dissemination of informa-
ton as to what the girl hiker may
encounter.
No one wants to deprive the young
women of Wisconsin of enjoying the
states summertime to the full. But
for their own sakes, they should not
go on tours, either singly or in
groups, without being properly chap
eroned, adequately provided with
funds, and a reasonable knowledge of
their own powers of enduranee.-M

conduct was called Immoral"
The matter is now before the re-

institutions som etimes becomes OPP

be, if he really sold his six dollar

ments, should carry his cause to the
last court and demonstrate that there
is no constitutional provision uphold
ing mockish professionalism which

Rather than less advertising, hon.
est dentistry needs more advertising,

advising the public as to the care Of
teeth, the deadly dangers of neglect,
the false economy in postponing &C

mind an entirely false and misleading

OVER BORROWING

Statistics showing the number OF
foreclosures of mortgages on farms
in the wheat region seem to indicate
the truth of the assertion that much
of the farmers trouble has been due
to over-borrowing during the period of
imitation. Farm land was bought at
prices higher than it's productive pow
or would justify. High wages paid to
city and railroad workers forced the
farmers to pay high wages for their
help, with the result that they could
make no profit even when they got a
Fair price. The farmer who has
