was content merely to follow.
One consideration in Sally's mind
was to avoid the camp at all costs

in that, for after half an hour OF
riding in a direction that was gen.

GRADUATE NURSE SAYS
TANLAC HAS NO EQUAL

properly and for toning up the sys-
tenn in general it has no equal.
about a year ago I had a lady
patient who could not keep a thing
on her stomach fifteen minutes, not
even water. I prevailed on her to
try Tanlac and after the sixth bottle
she could eat absolutely anything
she wanted without the slightest bad
after effects.
"I had another patient who
simply could not eat. I got him
started on Tanlac and by the time
he finished three bottles he was eat
ing ravenously and able to work.
These two instances are TYPICAL
of the wonderful merits of the medi-
cine. My confidence in Tanlac is
unlimited"

After short interval both heard

Presently her prediction was real

the distance before the bridled horse
answered.
''Stay right here, Henry. The

There may be somebody riding it,

The second horse was advancing
more rapidly now. There was an
other interchange of calls and Sally
chung more tightly to the bride of
their captive. The Wreck stood
tense, ready to shoot at anything
that looked like man. Sally eau
toned him not to be too quick; she
did not want any bloOd-letting unless
1t was a final alternative.
Out of the brush and into the dim
light came a second riderless horse.
Hold this one" said Sally, giving
the bride to the Wreck.
An instant later she had a second
captive.
"Bridled and saddled like the first
one!" she exclaimed. Ibid you ever
