Mr.. c. A. Allen, R. R. No. 2,
Bondurant, Iowa, gives testimony
to the healing power of Pe-ru-na.
Influenza left him much run down
in health with catarrh of the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes punct-
uated with attacks of asthma. He
writes:
s'While recovering from the In
fluenza / was so weak I could not
gain any strength for two months.
The lattel part of the winter, I
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na and
began taking it. My weight in
creased to us pounds, The most I
ever weighed.
My usual winter weight is 155.
If you can use this letter for any
good, you are perfectly welcome"
Such evidence cannot fail to con-
vince the rankest unbeliever of tho
merits of Pe-ru-na.
Insist upon having the old and
original remedy for catarrhal con-
ditions.

on the rock against which Dinsdale
was leaning.
Dinsdale frantically worked Forward
behind a bowlder and yelled:
"Give it up, Joe. I'll see you're taken
out of the hills and get a square

San Juan Joe.
Give in,' insisted Dinsdale. You
set Bandy Allen on to me so | could
do your dirty work. You lied about
Roach. You knew Easy had it in for
me. It's even Stephen. I must have
you, but I'll see you have square"
A bullet ricochetted and cut fur
row through the hair and brought
blood. Il tried to help you, Joe, cried
Dinsdale; and he staggered from be-
hind the boulder.
San Juan Joe had correctly inter
preted the desperate firing down the
gulley. He knew he must be climbing
the rocks and into the hills before
more reinforcements arrived. AS he
beheld Dinsdale staggering and reel
ing, with one arm hanging helpless, he
raised savage shout and broke from
the bushes, shooting with both hands
Dinsdale went down on his knees
with red-hot iron through his chest
He called upon his strength for final
effort and fired twice with his left
hand. San Juan Joe came to halt
looked vastly surprised and went down
on his face. Dinsdale's strength de-
serted him. He knew he was hurt, but
was not greatly interested. He knew
he had killed San Juan Joe and was
sorry it had to be. He was also con-
scious of a rattle of gravel and stones
and the sound OF heavy object crash
ing down the slope to hnlt just back
of him. He felt fingers thrust inside
his shirt to examine his wound, but
was wonderfully detached from all
concern about himself.
The Whole situation was very imper-
sonal to him. He heard an exclama-
ton and thought the voice was ia
rniliar. Then strong arms lifted him
up until his head and shoulders were
propped against rock. Ten feet from
him Iron Pyrites was sprawling on his
back, his questioning blue eyes staring
whimsically at the heavens.
"Are you the Peter Dinsdale men
toned in this letter written to Wild
Bill Hickock, and which find in your
pocket?" asked q voice.

bled Dinsdale. wild Bill knew the
company was sending man. The let
ter was to identify me-"
He closed his eyes as stabbing pain
suddenly reminded him he was yet
capable of suffering. There was the
salty taste of blood in his mouth.
"Well, I'll be shot! p softly exclaimed
the voice. ION the wrong track from
the start. Thought you did the Oga-
lala job"
With an effort Dinsdale opened his
eyes. Scissors, still holding the letter
of introduction, stood staring blankly
at the wounded man. Then he gently
said:

Another nod. In deep disgust the
picture-rnan exclaimed:
"And / thought you did the Ogalala

Juan Joe rode out of the hills and
fetched you back with him."
Dinsdale managed to explain:

his way to Dinsdale's side and secured
his attention.

he asked.
Receiving negative Pyrites growIed
an oath and jeered:
Might have known 1t. I don't see
why Joey trusts him to do errands He
always forgits If he finds any one to
listen to his yawp. Joey wants you to
drop in and see him soon as you can.
He sent Scissors to tell you. When
you didn't show VI he sent me. Every
time q body sends Scissors on an err
rand he gifts to incoming round with
his paper cutting"
"All right, Pyrites. I'll trot right
along"
San Juan Joe was in the tent, walk
ing among the various bank games. On
beholding Dinsdale he motioned him to
the bar and joined him at the lower
end, which happened to be deserted.
After they had been served and the
bartender had retired San Juan said !:

must be played on the jump. went
over to the express Office to see about
sending out some dust. Patrick &
Saulsbury's agent has decided to take
no chances on the Indians cutting the
Black hills off from the railroad and
plans to send out the coach tomorrow.
I'VE given Webb his last orders.
81 spoke to the agent about you, ex-
planning how the Indians had cleaned
YOU out and that you were keen for
work. / dragged Scissors in off the
street and made him tell about your
gun-play among the Indians, and the
agent wants you for an extra. But we
want better than that. You must take
some ones place. I've arranged to
have one OF the regular guards filled
up with scalp-talk, with plenty of
drink on the side. He won't show up.
All you've got to do now is to call on
the agent and say / spoke to you. You
know what to tell him."
"I'll make a good talk. How much
is going out?"
San Juan Joe's pale face colored
slightly and his right hand gripped the
bar 70 stop it's tendency to tremble He
whispered:
"Two hundred and fifty thousand.

sNo! That's the beauty of 1t. This
Indian scare will hold all the men to
the qulch. The timid won't dare to go
in a posse and they won't let the men
with sand go. They'll hold them by
