Twice Lois walked past Bob's
door Twice she paused and raised
her hand to knock And twice the
humping of her own heart fright
ened her ami she moved away in
panic.
From beyond the door she had
heard the even thump-thumping of
Bob's feet: that rhythmic tread
back and forth, back and forth. The
sound begot visions which she did
not like-visions of this young man
in prison uniform. pacing the mar
row barred confines Of a cell
across and back-across and back.
She visualized him surrounded by

of his haggard face, his sunken
eyes, his pallid cheeks. brought
home to her something of what he
had experienced.
Lois was more worried than she

what Bruce Richardson already
knew-that her pity for this man
had overstepped the bounds Of i'm

have been amazed At the knowledge
that she was ia lave with Bob; she
did not realize that he had excited
her sympathy and aroused to the

she did know. She knew, for in

DENVER, Colo, October 21.-The
nth day of the Colorado coal strike
called by Industrial Workers of the
World found the strikers claiming
victory in the first test of strength
with the State.
Confronted by hundreds of pickets,
Authorities in southern Colorado yes
ferday were unable TO muster enough
special officers to prevent invasion of
mining camps by strikers. AS re-
suit, more mines suspended and op-
orators turned to the State to rein
force special police.
The Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., one
OF the largest mining concerns in the
State, announced it would ask for
State police unless county authorities
were able to stop picketing. William
H. Young of the State Industrial Com
mission. admitted the commission
lacked power to obtain further action
and said he believed the State police
should take control.
Women Aid i'm Picketing.
Several woman pickets appeared in
the Walsenburg area to assist the
men in defying the State order to ar
rest all strikers appearing on mine
property. Six strikers were arrested
on charges of picketing in violation
of the State labor statute. This
brought the total arrests to 26.
Although I. w. w. leaders warned
authorities that their men would start
''to pack six-guns" as soon as there
was bloodshed among strikers, all
pickets were searched before being as
signed to duty. I. w. w. spokesmen
at various camps reiterated state
ments that the strike would be peace.

After years Of torture from rheu-

trouble, health has come to Karl F.

port, Ill. His letter gives the answer
as follows:

rheumatism and kidney trouble. The
back ache and the pains in my
shoulders and legs were SO intense
that at times I would have to stop
everything and lie down. was con-
tinually taking laXatives for consti-
patton, but got no real relief. I lost
weight, had no pep at all, and got up
every morning feeling tired and
worn out. I had tried so many
remedies was terribly discouraged.
But I finally found the right one,
Viuna. The quick results amazed
me. The tired feeling vanished and
my appetite came back. I began to
get good sleep and eat hearty meals
without constipation or other dis
tress. The awful rheumatic pains
and back ache left me and never
came back. I have gained 16 pounds
since I started taking Viuna. 1t has
made a new man of me-"
viuna acts promptly on sluggish
bowels, lazy liver and weak kidneys. 1t
purifies the blood, clears the skin, re-
stores appetite and digestion, and brings
new strength and energy to. the whole
body. Take bottle on trial. Then II

startled her aunt by commenting in
a curiously softened, fond voice.

from you that means a great deal.

laughed. "All right, I'll be- your
foil tonight, but I warn you it's the
last time" she added, as she opened
the door that led from her aunt's
room into the living room of the
small apartment.
Nov what did you mean by
that?" Flora demanded, startled.
Then, ooh, there you are, Peter!
You look stunning tonight, man
dear! Did you ever see anything
SO handsome in all your life as my
Peter, Vee-Vee? A gardenia in his
buttonhole and evcrything!"

handsome in all your life as
Peter, Vee-Vee?" she demanded
again, her blue eyes wide open and
adoring, her voice as soft and car

IF I didn't like him so well myself,
Vee-Vee, I'd make you happy by CIV

wouldn't run away from me on
stupid business"
