Quart of Water
Cleans Kidneys
Take a Little Salts If Your Back
Hurts, or Bladder Is
Troubling You

No man or woman can make mis-
take by flushing the kidneys occasion
ally, says a 'well-known authority
Eating too much rich food creates
acids, which excite the kidneys. They
become overworked from the strain,
get sluggish and fail to filter the waste
and poisons from the blood. Then we
get sick. Rheumatism, headaches,
liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness,
sleeplessness and urinary disorders
.often come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the Kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation Of scalding, be-
gin drinking a quart of water each
day, also get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a
tablespoonful in glass of water be-
fore breakfast and in few days your
kidneys may act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to flush and stimulate the
Kidneys; also to help neutralize the
acids in the system, so they no longer
cause irritation, thus often relieving
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; makes q
delightful effervescent lithia-wate1
drink which everyone should take
now and then to help keep the kid
neys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby often avoiding serious
kidney complications.

The albino half-closed his eyes, the
pale eyeballs glittering through the
slit of his lids as he reflected on this
proposition, tapping careless finger
on his knee. He glanced absent-mind
eddy toward the bar, his thoughts
wholly occupied with the matter In
hand. A pair of eyes that gazed back
at him drew his own and he found
himself looking at Bentley, the man
who repped with. the Three Bar for
Slade. The albino's suspicious were
as fluid and easily reused as those OF
a beast of prey in dangerous neigh
borhood. With one of those quick
shifts of which his mind was capable
he concentrated every mental effort
toward linking Bentley with some IN
pleasant episode Of the past. The
man had turned away and Harper
could only sense vague feeling that
he was dangerous to him, withOu!
definite point upon which to base his
suspicious. AT the sound of Harris
voice his mind made another lightning
shift back to the present
"Well?" Harris asked.
"Why, If l had anything to do with
1t, like you seem to think, I'd advise
against our bucking each other" tlar-
per said. "Pd try to get along-and
declare hands Off" He rose, nodded
to the two men and returned to the
stud game.
"He'll do it, too" Evans predicted
"Theres that much fixed anyway
not bad piece of work."
The two men returned to the bar
and Brill moved close to Harris For
fifteen years he had stood behind that
bar and observed the men of the
whole countryside at their worst-and
best; and he knew men. AS well as
If he had heard the words of the three
at the table he knew that Harris and
Harper had reached an agreement of
some sort that was satisfactory to
both.
Ten minutes later the five men rose
to CO. Harris looked at his watch
I'm off," he said to Evans. "rry
and get the boys home by tomorrow
morning If it's possible"
He went outside and mounted as
the five rustlers swung to their sad
dies.
I'm going your way as far as thu
forks" he said to Harper.
The three Bar men were treated to
the sight of their foreman riding
down the road beside Harper at the
head of four of the worst ruffians ir
the state.
And behind the bar Brill moved
softly back and forth when not serv
ing drinks, pausing opposite first ont
group and then the next to dab at TIT
polished wood with his cloth, listen
ing carefully to the conversation ant
gauging It to determine whether tn
apparent sentiment toward the squat
ter foreman was sincere or woul
prove different when the men, fushe
with undluted rye, were unrestraine
by his presence.

Made Short Coat Popular

Few articles of dress were more
popular at one time than the short
coat known as the Spencer, the orr
gin of which is extremely curious. Dur
ing the reign of George Ill, Earl Spen
Ger. who was rather particular now
he dressed, once remarked In a com
pany that no fashion was so rldicu
ous but would be worn If introduced
by person of sufficient Importance.
This was objected to, whereupon the
earl offered to bet that If he cut OIL
the skirts of his coat and walked out
with merely the body and sleeves
some one would follow suit. The BET
was taken, the coat prepared ana
worn by the earl In London. Before
week was over well-known tailor,
who was always on the lookout for
something new. copied It. and SO the
Spencer came into being.

The girl could find no sorrow In
her heart over the passing of Barton
but there was an uneasy feeling deep
within her-a vague suspicion that
she should be able to pronounce the
killers name. This elusive thought
was crowded from her mind when the
ranger rode up to the Three Bar ac-
companied by Ssade, each man lead

CHAPTER VII

There was new contentment in
the eyes of the Three Bar girl as she
sat her horse beside Carlos Deane and
looked off down the bottoms. A haze
of smoke drifted above the little val.
ley Of the Crazy Loop. Three mule
outfits were steadily ripping up the
sage flats. The two rode down to the
fields with the pungent sage smoke
drifting in their faces. Harris joined
them, and swept his arm across the
stretch of powed ground.
"Can you picture that covered with
q stand of alfalfa hay?" he asked.
The girl nodded
"Yes-and cut and cured and in the
stack yards" she said. And a
straight red run Of Three Bar cows
wintering under fence"
Harris wondered If her new con.
tentmen, came wholly from the prog
ress the Three Bar was making OF
was derived partly from the presence
of Carlos Deane. Each man had rec
Ognized the other as contender for
the love of the Three Bar girl ana
during the two days OF Deanes stay
each one had been covertly sizing and
estimating the caliber Of the other
man.
For month prior to Deane's ar
rival Harris had been occupied from
dawn till dark with the details OF the
new work hundred acres of plOwed
ground lay mellOwing under the sun.
The cowhands were out working the
range in pairs, branding late-dr0pped
e calves and moving drifted stock hack
to the home range. Forty white-face
bulls had been trail-herded from the
railroad and thrown out along the
foot of the hills to replace the Other
bulls that had been rounded up and
brought in. In few more days the
BOYS would come in from the range
and gather at the home ranch, pre-.
paratory to going out once more on
the beef roundup.
"I'm about to take vacation, e
Harris said. THE ranger is coming
over to mark out some more trees for
us and to run the U g. brand on the
logs we've already cut I'm going
back up in the hills with him to sort

We can get grazing permits on the

first rims and followed over into
rolling country, heavily timbered in
the main. In the early evening they
rode out on to low divide and Blind

expanse of open grassland.
