DEVILS HEAD STANDS
GUARD

nEVIL'S HEAD, Colorado. is a
II great rough pile of rocks which
forms a landmark for all the coun-
try around it. There are many
stories told about the region, which
is wild and little Travelled except on
the main roads. Even at this time
desperadoes sometimes hide out In
the vicinity, although a national for.
est fire lookout tops the Head. In
early days robbers and desperate
men knew that region, too, and
without doubt there is treasure hid
den about the Devils Head which
has never been-and perhaps never
will be-found.
For instance, in the early 70s, a
gang held up government train at
Big Springs and got away with $780,
600 in gold eagles. The men man.
aged to hide in the forest near Dew
IFS Head, but the posse hunting for
them knew that country rather well
themselves, and pursuit came en-
tirely too close for safety. Accord
ingly the holdups buried their loot,
sticking long knife into a tree to
mark the spot, and got out of the
country for the time being.
In 1923 an old man appeared In
the region, who seemed to be hunt
ing for something. He searched
for days, and when a forester at
the lookout, who had been watching
him, finally asked him what he was
looking for, he told the story of the
holdup that had happened so long
before. He had been one of the
gang, the old man said, and he
hoped to find the buried loot. But
he had not reckoned on forest fires
the trees he had once seen, and
the knife he knew to have been left
above the gold, had long ago gone
up in pillows of thick smoke.

When he was half way up the walk
the front door opened and youth
came out. He was a surly-faced
youngster and there was hostility
in his eyes. VIII * So sze

the youth, "you amt a-comin' in

Sheriff Lee grinned pleasantly.
"All right, sonny. Is your ma
home?" ...7:. = T.
Before the youth could answer,
the door opened a second time. A
woman and young man appeared.
Sheriff Lee guessed by their ex-
pressions that they resented his be-
ing there. He swept off, his hat.
Excuse me, ma'am. I don't aim
to disturb yuh home. All want is
to ask a few questions"
"What kind Of questions?"
The wOman's voice was raspy, and
when she spoke her expression be-
came more hostile than ever. :
>'If it's about my husband, you're
on the wrong trail. Folks around
here amt got the sense Gawd gave
little apples. They're a-sayin' we
killed Nate"
"An' they'll keep on sayin' it till
we find out what killed your hus-
band, ma'am, an yuh better heed
it. I'm the sheriff, an I gotta look
into the business. Sensible thing
for you to do is give me your CO.
operation"
The woman hesitated, staring I'M
certainly at the sheriff, unable to
read his thoughts or suppress the
suspicion in her own eyes.
While she waited the young man
who stood on the porch beside her
said: "Mebbe he's right, at that,
ma. Leastwise, we amt got nothin'
to be skeered Of"
(which is right sensible talk"
Sheriff Lee came up on the veranda
Lets go inside, ma'am. It's hot

The woman hesitated again. Then
she turned and led the way inside
Sheriff Lee followed, and behind him
came the two young men. He
smiled at them pleasantly. trying
hard to break down the barrier OF
hostility.

"Yes, he was. An he didn't have
no bad habits. Doc Adrian spent
two days prowlin' around the house

Sheriff Julian Lee dismounted and

his visitor and smiled.
'Howdy, sheriff. Been expectin'

Sheriff Lee moved toward the

"Hullo, Moe. Gimme a beer" He

Well : Being to Unknown
PREPARATIONS

BEFORE you take any prepara-
- ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about tin comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, for
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
In and out without I'LL effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods get discovered for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
-. and safe for the average person
to take regularly. So
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store - simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin"
alone, but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

ANY mother knows the reason
Awhen her child stops playing, eats
little, is hard to manage. Constipation.
But what a pity so few know the

A liquid laxative is the answer,
mothers. The answer to all your
worries over constipation. A liquid
can be measured. The dose can be
exactly suited to any age or need:
Just reduce the dose each time, until
the bowels are moving Of their own

This treatment will succeed with

A railway tunnel, 5000 feet of
line, and a station complete in ev-
cry detail are to be built in their
spare time by 500 children in the
Tiflis Park of Culture and Rest at
Moscow.
These projects will be an extern

way built in the park by the children
themselves. 1t is run entirely by
children and has two stations and
1000 feet of track. 1t was opened
three months ago, and since then
5000 passengers have ridden in its
tiny train, driven by a child. The

Engineers Will Move River
to Create an Airdrome Site

To move a river so that an aero.
drome can be built sounds fantas-
tic task-yet that is what engineers
are about to do near Nice. The
mouth of the Var, a large river
there, Is to be completely diverted
so that an aerodrome can be built
where it's waters have flowed out to
the sea for countless centuries.
For some years the mouth has
been gradually sitting up, and del
TIA has been forming under the sur.
face of the water. Now it is pro-
posed to move the river bed 200
yards to the west, so that the delta
becomes dry land. On this will be
built an important aerodrome.

LOST Mines @w.Nu.
DOGS OF THE MIST

COMEWHERE in the region where
- the Continental Divide crosses
the Mexican border, there is q won
derful lost mine. Who first discov-
cred it, who sank the first shaft or
drove the first tunnel, and brought
the first cleaning gold out into the
sunlight, no one knows. And no
one has any idea why the mine was
abandoned, since great chunks of
"chispa"-high grade ore-still lie
on the dump.
At least, they should be lying
there. Only one man ever saw
them, and he did not live to benefit
from his discovery. In fact, if it
were not for the piece of ore, heavy
with gold, which goes to prove the
story, one might wonder if this lost
mine were not just another creation
of legend.
A strange, eerie superstition has
grown up about the lost mine; on
nights when the young moon makes
a light only a little brighter than
the stars, and there is misty look
to the hills which renders the most
familiar landmarks strange, the
man of the house will stroll out to
the edge of town-perhaps farther
slowly and quietly. He listens
intently. Then perhaps a coyote
bowls, or a dog barks-and he is
all attention. He seems half
afraid, half eager.
Usually, he finally strolls home
again, looking shade disappointed.
But once in a while-ah, then
The sounds for which he is listening
become clearer-they resolve into
the bark of two dogs together, at
some little distance from the man
who waits and listens with every
nerve tingling with excitement. AS
soon as he can locate their direc-
ton, off he goes.
He is following 'Los Perros de la
Niebla"-the Dogs Of the Mist. If
he can keep their trail, guided only
by their ghostly barking, he will
come to the place where is the mar
velous mine, and its riches will be
his. He will know 1t because the
skeleton Of a man lies there some
where close-the man who long ago
went hunting with his two great
black dogs, found the mine, and
then shot himself, accidentally, I'm
his nervous excitement. As he lay
dying within reach Of the glittering
ore, he wrote a note in his own
blood on scrap of paper-or, as
some say, on a rag torn from his
clothing. He folded this about a
piece of ore and tied 1t to the neck
Of one of the dogs. Then he com.
manded them to go for help.
Exactly what the note said, no
one can tell, but apparently its few
words conveyed plea to follow the
dogs back to him. The man whom
the animals searched out, believing
that they were mad, shot them both
before he saw the mesSage-and
spent the rest of his life in futile
search for the mine.
1t was a misty moonlight night
when the great, black, eager dogs
appeared, jumping and barking to
attract attention. Zone can scarce

first and investigating afterward).
Ever since then-and 1t has been
many years-their ghosts return on
such nights, unseen but not I'M
heard, and try to lure some one to
the place where their master lies.
Sometimes an ardent believer will
follow them for miles, only always
to lose them at last-and it is said
that one man became quite deaf
from listening to their barking.

Moe stared at him in astonish-

From the depths of a barrel Moe

reached for the dipper that hung
above water spigot and filled it.
