Lake as not it was something about the constitution. "Do you know what 'polygamy' means?" thundered the judge. The applicant confessed that the ■word was a new one on him.

Many babies who cannot take any other food relish the perfect food, ■Grape-Nuts, and get well. "My little baby was given up by three doctors who said that the con densed milk on which I fed her had ruined the child's stomach. One of the doctors told me that the only tiling to do would be to try Grape- Nuts, so I got some and prepared it as follows: 1 soaked 1V& tablespoonfula tn one pint of cold water for half an hour, then I strained off the liquid and mixed 12 teaspoonfuis of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with six teaspoonfuis of rich milk, putin a pinch of salt s.ud a little sugar, warmed it and gave It to baby every two hours. "In this simple, easy way I saved haby's life and have built her up to a strong healthy child, rosy and laugh ing. The food must certainly be per fect to have such a wonderful effect as this. I can truthfully say I think it Is the best food in the world to raise delicate babies on, and is also a deli cious healthful food for grown-ups as we have discovered in our family." •Grape-Nuts is equally valuable to the strong, healthy man or woman. It Wtands for the true theory of health. "There's a Reason. Read "Tho Road to Wellville," in pkgs. I/2 story cyj mm ==^==r-^=rm [LANGFORD] a / / A e = THREE U BARSd 112 s KATE AND VIRGIL D. BOYLES | t by A. C. McClurj & Co., 1V07.) SYNOPSIS. George Williaton, a poor ranchman, high minded and cultured, searches for cattta missing from his ranch—the "Lazy 8." On a wooded spot In the river's bed that would liave been an Island had the Missouri been at high water, he discovers a band of horse thieves engaged in work ins: over brands on cattle. Ho creeps near enough to note the changing of the "Three Bars" brand on one steer to the "J. R." brand. CHAPTER 11. "On the Trail." Williston himself came to the door. His thin, scholarly face looked drawn and worn in the mid-day glare. A tiredness in the eyes told graphically of a sleepless night. "I'm glad to see you, Langford," he said. "It was good of you to come. Leave your horse for Mary. She'll give her water when she's cooled off a bit." "YOB sent for me, Williston?" asked the young man, rubbing his face affec tionately against the wet neck of his mare. "I did. It was good of you to come to soon." "Fortunately your messenger found me at home. As for the rest, Sade, here, hasn't her beat in the cow country, if she is only a cow pony, eh, Sadie r* At that moment Mary Williston came into the open doorway of the rude claim shanty set down in the very heart of the sun-seared plain which stretched away into heart-chok ing distances from every possible point of the compass. And sweet she was to look upon, though tanned and glowing from close association with the ardent sun and riotous wind. Her auburn hair, more reddish on the endges from sunburn, was tine and soft and there was much of it.it seemed newly brushed and suspicious ly glossy. One sees far on the plains, and two years out of civilization are not enough to make a girl forget the use of a mirror, even if it be but a broken sliver, propped up on a pine board dressing table. She looked strangely grown-up despite her short, rough skirt and badly scuffed leather riding leggings. Langford stared at her with a startled look of mingled admiration and astonishment. She came forward and put her hand on the mare's bridle. She was not em barrassed in the least. But the color came into the stranger's face. He swept his wide hat from his head quickly. "No indeed, Miss Williston; I'll water Sade myself." "Please let me. I'd love to." "She's used to it, Langford," said Williston in his quiet, gentlemanly volco, the well-bred cadence of which spoke of a training far removed from the harassments and harshnesses of life in this plains country. "You see, she is the only boy I have. She must of necessity be my chore boy as well as my herd boy. In her leisure mo ments she holds down her kitchen claim; I don't know how she does it, but sbe does. You had better let her do It; she will hold it against you if you don't." "But I couldn't have a woman do ing my grooming for me. Why, the verry idea!" He sprang into the saddle. "But you waited for me to do it," said the girl, looking up at him cu riously. "I)ld I? I didn't mean to. Yes, I did, too. But I beg your .pardon. You see —say, look here; are you the 'little girl' who left word for me this morn ing?" "Yes. Why not?" "Well, you see," smiling, but apolo getic, "one of the boys said that Wil llston's little girl had ridden over and said her father wanted to see me as soon as I could come. So, you see, I thought " "Dad always calls me that, so most of the people around here do, too. It is very silly." "I don't think so at all. I only wonder why I have not known about you before," with a frank smile. "It must be because I've been away so much of the time lately. Why didn't you wait for me?" he asked suddenly. "Ten miles Is a sort of a lonesome run—for a girl." "I did wait a while," said Mary, honestly, "but you didn't seem in any hurry. I expect you didn't care to be bored that lung way with the silly chatter of a 'little girl.' " "Well," said Langford, ruefully, "I'm afraid I did feel a little relieved when I found you had not waited. I never will again. I do beg your pardon," he called, laughingly, over his shoulder as he galloped away to the spring. When he returned there was no one to receive him but Williston. To gether JJiey entered ths house. It waa CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FE3RUARY 6, 1908 a small room Into which Langford was ushered. It was also very plain. It was more than that, it was shabby. An easy chair or two that has sur vived the wreckage of the house of Wiiliston had been shipped to this "land of promise," together with a few other articles such as were abso lutely indispensable. The table was a big shipping box, though Langford did not notice that, for it was neatly covered with a moth-eaten plum-col ored felt cloth. A rug, crocheted out of parti-colored rags, a relic of Mary's conservative and thrifty grandmother, served as a carpet for the living room. A peep through the open door into the next and only other room disclosed glimpses of matting on the floor. There was a holy place •ven in this castaway house on the prairie. As the young man's careless eyes took in this new significance, the door closed softly. The "little girl" had shut herself in. The two men sat down at the table. It was hot. They were perspiring freely. The flies, swarming through the screeuless doorway, stung disa greeably. Laconically Wiiliston told his story. He wasted no words in the telling. In the presence of the man whose big success made his own pitiful failures incongruous, his sensitive scholar's nature had shut up like a clam. Langford's jaw was set. His young face was tense with interest. He had thrown his hat on the floor as he came in, as is the way with men who have lived much without women. He had a strong, bronzed face, with dare-devil eyes, blue they were, too, and he had a certain turn of the head, a mark of distinction which success always gives to her sons. He had big shoulders, clad in a blue flannel shirt open at the throat. In his absorption he had forgotten the "little girl" as complete ly as if she had, in very truth, been the 10-year-old of his imagination. How plainly he could see all the un holy situation —the handful of des perate men perfectly protected on the the little Island. One man sighting from behind a Cottonwood could play havoc with a whole sheriff's posse on that open stretch of sand-bar. Nothing but a surprise—and did these insolent men fear surprise? They had laughed at the suggestion of the near .',-v m I oj|jr "Who Could J R Be?" presence of an officer of the law. And did they not do well to laugh? Surely it was a joke, a good one, this idea of an officer's being where he was needed in Kemali county. "And my brand was on that spotted steer," he interrupted. "I know the creature —know him well. He has a mean eye. Had the gall to dispute the right of way with me once, not so long ago; either. He was in the cor ral at the time, but he's been on the range all summer. He may have the evil eye all right, but he's mine, bad eye and all; and what is mine, I will have. And is that the only original brand you saw?" "The only one," quietly, "unless the the J Ron that red steer when he got up was an original one." "J R? Who could J R bo?" "I couldn't say, but the man was —Jesse Black." "Jesse Black!" The repeated words were fairly spit out. "Jesse Black! I might have known. Who else bold enough to loot the Three Bars? But his day has come. Not a hair, nor a hide, not a hoof, not tallow enough to fry a flapjack shall be left on the Three Bars before he repents his insolence." "What will you do?" asked Willis ton. "What will you do?" retorted Lang ford. "I? What can I do?" in the vague, helpless manner of the dreamer. "Everything"—if you will," briefly. He snatched up his wide hat. "Where are you going?" asked Wii liston, curiously. "To see Dick Gordon before this day is an hour older. Will you come along?" "Ye —es," hesitatingly. "Gordon hasn't made much success of things so far, has he?" "Because you—and men like you— are under the thumb of men like Jesse Black," said Langford, curtly. "Afraid to peach for fear of antag onizing the gang. Afraid to vote against the tools of the cattle thieves for fear of antagonizing the gang. Afraid to call your souls your own for fear of antagonizing the gang. Your 'on the fence' policy didn't work very well this time, did it? You haven't found your cattle, havo you? The angel must have forgotten. Thought you were tainted of Egypt, eh?" "It is easy for you to talk," said Wii liston, simply. "It would be difficult if your bread and butter and you little sirl's as well depended on a scrawny little bunch like mine." "Maybe," said Langford, shrugging his shoulders. "Doesn't seem to have exempted you, though, does it? But Black Is 110 respecter of persons, you know. However, the time has come for Dick Gordon to show of what stuff he is made . It was for this that I worked for his election, though I con fess I little thought at the time that proofs for him would be furnished from my own herds. Present condi tions humiliate me utterly. Am I a weakling that they should exist? Are we all weaklings? " A faint, appreciative smile passed over Wiiliston's face. No, Langford (lid not look a weakling, neither had the professed humiliation lowotuk' his proud head. Langford strode to the door. Then he turned quickly. "Look here, Wiiliston, I shall make you angry, I suppose, but it has togo in the cattle country, and you little fellows haven't shown up very white in these deals; you know that your self." "Well?" "Are you going to stand pat with us?" "If you mean, am I going to tell what I know when called upon," an swered Wiiliston, with a simple dig nity that made Langford color with sudden shame, "I am. There are many of us 'little fellows' who would have been glad to stand up against the rustling outrages long ago had we re ceived any backing. The moral sup port of men of your class has not been what you might call a sort of 'on the spot' support, now, has it?" relapsing Into a gentle sarcasm. "At least, un til you came to the front," he quali fied. "You will not be the loser, and there's my hand on it," said Lang ford, frankly and earnestly, ignoring the latter part of the speech. "The Three Bars never forgets a friend. They may do you before we are through with them, Wiiliston, but re member, the Three Bars never for gets." Mary Wiiliston, from her window, as is the way with a maid, watched tho two horsemen for many a mile as they galloped away She followed them with her eyes while they slowly be came faint, moving specks in the level distance and until they were altogeth er blotted* out, and there was no sign of living thing on the plain that stretched between. But Paul Lang ford, as is the way with a man, for got that he had seen a beautiful girl, and had thrilled to her glance. He looked back not once as he urged his trusty little mare onto see Dick Gordon. (TO BE CONTINUED.) AS EXPLAINED BY THE EDITOR. Drastic Action Evidently Was Neces sary, and It Was Taken. The Buie's Creek (S. C.) Index to the Times recently came out with a double-leaded editorial as follows; "We wish to make our abject apolo gies to Hon. Hezelciah E. Kinney for having said of him in our last Is sue that he 'fumigates his garments.' What we meant to say was 'fulminates uis arguments.' We have had our eye on the printer ever since he twisted a phrase which appeared In an editorial of ours from 'full of internal rotten ness and dead men's bones' into In ternal rattlesnakes and dead wren's tones.' And as soon as our eye lit upon this gratuitous insult above to the Hon. Hezekiah E. Kinney we armed ourselves with our repeating shotgun, sought out the guilty party and shot him down in cold blood, not withstanding the fact that the now deceased was the only support of a widowed mother and possessed a large and flourishing family. We wish to assure the Hon. Hezekiah E. Kinney that in the future his person and his speeches will be handled in these col umns with respect."—New York Press. A Backwoods Humorist. The eastern tourists decided to have a little fun with a Blllville citizen to whom they had applied for informa tion as to the road they were travel ing. "How long have you lived here?" they asked. "Long enough to know better." "Don't you like the country?" "When it goes to suit me." "Ever been up in an airship?" "No. When I make up my mind to fly, I'll know wliar to light." "Ever ride on a railroad train?" "No. Nlghest I ever come to it wuz bein' blowed up by a sawmill." "Well, tell us what 'moonshine' liquor means." The Blllville man shifted his "chaw" of tobacco from one jaw to the other, spat on the greensward, and as lie prepared to climb a fence, said: "H —1, and a heap of it!" —Atlanta Constitution. Turkish Labor Too Cheap. An American manufacturer of laun dry machinery tried to introduce it into Smyrna, Turkey, but Consul Ernest L. Harris has reported that so long as the price of iabor in that Turkish city remains so low the prac tice will continue of doing the wash ing at home, and there will be no op portunity for the sale of laundry ma chinery. Of late years in Smyrna it has become the practice, he says, to a certain extent to send the washed linen to public laundries for ironing and starching, but even this is ceas ing. Specifications were drawn up for the establishment of a laundry after tiie American plan, and careful consid eration was given to the price of coal and labor. It was found that the mar gin was so small that the undertaking was bound to be a failure. LAYING A TILE DRAIN. How the Work Can Ba Done the Most Satisfactorily. Secure a tile scoop and narrow pointed spade, and if you are cutting wild grass turf, keep a file near to occasionally touch up the edge. Watch for inequal ities In surface as Xyou proceed. Cut no wider than will accommodate your . feet, then care- JSk— fully grade bottom I the first course b. as it is much eas- | \g!■ * \ ier to take out the • Inequalities now j Q the bottom of Scoop and Tile, the ditch. This advice, when I began, would have been worth SSO to me, says a writer in Farm and Home. The second course need not be so wide, If for laterals, and you need not cut the sides, but thrust your spade in, cutting lightly on one side and deeper on the other; then contrarlewise push forward to break loose, then lift out. Keep your scoop lying near you. and when you have gone far enough so you can reach back, scoop out the crumbs before they become slushy. B« very precise with the spade In the last course. If you strike soft soil don't even allow a half-inch va riation. Then when the crumbs are removed the floor is almost ready to lay a perfect drain. True up bottom with scoop. Take a two-inch piece, re inforced at one end, ana nail or bolt a foot piece on this to hold the tile. Tuck them Into the trough and you'll have done one thing that will be a Joy forevermore. In meeting obstructions, if they do not throw you out of line too much, cut back under the bank six or eight feet on each side and you can get around nicely without removing them. A manure hook is very convenient for drawing in sods in filling, but on large jogs a plow with a long whlflle tree, or a road grader, can be used. FIGHT THE RODENTS. Inspect the Orchard Frequently Dur ing the Winter Months. Every man that has orchard trees should go over the orchard frequently in the winter to make sure that his trees are not being attacked by any kind of animals. If every man would do that, large numbers of trees would be Often the trees are being Injured under the crust of snow. One man had hundreds of small trees killed in a single winter. The snow lay a few inches deep and above it formed a strong crust. There was much grass in the orchard, and this formed the home of many field mice. They had become hungry and worked their way under the crust to the trees, which they proceeded to attack under the snow. Had the owner dug away the snow from around his trees enough to make sure they were not being attacked, the mice would have been discovered at work, and their mischief stopped before it had gone far. On plowed land or In orchards where clean culture has been fol lowed, there is little danger of this, but most of the orchards are in grass and so are liable to these attacks. TACKLE FOR LIFTING BARRELS. Try This Method of Handling th» Keavy Barrels and Putting in Barn. Where a man has occasion to lift a heavy barrel, either filled or empty, * from one floor to another or from a wagon to the sec ond floor of a 9 building, a tackle At made and arranged after the method shown In the ac- companytng illus -1 tration will be life - /fffil * oun d to be a y|~—ltHll thing of great con venience. I think, says the correspondent of Prairie Farmer, that the general idea is quite clearly brought out in the sketch. All that is necssary are two hooks to catch onto the chime of a barrel. These hooks connected with a short rope, which is in turn connected with the tackle rope. THIS AND THAT. It pays to have good fences at all seasons of the year. A poor old lantern is a bad thing togo through the winter with. Throw it away and buy a good one. Fall plowing kills many injurious insects, which are thus turned up to the air and tho frosts. It makes a great difference what variety of a plant is grown on a farm, aa some yield twice as much as others. There is a great fight on between commercial fertilizers and tho ma nure spreader. The latter, however, seems to be still spreading. After finishing the fall plowing clean up the plow, grease the bright parts and put it away dry, so it will be ready to use in the aprlng.
