6 HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA. Dread Disease Robbed of It* Terror* by Simple Remedy. Owing to the prevalence of pneu monia and the great mortality which attends its ravages during the winter and spring, several boards of health fii northern New Jersey have been tak ing measures to protect the citizens of their towns from the disease. The toeailh board of Washington, N. J., has published a remedy which Is said to be a sure euro for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the eanie thing published for the good of the general public. This is the pub- j Jication as it has appeared in the pa- j pers of Washington: "Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a Largs spider over a hot fire, then add the tsame quantity of rye meal and vine- ! gar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile stir it thoroughly, let- j ting it simmer five or ten minutes. | Then putin a cotton bag large enough i to cover the lungs and apply to chest as hot as patient can bear. In about ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but con tinue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest. This rem edy was formulated many years ago by one of the best physicians New England has ever known, who nevei lost a patient by the disease, and won bis renown by simple rem«di<t«."

How It Works. Once there was a struggling young author who was blest with many friends, all of whom told him that h« was the coming great writer of ths country. So one day a bright thought struck him. He said: "I will publish my book, and all my friends who admire it so much will buy my book, and I will be rich." So he printed his book. And all of his friends waited foi him to send them autographed eopiei of his book. And so his books were sold as junk. And ever after he didn't have any friends.—Success. A Family Matter.

Cattle thieves despoiling ranches of Couth Dakota. George \\ illiston, small ranchman, runs into rendezvous of thiews on island in Missouri river. They have stolen cattle from Three Bar ranch. Laiigfonl visits Williston and his daugh ter. and Williston reports what he has seen to Langford, who determines to rid country of thieves. Jesse Black heads out laws. Langford falls in love with Willis ton's daughter, hut does not tell her so. I.ouise Dale, court stenographer, and niece of Judge Dale, visits Keinah at re quest of county attorney, Gordon, to take testimony in preliminary hearing. Gordon falls in love with her. Afti r preliminary examination Wiliiston's home is attacked and defended by his daughter and him self. Outlaws fire building just as Lang ford and his cowboys arrive. Outlaws carry off Williston but Langford rescues Ihe daughter. Without Williston evidence igainst Black is meager, and case seems to be going against the -state. Gordon takes a night rido and linds Williston, who has escaped from captors. The courthouse at Kemali burns at night. Williston holds a tea parly in his room following courthouse fire, and Mary Wil liston and I.ouise Dale attend. Court con venes in the church, and Wiliiston's tes timony is Introduced by Gordon. Black, seeing his case lost, makes break for lib erty. CHAPTER XlX.—Continued. It was a girl's voice, clear and Ann. Mary had been the first to realize that Black's friends, not Langford's had joined in the struggle. She snatched her revolver from her cowboy belt— she had not been without either since the Lazy S was burned—and cried out her challenge. Glancing quickly from the gleaming barrel to the determined face of the young girl, the men let go their hold of Langford and fell back precipitately. Instantly Langford sprang forward, but Black had made good use of his moment of grace. Swinging his arms to the right and left, he had beaten his way to the window, when Langford again seized him, but he hed the ad vantage this time and he tore himself loose, throwing Langford violently against the window-casing. With his bare, clinched fist he shivered the glass and leaped out—into the arms of Jim Munson. The officers made gallant plunges i through the sampeded crowd in their j efforts to get clear of the room to fol low the fugitive. But certain men managed to keep themselves clumsily, but with marvelous adroitness, never theless, between the deputies and the doors and windows, so that several moments elapsed before the outside i wag finally gained. Meanwhile Jim struggled heroically | with the outlaw. Black was far su | perior to him in weight and strength ' of limb, but Jim was quick and tough and daring. Expelled from the court room, he had been watching through the window. He had seen Mary's quick action and his boss's splendid attack. He had also seen the little "gun play," and his eyes glowed in ad miration of "Wiliiston's little girl," though his generous heart ached for love of the woman who was not for him. He saw Black coming. He was ready for him. He grappled with him at once. If the boss or the officers would only come now! When they did come they found Jim stretched at length on the frozen ground. He sat up slowly. "You're too late, boys," he said; "the hoss thief was too much for me. He's gone." It was true. The little street stretched before them still —deserted. Early twilight was coming on. The j biting cold struck them broadside. [ The deputies scattered in vain pur suit. CHAPTER XX. The Moving Shadow. "I'd rather not talk about it to-night. I'm not equal to it. It's too —too—it's devilish, Paul. I don't seem to be able to grasp it. I can't think about it I with any coherence. I was sure—so I sure." Gordon was staring moodily out of the window, one arm hanging idly over the back of his chair. He had taken up office room in an empty shop building across the street from the hotel. "It's so devilish, it's weird," agreed the ranchman. "But your part was great. You vanquished Jesse Black. That is more than we hoped for a week ago. Is it your fault or mine that those fool deputies acted like flies in tangle-foot and went spraddle flngered when something was expect ed of them? We have nothing to do with a little thing like a broken win dow-pane." There was an ugly cut on his fore head caused by his violent contact with the sharp edge of the window casing. He was pale, but he had lost none of the old faith in himself or in his power to dominate affairs in the cattle country. Defeat was intolerable to him. He refused to bow his head to it. To-day's check only made him the more determined, if that were poiisliito to free the land of its shame. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1908. "I'll pu!! myself together again, never fear," said Gordon. "Just give me to-night. You see that's not all. I've something else to think about, too, now that 1 have time. It takes a fellow's nerve away to have every thing that, is worth while drop out at once. But I've rallied before. I know I'm beastly selfish not to talk to you to-night, but " "Dick," interrupted Langford, blunt ly, "did she turn you down?" "I never asked her. She is going back —home—next week." "If you let. her." "You don't quite unerstand, Paul," said Gordon, a little wearily. "She said she could never live in this coun try—never. She would die here. Could 1 ask her after that? Could 1 ask any way, and he a man? I know. She would just pine away." "Girls don't pine—only in imagina tion. They are tougher than you give them credit for." "But somehow, Mary seems differ ent," said Gordon, thoughtfully. He surprised a flush in his friend's cheek. "You deserve her, old man, you'll be very happy. She is the right kind. I congratulate you with all my heart." An odd lump came into Langford's throat. Despite Gordon's vigorous and healthful manhood, there seemed al ways a certain pathos of life surround ing him. "I haven't asked her, either," con fessed Paul. "But you have made it possible for 1110 to do so—to-night— to-morrow —whenever I can find a chance. Take my advice, old man, don't let your girl go. You'll find she is the kind after all. You don't know her yet." Paul left the room, and Gordon paced the narrow confines of his shab by office —back and forth—inanv times. Then lie threw himself once more into his chair. The hours were long. He had all night to think about things. When morning came, all his weakness would be over. No one should ever again see him so un manned as Paul had seen him to night. And when Louise should go— his arms fell nervelessly to the table. He remained thus a moment, his eyes fixed and unseeing, and then his head dropped heavi'y upon his arms. Alone in the night Louise awoke. The Man Lifted His Arm. She found it impossible to fall asleep again. She was nervous. It must be something in the atmosphere. She tossed and tossed and flounced and flounced. She counted up to thou sands. She made her mind a blank so often that she flew to thinking to escape the emptiness of it. Still her eyes were wide and her mind fairly a-quiver with activity. She slipped out of bed. She would tire herself into sleep. She even dressed. She would show herself. If she must be a midnight prowler, she would wear the garments people affect when they have their thoughts and energies on matters mundane. Drawing the oil stove close to the window fronting the street, she sank into a chair, drew a heavy shawl over her shoulders, put her feet on the tiny fender and pre pared to fatigue herself into oblivion. A light shone from the window across the way. He was still at work, then. He ought not to sit up so late. No wonder he was looking so worn out lately. He ought to have some one to look after him. He never thought of himself. He never had time. She would talk to him about keeping such late hours—if she were not going back to God's country next week. Only next week! It was too good to be true —and yet she sighed. But there was no other way. She ought never to have come. She was not big enough. He, too, had told her she was not the kind. Doubtless, he knew. And she didn't belong to any body here. She was glad she was go ing back to where she belonged to somebody. She would never go away again. Was that Gordon passing back and forth in front of the window? Some thing must bo troubling him. Was it because Jesse Black had "escaped? But what a glorious vindication of his belief in the man's guilt had that afternoon been given! Nothing lacked there. Why should he be sorry? Sometimes, she thought he might care —that day crossing the river for in stance; but he was reserved —he never said —and it was much, much better that he did not care, now that she was going away and would never come back. There was nothing in all the world that could make her come back to this big, bleak, lonesome land where she belonged to nobody. But she was sorry for him. He looked sad and lonely. He didn't belong to any body here, either, yet he wasn't going to run away as she was. Well, but he wan a man, and men were different. And now she noticed that his head had sunk <kwa onto his arms. How still he sat! The minutes passed away. Still he sat motionless, his face buried. It was dark. The yellow gleam streaming out of the window only served to make the surrounding dark ness denser. The lamp on the table cast a pale circle immediately in front of the office. There was no other flicker of light on the street. Into this circle there moved a shadow. It retreated advanced again glided back into obscurity. Was it something alive, or did the moving of the lamp cause the shadows to thus skip about ? But the lamp had not been moved. It burned steadily in the same position. The relaxed form of the unconscious man was still bent over the table. Nothing had changed within. Prob ably some dog locked out for the night had trotted within the radius of light. Maybe a cotton-tail had hopped into the light for a second. Louise did not know whether rabbits ever came into the town, but it.was likely they did. It might have been one of the strayed cattle wandering about in search of food. That was the most probable sup position of all. Of coure it might have been only her imagination. The little pinch of fright engendered of the moving shadow and the eerie hour passed away. Her eyes grew pensive again. How still it was! Had Gor don fallen asleep? He lay so quietly. Had he grieved himself into slumber as a girl would do? No —men were not like that. Ah! There was the moving shad ow again! She caught her breath quickly. Then her eyes grew wide and fixed with terror. This time the shadow did not slink away again. It came near the window, crouching. Sud denly, it stood up straight. Merciful Father! Why is it that a human be ing, a creature of reason and judg ment, prowling about at unnatural hours, Inspires ten-fold more terror to his kind than does a brute in like cir cumstances of time and place? Louise tried to scream aloud. Her throat was parched. A sudden paralysis held her speechless. It was like a nightmare. She writhed and fought desperately to shake herself free of this dumb horror. The cold damp came out on her forehead. Afterward she remem bered that she knew the man and that It was this knowledge that had caused her nightmare of horror to be so un speakably dreadful. Now she was conscious only of the awfulness of not being able to cry out. If she could only awaken Mary! The man lifted his arm. He had something in his hand. Its terrible import broke the spell of her speechlessness. "Mary! Mary!" She thought she shrieked. In real ity she gasped out a broken whisper; but it thrilled so with terror and pleading that Mary was awakened on the instant. She sprang out of bed. As her bare feet touched the floor a pistol shot rang out close by. She had been trained to quick action, and superb health left no room for cob webs to linger in the brain when she was suddenly aroused. Slio had 110 need for explanations. The shot was enough. If more was needed there was the lighted window across the way and here was Louise crouched before their own. Swiftly and silently she seized her revolver from the bureau, glided to the window and fired three times in rapid succession, the reports mingling with the sound of shattered glass. "I think I hit him the second time, Louise," she said, with a dull calm. "I can't be sure." She lighted a lamp and began to dress mechanically. Louise stayed not to answer. In the hall she encountered Paul Langford, just as another shot rang out. ' Go back, Miss Dale," he criod, hur riedly but peremptorily. "You mustn't come. I am afraid there has been foul play." She looked at him. It hurt, that look. "He is dead," she whispered, "I am going to him," and glided away from his detaining hand. He hurried after her. Others had been aroused by the nearness of the pistol shots. Doors were thrown open. Voices demanded the meaning of the disturbance. Putting his arm around the trembling girl Langford hastened across the street with her. At the door of Gordon's office he paused. "I will go in first, Louise. You stay here." He spoke authoritatively; but she slipped in ahead of him. Her arms fell softly over the bowed shoulders. Her cheek dropped to the dark, gray streaked hair. There was little change, seemingly. The form was only a lit tle more relaxed, the attitude only a little more helpless. It seemed as if he might have been sleeping. There was a sound, a faint drip, drip, drip, in the room, it was steady, monoton ous, like drops falling from rain pipes after the storm is over. Langford opened the door. (TO BE CONTINUED.)
