of my own invention, and I'm proud
of it, old scout."
And while he talked my Gouver
neur Faulkner had prepared those
cradles of our blankets unstrapped
from the saddles of the horses at
feeding time, seated himself upon the
edge of one of them and began to
pull from his feet his riding boots.
"Take off your boots and your coat,
youngster and turn In. I'll take the
windward side, and you can bivouac
against the lire. Good night!" As he
finished spenking my Gouverneur
Faulkner rolled beneath that blan
ket upon the outer edge and left for
me the hammock next to the fire,
sheltered from a eool wind that had
begun to come up from the valley.
Almost immediately, so that I
should not have a fright, I lifted the j
blanket and crawled into the branch- j
es of the fragrant tree. Even as Ii
did so I perceived a loud breathing !
of deep sleep from my Gouverneur j
Faulkner, but to me came no repose I
for a long time.
The round sun was high over that
old Harpeth hill when I opened my
eyes. For a moment I did not see
clearly, and then I looked straight
into the deep eyes of my Gouverneur
Faulkner, which for that first time I
had been able to see to be the color
of violets in the twilight. He was
seated besldo me smoking the frag
rant pipe and looking down at me
with a great, wonderment that was
mingled with as gret a tenderness.
After a finish to the breakfast my
Gouverneur Faulkner gave to me the
information thf-.t we must tether the
good horses and make the remainder
of the journey by walking, which we
did for hardly a short hour.
"The wildcat still Is straight up |
Turkey gulch, and we'll have to;
scramble for it. It's hid like the nest [
of an old turkey hen." he said to me j
as we set out upon the mounting of
a very steep precipice.
"What is that word 'wildcat still ?
1 asked as I slid over a great roc *
with emerald moss incrusted and
struggled beside my Gouverneur
Faulkner through a heavy under
brush of leafy greenness.
"A place where men make whisky
in defiance of the law of their state,
he answered me as he held aside a
long branch of green that was pink
tipped so that I might slip there
under without a scratching.
"Are you not the law of the state,
my Gouverneur Faulkner?" I asked
of him as I pulled myself by his arm
through the thickness.
"I'm all that, but I'm the son of
old Harpeth and Jim Todd's blood
brother first. Some day I'll smoke
•lim out of his hole and get him a
good job. Now wait a minute and see ,
what happens." and as he spoke my i
Gouverneur Faulkner stood very still
for a long minute. As I sat at his side
upon the fallen trunk of a large tree
I regarded him with admiration, be
cause he had the aspect of some
beautiful lithe animal of the woods
as he listened with a deep attention.
Then very quickly he put his two
fingers to his mouth, and, behold,
the call of a wild bird came from
between his lips. Twice It was re
peated, and then he stood again in
deep attention. I made not even a
little breathing as I, too, listened.
Then came three clear notes of
that same wild bird in reply from
not very far up the mountain from
us.
"That's Jim, the old turkey. Come
on!" said my Gouverneur Faulkner
as he again began to break-through
the leafy barriers of the low trees.
And In a very short space of time
a man emerged from a little path
that led behind a tall cliff of the gray
rocks. He was a very large and a
very fierce man, and I might have
had a fright of him if his blue eyes
had not held such a kindness and
joy in them at tlie sight of my Gouv
erneur Faulkner.'
"Howdy, Bill," he said, with no
handshake or other form of a com
rade's greeting.
"Howdy. Jim," returned my
Gouverneur Faulkner In a manner
of the same indifference, but with an
expression in his face of delight at
the sight of his blood brother, that
Mr. Jim Todd.
"That thar boy a shet mouth?"
"He's Bob and as hard as a nut,"
wastlie introduction I had from my
Gouverneur Faulkner.
"Then come on," with which com
mand that wild man led us around
the tall cliff of gray rock, over which
climbed a sweet vine of rosy blos
soming, which I now know to call a
laurel, and we arrived in front of a
small and low hut that was built
against the rocks. A clear, small
stream made a very noisy way past
the door of the hut, but save for its
clamor all was silent.
"Where are the boys?" asked my
Gouverneur Faulkner.
"Hid in the bushes. I've got the

'low he ain't no revenue, but they
'low different. Come back and see if

"Come on, Robert," said my Gouv
erneur Faulkner to me as he follow
ed the wild Jim into the hut and
back into a room that was as a cave
cut into the rock. And I, Robert
Carruthers, followed him—to my
death.
Seated upon o. rude bench in that
cave room, bound with a rope of
great size, disheveled and soiled, but
with all of the nobility of his great
estate in his grave face, was my
adored Capitaine the Count de Las
selles! As we entered he rose beside
the bench and in that rising display
ed a chain by which one of his feet
was made fast to the rock of the
wall.
'"Good morning, sir," said my
Gouverneur Faulkner as if greeting
a gentleman upon the street of that
city of Hayesville.
"Also a good morning, sir," made
i*?ply my poor Capitaine the Court
de LasseUes. And he stood with a fine
and grjfat courtesy waiting for my
Gouverneur Faulkner to state to him
what his visit could portend, as
would hfe have done in his regimental
room at Tour.
And as he stood for that very long
minute there expired the last mom
ents of the life of Robert Carruthers.
A stream of light fell from the little
window high in the rock upon his
luckless head as he stood as if frozen
into a statue of great fear. And as
lie so stood the eyes of the Capitaine
the Count de Lasselles fell upon him,
and he started forward as far as the
j length of the chain by which he was
j bound would allow him and from
j there held out his hand to the frozen
| boy standing in the stream of light
i from high heaven.

Advice to the Lovelorn
love Cannot Be Forced
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Am seventeen, naturally attrac
tive and look about two years older.
I have an older sister, eight years
my senior. For the past few years
my sister has been going out with
a crowd of boys and girls enjoying
merely innocent fun. My sister has
a great liking for a young man. but
he has never shown the slightest
sign of reciprocation. He has ap
parently fallen in love with me, but
ir. view of the fact that my sister
likes him. my parents will not per
mit me to go out with him. Do
you think my people justified in act
ing: in this matter?
A constant Reader
I wonder if you are a selfish and
conceited girl or mearly an honest
youngster who happens to have at
tracted the man her sister likes and
who has a sensible recognition of
the fact that a man's liking cannot
be compelled. Perhaps this man
really is interested in you and in
that case forbidding him to see you
certainly will not add to his likinpr
for your sister. Perhaps however,
you have more or less "stolen" him
by youthful coquetty. I know too
little about the case to be willing
to sit as judge in your court of ap
peal.

"Helen, will you meet me down
town," said Viva's voice, strangely
sweet over the telephone. "I want to
take you up to tea at the studio of a
friend" of mine.
Helen had ben waiting for tills
invitation ever since Frances had
given out the information that Viva
was at last in love and with a poor
man.
"Of course I can," she returned
enthusiastically. "I think it is a j
great compliment that you are about
having me meet him."
"Of course I want you to meet
him. I suppose Frances has been
telling you things. She thinks the
world of you and your opinion."
Helen laughed. "But that isn't
why you want me to meet him, is
it?" Her tone was wistful. Some
how this Strang little girl had won
a real place in Helen's heart. She
had become interested in her in the
first place because she was so odd.
Then she had Intensely disliked her
because she had thought she was
forward and selfish, almost cruel, for
she had treated Frances abomin
ably.
Then her feeling underwent an
other change when she and Frances
made the compact to do something
to help Viva. The child had been
left very much to herself by her
parents, who had thought that al
lowing her to go her own way and
providing her with plenty of money
had been all that was necessary.
Viva's knowledge of life, gleaned
form her experience in a fashion
able finishing school, had almost
ruined her, but Frances had insist
ed that there was good in her and
had also insisted that Carp keep
inviting her to New York.
And certainly good had come out
of it, for if nothing else had been
gained, there was no gainsaying the
fact that Viva had capitulated to
Frances. Whether or not she would
accept Helen as a friend was an
other thing: it was at present suffi
cient for Viva that Frances had ask
ed her to introduce her artist to
Helen.
"To tell you the truth, Viva,"
Frances had said bluntly, "I want
Mrs. Curti3 to see you have It in
you to care for a real man, after
all. She's as much lntersted in you
as I am."
The Viva of a few months back
would have replied pertly, but the
.new Viva, the Viva who knew what
It was to love for love itself, laugh
ed, and laughed with all the ardor
of youth, too. and a wholesome ab
sence of artificiality.
Viva escorted Helen into a dark
side street and up a few stone steps
into a dark hallway. Helen was un
deniably astonished.
Viva turned to her laughingly as
they began to go upstairs. "You
didn't expect to find this, did you?"
Helen flushed.
"I thought it was awful, too, when
I first saw it," the girl confessed.
"But I'm used to it now, and I don't
mind."
They reached the top of the sec
ond flight now and turned to the
front of the house, Viva rapped
with the old-fashioned knocker, and
the door was flung open immediate
ly by a tall, slight man with the
most tensely eager face Helen had
ever seen. As Frances said, he wore
tortoise-shell glasses, and involun
tarily Helen glanced at his features,
which were not handsome, with the
exception of his mouth. The domi
nant characteristic about him was
the fact that he was so alive and,
Helen thought delightedly, exactly
the kind of a man she would have
chosen for Viva.
Helen turned from the introduc
tion to an inspection of the place. It
It had an immense skylight across
the front of It, and the walls were
covered with pastel drawings. Gor
geously colored stuffs were draped
over a model —stand, and easels of
all kinds stood against the walls or
were drawn partly out Into the room,
with half-finished pictures on them.
The room was delightfully untidy in
a picturesque kind of a way, and
Viva, who seemed perfectly at home,
was already beginning to get tea
ready on a little wicker table. Helen
dropped down on a couch nearby
and turned to the man, who had sat
down with her.
"J believe we have some frletids
in common, Mrs. Curtis," he said in
his slow, delightful way of talking.
"Jack Parmeleff?"
"Oh, do you know Anne and Jack
/ haven't seen them for ever so
long."
"They're pretty busy," the man
returned. "Yes, I know Jack very
well; he and I went to school to
gether In Chicago."
Helen liked the way he talked,
and the way hl long nervous fln-
Rers handled the drawings he show
ed to her. She liked his face and
there was a something genuine
about him that made her like the
man himself. Even his name was
singular, Hale Leonard. Somehow
it suited him perfectly.
The tea was delightfully Informal
and afterward Helen learned just
how artists really lived. The big
studio was where they ate and work
ed, but there was a kitchen of a sort
across the hall, and a couple of tiny
rooms just big enough for a couch.
It was all quite primitive, but very
interesting. Helen wondered if Viva
would be willing to live that way,
too, and smiled unbelievingly, only
to change her opinion and wonder if
the girl wouldn't do anything will
ingly as she caught the look on
Viva's face when she turned back to
listen to something the man was say
ing. Neither Viva nor her artist,
mentioned the fact that any engage
ment existed, so Helen Imagined
that it was still indefinite. Of course
there was a possibility that he would
be drafted, too. but Helen was cer
tain of one thing, and that was that
she most decidedly approved Viva's
choice.

will appear on this jwigc soon.)

Forestallers Drive Butter to

Eggs to Forty Cents Doz.
Scarcity of butter and eggs, with
early buying by forestallers forced
up to-day's market prices. Eggs sold
for forty cents a dozen, and butter
fifty cents a pound. Farmers blamed
egg prices on the high cost of feed,
but would not give reasons for
the high cost of butter.
City prices were also demanded for
milk. One farmer remarked, "ff milk
is worth ten cents a quart to your
city dealers, we have a right to ask
the same price." Chickens were
thirty-live and forty cents a pound
to-day. They were generally scarce
but here and there a stallful could
be found. New potatoes are becom

forty cents a peck to-day. Corn re

New Hair Remover In
Demand, Say Druggists
(I'helnctlneßemorrn Knots and A 11)
Since the virtues of phelactine as a
hair remover became generally
known, druggists in this country have
been having a really extraordinary
demand for this remarkable product.
The fact that It actually removes the
roots —before one's very eyes—as well
as the surface hairs, is of course main
ly responsible for its large and in
creasing sale. The new method is not
to be compared at all with the usual
depilatory, electrical or other pro
cesses. It Is entirely safe, non-irri
tating. non-poisonous, odorless—and
instantaneous! A stick of phelactine,
used in accordance with the simple in
structions which accompany it, can bo
purchased anywhere on a money-back
basis, so certain is it to satisfy and
delight the user.—Advertisement.

A reliable,
safe skin treatment
You need never hesitate to use
Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap
in the treatment of severe or simple

them to injure the tenderest surface.
Resinol
is a doctor's prescription which,.for
years, has been used by other physi
cians for eczema and other itching,
burning, unsightly skin affections.
They prescribe Resinol, knowing
that its remarkable soothing,healing
action is due to ingredients so gen

even to a baby's delicate skin.
All druggists sell Resinol Soap and Resinol

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes a Genuine Rem
edy For the Disease Has
Been Found.
Rheuma, the wonderful rheuma
tism remedy sold by H. C. Kennedy
and all druggists, gives quicker and
more lasting relief than other rem
edies costing many times as much.
Rheuma passes the deadly poison
ous secretions into the bowels and
kidneys from which they are quick
ly thrown off in a natural, healthy
way.
Read what a reputable physician
says about Rheuma: "I have made a
most careful investigation of the
formula employed in the manufac
ture of Rheuma, and I heartily rec
ommend it as a remedy for all forms
of rheumatism. I find Rheuma far
in advance of the methods generally
employed in the treatment of rheu
matism, and altogether different in
composition, from the remedies usu
ally prescribed."—Dr. Lyons.
This should give any sufferer froirt
rheumatism confidence to try Rheu

SANPAN IS BEST OF ALL
says Mr. Henry Pierson, 1118 Cum
berland street, Harrisburg. I ailed
for years with pains in my back and
shoulders. This would extend to the
cords in my back and they would be
come stiff and sore.
I felt tired and worn, was drowsy
and sleepy and lacked the punch.
My appetite went back on me, my
nerves went to pieces and on rising
in the morning my stomach fell
sore and I had a nasty taste in my
mouth.
I never felt right and tried th
various advertised medicines with no
result.
I saw a Sanpan advertisement and
a man who had been helped who
had symptoms like mine, so I gav
it a trial and it drove away all pain,
nervousness, stomach trouble and J
must say, Sanpan is the best of all. •
Sanpan is being introduced aa
usual at Keller's Drug Store, 40S
Market street, Harrisburg, Pa.,
where the Sanpan man is meeting
the people.—Adv.
