THIN FOR YEARS--"BA)NS 22
POUNDS IN 23 DAYS"
Remaikable Experience of F. Oagnon
Builds Up Weight Won- •
derfully
"1 was all run down to the very bot
tom," writes F. Gagnon. "I hail to quit
work, I was so weak. Now,* thanks to
Sargol I look like a uew man. I gained
22 pounds in 23 days."
"Sargol has put 10 pounds on me In
14 days," states W. P. Roberts. "It
has made me sleep well, enjoy what I
»ie and enabled me to work with in
terest and pleasure."
"I weighed 132 pounds when 1 com
menced taking Sargol. After taking 20
days 1 weighed 144 pounds. Sargol is
the most wonderful preparation for flesh
building I have ever seen," declares D.
Martin, and ,1. Meier adds: "For the
• tast twenty veaTs have taken medicine
every day for indigestion and got thin
ner every year. I took Sargol for forty
days and feel better than T have felt in
twenty years. My weight has increased
from 150 to 170 pounds."
AVhen hundreds of men and women—
and there are hundreds, with more com
ing every day—living iu even' nook
and corner of this broad land, volun
tarily testify to weight increases rang
ing all the way from 10 to 33 pounds,
given them by Sargol, you must admit,
Mr. and Mrs. and Miss Thin Reader,
1 hat there must be something in this
Sargol method of flesh building after
all*
Hadn't you better look into it. just
as thousands of others have done.'
Many thin folks say: "I'd give most
anything to put on a little extra weight,
but when someone suggests a way they
exclaim. "Not a chance. Nothing will
make me plump. I'm built to stay
thin." Until you have tried Sargol you
<io not and cannot know that this is
t rue.
Sargol lias put pounds of healthy
"stay there" flesh on hundreds who
doubted, and in spite of their doubts.
You don't have to believe in Sargol to
grow plump from its use. You just take
it and watch weight pile up, hollows
vanish and vour figure round out to
pleasing and normal proportions. You
weigh yourself when you begin and
again when you finish and you let the
si ales tell the story.
Sargol is a tiny concentrated tab
let. You take one with every meal. It
mixes with the food you eat for the pur
pose of separating all of its flesh pro
ducing ingredients. It prepares these
fat-making elements in an easily assimi
lated form, which the blood can readily
absorb and carry all over your body.
Plump well-developed persons don't need
Saraol to produce this result. Their
assimilative machinery performs its
functions without aid. But thin folks'
assimilative organs do not. This fattv

that chap overpunished with a dose of

time to see old McAndrew. Von see.
Miss Pointarre. I've sot the cinch on
you."
She stood still for awhile. "I'll see
old man McAndrew," she cried sud
denly. "I'll lend. It's near enough
this way."
Joe turned after her. and I followed.
Without aronjfing MeAndrew's sus
picions. Joe -«ns(ied the girl as to his
Identity.
Before dnrsj she met us again.
"There'" she said, thrusting a packet
Into .foe's band. "But look out for
yourself! Attersou isn't he only iuau
who'd break the law for love of me.
Think ol' that at night in the lonely
bush!"
I saw her sharp white teeth grhid
together as the words came from be
tween them.
"My!" ejaculated November, looking
after her receding figure, "she's a bad
loser, ain't she. Mr. Quariteh?"
• »**»«*
We went back Into Quebec and Joe
made over to the bank the amount of
their loss as soon as Harris, the man
ager, agreed (rather against his will)
that no questions should be asked nor
action taken.
The same evening I. not being under
the same embargo regarding questions.
Inquired from Joe how in the world
the fair Phedre covered her tracks
from the canoe to where Atterson was
lying.
"That was simple for an active girl.
She walked ashore along the paddle.
»nd after her return to the canoe Ihrew
water upon the mark it made in the
mud. Didn't you notice how faint it
was?"
"But when she got on shore—how
did she hide her trail then?"
"It's not a new trick. She took a
couple of short logs with her in the
canoe. First she'd put oue down and
step onto it. then she'd put the other
one farther up and step onto that.
Next she'd lift the one behind, and so
on. Why did she do that? Well. I
reckon she thought the trick good
enough to blind Atterson. If he'd
found a woman's tracks after being
robbed he'd have suspected."
"But you said before we left Atter
*on's camp that whoever robbed him
was middle height, a light weight and
had black hair."
"Well, hadn't she? Light weight be
cause the logs wasn't much drove into
the ground, not tall since the marks of
them was so close together."
"But the biaek hair?"
Joe laughed. "That was the surest
thing of the lot and put me wise to it
and rhedre at the start. Twisted up
in the buckle of the pack she gave
j Atter c oti I found several strands of
splendid black hah - . She must 'a'

I "But. Joe. you also said at Red river
j that the person who robbed Atterson
! was not more than twenty-five years
I old?" «
j "Well, the hair proved it was a wom

clerk like Atterson have any truck with
a settler's girl? And them kind are
early ripe and go off their looks at
twenty-five. I guess, Mr. Quariteh, her
age was a pretty safe shot.
CHAPTER XII.
The Looted Island.
IT was a clear night, bright with
stars. Joe and I were sitting by
our camp lite near one of the fiords
of western Alaska, where we had
1 gone on a hunting expedition after the
great moose of the west.
I was talking when suddenly Joe
touched me.
"Shsh!" he whispered. "There's some
feller moving down by the creek."
We waited, and I was soon aware of
a figure advancing through the night.
Then a voice said. "Fine night,
mates," and a sinewy, long armed fel
low with a bushy red beard stepped
into the circle of light.
"The cold makes you keep your
hands in your pockets, don't it?" said
Joe gently. It does me."
I then noticed that both men were
covering each other with revolvers
through their pockets. 'lhe stranger
slowly drew out his hand.
"I'm John Stafford."
"This here is Mr. Quariteh of Que
bec. I'm his guide. We're come after
big game."
"I guess you're speaking truth. It's
up to me to apologize. I'm free to own
I wa;: doubtful about you. You'll un
derstand that whui 1 tell you what's
happened. Perhaps you've noticed an
island about eight miles off the coast,
lying nor' nor'west?"
"Sort of loaf shaped island? Yes."
"That's where I come from—Eel is
land. I have a fox farm there. I re
turned to if yesterday after a run
down to Valdez. When I went away a
fortnight ago 1 loft my inn it in oliMVje
of some of the finest black foxes be
tween this and Ungavn. 1 a:ot back to
find the foxes all killed and ray hired
man none—disappeared."
"Who was he?"
"An Aleut, called Saui. He's been in
my employ three years. I see what
you're thinking—that ho killed the fox
es. and I'd have thought that myself,
only I know he didn't."
"How's that?"
"One reason is that I own only one
boat, and when I went to the main
land last Friday week I took it. leav
ing Sam op the island. It's all of
seven miles from the coast, so he
couldn't have got away if lie wanted.
That. I say. is one reason why it
couldn't have been him. The other
reason's as good. I was decoyed away
so cleverly. Here's the letter that did
it:"
Sir—Your wife wants you to come down
at once. Slip's due for an operation in
the hospital here on Friday week, and
she's hard put to it to plan for the chil
dren till she gets about again. So you'd
best come. Yours truly.
S, MACFARIJANE (Doctor).
1 gave him back the letter. "Any
man would have gone on such news." I
said.
"Well, ( did." said Stafford savagely.
"I got that letter twelve days back,
and off I went hot foot, leaving Alet t
Sam in charge. It took me a wee.
Roing down. When 1 renched tiie house
where my wife is living, she was sti»-
prised to see file, and I showed her
the letter. You can guess. It was all
s plant! There wasn't any Dr. Mao
farlane. nor any operation, and bach
I came—record breaking travel—to Eel
Island. I found the place clean gutted.
Ail the blacks and silvers caught and
killed, and the skinned carcasses lying
around. And Aleut Sam vanished as
if he had never lived. It may have
been done for spite, but whoever he
was he lived in my cabin several days,
and slept in my bunk. I wonder what
he did with Sam. Knocked him on
the bead and heaved him in the sea
like as not. I'm nigh desperate. The
work of thwe years gone, three win
ters spent with Sam alone, like some
kind of a Crusoe and his man Friday,
and keeping my wife and two little
gals down at Vnldes."
"Look liere, ain't It n bit enrly In the
year to kill foxes?" said Joe. after a
pause.
"They'd have been worth 25 per cent
more in n mouth."
"Then why?"—
"Ret'nuse I couldn't have been de
coyed away except while the steamer
was running before the winter closed
down. See? Even as early as this lu
the year the pelts were worth $15,000."
"My!" said Joe. "Suspect any one

Rose Stahl
Channing Pollock and liennold Wolf
have achieved countrv-wide fame as
collaborators, their principal work hav
ing been on musical plays, but it is
said that in "A 'Perfect Lady," the
new comedy in which Miss' Rose Stahl
will appear at the Majestic this oven
ing the authors have done the best
work of their career. Mr. Pollock by
himself lias written many well-known
plays, among the more popular of which
will be found "A Game of Hearts,"
"Clothes," "The Pit," "The Great
Adventure," "The Traitor," "The In
ner Shrine," "In the Bishop's Car
riage," "The Secret Orchard," "The
little Gray Lady" and "Such a Little
Queen." Many of these pieces have
been used for making moving pictures.
Miss Beatrice Noyes, who will have
an important part in Miss Rose Stall I's
new play, has played many important
parts in recent years. Miss Noyes was
with "The First Lady in the Land,"
" The Country Boy," " The Commut
ers, "The Cave Man" and other plays
produced by the late Henry B. Har
ris. Last season she distinguished
herself by her interpretation of the
part of Aggie in "Within the Law."
In "A Perfect Lady" it is said that
Miss Noyos has a part which will give
her many opportunities to display her
talents fov comedy. Adv.
"The Shepherd of the Hills"
No modern writer of fiction can claim
as many readers as Harold Bell
Wright, his books having sold into the
millions. The most popular of the
Wright no\els, ''The Shepherd of the
Hills," has been made into a play by
Mr. Wright, with the assistance of Kls-
Iberv W. Reynolds. The second presen
tation of "The Shepherd of the Hills"
•in this city will be given at the Ma
jestic Monday, with a special matinee.
The story has been so widely read tha/t
a resume of it is practically unneces
sary. It is a storv of the Oxark moun
tains and of a people that live whole
some, clean lives, who do big things in
a matter-of-fact, manner. It is a play
that makes its auditor a better man
or woman for having seen it. Adv.
Fritzi Scheff
Fritzi SchelT in " Pretty Mrs. Smith"
will foe seen at the Majestic Wednes
day evening, coming direct from the
' asino theatre, Now York. "Pretty
Mrs. Smith" is a musical play in three
acts. Books by Oliver Monosco and El
mer Harris, lyrics by Karl Carroll and
is further elaborated by the tuneful
musical score of Henry James and Al
fred Robyn.
It is presented as something differ
ent in the way of light musical enter
tainment and is founded upon the ap
peal of a well-constructed comedy of
f#-cical leanings. There were numerous
musical additions, but these have been
subordinated to the main theme without
losing any of their catchiness. The
score serves to speed the action instead
of obtruding into the story.

vaudeville's funsters, continues to b
a laughing sensation at the Onpheun
His drolleries arc crisply new an
equally as funny, but his facial expre?
sions and manner of delivery are eve
funnier. Nat starts his audience laugl
ing the minute he strolls before th
footlights. With his "fried egg" ha
ragged togs and a million badges co\
ering his waistcoat, he comes out smi
ing and looking as happy as if he wer

tramp to be as happy as Nat Will
then there are a lot of tramps with a
