Then found simple treatment
that gave immediate relief
For years a prominent man of Town
send, Va., suffered the most torturing
pain from rheumatism. When he lay
down at night he could not sleep for the
leepfo
aching in joints and muscles. Then he
began using Sloan’s Liniment and it
gave him relief at once.
“I want to say that Sloan’s is the
greatest rheumatism medicine that is
on the market today. I tried every
medicine that was recommended to
me but Sloan’s is the only one that
did me any real good,” he writes.
Sloan’s gives real help because it
doesn’t just deaden the nerves. By
stimulating the circulation, it helps
the body to clear out the poisons that
are causing the pain.
Just apply lightly without rubbing.
Right away you feel a gentle glow of
warmth and comfort, and in a short
time the pain stops. Get a bottle to
day. All druggists—35 cents.

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE:
It is 1868 and the Pacific railroad
, has reached its newest “farthest west”
|—Bencon, Wyoming, a town described
as ”i oaring,” as each new terminus,
I temporarily, was.
I -ank Beeson, a young men from

! sidcred ‘‘high and dry.”
| Edna Montoyo, a fellow passenger
on the train from Omaha, impresses
Beeson with the beauty of her blue
eyes and the style of her apparel.
Equally she astonished him by taking
a “smile” of brandy before breakfast.
A brakeman tells Beeson she has “fol
lowed her man” to Benton.
Jim, a typical western ruffian whom
she knows apparently well insults her
and is floored by Frank whose prow

I N the later years of life there is
apt to be a slowing up of the
bodily functions. Good elimination,
however, is just as essential to the
old as to the young. Many old folks
have learned the value of Doan’s

the kidneys is required. Scanty or

addressed Bill. “No? Then you, sir?”
He appealed to me. “No? But I’m a
mind-reader. I can tell by your eyes.
They’re upon the right-end card. Aha!
Correct. He had turned up the card
and shown the ace. “You should have
bet. Y'ou would have beaten me, sir.
Watch the ace! I pick up the cards.
Ace first—blessed ace; and the jacks.
Watch close. There you are.” He
briefly exposed the faces of the cards.
Keep your eyes upon the ace. Read}
—go!”
He spread the cards. As he had re
leased he had tilted them slightly, and

fell in the same order as arranged.
To that I would have sworn.

With my bulky parcel I sought &

hotel for bath and change of costume.
I had yet time Co array myself, as
an experiment and a lark; and that
I did, hurriedly tossing my old gar
ments upon bed and floor, in order to
invest with the new.
The third bed was occupied by a
plump, round-faced, dust-scalded man,
with piggish features accentuated by
his small bloodshot eyes; dressed in
Eastern mode.
“Hell of country, ain’t it!” he ob
served. “You a stranger, too? What’s

“Well, you don’t have to tell ’em,”
he granted. “Thought you was a

He did not finish. An uproar sound
ed above the other street clamor: a
pistol shot, and another—a chorus of
hoarse* shouts and shrill frightened
cries, the scurrying rush of feet, all
in the street; and in the hall of the
hotel, and the lobby below, the rush
of still more feet, booted, and the din
of excited voices.

I saw first a figure, bloody-chested

beyond, a man white as death, hustled
to and fro from clutching hands and
suddenly forced in firm grips up the
street, while the mob trailed after,
whooping, cursing, shrieking, flour

There were women as well as men in

All this turned me sick. From the'
