“If she’s happy, I’m a <Gila lizard,”
said Mormon. - “What’s the sense of
havin’ her miserable fo’ the sake of a
yiT book learnin’. She’s gettln’ to
spell so I can’t make out what she’s

made the basketball team and won
honors and favors. She gained laurels

CHAPTER XI
Pay Dirt.
In September there was a killing In
the Good Luck poolroom, the murder
of a stranger whose friends made such
an investigation, backed by the real
law-and-order element of Hereford,
that the exposure brought about for
feiture of all licenses and a strict shut
ting down on gambling and Illicit
liquor, riimsoll left Hereford for bis
htiVse ranch, deprived of the sheriff’s
the same way now. Speshully when
the courts hack up n man like Plim
soll. Lendls cheaper than rope, but
somehow It ninl, so convincin’.”
Brandon changed the subject after
he had spoken, but'it was plain that
he and his companions had not given
up the matter; cl«$nr also that they
were sure of. PHnisoll’s guilt and lay
ing plans to trap him. They stayed
until the next morning and departed.
The incident was forgotten as the
roundup days grew near. Molly was
not to come home at Christmas after
all. She formed a friendship, the first
close one she had made, and Barbara
Redding advised that the Invitation
extended by this new acquaintance to
spend the holidays be accepted.
Snows fell, the temperature ranged
dowft far below zero at times* winter
gave reluctant place to spring until the
last moment when It turned and fled
and,' far Into the desert, myriads of
flower-blooms sprang up overnight
■while everywhere the cactus gleamed
in silken blooms ^n yellow and crim
son.
One April night the Bailey flivver
came charging up to Three Star,
smothering Itself in a cloud of dust
that had Dot nettled l*efore there
sjirang out of ff Mlnmda Bailey and
with ’em la a smaner bunch that
thrives liest when things la nln h«phaa»
ard. There’ll be llrker down there, aa*
It’ll sure lw» qulckflre llrker at,that. If
you weren’t the kind you are,” added
Mormon, ’Td tell you that down there
ain’t no place fo’ n woman!”
"Meanln'?” 0 snapped Miranda Bailey.
But there was a gleam In her eye that
showed of a conipllin#nt accepted.
“Meanln’,*’ said Mormon, “that, ef
you’ll take It ’thout offense, you-all air
plumb up-to-date. When wimmen. took
up the ballot T figger they wasn't on’y
ready fo’ equal rights, they knew how
to git ’em. ’Side from the shoot in’ end
of it. I’d say you was as well equipped
as any man to look out fo’ yore own
Interests.”
“Thanks,” replied Miranda. “I sup
pose you mean that as a cdmpllmenL
Also I know one end of a gun/from an
other an' I can hit a barn if It ain’t
flyln’.”
They rolled down to the valley and
over the dusty road to the camp. Be
fore they reached the main street a car
passed them from behind with a rush,
driver and passengers reckless, whoop- |
ing as they rode, one man waving a
bottle, another firing his gun into the .
alr '
“That's the kind that’ll Agger to run
Dynamite fo* a. while,” said Sandy, j
“I’ll bet there ain’t twenty old-timers
In the camp—real miners. I mean.”
The street was alive with changing
groups, merging, breaking up to listen
to some fresh re|M»rt of a strike, or

98 OUT OF EVERY tOO
WOMEN BENEFITED
* •
An Absolutely Reliable Statement
Important to Every Woman
Remarkable Results Shown by a Nation
Wide* Canvass of Women Purchasers of
Lydia EL Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound. 50,000 Women Answer
For some time a circular has been
enclosed with each bottle of our med
icine bearing this question; “Have
you received benefit from taking
Lydia E. Pinkham’i Vegetable Com
pound?'’
Replies, to date, have been re
ceived from over 50,000 women an
swering that question.
98 per cent of which say
YES. That means that 98 out
of every lOO women who take
the medicine for the ailments
for which it is recommended
arc benefited by it.
This it a most remarkable record
of efficiency. We doubt if any other
medicine in the world equals it
Think of it — only two women out
of 100 received no benefit — W sue-
Oeeeet out of a poesible 100.
Did you ever hear anything like It?
We must admit that we, ouraelvee,
are astonished.
Of course we know that our medi
cine does benefit the large majority
of women who take iL But that only
two out of 100 received no benefit is
most astonishing.
It only goes to prtve, however,
that a medicine specialized for cer
tain definite ailments—not a cure all
—one that is made bv the most scien
tific process; not worn drugs, but
from a combination of natures root*
and herbs, can and doc* do more
good than hastily prepared prescrip
tions.
You see, we have been making,
improving and refining this medicine
for over 50 yean until it is so perfect
and so well adapted to women's needs
that it actually has the virtue to ben
efit 98 out of every 100 women who
take it.
Its rellabilitv sod .recognized effi
ciency has gained for it a sale In
almost everv country la the world
a ling all other*.
