Ind amast before he realized. it "'0‘" was himself at the water's M; the trail abruptly endu. vaguely across toward the opposite Shore. Ere-n as he stood there. real- izing the futiiity of further pursuit amid the l'L'H-iZt- or sand dunes opposite, the sharp reports of two rifles reach- ed him, spurts of smoke rose from the farther bank. and a bullet chugged into the ground at his feet. while an- other sang sehrilly overhead. These shots, although neither came sufficiently near to be alarming. serv- ed to send Keith to cover. Cool head- ed and alert now, his first mad rage dissipated. he scanned. the opposite bank cauticnsly, but could nowhere discover any evidence of life. Little by little he comprehended the situa- tion, and decided upon his own ac- tion. The fugitives were aware of h'c- presence, and would prevent l" crossing the stream. yet they v.5.» not at all liable to return to this side and thus reveal their identity. To attempt any further advance would be madness. but he felt perfectly secure from molestation so long as he re- mained quietly on the north shore. Those shots vrere merely a warning to keep back; the very fact that the men firing kept concealed was proof positive that they simply wished to be left alone. They were not afraid of what he knew now. only desirous of not being seen. Confident as to this; he retrcutcai openly, without making the slightest effort to conceal his movements until he had r gained the scene 015 murder. In evidence of the truth of his theory no further shots were fired. and although he watched that omisosite sand bank carefully; not the slightest movement revealed the Presence of others.

They could not suspect that Keith had already stumbled upon in"; gun, and was determined to veriij The knowledge seemed to sear Keith’s brain with fire, and he sprang to his feet, hands clinched and eyes blazing. He could have believed this of Indians, it was according to their nature, their method of warfare; but the cowardliness of it, the atrocity of the act, as perpetrated by men of his own race. instantly aroused within him a desire for vengeance. He wanted to run the fellows down, to discover their identity. Without thinking of personal danger he ran forward on their trail, which led di- rectly westward, along the line of cottonwoods. These served to con- ceal his oW‘n movements, yet for the moment, burning with passion, he was utterly without caution, without slightest sense of peril. He must know who was guilty of such a crime; he felt capable of killing them even as he would venemous snakes. It was a perfectly plain trail to follow, for the fugitives, apparently convinced of safety, and confident their cowardly deed would be charged to Indian raid- ers, had made no particular effort at concealment, but had ridden away at a gallop, their horses’ hooi’s digging deeply'into the soft turf. On this re- treat they had followed (10937:: silo-7“ no mu. r‘lfly teat beyond, 6116? in. the back, lay a younger man, doubled up in a heap, also scalped and dead. That was all; Keith scouted over a wide circle, even scanning the stretch of gravel under the river bank, before he could fully satisfy himself there were no others in the party. It seem- ed impossible that these two traveling alone would have ventured upon such a trip in the face of known Indian hostility. Yet they must have done so, and once again his lips muttered: “Of all the blame fools!” Suddenly he halted, staring about over the prairie, obsessed by a new thought, an aroused suspicion. There had appeared merely the hoof-prints of the one horse alongside of the flee- ing wagons when they first turned out from the trail, and that horse had been newly shod. But there were two dead ponies lying back yonder; neith- er shod, yet both had borne saddles. More than this, they had been spur- red, the blood marks still plainly vis- ible, and one of them was branded; he revnbered it now, a star and ar- row. What could all this portend? Was it possible this attack was no Indian affair after all? Was the dis- figuring of bodies, the scalping, mere- ly done to make it appear the act of savages? Driven to investigation by this suspicion, he passed again over the trampled ground, marking this time'every separate indentation, ev- ery faintest imprint of hoof or foot. There was no impression of a mocca- sin anywhere; every mark remaining was of booted feet. The inference was sufficiently plainâ€"this had been the deed of white men, not of red; foul murder, and not savage war. KEITH OF *1 THE BORDER C’ontin uerodfmnage 1163 FE Continued from page 9*.

Keith was a long time opening this, the spring being.- very ingeniously concealed, but upon finally succeeding, he looked upon t?- e features of a woman of middle age. a strong mature face of marked ro- finement, exceedingly attractive still. with smiling dark eyes. and a perfect wealth of reddish brown hair.

Something about that face smiling up into his own held peculiar fascination for him, gripping him with a strange feeling of familiarity. touch-- 1ng some dim memory which failed to respond.

The Pulse Watch. Among the ingenious devices for the physician may be mentioned a watch constructed on the “stop” principle whereby the number of pulse beats per minute may be indicated. A push but- ton is pressed at the beginning of the count and again at the twentieth pul- sation, when the number of beats per minute is shown on a dial without the necessity for calculation. Still another push on the button brings the counter back to the starting point. In the ordi- nary method of taking the pulse the observer is obliged to do two things at the same timeâ€"count the beats and keep his eye on the second hand of his watch. With the pulse watch only one operation is necessary. the counting of the pulsation up to twenty, when the push button is pressedâ€"New York Press. London Street Beggars. Speaking of the swarm or beggars and “panhandlers” in the English me- tropolis, the London Times says: “The streets or London never fail to attract the professional beggar and never dis- appoint him. The Mendicity society tells us that a beggar can earn more than the wages of the average working- man and that ‘it is probably no exag- geration to say that well over $500,000 is given away haphazard to beggars in the streets of London every year: ” A BLOOD D-ICINE WITHOUT ALCOHOL. Recently it has been definitly proven by experiments on animals that alcohol lowers the germicidal power of the body and that alcohol paralyzes the. white cor- puscles of the blood and renders them unable to take up and destroy disease germs. Disease germs cause the death of over one-half of the human race. .A blood medicine, made entirely without alcohol, which is a pure glyceric ex- tract of roots, such as Bloodroot, Queen’s root, Golden Seal root, Mandrake and Stone root, has been extensively sold by druggists for the past forty years as Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. The refreshing influence of this extract is like Nature’s influenceâ€"the blood is bathed in the tonic which gives life to the bloodâ€" the vital fires of the body burn brighter and their increased activity consumes the tissue rubbish which has accumulated during the winter. 7 Dr. R.
