CHAPTER IX.-
Continued.
you see the eheriff at Kll-
When they sought a lonely siding
to allow a belated passenger train to
pass, the conductor brewed coffee and
cooked supper, and Ardmore called in
the detectives and trainmen. Tho
sense of knowing real people, whoso
dally occupations were so novel nnd
Interesting, touched him ufrewh with
delight. These men said much In few
words. One of the detectives chuffed
Cooke covertly about some adventure
in which they had been Jointly asso
ciated. "I never thought they'd got the lead
out of you after that business in MIs
sourl. You were u regular mine,"
Bald the detective to Cooke, and
ooke glanced deprecatlngly at Ard
more. "He's the little joker, all right."
."You can't kill him," remarked the
detective. "I've seen It tried."
Before the train started the detect
ives crawled back into their car, and
Cooke drew out Home blankets,
toiBed them on a bench for Ardmore,
and threw himself down without ado.
Ardmore held to his post in the tow
er, as lone as the lookout In a crow's
Best. The night air swept more cool
ly In as they neared the hills, and the
train's single brakeman came down
as though descending from the sky,
rubbed the cinders from his eyes, and
returned to his vigil armed with a
handful of Ardmore's cigars.
For the greater part of the night
they enjoyed a free track, and
tliiiPTcd the rails at a lively clip.
after midnight Ardmore
below and went to sleep. At
live o clock Coofto called him.
"We're on the, Bwitch at Klldare.
One of your men is hero waiting for
you."
Big Paul, the German forester, was
called in, a-'d Ardmore mnde his toilet
In a pall o' titer while listening to
the big v's report. Cooke
joined In the conversation, and Ard
more was gratified to see that the
two men met on common ground in
discussing the local geography. The
forester described in clear, straight
forward English just what he had
done. He had distributed his men
well through the hills, and they were
ow posted as pickets on points fa
vorable for observation. They had
found along tho Btreanis four widely
Scattered stills, and these were being
watched. Paul drew a small map
showing the homes of the most ac
five members of the Appleweight
Sang, and Ardmore indicated all these
points bb nearly aaa possible on tho
county mup ho had brought with him.
"Here's Kaccoon creek, und my
own land runs right through there
Just about here, isn't it Paul? I nl
ways remember the cret k, bectmsp I
like the name so much."
"You are right, Mr. Ardinoro. The
best timber you have lies along there
and your land cnnsscii the North Car
ollna boundary into South Caioliiui
about here. There's Mingo county
South Carolina, you see."
"Well, that clusheu me!" exclaimed
Ardmore, striking the talile with hi
fist. "I never i.new one slate from
another, but you must be right."
"I'm poslilv:! of It, Mr. Ardmore
One of my in' n bas been living there
on the cre U to protect your timber
tate."
"Did
dare?"
"I haven't seen him. When 1 arked
for him yesterday I found he hat' left
town and gone to Greensboro tc see
his sick uncle."
Ardmore laughed and slapped his
knee.
Who takes care or the dutv. tin
while he's away?"
"There lire no prisoners In the Kll
dare, Jail. The sherilT s afraid to .:cep
any; and he'si like the rest of the
people around here. They all live In
terror of Appleweight."
"Appleweight. Is a powerful charac
ter In these parts," said Cooke, pour
ing tho coffee lie hn." been making,
and handing a tin cupful to Ardmore.
"lie's tolerable well olT, and could
make money honestly If ho didn't op
erate stills, rob country Btores, mjx
up In politics, and steal horses when
ho and his friends need them."
"I guess he has never molested us
any, has he, Paul?" asked Ardmore,
not a little ashamed of his ignorance
of his own business.
"A few of our cows stray away
sometimes and never come back. And
for two years we have lost the corn
out of the crib away over here near
the deer park."
"We don't want to lose our right to
the track, and we must get out of this
before the whole community comes to
take a look at us," said Cooke, swing
ing out of the caboose.
Ardmore talked frankly to the for
ester, having constant recourse to the
map; and Paul sketched roughly a
new chart, making roads and paths
so far as he knew them, and Indicat
ing clearly where the Ardsley boun
daries extended. Then Ardmore took
blue pencil and drew a straight
line.
'When we get Appleweight, we
want to hurry him from Dllwell coun
ty. North Carolina, Into Mingo county,
South Carolina. We will go to the
utility town there, and put him in
Jail. If the sharlff of Mingo is weak-
kneed, we will lock Appleweight up
anyhow, and telegraph the governor
of South Carolina that tho Joke Is on
him."
'We will catch the man," said Paul
gravely, "but we may have to kill
him."
"Dead or alive, he's got. to be
caught," said Ardmore.
Cooke came out of tho station and
signaled tho engineer to go ahead
"We'll pull down here
miles to an old spur where the com
puny used to load wood. There's a
little valley there where we can be
hidden nil we please, so far us the
niiin line Is concerned, and it might
not be a bad Idea to establish head
quarters there. We have the tools for
cutting In on the telegraph, and we
can be as independent as we please.
I told the agent we 'were carrying
company powder for a blasting Job
down the line, and lie suspects noth
ing." Paul left the caboose as the train
started, iiinl rode away on horseback
to visit ills plckits. Tlie train crept
warily over the t pur Into the old
woodcutters' ciiup, where, as Cooke
had foieeasi. Ili v.e'v quite nil lit in
from the main lire by hills and wood

"And now. Mr. Ardmore, If you

"If you will walk to that -lump. Mr.
Ardmore. and feel under t: " vines on
the tight hf.nd side, your fiiuvis will
very likely touch Bonu '!:ltig smooth
and cool."
Ardmore obeyed instructions. He
thrust his hand Into the stump as
Cooke directed, thrust again a little
deeper, and laughed aie :d as he drew
out a little brown Jug
Cooke nodded approvingly.
"W e ro all right. I li revenue men
come in here occasionally and smash
the stills and arrest a few men, but
the little brown Jug continues to do
business at the same old stand. If
you have a dollar handy, slip it under
the Btump. so they'll know we're not
stingy."
Ardmore was scrutinizing tlie jug
critically.
"They're all alike," said Cooke, "but
that piece ol calico is a new one
ust a fancy touch for an extra fine
MTffele of Ilillor.'
"i ll be shot, if I haven't seen that
calico before," said Ardmore; and he
sat down on a boulder nnd drew out
the stopper, while Cooke watched him
with Interest.
The bit of twine was indubitably
the same thatJie had unwound before
In his room atT.be Guilford house, and
the cob patted in his fingers exactly
as before. On a piece of brown paper
that had been part of a tobacco wrap
per was scrawled:
This ain't yore fluM, Mr. Ardmore
Wher's the guvner of North Carolina?
"That's a new one on mo," laughed
Cooke. "You see, they know every
thing. Mind-reading isn't In It with
them. They know who are and
what we have come for. What's the
point about the governor?"
"Oh, the governor's all right," re
plied Ardmore carelessly. "He
wouldn't bother his head about a lit
tie matter like this. The powers re
served to the states by the constltu
tlon give a governor plenty of work
without acting as policeman of the
jungle. That's the reason I said to
Gov. Dangerfleld, 'Governor,' I said
'don't, worry about this Appleweight
business. Time Is heavy on my hands
I said ou stay in Raleigh and up

will take care of the trouble in Oil

Cooke, how his lace brightened n

is, you would naturally expect him t
come (low n here in person and seize
these scoundrels with his own hands.
1 had the hardest time of my life 'to
get li I in to stay at home. It almost
broke his heart not to come."
And as they retraced their steps to
tlie caboose, it was Ardmore who led,
stepping briskly along, and blithely
swinging the jug.
One From tlie Cashier.
Th harmless customer loaned
across the cigar counter and rmiled
engagingly at the new cai-hkr. As he
handed across the amount his dinner
check called for he ventured a bit of
aimless converge, for ho was of that

"Funay," said he, "how easy It Is to

fed his fare to the Segister, "If money

The League of Politeness.
The League of Politeness has been
formed in Berlin. It aims at Inculcat
ing better manners among the people
of Berlin. It was founded upon the
initiative of Fraulein Cecelle Meyer,
who was inspired by an existing or
ganization in Rome. In deference to
the parent organization the Berlin
league has chosen the Italian motto,
"Pro gentilezza." This will be em
blazoned upon an attractive little
medal worn where Germans are ac
customed to wear the Insignia of or
ders. The idea Is that a glaance at
the "talisman" will annihilate any in
clination to indulge in bad temper or
discourteous language. "Any polite
person" is eligible for membership.

Prof. Griswold Takes the Field.
itarbara nnd Griswold stopped at
the telegraph office on their way back
to the executive mansion, and were
met with news that the sheriff of
Mingo had refused to receive Oris
wold's message.
"His private Hues of communication
with the capital are doubtless well es
tablished," said Griswold, "and Bob
worth probably warned him, but it
Isn't of great importance. It's Just as
well for Appleweight and his friends,
high and low, to sliw their hands."
When they were again ou tho ver
anda, Griswold lingered for a moment
with no valid excuse for delay beyond
tho loveliness of the night and his
keen delight In Barbara's voice and
her occasional low laughter, which
was so pleasant to hear that he held
their talk to a light key, that ho might
evoke it the more.
"You have done all that could be
asked of you, Mr. Griswold, and I can
not permit you to remain longer. Fa
ther will certainly be here to-morrow."
"Oh, but your father isn't absent!

Add to Cost of Living.
The American Magazine reprints a
letter which was sent to the Massa
chusetts cost of living commission. It
goes as follows:
"It seems to me that the elimination
of waste is nearly impossible In house
holds where there are numerous serv
ants; at least, I have found it bo,
with only one, and the waste rises in
geometrical progression with the num
ber employed. I have now been doing
my own cooking for nearly a year and
I feed my family twice as well on
about two-thirds the cost. A large
part of the saving comes In the eco
nomical use of meat. I make a de
licious dinner with a few scraps of
rfleat that a cook would give to the
dog.
"Then I depend a good deal on
soups, which I invent to suit my
larder. A few cold baked beans, with
a little tomato and a bit of meat on a
bone, or a little left over gravy, mako
a soup that all eat with much pleasure
and It is so nourishing that It goes far
to mako tho dinner. Most people do
not understand bow different a soup
Is when it has simmered a good many
hours. The soup that has been boiled
fast a couple of hours will taste fiat
and uninteresting, whereas the same
soup flvo hours later will have such
a delicious blend of flavors that all
you know is that It Is nice without
being able to distinguish the Ingre
dients. Again It is time that counts.
Cooks waste the coffee and tea hor
ribly. Mix the coffee with cold water
the night before with an eggshell
and bring it to a boll In the morning
and you do not need a great deal for
a good oup of coffee. The tea in the
kitchen Is plied Into the teapot and
thrown out with but little of the good
ness extracted. Another frightful
waste U the coal. I use less than
half aa much as any girl I ever had
and my stove bakes better. I never

"Adam and Eve flat on their backs!

"Eggs up," said the young man.

"Why didn't you say so In the first

All Need the Earth.
"There Is an Antaeus In every one
of us and in , the whole of us which

arest Lloyd in bis posthumous book.
"A grandmother was spreading before
the vision of a beloved child a picture
of the beauties of heaven with its
gates of pearl and its pavements of
gold. 'What,' said the scornful boy,
unpactlvated, 'no mud? There spoke
the real philosopher. We are earth
animals, and we need contact with
all the aspects of nature, human na
ture, and other nature. They who
feed wholly on white bread and the
tenderloin and the sweetness and
light of the best people, art for the
art's sake, cannot get phosphates
enough and soon develop the rickets.
The man I heard say he liked to eat
with the common people once in a
while, the woman you heard say that
she thought It was her duty to as
sociate with the middle class, confess
the r.pproach of extinction. They are
losing touch with the aouroe of all per
sonal and social power."
Exaggeration.
On her arrival in New York Mme,
Sara Bernhardt, replying to a compli
ment on her youthful appearance,
said: "The secret of my youth? It
is the good God and then, you know,
I work all the time. But I am a
great-grandmother," she continued,
thoughtfully, "so how can these many
compliments be true? I am afraid my
friends are exaggerating."
Mme. Bernhardt's laugh, spontane
ous as a girl's, prompted a chorus of
"No, no!"
"Yes," said the actress, "uncon
scious exaggeration, like the French
nurse on the boulevard. Our boule
vards are much more crowded than
your streets, you know, and, although
we have numerous accidents, things
aren't quite as bad as the nurse sug
gested. "Her little charge, a boy of six,
begged her to stop a while in a crowd,
surrounding an automobile accident.
'Please wait,' the little boy said, 'Want
to see the man who was run over.'
'No; hurry,' his nurse answered.
'There will be plenty more to see

Fidelity to Parole.
Judge Crain of the Court of Gen
eral Sessions has just held a recep
tion more worthy of note than anj
Haruourg on the Kaiscrm Augusie v ic- i nan, banquet or other high function
torla. In fact, there was a series of
smaller lumps along his spine, much
like a mountain range, as it is present
ed on a bas-relief map.
The lumps were about the size of
good Oregon apples, and as Rosen
berg passed before the Immigration
loctor for observation, the doctor said
softly to himself, "See that lump."
Then he asked Mr. Rosenberg to step
aside.
"You seem like a healthy man,"
said the doctor, "but I cannot pass you
until I know the origin of those lumps
on your body." "Ah, it 1b not a sick
ness," laughed the man from Bavaria.
"Those swellings is money."
Taking off his coat he broke open a
sample lump and showed that it con
tained $500 In American bank notes.
Hs Informed the doctor that he had
$11,100 in all, with which he was go
ing to purchase an apple orchard In
Oregon.
He was admitted to the country.

Each of the company had been con

the law, and each had been permitted
to go out on parole of future good
behavior. Each had kept the faith.

Those who might have gone down In

Wliai Aiboust Brain Pood?
"V.'!V
This Question Came Up in the Recent
Trial for Libel.
A "Weekly" rrlnted some criticisms of the
claims made for our foods. It evidently did
nut fancy our reply printed In various news
papers, and brought suit for libel. At the trial
some interesting facts came out.
Some of the chemical and medical experts
differed widely.
The following facts, however, were quite
clearly established:
Analysis of brain by an unquestionable au
thority, Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts,
Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined (Phos
phate of Potash). 2 91 per cent of the total,
6 33 of all Mineral Salts.
This Is over one-half.
Beaunis, another authority, shows -'Phosphoric
A'cid combined" and Potash 73 44 per
teut Horn a total of 101.07.
Considerable more than one-half of Phos
phate of Potu-ih.
Analysts of Grape-Nuts shows: Potassium
and Phosphorus, (which join und make Phos
phate of Potash), Is considerabln more than
on half of nil the mineral salts in the fuod.
Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on tho con
stituent elements of tlni body, says: "Tho
gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely
by the Inorganic cell salt, Potassium Phosphate
(Phosphate of Potajh). This salt unites witli
albumen and by tho addition of oxygen creates
nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain.
Of course, there is a trace of other Halts and
other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potas
sium Phosphate is the chief factor, and has
ths power within lUelf to uttract, by its own
law of affinity, all things needed to manufac
ture the elixir of life."
Further on he says: "The beginning and end
of the matter is to supply the lacking princi
ple, and in molecular form, exactly as nature
furnishes It In vegetables, fruits and grain.
To supply deficiencies this la the only law of
cure."
The natural conclusion Is that If Phosphate
of Potash is the needed mineral element In
brain and you use food which does not contain
it, you have brain fag because its daily loss Is
not supplied.
On tbe contrary, if you eat food known to
be rich in this element, you place before the
life forces that which nature demands for
brain-building.
In tl'.e trial a sneer was uttered because Mr.
Font announced that be bad made years of re
search In this country and some clinics of
Europe, regarding the effect of the mind ou
digestion of food.
Hut we must be patient with those who
sneer at facts they know nothing about.
Mind does not work well on a bruin that is
broken down by lack vt nourishment.
A peaceful and evenly polsud mind Is neces
sary to food digestion.
Worry, unxiety, fear, hate, &c., &c, directly
interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalin, the
digestive Juice of the mouth, and also inter
fere wl'h the flow of the digestive juices of
stomach and pancreas. ,
Therefore, the mentul state of the Individual
has much to do (mora than suspected) with
digestion.
This trial has demonstrated:
That Brain Is mado of Phosphate of Potash
as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albu
men and water.
That Grape-Nuts contains that element as
more than one-half of all Its mineral salts. '
A healthy brain Is Important, If one would
"do things" in this world.
A man who sneers at "Mind" sneers at the
best and least understood part of himself.
That part which some fulks believe links us to
the Infinite.
Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to
act, and Nature bas defined a way to make a
reality brain and renew it day by day as It
is used up from work of the previous day.
Nature's way to rebuild Is by the use of food
which fcupplk' tbe things required.
