! DAKOTA COUNTY HERALD; DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA. HEART OF THE SUNSET By Rex Beach ALAIRE AUSTIN AROUSES THE BRUTAL COVETOUSNESS IN GENERAL LONGORIO'S NATURE AND HE BE GINS TO PLAN ACCORDINGLY Mrs. Alalrc Austin, n handsome young matron, mistress of Las l'ulmns ranch, gets lost In the Texas desert and after an all-day struggle wanders Into the llttlo camp of David Law, a ranger, hunting n Mexican murderer. Circumstances force her to stay 21 hours In the camp. Law catches his man, kills another and es corts her home. "Young Ed" Austin, drunken wastrel, berates his wife and makes insinuations about the ranger. Austin Is se cretly In league with Mexican rebels. Alalre starts for her ranch Ln Fcrla, In federal Mexican territory, to sccuro damages for cat tlo confiscated by soldiery. CHAPTER V Continued. "I was coming to that. Your hus band, senora, Is an active Candelc rista." For a moment Alalro was at n loss; then she replied with some spirit: "Wo aro two people, ho and I. La Fcrla be longs to mc." "Nevertheless his conduct Is regret table," Loiigorio went on. "Probably rll men have lied to him." For the flrat tlmo Dolores stirred. Bho had watched her countryman with a peculiar fascination. Now she said, as If freed from a spell : "Pah I Nobody pays heed to Scnor Ed. Wo do not consider him." Alalrc turned upon her with u sharp exclamation, conscious mcnnwhllo that the woman's tone, even more than her words, had enlightened Longorlo to omc extent. Ills lifted brows were eloquent of surprise and curiosity, but ho held his tongue. "Am I to understand, then, thnt you rob mc becauso of my husband's nc 'tlonr Alalro asked. "No. I Rlmll help." Longorlo beamed enthusiastically. "It shall bo the ob tject of ray life to serve you, and you and I shall arrange this matter satis factorily. I hnvo Influence, bcllcvo me. Duty calls mo to Nuovo Pueblo, and you shall return with mo as tho guest of my government." lie rose to his foot, but his eagerness soon gavo place to disappointment. "Thank you," said Alalre, "but 1 must first go to Ln Fcrla and got all tho facts." J "Senora! It Is n wretched journey. Scol" IIo waved a contemptuous ges ture at the car, crowded to congestion. iThcro Is no food; you have no ono to ,wnlt upon you. In my company you fwlll bo safe. Upon my honor, you will enjoy tho highest courtesy " "Of course. But I must go on. I ihavo Dolores and Jose to look ufter mo," Alalre Indicated Sanchez, who nad edged his way very closo and now stood with admiring eyes fixed upon Ibis hero. "Yes, ml gcncrnl," Jose exclaimed, eagerly, "I am here." Longorlo scrutinized the horse breaker critically. "Your name Is 7" "Jose Sanchez." I "You look llko a brnvc fellow." ' Jose swelled at this praise, and no doubt would havo made suitable an swer, but his employer held out her hand, and Gcncrnl Longorlo bent over It, raising It to his lips. IIo called one of his subordinates closer and ordered thnt u Ueutcnnnt and six soldiers bo detached to act as nn escort to Mrs. Austin's party. "Senora, the hours will drag until I may see you again nnd bo of further service. Mean while I shall bo tortured with radiant (dreams. Go with God 1" For n second 'tlmo bo bowed and kissed tho hand he Kd, then, taking Jose Sanchez IntI tely by the arm, ho turned to tho door. ) Dolores collapsed Into her sent with an exclamation. "Caramba 1 Tho man Is a demon I And such eyes. Uf !" Dolores was Interrupted by Longo rf.Vs vclco beneath the open window. .The gcncrnl stood, cap In hand, hold ing up to Alalro a solitary wlldllower f .which he bad plucked beside tho track. "See!" ho cried. "It Is tho color of Tour adorablu eyes blue llko the sapphire gem." IIo plnced tho deli cate bloom In Alaire's lingers and was uno. "Culdndo I" breathed Dolores. "There Is blood on It; the blood of Innocents. He will burn for a million years In hell, that man." Jose Sanchez came plowing Into Alaire's car, tremendously excited. "Look, senora 1" he cried. "Look what .iio general gavo me," nnd ho proudly displayed Longorlo's servlco revolver. Around Jose's waist wus tho cartridge belt and holster thnt went with the weapon. "With his own hands ho buckled It about me, and ho said, Mojc, something tells mo you are a Cevll for bravery. Guard your mistress 1th joht life, for If any mishap be falls ber I shall cut out your heart with my own hands. Thoso were his very words, senora. Caramba 1 Thero Is a man to dlo for." Nor was this tho Inst of Longorlo's dramatic surprises. Shortly nfler tho train bad got under way tho lieutenant In command of Alaire's guard brought bar a small package, saying: The nenernl ivunnmndeil mtj to luind Copyright by Harptr U Brothers you this, with his deepest regard." Alalro accepted tho object curiously. It was small nnd heavy and wrapped ln several lenves torn from a notebook, and It proved to bo nothing less than tho splendid dinmond-nnd-ruby ring she hnd admired. "God protect us, now!" murmured Dolores, crossing herself devoutly. CHAPTER VI. Blaze Jones and His Neighbors. Maze Jones rode up to his front gate and dismounted ln the shade of tho big ebony tree. He stepped back and ran an approving eye over another nnlmnl tethered there. Of course the youths of this day were nothing llko the youths of his own, and yet Blnzo let his gaze linger fondly on tho highbred mnro and her equipment hero at least was a person who know n good horse, a good saddle and n good gun. As ho enmo up tho walk he heard Paloma laugh, and his own face light ened, for his daughter's merriment wns contagious. Then ns ho mounted tho steps nnd turned tho corner of tho "gallery" ho uttered n hearty greeting. "Davo Law! Where in tho world did you drop from?" Law uncoiled himself nnd took tho rnnchmnn's hand, "nello, Blaze I I been ordered down hero 'to keep you straight." "Pshaw! Now who's been giving you orders, Dave?" "Why, I'm with tho Rangers." "Never knew n word of it. Last I heard you was filibustering nround with tho Mnderlstas." Blazo seated himself with a grateful sigh where tho breeze plnyed over him. IIo was a big, bcarllke, swnrthy man with tho square-hewn, deep-lined face of a tragedian, and a head of long, curly hair, which ho woro pnrtcd In a lino over his left enr. Jones was a character, a local landmark. This part of Texas had grown up with Blaze. and ho possessed a splendid indiffer ence to the artificial fads of dress and manners. IIo was nlalnlv an out door man. "So you'ro a Hanger, nnd got notches on your gun." Blazo rolled and lit n tiny cigarette, scarcely larger than n wheat straw. "Well,. you'd ought to make a right nblo thief-catcher, Dave, only for your size you'ro too long for n man and you uln't long enough for n snake. Still, I reckon a thief would have trouble getting out of youc reach, and onco you got close to him How many men havo you killed?" "Counting Mexicans?" Lnw inquired with a smile. "Nobody counts them." "Not many." "That's good." Blazo nodded nnd relit his cigarette, which ho hnd per mitted promptly to smolder out, "Tho foreo ain't what It was. Most of the boys nowadays join so they can rldo a borso cross-lots, pack a pair of guns, nnd give rein to tho predilections of u vicious ancestry. Thoy'ro bad rains, most of 'cm," "There aren't mnny," said Paloma. "Dave tells inu the wholo forco hns been cut down to sixteen." "That's plenty," her father averred. "It's llko when Cnp'n Bill McDonald was sent to stop n riot ln Dallas. Ho came to town alone, and when the citi zens asked him where his men was, ho said" 'Ain't I enough? There's only one riot.' Aro you workln' up n case, Davo?" "Um-ni yesl People aro missing a lot of stock hereabouts." "It's these blnmed refugees from tho war! A Mexican has to steal some thing or ho gets run down and pore. If It ain't stock, It's something else." Dave Law's duties ns a Banger rest ed lightly upon him; his Instructions were vague, and he had n leisurely method of "working up" his evidence. Since ho knew thnt Blaze possessed a thorough knowlcdgo of this section nnd Its people, It wns partly business which had brought him to tho Jones homo this afternoon. Strictly speaking, Blnzo wns not n rancher. Ho had speculated heavily In raw lands, nnd for several years past ho had devoted his energies to n gi gantic colonlzutlon scheme. It wns by no means a small operation In which ho was engaged. Tho venturo had taken foresight, courage, Infinite hard wui'ii mnro was uurueneu with re sponsibilities thnt would havo broken I down a man of weaker flbert But his pet relaxation was reminis cence. His own experience had been wide, he knew everybody In his part of the stnte, nnd although events ln his telling were sometimes colored by his rich Imagination, the information he could give was often of the great est value as Dave Law knew. After a time the latter said, casually, "Tell mo something nbout Tad Lewis." Blazo looked up quickly. "What do you wunt to know?" "Anything. Everything." "Tad owns n right nice ranch be tween hero nnd Las Palmas," Blaze said cautiously. Paloma broke out Impatiently. "Why don't you say whnt you think?" Then to Dave: "Tad Lewis Is a bad neigh- nor, nnu niways lias been. There's a ford on his place, und we think he knows more about 'wet' cattle than he cares to tell." "It's a good place to cross stock at low water," her father agreed, "and Lewis' lnnd runs bnck from the Bio Grande ln its old Spanish form. It's a natural outlet for those brush-country rnnchos. But I haven't anything ngalnst Tad except u natural dislike, lie stands well with somo of our best people, so I'm probably wrong. I usu ally am." "You can't call Ed Austin one of our best people," sharply objected Paloma. "They claim that arms are being smuggled ncross to the rebels, Davo, and, if it's true, Ed Austin" "Now, Paloma," her father remon strated mildly. "The regulars and the river guards watched Lewis' rancli till the cmbnrgo wns lifted, and they never saw anything." "I believe Austin Is n strong rebel sympathizer," Law ventured. "Sure ! And him nnd the Lewis out fit are amlgos. If you go plrootln' nround Tad's place you're more'n apt to make yourself unpopular, Dave. I'd grieve some to see you In n wooden kimono. Tad's too well llxed to steal cattle, and If ho runs nrms It's be cause he's a 'galvanized Gringo' him self mnrrled a Mexican, you know." AVhen mealtime drew nenr, both Jones nnd his daughter urged their guest to stay and dine with them, nnd Dave was glad to accept. "After supper I'm going to show you our town," Blaze declared. "It's the finest city In south Texns, nnd grow ing like u weed. All we need Is good furmcrs. Those we've got are mostly bnck-to-nature students who leaped n drug counter expecting to 'light In the lap of luxury. In the last outfit wo ? "I Believe Austin Is a Stronci Rebel Sympathizer." sold thero wasn't throo men that knew which end of n mule to put tho collar on. But they'll learn. Nature's with 'em, and so am I. God supplies 'em with nil tho fresh ulr nnd sunshine they need, nnd when they want any thing else they como to Old Blnzo. Ain't that right, Paloma?" "Yes, father." Paloma Jones had developed won derfully since Davo Law'had last seen her. Slio had grown into a most whole some und attractive young woman, with nn honest, humorous pair of brown eyes. During dinner she did her part with n grace that mndo watch ing her u pleasure, and tho Banger found it n great treat to sit at her tablo after his strenuous scouting days In tho mesqulte. "I'm glnd to hear Jonesvllle Is pros perous," ho told his host. "And they say you'ro In everything." "That's right; and prosperity's no nnmo for It. Everybody wants Blaze to havo a finger iu the pie. I'm inter ested ln the bank, the sugar mill, tho hardwaro store, tho Ice plant Sny, tho Ice plant's n luxury for n town this sIjo. D'you know what I made out of It lust year?" Tvo no Iden." "Twenty-seven thousand dollars !" Tho father of Jonesvllle spoke proud- ly, Impressively, and then through . l rwv ifvu I habit called upon his daughter for verification. "Didn't I, Paloma?" Miss Paloma's answer wns unexpect ed, nnd cume with equal emphnslu: "No, you didn't, father. The miserable thing lost money." Blnzo was only momentarily dis mayed. Then he joined his visitor's laughter. "How can a man get along without tho co-operation of his own household?" he Inquired nulvely. "May be It was next year I was thinking nbout." Thereafter he confined him self to statements which required no corroboration. Dave bad long since learned that to hold Blnzo Jones to n strict nccounl nbllity with fuct wns to rob his so ciety of Its greatest chnrra. A slavish accuracy ln figures, tin nrld luck of lmnglnatlon, reduces conversation to the Insipidness of flat wine, and Blaze's talk was never dull. He wus a keen, bhrcwd, practical man, but some where ln his being there wns con cealed a tremendous, lopsided sense of humor which took tho form of n bewildering Imagery. An uttcntlve au dience was enough 'for him, nnd, onco his fancy was in full swing, there was no limit to his outrageous exaggera tions. A light of credulity in a hear er's eye filled him with prodigious mirth, nnd It Is doubtful if his listen ers ever derived a fraction of the amusement from his fabrications that he himself enjoyed, Paloma's spirit of contradiction wns tho only fly in his ointment; now that his daughter wns old enough to "keep books" on him, much of tho story-teller's Joy wai denied him. Of course his proclivities occasion ally led to misapprehensions; chnnce acquaintances who recognized him ns an artful romancer were llnble to con sider him generally untruthful. But even In this misconception Blaze took a quiet delight, secure in the knowl edge thnt all who knew him well re garded him as a rock of Integrity. As a matter of fact, his genuine exploits were quite ns sensational as those of his manufneture. When, after supper, Blnze had hitched n pair of driving mules to his buckboard, preparatory to showing his guest the glories of Jonesvllle, Davo said: "Paloma's getting mighty pretty." "She's ns pretty as n blue-bonnet flower," he father agreed. "And sho runs mo nround something scandalous. I ain't got the freedom of n peon." Blazo sighed and shook his shaggy head. "You know me, Dave; I never used to be scared of nobody. Well, it's different now. She rides me with- o Spanish bit, and my soul ain't my own." With n sudden lightening of his gloom, he added : "Say, you're going to stay right here with us us long ns you're In town ; I wnnt you to see how I cringe." In spite of Blaze's plaintive tone it was patent thnt he was Inordinately proud of Paloma and well content with his serfdom. Jonesvllle proved to be a typical Texas town of the modern vnrlety, nnd altogether different to the pluurod frontier vlllnge. All ln all, the effect was much like thnt of a prosperous, orderly northern farming town. To Its happy founder It seemed well-nigh per fect, nnd Its destiny roused his mad dest enthuslnsm. lie pointed out the Odd Fellows hall, tho Palace Plcturo theater, with is glaring orange lights nnd discordant electric plnno; he con ducted Law to the First Nntioual bnnk, of which Blnzo was a proud but somewhut ornamental director; then to the sugar mill, tho Ice plant nnd other points of equally novel Interest. Everywhere he went Jones was hailed by friends, for everybody seemed to know him and to wan": jo shake his hand. "Somo town nnd somo body ot Mwn, eh?" ho Inquired, finally, nnd Davo agreed : "Yes. She's got n grand framework, Blaze. She'll bo most as hi- as Fort Worth when you fatten her up." Jones wuved his buggy whip In n wide clrclo that took in tho miles of level prairie on all sides. "We've got tho wholo blamed state to grow ln. And, Dave, I haven't got nn enemy In the plncol It wasn't mnny years ago that certain people allowed I'd never live to raise this town. Why, It usee to be that nobody dared ride with mc except Paloma, nnd she used to sleep with a shotgun nt her bedside." "You sure have been a responsibil ity to her." "But I'm us safe now ns If I was In church." Dave Law turns up some sur prising evidence against certain Texans and he makes Important plans. It's all in the next in stallment. (TO BH CONTINUED.)

Owing to inability of the railroads to meet traffic demands, it is moro than probablo that tho peace celebra tion that wa3 to havo taken place at Vicksburg thi3 fall will bo called off, and many Nobraska veterans of tho civil war will suffer decided disappoint ment. Drill has been suspended at tho uni versity becauso of the calling away of Sergeants Allen and Wlrth, who havo had chargo of tho work since Captain Parker loft. Tho sergeants have re ceived no definite assignment as yet, but will bo Instructed what to do in a short time.

LIFT YOUR CORNS OFF WITH FINGERS How to loosen a tender corn or callus so it lifts out without pain. Let folks stop on your feet hereafter; wear shoes a size smnller If you like, for corns will never again send electric spnrks of pain through you, according to this Clnclnnntl authority. IIo says that a few drops of a drug called freezone, applied directly upon n tender, nchlng corn, instnntiy re lieves soreness, nnd soon the entire corn, root nnd nil, lifts right out. This drug dries nt onco nnd simply shrivels up the corn or cnllus without even irritating the surrounding skin. A small bottle of freezone obtained nt nny drug store will cost very little but will positively remove every hard or soft corn or callus from one's feet. If your druggist hasn't stocked this new drug yet, tell him to get a smnll bottlo of freezone for you from his wholesulo drug house. adv. Short With the Bores. Dr. Charles W.
