rather risky work, and that he would
rather go Into tmttle than to undertake
such a task, anil warned me to he very
cautious and to always be prepared
to fight for my life. I had two good re
volvers, every barrel loaded, and was
otherwise well nretia red, and set out
on the journey with both nerve and
confidence. I was a duly authorized
and equipped organizer of the regular
Golden Circle Association, for that par
ticular trip. Beaching Benton, I reg

a room In the only hotel in town, got

to him that I had been m-nt there to

pleased him. He proposed to tak- me

How Old are You?
Tou need not anewer tho question, mndam,
for in your oaae age ia not counted by years. It
will always b true that "a woman ia as old
as she looks." Nothing sets the seal of age
so deeply upon woman'o beauty aa gray hair.
It is natural, therefore, that every woman is
anxious to preserve her hair in all its original
abundance and beauty; or, that being darned
the crowning gift of beautiful hair, she longs
to possess it. Nothing is easier than to attain
to this gift or to preserve it, if already
possessed. Ayer's Hair Vigor restores gray
