The Marshal of Paradise By George Edwin Hunt (Copyright, by Joseph E Bowles.) This is the story of Runty Smith ers. as told tti me by various and sun dry citizens of Paradise, Ariz.: Archibald Anstruther Smithers was bom of rich and respectable parents, in the city of Richmond, ind. His education was that ol the young men if the middle states. He was taught to have taitfa respect his conscience inti he honest He Knew there were people in the world with but little 'egard tor law and order, for he had read books and newspapers, but they figured as things remote, like Pom peii ana the fixed stars. His uprais ing was on strictly conventional lines: ins scheme of existence was bound ed by the limited experience obtained among a refined and intellectual ae ouaintaueeship A well-marked idio syncrusy in his character was his fear of [Midir. injury It was more than timidity it was abject physical cow ardice. As mora! courage and sense of duty were among his most promi nent traits, his utter lack of physical courage was accentuated Developing tubercular tendencies during his last year in college, this studious, quiet, timid young man was given a letter of credit and much ad vice m his busy father a enamois -skii. unde-vest anti a cloud-burst of tears by iiis loving mother, and de parted for Arizona to seek the robust nealth his physician predicted an out doo- lift in that latitude wimid con fer. v. neu Arcninatn Anstrutne: reacn cl Paradise hi.- general appearance nius: nave tailed, in many respects, to coincide with the atmosphere of that hustling community Archibald An struther was short and slight, thin and pale of face hoi low-chested, and with a scholarly stoop to his shoul ders The spectacles he wore were rendered necessary by extreme near signtedness. Following a custom of tbe free and unlettered west, lone some Einthicum dubbed him "Runty' at their hrst interview, and Runty he remained u> the end of the story. Mr. Smithers neither a rank, smokec nor gambled He did not know how to mad or fire a gun and used a Knife only tor the subdivision of his food On the tew occasions he was present at altercations oerween two o’ more gentlemen he had. I was in formed. went white and hot-footed to: cover ' It war. perhaps but nat ura tha the rough and ready resi dents of Paradise should holt him at firs in lighs esteem He was incon gruous—a tenderfoot He did not fit. Physically, and in many ways men tali’- aui morally, he was everything that they were not. Bu’ when Billy Earle's broncho stepped into a hole and broke Billy s let insreac o; the broncho's. Runty Smitliers spen days and nights car ing for Billy and loaned hin. money for nit doctor's bill. And when Pat Johnson s •ten-vear-oid boy was strick en with diphtheria. Runty brought a bag of clothes to the house, drove Pat off to hit work, and saved the ■hiiti's lift- by careful nursing One night Jake Bweeney partook of the cup tnat chee/s and also inebri ates. and did whai Big Bill Jemigan describee to me as "some promiscu ous snootin' with various deleterious results and Paradise decided in sol emn conclave a marshal was needed 1-onesome Lanthicum. straight lithe, ■supple gray-eyed and fearless would have been unanimously selected at tne time but that an election was tleemec the straight and rogular method to pursue. On the day of the voting some joker rooeelveti i* would be grea’ fun to -aB: a ballot for Runty Smitliers. Be ing unselfish, he shared his jes: with a few friends, who followed his exam ple and explained the humor of the Dccasion to a few of their triends And when the votes were counted, it was found the humorists were in the majority Runty Smithers was elect ee marshal of Paradise by a vote of S6 to Ti Paradise sat up and be gan to take notice. A meeting was hastily called in Three-Fingered Pete's saloon and a resolution v.as offered providing for a committee of three, which commit tee should call on Mr. Smithers. in font him that the whole matter was a mistake, direct his attention to his manifest unfitness for the iiosition. and request his withdrawal As the question of the adoption of the resolu tion was about to be put Lonesome Linthirum the defeated candidate, stepped mto the room Glancing over his audience, he said: "Boys I have just come from Kunt> Smithers He has heard the re sult of the election and has taken the matter seriously. He has ex pressed his deep regret that 1 should have been defeated, but is firm in the belief that our republican institu tions are based on the theory that the wil of the majority must prevail. He is anxious to justify your judgment in his choice by doing his duty honor ably and well. Yon elected Runty marshal of Paradise The election was fair and square You cannot— you shali not—humiliate him by ask ing him to withdraw Boys. Runty Smithers is going to be marshal of Paradise! 1 say it! And, by God. the first man that bats an eyelid in contradiction of his authority will kill me or i wilt kil! him!" Paradise was used to following i^oneeome's leads. The humor of the situation also appealed to many. So. instead of appointing a committee of three, the assemblage went into a committee of the whole for the pur pose of congratulating the newly elect ed marshal. One Monday morning Lonesome Linthicum received a message calling him to c ranch 200 miles up the val ley on n mission that would require his attention three or four days. Witt a word of warning to a few of the boys, he rode out of town The following day announcement was made of a dance to be given at Bloom er's Guich on Saturday nigh:. All Paradise wa? invited, and most of it accepted. Jemigan. Windy. Billy Earle. Pap Johnson and others tried to prevail on Runty to join them, hut the marshal s conception of his duty would no! permit him U leave his post. As nearly everyone that hid the evening free was expected tc attend the dance. Runty's self-appomted guardians could see nc risk ha leav ing him uncared for that on“ night, and it was so decided At ter. o'clock that Saturday night while all was peacefully quiet in Par adise. four men. masked and Heavily armed rode into town from the Tuc son trail. In siience they passed through the deserted streets to where the lights from Three-Fingered Pete's saloon and gambling house shone across the darkened thoroughfare. Noiselessly dismounting, they hitch ed their ponies readjusted their masks and surveyed the room from their concealment in the outei shad ow Pete s bartender Dutch Henry, the sole occupant, was dozing in a chair at the end of the bat With one swift stride he who acted as leader of the outlaws was in the saloon, a 44 in each hand covering Dutch. “Hands up!’ short and sharp. A giance toward the door an almost involuntary movement of the hand toward the gun under the ha: a sharp report, and Dutch Henry had paid the deDt of indiscretion The out laws hastened to t small safe in the corner of the room wtiere Pete kept his “hank rol " Finding it iocked the leader gave quick and decisive or ders. •take, knock that knob of? with the hammer Squint get out you- brace anti hit. Here s the dynamite. .Jerry, go outside anti watch There may be some one ieft in this cursec town, after all." There was The words- were scarce ly spoken when Marshal: Smithers stepped into the saloon Even his de fective vision could not mistake the visible evidences of crime Halting inside the doer he said: Men c-c-come with me " At the sound of his voice the leader ii ; No Quarter Was Giver or Received. of the outlaw? whirled on die heel— fired—and missed Runty had neveT been shot at before. HiE sail i-found ed confidence fled it a flas;. His face turned itshen gray as Ids sou! was suddenly steeped in the agon' of physical fear. His frame fembied with the wiid desire to turn and flee. HiE iips went dry. a cold sweat bathed his body and the horror of cowardice cried aloud within him Tin: he walked steadily iorward. pointing to the star on hi.s coat lattel. and said: "Hen. c-c-come with me.” The amazement that an unarmed man. and one of such peaceful appear i ance. should venture to ciialienge ! them, held the outlaws spellbound for a moment, but now. with an oath, the leader fired again, the retort of his revolver barely preceding a fusiiade from those oi his followers, and Mar shal Runry Smithers sank to tae floor murdered in the attempted fulfillment of his duty. The reverlieration of the repo-ts bad no- ceased when a madly galiop ing horse was curbed to hi:? haunches in front of the door and Lonesome Linthicum strode into the room a re volver in each hand. The s rasm of unutterable regret on his face as he gianced at Runty, prone upon the floor, changed to one of berserker rage as he faced the outlaws No words were spoken, no quarte- was given ot received When the smoke lifted there were three dead safe robbers and one with two bullet holes through his lungs at one end of the room and a gallant gray-eyed fellow at the other end with a broken ant. a bul let in his shoulder and a hole tiirougf his thigh His sound arm lay over the body of the late marshal of Paradise And sc the boys found them whet they returned from the daaot. A Question of Title. A western politician, new to the ways of Washington tells of an am us ing incident in connection with hi hunt for lodgings when first ae cam< to the national capital “I approaches the head of a fine place in tae swei quarter." said he "This lady—ai elderly lady of a terrible and aggres sire refinement of manner—met me a the door Awed to a nervou; degree by her excess of manner, about al! i could gasp out was: “ Would ft be inconvenient to let me an aiiartmen in your establishment.

The true way is to find out wha; is best to eat and drink, and then culti vate a taste for those things instead of poisoning ourselves with improper, indigestible food. etc. A conservative Mass woman writes: “I have used Grape-Nuts 5 years for j the young and for the aged: in sick j ness and in health: at first following j directions carefully, later in a variety | of ways as my taste and judgment sug | gested. “But itE most special, persona! bene i fit has been a substitute for meat and ! served dry with cream when rheu matic troubles made it important for me to give up the coffee habit.'
