This is the famous story oj
Red Saunders, big Red, tough
Red of the plains and mines. We
shall follow this expansive man
through his days of toughness
and sinfulness tip to the great
day of his life, the day that shall
bring the metamorphosis of Red.
This trumpeter will not give the
story away by indicating how
this transformation shall come
about whether through the re
morsc or repentance of Red, his
eonvictioi of sin, his fear of the
damnation of the wicked, his
yearnings for the peace thai
passcih understanding, or wheth
er it shall be the love of woman
that shall bring this giant to his
knees and make him as a little
child. The trumpeter will only
promise thai this conversion of
Red shall be one of the must
interesting and delicious epi
sodes in all fiction, which the
reader will enjoy and doubtless
remember through all the years
of his life.
V.llAVTVAl I.
jEDDY mill J 'wore alone at the
hifce beds. He sat outside (he
cabin braiding a leather hat-bund-elghl
strands mil the ie-
icat figure mi art that I never eouhl
master.
I sat IubIiIc with a one-pound pacU
nge of smoking tobacco bolide me ami
ncwnptipcrs within reacli, rolling the
day's nupply of cigarettes.
Reddy Htoppcd his story long enough
to ny, "Don't use the Trlnecsu' Slip
per,' Kid that paper burns my tongue
take the 'Granger'; there's plenty of
it"
Well, ns I was saying. I'd met a lot
of the boyH up In town this day nnd
they threw as many ns two drinkH Into
me; I know unit for certain, beeuiiHc
,wucn we took the parting dose I had
a glnsH of whisky in both my right
bauds nnd bnd Just twice as many
friends uh when 1 started.
When I pulled out for home I felt
mighty good for myself not exactly
looking for trouble, but mil a-going to
dodge II any, either. 1 mij warbling
"Idaho" for till I aiih worth you know
how pnlty I au singV Cockeyed I'e
tcivion used to say it uiuiIk him forget
all Ills troubles. "BecaiiM,' says lie.
"you don't notiee irillos when a man
bats you over the head with n two by
fur."
Well, 1 wn enjoying everything in
night, even a lltl.le drizzle of rain t lint
wav driving by In rays if wetness
when a Ihilfnced swatt.v at Fort .hdiu-t-Mt
baited me.
Now h'h i dieadful thim; In be but
JqjJ io death b. a nanny gout, but for a
mUK sized eowpuiieher to be held up
l)f a soldlei Is woio yet.
,H'o say that I was hyl under the col
lar don't give you I ho right Idea of
the way I felt.
I ''Why, you cross between the luM
r.se of Hummer and a bobtalled
flash!" nays I, "what d'yer menu?
AFhnt's got into youV fiet out of my
daylight, you dog robber, or I'll walk
the little horse round your neck like a
three ringed circus. Come, pull your
freight!"
It ueemK that Oil Htvntty had been
chucked out of the third story of
Frenchy'8 dance emporium by Hroue
Thompson, which threw a great re
epect for our profesh into him, Con
wjquontly he wasn't fresh, like most
soldiers, but answers me as polite ns a
tin horn gambler on pay day.
Says her "I just wanted to tell you
that old FroHthead and forty braves
are uonieVrs between here mid your
outfit, with their war paint on and
blood in their eye, cayomli. tig.. anil
whooplif fit to beat hell with ihe- blow
er on, and If yoji get timg'ed up with
them I reckon they'll give you n hair
eut ami shampoo, to mi.v nothing of
other trimmings. They say they're
after the Crows, but It' a ten dollar
bill against a last year's bird's iieyu
that they'll take on any hind of trou
ble that comes along. Their hearts s
mighty bad, tliey slate, and when an
Injun's heart gels spoiled the disease
1n d d catching. You'd belter s'jip
awhile."
"Now, cuss old Frost head and you.
too!" says I. "If lie comes crow hop
ping on my rcHorvntion I'll kick his
pantalets on top of Ills sculp loet "
"All rlht. pardner," saya he. "U's
your owu funeral. My orders was to
halt every one going through Mut I
nln't a whole eouipuuy, so you can
have it your own way. Only If your
friends hflv to lake you home hi
coin scuttle, don i litanie me. I'ass.
friend!"
So I went through the otllcers' quar
ters forty miles an hour, letting out u
siring of yells you might have heard
to the coast. Just to show my respect
for the Fulled States army.
Now tlila has alwajs been my luck:
Whenever I made a band wagon play
somebody's sure to sttll.e me for my
license, or else the team les into the
ditch a mile farther on, and I come out
about as happy as a small yaller dog
til a bobcat's caucus.
Some fellers can run In a rhlnecaboo
that M make the hair stand up on u
buft'eler roU and get away with it
Just like a mice, but that ain't me.
If I sing a little mite too high in the
cellar, down comes the roof a-lop of
me. So it was this day. Old Johnny
Hardluck socked it to me, same as
usual.
Cosh a'nilfihly! The liquor died in
me after awhile, ami I went sound
asleep in the saddle and woke up with
a jar to find 'myself right In the mid
dle of old Frost head's gang, the drums
"boom bllupluu" and those forty odd
red tigers "hyati liynmng " In" a siT.o

all over me with cold feet.
How In hhrcs I'd managed to slip
throimh those Injuns I don't know.
"I" would have been a wonderful piece
of scouting if I'd meant It. You e:"i
most always do uny darn thing you'
don't want Io do. Well, there I was,
and, oh. doctor, but wasn't I In a love
ly mess! That war song put a crimp
Into me that .lack Frost himself
couldn't take out.
It was as dark as dark by this time.
The moon Just stuck one eye over the

r-MKu ji mi- in uu ir, mm wie rum hi iiiu
sky was covered with cloud. A little
light came from the Injuns' campflre,
but not enough to ride by, nnd, bo
Hlitos. I didn't know which way I
ought to go.
Says I to myself, "Hilly Saunders, you
are the champion all around, old fash
ioned fool of the district. You are a
jackass from the country where ears
less'n three foot long are curiosities.
You sussed that poorswatty that want
ed to keep you out of lids, tooting your
bazoo like a man peddling soap, but
now it's up to you. What are you go
ing to do nbout It?" and I didn't get
any answer neither.
Well, It was no use asking myself
conundrums out there In the dark
when time was so scarce. So I wraps
my hankereher around I.niMy'.t nose,
to keep him from talking limse to the
Injun ' Miles and prepared to sneak t
where I'd rather lie.
I.addy was the quickest IIiIiik on legs
In that part of the country out of a
mighty spry little l'lnto naro by our
thoroughbred Kentucky horse and 1
knew If I could get to the open them
Injuns wouldn't have much of a chance
to take (ut my stopper and examine
my works -not much. A half mlh
start, and I could show the whole
Slou. nation how I wore my hair.
I cut for the place where the Injuns
seemed thinnest, lifting myself up till
I didn't weigh llfteeu pound and
breathing only when necessary. We
got along iirst rate until we readied
the edge of 'em, and then I.addy had
to stick his foot in a gopher hole and
walloped around there like u whale
trying to climb a tree.
Some darn cues of an Injun threw a
handful of hay on the lire, and as It
blazed up the whole guug spotted mo.
I uulimliered my gun, sent the Irons
Into Laddy, and wo began to walk.
I didn't like to make for the ranch, as
I knew tho fooyu were short handed, so
t pointed north, praying to the good
Lord that I'd hit some kind of settle
ment before I struck tho north pole.
Well, wc left thoso Injuns so fur be
hind that there wasn't any fun In It.
I slacked up, putting myself on the
back, nnd as the trouble seemed nil
over I was Just about to turn for the
ranch when I heard horses galloping-,
and as the moon came out a little 1
saw a whole raft of redskins a-bolling
up a draw not half a mile away That
knocked mo slabsidcd. It looked like

I wouldn't stop this deal short of a dead

I.addy pushing a hole in Ihe air like
a scared coyote making for home and
mother.
A-ways down the valley I spotted a
little shack sitting all alouu by Itself

hollering murder.
A man came to the door In his un

During the past few month wc have
been publishing what some rf our puitl
friends have called "heart-to-heart talks"
on patent medicines.
That name suits us all riht "heart-to-heart
talks" is just what ue have
intended. There can't he auythiuir, more
serious to a sick man or si;lc woman
than his ailment and the remedies he or
she takes to cure il.
Our talks have been "heart to-heart."
Every word we have printed has been
written in absolute earnestness and sin
cerity, and judging from what our cus
tomers tell us. we have md been talking
in vain. We are convinced that our
frankness has been appreciated, and that
our surest ions have been welcomed
which naturally encourages us to con
tinue. To-day, and perhaps for some lime lo
come, we waul to talk about that bij.f
class of renudies known generally as
"catarrh cures."
broadly sneaking tbe--e .ire the patent
medicines that have been the chief tar
gets for the attacks of the "Ladies'
Home Journal," "Collier's Weekly" and
other magazines which are waging cueh
a lively warfare against patent medicine
abuses.
As wc have pointed out in previous"
talks, it is not our business io pass judg
ment on the crusade of these well
known, highly-respected publications.
The public alone must be the judge and
jury. Our bvisini ss, as we sec it. is k
cany in stock- a complete line f patent
medicines, and to sell those medicines a I
the lowest possible price.
We sell hundreds yes, thousands of
bottles of so-called "catarrh cures," and
know nothing of their ingredients. Tim
manufacturers advertise tin in, the public,
demands them ; we order them from the
manufacturers,' atifl sell them at the low
est price. That is absolutely as far as
our knowledge goes. The manufacturer
keeps his formula a secret. It may be
good, or it may not we don't know, and
we have no means of finding out.
Naturally, we would rather svll a rem
edy that wc know is right- thai we can
back tip with all our reputation for hon
esty and :uarc-dcnliug.
And wouldn't you rather buy that kind
of a remedy? Wouldn't you rather hold
us responsible than to hold no one
responsible? We are right here, right
where voti can get at us every dav in the
week, right where one false move on our
part will bring upon us ur condem
nation, the loss of your ft hud -hip, your
patronage, your inlhuucc Can wc afford
to tell you anything that you will learn
later is not absolutely true?
Are you not safer in taking our word
for lite merits of an article, than you are.
to relv on the prinUd statement of a pa
lent medicine manufacturer, whom you
never even saw and probably never will?
Common sense most emphatically tells
you thai we cannot afford to depart one
hair's breadth from the rigid truth.
None of tts can deny that there is sucli
a disease known as "catarrh." Those
who have it, or who have had it, know
that it is one of tho hardest diseases to
cure. ,
I'erhaps the worst thing about catarrh'
is its prevalence. Almost everyone
especially in a climate like outs -has
catarrh in some form or another. That is
what has made the "catarrh cure" busi
ness so profitable. There are so many
thousands of cases of the disease and it is
so hard to cure, that the patent medicine
manufacturers have reaped a harvest in
preparing remedies that appeal to this
large class of sufferers.
One of the most serious things about
catarrh is that it breaks down the sys
tem, so that the sufferer becomes a prey
to other diseases. This f-uM Ins led the
proprietors of so manv "catarrh cures"
to advertise their remedies ns a specific
for almost every disease under the sun.
We have ONE catarrh cure that we
arc willing to say to you; "We know
this is all right. Take it home and use it
with the full assurance thai if it does not
cure you, you can bring it back to us
and we will promptly refund your
money." That catarrh cure is

UCU-TONE
There is no guess work with us on Rexall
Mucu-Touu. IV kilo:.' tJml il is niic of.
Not only do wc know, but ;r uill aire yen i

There is no secret about any Roxnll remedy
we make them one thousand of in leading
druggists all over America in our rcat co
operative laboratories at Itostou, Ma-s. Wc
own the laboratories, and everything in them, and
we operate them just as. skillfully as our com

Thi Ingradlfnts of Mucu-Tont
The chief iiigndienU of Mucu-Tone are Gen
tian, Cubebs, Caspars Sagrada, Glycerine, and
Sarsaparilla.
Gentian is rccounicl in medicine as one of the
greatest tonics ever discovered. It is the founda
tion on which Much Tone is built. Gentian com
bines in high degree the tonic powers of all the
known "bitters" with none of the disadvantages
apphing to tlicin.
Cubebs have long been rocnuniod a a spe
cific in the treatment of all catarrhal conditions.
Its action is prompt and its licuclit-, almost inva
riable. Tn whatever part of the bod the intl imed
or di'-cacd condition of the inueoiii liK-inbrane
exists, the use of Cuheh? has been recommended
by the best physicians for many generations.
Cascara Sagrada is especially introduced for
its necessary laxative properties.
The combination of these with Glycerine and
Sarsaparilla makes .Mucu-Tone a remedy that at
tacks catarrh from every point, gradually restores
and rebuilds the diseased tissues to their former
health and strength, promotes digc-tion and cre
ates a normal appetite. Large trial bottle, GOc.
