FRIDAY OCTOBER 20 1393
THE WEAKEST SPOT
Dr. Pierce’s Gohlen Medical Discovery acts
spoil this weak spot as nothing else can. It
rouses it up to healthy natural action. By
thoroughly purifying the blood; it reaches
builds up and invigorates every part of the
system.
For all diseases that depend on the liver
or the blood—Dyspepsia. Indigestion Bilious-
ness ; every form of cerofula even Con-
sumption (or Luug-scrofula) in its earlier
stages; and the most stubborn Skin and
Sc3p Diseases the “Discovery” is the only
remedy so unfailing and effective that it can
be gxtaranteed.
If it doesn't benellt or cure you have your
money back.
On these terms it’s on insult to vour in-
telligence to Lave something else offered as
“ just as good.”

JOST AS SHE WAS.

ing elderly man who was dad m ui.-
mttigated homespun of a ridiculous stylo
and fit. As the expert appropriator of
other men’s goods fished out sundry ar-
ticles of homely personal usage from sev-
eral capacious pockets he became pro-
fessionally disgusted.
“You’re a gay old cock ain't you?” he
muttered examining one article after
another. “One cotton red swipe with a
nickle; one knife barlow by all that’s
holy!—10-cent Testyment—so you’re on
the pious lay are ye? And here’s half a
plug of tobacco'’ smelling the same
“not very good at that; $1.50 silver and
a bottle—hello! Corn juice!”
in your whole
system perhaps
is the liver. If
that doesn’t do
its work of puri-
fying the blood
more troubles
>come from it
than you can re-
member.
“A bottle—hello!"
The robber held up a flat glass flask
shook it smelled at it tasted it and
placed it in his own pocket.
“It's the genuine stuff old man. Well
well. You hain't rich pard and for the
sake of the whisky you can have the rest
back Testyment and all. Tain’t -often
we ketches the two goin together. Here
take your things. Put ’em where you
can set on ’em. Yon can't risk such a 1 >t
of valuables too often. There won't be
no liquor to save ’em next time.”
At last he came to the admiral's daugh-
ter who having surrendered watch and
purse begged to be allowed to retain a
certain ring which as he looked at it.
fell from the highwayman’s hand. lie.
denying her request with an oath stoop-
ed to pick it up when she with great
coolness tore the mask from his face.
“Curse you” he roared then dived for
the mask and hurriedly replaced it but
though his back was toward the others
the lady had caught one clear glimpse of
his face.
“I shall know you if I shall see you
again” she said calmly. The robber
now remasked seemed about to assault
her bodily. But he restrained himself.
“In with you all.” he shouted. "Don't
you stir from here till you hear three
guns or we'll riddle you with bullets
yet.”
The admiral’s daughter picked up her
ring which the man had forgotten when
his mask was stricken off. The rascals
were now in a bad temper and bundled
the passengers back into the coach rough-
ly. Then renewing their orders with
additional curses they mounted their
horses near by and rode off. Every one
remained silent and almost motionless
until the distant sound of the three guns
came sharply to their ears when the
driver shook himself down from his
perch saying:
“It couldn’t ’a’ been Cholery Bill ami
his gang this time. Too much cussin
and rearin for them. Must have been
green hands gentlemen. New hands on
the road is apt to be rather rough—think
it'll skeer folks I reckon. Hit takes an
old timer to be perlite spesh’ly toward
women. Now we'll heave these logs out
and mosey on.”
When the stage arrived at Kickapoo
the primitive looking elderly man began
to fumble in his brogan shoes. Then he
drew forth a flat bundle of bank notes
counted them and placed them in his
pocketbook. All this in a melancholy
pensive way while he spoke as if to him-
self:
“The ways of the wicked are full of
guile yet have I outwitted them all.”
It was more than his more worldly
wise fellow travelers had done nor were
they one whit consoled by observing the
result. Yet what might not be expect-
ed of one who carried whisky in one
pocket and a Testament in the other?
CHAPTER VI.
CHICKASAW JOHN.
The camp of the boomers lay scattered
along Cottontail creek for nearly a mile.
One of its veteran members was Chicka-
saw John an old companion of Captain
Payne's and who had been an Oklahoma
boomer so long that his surname and his
antecedents as a once prosperous Illinois
farmer had quite receded into the shift-
ing realms of border tradition. Of all
his former possessions he retained only
a lean wife a leaner pair of mules a di-
lapidated wagon and an undiminished
yearning for forbidden lands.
From long contention with govern-
ment red tape and the weariness of hopes
deferred he had acquired an irritably
expectant air as of uncertainty grown
morbid and restless in the light of rights
denied. Add to this a parched dusty
aspect that broodea over man ana beast
alike as if dry winds red dust and scant
provisioning were shriveling their bodies
as well as hopes and you have Chickasaw
John somewhat as he looked in these
evil days.
Ever hammering at one idea he had
hammered it into Burl’s convictions un-
til that individual had also come to rec-
ognize but two objects as worthy of his
entire ambition here below—Arizony for
a wife and enough of good Indian land
to make them comfortable when good
Indian lands should have passed to their
proper owners the white man.
Hence the festive trips over ths border
by night on the part of Yates Chickasaw
John and other kindred spirits to whom
the delays of government and the re-
straints imposed l by the military were
the crying evil of the times.
As months passed on and the petition-
ing and lobbying at Washington seemed
to involve only a necessity for the con-
tinuance of these pleasing but often un-
satisfactory privileges of a free people
the wrath and hatred of the actual
boomers increased. Hard times grew
apace in their camps. Many abandoned
the cause and returned home in various
stages of impoverishment and ruin. Oth-
ers. not less distressed remained to curse
and to endure intensifying still more
their bitternesss against the soldiers who
were the only near by and tangible rep-
resentatives of official outrage and delay.
"I tell ye” exclaimed Chickasaw John
before a congenial audience at his camp-
fire one night “a gover'ment soldier is a
gover'ment slave. He's only fittin for
an American citizen to wipe his feet on.
I hain’t goin to put up with 'em much
longer. Look at me Burl Yates! You
। never had much to lose and it’s bad
; enough on you but —look at me!”
Truly except as a ragged rusty epit-
! ome of disappointment he was not much
J to look at now.
"What did I have five years ago down
I in southern Illinoy?” he continued. "Two
i hundred acres'of as black bottom land
1 as ever you stuck a plow into no end of
mules cattle hogs a good home anil
over $7OO in the bank. What have I got
now?” He grated his teeth savagely as
the sad difference smqte upon his con-
sciousness. “What have these infernal
red plains and these infernal red Injuns
and that infernal red tape gover’ment
swallered up of mine? They’ve gobbled
it all. every d d bit of it —land stock.
