There were no talk, no cries, no oaths; It was a silent fight save the grunting and panting which became more and more labored as the minutes drew on. In their clutches Drazks stubbled face rubbed into Transley's cheek; his snarling teeth snapped, but missed, at Transleys Jaw. Then it wns that Transley remembered his revolver. Breaking Drazk's grip by a superhuman effort, he drew the weapon and fired. The shot went wild, and the next Instant Drazk was upon him again. In the struggle (he revolver fell from Transley's hand, and both men began fighting toward It. As Drazks fingers clutched It Transley kicked his feet from under him, and the two went down together. Rolling about on the rocky floor of the quarry they approached, slowly, unconsciously, the edge of the precipice that fell away to the river. On the very edge Transley realized this new and hideous danger, and scrambled to his feet, dragging Drazk with him. Drazk realized it, too, and gleefully, fiendishly joined again In the combat, deliberately forcing the fight toward the river. Ive got you, Transley he hissed, speaking for the first time since Transleys fingers had clutched about his throat; Ive got you, and youre goin over there with me.

The suffering I went through from stomach trouble for 12 or 13 years simply cant be described. In my efforts to find relief I spent over one thousand dollars, but kept getting worse instead of better.

Finally I sent my daughter for a bottle of Tanlac with the result that I found Immediate relief, and seven bottles made a well and happy man of me.

Utility of Yucca Tree Commands Clashed The yucca tree, which is Indigenous to the deserls of Arizona and New Mexico, is very useful to man. It bears no lenves, but each one of Its branches terminates In a knob from which springs a huge bunch of long, bristle-lik- e spines. One of the most delightful of toilet soaps Is made from the spinous bunches, which are boiled to extract saponaceous substances. This species of yueoa has long been known to Indians as the "soap tree. When they want to wash themselves, or their garments, they simply take a piece of the yucca to the nearest convenient water and rub It with their hands, thus obtaining an Immediate and profuse lather. The bristly bunches make a very superior cattle ' food. Little Billy was visiting his grandmother and she was doing her best to give the small boy a good time.
