Letters like these testify to the value
©f the Vegetable Compound. These
women speak from the fullness of their
hearts. They describe as correctly as
they can their conditions: First, those
symptoms that affected them most con-
spicuously; and later the disappearance
of those symptoms. They are sincere ex-
pressions of gratitude. For nearly fifty
years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable

Randy, with Mormon and Ram, stood
Just above the group on the narrow
bench that furnished the floor for the
tent. Randy’s hands rested lightly on
his hips, ids thumbs hooked In his
belt, fingers grazing the butts of his
guns. There was a smile on his lips
but none in his eyes. Ills tone and
manner were easy.
“Saw his stencil on the tent,” he
said. “J. P. in a dlnmond. Same
brand he uses fo’ his huwsses. Or
mebbe you found it.”
His drawling voice held a taunt that
brought angry flushes of color to the
faces of the men opposing him, yet
they made no definite movement
toward attack. There were seven

brutes from their compacted alliance,
the measure is one of will, rather than
physical and merely numerical su-
periority. and the balance beam
quivers undecidedly.
One of the crowd blustered. “I’m
giving you men two minute' to clear
out of here,” he said. “No two-gunned
cowpuncher can throw any bluff round
here, if that’s what you’re trving to
do.”
Randy laughed Joyously. The smile
was in Ills eyes now.
“If I figger a man’s throwin’ a
bluff,” lie said, “I usually figger to call
him, not to chew about it. Now, I’m
talkin’. These claims are duly regis-
tered in the name of Patrick Casey,
his heirs an’ assign. Here’s the pa-
pers. The assessment work is all done.
Pat’s daughter owns ’em now. We’re
representin’ her. An’ I’m servin’ you
notice to quit. We’ll take the same
two minutes you was talkin’ of. Then
staht yore li’l demonstration, gents,
providin’ I don’t heat you to it.” lie
stnrti-d tn roll a cigarette with hands
skillful and steady. Back of him Sam
nnd Mormon stood like dogs fin point,
watchful, unmoving, but instinct with
suppressed motion.
“The girl may’be his heir,” said the
man who had spoken, “but Plimsoll is
assignee. Plimsoll staked him an’
these claims are half ills.” 1
“So J. I’, was hirin’ you to do his
dirty work.” said Randy, ids voice cold
with contempt. “You go hark to him.
the whole lousy pack of you, an’ tell
him from me lie's a yellow-splned liar.
Git! Take yore stuff witli you or send
hack fo’ It. Now, git off tills property.”
If a man can make movements with
his hands so swiftly that they are cov-
ered in less than a tenth of a second,
ordinary human sight cannot register
them. He has achieved the magician’s
slogan—the quickness of the hand de-
ceives the eye. It takes natural apti-
tude and long practice, whether one is
Juggling gilded balls or hlued-steel re-
volvers. Sandy cob Id. with a circling

his eyes shifted. Glance, twist of
wrist, arrest of motion, pressure of
finger, all co-ordina.ed. fine moment
his hands were empty, his glance care-
lessly contemptuous, the veriest move-
ment of n split-second stop-watch and
the gun In his right hand spat fire, the
gun in his left swung in
of much less value than the necessity
for departure.
“Scattered like a hunch of coyotes,”
said Sam.
“Sure did,” agreed Sandy. "Minute
they stahted talkin’, ’stead of shoutin'.
I knew they was ready to stampede.
They’ll heat it to Plimsoll an’ we'll see
jest how much sand lie's got in his
craw.”
"Think Plim’ll show?” asked Ram.
“Got to—or quit,” said Sandy. “That
bunch of Jumpers lie got together’Il
spill tiie beans unless lie makes some
play. Let’s take • pasear an’ look at
Casey’s workings.”
Patrick Casey hod run in n tunnel
from the face of his discovery. Its
mouth had been closed by timbers fit-
ting closely Into the franie of the liori-
zontol shaft, forming, not so much a
door, as a barricade, that had been
firmly spiked to heavy timbers. Tlds
had been recently dismantled und then
replaced, as recent marks on the
weathered lumber showed. Randy
looked at these places closely, frown-
ing as he gave his verdict.
“Some one monkeyin’ with tills In-
side of tiie last month," lie announced.
"Like as not it was that hunch of East-
erners. They'd figger tiie camp was
abandoned an’ consider themselves

tills tunnel. Yes, sir,” Sandy went on,
warming to ids own theory, “it w’udn’t
surprise me if this warn't tiie mine

Is the real stuff an’ clamps on.”
“Well," said Mormon, “we’ll have a
chance to ask him in a minute, lie’s
cornin' up with that crowd of his
rangin’ erlong an’ their lia’r liftin’.”
Tiie three partners met the Jumpers,
now headed by I’limsoil, on tiie border
of tiie claims. Tiie gambler's face was
livid. “You four-llushers get off tlds
ground,” he blustered. “You’re claim-
ing to represent Molly Casey’s rights
after you’ve kidnaped tiie girl and
sent her out of the state. It won’t get
you anywhere or nythlng. I’ve got a
half Interest in these claims and I’ve
plenty of witnesses to prove it.”
“I don't believe yore witnesses are
half as vallyble ns they might have
been before politics shifted in Herefo’d
county,” said Randy. “You ain't got a
written contract an’ it w’udn’t do you
a mite of good if you had, fur as I’m
concerned. Because I’ve been duly an’
legally app’inted guardeen to Casey’s
daughter Molly an’ I’m here to repre-
sent her interests, likewise mine. I’ve
got my guardianship papers right witli
me.”
“A h—1 of n lot of good they’ll do
you in tlds camp," sneered Plimsoll.
“Representin’ her interests. I’ll say
you are. an’ your own along with

Deliberately Sandy took tobacco
sack and papers from tiie pocket of
ids shirt, ids fingers functioning auto-
matically, precisely, Ills eyes never
shifting from PlimsoU’s face, measur-
ing by feel tiie amount of tobacco
shaken Into tiie little trough of brown
paper.
The group gazed at him fascinated.
Plimsoll’s face headed with tiny drops
of sweat, ills hands moved slowly up-
ward toward his cont lapels, touched
them as Sandy twisted the end of the
cigarette, stayed there, shaking slight-
ly with what might have been eager-
ness—or paralysis. For the look in tiie
steel-gray eyes of Sandy Bourke, half
mocking, nil confident, spurred tiie
doubts that surged through tiie gam-
bler's chance-calculating mind, while
lie knew that every atom of hesitation
lessened his chances.
His own hands wore close to his
chest. Ills right had but a few Indies
to dart. fh> drag tiie automatic from Its
smooth holster. Sandy’s hands were
high above ids belt, rolling the cig:r-
rette. They had four times ns far to
go. However, Plimsoll knew that If
anything went wrong witli his perform-
ance. if he failed to kill outright, that
nothing would go wrong with Randy’s
shooting. But—If he did not take his
chance and, failing It, did not leave
camp. . . .
"Gimme a match, Ram.” Sandy’s
voioe came to Plimsoll across n gulf
that could never he bridged. He
watched the flame, pale in the sun-
shine. wntclied It lift to the cigarette
end then a puff of smoke came into
ids face as Rand.v flung away the burnt
stick nnd turned on his heel. Murder
stirred dully in Plimsoll’s brain at the
sneers lie surmised rather than rend
on tiie faces of his followers. Ills de-
feat was also theirs. But the moment
had gone. He knew he lacked tiie
nerve. Sandy knew it nnd had turned
his hack on him.
His prestige was gone. Ills boon
companions would talk about it. Mor-
mon gave Randy back his second gun
and Randy slid it Into the holster. He
exhaled the last puff of his cigarette
before he spoke again to Plimsoll.
“Run-up. ter-morrer. You can send
fo’ yore stuff here any time you’ve a
mind to. Fo’ n gamblin’ man, Plimsoll.
you're a d—d pore Judge of a hand.”
Plimsoll strode off down the hill
alone. Tiie men who hnd come with
him hesitated nnd then crossed the
gulch. They had severed connections
with the J. P. brand for the time, at
least. Tiie throe partners walked back
toward tiie tunnel
here afteh dahk,” he said. “An’ watch-
iu’ tiie fun from tiie tunnel.”
“Prltty close, Mormon. Come Inside,
you an’ Westlake, an’ I’ll show you
sutliln'.”
They followed him Into the tent nnd
came out again laughing.

Naturalists have determined that
I the California condor exceeds in size
its cousin, tiie condor of tiie Andes of
i South America, and is larger than tiie
giant or wandering albatross which
travels the ocean lanes of the Pacific,
south of the equator. Tiie extreme
wing expanse of the California condor
Is close to twelve feet. Through care-
ful measurements, the naturalist
learned that tiie condor of the south-
ern countries Is smaller in nil respects.
One of these largest birds that fly
is on exhibition in the Natural His-
tory museum at San I'lego, Cal. Be-
side the condor, the turkey buzzard, a
smaller relative, appears to lie a
dwarf. Both birds an* carrion enters,
a fact which hns contributed substan-
tially to the near extinction of the
condor. Naturalists of earlier years
