It was twelve miles to the nearest house, she told u>, and Frank and 1 had ridden for almost three days without a stop, l>ut we went that night and bought food [or her and her little boy. She told us the sad story of her life, and how a banker in a fcxas town had cheated her out oi some land. "That was enough. W« got into oui sad dies and started for Texas. On the way we picked up the gang, and we made fur the town, several hundred miles awaj "That robbery was slight!) more elaborate than the others 1 told you about, but saj an) director living would turn up lu> nose al it and say it lacked 'punch.' Frank took care of the cashier, and 1 had a few words with the president, a nasty old hypocrite, and I told him not to argue with me be cause I didn't like him anyway and was apt to let my finger slip on the trigger, He didn't argue. We got bundles of paper money which were lighter and easier to carry than gold, and we writ' almost out of the bank before the marshal fired at us through the door. Then we in.uk for the horses, and the whole town was in an uproar, but no one knew just who the bandits were. A man passed me at a run. waving his gun and yelling to me to 'get under cover,' that there were 'robbers in town!' "Then your picture doesn't exploit outlawry?" I asked "Exploit it?" he echoed. "Not much: there's where it differs again from the general run of 'western' pictures. There wasn't any glamour in the life; there was much that was bad, much that was indifferent, and some that was good; but there wasn't any romance about it — it was hard, sordid, and tragic. We weren't bad clear through like the bandits you see on the screen, we'd have given our last cent to a hungry woman or child, and we never robbed the poor. When we had divided this money, we sent a share )!' it to the lady of the dugout so that she could go back home — but she neVer knew where it came from." Al Jennings is fitted belter, perhaps, than anyone else, to tell the new story of the old west, for he and his "gang" kept the southwest in constant terror for three years until the law put an end to their marauding. His subsequent imprisonment, pardon, and ''beatmi: back" to the pale of society are common knowledge, as well as his conversion and career as an evangelist. It was in this latter role that he received a taste of his — former — medicine. He was on a street car that was held up by two unmasked men, and he was relieved of his watch and purse. The next night, while lecturing, he saw in the audience one of the men who had robbed him. "I see in this audience,'' he said, "a man who has committed a robbery. I know where he is sitting, I could turn him over to justice if I so desired; I want to say to that man that there isn't money enough in California to make me betray him — but!" he thundered on, "I want to tell that man that he's at the wrong game ! I know, I've been through it all ; and I say to him that there is a punishment worse than prison bars; a remorse of such searing agony that eternity itself cannot wipe it out!'' The next day he received a package and a note. The former contained his watch, and the purse, with the contents intact The note read, "Deer Al. Profeshional courtesy demands that I return your things. You win, I go strate from now on. But my god al, you sure picked on me in your sermon ; it was worse than ten veers in Sing Sing!" "And did he reform?" I wanted to know. "Well," said Jennings, "that depends on the point of view. He's a lawyer now." When This Dish Before You When you order foods for children keep Puffed Grains before you — these whole-grain toasted bubbles, puffed to eight times normal size. Remember their attractions — how children's faces light up when they see them. Remember their exquisite taste, which makes them food confections. Remember, too, that Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice are whole grains. They are rich in minerals, etc., which part-grain foods omit. Whole grains excel flour foods for children, as every mother knows. And this form makes those whole-grain foods attractive. More than that, these grains are steam-exploded. Every food cell has been blasted, so digestion is easy and complete. The Puffed Grains, prepared by Prof. Anderson's process, are the bestcooked cereal foods in existence. Consider all these things — howchildren love them, what perfect foods they are, and how fitted for digestion. And there are three kinds, each with different flavor, which avoids monotonv. Puffed Wheat Puffed Rice And Corn Puffs All Bubble Grains — Each 1 5c, except in Far West These are more than breakfast dainties. One great way of serving is in bowls of milk. And every dish of fruit is better with these fragile grains mixed in. The Quaker Qats (pmpany Sole Makers (3061) you write to advertisers please mention PHOTOPLAT MAG \7.INE.
