PlIOlOPLAY MvCAZIXE — ADVERTISING SECTION 121 The Toll Gate (Concluded) his men fell upon the Mexicans from the rear. The fight was soon over. Like the rat he v/as, Jordan deserted his men and made his getaway on a fast horse. But one man saw him go — and that man was Black Deering. He left the fight in pursuit. A member of the posse attempted to stop him with rifle, but the Sheriff struck it aside. "He'll come back," he promised. In the running gun fight which ensued between Black Deering and Jordan, the latter was brought to bay when his horse fell under him. The rat was cornered. This was the reckoning and the craven Jordan cowered in the face of death. Before the ■"Judas" stood a grim avenger of justice, who tossed his gun away in contempt, and spoke in the cold measured voice of an executioner: "I'm goin' to kill you, Jordan, for two reasons. One of 'em yoii know, and the other I reckon you'll never know." Jordan begged for his life, then treacherously drew a knife, but like a great panther Black Deering leaped upon his prey, his great hands clutching eagerly. A little later, the buzzards circled over some carrion laying in the bottom of the canyon. Back with the posse. Black Deering again handed in his guns. There was no word spoken. These men were alike — e.xcept that one was the law and the other the outside. The North Trail began at the Utile cabin. Black Deering approached Mary Brown and the "little feller" who had prepared to go with the posse. They both knew and understood what was in each other's hearts. They also knew that the man was going North to his death. "We're all goin' the same way," he said, "Let me carry the little feller." But the Sheriff and his men had reached an understanding. "Deering, we ain't all goin' the same way," said the Sheriff as they faced each other. "We're below the Mexican border line and I can't take you.'' The outlaw stared at the Sheriff, scarcely understanding. The girl realized the other's meaning first and a glad light came into her eyes. Apparently without the slightest friendship the Sheriff stated: "As long as you stay South of that line, you're safe, but don't cross it, Deering, for my sake." The outlaw's eyes traveled off toward the hills. The Sheriff's words meant life and freedom, and the girl was looking up at him with her heart in her eyes. Black Deering felt a tug at his boots; he looked down upon the "little feller" — and Mary Brown faced him, confusedly. "Th.little fellow wants to go with you,'' she struggled, and suddenly the words came in a great sob — "and — and — so do I." Mary's words hit Black Deering like an electric shock. The greatest thing that had come into his life had been offered him, pnd yet he was held back by many barriers. He had killed her husband, he was an outlaw without a home, he was going to a country that was no place for a woman. He knew he must go alone. There was love in his eyes and love in her eyes as he told her very gently: "The Sheriffs goin' to see that you get to your own people — that's best. An' down there is no place for a woman an' a kid." He realized he was hurting the girl deeply, but he could not help it. Suddenly leaning forward, with the greatest reverence, he kissed her. Then he caught up the "little feller'-' and hugged him tight in his arms for a second. Black Deering, outlaw, mountel his horse quickly, his hand went up in a good-bye salute to the Sheriff and the posse, he whirled his horse toward the border and was gone. Joa OLAXAA crt^vJi^ -4<5^Cfi, ^trurhj^, Up to the present time it has been almost impossible to get a face powder to stay on the face longer than it takes to put it on. You powder your nose nicely and the first gust of wind or the first puff of your handkerchief and away goes the powder, leaving your nose shiny and conspicuous, probably just at the very moment when you would give anything to appear at your best. A specialist has at last perfected a pure powder that really stays on ; that stays on until you wash it off. It does not contain white lead or rice powder to make it stay on. This improved formula contains a medicinal powder doctors prescribe to improve the comple.\ion. In fact, this powder helps to prevent and reduce enlarged pores and irritations. It is also astringent, discouraging flabbiness, crow's feet and wrinkles. This unusual powder is called La-may, (French, Poudre L'Ame). Because La-may is pure and because it stays on so well, it is already used by over a million American women. All dealers carry the large sixty cent box and many dealers also carry the generous thirty cent size. When you use this harmless powder and see how beautifully it improves your complexion you will understand why La-may so quickly became the most popular beauty powder sold in New York. We will give you five thousand dollars if you can buy a better face powder anywhere at any price. Herbert Keystone, Dept.K, 16 East 18th St., New York. Save this notice.
