EASY NOW TO SAW LOGS
AND CUT DOWN TREES
Only one man, or even a boy, with
' the improved Ottawa Engine Log Saw
? can easily cut twenty-five to forty
cords a day, and at a cost of less than
2c per cord. This machine, which out
does' all others, has a heavy, cross cut
saw driven by a powerful especially
designed 4-cycle gasoline engine. It’s
a fast money-maker for those using it,
and does more than ten men could do,
either cutting down trees, sawing logs,
or buzzing branches while you rest.
When not sawing, the engine can be
used for other work requiring power.
The entire machine is mounted on
truck wheels to make it easy to move
to the trees or logs, and from cut to
cut on a log without stopping the en
gine. For moving on the road, the
truck wheels are placed parallel with
the skids and the rig hauled straight
ahead. The wheels turn on a two
way spindle. You do not have to take
them off, but can change direction of
wheel travel by merely taking out a
pin.
The Ottawa can be fitted for saw
ing down trees. It cuts level with
surface of ground, thereby getting all
the timber and leaving no stumps
sticking up. An automatic friction
clutch stops the saw in case of undue
resistance. Two men can fall forty
to fifty trees a day in ordinary timber.
The whole outfit Is compact, simple,
durable against a lifetime of hard
wear. It sells for a low price and is
fully guaranteed for- reliable opera
tion in the hands of every one who has
trees to cut down and logs to work up.

price to you can be had simply by ad

INDIGESTION
Caused by
Acid-Stomach
Millions of people—in fact about 9 out of
10—suffer more or less from indigestion,
acute or chronic. Nearly every case is
caused by Acid-Stomach.
There are other stomach disorders which
also are sure signs of Acid-Stomach —belch-
ing, heartburn, bloat after eating, food re
peating, sour, gassy stomach. There are
many ailments which, while they do not
cause much distress in the stomach itself,
are, nevertheless, traceable to an acid
stomach. Among these are nervousness,
biliousness, cirrhosis of the liver, rheuma
tism, impoverished blood, weakness; insom
nia, melancholia and a long train of phys
ical and mental miseries that keep the
Victims in miserable health year after year.
•the right thing to do is to attack these
ailments at their source —get rid of the acid
stomach. A wonderful modern remedy called
EATONIC now makes it easy to do this!
One of hundreds of thousands of grateful
users of EATONIC writes: “I have been
troubled with intestinal indigestion for about
nine years and have spent quite a sum for
medicine, but without relief. After using
EATONIC for a few days the gas and pains
In my bowels disappeared. EATONIC is just
the remedy I needed.”

these marvelous benefits. Try EATONIC and

"FOOL! FOOLI FOOL!”
Synopsis.—David Elden,, son ot a
drunken, shiftless ranchman, al
most a maverick of the foothills,
Is breaking bottles with his pistol
from his running cayuse when the
first automobile he has ever seen
arrives and tips over, breaking the
■feg of Doctor Hardy but hot injur
ing his beautiful daughter Irene.
Dave rescues the injured man and
brings a doctor from 40 miles
away. Irene takes charge of the
housekeeping. Dave and Irene get
well acquainted during her enforced
stay. They part with a kiss and an s
implied promise. Dave’s father dies
and Dave goes to tbwn to seek his
fortune. A man named Conward
teaches him hiA first lesson in city
ways.
a ‘
CHAPTER lll—Continued.
Dave’s duties were simple enough.,
fie had to drive a wagon to a coal
yard, where a y^y superior young
man, with a collar, would express sur
prise that he had been so long gone,
and tell him to back in under chute
number so-and-so. It appeared to be
always a matter of great distress to
this young man that Dave did not
know which chute to back under until
he was told. Having backed into po
sition a door was opened. There was
a fiction that the coal in the bin should
then run into the wagon box, but, as
Dave at once discovered, this was
merely a fiction. Aside from a few
accommodating lumps near the door
the coal had to be shoveled. Then
Dave had to drive to an address that
was given him, shovel the coal down
a chute located in the most inacces
sible position the premises afforded,
and return to the coalyard, where the
young man with the collar would face
tiously inquire whether Mrs. Blank
had invited him in to afternoon tea,
or If he had been waiting for a change
in the weather.
His work and supper were over by
seven o’clock each evening, and now
was the opportunity for him to begin
the schooling for which he had left
the ranch. But he developed a sud
den disinclination to make the start;
he was tired in the evening, and he
found it much more to his liking to
stroll downtown, smoke cigarettes on
the street corners, or engage in an
occasional game of pool. In this way
the weeks went by, and when his
month with Metford was up he had
neglected to find another position, so
he continued where he was. He was
being gradually and unconsciously
submerged in an inertia which, how
ever much it might hate its present
surroundings, had not thei^spirit to
seek" a more favorable environment.
So the fall and winter drifted along;
Dave had made few acquaintances and
no friends, If we except ^onward,
whom he frequently, met In the pool
rooms and for whom he had developed
a sort of attachment.
One Saturday evening; as Dave was
on his way to their accustomed resort,
he fell in with (^onward on the street.
“Hello, old man!” said Conward
cheerily. “I was just looking for you.
Got two tickets for the show tonight.
Some swell dames in the chorus.
Come along. There’ll be doings.”
There were two theaters in the
town, one of which played to the bet
ter-class residents. In it anything of
a risque nature had to be presented

It to be classified as “art,” but in the
other house no such restrictions ex

ward led. Dave had been there be
fore, in the cheap upper gallery, but
Conward’s tickets admitted to the best
seats in the house. ,
It was an entirely new experience.
From the upper gallery the actors
and actresses always seemed more or
less impersonal and abstract, but here
they were’ living, palpitating human
beings, almost within hand-reach, cer
tainly within eye-reach. Dave found
himself regarding the young woman
immediately before him; all in white
she was, with some scintillating mate
rial that sparkled in the glare of the
spotlight; then suddenly she was in
orange, and pink, and purple, and
mauve, and back again in white. And

In her dress and manner a modesty
which fascinated the boy with a sub
tlety which a more reckless appear
ance would have at oneg defeated.
And then Dave looked in her face.
It was a pretty face, notwithstanding
Its grease paint, and it smiled right
into his eyes. His heart thumped be
tween his shoulders as though it wbuld
drive all the air from his lungs. She
smiled at him —for him I Now they
were away again; there were gyra
tions about the stage.
Then there was a sudden break
away In the dance, and the girl dis
appeared behind a forest. Dave sup
posed she had gone to rest; dancing
like that must be hard on the wind.
He found little to interest him now in
what was going on on the stage. It
seemed rather foolish. He wished the
girl behind the forest would come
down and rest there. Then she could
/ see the show herself. Then she corid
see—
But there was a whir from the for
est, and the girl reappeared, this time
all in red, right before him. And then
she looked down and smiled again at 1
him. And he smiled back. And then
he looked at Conward and saw him
smiling too. And then he felt a very
distressing uncertainty, which brought
the color slowly to his face. He re
solved to say nothing, but watch. And
his observations convinced him that
the smiles had been for Conward, not
for him. And then he lost interest in
the play.
They hustled into their overcoats to
the playing of the national anthem.
“Hurry!” said Conward. “Let’s get
out quick! Ain’t she some dame?
There—through the side exit —the
stage door is that Any. She promised
to have her chum with her. They’ll
be waiting if we don’t hurry.”
Conward steered him to the Stage
entrance, where a little group was al
ready congregated. In a moment the
girl appeared, handsomely dressed in
furs. With her was another girl, also
from the chorus, but Dave could not
recall her part. He was suddenly
aware of being introduced.
“This is my friend Belton,” Con
ward was saying.
Dave was about to correct him when
Comvard managed to whisper:
“Whist! Your stage name. Mine’s
Edward. Don’t forget.”
Conward took the first girl by the
arm, and Dave found himself follow
ing rapidly with the other. They cut
through certain side streets, up a stair
way, and into a dark hall. A door
opened. Conward pressed a button,
and they found themselves in a small
but comfortably furnished room —evi-
dently bachelor apartments.
The girls threw off their wraps and
sauntered about the place, while Con
ward started a gas grate and put some
water to both
“Sorry I’ve nothing for you to eat,”
he said, “but I’ve some good medicine
for the thirst.”
“Eating’s poor business when there’s
a thirst to be quenched,” said one of
the girls with a yawn. “And, believe
me, I’ve a long one.”
The glasses were filled and raised.
“Ho!” said Conward.
“Here’s looking!” said one of the
girls.
Dave hesitated, but the other girl
clinked her glass against his. “Here's
looking at you,” she said, and she ap
peared to lay special emphasis on the
last two words. Certainly her eyes
were on Dave’s as she raised her glass
to her lips. And under the spell of
those eyes he raised his glass and
drained it.
Other glasses were filled and
drained. The three were chattering
away, but Dave was but vaguely con
scious of their talk and could weave
no connected meaning into it. His
head^» was buzzing with a pleasant,
dreamy sensation. A very grateful
warmth surrounded him, and with it
came a disposition to go to sleep. He
probably w-ould have gone to sleep had
his eye not fallen on a picture on the
wall. It was a picture of a girl point
ing hdr finger at him. ... No girl
could point her finger at him. He
arose and made a lunge across the
room. He missed her, and with diffi
culty retraced his steps to the table
to make a fresh start.
“She’s makin’ fun of me,” he said,
“an’ I don’t stand for that. Nobody
can do that with me. Nobody—see?
I don’t 'low it.”
"Oh, you don’t?” laughed one of the
girls, running into a corner and point
ing her finger at him. “You don't?”
He turned his attention to her,
steadying himself very carefully be
fore he attempted an advance. Then,
with wide-stretched arms, he bore
down cautiously upon her. When he
had her almost within reach she dart
ed along the edge of the-room. He
attempted a sudden change in direc
tion, which, ended^disastrously, and he
found himself very much sprawled out
upon the floor. He was aware of
laughter, but what cared he? He was
disposed tb sleep. What better place
to sleep than this? What better time
to slqep than this? In a moment he
was lost to all consciousness. . . .
It was later in the night when he
felt himself being dragged into a sit
ting posture. “Where am I?” he said,
blinking at tie light. He rose uncer
tainly to his feet and stared about the

“Where’s the girls?” he asked.
“Gone,” said Conward sulkily.
“Couldn’t expect ’em to stick around
all night to say goodby, could you.
and you sleeping off your drunk?”
Dave raised his hand to bls head.
A sense of disgrace was already upon
him. Then he suddenly turned in an
ger on Conward. “You put this up on
me,” lie cried. “You made a fool of
me. I’ve a mind to bash your skull in
' for you.”
“Don't be silly,” Conward retorted.
“I didn’t enjoy it any more than you
did—lntroducing you as my friend,
and then have you ,go out like that.
Why didn’t you tip me? I didn't know
it would put you to sleep.”
“Neiiher did I,” said Dave.
“Weil, the next thing is to get you
home. Can you walk?”
“Sure.”
Dave started for the door, but his
course suddenly veered and he found
himself leaning over a chair. Conward
helped him into his overcoat, and half
led, half shoved him to his boarding
house.
CHAPTER IV.
Elden awoke Sunday morning with
a prodigious thirst, which he slaked
at the water pitcher. It was the prac
tice of Retford’s gang to select one of
their number to care for all the horses
on Sundays while the others enjoyed
the luxury of their one day of leisure.
In consequence of * this custom the
room was still full of snoring sleepers
and the air was very close and foul.
Dave sat down by^the little table
that fronted the open window and
rested his head on his hands. He was
recalling, with considerable effort, the
events of the previous night; piecing
o

to Bash Your Skull In for You.”
them together in impossible ways; re
assorting them until they offered some
sequence. The anger he had felt
toward Conward had subsided, but the
sting of shame rankled in his heart.
“Fool!” he said to himself. And be
cause he could think of no more spe
cific expression to suit his feelings,
and because expression of any kind
brought a sort of, relief, he kept on
repeating the word, “Fool! fool!
fool!” And as his self-condemnation
gradually won him back to a sense of
perspective he became aware of the
danger of his position. He had left
his ranch home to better himself, to
learn things, to rise to be somebody.
He had worked harder than ever be
fore, at more disagreeable employ
ment; he had lived in conditions that
were almost nauseating —and what
had he learned? That you can't beat
a card man at his own game, price
sixty dollars, and that the gallery
seats are cheaper and sometimes safer
than the orchestra.
Then all of a sudden he thought of
Reenie. He had not thought of her
much of late; he had been so busy
in the days and so tired at nights that
l^? had not thought of her much. Now
she burst upon him again with all that
beauty and charm which had so mag
netized him in those glad, golden days,
and the frank cleanness of her girl
hood made him disgusted and
ashamed. It was to fit himself for her
that he had come to town, and what
sort of mess was he making of it?
He was going down instead of up. He
had squandered his little money, and
now he was squandering his life. He
had been drunk. . . .
Dave’s nature was one in whicl|
emotions were accelerated with their
own intensity. And the sudden man
ner in which Reenie had now invaded
his consciousness intensified the black
ness in which he was submerged, aa
lightning darkens the storm. . . »
He saw her on that last night, with
the moonlight wooing her white face,
until his own body had eclipsed it in
a warmer passion, and he heard her
words, “I know you are true and
clean.” . . .
True and clean. “Yes, thank Goh,
I am still that!” he cried, springing
suddenly to his feet and commencing
to dress. “I’ve been spattered, but
nothing that won’t wash off. Per
haps”—and he stopped as the greal
thought struck him —“perhaps it was
the luckiest thing in the world that
the booze did put me out last night
. . . It’ll wash off.” z
Dave turns over a new leaf.
