personal guarantee that the trial will
not cost you a penny if it does not give

closed and grown over, and the scalp
is glazed.

Burns Most Common Accident.
Records kept in hospitals, show
that burns are the most common of
accidents, and yet few families
protect themselves against their
results. Dangerous blisters,
making skin grafting necessary
have come from scalds in the kit
chen, because the family had no
special safeguard, to prevent. Now
comes the University of Minnesota,
with the marvelous chemical dis
covery. Benetol, which if kept
close at hand and applied at once to
burn or scald will stop the pain at
once, and prevent blistering. Be
sides this, Benetol is many times
as efficient as peroxide and has a
hundred more uses. Carlson Bros

A CORROBORATION.
O Interest to Willmar Readers.
For months Willmar citizens have
seen in these columns enthusiastic
praise of Doan's Kidney Pills, by
residents of this locality.
Would these prominent people
recommend a remedy that had not
proven reliable?
Would they confirm their state
ments after years had elapsed if
personal exeperince had not shown
the remedy to be worthy of endorse
ment?
No stronger proof of merit can
be had than cures that have stood
the test of time.
The following statement should
carry conviction to the mind of
every Willmar reader.
Mrs. William C. Colwell, Mar
shall Ave.. Litchfield, Minn., says:
The public statement 1 gave in
1907, recommending Doan's Kidney
Pills was correct in every detail.
We used this remedy at that time
in our home with the best of re
sults. Since then I have taken
Doan's Kidney Pills myself and I
am glad to say that they have
brought relief from backache and a
feeling of languor."

Kk
ELLOGG let his chair fall for
ward and rose, imprisoning
Nat's shoulders with two
heavy but kindly bands.
"And you're right!" he cried heartily.
"I'm glad you had the backbone to
back out, Nat. It was a low down
trick, and I'm ashamed of myself for
proposing it. I did it, I presume, sim
ply because I'm a schemer at heart
and I knew It would work. It did
work, but it's worked a finer way than
I dreamed of—it's made a man of you,
Nat. and I'm mighty glad and proud
of you!"
Nat swayed with amazement
"What's changed you all of a sud
den?" he demanded blankly.
Releasing him, Kellogg resumed his
seat, laughing. "Well, a number of
things. Among others, I've talked with
Graham, and I've met his daughter."
"Oh-h!"
"And that reminds me"—Kellogg
changed the subject briskly—"I under
stood from you that Graham .was sole
owner of that patent burner."
"So he Is."
"He says not. I had a proposition to
make him from the Mutual people, and
he referred me to you. saying that you
controlled the matter."
"I've not the slightest Interest in It,*
Nat protested.
"I know you haven't, but Graham in
sisted you owned the whole thing. I
pressed him for an explanation, and
he finally furnished one in his ram
bling, inconsequent, fine old way. He
admitted that there wasn't any sort
of Existing contract or agreement of
any kind, even oral, between you, but
just the same you'd been so good to
him and his girl that he'd made up his
mind—some time ago, I gather—to
make you a present of the burner, but
naturally he forgot to tell you about
an insignificant detail like that."
"Of course that's nonsense. 1
wouldn't and sbau't accept"
"Of course you won't. I did you
the honor to discount that. But he
wouldn't say a word about the offer,
yes or no—just left it all up to you.
He says you're a .business man and
that lie's often thought what a help
yon must have been to me before you
left New York."
Nat laughed outright "Can you beat
that? But what is the offer?"
"Fifty thousand cash and 10,000
shares of preferred stock—$100 par."
"What's that worth?"
"At the market rate when I left town
78." Ivellogg waited a moment "Well,
what do you say?"
"Say? Great Caesar's ghost! What
is there to say? Wire 'em an accept
ance before hey get their second wind.
You don't tow how good this makes
me feel, Harry. I can't thank you
"SO WX'TB FOUND YOU. SH?"
•nough for what you've done. Thls'll
square me with Graham to some ex
tent, and I can clear out"—
"No, you can't. Mr. Smarty! You
ain't been cute enough."
Both men. startled by the interrup
tion, wheeled round to discover Roland
Barnette dancing with excitement in
the doorway, the while he beckoned
frantically to an invisible party with
out. "Come on!" be shouted. "Here
be is!"
"What's eating'you. Roly Poly?" In
quired Nat too happy for the money
to cherish animosity even toward his
onetime rfval.
"You'll find out soon enough," snarl
ed Roland. "Mr. Lockwood's got some
thing to say to you. I guess."
And on the heels of this announce
ment Lockwood strode into the store,
Josie clinging to his arm, Pete Willing
—a trifle more sanely drunk than he
had been some hours previous—bring
ing up the rear.
"So," snarled Blinky. halting and
transfixing Nat with the stare of his
cold blue eyes—"so we've found you,
ehr
"Oh? I didn't know 1 was lost"
"No nonsense, young mail I ain't
In the humor for foolih'." Blinky was

"BOIiY." SAID HE, "BALAAM MUST MISS
YOU TEBBIBI-iY."
unquestionably in no sort of humor
at all beyond an evil one. "I come
here to have a word with you."
"Well, sir?" Nat's tone and attitude
were perfectly pacific.
"Ah, there ain't no use beatin' round
the bush. You've behaved yourself
ever since you come to Radville and
lnsinooated yourself into our confi
dence, 'spite of the fact that nobody
in town knows who you were before
you came. But now Roland's laid a
charge agin you, and I want to know
the rights to it."
"Well," Roland Interposed cockily,
"I accused him of it tonight, and he
didn't deny it"
"What's more," Lockwood continued,
with rising color, "Roland says be can
prove It."
"Prove what?" Nat Insisted. "Get
down to facts, can't you?"
"That you're a thief, with a reward
out for you." said Roland. "You're
that Mortirnnr Henry what absconded
from the Longacre National bank in
Noo York."
There fell a brief pause. Nat bowed
his head and tugged at his mustache,
his shoulders shaking with emotion va
riously construed by those who watch
ed him. Presently he looked up again.
his features gravely composed.
"Roly," said be. "Balaam must miss
you terribly
"That ain't no answer." Lockwood
put himself solidly between Nat and
the object of his obscure remark, who
was painfully digesting it. "I want to
know about this. You got my daugh
ter to say she'd marry you this even
in', and you've got to explain to me
about this bank business before it
goes any further."
"Yes?" commented Nat civilly.
"Yes!" thundered Blinky. "Do you
deny it? Answer me."
To Kellogg's huge diversion Nat
struck an attitude. "I refuse to an
swer," said he.
"Aha! What'd I tell you?" This
was Roland's triumphant crow.
"Nat!" Josie advanced, trembling
With excitement "Tell me. what does
this mean?"
Duncan perforce avoided her gaze.
"Don't ask." he said sadly.
"Is it true?" she insisted.
"You heard what Roly said," he re
plied, with a chastened expression.
"Then you admit it?"
"I admit nothing."
"Oh-h!" The girl drew away from
him as from defilement "I—I hate
you!" she cried in a voice of loathing.
"That's all right." he told her se
renely. "I've despised myself all even
ing."
The girl showed him a scornful
back. "Papa"— she began.
"Don't thank me. Josie. Roland
done it all. He got on to him." Lock
wood continued to watch Duncan with
the air of a cat eying a mouse.
Impulsively Josie moved to Roland's
side and caught his arm. He drew
himself up proudly.
"I do thank you. Roland. I can nev
er be grateful enough. I've been so
foolish."
"That's all right" Roland tucked
the girl's hand beneath his arm and
patted it down "You wasn't to bin me
I never seen any one from Noo York
yet that wasn't a'crook."
"Won't you please take me away
from this—^place, Roland?" she ap
pealed.
"I'll be mightly glad to see you
home, Josie," be assured her generous
ly, turning.
In .the act of leaving Josie caught
Nat's eye. She hung back for an In
stant, withering him with a glare.
•Oh-h!" she cried. "How did you dare
pretend to care for me?"
He bowed politely. "It was one of
the rules, Josie."
"There's no need to tell you, I guess,
that the engagement is broken."
"None whatever, Miss Lockwood.
Good evening."
"Come. Roland!"
Arm In arm they left, with the
haughty tread of the elect, while Pete
Willing lurched to Duncan's side and
caught his arm.
"Come 'long to jail, Mish'r Duncan,"
he said, with sympathy. "Mush bes

You look after" him, Pete." Lock*
wood turned to leave with a final shot
for Duncan. "I'll tend to your case in
the mornin', young man, and I'll make
you wish you never came to- this
town."
"You needn't trouble. I feel that way
about it already. Good night"
Lockwood left them, snarling. Nat
caught Kellogg's eye and began to gig
gle. But Pete was still holding him
fast, partially, beyond doubt, for sup
port
"You've been saved Just in time,
Mish'r Duncan," he commented. "Y' are
mighty lucky man. Now, lissen: you
better make tracks. I ain't got no war
rant to hold you. 'nd I wouldn't if I

"You're a good fellow, Pete, but you
needn't worry. I'm not the man they

"Waal," said Pete, "jus' the same,

"No, I won't" -:•=,

"Luck!" Nat seized his hat and be
gan to turn off the lights. "It's more
luck than I thought there was in the
whole world. Come along."
"Where are you going?"
"First to see Lockwood and have it
out with him."
"No, you aren't," Kellogg laughed as
Nat locked the door. "You're going
to leave Lockwood to nie. I'll manage
to ease his mind. You've got infinite
ly more important matters to attend
to, and the sooner you find her the
better, Nat!"
As Duncan hurried homeward the
rolling of the thunder grew sharp,
more instant upon the flashes. When
there was no wind the air seemed to
quiver with terror, as a dog cringes to
the whip.
But of this Duncan was barely con
scious.
He gained the gate in the fence of
wood paling, opened it and entered.
The lawn and bouse were lit with the
unearthly radiance of moonlight threat
ened by eclipse. He could see the
light in Graham's study and through
the open doors the faint glow of the
hall lamp. But there was no one
visible.
He hurried up the path, tortured by
impatience, fear, longing, despair.
Then be saw what seemed at first a
pale shadow detach itself from darker
shades in the shrubbery and move to
ward him.
"Nat, is it you?"
"Betty!"
His whole heart was In that cry

though a master hand had struck a
chord upon her heartstrings. ,'
"Nat, what—what is it?"
"Betty, I want to tell you some
thing."
She came very slowly toward him,
torn alternately by fear and hope.
What did he mean?
"Do you happen to remember that I
told you awhile ago I was engaged to
Josie Lockwood?"
"Nat! Could I forget? Why?"
"Because it's broken off, Betty."
"Broken off! How? Why?"
"Because it bad to be, sweetheart—
because I love you."
She was very close to him then. Her
uplifted face shone like marble in tli«»
fading light
"Nat. I—I don't understand."
"Then listen. I must tell you. It
was all a plan, a scheme, my coming
here, Betty. Everything I did. said,
thought, was part of a contemptible
trick. I meant to marry Josie Lock

money. Now you know What I was.

the same man who. came to Radville
ten months ago. I've learned a little
to understand the right, I hope. I've
learned to love and reverence goodness
and purity and unselfishness, and—and
I want to be a man, the kind of man
you thought me, a man worthy of
you and your love, Betty, because I
love you. I want you to be my wife.
And—oh, Betty, Betty—I need you to
help me!"
His voice broke. He waited, every
nerve and fiber of him tense for her
answer. While he bad been speaking
the onrush of the storm had blotted
out the moon. There was only dark
ness there In the garden—deep, dense
darkness—so thick be could not even
see the shimmer of her dress.
Then suddenly she was in his arms,
shaking and sobbing, straining him to
her.
"Oh, Nat,* my Nat! I've loved you
from the first day I ever saw you!
You know I have."
"Betty—sweetheart!"
There came an abrupt, furious patter
of heavy drops of water beating upon
the foliage, .splashing and rebounding
from the house.
"Forever and ever, Nat?'
"Forever and ever and a day, my
dear—my dear!"
A little later an anxious voice—old
Sam's—hailed them from the how

but was drowned by the downpour.
They were as unconscious of it as of
the storm.
So that presently old Sam had to
run down the path with a big um
brella to shit Id them until they should
come to their senses.
THE END.
LOST CHANCES.
Oh, the unused foundations of
character which stand along our
human street and make the city of
our human life so tragical! Oh, the
bodily vigor which has never been
