His One Good Impulse
,i
[Original.]
Frank Brayton was one of those char
acters that In the wild and woolly west
are considered semirespectable. but In
the east soon land lnxst.ite prison. It
Is a question whether the western man
who lives by his wits, his cards and his
revolver is painted better or the east
ern mau who lives by his jimmy, his
drills and his nitroglycerin is painted
worse than the originals. Be this as
It may, Brayton was pretty bad. He
never came up before Judge Lynch,
for he was* not a horse stealer or a
common murderer, yet he had taken
many people's money as a card sharper
and killed many more In disputes.
One evening Brayton, who had at the
thne come to be a middle aged man,
rode Into a hamlet In Sooth Dakota and
noticed a young girl standing In the
door of a cabin. There was something
in her face that arrested his attention,
something that reminded him of the
wife he had loved twenty years before,
when he was an honest and industrious
young man, and whom he had later de
serted. Though a hardened sinner, a
pang shot through him as a ray of sun
light will penetrate some dark and
musty corner, and a desire came to him,
a desire that vaguely united his wife
with this girl. Could he through the
one atone for his cruelty to the other?
"Little gal," he said, reining in his
horse, "d' ye live in there?"
??Yes."
"With father and mother?"
"Mother? that is, I have been brought
up to consider her my mother. But
since I have grown X reckon she ain't."
"Where Is she?"
"She's gone somewheres."
"Do you have to work hard?"
"Yes."
"I'm looking for a girl like you.
How would you like to marry , me?
I've got plenty of money, and you'd
have nothing to do but amuse your
self."
A faint color rose to her face and a
gleam of Interest came into her eyes.
She looked the man over from head to
foot
"I'll be mighty kind to you," he add
ed.
"What would Bill do?"
"Who's Bill?"
"My young feller; but he's poor and
Td have to work a lot."
"Never mind Bill."
Several men were qomlng. and as
Brayton spoke the last words one of
them, a fine looking young fallow,
stepped out from the rest and said:
"Reckon ye will mind Bill, stranger.
I'm Bill and I'd like to know what
ye're monkey ill' round here for?"
"Oh, I ouly asked the gal if she'd like
to marry a man that could give her
plenty of money. She knows best what
she wants."
"Doll}-," said the ypuug man re
proachfully. "have ye been encourag
ing the stranger?"
"Dunno," she replied, apparently un
certain.
"Young man." said Brayton, "reckon
you will have to fight for her."
"I'm yer man," replied the young
ster, casting a reproachful glance at
the girl and a veugeful one at Brayton.
Brayton dismounted, the young
man's friends arranged the terms, and
the principals took positions with re
volvers, the girl looking on. They were
to begin firing at the discharge of a
pistol and continue to do so till one of
them dropped. There was no need,
aowever, for more than the first shot.
Brayton was too quick for the young
nan and sent a bullet into his side,
vhich dropped him. Then, after the
lamage consequent upon her Indecision
:ad been done, the girl plainly showed
ler preference by taking her Bill in
ler arms and going into hysterics.
The lover was carried inta the house
and Brayton was left standing alone
outside. The momentary desire to
anchor himself to something better,
something akin to his only real love,
had but led to a new victim. He
sighed. It was the first time he had
ever sighed at bringing down an
enemy.
Hearing a footstep behind him, he
turned. A woman was approaching
who, the moment she saw him, stopped
and stared at him.
"Are you Frank Brayton?" she asked.
"Yes. And you Moll Bruce?"
"Yes. What ye doln' here? Better
steer clear o' this house yer standln'
before."
"Why?'
"Well, there's some one Uvea there
with me? that's my house?who ye'd
rather not see? that Is, if ye got a
spark o' decency left in ye."
"Doll?" asked the man eagerly, yet
with a shudder.
"No. Doll died In u>; anns, and as
there was no one but me to care for her
baby I took her and brought her up
as my own. I don't want her to know
anything about her father. She's a.'
good girl, and it would bill her."
Then it broke upon Brayton that tt*
only worthy impulse that had come to
him In many years bad been excited by
his own daughter.
"Moll," he said, "go In there. Some
pin's happened. Yon'li find a young
feller wounded, mebbe killed. Do the
best yon can for him and iet me know
!f he lives. You can write me at D.
Goodby. Here, take this for her, and
I'll send more."
He took a * roll of bills from his
pocket and, handing them to tLe wom
an. mounted and dashed away at a
gallop.
After all, Brayton's daughter did not
hare a life of hard work. Brayton was
killed a few months laterjmd left her
a small fortune. She never knew how
It bad been acquired. And- her lover,
who recovered, never knew to whom
Wis wife was Indebted.

Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and

? Iowa Lady Has Great Faith
in Cuticura Remedies for Skin
Diseases.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA
"I had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my arms
and the lower limbs as far as the knees.
I at first thought it was prickly heat.
1 But soon scales or crusts formed where
the breaking out was. Instead of going
to a physician, I purchased a complete
treatment of the Cuticura Remedies, in
?which I had great faith, and all was
satisfactory. A year or two later the
eruption appeared again, only a littlo
lower; but Deforo it had time to spread
I procured another supply of the Cuti
cura Remedies, and continued their use
until the cure was complete. It is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of a return. I
have taken about three bottles of the
Cuticura Resolvent, and do not know
how much of the Soap or Ointment, as
I always keep them with me; probably
cne half dozen of each.
"I decided to give the Cuticura Rem
edies a trial after I had seen the results
of their treatment of eczema on an
infant belonging to one of our neigh
bore. The parent took the child to t ho
nearest physician, but his treatment did
110 good. So they procured the Cut icura
Remedies and cured her with them.
?When they began using Cuticura Rem
edies her face was terribly disfigured
?with sores, but she was entirely cured,
for I saw the same child at the age of
five years, and her mother told me the
eczema had never broken out since. I
have more faith in Cuticura Remedies
for skin diseases than anything I know
of. I am, respectfully yours, Emma E.
Wilson, Liscomb, Iowa, Oct. 1, 1903."
