Comfortable that's why

A Sensible Cigarette
mean mil
Many other good ciga-
rettes besides Fatimas
taste mighty good
WHILE you are smok-
ing them
But Fatimas deliver
something more than
good taste. They will
give you cigarette com-
fortcomfort while you
are smoking them and
comfort AFTER you
smoke them.
While you are smok
ing them they will feel
cool and comfortable to
the throat and tongue.
And AFTER you
smoke them even
though you may smoke
more than usual they
will leave you feeling as
you'd like to feeL No
heavy or "heady" feeling
none of that
feeling of having smoked
too much.
You should try
Fatimas.

to have been within sight of II. gave me
a prelly detailed detcrlpUou of ll locality.

down and see ihe bole' with my own
ryea. If ll etitted. I had been tiding all
day through Uie pine foreat and ahortly
before sundown I heard some rifle shots.
I rode In the direction of the sound and
lying my horse to a tree proceeded on
foot. Suddenly I came to the tiro rock of
one or the most wonderful chasms I believe
un earth. At my feet the wall pitched
down perpendicularly several thousand
reel. Nearly a mile across Ihe big sink
1 oh- rose the optmslte wall.

"The end walls were about two miles
r.psrt and all four sides of this awful
abyss were perpendicular snd It wss ap-
parently enclosed and Inaccessible. At
the bare or the opposite wall I saw what
looked like rock houses and a wide cavern
and smoke ascending front these houses
indicated they were occupied. I crawled
around a long distance near the rim rock
to see If there was any 'visible entrance.
dux ssw none soon 1 saw a pun "i
.smoke in ihe bottom or the hole and a
bullet whined so close to my race thsl It I
made me Jump to shelter. A volley of
shots followed from the same direction.
Hidden from view 1 saw a score of man
hurrying towsrd Ihe opposite side of the
hole end concluded ihey were coming up
to get me. 1 hurried bark to my horse
snd ss Ihe sun went down 1 rode In Ihe
dark aa rar aa able before camping and
started early next morning on my return

The inhabitants or Devil's Hole are said
to be thoroughly organized and pledged
by oath to kill any traitor of the gang and
woe be to the luckless stranger or Intruder
who dares to Invade their dark and mys-
terious abode. Their leader is absolute
king and their only law is his orders.
