from Wetzel as to their next move
Presently the noise began to increase
: gradually, getting more distinct ant
less like thunder than before. Th,
young man had never heard any
thing just like it before and he wa.
about to express his wonder ant
alarm, when Wetzel broke into 6
loud laugh and rolled around in the
foot print and kicked up his heels as
though he had lost his reason. Ant
his companion really believed that
such was the case, until the old hunt.
er sobered down long enough to an.
nounce that the noise, that had now
become terrific, was no other than
the welcome sound of Grant GrifIith's
nose.
Under cover of the rumble, sput-
ter, gasp and shrek of Grants mar
velous trombone solo. the hunters
went boldly into the town and right
up the middle of the street like Hen
Peters used to when he carried the
bank cash to and fro between the
several banks. AS they strobe bold
ly up the street they saw Frank Oyer
guarding the new city hall corner
stone, to keep the triumphant fol-
lowers of his successful competitor
from chiseling his name off of it.
When the hunters came up to where
Frank was standing, they found that
he had gone to sleep on his post, and
that some of his enemies had slipped
in and turned several of Contractor
Karg's beautiful tan colored stones
inside out, SO they would lie not
properly in the wall. The hunters
looked with sadness upon this fiend-
ish effort to throw discredlt upon the
seventy-fve thousand dollar monu-
ment to the enterprise and glory of
the eX-guardian of the city's ex-
chequer, and as they passed out they
dropped tear to his official memory
and sadly kissed him for his great
grandmother.
The long tramp and the exposure
to the weather had somewhat stiff
ened the hunters and they had felt
pains in the back, in the regions Of
the kidneys. Having read leading
editorials in the three newspapers of
the town, together with testimonials
from local suffers of kidney troubles,
they visited the. drug store of A. Dav-
idson and procured box Of Doan's
Kidney pills, and took as directed. A
perceptible relief was noticed from
the first few doses, and they realized
that the medicine was a rare remedy
of curative and corrective proper
ties, and one deserving to be known
to all suffering from any form of kid
ney troubles. Price 80 cents box or
6 boxes $3.50.
Feeling that their livers were not
all right and that their lights were
sixteen candle power, they stole
softly through the deserted streets,
listening as they went for the gentle
snore of the beautiful captive. The
strained ears of the hunters were not
rewarded, however, by the sound
they sought. They grew bolder and
throwing themselves upon their
stomachs they crawlcd close to the
wigwams of the enemy and again
listened intently. Evidently it was
not Roses night for snoring. or else
she was lying awake, possibly think
ing of her Albert, or what she would
wear to the next scalp hop, or some
thing else. The thought maddened
our hero and he could scarcely hold
him self in check. He grew so restive
that the old hunter was constrained
to leave him to the fate that the
young mans impatience seemed
bound to bring upon him. However
when the old hunter at length con-
cluded to give up the search for the
night and seek some place where
they could overlook the town the
next day, and watch for Rose, and II
possible let her know of their pres
ence, the young hunter readily ac-
GUESSED and followed the other out
from among the wigwams and off to
the North toward the mountain in
the plain, where the rock upon which
George Wetzel's corn eradicator was
advertised, had been pointed out by
Lewis Wetzel the day before.
The hunters met with no mishaps
and finally reached the bottom of
Mount Pleasant, and after resting
for brief season, they sought it's sum
nit. There still remained few
hours OF darkness before the dawn of
the coming day and the hunters laid
down among the rocks and pulling
comforts up around their chins they
buried their heads IN their pillows
and slept until the whistle at the
Eagle Works awoke them at break
fast time the next morning.
