already wavering in his intention Of
going on; but ! really ought not to
take advantage Of your kindness. The
fact is am travelling with some valu-
able securities
A sort OF sickness seized George when
he got as far as this, and made him
suddenly stop. For as soon as he men
toned the securities he saw fash of
light on his hostess face. AS he paused,
she took up his speech for him.
If you have anything of much value
about you, that is all tho more reason

And she stepped out quickly from the
dining-room into the hall, drew him in
side the house by an unexpected move

front door behind him before he had

the movements had thrown him.

his hand upon the handle of the door.
But she, laughing rather nervously,
turned the big key in the lock, and
pulling it out in quite leisurely man

sprang, almost at one bound, back to

WHAT THIS man SAYS
Only Re-EchOes the Experience of Hum
dreds OF wilmington Citizens.

II The reader wished for trusy informa-
tion regarding shoes for deformed feet, be
the malformation a simple bat trouble
some bunion Or one whose shape puzzles
the ordinary shoemaker's handicraft to fit,
no better authority in Wilmington or the
surrounding country can be had than
Mr.. J. s Moreland, of 32O Shipley street,
A conversation with him on the topic of
shoes for crippled feet would be doubly
satisfactory and vastly more convincing
than any attempt to CLEAN information
from an advertisement of any expert
living, say in Philadelphia or Boston,
Doubly so Is tho voice of the information
given by Mr. Moreland on he subject OF
crippled backs and what will cure them.
He says: II havo been troubled with my
kidneys about oil my life. AT one time
diabetes was so pronounced that my ply

WAS every possibility Of an attack of
Brigbt's disease. The continual thirst,
the excessive amount of kidney secretons,
tho continued pain across the lolns proved
this to be IL fact, and despite The use OF all
kinds OF medicines as we'll as prescriptions
from the doctors | was unable to obtain
anything which brought permanent re-
suits. found a preparation which help
ed considerably but | was compelled to
use 1t continually. Learning that Doan's
Kidney Pills were good remedy for the
kidneys procured box at Danforth's
drug store OH Market street. 1t gave me
so much relief that keep them constant
ly in the house and take IA dose from time
to time do not expect II radical cure
but the relief obtained from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills convinced me that
they perform exactly what they claim. l
will be only too pleased to give my opinion
of Doan's Kidney Pills in u personal in
