BOthin5 but Praise From all Sources
Stands High in the Estimation OF
Those Who Have Tested its
Merits.

There is no doubt whatever as to the
merits of Morrow's Kid-ne-oids judging
from the good results obtained right here
in this state. Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are
used daily by many Pennsylvania citizens
and they all testify without any hesitancy
about the great good they have received
by the use of this great kidney prepara-
ton Kid.ne-oids will positively cure
knidney backache, dizziness, sleepless-
ness, nervousness and all urinary dis
orders arising from a disordered cond!-
ton of the kidneys. Another citizen
adds his testimony as follows:
Mr.. VIM. Reese, ST nth Street, South
Side, Pittsburg, Pa, says:-''I have been
troubled FOR some time with pain in my
back which was caused by constant
walking or being on my feet. 1t would
make me restless at night so l could not
sleep. When l saw Morrow's Kld-ne-olds
so highly recommended l concluded to
give them a trial In a few days they
relieved me anil have not been troubled
with pains in my back since. can

We Iifted the blanket from of the corpse
there. / heard Jack calculate hoarsely
"Well2" but his face was averted.
Then the squatter, in his quiet but
somewhat formal way, said:
This man, learn from these letters,
is the son of one whom once | consider
ed my friend. His mother and my sister
were at school together. His name is
John Farquharson. Perhaps, under the
circumstances, l may as well tell you
that only few years ago he had every
reason to consider himself independent,
but on the death of his father a sorry
state of affairs transpired and he found
himself penniless. j had heard about
his misfortunes and was aware that he
intended emigrating to Australia Then
his mother wrote to me to the effect
that she had extracted from him re-
luctant promise that he would come out
to one of my stations. | believe there
were some remote prospects of his com
ing into some money, and something
else that l needn't talk about now. But
he never came to me- | was sorry, how
ever, to hear, in an official capacity,
that he'd been seen in company that
he'd have done well to have avoided;
but I'm not at liberty to talk of that.
Now that look at him, l can see the
family resemblance-he is John Farqu-
harson beyond doubt. -

chances of getting away if the niggers
come after them; but considering what
has occurred, III risk it-shan't have
much time to go horse hunting in the

boiling on the fire. | was about to lift
it off and put on our own, when Jack
stopped me.

for him is good enough for us He
won't lave lighted that fire for nothing.
Dick, Just think, if / hadn't been after

and try to get some sleep. I'll keep
lookout want big smoke and good

l rolled myself in my blanket on
clear spot some little distance from the
fire Then, what with the exhaustion
caused by the fever and the abatement
of the excitement, l was soon in deep
sleep
1t may have been only few minutes
later when | awoke with start.
Jack " l cried, lit must be close on

long Listen, don t you hear anythingr"
There was no mistaking the sound.
1t was the deep, full tone of bull
frog bell. Judging from its wavering,
mellow pitch, it must have been about
three miles distant.
"That's lucky" said Jack. ''Some-
body travelling. Can't be with bullocks
or we'd have passed them. Must be
horses. You see, it's Is miles from the
last water. They've only been able to
make half the distance and have turned
