that the heiress would put up big price
to run the murderer down."
Hendricks assumed lifel;ke express
sion of embarrassment. He took out
his handkerchief and blew his nose till
he was red in the face. Denham pointed
at him, and his companions entered the
room and stood round smiling.

"How do you know that?" questioned
the detective, with well-assumed start.
"When my men have nothing to do

Hendricks, and there was much of gen.

said Denham, patronizingly, and he
touched Hendricks arm. "There is no
harm done, hope. Iwsh you well in

the truth, I'm rather sorry you are not

1t was now Hendricks turn, and
again he winked the eye next to the doc
tor.
"I don't see where the glory will come
in" he said. anybody could run down

Denham was unable to conceal the
effect the words had on him. He pulled
at his cigar, his restless gaze averted
from the face of the half smiling de-
tective.
"Is that your belief, Hendricks?" he
said, finally, with weak assumption of
amusement
Does it look like the work of ra-
tional mind?" questioned Hendricks.
Denham shrugged his shoulders un-
easily.
"You perhaps forget that Gielow
might now want it to appear that he
is and was insane"
perhaps So" agreed Hendricks.
"You fellows are better calculated to
Judge than I, with the case well in

An Evidence of Prosperity.

II is generally conceded by economists,
who study the commercial situation OF the
country, that the great arteries Of railway
travel are sure indication Of its condition.
A depression in commercial lines means
abandoned business trips and the cancella-
tion Of pleasure travel, while healthy con.
dition of affairs means business trips and an
increase Of passengers on pleasure bent.
A good evidence that business revival
has gone broadcast over this country is the

it and offered to explain if we would

characters" smiled Hendricks.

we have had three hoaxes attempted on
us. Only this morning a young man

Lampkin saw Hendricks eyes flash
involuntarily, and then his face became

he asked, indiiferently.
"Oh, | don't remember. l was very

boys laughing about it. 1t was the work

The stonelike attitude OF Hendricks
as he listened showed absorbing inter

off and he said, lightly:
''Let me see the thing, if it's lying

Denham knocked the ashes from his
cigar.
"Oh, it isn't worth your notice! We

ROYAL HARpIsTs.
Period of the Harp's His
tory Was In 1O0S. .Ed

When Christianity obtained a tri-
umphant foothold in Ireland, about
425 A. D., the decline of the harp as
a sacred instrument began, although
it was retained for time in the
sanctuary. In the closing years of
the twelfth century laymen were per-
mitted to become harpists.
The medieval age witnessed the
most stirring and romantic period of
the harp's history. King Griffith ap
Conan brought it from Ireland into
Wales and gave it royal standing in
1908. King, noble and gentleman
found an ability to play the instru-
ment mandatory qualification i'm
posed by their social position. Many
minstrels and troubadours became
very proficient performers and re-
galed the courts OF Europe and the far
east with its resonant melodies. teach
ing the harpist's art to kings, princes
and royal favorites. King James Of
Scotland and Mary Queen Of Scots
were among the rulers who are re-
corded to have mastered the harmony
Of the harp. Good Queen Bess," how
ever. instituted crusade of persecu-
tion against the whole fraternity of
wandering harpists. with the purpose
of exterminatirg the entire race Of
Irish bards. Thus was the harp driven
from the isle of the Druids. bIt not un-
til 1t had secured a permanent place
in the field of the national banner and
had bequeathed to "Tara's Halls" an
immortal fame.-Forrest Crissey, in

THE NEW METHOD OF
BLOOD PURIFYING.
What the New Discovery in Medical
Science Has Accomplished.
Prompt Way Yourself When
Blood Is Out OF Order.
THE EMINENT SPECIALISTS FREE OFFER TO ALL
READERS OF THIS PAPER.

For great many years it has been
the custom for sick people to say: "My
blood is out OF order. 1t needs purify
ing. feel all used up. Ny skin needs
clearing. My brain feels tired"
They are right, but do they act right?
They generally go and get laxative
(bowel cleaner) to purify their blood.
Does their blood run through their
bowels?
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs, in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by sour kidneys.
All the blood in your body passes
through your kidneys every three min
utes.
The kidneys strain or filter out the i'm
purities of the blood-thatis is their work.
Purifying your blood is not a ques-
ton of taking laxative or physic.
Does your blood run through your
bowels?
NudI the DOWtl-cledueT uotS 10 "
throw out the poisons confined in your
bowels ready for absorption into your
blood, but the poisons which are already
in your blood, causing your present
sickness Il kaVes there.
There is no other way of purifying
your blood except by means Of your kid
neys.
That is why bowel-cleaners fail to do
their work-they fail to help the kid
neys.
When you are sick, then, no matter
what you think the name Of your dis
ease is, the first thing you should do is
70 afford aid to your kidneys by using
DR.. Kilmer's swamp-Root the great
Kidney Remedy.
In taking Swamp-Root you afford
natural help to nature, for Swamp-Root
