 Everyone stared at Cross. His gaze was fixed and rigid. His hands were outstretched toward some object in the grass near him. His mouth was partly open in horror.
 Following the direction of MT Cross hands, Mir. Twilliger soon saw also the beady eyes and glistening neck. At the same time he heard the buzzing sound which arrested the attention of MT. Cross.
 Living in the country, Twilliger was familiar with the rattle of the dreaded reptile.
 Uttering cry of alarm, he seized a nearby stick and started to attack the snake. Mrs. Twilliger and Mrs. Myers snatched up their respective children and fled out of the danger radius.

lady neighbors called in to have
friendly chat. 1t was not long before
the visitors eye was attracted by

This DIT. Hartr's Iron Tonic will do. Il
has been doing II for forty.fve years
and W other remedy has ever been
held in such universal favor
The kidneys filter impurities out Of
the blood. when the blood is bad the
kidneys get clogged with these pois-

these organs more strength and ac-

Nor can It DO anything but good IL IS
absolutely harmless, and can be given
