There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfils every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it. or bad effects following use OF liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp.Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

upon a settlement in advance and to
threaten; but the pressure upon Ray
mond should come from his mother.
She therefore determined to carry out
her original intention, call on that
lady, and have plain talk Her sur.
prise was complete when at the mo-.
ment that decision was reached the
card of Mrs. BroolSin was brought to
her room-complete, because not only
was the visit of this lady most, as
touishing thing, but upon that card
was sign for which she was instruct
ed to look in every instance-two peri
DDS following the name. The meaning
of the two periods was that the visitor
had message to be sent by word of
mouth only and that she might be
trusted.
BY what means the visitor knew of
her Louise was not informed; but she
had been given name and directed to
register under it, and she readily
guessed. She at once said, after the
formal greetings were over:
II perceive, madam, that your
mourning has reached the second pc
Rod" The visitor moved her chair
close and made statement, carefully
worded, of considerable length, and
this Louise was required to repea over
and over until its main points were
fixed in mind 1t related to cabinet
meeting of the day before Mrs.
Brookin then offered few comments
upon the weather and the unfortunate
war and would have arisen, but Louise
detained her. She said bending over
her:
you have son in the war Depart
ment who is in great danger, and his
indiscretion has endangered you and
our whole system"
"Lower!-speak lower, for Gods
sake!"
"He has grossly deceived and
wronged woman named Louise, and
has been rash enough to let her into
his and your secrets"
Mrs. Brookin was almost unable to
articulate; the other handed her
glass of water.
where is she-this Louise?" she
asked then.
Madam, she stands before you"
Louise had then and there part of
her revenge; the elder woman, in spite
of all her experience, gave way to
sudden panic. But only few moments
was she absolutely helpless. Habit and
the calm face before her restored her
presence of mind.
''What is it we can do for this woman
who has been so badly treated? She
has no cause to doubt me. Tell me
how may serve her" Her voice was
calm and insinuatingly conciliatory.
''She demands public marriage.

CHAPTER XII.


When Virginia seeded and her
young men rushed to the front, among
the first to seek commission was
Raymond Holbin. This was in the
days when most people believed that
the military feature of secession
would prove little more than a grand
spectacular demonstration. Gradu-
ates Of West Point were at once in
great dsmand, and backed by the
Brookin influence Holbin was APP
pointed captain of infantry among
the state troops, no search of his rec
ord being at the time possible; but
when the state transferred her troops
to the confederate government, and
Holbin sought a colonelcy, advancing
In support of his application the fact
that he had been an officer in the reg
ular army, the matchless memory of
the southern president recalled his
history. Jefferson Davis had been sec
rotary Of war at the time the Holbin
court-martial was held, and the rec
ord coming before him for review, he
had promptly approved the sentence
of the court. A long struggle to Sc
cure modification of the sentence
had followedt-and in this struggle
many politicians had been arrayed by
Holbin's mother, but in vain. The
sentence stood; and these people new
er forgot the issues involved; the
Holbins hated Jefferson Davis. The
name "Holbin" had chung to the mem
DRY of the hero of Buena Vista; he
declined to appoint Raymond Holbin
or to commission him in any way to
command honorable men. The deci-
sion was in harmony with his devo-
ton to his principles, devotion that
was destined to make him in the end
the most unfortunate of American
statesmen.
This new public reflection upon Hol
bin filed him with an ungovernable
rage. Had safe opportunity offered,
hs would not have hesitated tc send
bullet through the heart of the man
who was responsible for it. Indeed,
he armed himself, and for many
months was convinced that he might
at any moment be dedicated to the
discharge of patriotic duty. The
president of the confederacy walked
daily In the presence of death, for
fanaticism and desperate men sur
rounded him. His safety lay in the
fact that he walked in the sunlight,
where the results of an attack prom
ised never less than life for life. And
Raymond Holbin was not the man
to barter his away; he bided his time.
A far more dangerous enemy was his
mother, who numbered official ac-
quaintances in Washington by the
scores, and who knew when and
where to plant the deadliest blow.
This woman, secure in her social posi-
ton, displaying by her own efforts
and tho efforts Of her stepdaughter
in hospital work devotion to the
southern cause, was in secret fast bal
ancing accounts with Jefferson Davis.

That six o'clock tea was the tri-
umph of a brilliant dip.omatst's ca
reer. Louise was forgiven. caressed,
received back as member of the
family, her claims and wrongs ac-

perience had given her better control
of her nerves; her life, when away
from Holbin, carried more masculine
note; most women who go to school in
Washington acquire it. She had come
to Richmond with the full intention of
seeing Mrs. Brooliin, forcing settle
ment of her claims upon Raymond, and
securing her child. OF success as to
the latter she felt assured; the other
was doubtful. In the hour after her
last interview with Raymond it came
to her as an inspiration that she now
had a weapon in her hand that would
beat down any guard, pierce any ar

ton with the enemy and had gigantic
enterprise afoot. She had but TO insist

understand that this logic with him
was conclusive,

"Then ! CO." she said. "but how?"
Il shall prepare way" said Holbin.
But when he was gone Louise, free
from the influence of his personality,
began to feel all her suspicion and dis
trust returning. She reviewed calmly
but bitterly his life with her; 1t had
been succession of receptions and ut
terly selfish. She asked herself over
and over what recourse would she
have if he should slip away and leave
her in Richmond, and gradually, as she
considered his manner, she became
convinced that he intended nothing
more or less so far as she was con-
cerned. The spirit which had sustained
her during the past year returned,
and she felt herself full of fight. Elk
