HELEN MOONS CASE.

New Providence, la, Oct. 13th.-The
wonderful case of little three year old
Helen Moon continues to be the talk
of the neighborhood and everyone is
rejoicing with Mr.. and Mrs. E. V. Moon,
the happy father and mother.
It wall be remembered that this
sweet little girl was given up by the
doctors with Dropsy. She was so far
gone that her eyes were closed up and
her body bloated till it was purple
After everything else had failed
Dodd's Kidney Pills were used and to
the joy and surprise of everyone she
commenced to improve
This improvement resulted in COM
plete good health and she continues to
keep strong and we'll and without the
slightest symptom of the Dropsy left.
The doctors are as much bewildered
as anyone at the wonderful cure of
this desperate case.

CHAPTER XVI.

Griswold had landed in Wahaska
on the day following his fight from
St. Louis, too ill to care much about
anything. But he was sane enough
to find bank, to rent safety de-
post box and to lock the treasure
into it before he resigned himself to
the inevitable, allowing himself to
be put to bed in his room at the
St. James, with hot water bottles at
his feet and bag of chopped ice on
his head.
For a fortnight he hung tremulous
on the verge of collapse, and was
kept from tumbling in only by just
horror of being seriously i'll in a
hotel. At the end of the fortnight
he made shift to go out and find a
boarding place; and the effort, cou-
pied with the conviction that he
might safely trust himself in the
hands of motherly Mrs. Holcomb,
pushed him over the verge.
Here DR.. Farnham found him toss
ing in delirium, and his verdict was
promptly pronounced.
"Typhoid-malaria, Mrs. Holcomb;
and relapse, at that. What are
you going to do with him?''
"What should I do but take care
of him?' said the motherly one.
"You can't do it alone; it's no
woman's job"
'Then we must get man. There's
Sven Oleson; he's out of work.

CHAPTER XIV.

When Margery entered her ia

triumph at Raymer's expense, her
plan of campaign had taken a more
definite shape. The president was
busy at his desk, but he turned to

Margery waged relentless war with
her inclination to lapse into the
speech of the mining camps, but she
still stumbled now and then.
Il guess not; I've never had much
use for him.
'Why haven't you?"
"Oh, don't know; it's a stand

offered to incorporate his outfit for
him six months ago, and told him

Margery's laugh might have meant
anything from applause to derision.
= 'How singular! But now he is
willing to let you help him?''
''Not that way. He wants to bor-
row money of the bank and give a
mortgage on the plant. It's safe

"New York, he says"
"Humph! that's odd. I should saw

"Plenty, I think. He paid a month

he told me where to find his pocket

"Poor fellow! I guess he was glad
enough to find somebody he could
trust. Well, We'll do what we can
for him, and I'll send Sven"
So it came about that the mild
eyed Swede was installed as Girls
wold's nurse. Luckily Oleson UNDER

mans rawlings about the bank rob-
berry meant nothing to him; but DR..

It was the first of May when Girls

a full month later when DR.. Farm
ham pronounced him out of danger
and in fair way to recover if he
took care of himself.
During the weeks of convalescence
he met many of Mrs. Holcomb's
friends and neighbors, and among
them the Raymers. The mother
and daughter came with dainties for
the widows invalid; and later on
they brought Edward, who was book

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
Its more often, however, the cause Of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable to become seri ously de-
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases
OF the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, utuntil the true cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhea med;-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must be treated
