lions.
Their attention is now directed in
another quarter. and the conversation
wheels around to different subjects.
Both of Joe's companions have had
their respect for the explorer increased
on this morning. first by the brave,
manner in which he went to meet a
foe, who, up to this time, has proven
invincible. and in the second place by
his dexterity in vanquishing that same
individual. They have regarded him
with respect before. but now their
feelings are almost like those of
brother. He is a wonder and mar
vel to them.
Other boats sail upon the broad Nile.
and the picture is one that the student
of nature and peculiar customs never
tires of admiring; for what with the
strange craft. their gaudily dressed
passengers and the setting of old Cairo
in the background. the scene is one
that appeals to all that is romantic.
They see nothing of the rival dab
abeah, but among the scores of similar
boats in sight she may be nearer than
they think. AT any rate, the subject
is one of Indifference now.
A landing is made at the same spot
wnere they embarked. Ere leaving
they settled with the old reis for the
use of the craft.
Different indeed are their feelings
now; when going aboard. the near flu
tlrre was dark and forbidding; it was
like lottery from which they had
just drawn prize. Not one of the
trio seems dissatisfied, save Mr..
Grimes. That worthy shakes his
head seriously number of times and
frowns. as though something weighs
heavily on his mind He can be heard
to mutter, too and the burden of his
complaint is always in tine same
strain:

DR.. COOK
ON
BLADDER TROUBLES

Bladder troubles make life miserable 20
those who suffer from them, and unless
they are promptly overcome they are GER
tain 70 cause serious conditions. Infam-
nation Of the bladder is becoming more
and more common and when neglected il
develops liberation and this may be fol.
lowed by perforation and death. The irri-
table condition that demands frequent
evacuation during the night as we'll as day
time, is a source Of great modification and
discomcomfort to old and young.
DR.. Cook, of Chicago, an authority on
kidney and bladder troubles, says:
at is impossible to find a single agent
that is a specific for this class of troubles,
because there are so many different struc-
lures involved in the organs. However,
we are able to combine the best known
remedies and obtain most excellent re-
suits. The preparation known as FoLEY's
KIDNEY CURE is an ideal combination
/ use it extensively in my practice and find
1t can be employed successfully in every
form Of kidney and bladder trouble"
FoLEY's kidney CURE Is an honest
preparation. It's not decootion Of some
hitherto unknown root or herb claimed to
be a cure-all. Common sense tells US
that such preparations have but little if
any value. FOLEY's KIDNEY CURE con-
tains all the best known agents used by
kidney and bladder specialists combined
In manner that renders them most effec-
tive and pleasant to take. In even the most
hopeless cases It's use gives relief and
when taken In time cannot help but cure
every form Of kidney or bladder trouble.

CHAPTER vi.
Edward Franklin, Lawyer.


Edward Franklin had taken up his
law studies in the Office of Judge
Bradley, the leading lawyer of the 1T
tie village of Bloomsbury, where
Franklin was born. and where he had
spent most of his life previous to the
time of his enlistment In the army.
Judge Bradley was successful, as such
matters so in such communities, and
It was his open boast that he owed
his success to himself and no one else,
Thirty'fye years earlier, a raw
youth from old Vermont, Hollis N.
Bradley had walked into the embry-
onic settlement of Bloomsbury with
a single law book under his arm and
naught but down upon his chin. He
pleaded his first cause before judge
who rode circuit over territory now
divided into three congressional dis
tricts. He won his first case, for his
antagonist was even more ignorant
than he. AS civilization advanced he
defended fewer men for stealing hogs
and more for murder and adultery.
His practice grew with the growth of
the population of the country about
him. He was elected county attorney,
local counsel for the railroad, and
Judge of the Circuit Court He was
mentioned for gubernatorial honors,
and would perhaps have received the
party nomination but for the breaking
out of the civil war. Not fancying
the personal risks Of the army, he
hired substitute, and this sealed his
political fate. for Illinois at that time
did not put in power men who sent
substitutes to the war.
1t was an immemorial custom in
Bloomsbury for the youth who had
aspirations for legal career to read
law" in Judge Bradley's office. Two
of his students had dropped their
