Were Good for Both.

Panlding, Miss, May 15th.-(Spe.
ciaD-In this neighborhood men and
women alike are telling of the great
benefit they have received from the
use of Dodds Kidney Pills, and it fre-
quently happens they are the means
of curing members of both sexes in
the same family. Take the case OF
Mr.. and Mrs. F. Erby. The latter
voices the sentiment of both when
she says:
my lips cannot express too much
praise for Dodd's Kidney Pills. l suf-
fered with Backache and Female
weakness for four or five years and
feel that have been wonderfully
helped by Dodd's Kidney Pills. My
husband, too, was a sufferer for five
years from weak bladder and they
also cured him."
Dodd's Kidney Pills make healthy
kidneys. Healthy kidneys mean pure
blood and good health all over the
body. No woman with healthy kid
neys ever had female weakness.

from Lanham, Nd, as follows:
"Though somewhat averse to patent

coming a professional affidavit man, it
seems only a plain duty in the present
instance to add my experience to the

Pe-ru.na Contains No Narcotics,
One reason why Peruna has found
permanent use in so many homes is that
it contains no narcotic of any kind. It
can be used any length of time without
acquiring a drug habit.

Brilliant Enough for the Bar.

Clarkson, who fifty years ago was
one of the cleverest counsel practic-
ing at the law courts, was wont to tell
of a humorous incident in which he
figured on one occasion.
He had gone to Danby's, the wig
maker of the Temple, to get his hair
cut, and while the operation was 60
ing on noticed boy of about twelve
years Of age playing in the shop.
Clarkson asked Dandy whether the
boy was his.

"And what do you mean to make of
him?" was the next question.
well, sir, as at present advised,
and without prejudice, if he turns out

him up to my own business; but if he

A great many pigs are lost at far

would be if proper precautions were

OF this loss is due to smothering, and

sosia fled from lis spying place the
moment he saw Clarence Darrell de-
part from the kitchen, correctly sus-
pecting that Clarence knew of the spot
and expecting that the young man
would hasten to it to see what else
might take place below.
And in the latter surmise the willy
sorcerer was right, for Clarence was,
indeed, soon at the cobweb-concealed
opening, and wholly unsuspicious that
his most formidable enemy was still
alive and on the alert.
Lord Genlis and Capt. Osred-only
partially clad, as they had been sleep
ing-were amazed at what they saw
as they rushed into the kitchen.
The whole place was in disorder
from the spasmodic rolling, writhing
and foundering of Neil Bashfort. The
lamps had fallen from the overturned
table, and their flames were f1aring
and sputtering amid platters, dishes
and bottles, and scattered viands;
much smoke and smell of burned gun
powder was in the air, and the con-
vulsed ruftian was quivering and gasp
ing in the throes of his fit as if in the
very agonies of death.
''He is in a fit!" exclaimed Lord
Genlis, the instant his eyes had rest
ed for a moment on Bashfort's swollen
and livid face. "He used to have such
when we were boys together"
"But am now sure heard two pis-
tol shots!" said Capt. Osred, shifting
in the pungent air. II think the ex-
plosions awoke me. I was sinking to
sleep again when the clatter started
both of us to our weapons. But he is
quiet now."
Eyes, he is coming out of it, as they
say. What a start the fellow gave
mel" replied Lord Genlis, righting an
overturned chair and sitting down
heavily. "What start!" and he drew
his shirt sleeve over MS streaming
face. "Why, I was dreaming of that
accursed sorcerer at the moment, and
fancied he was here with the four
sailors-ugh! five dead men!-trying
to strangle Bashfort to get at us. Ugh!
what start!''
And here he, shuddered and wiped
his face again.
"Ha! how are you, Bashfort?" said
the captain, for Bashfort was now try
ing to gain his feet in vague and
clumsy way. "Here-let us help you
to chair
But several minutes passed before
Bashfort's intellect fully returned.

a bloody-looking mark with the lees of
the red Burgundy wine upon the table,

child Of Robert de Lavet and Rachel
Allenstone?"
The hidden sorcerer almost cried
out with surprise, so astonished was
he at the information of Clarence, thus
revealed.
ITO the man who made me commit
the crime" replied Bashfort, his teeth
chattering with terror-"to him who
was as guilty as for he forced me to
the deed! To Zeno Sosia! He should
be in the other world with you, for he
is dead!"

puted son of Zeno Sosia-the young
man called Raymond Sosia-and who,

Clarence feared to protract the con-
versation any longer; nor, indeed,
could ae-for at that instant Bashfort's S
great terror caused the guilty rut1an
to fall into convulsions, during which
he foamed at the mouth, jerked his
limbs violently, and beat the floor
with his fists, head and heels, rolling
over and over in his spasm, upsetting
the table and chairs and benches and
creating such furious clatter that
Clarence hurried from the kitchen into
the corridor, closing the door as he de-
parted, and hearing the approaching
voices of the now aroused Osreds
shouting from their quarters.
"Courage, Bashfort! Courage! We
come! Courage!"
And, in truth, Clarence had not been
ten seconds out Of the kitchen when
the Osreds rushed into it, sword and
pistol in hand.
