CHAPTER xvII.-contlnved.


The Captain, upon the landlords
telling him that there was no other
outlet from the cellar. called his men
and proceeded to drink to their sue
cess. When they had satisfied their
thirst, bound up their scratches, and
laughed little over little Incidents
in the ARRAY, they began to par1ey
with the prisoner, Quentin Waters by
name.
The man being promised safe con-
duct back to Jail, came forth, grin
on his daredevil face Doubt, began
to fit from one to another that they
had spent their strength in taking
the wrong man. They questioned
him. He knew nothing of the pris-
oner or his friends, denied being
Quentin Waters of Long Haut; hoot-
ed at the idea. He was Anthony
Bryne. tinker, on the way to Lon
don in search of work. He had hap
pened in at the inn for bite of sup
per. and had only seen the men as
they rushed out of the house to meet
the Guards. When the men had
pounced upon him he had in despera-
tion defended himself with his cudgel.
He told his story well, and mine
host of the Tabard corroborated what
he said. CONSERVATION came upon
them. One of the men said that
Quentin Waters was gentleman
about town, and that the boor could
not possibly be he. To clap the eli
max, another one asserted with posi-
tiveness that the fellow was not the
prisoner wanted. for he had seen
Quentin Waters often about London.
and that he was at least two inches
taller, and also of a darker COM
plexion.
At this the captain wanted to l,now
why in h-ll he hadn't said so before
The soldier replied that he hadn't
been near enough to get a good look
at him. So with elimination and
recrimination. they were like to have
a small fight among themselves when
the captain hot-mouthed remembered
his dignity. and put the still smiling
fellow under arrest.
It being now too late to go in
search of the man, and a heavy fog
about, they returned to London a sor-

Thought She Couldn't Live.

Moravia. N. Y, June 5.-Mr. Benja
min Wilson. a highly respected resident
OF this place, came very near losing
his wife and now that she is cured and
restored to good health his gratitude
knows no bounds. He says:
MY wife has suffered everything
with Sugar Diabetes. She has been
sick four years. She doctored with
two good doctors but kept growing
worse. The doctors said she could
not live. She failed from 200 pounds
down to 100 pounds. This was her
weight when she began to use Dodd's
Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 100,
is well and feeling stronger every
day.
"She used to have rheumatism SO
bad that it would raise great bumps
all over her body and this is all gone
too.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send
to those who suffer as my wife did.
They are all that saved her. We can't
praise them enough"

"Yet an I were you" she returned.

'It is u long tale" she began, "and

Never mind the chirurgeon," said

THERE ARE FOOLS STILL.

What fools these nortals bel It is
as true today as it was when the words
were put in the mouth of famous
character. Wa refer particularly to the
windy proposition which emanated from
Baker City, Oregon, to provide ma
tional gift for Miss Alice Roosevelt on
the occasion Of her marriage to Congress-
man Longworth. The idea, which blew
out from tho West, was to start q
ten~cent chain Of public subscriptions
and to step them when the aggregate
should have attained the quite respect
able sum Of 100000. Think al the
houses and lots which Miss Roosevelt
could purchase with the gift; Of the
diamond tiaras and Of tho little white
poodle dogs. Those WAC have not gone
adnlstien- crazy over the daughter Of a
president about to set sail on The matri-
monial sea from tho White House haven
looked at the proposition with amuse-
nent9 with foolish feeling for the
persons who set the airship afoat. But
happily their feelings were spared a
further spasm BIZ the prompt action Of
tho President in placing his foot On
the idea, requesting that the gift be
given up. So much to the credit OF
him.
