BRlGANDAGE UNDER THE TURK
circassians the Greatest Offenders In
Asia Minor.

Regarding the brigands OF Asia
Minor, the London Times says: "The
great majority of the brigands are
Circassian immigrants from the eau
cssus, and travellers are generally safe
from attack II they are under the pro-
lection of a member of the brother
hood. The original Turkish, as well
as the Christian, population of Ana
tolia is remarkably peaceable on the
whole, and the lawless element Is al
most entirely composed Of muha-
jiras, or Mussulman refugees from
lands which were once part of the
Ottoman empire, but have now fallen
under Christian rule. The Circas-
slams are the greatest sinners and
seem to make their living mainly by
brigandage and tobacco smuggling.
Some of them get engaged as village
guards or escorts to travellers, and a
few even enter the gendarmerie, but
only, 1t would appear, when they are
tired of more adventurous life. AS
gendarmes they are said to be very
efficient, although they are, of course,
little inclined to look the other way
when any of their old friends are out
on business"

It used to be considered that only urinary and

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
sure to follow Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and
irritable. Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh OF the bladder, pam
or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles;
make your head ache and back ache, cause indi-
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a
sallow yellow complexion, make you feel as
though you had heart trouble; you may have
plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak
and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DIR. kilmer's
Swamp Root the world famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural help
to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is
known to medical science.

CHAPTER XII.
Woman's Wilfuiness,

Joan rode on, silent, furlong be
fore all her men, Behind her sulked
Maurice Won Lynar. Had any been
there to note, their faces were now
strangely alike in feature and yet
more curiously unlike in expression.
Joan gazed forward into the distance
like a soul dead and about to be re-
born, planning new life. Maurice
Won Lynar looked more like naughty
schoolboy whom some tyrant Fate,
rod-wielding, has compelled to obey
against his will.
Soon Castle Kernsberg foated up
like a cloud before them above the
blue and misty plain. But no word
spoke Joan till that purple shadow
had taken shape as stately stone and
lime, and she could discern her own
red lion flying abreast of the banner
of Louis of CORTLAND upon the top
most pinnacle of the round tower.
Then on a little mound without the
town she halted and faced about.
"Men of Hohenstein," said the
Duchess, in clear farreaching alto,
you have followed me, asking no
word of why or wherefore. | have
told you nothing, yet is an explana-
ton due to YOU
at is the will of Joan of the
Sword Hand! It is enough" repeat
The Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1903-1909, 1906-12-11
CHAPTER xi.-Continued.

The Prince of CORTLAND turned an
angry conntenance upon his friend,
but the keen-witted Muscovite looked
so kindly and yet so sadly upon him
that after a while the severity of his
face relaxed as it had been against
his will, and with a quick gesture he
added, Il believe you love me, Ivan,
though indeed your words are no bet
ter than red-hot pincers in my heart >
Love you, LOUISE" cried Prince
Ivan. Il love you better than any
brother have, though they will never
live to thwart me as yours thwarts
you-better even than my father, for
you do not keep me out of my inherit
ance!"
Then in gayer tone he went on:
Il love you so much that | will
pledge my fathers whole army to help
you, first to win your wife next to
take Hohenstein, Kernsberg and Ma
rienfeld And after that, if you are
still ambitious, why-to Plassenburg

Executioner's Son holds That would

and wilful queen
"And for this you ask-?"
Only your love, Louis-only your
love! And, if it please you, the ALI
ance with that Prince of your honor
able house, of which we spoke just
now,"
"My sister Margaret, you mean? |
will do what | can, Ivan, but she also
is wilful. You know she is wilful! |
cannot compel her loye!"
The Prince Ivan laughed.
81 am not so complaisant as you,
Louis, nor yet SO modest. Give me
my bride on the day Joan of the
Sword Hand sleeps in the palace of
CORTLAND, as its princess, and | will
take my chance of winning our Mar
garet's love!"
