Mrs. Isaac Shiffer, OF 1417 Fifth ave.
nue., Rock Island, Ill.,, says "My hus-
band was troubled for two years with
kidney complaint before he found any
thing to help him. The worst symp-
tons he endured were severe pains in
the region of his kidneys and across
his back, and frequent action of the
kidneys which he could not control.
He was unable to stoop or lift any,
thing and he tried many remedies
without obtaining relief. He read of
Doan's Kidney Pills in the paper and
he decided to try them, procured a
box at the Harper House pharmacy
land after using them a short time the
pains and other symptoms left him.

lself and find them to be exactly as
represented. My husband and agree
THAT Doan,s Kidney Pills are the surest
land safest remedy for kidney trouble .

Portable, rose draped porch which shell
tered the door. There was an old
fashioned garden on one side, with a
running flame of hollyhocks hemming
It in. The background was dark green
oak and maple grove, and in clover

on the journey. because, as I'd asked
him, he would have done it if possible.
We went back part of the way we
had come the night before, in the SO lie
grand kind of train, as far as Cleve-,
land, which we reached in the morn
ing quite early. We got out there, for
no fine trains like that stop at the
village near which MIR. Rrett's cous-
ms live, and he said the best thing
we could do would be to drive to the
farm in a motor car. 1t was about
forty miles away. but with good car,
which he could easily get, we wouldn't
be more than two hours, allowing for
bad roads. If we didn't take motor,
we should have to wait half the morn
ing for a slow train, and then have a
drive at the end of six or seven miles
in some kind of a country conveyance.
When 1 hesitated. thinking of ex-
pense, Mr.. Brett explained that among
his many other occupations he had once
acted as a chauffeur, therefore, know
ing the tricks of the trade and being a
sort of professional himself, he could
always hire motor at a nominal price
This settled my doubts. We drove in a
cab to hotel, where he left me with
Nivace, while he went to search for a
car Presently he came back with q
smart gray thing which matched my
clothes, and not only was there a
gray chauffeur to go with it, but a
gray holland coat for me, and gray

Patty. the pretty red haired one.
How do you do?" inquired Ide, the
one with the fringe.
I fancied that they must both be
Mrs. Trowbridge's daughters, but she
continued the ceremony of presenta-
ton by saying:
Patty is Miss Pinkerton, and Ide
is Miss Jay. They. generally stay with
Mr.. Trowbridge and me pretty nearly
all the year round. Patty takes mu-
sic lessons in Arcona twice a week

In at the open gate, with its guardian
apple tree on either side. We sailed
up the avenue under the naples, but
instead of making for the front en-
trance, turned off into farm road
which led round the side of the house,
and the footing of our. horn brought
three women smiling and waving to
door under long, narrow veranda
before we stopped.
One was a TALL thin, middle aged
woman, with gray-brown hair pulled
away from her forehead and done in
a knob at the back of her head. Her
skin was sunburned; she wore black
and white print frock, without so much
as rutfie or tuck, and her sleeves
were rolled up over her sun Drowned
arms above the elbow; she had no real
pretensions of being pretty, and yet,
somehow, she was one of the incest
| looking women l ever saw. She had
| the sort of expression in her eyes and
in her smile you would like your
mother to have, if you could have had
your mother made TO order exactly ac-
| cording to your own ideas.
On her right stood Il very pretty girl
| with dazzling white complexion,
all the whittier for gold powder. of
| freckles, black eyes rather deep set.
dimples and quantity of curly, bright
red hair wound in a crown of braids
round her head. She was in print, too.
but it was blue and very becoming.
| On the tall woman's left was an
other girl, also pretty, though in a
fiorid way. with great blue eyes, full
mouth and a mouse colored fringe
down to her eyebrows. She was more
deliberately dressed than the others,
| with lot of coarse. lace on her blouse
and a pink skirt. But she hadn't the
first two had in spite of their plain
clothes and rolled up sleeves. AL
three waved something excitedly. One
had huge kitchen spoon, another q
book and the third a towel.
"Howdy. Cousin Jim!' cried the nice
woman with the expression. as Mr.
Brett stopped the car in front of the
door. We're mighty glad to see yor
again. This is the young Lady Bulke
ley. isn't it? We're mighty glad to see
her, too, and we're going to try t.
make her as happy as we can"
II knew you would. Cousin Fanny
or I wouldn't have brought her t.
you." said Mr. Brett, jumping out ant
helping me down. But she's Lad,

Shall L? Then I should like you t

hard with Mr.. Brett's Cousin Fanny
and my heart warming to her for he
own sake as well as his. There was
good smell about her of linen dried O.

i without remembering her.
She smiled and pressed my hand
