Owing to the heavy load which the

The affair at Ashtabula, o., early yes

been a plan of the kidnappers to dis
cover whether Whitla is sincere In his

satisfy themselves that the father will
secretly pay the money for the return
of his son.

MAKE THIS UP AT YOUR HOME

Here is simple homemade mixture
as given by an eminent authority on
Kidney diseases, who makes the state
ment that it will relieve almost any
case Ct Kidney trouble if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease. He
states that such symptoms as lame
back, pain in the side, frequent desire
to urinate, especially at night; painful
and discolored urination, are readily
overcome. Here is the recipe. Try it
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Take teaspoonful after each
meal and &C bedtime.
These ingredients are all harmless
and easily mixed at home by shaking
well in a bottle. This mixture has a
peculiar healing and soothing effect up
on the entire Kidney and Urinary
structure, and often overcomes the
worst forms of Rheumatism in just a
little while. This mixture is said to
remove all blood disorders and cure

system all uric acid and foul, decom-
posed waste matter, which cause these

Dick stood for moment. At first he
did not fully realize what it all meant
Then the full depth of his betrayal
flooded him. 'What?' he cried. 'Pay-

Again the minister's voice fell upon
their ears, repeating the solemn words
"And have declared the same before
God and in the presence of these wit
nesses, pronounce them husband and
wife. What God hath joined together
let no man put asunder."
Dick, shaken and hurt, slowly sank
to his knees, covering his face with his
hands. A dry sob shook his frame.
Here was the end Of all his hopes,
here the sad reward for years of toll
and waiting.
''Now you know why you can't stay
here" said Allen, his tones full of
| pity.
'NOW I know"
Dick staggered to his feet and start
ed blindly away from the house.

"Where'll you go?" asked Allen.

and turned to walk out of the life of

"EvermOre. Amenw faltered Dick
bidding last mute farewell to Allen.
The old ranchman watched him
quietly as he mounted his horse and
rode down the trail.
His reverie was interrupted by the

guests and the cries of Fresno: kiss
the bride. Slim! Kiss the bride!'

CHAPTER x

I'VE weeks had passed since the
Il marriage of Echo and Jack. On
her return from the honeymoon
a in the little hunting cabin in
the Tortilla range the young wife set
to work, and already great changes
had been made in the ranch house on
the Sweetwater. Rooms were repa-
pered and painted. The big center
room was altered into a cozy living
room. On the long, low window, Civ
Ing an outlook on fields of alfalfa, corn
and the silver ribbons of the irrigation
bitches, dainty muslin curtains now
hung. Potted geraniums filled the sill.
and in the unused fireplace Echo had
placed jar of ferns. A clock ticking
on the mantelpiece added to the cheer
fulness and nominees of the house. On
the walls horns Of mountain sheep and
antlers Of antelope and deer alternated
with the mounted heads of puma and
buffalo. Through the open window
one caught glimpse Of the arms of
windmill and the outbuildings Of the
home ranch. Navajo blankets were
scattered over the floors and seats.
Echo had taken the souvenirs of the
hunt and trail which Jack had collect
ed and, with a woman's touch of re-
fnement, had used them for decora.
tive effects. She had in truth made
the room her very own. The grace
and charm of her personality were
stamped upon the environment.
The men of the ranch fairly worship
ed Echo Sending to Kansas City,
they purchased a piano for her as a
birthday gift. On the morning whcn
the wagon brought it over from Flor
ence station little work was done about
the place. The instrument had been
unpacked and placed in the living room
in Echo's absence. Mrs. Allen, Polly
and Jim rode over to be present at the
presentation. The donors gathered In
