The uric acid poison that too often
fermeates the human system and re-
quits fatally to so many should be
regularly passed of daily by the kid
neys-if they are we'll
But if the kidneys are not well, of
course, they cannot perform perfect
ly the work assigned to them by ma
ture and the result is very quickly
shown in weak back, pains in the
back, swelling of the ankles and feet,
pufiness under the eyes, etc. These
are the simple symptoms of kidney
trouble, but they are the forewarn-
ings of diseased kidneys, and you
know kidney disease is an awful thing.
Don't allow the kidneys to get out
Of order. You wouldn't care to take
any chance with having Bright's Dis
ease, Diabetes, Gall-stones, and the
like, yet that is what you may have
and likely will have by neglecting to
help the kidneys when the kidneys
are weak. The best way we know Of
to assist nature in restoring the kid
neys to normal condition is by the
use of DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills. These wonderful pills are now
almost universally used in this coun-
try and the results obtained by thou
sands of people are most gratifying.

 CHAPTER XIV.
The Sunday Murder.

Banks posse, leaving Medicine Bend before daybreak, headed northwest. Their instructions were explicit: To scatter after crossing the F'renchman, watch the traiis from the Goose river country and through the Mission mountains, and intercept everybody riding north until the posse from Sleepy Cat or Whispering Smith should communicate with them from the southwest. Nine men rode in the party that crossed the Crawling Stone Sunday morning at sunrise with Ed Banks.
 After leaving the river the three white-carped Saddles of the Mission range afforded a landmark for more
 nan 100 miles, and toward these the party pressed steadily all day. The
 outhern pass of the Missions opens 5n the north slope of the range into a pretty valley known as Mission Springs valley, and the springs are the head-waters of Deep creek The posse did not quite obey the instruc- lions, and following a natural instinct of safety five of them, after Banks and his three deputies had scattered, punched again, and at dark crossed Deep creek at some distance below the springs. It was afterward known that these five men had been seen entering the valley from the east at sundown just as four of the men they wanted rode down South Mission pass toward the springs That they knew they would soon be cut off, or must cut their way through the line which Ed Banks, ahead of them, was posting at every gateway to Williams Cache, was probably clear to them. Four men rode that evening from Tower w through the south pass; the fifth man had already left the party The four men were headed for Williams Cache and had reason to believe, until they sighted Banks men, that their path was open.
 They halted to take counsel on the uspicious-lool1ing posse far below them, and while their cruelty ex- hausted horses rested. Du Sang, al ways in Sinclair's absence the brains of the gang, planned the escape over Deep creek at Baggs' crossing. At

 The little boy was lying on his face. with his arm around his fathers neck, taking to him. Whispering Smith bent moment over the bed. and, setting the candle on the table, put his hand on the boys shoulder. He disengaged the hand from the cold neck, and sit ting down took it in his own Talking low to the little fellow, he got his attention after much patient effort and got him to speak He made him, though struggling with terror to un- derstand that he had come to be his friend, and after the child had sobbed his grief into strange heart he ceased to tremble, and told his name and his story, and described the two horse men and t.e horses they had left. Smith listened quietly Have you had any supper, Daanie? No? You must anything? But there is nice pan of fresh milk in the kitchen.
 A burst of tears interrupted him. ''Daddie just brought i'll the milk, and was frying the ham, and I heard them shooting.
 See how he took care of you till lhe last minute, and left something for you after he was gone. Suppose te could speak now, don't you think he would want you to do as I say? m your next friend now, for you are going to be railroad man and have a pig engine

But if you and I keep real quiet we can do something for him while the men are asleep; they have to ride all day tomorrow. We must wash his face and hands, don't you think so? And brush his hair and his beard. If you could just find the basin and some water and towel-you couldn't find brush, could you? Could you honestly?
