change in the situation was scarcely a

Clearly he has done something to
bring him under the suspicion of the
law. Under these circumstances it
would be more agreeable to the man

would depart"
Duncombe did not wish to depart

toms of kidney trouble. The pains
were sometimes SO severe as to force
me to stop work and come home, and
they gradually grew worse None of
the remedies he took seemed to do
him any good and we were becoming
alarmed when he learned of Doan's
