DOCTORS ADVISED OPERATION
DECIDED TO TRY GREAT:
KIDNEY REMEDY"

want to tell you in few words what
your swamp-Root did for me, believing
that my testimony may do some other suf-
fering person great deal of good.
About SIX years ago, was dangerously
Ill, consulted three doctors, all of whom
said had kidney trouble. One of the
doctors analysed my urine and reported
that I had gravel, and further said that
in order to regain my health and life, an
operation would be necessary. I did not
want to be operated on as I was afraid
that would not recover Someone told
me of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root and said
it was . reliable medicine for kidney
trouble, 20 decided to try it and went
to Mr.. Rose, the druggist, at 1903 Central
Ave-, Minneapolis, and bought bottle,
took it, noticed results and continued
taking it until was entirely cured.
, Having been free from any kidney
trouble for over six years, consider that
I am absolutely cured and know that
Swamp Root has the credit.
I never fail to tell my friends about
your remedy, as I believe it is the best Of
its kind. Your U l. O Ointment is also

lecture on THE Science of Love-"
Love is divine disconten,, said

not believe in using harsh measures
unnecessarily. Quincy fairly chuckled
at this simplicity and was thrown
completely off his guard.
He assumed an air of great mystery
and spoke of the possible existence Of
counterfeit plates that might be
reached for a reward. He would not,
he declared, accept dollar for his
personal services but, because of his
great fancy for me, was ready to as
sist in every way possible. He was
permitted to barney along and play
the game to his own liking, secure in
the belief that he was completely de-
ceiving the government officials.
In the meantime the services of an
Tertiary, had been secured. Many of
his old confederates were now opera
ting with the Quincy gang and,
through him, Bill Butts, fresh-look-
ing detective from one of the western
states, was introduced to several of
the men who made their headquarters
at a saloon on the Bowery. Butts in
formed the barkeeper of the saloon
that he had just served a term for

convict about twenty of the Quincy
party.
While Butts had been busy with the
gang of showers, Bower had been de-
voting his time to Quincy and the
other leaders. On one occasion Bower
purchased $500 of counterfeit money
from Quincy, and this he handed to

cheerful and innocent as a Raphael

him, and invited him to dine.

had not seen bad dollar in six
months. At that very moment nv
hand was resting on the package of
counterfeit money that had just been
purchased from him by Bower.
A few days later Quincy told
Bower, in boasting way, of this in
teryiew and, in burst of enthusiasm
declared that everything about the
government detective headquarters
was known to him before it trans
pired. He asserted that he was one
of my assistants, and was so pulled
up over his imaginary success that he
really believed he knew what was TO-
ing on in my office.

arrest of the entire party who had

in manner and we'll equipped in every
way to impose upon the most incred-
ulOus
The officers of the secret service
all considered him a dangerous per-
son and none was anxious to encoun-
ter man of such gigantic proportions
and apparently desperate character.
My first move against Quincy was
to send Mike Bower, neWly-fedged
government detective, to form his &C.
quaintance. Bower was selected be-
cause his appearance was anything
but that of detective. Bower drifted
into Gurney's "boozing-den" on East
Blocker street where, after lettering
around drinking and smoking for a
week or two, he one day called Cur
ney aside and told him he was broke
and must have little money. He
drew from his inside pocket a gold
watch with short piece of chain
hanging from it. giving it the appear
ance of having been nipped from the
pocket Of some unfortunate citizen.
Quincy snapped at the bait at once
and intimated, with sly wink, that
the watch had been stolen. When
Bower finally admitted as much Cur
ney seemed pleased and bought the
watch at about one-third it's value,
remarking: you're all right, my
boy. When you want anything, come

After q few days Bower again ap-

diamond stud that had been slipped

appreciative eye, and finally said:
