then the acrid reek of smokeless
drifting into Amber's face, while from
the sky, where the V-shaped flock had
been, two stricken bundles of blood
stained feathers fell slowly, futtering.
Shotgun poised abreast, his keen
eyes marking down the fall of his
prey, Amber stood without moving,
exultation battling with a vague re-
morse in his bosom-as always when
he killed. Quain, who had dropped
back a pace after firing but one shot
and scoring an unqualified miss at
close range, now stood plucking clum-
silly, with half frozen fingers, at an
obstinate breechlock.

least, indefinite blur that stood for the
boat in the darkness, vanished in a
swirl Of snow; and he was alone with
the storm and his misgivings.
Twenty minutes wore YEARLY away.
Falling ever more densely, the snow
drew an impenetrable wan curtain be-
tween Amber and the world Of life
and light and warmth; while with
each disconrdant blast the strength
of the gale seemed to wax, its high
hysteric clamor at times drowning
even the incessant deep below of the

EXAMINING

day indicates that many Of the names
wVre forgeries. TIL tettimony of
Miss Nellie S. Starr and Miss Minnie
Burke, who checked over the petit
tions, was that they had examined
6753 names on the Parkinson peti-
tions. OF these 323S names they
found on the registers, and 2902
they pronounced genuine on the Pc
petitions, judged by the signatures
131 were classified as suspected
and 131 as bad or forgeries.
On cross-examination the women
said that they had eliminated whole
petitions being circulated by Joseph
Gorham, Harry Goldman, Robert
Goldman, Charles Falk, Fred Koch,
Harry Coler and w. Fl. Reynolds.
The reason for this action, they tes-
titled, was that they became satisfied
that all or nearly all of the names
were fraudulent, the steady stream of
the handwriting of only four or five
persons making them feel that prob
ably whole petitions were forged.
These were not taken into consider
alton in any way in the report.

when the farm residence, near Eu-

was working in the kitchen and the
babies were in a room at the oppo-

timatiOn of fire she had was when
she smelled smoke, and when she
rushed into the room where the chill
dren were, she found it already full
of smoke and flame. She was almost
asphyXiated in carrying the children
out.

We are so positive that we can re-
lieve constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer to
furnish the medicine free of all cost
if we fail.
We think that it is worse than use
less to attempt to cure constipation
with cathartic drugs Catharucs
may do much harm. They may
weaken the bowels, and make con-
stipation more chronic.
Constipation is often accompanied
and may be caused by weakness OF
the nerves and muscles of the large
intestine or colon. To expect cure
you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those parts and restore
them to healthier activity.
The discovery Of the active princi-
pie of our remedy involved the labor
of skilful research chemists. This
remedy produces results such as are
