claimed. looking at the form in the
centre OF the floor
He was certainly heavy enough
to have been a bear / replied,
clinching my teeth in pain, "and suf-
ficiently savage"
/ viewed her now for the first
time clearly. and the memory will re-
main with me till l die. How dis
tinctly that entire picture stands forth
with the mist of all these years be
tween! The low-ceiled room, devoid
of all furniture save of the rudest and
most primitive kind; the bare logs
forming the walls, unrelieved in their
rough ugliness, except as here and
there sundry unshapely garments
dangled from wooden pegs; the rough
deal table, with a few cheap dishes
piled upon one end of it; the dead
dog lying across the earthen floor;
and over all the leap of rudy flame
as the newly kindled fire gathered
way, leaving weird shadows here and
there. yet steadily forcing them back,
and flooding the whole interior with a
CHEEKY glow.
She had flung Tide the blue and
yellow cloak which, during the long
hours of cur night ride had so COM
pletely shrouded her, and stood be-
fore me dressed in some soft clinging
stuff of a delicate brown color. SO cut
and fashioned as to most become her
rounded, graceful form.

I can truthfully say that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is a very good medicine,
not alone for kidney trouble, but also
Cor weak and sore back, as well as for
rheumatism.
About year ago l became i'll and
unable to work, my trouble being a
lame back. l read of your Swamp
Root in the newspaper and in an Al
manac. Believing it would do me
good, went to my druggist, Mr. Skin

relief in one fifty-cent bottle, l pur-
chased several more and in a short

fastened to relieve her embarrass-

Rather such a request should come
from me. | only trust, Miss Brennan,
that you will excuse my part in this

She sat looking down upon ner

a bit of corn bread.
"You do not even known who l am, !"
