Kidney disease is much more common
than most people imagine. Many sufferers
do not know what's ailing them-until the
trouble becomes serious. Some trifing af-
lection may run into the dread diabetes,
dropsy or Bright's disease before one realizes
there's anything wrong with his kidneys.
Usually the most noticeable symptoms
whick first appear are far from the seat of
the trouble, and the sufferer mistakes tha
nature of his ailment. Dull headaches or
nervousness, for instance, he never thinks of
as signs of diseased kidneys.
Ersn the aching back and sides, rheuma-
tisn, pains or twitching in groins or limbs,
sore, infamed muscles, he may consider in
dica9ions of some other trouble. Unnaturally
colo:ed or cloudy urine, too frequent or too
scaDty urination, burning sensation, are of
course readily recognized as symptoms of
such disorders.
Because of the deceptive and dangerous
character of these ailments, if you suspect
your kidneys are diseased, lose no time in
beginning treatment. The best possible
remedy for you is DR.. Derby's Kidney Pills.
They are quite different from anything else
in the market. They act in two ways

SYNOPSIS.


The story opens in a Confederate tent
at a critical stage of the Civil War. Gen
Lee imparts to Capt Wayne an important
message to Longstreet. Accompanied by
Sergt- Craig, an old army scout Wayne
starts on his mission. The two, after a
wild ride, get within the lines of the
enemy In the darkness. Wayne is taken
for a Federal officer who came to keep an
appointment, and a young lady on horse
back Is given in his charge. She is a
northern girl and attempts to escape but
fails. One of the horses succumbs and
craig goes through with the dispatches,
while Wayne and My Lady OF the North
are left alone. They seek shelter In q
nut and entering 1t in the dark a hugo
mastin attacks Wayne. The girl shoots

hut one Jed Bungay, and his wife appear

ahey are led by a man claiming to be
Red Lowrie. but Mrs. Bungay discovers
MN to be a disguised impostor who
proves to be Maj. Brennan, a Federal
officer, whom the Union girl recognizes
ne orders the arrest of Wayne as spy.
While prisoner Wayne sees files of Con-
iederates pass and knows that Craig has

fered you; but, as near as can learn,
the charge preferred against you is of
such private nature that it is deemed
best not to make it matter for camp
talk. Whatever it may be, Sheridan
evidently feels justified in taking the
case out from the usual channels, and
in using most drastic measures. l
am sorry to bring you such news,
especially as | believe the charges
are largely concocted in the brain of
him who makes them. and have but
the thinnest circumstantial evidence
to sustain them. Yc. Sheridan is
thoroughly convinced, and will brook
no interference. The discussion of the
case has already led to his using ex-
tremely harsh words to his chief of
staff"

Your fate is in your own hands,
