THE SECRET Of SUUGtSS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the
Peoples Confidence

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products that
are extensively advertised, all at once
drop out of sight and are soon forgot
ten? The reason is plain-the article
did not fulfil the promises of the man
ufacturer. This applies more particu-
larly to a medicine. A medicinal prep
aration that has real curative value al
most sells itself, as like an endless
chain system the remedy is recon-
mended by those who have been cured,
to those who are in need of it.
In an interview on the subject a
prominent local druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
a preparation / have sold for many
years and never hesitate to recon-
mend, for in almost every case 1t
shows immediate results, as many OF
my customers testify. No other kid
ney remedy that l know of has so
large a SALE"
The success Of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is due to the fact that 1t fulf1ls
every wish in overcoming kidney, liver
and bladder diseases, corrects urinary
troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumatism.
A free trial bottle will be sent by
mail, absolutely free. Address DR..

extremely careful now to keep WeA
away from every known route Of
travel, and our horses, although Sc
lected from among the best mounts of
the cavalry brigade, had already been
thoroughly winded by their smart trot
up the valley.
An hour of this work passed.
Whether or not we were yet within
the enemy's lines was largely conjec-
ture for no human eye could pierce
the enveloping gloom, and no sound,
either of warning or encouragement,
reached us as we strained our ears.
The sergeant rode slightly in advance

ton and distance was upon his mem

best might, and pressed close after
him, guided not SO much by sight as
by sound-the occasional rolling of a
leosened stone, the rustling of leaves
as he touched a bush in passage. the
heavy breathing of his horse-until at
last his long, slender figure rose suf-
ficiently above the dark hill surface
to be family silhouetted in deeper
shadow against the dim reflection of
the upper sky. Almost coincidently
with this my horse ranged up beside
his, where he had drawn rein.

far away they might Turk could not
even conjecture.
The soft night wind, heavy with
pine odors, began suddenly to play
amid the leaves of a low tree beside
me, and the pleasant rustling mingled
like strains Of music with the slow
breathing of the horses. | recall it
now as one of the loneliest moments
of my life, one of those almost un-
accountable conditions of mind and
body when it seemed to me that the
thin, sinewy fingers of an inexorable
fate were closing down with pres

which had run their course since l.,
a slender, white-faced lad, had stolen
forth into the moonlight from the por-

drums called me. So deeply had my

these musings that Craig, slipping 81

The sergeant, gaunt, tireless
mountaineer, slipped silently from his
bine from his back TO the hotow OF
his arm, and in another moment was
lost to sight in the darkness. A snake
could not have slipped away more
stealthily.
How utterly alone seemed; how
intensely. painfully still everything
wasi The silence felt almost like a
weight, so greatly it oppressed me.
Even the accustomed voices of nature
were hushed, as If war, with its un-

CHAPTER Ill.



This was the sort of work had
long ago learned to love; it warmed
the blood, this constant certainty of
imminent peril, this intense probable
ity that any moment might bring
flash Of fame into our very faces.
Each step we took was now stern,
grim play with Fate, where the stakes
were life and death. | felt my pulses
throb as rode steadily forward, fair
ly thrusting the darkness aside, my
teeth hard set, my left hand heavily
on a revolver butt
But bark! Surely that was no COM

jingle of accoutrements or the dull
thud of horses's hoofs. The road here

the sharp hail:
Halt! Who comes there?"

sound of my voice.

no introduction. Instantly that great
throng let free its restrained emo.
tons. For some moments Voorhees,
stood patiently and calmly receiving
these tributes. Then he raised his
hand and the storm of applause ceased
suddenly. The silence was impressive
by reason of it's contrast to the vo-
ciferous acclaim of a moment before
voorhees, had just opened his mouth
to speak when a farmer who sat in
the first or second row of improvised
benches rose, and, turning to the
great audience, shouted, in a high,
squeaky voice.

Voorhees, could not contain himself.
He burst into laughter. The great au-
dience was convulsed, and yet il
showed its approval of those plain
spoken sentiments. When quiet was
at last restored Voorhees, did give
them some speechifying that counted;
and of this demonstration Senator
Mcdonald afterward said that it was
without exception the greatest tribute
to a stump speaker he had ever seen
or heard, and that Dan Voorhees, did
justice to it in his speech.
