YOUR DRUGGIST HAS A REMEDY
That He Guarantees to Promptly
 Relieve All Stomach Distress.

People go on suffering from little stomach troubles for years, and imagine they have a serious disease. They oVer-eat or over-drink and force on the stomach a lot of extra work, but they never think that the stomach needs extra help to do the work.
 If these people would take Blood inc with or after meals, it would be a great big help to the stomach in it's strain of oVer-work. No mat ter what you eat or drink, Bloodine will sweeten your sour stomach and stop gas belching in five minutes. The heaviness disappears and the stomach is geratly aided in it's work of digestion.
 Bloodine not only promptly re- lieves all diseases, but if taken reg ularly will absolutely cure indiges- ton by building up the flabby, overworked walls of the stomach and make them strong enough to digest the most hearty meal.
 All druggists sell and guarantee Bloodine. The price is 30 cents a large bottle. Test sample free for ten cents to pay postage from the BIoodine Corporation, Boston, Mass.

CHAPTER xxIV.
Colonel Fentress,

Oolonel FentrcSS.
 The judge had not forgotten his ghost, the ghost he had seen in MT Saul's office that day he went to the court house on business for Charley Norton. Working or ridling-principal. ly the latter-drunk or sober-prin- cipally the former-the ghost, other. wise Colonel Fentress, had preserved a place in his thoughts, and now as he moved stolidly up the drive toward Fentress' big white house on the hill with Mahaffy, Cavendish and Yancy trailing in his wake, memories of what had once been living and vital crowd ed in upon him. Some sense of the wreck that filtered the long years, and the shame of the open shame that had swept away pride and self-respect came back to him out of the past
 He only paused when he stood on the portico before Fentress' open door, He glanced about him at the wide fields, bounded by the distant timber lands that hid gloomy bottoms at the great log barns in the hollow to his right; at the huddle of white washed cabins beyond; then with his big fist he reached in and pounded on the door. The blows echoed loudly through the silent house, and an in stant later Fentress' tall, spare figure was seen advancing from the far end of the hall.
 ''Who is it?" he asked
 Judge Price-Colonel Fentress,' said the judge.
 Judge Price," uncertainty, and still advancing.
 q had fiattered myself that you must have heard of me-" said the judge.
 q think I have," said Fentress, pausing now.
 He thinks he has" muttered the judge under his breath.
 "Wili you come in?" 1t was more a question than an invitation.
 If you are at liberty" The colonel bowed Allow me-" the judge con- tinued. Colonel Fentress-Mr. Ma haffy. Mir. Yancy and MT. Cavendish.' '' Again the colonel bowed.
 "Will you step into the hbrary?"
 "Very good" and the judge followed the colonel briskly down the ball.
 When they entered the library Fen. tress turned and took stock of his guests. Mahaffy he had seen before; Yancy and Cavendish were of course strangers to him, but their appear ance explained them; last of all his glance shifted to the judge. He had heard something of those activities by means of which Slocum Price had striven to distinguish himself. and he had a certain curiosity respecting the man. It was immediately satisfied The judge had reached a degree oi shabbiness seldom equaled, and but for his mellow, effulgent personality might we'll have passed for a common vagabond; and if his dress advertised the state of his finances, his face ex plained his habits. No misconception was possible about either.
 May I offer you a glass of liquor?' asked Fentress, breaking the silence He stepped to the walnut center-table

 "Whoop!" cried Cavendish, delight ed at this recognition of Yancy's lov, for the boy, and he gleefully smott the austere Mahaffy on the shoulder But Mahaffy was dumb in the pres ence of the decencies; he quite lacked an interpreter. The judge looked back at the house.

FATAL WRECK ONC.&O.
Freight Train PlungeS Through a Bridge Weakened by Repairs
 Four Dead.

Huntington, w. Va, Jan. 1.- Seven men were killed and the lives of several others are believed to have been lost today, when a westbound Chesapeake & Ohio rail road freight train crashed through a weakened bridge across Guyan- dotte river at Guyandotte, suburb near this city. The known dead are
 F. E. Webber, engineer, Russell, Ky; Henry White, bridge watch man, Huntingdon; Charlie Madie, bridge worker, Talcott, w. "; James c. Crawford, bridge worker, St. Albans, w. Va.; Emmett Good, bridge worker, Talcott, w. Va; Charles Coyner, bridge worker, Teays, w. Va; L. s. Wheeler, Hunt ington, w. Va.
 A crew of 30 or more iron work CTS were employed installing a dou- ble track across the bridge when the freight train approached. A few left their posts, it is said, be- lieving the bridge unsafe.
 When the train was near the cen ter of the structure the bridge crumbled. The heavy train crashed into the water and the bridge debris covered the train wreckage.
 Engine Buries Bodies.
 Members of the train crew and ron workers not caught beneath the wreckage struggled through the water to shore. The engine. one of the largest types, probably will have to be removed from the water before progress can be made in re- covering the bodies.
 The accident is believed to have been caused by water undermining the piling that had been put in at low water stage. A heavy rise in the river had caused considerable loss during the past several days, but the railroad officials felt con fldent that the bridge was safe. A passenger train had passed over the bridge a few moments before il gave way under the weight of the freight train.
