If oth- CTS can be cured permanently, and thousands have been, why not you? John R. Barker, of Battle Creek, Mich, is one of them. He says: q was troubled with heartburn, indi- gestion and liver complaint until used Chamberlain's Tablets: then my trouble was over." Sold by all dealers.

 Its good enough to think about, Price," admitted Mahaffy grudgingIy.
 Its better to do; and if anything happens to me the papers I am going to leave will tell you how it's to be done. Man, there's a million of money in sight, and we've got to get it and spend it and enjoy it! None of your swinish thrift for me, but life on big scale-company, and feasting, and refined surroundings"
 And you are going to meet Fen tress in the morning?" asked Mahaffy. T suppose there's no way of avoiding that?"
 Avoiding it?' almost shouted the judge. For what have | been living? l shall meet him, let the consequences be what they may. Tonight when |
  have reduced certain facts to writing shall join you at Belle Plain. The strange and melancholy history of my life 1 shall place in your hands for safe keeping. In the morning I can be driven back to Boggs'."
 And you will go there without a second?"
 If necessary; yes"
 T declare, Price, you are hardly fitted to be at large! Why, you act as if you were tired of life! There's Yancy-there's Cavendishl"
 The judge gave him an indulgent but superior smile.
 Two very worthy men, but I go to Boggs' attended by gentleman or 1 go there alone. 1 am aware of your prejudices, Solomon; otherwise might ask this favor of you"
 Mr. Mahaffy snorted loudly and turned to the door, for Yancy and Cavendish were now approaching the house, the latter with meal sack slung over his shoulder.
 Here, Solomon, take one of my pistols urged the judge hastily You may need it at Belle Plain. Good by, and God bless you!"

 "Lawd-what's that7"
 Darlington, knife in hand, swung about or his heel. A lanterns light flashed suddenly in his face and Bess Hicks, with low startled cry break ing from her lips. paused in the door way. Springing forward, Darlington seized her by the wrist.
 "Hush!" he grimly warned.
 What are you doin' here?" demand ed the girl, as she endeavored to shake of his hand, but Darlington drew her into the shed. and closing the door, set his back against it. There was a brief silence during which Bess re- garded the Kentuckian with kind of stolid fearlessness. She was the first to speak. 'I reckon you-all have come after Miss Malroy," she observed quietly.
 "Then you reckon right" answered Darlington. The girl studied him from her level brows.
 And you-all think you can take her away from here." she specuiated. T ain't afraid of yo' knife-you-ail might use it fast enough on a man. but not on me. I'll help you,' she added. Darlington gave her an in credulous glance. You don't believe me? That would fetch our men up

Mena Citizens Cannot Doubt It..
Doan's Kidney Pills were used

Doan's Kidney Pills were used
 They brought benefit.
 The story was told to a Mena resident.
 Time has strengthened the evil dence.
 Has proven the result lasting.
 The testimony is from this To- cality.
 The proof convincing.
 J. NJ. Bates, Rose Hill. DeQueen, Ark, says: "Doan's Kidney Pills cured me of kidney trouble in 1908, and I have not been bothered since. I occasionally use a box of this remedy and in that way keep my kidneys in a normal condition. In 1908 I publicly told of my experi- ence, and at this time I am glad to confirm that testimonial. For weeks at a time I suffered terribly from sharp pains through my Joins and a dull, heavy ache across the small of my back and in my limbs Dizzy spells often seized me. and it seemed as though fire were fash ing before my eyes. I doctored a great deal but was not able to get much relief until I took Doan's Kidney Pills. In two weeks after I began their use I was rid of every symptom of kidney complaint"

 Here he paused and took stock cf ais surroundings. The two or three buildings MT. Hicks had erected stood midway of the clearing and were very modest improvements adapted to their owners somewhat flippant pursuit of agriculture. While Darlington was still staring about him, the cabin door swung open and a woman stepped forth. It was the girl Bess. She went to a corner of the building and called loudly:
 Joe! Oh, Joel"
 Darlington glanced in the direction of the keel boat and an instant later saw Siosson chamber over it's. side. The tayern-keeper crossed to the cab. iu, where he was met by Bess, who placed in his hands what seemed to be wooden bowl. With this he slouched of to one of the outbuild- ings, which he entered. Ten or iii teen minutes slipped by, then he came from the shed and after securing the door, returned to the cabin. lie was again met by Bess, who relieved hin of the bowl; they exchanged a few words and Slosson walked away aue afterward disappeared over the side of the keel boat.
 This much was clear to the Ken tuckian: food had been taken to some one in the shed-to Betty and the boy!-more likely to George

Mahaffy harshly. The judge shrugged his shoulders.
 That is as it may be-" Have you forgotten your grand son?" Mahaffy's voice was still harsh and rasping.
 T regard my meeting with Fentress as nothing less than sacred duty to him."
 We know no more than we did this morning." said Mahaffy. You are mixing up all sorts of side issues with what should be your real pur- pose"
 Not at all, Solomon-not at all! look upon my grandson's speedy re- covery as an assured fact. Fentress dare not hold him. He knows he is run to earth at last"
 Price"
 No, Solomon-no, my friend, we will not speak of it again. You will go back to Belle Plain with Yancy and Cavendish; you must represent me there. We have as good as found Hannibal, but we must be active in Miss Malroy's behalf. For us that has an important bearing on the future. and since l cannot, you must be at Belle Plain when Darlington arrives with his pack of dogs. Give him the advantage of your sound and mature judgment, Solomon; don't let any false modesty keep you in the back ground.
 Who's going to second you?" snapped Mahaffy.
