PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEAL THY PEOPLE

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and Eff
fectively removes scrofula, boils and
other blood diseases because it drives
out Of the blood all the humors that
cause these diseases. They cannot be
successfully treated in any other way.
External applications for their re-
moyal have proven almost useless,
because they cannot drive out the
impurities that are in the blood.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
rich blood, perfects the digestion, and
builds up the whole system. The skin
becomes smooth, clean and healthy.
This great blood remed has stood the
test Of forty years. Insist on having

But now that the race has entered
upon the third ana last period there
is no time left for delay -there is no
period left after the present one in
which to overcome an advantage a
competitor has permitted an opponent
to secure.
Success at the end now means work
persistent, day after day--work
right through until the final gong is
sounded.
Confidence and an effective deter

The natural preference for the Daily

build up confidence and strength.

Where there is a will there is a

The competitor who has hesitated so

He should make q try at the work

votes.
Once the try is made and really not

It was an order by no means easy to fll: Barcus
had only his cupped hands for vessel, and little
water remained in them by the time he had dashed
from the shadows back to the spot where Rose lay
unconscious, while the few drops he did manage
to sprinkle into her face availed nothing toward
rousing her from the trance-like slumbers Of ex-

fit.

the end Of the wharf.

had no time to wonder whether the man had

a second hurtling keg, or had turned coward and
fed. 1t was enough that he had returned, pre-

him even to the deck, where the force Of its i'm

OF the lightkeeper when he paused, struck by sight
of what till then had been hidden from him.
The promontory, he found formed the eastern
extremity of a widearmed if shallow harbor where
rode at moorings a considerable number of small
craft-pleasure vessels assorted about equally with
fishing boats. And barely eighth of mile on
long-legged wharfs stood knee-deep in the water,
like tentacles flung out from the sleepy little fish
ing village that dotted the rising ground-a COM
munity of peIhaps two hundred dwellings.
Nor this ALL even Alan hove in view Of
the village. he heard series of staccato snorts
the harsh toLng of brazen bell, the rumble Of
a train pulling out from a station. And then he
saw its jewel-string of lights flash athwart the
landscape and vanish as its noise died away

northwards, up the cape, toward Boston and the

He greeted Alan's breathless query with grunt
of ingrained churlishness.
"Nah," he averred, they amt no more trains

uI-HELLrFIRE.

= But by this stage in his history, Mr.. Law had
arrived at a state of mind immune to surprise at
the discovery that he had once more failed to
elude the vigilance and pertinacity Of the woman
who sought his life.
He viewed the schooner with no more display of
emotion that resided in narrowing eyelids and
tightening of the muscles about his mouth.
Much farther to go?" he inquired presently in
a colorless voice.
AT our present pace-say. two hours"
And will that enable US to hold our own"
Just about" Barcus allowed squirting critically
at the chase; shes some footer, that schooner;
and this is just the wind she likes best"
How much lead have got?"
"a mile or so-none too much"
Anything to be done to mend matters?"
"Nothing-but pray, If you remember how"
In the end, they made it by a narrow margin.
The face of Judith Trine distinctly revealed
by the chill gray light Of early dawn to those
aboard the power cruiser as she swept up through
the reaches Of New Bedford harbor and aimed for
the first wharf that promised a fair landing on
the main waterfront of the city.
There neither a policeman nor a watchman
of any sort in sight.

He was placated quickly enough, however. by
Alan's news
But when it was the turn Of Rose-they faltered.
None the less, it had to be done. Alan hardened
his heart with the reminder OF their urgent ne
cessity, and eventually brought her to with the
aid of a few drops OF brandy.
Between them, they helped her up the beach,
past the point, and at length to the door of the
hotel where-reanmated by the mere promise of
food-Rose disengaged their arms and entered

Barcus followed the direction of his gesture

The two consulted one another with startled and
fearful eyes.
AS with one voice they murmured one word:

spy Of hers"
Then rousing, Alan released his friend, with
smart shove urging him across the threshold Of
the hotel.

He turned to find his landlord approaching from
the direction Of the hotel barroom. And for the
time it seemed that the wind of their luck must
have veered to favoring quarter for the question
barely uttered before the landlord lifted
willing voice and hailed fellow townsman idling
nearby.
Hey, Jake-come here!"
Introduced as Mr.. Breed, Jake pleaded guilty to
ownership Of the fastest and stanchest power
cruiser in the adjacent waters, which he was
aVariciousy keen to charter.
They observed 1t relgiously: within ten minutes
they stood upon float at the foot of a flight Of
wooden steps down the side of the town wharf,
while the promised rowboat of Mr.. Breed drew in,
at most leisurey pace to meet them.
II the boatowners indifference to Alan's clearly
expressed wishes in this respect exasperated, it
