It has been q series Of blind alleys, and all
we have succeeded in doing is knocking our

are due to one mistake"
"And what the devil is that7" he asked,
hritably.
We were in too mucn Of hurry at the
beginning. Hafsreave prepared himself for
quick action on your part
And If had not acted quickly he would
have started successfully on one Of his world
tours again, and that would have been the
last of him, and We should never have
learned Of the girls existence. So there's

"Perhaps you are right But for all that
we have not played the game with any de-

MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic. Crippied-up Sufferers Find
Relief After Few Doses Of New
Remedy are Taken.

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up. and bent out of shape with its
heartwrenching pains, when you can
surely avoid il.
Rheumatism comes from weak. in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste matter
and uric acid; and il is useless to rub
on liniments or take ordinary rem.
edies to relieve the pain. This only
prolongs the misery and can't pos.
sibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
covery, Croxone, does this because IL
neutralizes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, 10
scratch and irritate and cause rheu.
matism, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up. inactive kidneys.
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive il on and out of
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
&c rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find il
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like il.
II matters not how old you are. or how
long you have suffered, it is practical
ly impossible to take il into the hu-
man system without results. You will
find relief from the first few doses.
and you will be surprised how quick
ly all your misery and suffering will
end.
An original package of Croxons
costs but a trifle at any first-class
drug store. All druggists are author
| lied TO sell it on a positive money
back guarantee. Three doses a day
for few days is often all that is ever
needed to cure the worst backache or
| overcome urinary disorders.

Paul as a short, thick set and dark
cOmpleXiOned man and pointed out
that in the presence of the princely
