with his back toward the taxicab

the driver to catch the answering sign.

two roads.
At last Craig gave him up as hope
less. "Well-go ahead--that way" he
indicated, picking the most likely road.
AS the chauffeur was about to start
he stalled his engine.

at the delays.
The driver got out and tried to crank
the engine. Again and again he turned
1t over, but somehow 1t refused to
start Then he lifted the hood and be-

The driver shrugged his shoulders.

We piled back into the car and pro-

4 New Back for m Old One. How
 1t Can be Done in Alaska

The back aches at times with a dull, indescribahle feeling, mak- ing you weary and restless; pierc- ing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. You cannot reach the cause. AL askan resiednts would do well to profit by the following example:
 John I. Conaer, prop. printing shop, S45 x. Seventeenth St, Sa- lem, Oregon, says: My back got wsak and sore and my kidneys did not act as they should. At times I could hardly straighten. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief and it .cok them only a short time to rid me of kidney trouble. I publicly endorsed them several years ago and am glad to do so again."
