OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DR.. Kill
mer's Swamp Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself. Like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited to those
who are in need of it.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root
is due to the fact that it fufills almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
Do not suffer. Get bottle of Swamp
Root from any druggist now. Start treat
ment today.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

The Maxine of the Pun.

Ted and James M, who live
some distance from the city, have
young bull dog, which they insist
needs training. The dog is by nature
ferocious, so the training is not diff
cult.
A short time ago a tramp was about
to enter their front gate, when he
spied the dog and changed his mind,
not soon enough, however, to avert
disaster.
sic 'em, Kid, sic 'em!" cried the
boys in delight.
Kid Immediately began to play with
the tramp's ankles in way which
gave cause for alarm.
''Take your dog off, or I'll kill him"
yelled the victim, trying to carry out
his threat.
The boy grinned. Stand it if you
can, mister. It's hard on you, but it'll
be the making of the pup!" called

was only few minutes before Lieu
tenant Woodward himself appeared.
What is the trouble, Miss Dodge?''
he asked solicitously, noting the look
on her face.

piled obviously. I've found some
thing among the rocks. Perhaps 1t
is a bomb"
Woodward looked at the package,
studying it. Professor Arnold is in
vestigating this affair for u.s. he re.
marked. Perhaps you'd better take
the package to him on his yacht. I'm
sorry can't go with you, but just now
I'm on duty"
That's a good idea," she agreed
only I'm sorry you can't go along
with me-"
She started up the car and drove of
as Woodward turned back to the fort
with a lingering look.
Del Mar was hard at work in the
library when, suddenly, he heard a
sound at the panel He reached over
and pressed button on his desk, and
the panel opened. Through 1t came
the diver still wearing his dripping
suit and carrying the weird helmet un-
der his arm.
THAT Dodge girl has crossed us
again!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"How?" demanded Del Mar, with an
oath.
81 saw her on the rocks Just now.
She happened to stumble on the
bomb which you left there to be
placed

"She took it with her in her car"
"The deuce!" calculated the for.
eign agent furiously. "You must get
the men out and hunt the country
thoroughly. She must not escape at
any cost"
The diving man dove back into the
panel to escape Del Mars wrath,
while Del Mar hurried out, leaving his
valet in the library.
Quickly Del Mar made his way to q
secret hiding place in the hills back
of the bay. There he found his
picked band of men armed with rifles
AS briefly as he could he told them
Of what had happened. "We must get
her this time-dead or alive" he or
dered. "Now scatter about the coun
try. Keep in touch with each other
and when you find her, close in on hel
at any cost"
The men saluted and left in vari

carrying the rifle, he climbed in and
the man shot the car along down the
road.
On the top of hill one of the men
was posted as a sort Of lookout Gaz-
ing over the country carefully, his
eye was finally arrested by something
at which he stared eagerly. Far away
on the road he could see a car in
which was q girl alone. Waving in
the breeze was q red feather in her
hat. He looked more sharply, 1t was
Elaine Dodge.
The man turned and waved signal
with q handkerchief to another man
far of. Down the valley another Of
Del Mars men was waiting and watch
ing. AS soon as he saw the signal,
he waved back and ran along the
road.
AS Del Mar whizzed along he could
see one of his men approaching over
the road, waving to him. "Stop!" he
ordered his driver.
The man hurried forward. i've got

Good" exclaimed Del Mar, pull
ing a black silk mask over his eyes.
Now get of quickly. We've got to
catch her."
They sped away again in a cloud of
dust.
But even while Del Mar was speed
ing toward her, another of his men
had discovered her presence, SO vigi-
liant were they.
He had been keeping a sharp
watch on the road, when he was
suddenly all attention. He saw a
car, through the foliage. Quickly
his rifle went to his shoulder. Through
the sight he could just cover Elaine's
head, for her hat, with a bright red
feather in it, showed plainly just over
the bushes.

the car. 81 took it to Lieutenant

Before could answer, up the hill a
| rifle shot cracked. There was a
whirr in the air and bullet sang past
us, cutting the red feather Off Elaine's
hat.
"Duck!" I cried, jumping into the
car. "And drive like the dickens!"
She turned and we fairly ricocheted
down that road back again.
Behind us a man, stranger whom
we did not pause to observe, rushed
from the bushes and fired after us
again.
Suddenly another rifle shot cracked.
It was from another car that had
stealthily sneaked up on us-coming
fast, recklessly.
There's her car" pointed one of the
occupants to a man who was masked
in black. EYES," he nodded. "Give her
little more gas!"
Crouch down." muttered, "as low
as you can"
We did so, racing for life, the more
powerful motor behind us overhauling
us every instant.
We were coming to very narrow
part of the road where it turned, on
one side a sheer hill, on the other a
stream several feet down.
If we had an accident thought, it
might be ticklish for US, supposing the
square package really to be bomb.
What If it should go off? The idea
suggested another, instantly. The car
behind was only few feet of.
AS we reached the narrow road by
the stream, rose up. AS far as could
back of me, I hurled the Internal ma
chine. 1t fell. We received a shower
of dirt and small stones, but the cover
of the car protected us. Where the
bomb landed, however, it cut deep
hole In the roadway.
On came Del Mars car, the driver
frantically tugging at the emergency
brake. But it was of no use. There
was not room to turn aside. The car
The Ely miner., 1915-11-19

crashed into the hole, like a gigantic
plow.
It took a header over the side of
the road and down several feet into
the stream, just as the masked man
and the driver jumped far ahead into
the water.
Safe now In our car which was
slackening its terrific speed, l looked
back. They've been thrown!" cried.
Were all right"
On the edge of the water, just COW
cred by some wreckage, the chauffeur
lay motionless. The masked man
crawled from under the wreckage and
looked at him moment.
Dead" he exclaimed, still me-
chanically gripping a rife in his hand.
Angrily he raised 1t at us and fired.
A moment later, some other men
gathered from all directions about
him, each armed.
Don't mind the wreck" he cried,
exasperated. "Fire!"
A volley was delivered at us. But
the distance was now apparently too
| great.
We were just congratulating our.
selves on our escape, when stray
shot whizzed past, striking piece di,
| rectly out of the head of the steering
post, almost under Elaine's hand.
Naturally she lost control, though
fortunately we were not going so fast
now. Crazily, our car swerved from
| side to side of the road, as she vainly
tried to control both its speed and di-
rection. On the very edge Of the ditch,
however, 1t stopped.
We looked back. There we could
see a group of men who seemed
to spring out Of the woods
as If from nowhere, at the sound of
the shots. A shout went up at the
sight of the bullet taking effect, and
they ran forward at US.
One of their number, I could see,
masked, who had been in the wrecked
car, stumbled forward weakly, until
he sank down.
