ACUTE AND CHRONIC
RHEUMATISM

The exact cause of rheumatism IL I'M
known, though it is generally believed to
be due to an excess of uric acid In the blood.
1t may be also said with equal truth that no
remedy has been found which is a specinc
IN all cases. In fact the literature OF rheu-
matism shows that there are but few drugs
which have not been given trial. In the
hands OF one observer we find that a certain
drug has been used with the utmost salts
faction; others have found the same remedy
to be n great disappointment. All physi-
clans however agree that every method of
treatment is aided by the administration OF
some remedy to relieve the pain and quiet
the nervous system and DIR. w. &. Schultze
expresses the opinion of thousands of prac-
titioners when he says that anti-kamnia
tablets should be given preference over all
other remedies for the relief OF the pain In
all forms of rheumatism. These tablets can
be purchased IN any quantity. They are
also unsurpassed In headaches, neuralgias
and all pain. Ask for AK Tablets.

given this sentiment will preserve il as

suffering. He cannot when he comes back

When the warriors came back the

In three days Duane was able with
great difficulty to mount his horse.
During daylight, by short relays, he
and Jennie rode back to the main
trail, where they hid again till he had
rested. Then in the dark they rode
out of the canyons and gullies of the
Rim Rock, and early in the morning
halted at the first water to camp.
From that point they Travelled after
nightfall and went into hiding during
the day. Once across the Nueces
River, Duane was assured of safety
for her and great danger for himself.
At last, far ahead over a barren mes
Quite-doteed stretch of dusty ground,
he espIed patch of green and a little

to make cheerful for Jennies sake.
She seemed both happy and sorry.
When near at hand he saw that the
rancher was thrifty farmer. And
thrift spoke for honesty. There were

Duane merely nodded, and then, say
ing that the horses were ready, he
strobe away through the grove.
No outlaws were in sight. He saw
several Mexican herders with cattle.
Blue columns of smoke curled up over
some OF the cabins. The fragrant smell
of 1t reminded Duane of his home
and cutting wood for the stove. He
noted cloud of creamy mist rising
above the river, dissolving in the sum
light.
Then he entered Bland's lane.
While yet some distance from the
cabin he heard loud, angry voices of
man and woman. Bland and Kate

He caught his bride out of Euchre's

frightened horses jumped into a run
and thundered down the lane into the
road. Duane saw men running from
cabins. He heard shouts. But there
were no shots fired. Jennie seemed

stirrups she was thrown about so much
out to grasp her arm.
Thus they rode through the valley
to the trail that led up over the steep
and broken Rim Rock. As they be-
gan to climb Duane looked back. No
pursuers were in sight.
"Jennie, we're going to get away |"
he cried, exultation for her In his
voice.
She was gazing horror-stricken at
his breast, as in turning to look back
he faced her.
"Oh, Duane, your shirts all bloody |"
she faltered, pointing with trembling
fingers.
With her words Duane became
aware of two things-the hand he in
stinctively placed to his breast still
held his gun, and he had been shot
through the breast far enough down
| to give him grave apprehension of his
life.
They did not stop climbing while
Duane tore scarf and made COM
presses, which he bound tightly over
his wounds. The fresh horses made
fast time up the rough trail. From
| open places Duane looked down. When
they surmounted the steep ascent and
stood on top of the Rim Rock, with
no signs of pursuit down In the valley,
and with the wild broken fastness
| before them, Duane turned to the girl
and assured her that they now had
every chance to escape.
"But-your-wound !" she faltered,
with dark, troubled eyes. 81 see-the
blood-dripping from your backi"
"Jennie, I'll take lot of killing"
he said.
Then he became silent and attended
to the uneven trail. He was aware
presently that he had not come into
BANDS camp by this route. But that
did not matter; any trail leading out
beyond the Rim Rock was safe enough.
What he wanted was to get far away
into some wild retreat where he could
hide till he recovered from his wound
So he turned off on a trail that ap-
peared seldom travelled.

saddle for a while longer, but he was
failing. Then he thought he ought to
advise Jennie. so in case she was left
alone she would have some idea OF
what to do.

Duane could not get the meaning Of
her incoherent reply. He rode on, ant
soon he could not see the trail or heal
his horse. He did not know whether
they travelled a mile or many time,
that far. But he was conscious wher
the horse stopped, and had a vague
sense of falling and feeling Jennie'l
arms before all became dark to him
