 Swamp Root is scientifically compounded from vegetable herbs. It is not stimu- lant and is taken in teaspoonful doses. It is not recommended for everything. Ac- cording to verified testimony 1t is natures great helper in relieving and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder troubles.

LIVING ON NEGLECTED ROAD
No Man Can Be Cheerful and Neigh boriy, Nor Can He Be Really
 Good Citizen.

The man who wrote the famous line ''Let me live in house by the side of the road" had in mind, of course, good road. No man can be cheer full and neighborly, no man can be a really good citizen, if he lives in house by the side of a neglected road. Then men who pass his place can't be cheerful.

It borrows money to buy a liability creates a debt to buy something that will be continual expense until 1t finally becomes a total loss through being worn out. And borrowing money to build a road that will not last under modern traffic conditions is unsound finance.

CHAPTER x.

During the remainder of that after
noon and evening John was oppressed
by vague sense Of the splendor Of
his surroundings and his companions
mysterious capacity for achieving i'm.
possibilities. Their visits to the tai.
Tors, the shirtmakers, the hosiers and
the bootmakers almost resembled
royal progress. All difficulties were
waved aside. That night he dined,
clothed like other men from head to
foot, In the lofty dining room Of one
Of the most exclusive clubs In London.
The prince proved an agreeable II
somewhat reticent companion. He In.
troduced John to many well-known
people, always with that little note Of
personal interest In his few words Of
presentation which gave a certain Sig.
nificance to the ceremony.
From the club, where the question Of
Johns proposed membership, the
prince acting as his sponsor, was ia.
vorably discussed with several mem.
bers Of the committee, they drove to
Covent Garden, and for the first time
In his life John entered the famous
opera house. The prince. preceded by
an attendant, led the way to boz
upon the second tier. A woman turned
her head as they entered and stretched
out her hand, which the prince raised
to his lips.
"You see. have taken you at your
word, Eugene" she remarked.
"You give me double pleasure, dear
lady" the prince declared. "Not only
is It Joy to be your host, but you give
me also the opportunity Of presenting
to you my friend, John Strangewey.
Strangewey. this is my very distant
relative and very dear friend, Lady
Hilda Mulloch."
Lady Hilda smiled graciously al
John. She was apparently Of little
less than middle age, with dark bands
Of chestnut hair surmounted by tiara.
Her face was the face of clever and
still beautiful woman; her figure slen.
der and digniHed; her voice low and
delightful.
"Are you paying your nightly HON.
age to Calavera, Mr.. Strangewey, OF
are you only an occasional yisltorr
she asked.
This is my first visit Of any sort
to Covent Garden" John told her.
She looked at him with as much sur
prise as good breeding permitted. John,
who had not as yet sat down, seemed
almost preternaturally tall In that
small box, with Its low ceiling. He
was looking around the house with the
enthusiasm of a boy. Lady Hilda
glanced away from him toward the
prince, and smiled; then she looked
back at John. There was something
like admiration in her face.
do you live abroadf" she asked.
John shook his head.
II live In Cumberland" he said.
