Indications of Kidney Trouble

Swollen ankles and feet are forms OF

kidneys are deranged the blood is

"Don't force me to shoot!"
The sullen rage was rising; he strove
to crush it back, to think of the little
path-master.
"For Gods sake, go backl" he plead
ed, hoarsely.
Suddenly Byram started running
towards the house, and McCloud
clapped his rifle to his check and
fired. Four flashes from the road
answered his shot, but Byram was
down in the grass screaming, and
McCloud had vanished into his house.
Charge after charge of buckshot
tore through the fimsy clapboards;
the moonlight was frightened by pale
flashes, and the timbered hills echoed
the cracking shots. After a while
no more shots were fired, and presently
a voice broke out in the stiffness:
"Be yew layin' low, or be yew
dead, Dan McCloud?"
There was no answer.

Byram began to groan and crawl

door quivered; the last echoes of the
shot died out; silence followed.
Then the shattered door swung open
slowly, and McCloud reeled out, still
clutching his rifle. He tried to raise
it; he could not, and it fell gathering.
Tansey covered him with mis- shot
gun, cursing him fiercely. Cup with
them hands O. yournl" he snarled;
but McCloud only muttered and began
to rock and sway in the doorway.
Tansey came up to him, shotgun
in hand. "Yew hev done fur Byram,"
he said; "yew air bound to set in
the chair for this"
McCloud, leaning against the sill,
looked at him with heavy eyes.
"It's we'll enough for you," he
muttered; "you are only savage;
but Byram went to college-and so
did land we are nothing but savages
like you, after all-nothing but saw

He collapsed and slid to the ground,
lying hunched up across the threshold.
~ want to see the path-master!
he cried, sharply.
A shadow fell across the shot-riddled
door snow-white in the moonshine.
"Shes here" said the game-warden,
soberly.
But McCloud had started talking
and muttering to himself.
Towards midnight the whippoorwill
began a breathless calling from the
garden.
McCloud opened his eyes.
"Who is that?" he asked irritably.
"He's looney," whispered Tansey;
che gables to hisself."
The little path-master knelt beside
him. He stared at her stonily.

"Is it you, little path-master?" he
said, in an altered voice. Then some
thing came into his filmy eyes which
she knew was a smile.

where-for you"
The path-master hid her white face
in her hands. Presently the collie dog
came and laid his head on her shoulder.

We walked in the glare of light down
the graveled driveway, leaving the
sienced motor behind, securely con-
cealed by the shadow of the high wall;
Late as the hour was, in the still
night, we advanced without thought
of any immediate danger. Indeed
the occurrence of the past few hours
was more like dream than a reality to
our minds. The very swiftness OF
events had left us dazed; my own
thoughts were more concerned with
