Chamberlain's Tablets

Chamberlain Tablets are intended
especially for stomach troubles, bilious
ness and constipation, and have met
with much success in the treatment OF
those diseases. People who have suf-
fered for years with stomach trouble and
have been unable to obtain any perma-
nent relief, have been completely cured
by the use of these tablets. Chamber
lain's Tablets are also of great value
for biliousness. Chronic constipation
may be permanently cured by taking
Chamberlain Tablets and observing
the plain printed directions with each
bottle. adv-4S-4t

trade name OF the new fuel brick,
which Is OF the same size as an or

The Pueblo plant is the first to be
erected In the United States for tho

TRAINING OF THE Army

The beginning Of tho winter finds
the work of training going on At full
blast in . hundred camps and sta
tions. Not far from half Of the to-
tai number OF men training are en-
camped In the big National Army
cantonments. In these the United
States has now 16 new cities. each
as large as Pueblo or Colorado
Springs.
Sixteen camps. nearly as large as
the cantonments. but not built as
durably. are housing the National
Guard divisions.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
men have Joined the regulars since
the war broke out. There are sew
enteen regular army stations and
camps being used for the training
OF these recruits.
Seventeen stations are engaged In
training men for the navy. and ma
rines are now being turned out In
three more.
Not all the aviation fields have
been finished. but in dozen Of them
cool-headed young men are being
taught to fight In the air.
Nine camps have Just rounded off
the second increment OF officers for
the Reserve Corps.
Five medical camps are in opera
tion. and three camps for engineers
All Of the larger camps have been
built in the last three months. The
biggest. the National Army canton
ments. were built in three months
at total cost OF $3.50. 900. 900. Only
little over twice as much was re-
quired to build the Panama Canal.
and that took ten years.
Something between six hundred
and seven hundred millions Of feet
Of lumber went into the National
Army cantonments. The figure for
all the army camps Is about one bill
Tlion feet.
In population the camps range
from 800 to 47.0O0.
The men In q flying camp may
know one another as men know one
another in n small college. One Of
the larger cantonments, on the 9TH
or hand, contains as many men as
are In the city Of Denver between
the ages OF .2l and As.
Living conditions In the camps
may not be up the the top OF the
high American standard. But II can
safely be said that no large army
OF soldiers was ever housed so com
fortably before. There will be no
freezing this winter. Four OF the
cantonments situated farthest north
have steam heat. The rest have 10

American army spent the winter at

of the stone floor. She caught a
glance which flashed between the two
men-of appeal from the one, Of icy
resentment from the other.

The older man turned deliberately

his brothers words.

said. "He Diust be told about the serv-
ants"
Louise watched the disappearing fig
ure until it was out Of sight. Then she
looked up into the face Of the younger
man, who was standing by her side.
''I am sorry" she murmured apollo
getically. II am afraid that your
brother is not pleased at this sudden
intrusion. Really, we shall give you
very little trouble"
He answered her with a sudden
eager enthusiasm. He seemed far more
natural then than at any time since he
had ridden up from out of the shad-
ows to take his place in her life.
II won't apologize for Stephen" he
said. 'He is little crotchety. You
must please be kind and not notice.
You must let me, If 1 can, offer you
welcome enough for us BOTH"

CHAPTER II.

Louise, with heavy, silver-plated
candlestick in her hand, stood upon the
uneven floor of the bedroom to which
she had been conducted, looking up at
the oak-framed family tree which hung
above the broad chimney-piece. She
examined the coat of arms emblazoned
in the corner, and peered curiously at
the last neatly printed addition, which
indicated Stephen and John Strange
wey as the sole survivors of a dimin-
ishing line. When at last she turned
away, she found the name upon her
lips.
"Strangewey she murmured. "John
Strangewey 1t is really curious how
that name brings with it sense of
familiarity. 1t is so unusual, too. And
what an unusual-looking person! Do
you think, Aline, that you ever saw
anyone so superbly handsome?"
The maids little grimace was ex-
pressive.
"Never, madam" she replied. "And

ways, outside the world, with just a
terrible old man Gervant, the only do

day I SHALL"

| There have been some of our race who
have been tempted into the lowlands
and the cities. Not one of them
brought honor upon our name. Their
pictures are not here. They are not
worthy to be here"
Stephen set down the candlesticks
and returned to his place. Louise, with
her hands clasped behind her back.

by her side.

Louise resumed her seat in the easy
chair.
81 am so sorry" she murmured,
looking down at her slipper. 81 could
not help breaking down here, could II"
"Nor could my brother fail to offer
you the hospitality of this roof" Ste
phen admitted. 1.-THE incident was un-'
fortunate but inevitable. 1t is a mat
ter for regret that we have so little to
offer you in the way of entertainment"
He rose to his feet. The door had
opened. Jennings was standing there
with a candlestick upon massive sill
"You are doubtless fatigued by your
journey, madam" Stephen concluded.
Louise made little grimace, but she
rose at once to her feet. She under
stood quite well that she was being
sent to bed, and she shivered little
when she looked at the hour-barely
ten o'clock. Yet it was all in keeping.
From the doorway she looked back in
to the room, in which nothing seemed
to have been touched for centuries.
She stood upon the threshold to bid her
final goodnight, fully conscious of the
anachronism of her presence
there.
Her smile for Stephen was respectful
and full of dignity. AS she glanced to-
ward John, however, something
flashed in her eyes and quivered at the
corners of her lips, something which
her control, something which
made him grip for a moment the back
Of the chair against which he stood.

John Strangewey ushered his COM
panion into the square, oak-paneled
hall, hung with many trophies Of the
chase, a few oil-paintings, here and
there some sporting prints. 1t was
lighted only with a single lamp which
stood upon round, polished table in
the center Of the white-fagged floor.

apart. Even In those few seconds, her
quick sensibilities warned her of the

CHAPTER l.

Louise was leaning back among the
cushions of the motionless car. The
moon had not yet risen, but faint and
luminous glow, spreading like a halo
about the topmost peak Of the ragged
line of hills, heralded its approach
Her eyes swept the hillsides; vainly
yet without curiosity, for any sign of a
human dwelling. Her chauffeur and
her maid stood talking heatedly to-
gether near the radiator.
Louise leaned forward and called to
the chauffeur.
Charles" she asked, "what has hap
pened? Are we really stranded here?"
The mans head emerged from the
bonnet. He came round to the side of
the car.
81 am very sorry, madam" he re-
ported, "but something has gone wrong

it to pieces before I can tell exactly
what is wrong. 1t will take several
hours and it ought to be dona by day
light. Perhaps l had better go and see
whether there isn't a farm somewhere
near"
"And leave us here alone?" Aline ey-
claimed Indignantly.
Her mistress smiled at her reassur-
fngly.
what have we to fear, you foolish
girl? For myself, I would like better
than anything to remain here until the
moon comes over the top of that round
hill. But listen There is no neces-
sity for Charles to leave U.S."
They all turned their heads. From
some distance behind there came,
family at first, but more distinctly
every moment, the sound of horses
hoofs. Louder and louder came the
sound. Louise gave a little cry as a
man on horseback appeared in sight
at the crest of the hill. The narrow
strip of road seemed suddenly dwarfed,
an unreasonable portion of the horizon
blotted out. In the half light there
was something almost awesome in the
unusual size of the horse and of the
man who rode it.
SIT is a world of COLLINS, this, Aline!"
her mistress exclaimed softly. what
is it that comes?" =

the maid replied, with matter-of-fact
little sigh of content.

were beside the car.

conner asked, dismounting and raising
his whip to his cap.

"Please tell us what you would advise

Her Memory Faulty.

She was middle-aged, stylishly
gowned and apparently sane. And she
was looking at the paintings in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art through a
gold-framed lorgnette, that dangled
from a jeweled gold chain.
Another woman was standing before
a canvas, and, in a desire for informa-
ton, or, perhaps, for the sake of social
interchange, the lady of the lorgnette
inquired, affably:
SIS that picture Of the death OF
