Why Kidneys XIII

Because they are diseased. Two sound
active kidneys are necessary for sound health.
They must act as filters, cleansing tue blood
OF the poisonous waste matters taken up in
ats course through the body.
When the kidneys are sound and active they
do their hltering work perfectly. When they
are weak and diseased they fail To do their
task, and the whole human body suffers from
this poisonous blood.
FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS are just what is;
needed to make over weak, ailing. achiLr
kidneys into strong, healthy active ones.
Start taking Foley Kidney Pills TO-DAY and
backache, lame back, stiff swollen Joints, duh
weary headaches and tired-all-Over feeling
will quickly pass away, Regular kidney and
bladder action, clean blood, good hsa ],
sound sleep, aud no more dull weary pains or
headaches, will be your sure reward.

CHAPTER xix-continued.

IL
So far the mind Of the Scotsman fol-
lowed the probabilities logically, but
az this point II made a jump. There
were at least two robbers. He was
morally sure Of that, for this was not
a one-man job. Now, II Holt had with
him a companion. who Of all those in
Kusiak was the most likely man? He
was a friendless. Grabbed old fellow.
Since coming to Kusisk old Gideon had
been seen constantly with one man.
They had been with each other at din
ner and had later left the hotel to-
gether. The name Of the man who had
been so friendly with old Holt was
Gordon Elliot-and Elliot not only was
another enemy Of Macdonald. but had
very good reasons for getting out Of
the country Just now.
The strong Jaw Of the mine-owner
stood out saliently as he gave short,
sharp orders to men In the crowd One
was to get the coroner, q second Wally
Selfridge. another the United States
district attorney. He divided the rest
Into squads to guard the roads leading
out of town and to see that nobody
passed for the present.
The coroner took charge Of the body
and Wally Of the bank. The mine
owner and the district attorney walked
up TO the hotel together. As soon as
they had explained what they wanted,
the landlord got q passkey and took
them to the room Holt had used.
Apparently the bed had been slept
in. In the wastepaper basket the dis
trict attorney found something which
he held up in a significant silence.
Macdonald stepped forward and took
from him a small cloth sack.
''One Of those we keep our gold in
At the bank" said the Scotsman after
q close examination. This definitely
ties up Holt with the robbery. Now
for Elliot"
He left the hotel with Holt about

This was the contribution Of the land.
lord.
The room Of Gordon Elliot was in
great disorder. Garments had been
tossed on the bed and on every chair
and had been left to lie wherever they
had Glanced to fall. Plainly theil
owner had been In great haste.
Macdonald looked through the closet
where clothes hung. His new fur
coat is not here-nor his trail boots
Looks to me as though Mr.. Gordon had
hit the trail with his friend Holt"
All doubt Of this was removed when
q prospector reached town with the
news that he had met Holt and Ellio,
travelling toward the divide as fast as
they could drive the dogs.
The big Scotsman ordered his team
OF Siberian woif-hounds made ready
for the trail. As he donned his heavy
furs. Colby Macdonald smiled with
deep satisfaction. He had Elliot or
the run at last.
Just as he closed the door Of his
room. Macdonald heard the telephone
bell ring. He hesitated. then shrugged
his shoulders and strode out into the
storm. II he had answered the cal

who was at the other end Of the line

forty pounds to the dog. for they want
ed to make speed. 1t was not cold for
Alaska. They packed their fur coats
on the sled and wore mittens Of
moosehide with duffel lining. on their
feet mukluks above German" socks.
Holt had been a sour-dough miner too
long to let his partner perspire from
overmuch clothing. He knew the dam
ger Of pneumonia from a sudden cool
Ing Of the heat of the body.
Old Gideon took seven Of his dogs,
driving them two abreast. Six were
huskies. rangy. muscular animals with
thick, dense coats. They were in the
best Of spirits and carried their tails
erect like their Malemute leader.
Butch, though q Malemute, had a
strong strain Of collie in him. II gave
him a sense Of responsibility. His bus
mess was to see that the team kept
strung out on the trail. and Butch was
a postmaster In the matter Of disci-
pline. His weight was SO fighting
pounds. and he could thrash In short
| order any dog in the team.
The snow was wet and soft. 1t clung
to everything 1t touched. The dogs
carried pounds Of 1t In the tufts Of
hair that rose from their backs. An
icy pyramid had to be knocked from
the sled every half-hour. The snow
shoes were heavy with white slush.
Densely laden spruce boughs brushed
the faces Of the men and showered
them with unexpected little ava
lanches.
They took turns in going ahead Of
the team and breaking tran. II was
heavy, muscle-gr!nding work. Before
noon they were both utterly fatigued.
They dragged forward through the
siush. lifting their laden feet sluggish
~. They must keep going. and they
did, but 1t seemed to them that every
step must be the last.
Shortly after noon the storm wore
itself out. The temperature had been
steadily falling and now II took rapid
drop. They were passing through tim
Der, and on . little slope they built
with q good deal Of difhculty q fire.
BY careful nursing they soon had Q
great bonfire going. in front Of which
they put their wet socks. mukluks,
scarfs and parkas to dry. The toes Of
the dogs had become packed with little
Ice balls Gordon and Holt had to 90
carefully over the feet of each animal
to dig these out.
The old-timer thawed out q slab of
dried salmon till the fat began to
frizxle and fed each husky q pound of
the flsh and lump Of taliow. He and
Gordon made pot of tea and ate some
meat sandwiches they had brought
with them, to save cooking until night.
When they took the trail again II
was In moccasins instead of mukluks.
The weather was growing steadily
colder, and with each degree a fall in
the Thermometer the trail was easler.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
TO the Editor OF The Evening Jour-

To the Editor OF The Evening Journal,
sir--Just what can we expect from
our new Congress. should It be con-
yened in March as Mr.. Macarthur would
have 1t Can we expect other than OF
u legislative nature? Or have they
up their sleeve some magic wand 10
WELD?
OF course. they could repeal some OF
the laws that have been put on our
statutes by-and under the influence of
the present Administration. Just where
would they begin? Would they, II in
their power, repeal the income tax law,
that placed so much OF the burden OF
taxation upon those best able to stand
IT. Or would they repeal the present
currency law. placed there by the DEM
ocrats with the assistance Of those Re-
publicans who had the best interest OF
. the republic at hearth Would they
pass laws doing away with the Food
Administration that saved those OF us
who were unfamiliar with the world
food supply, from over extravaganza.
and the world including ourselves from
serious want? Would they decree that
DR.. Garfield should step down and out
and let the coal proposition take care
OF itself2 At this stage OF the pro-
ceedings Interference with either OF
these two matters might not have any
serious affect, and IL might. However
the present Congress will put us on a
normal footing as soon as practical, l
have no doubt.
Would they repeal the charter OF the
United States Grain Corporation whose
existence makes it possible and prac-
tical for the government 10 maintain
the price guaranteed the farmers for
their wheat crop Of the ensuing year?
Would they hand back TO the old man
agement before normal conditions are
restored the railroads? As shippers Of
wheat we found the crop moved much
more promptly and with considerable
less loss by leaky cars this season than
last. We had an advance freight rate,
but at that, not near so acute as even
the advance in the price Of your paper.
And from your editorial columns
feel that am safe in assuming that
your paper was in no wise under Fed
eral control.
OF course they would put us on pro-
tsctiye tariff basis and IS this so nee
essary Just now 10 the maintainance
OF a high wage scale. when we con-
slider that our casualties in the war
were only about O2 per cent OF the
casualties OF those who will in the near
future be our competitors in the open
market2 / hope you will see fit TO en-
tighten your readers on these lines and
as ! am a daily reader Of your paper
I win be included in the number.
Yours very truly.
