ME Brooks and Paul Lorimer and 9th
ers of that group, there was no telling
what might happen. His interests
might become permanently identified
with Granville.
Bill informed her from time to time
as to the progress of his venture. The
company was duly Incorporated, with
an authorized capital of one hundred
thousand dollars, five thousand dollars
worth of stock being taken out by each
on q cash basis-the remaining sew
enty-five thousand lying in the com
pany treasury, to be held or sold fol-
development purposes as the five saw
fit when work began to show what
the claims were capable of producing
In early March came a telegram
from Whitley Lewis saying that he
had staked the claims, both placer and
lode; that he was bound out by the
Telegraph Trail to file at Hazelton
Bill showed her the message-wired
from Station Six.
II wish l could have been in on it
that was some trip" he said-and
there was trace of discomfort In his
tone. 81 don't fancy somebody else
paving my chestnuts out of the Goals
for me. 1t was sure a mans job to
cross the Klappan in the dead of win
ter"
The filing completed, there was am
pie work in the way of getting out
and whipsawing timber to keep the
five men busy till spring-the five who
were on the ground. Lewis sent word
that thirty feet of snow lay in the
gold-bearing branch. And that was
the last they heard from him. He
was a performer, Bill said, not cor
respondent.
So in Granville the affairs of the
Free Gold Mining company remained
at standstill until the spring floods
should peel off the winter blanket of
the North.
Ultimately, spring overspread the
eastern provinces. And when the
SHOWS of winter successfully gave way
to muddy streets and then TO clean
pavements in the city Of Granville, a
new gilt sign was lettered across the
windows of the brokerage office In
which Paul Lorimer was housed.

OLD PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped to reason why
II is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine:
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know of
has SO large a SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

He declares that no more stock must

ment of capital. In fact, that we
must peg along in the little one-horse
way we started. And that would be
shame. We could make the Free
Gold Mining company the biggest
thing on the map, and put ourselves
on Easy street."
He spread his hands in q gesture Sf

That's why hope you'll use whatever
influence you have, TO induce him to

But" Hazel murmured, In some per
plexity, "from what little 1 know OK
corporations, don't see how he can set
up any difficulty. How can he stop
you from taking any line Of action
whatever"
ooh, not that at ALL" Brooks hastily
assured. "of course, we can outvote
him, and put II through. But we want

Hazel hesitated. Her first instnc-

neither did she wish to be separated

She followed him out into the hall,
and, as he wriggled into his coat. she
had an impulse to throw her arms
around his neck and declare, In all
sincerity, that she would go to the
Klappan or to the north pole or any
place on earth with him, IL he wanted
her. But by some peculiar feminine
reasoning she reflected in the same in
slant that IL Bill were away from her

her mouth. 1t was not wise to be too
meek or obedient where a husband
was concerned. That was another mite

wives of her circle.
So she kissed Bill good-by at the

torted, "Pd take measures to be broke

"You're awful~ Hazel commented.
Bill snorted again.
Tomorrow, you advise our hostess
that we're travelling" he instructed.
"When we come back Wen make head
quarters at hotel until we locate a
place of our own--if you are sure you
want to winter here"
Her mind was quite made up to
spend the winter there, and she frank
Iy said so-provided he had no other
choice. They had to winter some
where.
"Oh, yes, I suppose so. All right
we'll winter here" Bill acquiesced.
"That's settled"
And, as was his habit when he had
come to a similar conclusion, he re-
fused to talk further on that subject
but fell TO specializing idly on New
York. In which he was presently

piloted her to famous cafes, and TO
equally famous theaters. She made
Bundry purchases in magnificent shops.
The huge conglomeration OF sights
and sounds made an unforgettable inn
preston upon her. She sensed keenly
the colossal magnitude of it all. But
she felt a distinct wave of relief when
they were Granville bound once more.
In week they were settled COM
fortably In d0miclle of their own
FIVE rooms in an up-to-date apartment
house. And since the social demands
on Mrs. William Wagstaff's time grew
apnce, a capable maid and cook were
added to the Wagstaff establishment.
Thus she was relieved Of the onus or
housework. Her time was wholly her
own, at her own disposal or Bits, as
she elected.
But by imperceptible degrees they
came to take diverse roads in the swirl
OF life which had caught them up.
There were so many little woman af-
fnirs where man was superfiuous.
There were others which Bill fatty re-
fused to attend. "Hen parties" he
dubbed them. More and more he re-
mained at home with his books.
Sometimes Hazel caught herself
wondering if they were getting as
much out of the holiday as they should
have gotten. as they had planned to
get when they were struggling through
that interminable winter. She was.
But not Bill. If she ventured to give
a tea, he fed the house as If from the
plague. He made acquaintances of his
own, men from God only knew where,
individuals who occasionally filled the
dainty apartment with malodorous to-
bacco fumes, and who would cheer
fully sit up all night discoursing ear
nestly on any subject under the sun.
But so long as Bill found Granville
habitable she did not mind.
She wished fervently that Bill would
tnke up some business that would keep
