FROM The Low

Cheering Message From South
Georgia to People Subject to
Fevers and Other IIls-Try
Black-Draught Liver
Medicine.

Ocilla, Ga.-Mr. j. H. McNeill, a
resident of this place, says: IT and
my family have been users of Thed-
ford's Btack-Draught for years and
never yet found its equal for liver
and stomach troubles. 1t is without
doubt the best medicine for head
ache, indigestion and such ills on
the market. 1 firmly believe IL a
family would use it regularly they
would never have any fever, as 1t
keeps the liver active and is so easy
to take. We have never had any
fever in our family since we began
its use, although we live in low
country in Southern Georgia.
1 use it in broken doses for indi-
gestion, gas or sour stomach, but
for colds | use full DOSE"
When you feel bad all over, stom-
ach not right, bad taste in your
mouth. head aches. bilious, etc., try
that old, reliable vegetable liver
medicine you have heard so much
about-Thedford's Black-Draught.
You have read over and over again
the statements from users who found
it of great relief to them in their
suffering. Try Black-Draught for
yourself. Why should it not bring
you relief, too?

The ten minutes passed very much
too quickly. She was gone, and John,
thrilled though he was through all his
senses by the almost passionate fervor
Of her leave-taking, found himself
once more confronted by that little
black demon. There was something
about all Of them, all these people
whom he knew to be his friends, which
seemed to him to SAVIOR Of conspira-
cy. There was nothing that could be
put into definite shape-Just the ghost
Of torturing, impossible thoughts. He
was In no humor to go home. Chang
Ing the order he had first given to the
chauffeur. he was driven instead to a
small Bohemian club which he had
Joined at Graillot's instigatlon. He
had a vague hope that he might find
the great dramatist there. There were
no signs of him. however, In the smok-
Ing room, or anyone else whom John
knew.
He threw himself into an easy chair
and ordered a whisky-and-soda. Two
men close at hand were writing at
desks; others were lounging about,
discussing the evenings reception. One
man, sitting upon the table, a recog-
nIzed authority, was treating the COM
pany to a fluent dissertation upon
modern actresses. winding up by con-

CHAPTER XXI.

Toward nine O'Clock on the follow
Ing morning John rose from a fitfui
sleep and looked around him. Even
before he could recall the events Of
the preceding night he felt that there
was weight pressing upon his brain,
miserable sense of emptiness In life,
a dull feeling Of bewilderment. AL
though he had no clear recollection Of
getting there, he realized that he was
in his own sltting-room, and lint he
had been asleep upon the couch. He
saw, too. that 1t was morning, for n
ray of sunlight lay across the carpet.
AS he struggled TO his feet, he saw
with a little shock that he was not

world was falling away from him.
II will not discuss this matter with

which we live. Louise Maurel is an

live the life. They have dozen new
emotions In season. They make Q

their own life into small pieces ant

anywhere. This Nine. Latrobe, who
opens over here tomorrow night, is in
love at the present moment with Jean

tell me. She was certainly in Madrid
In October with Bretoldi, the sculp-

II was out at lasti John had heard
IL spoken In plain words. The black
demon upon which his hand had lain
so heavily, was alive now, without n
doubt, jeering at him, hooking at him
alive and self-nssertive in the sober
words Of the elderly. well-bred man
who lounged upon the table.
For a moment or two John was
stunned. A wild impulse assailed him
to leap up and confront them all, to
choke the lie back down the throat
Of the man who had uttered IL. Every
nerve In his body was tngling with
the desire for action. The stupor OF

how things were. This man had not

He had spoken what he had accepted

way toward the door. His face showed

self-control became In danger. He
seized the Frenchman savagely by the
arm.

him toward the card-room. -Come in

very well what was coming.
John felt his throat suddenly dry.

we're standing.
