why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a Strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-

should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DIR.

4 sShOw me-"
Clay Wimburn came in after dinner.
His protests against Daphne's project
were louder than Bayard's, with the
added rancor of jealousy. But he had
no substitute to offer.
She forebore to tell him Of the Gerst
affair. He was deep enough in the
mire. He went away little later and
she returned to her cubbyhole with
the Chivvises.
Those were black days for all Amer
lea, suffering under the backfire from
the sudden war and from the long IA
tigue of hard times. There were weeks
of dread lest the United States be
sucked into the maelstrom at time
when 1t was least prepared in money,
arms, or spirit. Never, perhaps, in hui
man chronicle had so many people
looked with such bewildered misery
on so many people locked in such
Inultifarious carnage.
At such a time, as in an epoch of
plague. there came a desperate need
of respite from woe; soldiers sky
Iarked in trenches; war widows
danced in gay colors; festivals were
held in the name of charity friyoli-
ties and vices were resorted to that
good souls might renew themselves
for the awful work before them.
1t was in such mood of imperative
demand for cheer of some sort that
Tom, Duane swan back into Daphne's
gloomy sky.
Daphne had come home after a
morning Of rebuffs. She was heart
sore and footsore, in shabby boots
that she could not replace. She was
called to the telephone, and Duane's
voice chanted in her ear with tone
of peculiarly comforting melancholy.
"That you, Miss Kip? This is me,
Mr.. Duane. Poor Tom Duane. Poor
Toms a-cold. I came back to town
unexpectedly early. have. something
important to say to you. Will you
take little ride with me in my carp
"Why not?" she said, with a laugh.
She was glad that he could not see the
tears that gushed across her eyelids.
"Three cheers for you I'll be there
in a jiffy. You couldn't arrange to
dine with me, could you? Or could
you?'
Again she answered, "Why not?"
Duane's voice rang back: 'Tip-top!
You've made me happy as a box of
pups. I'm halfway there already"

]? what of it? Nobody,

"WhO has? What of it? Nobody's
paying anybody"
"But had an urgent letter from
your bookkeeper, or somebody"
Don't mind her. She gets excited.
Nobody pays me. You come in and
get another gown and you'll catch a
millionaire with it."
1t was hard for Dutilh to keep his
clients clear in his. memory.
"But can't afford it."
"And can't afford to have my chill
dren going round in last years rags.
You do as you're told and come around
next week. I'll get my money out Of

Leila felt rapturous desire to kiss
him and call him names of gratitude.

Mr.. Dutilh, how much money does a

His smile was quenched. He studied

that he grew solemn, too.
"That's too bad! Well, I've got

Leila. do you want a job, too?"
"No, thank your Leila snapped.
Her eyes were blacker than ever with
rage, and her red-white cheeks
curdled with shame. She could not
trust herself to speak. Her brunette
beauty had the threat Of storm
loaded thundercloud.
When she and Daphne had taken
their departure, Leila still dared not
speak to Daphne on the way home.
She dared not speak to her at all.
Leila brought triumph to Bayard.- She
told him what Dutilh had told her of
his willingness to wait for his money.
Bayard embraced Leila and hailed
her as an angel. When she had taken
full toll of her success. she told Bay

the cleaning. They emerged above
the chain of Croton lakes and ran
across the big dam and wound along
the shore, crossing iron bridge after
iron bridge, till they came to little
roadside inn whose lights had vel
low warmth.
Were stopping here for dinner, If
you don't mind,"s said Duane.
Daphne was a trife III at ease, but
she was hungry, too. and the adventure
was exhilarating. There were not
many people. at, the tables, and they
were Of an adventurous cast as well.
When Duane had given his order. he
asked Daphne if she would join the
rest of the diners who had left their
chairs to fox-trot. She shook her head
and he did not urge her.
But by the time their dinner was
served and eaten the nagging, inter
minable music had played away near
ly all her scruples.
When Duane looked at her with an
appealing smile, she. smiled back, nod
ded and rose. He leaped to his feet
and took her in his arms.
Somehow, it was not mere dancing
now. He had told her that he loved
her. There was in his embrace an
eagerness that was full of Difference,
but full of delight as well. After all,
she was alone with him in a company
that seemed not to be very respectable,
and was growing less so every hour.
Her feet and all her limbs and every
muscle of her reveled in the gambol

but her heart and mind and conscience
were troubling her till she stopped
short at last and said:
SIN sorry, but I'D rather not
dance any more here"
Duane paused in a moments
chagrin. Then he sighed: "All right"
They retreated to their table, and ne
looked at her sadly, and she sadly at
him. Then he seemed to like her even
better than before, and he said, with a
very tender smile:
want to go home?"
eff you don't mind"
When they came out upon the veraa-
da of the hotel the lake was q vast
charger of frosted silver among the
hills. They stood admiring it for
moment and the music from the hotel
seemed to come from another world.
He helped her into the car and they
whisked away southerly.
He returned to the road along the
Hudson, ard it was so beautiful in the
moonglow that it seemed pity to
speed. And what was she going back
to that she should be in such haste?
She limited as much to Duane, and
he bettered the suggestion. Not only
did he check the speed, but at one
wooded cliffside with vista of pecu-
liar majesty he wheeled out of the
road and stopped the car, shut down
the chuttering engine and turned off
the strenuous lights.
They sat utterly content till Duane
shook off the blissful stupor. They
could not stay here thus forever. They
could not stay much longer. 1t was
growing cold and late.
He did not dare to look at Daphne.
He did not quite need to. He could
imagine her pretty head and the
drowsy, adorable eyes, the lips pursed
with childish solemnity, the throat
stem in the urn contour of her Shout
ders, the vaselike curves of her young
torso. He imagined these from mem
DRY, for they now were swaddled in
thick mot0rcoat. But without turning
his head he could see her little eands
clasped idly at her knees, the little
gloves turned back at the wrist. He
thought that he would like to take
them in his-he would like to take all
of her in his arms, into his heart. into
his keeping.
Yet he did not want to marry her.
He did not admire marriage in it's re-
suits as he saw them in other people
Like many another, he cherished
wicked ideals because the everyday
virtues worked out so imperfectly, so
unbeautifully.
Daphne was musing almost as
vaguely. On the river yacht at an
Choir poised like a swan asleep. She
would like to own a yacht. On the
opposite side of the river along the
road she could see motorcars like IN
quisitive crickets with cleaning eyes
and feelers of light. She would like
to own a motor or two.
If she were the wife of as rich
man as this man at her side, how

it simply, without emphasis, knowing

M Drake has a plantation covering

German and English syndicates
own most OF the railroads, stores and
commercial enterprises. but many citi'

tricts and building roads.
Central America needs roads and

government is anxious to welcome any

the country, but there is no room fo-
promoters who will return to the
Aladdin lamp variety.
'.There In money to be made in Cen

The climate is splendid, but for the
Northern man 1t Is extremely trying
because OF the monotony. One day is
exactly like the other-neither hot nor
cold-just the same day after day.
The first year or two the man from
the United States is ambitious, but
after that he is content to sit in the
shade and watch the natives work.

There is room and opportunity in

not say that they would come out

many advantages not found in the
