the wearers had sat on the doorstep

his judgment the place had indeed
been under guard, and that recently
the marks were comparatively fresh
and cleancut, as though made within
q few hours.
Then, in all probability, this had
been the prison where his wife was
held. He had stumbled upon 1t. Here,
undoubtedly, was the very spot where
she had been confined under guard
during the past night, yet she certain
ly was not there now. The deserted
appearance of the place was proof
positive that she had been taken else

away to present danger; even as he
stood cautiously up, and looked out
over the tops OF the weeds he could
see nothing to create alarm. He was
alone, unseen, unsupported, and yield
ed to the desire to learn what was
within the hut. She might have left
some message, some sign of her pres
ence, which would prove a clue.
The outer door was secured merely
by wooden latch, and opened easily
to his touch. Afraid lest some I'M
known eye might mark his movements,
Shelby glided quickly in through the
narrow opening, and instantly pressed
the door shut behind him. He was in

thus permitting the gray daylight to
gain entrance. This gave him dim
view of the interior, nearly square
room, inexpressibly dirty, and without
furniture, except a rough bench thrust
back against one wall.
Straight across from where he stood
some black object lay upon the floor
so indistinct in its outlines he could
not, in that faint light, determine
what it might be-a pile Of rags. per-
haps, or a shapeless heap of rubbish
He stepped forward, curious to learn
its nature, yet stopped suddenly, star
ing down in speechless horror. He was
beside the bodies of two men. both
dead, gripped together, stiffened in
the very attitude with which death
had overtaken them. They had died
fighting like wild dogs, and their
strange posture told the whole story.
Shelby, crushing back the dread he
felt, tried to part them, but the stiff
fened limbs would not yield. One was
a white mai. the other an Indian, the
latter shot through the chest, the for
mer apparently choked to death, the
rigid RED fingers of his antagonist still
clutching his throat. Beyond on the
floor lay a revolver and knife.
Shelby stared at the gruesome scene,
unable to remove his gaze. In the
dim light the features Of the two men
were almost unrecognizable. What
had caused this tragedy? this fierce

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
IL 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 fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a 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 DIR. 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 has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects .uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
