Her voice had grown serious. She

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason Why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
ccrative value almost sells itself, as ike
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to chose 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 DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism

times, have way of persisting. cling

most difficult to get rid of them when
new people have succeeded to resi-

names are so ridiculous they harm the
community, tending at all times to put

byword.
All over the country are to be found
places where the old-time wit left his
contribution of harmful levity, against
which the community struggles. In
the northern part of Missouri was a
little community that was given. In
the days before the war, the rather
startling name Of Burnshirt. The
name grew out of an incident that
took place when some big-game hunt
ers were encamped at the settlement.
The name appealed to the risibilities
of the community and for two genera
tons it was compelled to bear that
name. 1t had small degree Of COM

THE RED MASK.

mother on a houseboat on the wa

name he has-learns from her a
part of the story of her sad hfe-

fearful fit of coughing and he hur-

girl whom he mentally christens

has attracted the attention OF the
ailing woman, and they move into
it. Their first meal is interrupted
by the Man-in-the- Fancy-Vest.
Pearihunter strikes him. Gunplay
threatens. The mother dramati-

She says he is the "Other Man,

suits pictured and it can be recon-
mended to the older women more par
ticularly, just as it is. Its skirt is
bordered at the bottom with narrow
band braided-or embroidered-in self

straight with simulated belt at the
long waistline, slightly 1aring and
long sleeves, and loosely adjusted
and interesting collar, in as much as
it is type greatly favored in col
lars for this spring. The sleeves make
place for a deep band of Draiding or
embroidery that gives an invaluable
finish to rich looking suit.
If one is looking for something
novel the suit at the right claims at
tention on this score. 1t has tunic
skirt and a very odd and ingeniously
cut jacket that is extended at the bot
tom into shaped sash ends. Narrow
braid in two widths outlines the edges,
and the sleeves add their approval to
the long bell-shaped style.

Cabin of the Three Gables
For some distance back from the

Nv what seems TO have happened to
strip along the north bank. A maze
of gulch and cliff, of gully and bluff !;
all bearded thick with trees and dense
underbrush; all alive with the teasing
mystery of growing things.
The path the girl travelled wound
itself, or rather unwound itself, right
through the heart Of the hills, deep
into the mystery of the thick woods,
until it turned sharply and led up the
east bank of Wolf run, the little
stream in which the Pearlhunter had
washed the elecampane roots.
A short distance above the pool, so
near that the PearIhunter wondered
ne had not seen it before, a three
gabled, one-story log cabin snugged
back against the bluffs just where they
left the bank of the stream and curved

Patch Your LinoIeum.

When linoleum wears out in any
spot mark out with chalk on the limo
leum the piece you wish to repair. The
shape of this piece should be square,
circular or triangular. Cut it out with
sharp, shOrt-bladed knife and place
it as pattern on new piece of limo
leum and cut out carefully. Put hot
glue around the edge and a little I'M
derneath and fix it into the empty
space The glue will secure it firmly,
filing up the crack ali around, and so
prevent dust from entering the joint.
No nails are required. If the linoleum
has design and the new piece is
matched the joint will scarcely be
noticed.

His gaze travelled to the fire place
A revolver--a very dependable look
ing six-gun---lay upon the mantel.
Above it, arranged across a draped
American flag, hung a silk sash,
tasseled cord, pair of silver spurs,
and a sword. Looped in the sword
hilt were two strands of ribbon, one
purple, the other gold. There came
a dim remembrance that he had once
heard somewhere these were the col
ors of a famous regiment that great
ly distinguished itself in the indian
wars.
The half minute or more he had
spent looking over the room had CIV
en- him time to recover his calm, ana
now his glance came back to the rum
in the chair.
The Wild Man was whetting his
knife against his palm, mumbling and
muttering. He seemed to gloat over
the glitter of it--and the girl within
easy reach of his hand. The Pearl
hunter stiffened; gathered himself to
spring. She happened to look up

NTEW suits for spring have made
IN their entry in a bevy Of models
that includes familiar Styles and 9TH
ers ingeniously designed and less IA

will prove short-lived experiments, but
there are several good novel styles
with promising future. There are
more short coats than long ones

hands and long arms We're quivering I;
his hollow face twitching pitifully.
Hes Eever like this" the girl
whispered.
The young man glanced at her and
stood still. The thin hands fluttered
over his face and head. Even their
lightest touch was heavy with a
strength that must have been prodig-
ious-as If the fires of his malady kim
died force in him more than human.
Some impulse of compassion must
have reached the heart Of the Pearl
hunter, for he stretched his long arm
forth and laid it about the old mans
shoulders. Instantly he felt the weight
Of the gray giant upon him. 1t might
have been the one thing the stricken
man craved in his dumb way--the
touch of his kind the prop of mans
arm.
The situation embarrassed the Pearl
hunter. 1t was like winning the con-
! fidence of a little child, and then not
| knowing what to do with it.
| The girl was quick to see his embar-
! rassment, and, much as mother
might coax a child away from some
one she imagined it was annoying, she

mans knees. He bent his head and
felt over the open page with his hand,
| but the weird eyes could no longer re-
solve the frozen magic Of the words
He fidgeted in his chair and the book
slid to the floor.
The picture was too distressing, and
the Pearlhunter turned his face
away. From where he stood he had
an almost unobstructed view into the
! east room, the girls room, and before
he realized it his eyes had strayed
past the curtains. Amusement held
them there a moment in spite of him
The room in striking contrast to what
he had seen OF the rest of the house
was almost bare of furniture-a car

He heard her walking across the
floor and turned away half guilty

entrance of the west room, and he no

TN CHOOSING new blouses one is

promise to be perpetually fresh look
ing-since they may be Numbered cas-
ily-and those that entice with love-
w color. In the end it turns out that
both kinds find their way into the
wardrobe. TO wear with suits and
separate skirts, the daintiness OF sheer
cotton fabrics made up with exquis-
lite needle work and good iaces, never
anpeals in vain to women OF refine

the things that q good seamstress can
