Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
AN examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they havesthe disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However. If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for .

by dropped his rein, and climbed to
higher point Of rock, lying concealed
behind its summit, while he swept the
scene below through the field glasses.
He never had been there before, yet
he knew about where he was; this
must be Dragon creek, and not far
below would be Wolves hole, of which
he often had heard-a famous hiding
place for cattle thieves and border
outlaws. These fellows evidently were
heading for there, but would they try
to complete the journey? His hope

Of safety this would probably be their

studied the course Of the stream, and
the little patches Of wood intently. At

his action. and waiting for the night.
AS the gloom slowly deepened Shell
by was able to distinguish the flicker
Of that far-off fire, but the distance
was too great to permit any knowl-
edge Of its surroundings. The trail
leading down was narrow, and rock
strewn. and he determined to try the
passage while faint gllmmer of twl-
light yet fingered. Leading the buck
skin, and moving with the utmost eau
ton, he began the descent.
The gloom did not greatly retard his
movements, for, through the glasses
he had mapped out the salient fea-
lures, and so impressed them upon his
memory as to go forward now con-
fidently. The camp fire was located in
the third grove Of trees, and there
were no signs Of human presence be-
tween. However, he took no chance,
but advanced quietly on foot, leading
his horse, and using every precaution
against discovery.
He circled the two groves, keeping
close in their shadow. and searching
their depths anxiously for any sign of
life. They were desolate and desert
ed, but, from the outer fringe of the
second he could perceive plainly the
dull glow Of the fire a hundred yards
ahead. 1t was no longer flame, but
a mere glimmer Of red ashes, casting
no reflection about, although clearly
visible. He fastened the bronco to q
limb, within the circle of trees. and
crouched forward alone, Winchester

the bank of the stream, and advanc-
ing with every precautlon, pausing
every few steps, to peer over the pro-
tecting bank, and thus assure himself
that all remained quiet. When almost
exactly opposite the red glow Of the
Goals, he lay still, endeavoring vainly
to learn the situation, and becoming
more and more puzzled
The camp appeared deserted, as
though the party which had halted
there had already passed on. He could
hear no sound, see no movement. The
fire had died down into a mere glim-
mer of red ashes, barely perceptible
amid the surrounding gloom. Shelby

Answering the question what
brought about the change, Mr.. Shriver
