Important to All Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands of wc-en
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; it makes
any one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
lions. os
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive sam

Of our expert geologist in further de-

Gramont told of finding the oil; he
was not carried away by the gay
mock-solemnity of Jachin Fell, and he
remained grave. He went on to relate
how he had secured the lease option
upon the adjoining land, and suggest
ed that other such options be secured
at once upon other property in the
neighborhood. He handed the option
to Fell, who laid it with the other
documents.
"And now ! have proposal of my
own to make" said joachim Fell. He
appeared sobered, as though influ-
enced by Gramont's manner. "Al-
though we've actually found oil on the
place, there Is no means of telling
how much wen find when we drill,
or what quality 1t win be. Is that not
correct, Mr.. GramontY
Entirely So" assented Gramont.
''The chances are, Of course, that wen
find oil in both quality and quantity.
On the other hand, the seepage may be
all there is. Oil is a gamble from
start to finish. Personally, however,

Gramont nodded in dull comprehen-

vised this whole business scheme with
internal ingenuity; had devised 1t in
order to take hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars out Of his own pocket and
put 1t into that of Lucie. It was a
present which the girl would never ac-
cept as gift, but which, If it came
in the way of business, would make
her financially Independent. Nobody
would be defrauded. There was no
chicanery about 1t. The thing was
straight enough.
"That's not quite all Of my plan,"
pursued Fell, as though reading Ora
