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-
tansively 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.
prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l 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 fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

COW is a delicate milk-producing ma
chine, and sudden changes In her food

CHAPTER XII

They started forward then, making
their way through the slime and silt
Of the drift flooring, slippery and wet
from years of flooding. On-on-they
stopped.
Progress had become impossible. Be-
rore them, twisted and torn and piled
about In muddy confusion, the TIM
bers of the mine suddenly showed In
perfect barricade, supplanted from
behind by piles of muck and rocky
refuse which left no opening to the
chamber Of the stope beyond. Har-
rvs carbide went high in the air, and
he slid forward, to stand a moment
in thought before the obstacle. At
place after place he surveyed it, finally
to turn with shrug of his shoulders.
"1t's going to mean more'n a month
of the 'ardest kind Of work, Boy" came
his final announcement. "'Ow it could
ave caved in like that is more than
I know. I'm sure we timbered it
good"
There was only one thing to do
turn back. Fifteen minutes more and
they were on the surface, making
theti plans; projects which entailed
work from morning until night for
many day to come. Harry reached
for new ak and indicated another.
"Well cut ties first." he announced.
And thus began the weeks Of effort,
weeks in which they worked with
crude appliances; weeks in which they
dragged the heavy, stulls and other
timbers into the tunnel and then low

was determination to fight for that
innocence as long as It was humanity
possible. But gossip told what he did
not.
There were those who remem-
bered the departure Of Thornton Fair
child from Ohadi. There were others
who recollected perfectly that in the
center Of the rig was man, appar-
emily "Sissie" Larsen. And they asked
questions. They cornered Harry, they
shot their queries ut him one after
another. But Harry was adamant.
Il amt got anything to syel And
there's an end to It'll"
Late that night, as they were en-
gagged at their usual occupation of re-
lating the varied happenings of the
day to Mother Howard, there came a
knock at the door. Instinctively, Fair
child bent toward her:
"YOur names out Of this-as long
as possible"
She smiled in her mothering, know
ing way. Then she opened the door,
there to find a deputy from the
sheriffs Office.
''They've impaneled a jury up at the

coroner wants Mr.. Fairchild and Mr..
Harkins to come up there and tell

THE CROSS-CuT

forget Squint Rodaine and his chalky-
faced son; down here they could feel
that they were working toward goal
and lay aside the handicap which
humans might put In their path.
Day after day of labor and the in
dentation upon the cavern grew from
matter of feet to one of yards. A
week. Two. Then. rs Harry swung
his pick, he lurched forward and went
to his knees. "1've gone through!" he
announced in happy surprise. "I've
gone through. We're Mt the end of 1t ~
Up went Fairchild's carbide. Where
the pick still hung in the rocky mass,
a tiny hole showed, darker than the
surrounding refuse. There was Joy
in Harry's voice US he made momen-
tary survey.
ITS fairly dry be'ind there" he an
nounced. "Otherwise we'd have been
scrambling around in water up to our
necks. We're lucky there, any'ow." :
Again the attack and again the hole
widened. At last Harry Strengthened.
1--WE can go In now," came finally.
"Are you willing to go with me?"
"You mean-?"
But Harry stopped him.
Lets don't talk about It till we
ave to. Come on"
Silently they crawled through the
opening, the silt and fire rock rattling
about them as they did so, to come
upon fairly dry earth on the other
\ side, and to start forward. Suddenly,
as they walked along, Harry took the
lead, holding his lantern far ahead of,
him, with one big hand behind 1t, as
though for reflector. Then, just as
suddenly, he turned.
Lets 80 out" came shortly.
"Why?"
"It's there!" In the light Of the
lantern, Harry's face was white, his
big lips livid. Lets go"
But Fairchild stopped him.
Harry" he said, and there was de-
termination in his voice, "if it's there
we've got to face it. Don't you
| think that certain people would make
an investigation If we should happen
to quit the mine now?"
"The Rodaines!"
Exactly. And how much worse
would it be for them to tell the news
than for us"
Nobody as to tell it" Harry was
| staring at his carbide flare-"there's
wye"
"But we can't take it, Harry. In
my fathers letter was the statement
that he made only one mistake-that
Of fear. I'm going to believe him
and in spite of what I find here, I'm
going to hold him innocent, and I'm
going to be fair and square and above
board about it all. There's nothing on
my conscience-and I know that If my
father had not made the mistake Of
running away when he did, there
would have been nothing on his"
Harry shook his head.
"'E couldn't do much else, Boy, Ro-
daine was stronger in some ways then
than he is now. That was in different
days. That was in times when Squint
Rodaine could ave gotten 'undred
men together quicker'n a cats wink

toward the younger man "you say

"Go on" said Fairchild, and he
spoke the words between tightly
| clenched teeth. Harry turned his Ught
