"That's as may be. I came here on

"Tm glad to see you on business,

CHAPTER discontinued.


Now Wilton had succeeded. Big
Muskeg was conquered, and on the east
shore the vanguard of the line was
driving the cleared way forward and
pegging out the way for the metals
Soon grading would begin. Wilton's
camp would shrink, and the engines
would be moved ahead, and-he would
have time to think.
He dreaded that. He had not seer
Molly or the factor since that night
of the subsidence. He knew that
Bowyer had paid more than one visit
to the store. but he shrugged his
shoulders and put 1t out Of his mind.
The workmen, after their months
Of arduous labor, had begun to grow
slack. There was restiveness in the
camp. Once or twice Wilton had seen
signs of liquor. He detected It in the
slowing up Of work; he had smelled 1t
in the bunkhouses-the penetrating
odor Of cheap alcohol, with its sugges-
ton of gasoline.
Andersen, forestalling him, came to
him about the time Of this discovery.
'They're getting that rot-gut again,
Mr.. Carruthers," he said. II don't
know where. I'm keeping my eyes
peeled, but amt said nothing"
"The best policy" said Wilton. ''The
men have worked hard. When this jobs
finished well let them slack up for
a dsy or two. Then we'll get down
to business on this proposition. But
II you find out anything let me know
at once"
A few days later came the spanning
of the swamp. On the same afternoon
a summons came from the court, to-
gether with letter from Quain. The
police had at last picked up Papillon
and Passepartout, and had recovered
the rifle and transit compass. Wilton
was wanted In Clayton to give evil
dence against the men.
The call was opportune. Wilton had
already determined to put into execu-
tion a plan that he had formed. 1t
was now October. and little more than
two months remained before the loan
would be called. That would give
Bowyer the control of the Missatibi.
Driven by the ironical realization that
he was working FOR Bowyer, Wilton
had resolved to go to Clayton as soon
as the trestling was completed, and
try to raise the money to pay Phayre.
who, he knew, would not renew the
note.
Big Muskeg was spanned. And, on
the strength of that, Wilton believed
the time had come to give Joe's secret
to the world. He would publish far
and wide the secret of the wheat
lands. He would establish sufficient
confidence in the line to make the
raising of loan possibility.
Before leaving he placed a night
guard on duty over the office, and ar
ranged with Andersen to have three
or four reliable men on watch In the
event of the laborers attempting to
cross the portage. He went to Clayton
and laid his statement before d.
rectors' meeting. They heard him In
tIisid silence. Y.

$50 to s72 monthly and their widows pensions would
be increased from $50 to $50 month. Other bene
iciaries include Civil War army nurses, who would
receiye $50 per month while pensioners of the Indian
wars would receive $50 aid and their widows $40
a month.
Proponents of the measure argue that owing to
death of many survivors of these wars the Treasury
would not be called for any outlay than in
former years and that the passage of the bill will not
add to the annual expenses of the Government. On
the same ground increased pension rates might be
granted every year until the final survivor should
receive the sum paid by the Government to some
thousands of benefcaries. That is where such sys-
EN- would lead to if carried it's ultimate.
Where disabilities have affected the capacity OF
veterans of former in earning livelihood, it is

While the economies effected constitute forecful
argument for continuation OF the present system II
should borne in mind that they were not the
principal end aimed at in the enactment CT theIaW,
The main reason for adopting cooperative road law
was to make available for expenditure in certain
portions of Territory Federal funds amounting to
about $500 600 which tied up in the Federal
treasury because the Territorial government had no
fund on which to for the cooperation required
by Federal statute From the time of the enactment

IF KIDNEYS And
BLADDER BOTHER
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys
and neutralize irritating
acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness often
result from uric acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it may re-
main to irritate and infiame, caus-
ing a burning, scalding sensation,
or setting up an irritation at the
neck of the bladder, obliging you to
seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night. The sufferer is in

ton and is very profuse; again.
there is difficulty voiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks
call it, because they can't control
urination. While it is extremely
annoying and sometimes very pain
full, this is often one of the most
simple ailments to overcome Get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
your pharmacist and take a table,
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or
three days. This will help neutralize
the acids in the urine so 1t no longer

der and urinary organs, which then
act normal again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and is used by thousands of
folks who are subject to urinary
disorders caused by uric acid irri-
tation. Jad Salts Is splendid for
the kidneys and causes no bad eff
fects whatever
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which often
quickly relieves bladder irritation.
