For many years druggists have watched

cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they

Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has SO many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start

He closed the door behind him, and

IL aware of his presence. He wondered
if Hobart was listening at the door !;
what had become of Mike, and whether
Sexton was alive or dead. For the mo-
ment he could scarcely make himself
realize the true situation. His silence
served TO arouse her interest, for she
suddenly lifted her head and looked at
him.
"Well,' she said soberly. 'eYou have
something TO ask"
"AIuch-yes; but first, are we
alone?"
"Certainly-why?
"This man Hobart, you are sure he
is not listening at the door,"
She glanced about; then laughed.
Little good that would do him;
there is no key-hole, no chance for
