HuBBARD's LETTER

NEW YORK, April 27.--1n spite of con- tinued rains over Texas the market fails to respond materially to the bad weather in the south. This is due to two facts; First. the blow which speculation received from the investigation of the Sugar eS- change and which has shaken confidence badly, and second. to the fact that there has not been any response in the dry goods buying, awaiting some development in that line. The unfavorable banking situation in Norway also was an unfavorabie fac- & end covering appeared. We expect the marekt to quiet down for the time ne, being s,t1. ation.--Hubbard Bros. X Co.

but he could not rid himself Of the
impression that some unusually potent
force emanated from the man. The
creature reminded him of venomous
snake.
A moment later his impression was
proved correct. The newcomer
knocked at the door as all had done,
but his reception was very different.
The bearded man rose to his feet, and
all the others followed suit. The
German came forward and shook his
hands. His heels clicked together.
I'VE are honored," he said. I'VE
are greatly honored. I much feared
that 1t would be impossible"
The other answered in a low voice
that had kind of hiss in it:
'There were difficulties. 1t will not
meeting is essential-to define my pol
icy. I can do nothing without-Mr.
Brown. He is here?"
The change in the Germans voice
was audible as he replied with slight
hesitation:
is impossible for him to be present in
person." He stopped, giving curious
impression Of having left the sentence
unfinished.
A very slow smile overspread the
face Of the other. He looked round
at circle of uneasy faces.
"Ah! understand. I have read of
his methods. He works in the dark
and trusts no one. But, all the same.
it is possible that he is among us
now. :" He looked round him
again, and again that expression of
fear swept over the group. Each man
seemed eyeing his neighbor doubt
fully.
The Russian tapped his cheek.
$50 be it. Let us proceed"
The German indicated the place he
had been occupying at the head Of
the table. The Russian demurred. but
the other insisted.
at is the only possible place." he
said 'for-Nummber One. Perhaps
Number Fourteen will shut the door?"
In another moment Tommy was
again confronting bare wooden panels,
and the voices within had sunk once
more to mere undistinguishable mur-
mur. Tommy became restive. The
conversation he had overheard had
stimulated his curiosity. He felt that,
by hook or by crook, he must hear
more.

The common criminal, thv veU-bred
Irish gentleman. the pate Russian, and
the efficient German master Of the
ceremonies! Truly a strange and sin
lister gathering! Who was this man
who held In his finger these curiousIy
variegated links of an unknown chain7
Two knocks followed In quick sue
cession on the door below. The first
man was quite unknown to Tommy,
who put him down as city clerk. A
quiet, intelligent-looking man, rather
shabbily dressed. The second was of
the working classes, and his face was
vaguely familiar to the young man.
Three minutes later came another,
man Of commanding appearance, ex-
quisltely dressed. and evidently well
born. His face, again, was not un-
known to the watcher, though he
could not for the moment put a name
to It.
After his arrival there was a long
wait. In fact, Tommy concluded that
the gathering was now complete. and
was just cautiously creeping out from
his hiding place, when another knock
sent him scuttling back to cover.
This last-comer came up the stairs
so quietly that he was almost abreast
of Tommy before the young man had
realized his presence.
He was small man. very pale, with
gentle, almost womanish air. The
angle of the cheek-bones hinted at his
Slavonic ancestry, otherwise there
was nothing to Indicate his national
ity. As he passed the recess, he
turned his head slowly. The strange
light eyes seemed to burn through the
curtain; Tommy could hardly believe
that the man did not know he was
there and In spite of himself he shIv-
cred. He was no more fanciful than
the majority of young Englishmen,

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 is
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
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root 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 a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertiseme
