the ebony blackness. 1t grew larger.
Black tree-trunks crossed her line of
vision. The light was a fire. She
heard cowboy song and the wild
chorus of pack Of coyotes. Stew
arts tall figure, with sombrero slouched
down, was now and then outlined
against growing circle of light And
by the aid of that light she saw him
turn every moment or so to took back,
probably to assure himself that she
was close behind.
With a prospect Of fire and warmth,
and food and rest, Madeline's enthusi-
asm revived. What a climb! There
was promise in this wild ride and lone
ly trail and hidden craggy height, not
only In the adventure her friends
yearned for, but in some nameless Joy
and spirit for herself.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggist,
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 il
soon realized. 1t stands the highest fol
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 sc
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.-Advertisement.

Once more Stewart faced the ascent,

rods behind him, looked back with
concern at her friends. Here the real
toll, the real climb began, and noun
tain storm was about to burst In all its
fury.
The sky grew biacker; the slow
gathering clouds appeared TO be sud-
denly agitated; they piled and rolled
and mushroomed and obscured the
crags. The air moved heavily and
seemed to be laden with sulphurous
smoke, and sharp lightning flashes be-
gan to play. A distant roar of wind
could be heard between the peals of
thunder.
Stewart waited for Madeline under
the lee of a shelving cliff, where the
cowboys had halted the pack-train.
Majesty was sensitive to the flashes of
lightning. Madeline patted his neck
and softly called to him. The weary
burros nodded; the Mexican women
covered their heads with their mantles.
Stewart united the slicker at the back
of Madeline's saddle and helped her
on with it. Then he put on his own.
The other cowboys followed suit. Pres

The saying, Good Wine Needs No

ports there was strange hollow roar
sweeping down upon her, she realized
how small was her knowledge and ex-
perience of the mighty forces of ma
ture.
With blacker gloom and deafening
roar came the torrent of rain. 1t was
cloud-burst 1t was like solid water
tumbling down. For long Madeline
sat her horse head bent to the pelting
rain. When it's force lessened and she
heard Stewart call for all to follow,
she looked up to see that he was start
ing once more. She turned her horse
into his trail.
Rain fell steadily. The fury of the
storm, however, had passed, and the
roll of thunder diminished in volume.
The air had wonderfully cleared and
was growing cool. Madeline began to
feel uncomfortably cold and wet. Stew
art was climbing faster than formerly,
and she noted that Monty kept at her
heels, pressing her on. Time had been
lost, and the camp-site was long way
off. The stag-hOunds began to lag and
get footsore. The sharp rocks of the
trail were cruel to their feet. Then,
as Madeline began to tire, she noticed
less and less around her. Her horse
climbed and climbed and brush and
sharp corners of stone everlastingly
pulled and tore at her wet garments.
A gray gloom settled down around her.
Night was approaching.
Stewards horse was on a jog-trot
now, and Madeline left the trail more
to Majesty than to her own choosing.
AS black night began to envelop her
surroundings, she marked that the fir
trees had given place to pine forest.

The visitors started with Knight
pitching, but when the Delta slugsers
had knocked out eight runs in the
first five innings Knight was sent to
the toolies and Kiliian took the
mound with better results. shutting
out his opponents. though several
times the locals had the bases filled
and no one out, Kiilian worked out
exceptionally well in the pdnches.
Very seldom do ball players face a
better twirler than on this occasion
when the Junction boys swung at
Ament's curves. and he performed
with his usual cool head and good
nature, keeping his control through
the game. He had an admirable back
stop in Pete Atkins OF Somerset,
while "Wop" Flynn, Mathers. Ramsey
and Heddles made an almost impreg-
nable infedld. The outfield was
"Chuck" Adams. Bill Graham and
Thyret.
Ament allowed the visitors but four
hits, three Of which go to the credit Of
!. Rlaney and one to "Rowde-dow"
