them only into her hands. You must

Edith nodded. "Yes," she said tex.

Archman's Jaws hardened. "And

How could they? How could thet

Archman's eyes swept suspiciously over

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-ROOt

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 of 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, sent ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co. B~inghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this observation-disclosures.

himself in it as firmly as If he had
been there al; his life. The fact that
ne had left Chicago did not mean at
all that he had stopped building M
MS business. In fact, once he had
gotten the New York branch to run
ming smoothly he began to plan to gel
control of the meat supply that was
beginning to come in from Argentina.
Soon he determined to divert some of
his transatlantic steamships to that
part of h world. He selected one
OF his cattle boats, the Ell Rio. and
sent her to the Ontario docks to be
overhauled and fitted up with passen-
ger accommodations, announcing thai
he was going to Argentina on 1t to
open up the business. Day after day,

ne visited the basin to see how the
work was coming on. He paid little
attention to his family's social prog.
ress.
Meanwhile Mrs. Archman was
storming the social citadel. To aid
her, she had unlimited millions, two
handsome daughters. a good-looking
son, and a somewhat vague claim. on
her husbands side, to an aristocratic
Danish ancestry.
Bess. the younger daughter. being a
hearty, healthy American girl. made
much g%ood-natured fun of her moth
er's social aspirations. Continually
she chaffed the elder lady, a mode of
attack which Mrs. Archman took in
good part and even enjoyed.
Early in the evening of the day
when Morbach came to his death Mrs.
Archman hustled in the parlor of her
big country house, where her daugh-
tiers were Willing away the time til!

CHAPTER Ill
One Way to Break In.

A year before the day on which the
mysterious Morbach had met his mys-
terious death. Henry Archman had
moved his family from Chicago to New
York.
He did not want TO leave Chicago.
He had lived In the Lake city all his
life. and he had spread his roots deep.
His father. reputed TO be well con-
nected in his native land. Denmark,
had brought him and his mother to
the western metropolis fifty years be-
fore. and had opened a small grocery
store. which many years later Henry
Archmnn had expanded into the enor-
nous meat-packing business Of Arch
man 4 Company.
Henry Archmnn was sober. indus
trlous. hard working, fond and proud
Of the country in which he had lived
nenrly all his life. He was perfectly
happy, having everything he wanted
plenty OF work and power over men
md things. Like many another man,
however, he was the victim OF his
family. He fought rs long as he
could against their desire to move TO
New York. but yielded nj last.
Each OF the family had his or her
own reasons for wanting TO migrate.
Mrs. Archmnn. for instance. wanted
