Chapter w

AT half-past seven in the evening
Joan descended from the train at Ian
caster station, after an all-day ride.
1t was like going home. Joan could
not see her village, which was on a
branch line, but at Medlington she
was only four miles away. There
were the same misty mountains, break
Ing the horizon line, the same small,
struggling towns, the same fragrance
of the deep forests, bringing back to
her those remembrances which
chance odor suddenly unlooses, as at
the touch Of some magician's stave.
The two years that she had spent at
Avonmouth seemed to slip out of her
recollection.
AS the afternoon flew by the dis
tant mountains changed into a semi
circle of irregular heights. Now the
train was climbing into the foothills.
1t was lonely land. This was fur
Their in the back country than Joan
had ever been. The villages were be-
coming mere clusters of negro cabins.
There had been two changes Of trains |

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-RO0t

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, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this observation-disclosures.

that day than at any time since her
mothers death
She leaned out Of the window. She
suddenly remembered that the insti-
tute was not many miles from her old
home. 1t would be almost going home
and on the morrow. Joy leaped Into
her heart.
Then she saw something that for an
instant chilled the blood In her veins
Across the street. leaning against the
park ratings and looking up at the
house, was short, square-built figure
OF a man wearing a hard hat. She
could not distinguish the face, but
she thought it was Myers. And she
remembered his threat

and each time the coach became shah
bier and more disreputable. and more
impregnated with tobacco smoke. The
character of Joan's fellow travellers
changed as well. They were I'M
couther, they wore chin boards and
rough store suits; they sat perspiring
and collarless, the soft hats pulled
over their foreheads. But she looked
at them with the loving appreciation
OF her own people that was In her

pretty girl who was travelling alone,
displayed the innate courtesy of the
Southerner.
The sun descended; 1t was gliding
the whole land with level rays of gold
and dancing on the horizon like a red
ball when the train pulled into Ian

and looked about her.
The station was tiny place and

Following the closing of the rush

Grand Valley points. the roads were
filled with pickers and packers going

and walk along the roads until they
are fortunate to get a ride to the
next place. Paonia and Hotchkiss be
gan picking the first of this week, and
while hindered a little on account of

COUNTY FAIR DOES NOT
HALT ON ACCOUNT RAIN

1t was extremely unfortunate that
the weather man chose the first two
days of Delta county's fair to send so
much rain. after our long dry spell
but everyone was so glad to see the
rain that there was no complaint. The
fair will be held one day longer. in
order to afford an opportunity to
make up for the lost day-wednes-
day.
When Thursday dawned clear prep
arations were made and a large at
tendance journeyed to the fair
grounds to watch the sport and view
the exhibits. The attendance was
nearly up to standard that day and it
is expected that an even larger crowd
viii be present Friday to enjoy this
annual occasion. Despite the rain,
which might have daunted many com
munities and dampened their spirit
50 that everything would be ruined.
the fair is going to be a success this
year. And everyone feels much bet
ter for having had the rain. for the
problem OF water was becoming so
serious in the upper valley and every.
thing was dry, dusty and unpleasant
besides.
