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 DIR. 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
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this Experimentation

A type OF glass-bottom ship that
will probably be used in regular ocean
going service, has been perfected by
sea-going pilot. In the bottom of this
new ship is heavy glass window
through which searchlight is thrown
on the bed of the ocean. BY calculat-
ing the angle of the searchlight rays
the depth of the ocean can be deter
mined and shoals thus avoided when
running through fog or shallow water.
The glass window is protected by a
valve, also. to avoid flooding should
the glass be broken.

Morgan Horses

The 3-year-old Morgan stallion, Nod
away, bred at Middlebury, VT, has
been sold to Senior Don Samuel Alva-
rez, Santa Ana, SGn Salvador. The
horse will be shipped in few days.
Senior Alvarez plans to establish the
breeding of type of light horse suit
able for use on the plantations Of his
country and has selected the Morgan
as the most desirable for breeding up
the native stock.
Many years ago the Department of
Agriculture undertook the preserva-
ton and improvement of the Morgan
breed, which, although a very useful
horse in the development of the coun-
try in earlier days, had been neg
lected. American-bred Morgans are
now in demand in all parts of the
world.

that De Witt planned to take Sheila

story of her parentage. Somewhere
De Witt was lying in hiding. Winton
spent very restless night in the hut

CHAPTER XIV
The Uprising.


1t was night. Wintor had performed
the last offices for the dead woman
The triple tragedy had been too stun
ming for any interchange of words
upon their future, but at last, there
being nothing more to do, Winton was
free to speak to Sheila about their
future.
He had already gathered that Sea-
ton had told her everything concern
ing the past.
II want you to come back with me
TO Malopo, Sheila." he said. Marry
mel will sell out and fake you to
my own country. Your life shall be-
gin anew-yours and mine.
She put her hands on his shoulders
do you still love me, Winton?" she
asked.
81 have not changed. Sheila."
ut is not because you think you
are bound?"
"Sheila. love you just as much
always"
''Then / will be your wife, Winton,"
she answered gravely, raising her
mouth to his.
He did not urge his love-it was no
time for that, and the past was too
wildly with them for love-making.
Some day, not very far ahead, Win
ton hoped that his dreams might come
true. For the present he was very
well content to know that Sheia was
his. and that nothing more could come
between them.
1t would be impossible to find the
way back to Malopo that night, and
already the rain-clouds hung black in
the sky. Winton was to occupy one
of the huts. and on the morrow they
would start for Malopo at dawn.
He was surprised that the village
was empty, and was about to question
Sheila when she spoke of 1t.
"They left two days ago." she said.
"All the warriors, with the women and
children. Winton, / am afraid 1t
means something serious. They do
not trust me any longer. They told
me nothing. / tried to get warning to
Malopo, but my Hottentot left me-"
"Sheila. must tell you something.

After he had settled her there, I'M
der Sans protection. be went back
into town and, calling at the police
station, informed the police chief Of
the tragedy.
To his surprise he found himself
the object of a severe cross examina-
ton. The presence of the vast herd
of springbok was, of course. known,
but the story appeared incredible.
winton had been seen riding out
with Judge Davis; the enmity Of the
two men was, of course, common
place of knowledge. The chief of po-
lice said that he would ride out the
next morning to investigate. and his
manner left little doubt that he sus-
pected Winton of having caused the
judges death.
With his reception, Winton's second
purpose, of giving warning concerning
the native unrest, went out of his
head. Malopo had indeed. been pre-
pared for an outbreak for some time
past, and rumors of all surts were
current; it was not probable that any
action would have been taken on the
story, which would, furthermore have
led to Sheila's examination. On the
whole, when he remembered his lapse.
Winton did not regret ii.
When he got back TO the claim. full
of fears for Sheila's safety. and found
her making tea for him in Burns's cot
tage, he forgot all his troubles
That was the happiest afternoon he
had ever spent. He left Sheila at
nightfall confident that all would be
we'll with them. An unreality hung
over the past, and 1t seemed only a
day since he had been with her in the
little house In the suburbs on the night
after his arrival In Malopo.
He slept-but suddenly he found
himself upon his feet, cropping for his
clothes. Fear hung heavily over him.

This sounds sensational. It is sem

something to which the wise man or
woman Will give serious thought.
OF course, it is not natural, or right.
1t is the direct result of an artificial
mode of life--of careless eating, Sleep
Iessness, and stimulated nerves. Nature
provides a danger signal-fatigue-to
warn when the body needs rest. The
person who regularly deadens the
fatigue signal by the use of a drug is
overriding the warning of nature.
That is what coffee does. The
average cup of coffee contains i y to

He saw the judge grasp at Seaton
Seaton screamed and tore himself
free. Then the flood of the spring
buck swept In between them and
drove them along, not ten PAGES apart,
but isolated and helpless in the living
stream.
Their horses moved automatically
carried on by the momentum of the
vast herd, which filled the valley be-
hind and had spread over the face of
the desert as far as could be seen.
The swirl through the neck of the
pass had all the force of those I'M
countable numbers behind it, 1t was
like water forced through hose pipe.
Iron gates could not have withstood 1t.

But there was no other exit. 1t was
nearing the edge Of the activity
Then, without any perceptlble check,
the foremost files of animals leaped
to destruction upon the rocks below.
For an instant Winton saw Davis and
Seaton at the verge of the precipice.
They disappeared.
And, file by file, the springbuck fol
lowed them, the tawny bodies plunging
into the void until the pressure was
checked as the main body of the herd,
by some communicated instinct,
sweryed into the main channel of the
pass.
AS the compact ranks Of the spring
buck scattered, Winton drove his
horse up the preciplce. At the edge
he dismounted, and, thrusting his
arms through the reins, he looked
over.
A vast brown stain upon the rocks
below was all that marked the grave
of Davis and his enemy. And over
head, winging their way through the
blue sky In solitary file, the vultures
dropped to their festival.
Sick with horror, Winton went back
to the village. He saw Sheila stand
ing beside the crouching woman at
the fire. He tethered his horse to a
tree and went up to her. She paid
no attention to him, but looked at
her mother fixedly.
The old woman was bent forward,
her body supported by the elbows upon
the knees She was quite motionless.
Winton took her hand; it was already
cold.

Find Sand Desert
In Alaska

Cantwell, Alaska, May l0.--Shift-
ing sands, having all the characters
tics of the great American desert
and providing menace to ineXperi-
enced travellers, have been discovered
in interior Alaska, according to pros
pcctors arriving from Valdez Creek
placer diggings.
This desert of Alaska is located be-
tween Valdez Greek and Myers road
house. on the Richardson highway.
L. S. Wickersham, a placer miner of
the Valdez Greek region, has de-
scrbed the barren area He said
access was gained in years past by
"mushing" 100 miles or more over
the snow. AS these trips were made
in winter, the heavy snow concealed
the nature of the country. Last
summer, however, prospectOrs went
further afield in their excursions
from Valdez Creek, and they encoun-
tered conditions that made them ip-
prchensive and wary. Where the old
