CHAPTER XVI
Until Daylight

Lord George descended into the ra-
vine with extreme caution. He could
see the ground where his next foot
step was to be planted, but he could
see little more; and he could not be
sure that the next stone on which he
put his weight would not give way be-
meath him and send him crashing to
the unknown depths below. Moreover,
he was by nc means certain what he
would find If he reached the bottom
In safety.
The map had come into the posses
sion of the party mysteriously-as
mysteriously as the first map had
come. Might 1t not, like that first
map, be a forgery, deliberately de-
signed to lead astray, If not to betray
to ruin and death, those who trusted
it7 Certainly it seemed queer that 1t
should be necessary to descend into
such a pit in order to reach a road
that seemed to lead up the mountain.
Lord George suspected all things.
He believed that at any moment he
might have to fight for his life; and

Swamp Root e Fine Medicine

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss Of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irritable
and may be respondent; it makes any
one SO.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for . sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine will do for them.
By enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you may receive
sample size bottle by parcel post. You
