What was a vanished witch?-a
fled nightmare, cobweb of the
soul! Here was the tide of life
running like sparkling river, with
hero to be acclaimed riding down
the current of it. The gazers
melted from the arched doorway
of the horse-yard. Even the wo-
man who had fainted-drawn to
her feet now by friends-turned
her head feebly in the direction of
the street, her velvet dress one
long smear of dirt. DE-.
Beneath the hams and the gar
lands of onions in the twilight that
smelt Of cabbage water and of
burnt fat and sugar, Sidonia stood
stiffly, breathing with the rhythm
of a deep sleeper, her arms hang
ing at her sides. How close was
reality about herr She had feel
ing Of the nearness of fire-ban-
ners of flame that beat upward
and dark figures moving swiftly
against the fierce scarlet. Was it
a memory-a memory from last
night?
Crying trumpets-the muffled
sound of them came to her like far
off voices dropping from height.
She would climb that height;
she would see over The heads of
the people-the shadowy, strength
less people who had thought to
hurt her. Half in the real and
half in the unreal world, she
moved toward a staircase that
turned upon itself, its stone steps
vanishing INTO partial darkneSS.
II was no effort to her to mount
it. At moments the stone walls
closed in on her; at other moments
they receded. If the servants
had not run out into the street
sightseeing it is hard to say what
they would have made of Sidonia,
but the bewilderment would have
been all on their side-she herself
was either above or below the or
binary considerations of five-sense
life.
The staircase ended in a door
way masked by tapestry. Voices
were audible; this was evidently

loggy. When your kidneys get slug
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels, remov-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full
of sediment, channels often get sore,
water scalds and you are obliged TO
seek relief two or three times dur
ing the night.
Either consult a good reliable
physician at once or get from your
pharmacist about four ounces Of Jad
Salts; take a tablespoonful in aglass
of water before breakfast for few
days and your kidneys may then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also TO
neutrslize acids in the system, so
they no longer irrltate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.

vescent Whitewater drink. Drink

Inc yard was empty save IOr
some hens and a cock with a silver
hackle. Horse stalls opened upon
it and one heavy door that stood
ajar. Sidonia went across to this
door like a sleep-walker, and
pushed it inward, and entered the
house to which it gave access. She
had no hesitation or any anxiety
she was lifted above self-conscious-
ness.
Behind, in the lane, twenty peo-
pie were taking at once, and sew
eral boys had already approached
the threshold of the archway, nos
ing about like eager yet timid dogs
on a blood-scent.
"Come back! Come back this
minutev' screamed the mother of
one of them. "Do you want to
feel the claws of Satan?"
The silver-hackled cock, AFRO
CANT in the deserted little yard,
clapped his wings against his sides
and uttered hoarse crow. Those
who were nearest retreated with
the jumpy haste of panic, and so
overweight were all nerves by
ghostly fears that one woman,
, turning green-white, tainted,
slumping down into the muck like
a dropped sack of rags.
Meanwhile Sidonia, automati-
cally pushing the iron-bound door
to behind her, went a few steps
forward into the twilight of rich
mans deserted kitchen, and
paused. Onions and smoked hams
hung from the ceiling beams.
There were scattered vegetable
parings, unsecured pots, an idle
spit and drippings of blood and of
melted fat. But they were unreal.
They might vanish at any moment,
revealing-what? Sidonia knew,
yet did not know.
The Unseen brushed lightly
against her, yet her eyes were held.
She tingled, hardly aware of her
limbs. She was numb, feather
light; expectant, injurious, con-
cerned more with the emotional
thoughts that swan like clouds into
the sphere of her mind, than with
anything else. Onions, hams, cook
ing pots-they had no real ex-
istence. At any moment they
might break like the rondure of a
bubble, in which all manner of
objects are reflected for a long
instant.
At the threshold of the archway
one hardy spirit craned his neck
forward, verifying the emptiness
of the homely horse-yard.
"She's not there" he announced
hoarsely.
Immediately he was joined by
others. They viewed the hens, the
cock, the stable litter and the shut
door. Evidently the witch
girl had transported herself else
where, slipping through the fingers
of christenedf men like water
through sieve, The house
itself stood outside their specula-
ton. 1t pertained to pious and
wealthy folk-even devils must
respect such a combination.

Decatur Unions Joins
Chamber of Commerce

DECATUR, Ill.-The Trade Union
Educational League has continually
pointed out the dangers of the class
collaboration movement within the A
F. of L. Unless checked by the mill
tant left wing, the trade union move
ment in America if led by the forces
or reaction, will drift into the most
hopeless bankruptcy and the Ameri
can working class will be the suffer
ers.
A typical example of the direction
in which we are headed was given by
the Central Labor Body of Decatur,
Ill. early in January, at a meeting
where this body went on record to at
filiate with the local chamber Of com.
merce.
Two years ago Decatur, Ill. was the
scene of the most reactionary con.
vention that the Illinois State Fedora.
ton of Labor ever held. At this con.
vention William 2. Foster and the
constructive policies such as amalga.
nation of the trade unions, etc., ad.
vanced by the T. U. E. L., were con,
finally under fire.
This attack was Joined in by the re-.
dictionaries and fake progressives
alike, and the convention itself really
accomplished nothing constructive
The only hope Of the convention was
the leftwingers who refused to be
stampeded by the barrage OF reaction
and stuck to a man until the end, vot
ing for all the constructive policies OF
the T. u. E. L. Now comes the De
catur Central Labor body, following in
the footsteps Of the Decatur conven.
ton, and votes to affiliate with the
chamber of commercel
Another example of the antics OF
the local labor takers is given by
Johnny Clark, a member OF the U. NJ.
w. of A., Local Isl, also a representa-.
tive OF the 2sth district in the state
legislature.
On two different occasions recently,
when the bill for a state constabulary
in Illinois came up in the house OF
representatives, Johnny Clark was
conspicuous by his absense. He is
now advocating bill which is spon-
sored by the local chamber OF COM
merce, which would give the city OF
Decatur a new building for state
armory.
Unless the rank and file Of the Am.
erican labor movement follow the lead
of the militants and organize to fight
these suicidal policies, what recently
happened in Decatur will happen in
every city of the U. S. A., where there
is any semblance Of labor move.

Fifty-one miners lives are snuffed

A Kentucky cave explorer holds the
attention of the capitalist press for
three weeks. 1t is good copy, first

blow them to pieces than to install

100000 too many" miners, accord
ing to John L. Lewis, Frank Earring
ton and the coal operators, and, of
course, this makes 81 less.
The condition of that Indiana death
trap exists in almost every mining
center, and the wonder is that there
are not more of these terrible dis
asters. A resolution demanding that
safety appliances be installed, was
turned down in District 10 conven-
ton, because the Jacksonville agree
ment says that no changes can be
made without the consent of the op-
orator.
