Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
and cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
*■ or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
), that it is not uncommon
if for a child to be born
^££1^ afflicted with weak kid-
neys. If the child urin
ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
c<y»trol the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bel-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should oe towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold

CHAPTER L
A TRYING SITUATION
I looked at the prisoner, and I was
vexed by doubt. With a battle on one side
of him and a woman on the other what
is a man to do? She returned my paze
with great, pure eyes, which seemed to
say I was a villain, a monster, yet 1
had been doing my exact duty, that of
a faithful soldier in the cause of the |
Continental congress and froedom, while
she, a woman, u girl, had presumed to !
turn from the things for which God
had intended her and to meddle with
war. 1 was more than vexed—I was an
gry, angry at her for attempting such a
task and angry at myself for being forced
into a situation so full of troubles
On the right, in the fringe of woods
a quarter of a mile away, the last rifle
shot had been fired, and its echo was
speeding across tho far hills The pow
der flashed no more, and tho smoko rose
in lazy coils over the ground on which
men had fought and some had died.
Tho victors, the captured detail with
them, were riding away. I almost fan
cied I could hear the beat of their
horses’ hoofs, and the dead, I knew, lay
with their faces upturned to tho sun,
waiting there until tho last trump called
to them to rise again. And here was I,
an atom, left in the drift of the armies,
cut off from my comrades and alone
with this girl.
The horses shifted about uneasily,
stamped their feet, and once mine raised
his bead and neighed, as if in truth he
heard tho beating hoofs of the galloping
detachment Ho know that his com
rades, too, were leaving him, thongh 1
cannot say that it was a desertion in
tended by either horse or man.
Tho girl’s look of reproach turned to
one of inquiry. She sat on a log, her
little riding whip hanging idly in her
hand. For the first time I took note of
her face—tho delicate but firm molding
of each feature; the clear depths of her
dark, blue eyes; the bronze gold of her
hair, clustering in tiny curls around her
forehead; tho rose red of her cheeks, like
a flush; her lithe, strong, yonng figure.
Why is it that when God wishes to
make women especially wicked and
troublesome ho makes them beautiful?
“Well, you rebel,” she said^ “when
do you purpose to set me free?”
“ When T ou give your word of honor
that you will tell Cornwallis nothing
about the strength of Morgan’s forces
and our present movemeuta ”
“That I will not da ”
"Then yon remain my prisoner.”
Yet 1 would have been a fool even to
have taken her word of honor What
woman has any regard for the truth In
military matters? If she could find a
chance, she would certainly give infor
mation that would bring Oornwallts, as
well as TaPieton, on Morgan.
“I think that it is enough for Eng
lishmen themselves to fight us without
sending their daughters also against us, ’
I said.
“My father did not send me, "she said
quickly. “I came of my own accord. ”
“So much tho worse,” 1 replied.
But nothing was to be gained by
standing there and talking Besides, it
is never well for a soldier to dispute
with his prisoner. It argues an insnifi-
cieucy for his position. A captor should
bear himself with dignity and reserve.
I would show my quality
1 untied the horses and led them to
the log on which she was sitting
“Get up!” I said curtly and in a tone
of command.
The natural rose flush of her cheeks
deepened a little.
“Yon speak as if you were my mas
ter, ” she said.
“That is just what I am—for the
present,” 1 replied. “Mount your horse
at once. ’’
She gave mo a sidewise look from eyes
that flashed, but she stood upon the log
“This log is too low, and tho saddle
is too high, ’’ sho said.
I stepped forward and held out my
hand to assist her.
“Don’t touch me, you rebel 1” she
cried and leaped lightly into the saddle.
I felt hart
“I wish yon wouldn’t call me •
rebel, ” I said.
“Why?’’
“It’s impolite.”
"But it’s trua ”
" Well, perhaps it is in a way, and in
a way. too, 1 am proud of it Are you
proud of vour king?”
“Yos.”
“It doesn’t take much to arouse Eng
lish pride.”
“You will think more of him when the
war is over. It will pay you to do so. ”
“Meanwhile we will wait until
then. ”
“What do you purpose to do with
mo—keep me a prisoner?”
“It is my misfortune. ’’
“The courtesy of a rebel. ”
“1 shall take you to General Mor
gan. ”
"Then Tarleton will rescue ma Your
Morgan cannot stand before him. ”
1 was afraid that she spoke the trnth.
We were outnumbered, and besides
more than half our force was raw mill
tia. The odds were great against ns,
and knowing it 1 did not reply to her
taunt
While we were talking she sat in the
saddle with the easy seat of a good
horsewoman, i held my horse loosely
by the bridle She was twiddling the
whip in her hands Suddenly she leaned
over and lashed my burse across the
eyes with her whip The blow was
given with all her might, and the
startled horse reared, jerked the bridle
ou’ ot rnv baud u.«l ran away
—.''UcfOUliY, Me. Rebel f” she shouted
and drawing her whip across her own
horse galloped off in the opposite direc
tion.
1 believe I swore. I was angry and
alarmed, too, for this girl, with her
messages and accurate news about us,
was a formidable enemy, escaped, and
might cause the destruction of the en
tire army of the south and the loss of
all the southern colonies. I drew a pis
tol, it being my idea to kill the horse,
but it was a shot that I could not risk.
1 thrust the pistol back in my pocket
and ran after my horse. He was 30 or
40 yards away, half mad with rage and
pain, his bridle swinging beside him.
I am a very good runner, but I do not
claim to be as swift as a horse. Never
theless I made speed as I ran after him,
and I whistled and shouted with a vigor
that must have convinced him of my
intentions I looked back once, and the
girl and the horse she rode were growing
smaller as they sped over the desolate
and unfenoed fields. My need of ahorse,
too, was growing more pressing. Mount
ed, there was hope; afoot, there was
none.
I whistled all the calls that a friend
ly and well treated horse should know
and meantime did not neglect to run
after him with tho best speed that I
could command. Presently he seemed to
understand and to remember that I was
not responsible for the blow. He slack
ened his pace, looked back over his
shoulder at me and whinnied. I whis
tled encouragingly, he whinnied again,
and, remembering who I was, his best
friend, came to a full stop, for he was a
most intelligent horse. In a half a min
ute 1 overtook him, leaped into the sad
dle and turned his head the other way
“Now, old horse,” I cried, “yon can
gallop, but you gallop my way. ”
I wore my spurs, and I gave him a
touch of the steel. That was enough,
for he was always ambitious and proud
of his speed, aud away we flew over the
fields after the disappearing girl She
was a full quarter of a mile away, and
her figure was growing dim on the hori
zon. Another quarter of a mile ami
she would bo in the woods, where the
concealment of the trees would enable
her to elude my pursuit. Moreover,
these English girls are often daring
horsewomen, ami even a 4 the distance I
could see that she rode like a trooper
But 1 knew tho country, and she did
not, and I hoped to secure from it some
chance that would enable me to over
take her
I eucourag«d my horse. I did more
than em-ourago—I appealed to his pride
aud his sense of gratitude. 1 reminded
him how I had ridden him all the way
from the Hudson when I came south
with Greene; how I had tended him and
cared for him and fed him, often when
I was compelled to go hungry myself.
I appealed to him now not to let that
girl escape when so much depended on
her capture, when I would be eternally
disgraced, and he with me, if we per
mitted ourselves to be tricked aud out
witted at such a time by one red cheeked
English girl
He was a sensible horse, and he nn
derstood. He said nothing, not even a
little snort, but bis stride lengthened,
and the swift and regalar beat of his
hoofs on the turf was music.
“Good horse. Old Put, good lad!” 1
said. I bad named him Put after Old
Put, the famons old Connecticut gen
eral, because be was so reliable and
steady He shook his ears slightly as a
sign that he would do his best for me,
having no time to say more, and he ran
a little faster I kept a sharp watch for
stones aud holes in the ground, having
no mind to risk a fall which might ruin
all, aud nursed my comrade’s strength,
for on land as well as sea a stern chase
is a long one.
The figure of the girl and the horse
she rode was growing larger, good proof
that 1 was gaining, which was not
enough, however, for I might continue
to gain, and yet she could elndo me in
tho woods unless I was close upon her
when she reached them. Her long hair
had fallen down and was streaming be
hind her like a ribbon of spray with the
sunshine on it, but 1 felt like giving
that yellow hair a jerk jnst then could
I have put ray hands npon it
“Steady, Put!” I said to my faithful
comrade. “Do you see that girl with
the yellow hair? Yes? Well, note the
horse that she is riding, a common troop
horse, clumsy, ill bred, no pedigree.
Are yon going to let yoarself be beaten
by him?”
His cars wagged violently, and he
ran a foot to th^ second faster. We
struck a piece of beautiful turf, evident
ly an old field left to itself nntil it could
recover its fertility, and with the soft
grass deadening and easing his footfalls
Old Put raced for Ufa I conld almost
count the yards that we gained, and
still she was not in the forest She had
not looked back nntil then, and it was
a hasty glance, followed by a quick
lashing of her mount. 1 judged that
she, too, had noticed the gain aud would
now be unmerciful to her horse. I was
exultant willing to boast of it and 1
shared my feelings with Old Put
“Notice that yellow haired girl again,
Put” I said. “When we catch her this
time, we will take care that she does
not serve ns such a trick again. If we
cannot trust an Englishman, Put bow
on earth can we put any faith in an
English woman?”
Put had received a slight slash once
trom the saber of an Englishman who
had offered to surrender to me aud then
tried to back out of it and ho knew
what 1 meant For the first time bo ut
tered. a slight snort, called one new
uni&lu Into play, aud wo stetfdify Bhjorj>
enod the distance between us and the
girl
Sho would have got into the wood a
few moments later, hut she abruptly
reined in her horse, turned him half
about and galloped oil to the left 1
guessed the trouble at once Tho heavy
rams often wash great gullies in our
South Carolina soil, and a kind provi
deuce, wishing to oblige me. had placed
one of these in her way It was equal to
a gain of 200 feet withont an effort, and
1 turned Old Put at once into the course'
she was taking
“Don’t you sea Put, * I said, “that
the Lord is ou our side and she aud
that burnt brown cob of hers that has
passed most ot his lite hitched to a sut
ler’s wagon will be delivered into our
hands?”
Old Put fairly neighed, his first real
expression of triumph. He was as sure
of the victory now as 1 was, and I had
confidence in tho judgment of my old
comrada
“Stop, stop!” 1 shouted to the girl
"If you don’t stop, I’ll shoot I”
I had a long barreled horse pistol,
which I had drawn and was flourishing
magnificently. I was within hearing
though not shooting range, and I trusted
that I would be able to frighten her into
yielding.
But she did not stop. She had worn
her whip into shreds, and thin red
streams of blogB zigzagged across tho
horse’s sides, but she pounded on with
tho stump. I felt a genuine pity for her
horse, hack though ho was, but none
for her.

No. 614 drew the piano and No. 586
was the lucky number for the gold
watch. The holders of these tickets
should bring them forward at once
and secure their prizes. Jonas Blan
ton, Luther G. Sarratt, Joe S. Ham
mett and Ed. H. DeCamp were the
committee that superintended the
drawing which took place in the
presence of a large crowd of interested
ticket holders.
The holders of the lucky numbers
are M. E. C. Jolly, for the piano, and
Miss Bessie Davidson for the gold
watch. Miss D-ividson is a regular
customer of Messrs. Lipscomb it
Bro., but it is doubtful if the piano,
which is valued at $250.00, cost Mr.

Mr. “Champ” Davis and Miss Liz
zie Scruggs were married Wednesday
afternoon at 3:60 at residence No.

been foreman of Mr. L. Baker’s force
of carpenters. He has been twice
married; his first wife was Miss

How to Cure the Urip.
Remain quietly at home and take
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy as di
rected and a quick recovery is sure
to follow. That remedy counteracts
any tendency of the grip to result in
pneumonia, which is really the only
serious danger. Among the tens of
thousands who have used it for the
grip not one case has ever been re
ported that did not recover. For
sale by Cherokee Drug Co.
John D. Rockefeller has agreed to
give Oberdin College $200,000 of a
$500,000 endowment fund, provided
the whole $300,000 is raised this year.
