althy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
AUlheiJood in your body panel through
| your kidneys once every three minutes.
The kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrheu-
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
keart beats, and makes one feel as though
'they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
h"inow modern science proves that nearly
y&Jconstitutional diseases have their begin-
t^Pg in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits
by all druggists in fifty-
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have a

CHAPTER III.
THE MKHIT OK A GOOD HORRR.
I paused, not to swear this time, but
for a momentary reflection on the vani
ty ot man and the deceitful no«8 of wom
an in taking advantage of it, and then 1
sprang upon the back of that old brown
hack—confound him for an army mule
without the earsl—and gave chase. I
had no switch or whip, but I roweled
him and kicked him in the sides until I
frightened him into a greater speed than
ho or any one else believed to dwell
within his long frame. Ho gave a wild
snort, and we plunged after the fleet
girl, rocking and swaying like a boat in
a stormy sea, bat even with such exer
tion lie could not compare with Old Put.
Despite the anxiety of the moment, I
noted ids inferiority with some pride,
but then 1 remembered how mhch de
pended upon the success of the pursuit,
and I continued to urge on my own
mount.
Strive and strain as we could and
ride and thump as 1 would with all my
arms and legs, xvo lost ground rapidly.
The girl turned her head once to look
at me, and 1 thought I saw a look of
triumph on her fare, but l suppose it
was my imagination which was indus
triously tormenting me just then. I
groaned at the certainty of her escape,
and then hope seized mo, for I remem
bered suddenly that I, "oo, had a trick
to play. Old Put and I possessed a com
mon language in which we often talked,
with perfect understanding. I put two
fingers to my lips and blew between
them a long, shrill whistle, which cut
the air and traveled like the scream of
a life. It was a request, a command
even, to him to stop and wait for me.
He twisted his long neck in the manner
of one listening, looking back at mo to
see what I meant, but ho went on,
though with slightly diminished speed,
his manner indicating that he was un
certain what I had said.
The girl was belaboring him with
the switch, for she must have noticed
his decreasing gait. I whistled again,
and ns Old Put’s jmee sank to a trot
she beat him fiercely with the switch.
A third whistle, and Old Put, now in
perfect accord with me, stopped stock
still; not only that, but he faced about
and neighed joyously. The girl threw
the remains of her switch upon the
ground and began to cry, not pitifully,
but angrily, fiercely. I rode up slowly
and held out my hand to Old Put, who
rubbed his nose against it. He knew
bis master and best friend. Never had
I beaten him, and now there were
stripes and welts on his side where she
had pounded him with a swdtch, or
rather stick.
“Why did yon not tell me what sort
of a horse he was,’’she cried, “and
then I would not have made myself
look so ridiculous, sittiug here as if I
had been tied and waiting for you to
come up?”
“Miss Howard, ” said I in some as
tonishment, “do you expect me to show
you the way to escape?”
“I do not expect anything from you,
a rebel, ” slio said. “Do not speak to
mo again. ”
All right; that suited mo. 1 did not
wish to talk to her. She used words
only to inveigle me into some incau
tious mood. But it was necessary for me
to tell her to dismount in order that I
might change saddles again, as 1 did
not intend to give her another such op
portunity. I did not offer to assist her,
having had enough of that, but stood
beside the brown back, watching her
with a look that was now strictly mili
tary.
“Why don’t you help mo down?” she
said angrily. “Have yon no courtesy
for a lady?”
“You have declined such assistance
from a rebel before, ’ ’ I said in reply to
her unexpected question.
“And I decline tigain. Yon needn’t
offer it,” she said abruptly, springing to
the ground, when 1 had no thought of
offering it.
As soon as she was off his back Old
Put showed the greatest distrust of her
and aversion. Ho shied as far away
from her as my hold on his bridle would
let him, and his big, dark eyes shone
with wrath. I was glad that ho had
come back to his senses, and bo, like I,
should have known her thoroughly from
the first and always.
“We don’t intend to be deceived by
her again, do wo, old comrade?” said I
to him.
He nodded his head in emphatic fash
ion, and his big eye winked intelligent
ly. Her eyes flashed a little, but she too*
no other notice.
“Look well at this lady, Put,” I
said. “ Do you note her?”
He nodded.
“She’s English, we’re Americans,
and therefore she’s an enemy and not to
be trusted. Watch her well,” I con
tinued.
lie nodded violently.
“Now, Miss Howard,” I said severe
ly, “I’ve changed those saddles, and
they are ready for our use when wo
need them, but meanwhile wo’ll walk
again, as we’ve tired our horses out for
the second time, and all your fault too. ”
She said nothing, but walked on in
the way which I.had indicated, keeping
eight or ten feet from me. She had
ceased to cry and had given her features
a fixed and angry set.
I was troubled greatly. Wo had
wasted so much time over her futile
efforts to escape that the problem of a
night’s shelter had grown more diffi
cult and pressing, and 1 intended that
my attention should not bo diverted
from it again. Therefore I would take
precautions. I drew from my pocket a
long silk handkerchief, a trophy of the
Monmouth campaign, which I had pre
served with great care.
“Hold out your hands,” I said.
“What would you do?” she asked,
turning upon mo a look of fire.
But I was firm. My experience had
been too great.
"Holdout your hands,” I repeated.
“I intend to bind them together. You
play too many tricks ”
“You are not a gentleman.”
“You have told me that three or four
times already. It won’t bear further
repetition. ”
“I will not submit to such a thing.
“Then I will have to use force, which
will make it much more unpleasant for
you. ”
I hated to do what I had planned. It
was rude and severe, but thou there are
few who have linn women prisoners
like mine, and consequently there are
few who are in a position to judge me.
I prefer greatly to deal with the regular
forces, but in this case 1 had no choice,
and so I strengthened my will and pro
ceeded
“Hold out your wrists,” I repeated.
’1 shall not hurt you. I merely wish to
keep you out of further mischief. ”
”1 shall never forgive you, ” sho said.
1 could afford to laugh at such a
threat
“1 trust that nobody will forgive me
until I ask for forgiveness,” I said.
She looked at mo, her eyes full of re
bellion. I thought sho was going to
raise her hand to strike mo, but women
are so changeable and uncertain. In
stead she held out her hand* meekly.
I hound her wrists together and uo-|
ticed that they were white and well
molded The handkerchief was soft and
could not pain her at all, and, besides,
her hands were bound in front of her
and not behind her. Sho need feel no
inconvenience, hut sho must realize that
her opportunities for mischief were di
minished vastly. Old Put looked at her
with an air of triumph, as much as to
say, “Now, miss, you are being pun
ished, and punished deservedly, for beat
ing me so much. ” That seemed to bo
her own understanding of herself.
Wo resumed our march, the horses
walking behind us. The rim of the sun
was now meeting the rim of tho earth,
and the western skies were tinged with
ruddy fire. In the east the misty gray
of twilight was descending on field and
forest, and tho chill of night was creep
ing over everything. Even in our South
Carolina latitudes the nights are cold in
midwinter, and I shivered as a twilight
wind, with a raw edge to it, swept over
tho plain.
There M as a heavy cloak hanging at
her saddle horn, for sho had not ven
tured upon her journey unprepared. I
took it off and threw it over her shoul
ders. It fell below her waist like a great
coat, and I buttoned it securely around
her neck
“You are a barbarian, ” she said.
“I know it, ” I replied, “but I do not
intend to let you suffer more than is
necessary for your own good. That is
the kind of barbarians we are in this
country. ”
The country* was lone and desolate,
for we were on the sterile slopes of the
hills. It was thinly peopled at the best
of times, but now, raided incessantly by
Tarloton’s legion, which knew no mercy
to anything, whether animate or inani
mate, and plundered, too, by wild bauds
which claimed to belong to either army,
as tho occasion served, and perhaps be
longed to neither, tho people had fled to
securer regions, where one side or tho
other was master. Only those who have
seen it know the sufferings of a country
harried by opposing armies and preda
tory bands. I had hoped to find some
friendly farmer bolder than the rest with
whom my prisoner and I could find
shelter, or if not that, at least some
abandoned house which would give us
a roof, but I saw no sign of a human
face except our own, and no roof appear
ed either in tho fields or among th«
trees. It was a solitude bleak and cold,
and the declining sun, now half way
behind tho earth, warned me that it
would soon be time to stop, for the
darkness would bo upon ns, and in a
land of hills, gullies and no roads we
could not travel well without light.
Despairing of such shelter as I had
expected, I turned our course toward a
thick grove of trees rising like a great
castle on tho left. When wo entered it,
the shadows already made darkness
there,” and the night wind moaned
among the dry branches of tho trees. I
saw tho girl shiver, and again I felt
pity for her in spite of all that sho tried
to do, though I lost uono of my distrust
and caution.
Almost in the center of the f rove was
a small open space, sheltered from the
rush of cold air by the great trees which
grew so thickly around it It seemed to
• me to be the likeliest spot wo could find
for a camp. I hitched the horses to
boughs of tho trees and took from my
pocket a small flask of that cheer which
a good soldier seldom neglects. I drew
tho stopper and handed it to the girl.
“Take a little of this,” I said. “You
must if you do not expect to catch your
death of cold. ”
“I would if I could,” she said, “but
I cannot while my hands are tied! ”
“I had forgotten tho handkerchief,*’
l replied, “but 1 don’t think we’ll need
it any longer. You have been warned
sufficiently. ”
I unbound her wrists and replaced the
handkerchief in my pocket.
“But don’t forget,” I said, “that this
handkerchief is an evidence that I have
put my mark upon you and that you be
long to me—that is, you are my prisoner
until such time os I choose to give you
up. ”
Her face flushed.
“I will not endure such talk,” she
said, “from a rebel who within six
months may be hanged by his outraged
king for treason. ’’
"You can’t escape it,” 1 said, “and
the king can’t hang me before ho
catches mo. It’s a long way from Lon
don to South Carolina, and I hear the
king is fat and lazy and suffers from
seasickness. ”
But sho drank the whisky, just a lit
tle of it, though enough to put more
sparkle in her eye, and handed the flask
to mo without a word of thanks. Then
sho sat down on a fallen tree and looked
idly in front of her as if sho had no in
terest whatever in anything.
I gathered up armfuls of the dry
brushwood and tossed them into a heap,
to which 1 set tire with tho flint and
steel I always carried. The fire blazed
np rapidly and snapped as it bit through
tho wood. Its merry crackling drowned
the desolate moan of the wind, and the
long red ribbons of fiame and tho fast
forming bed of live coals threw out a
kindly heat that fended off the chill of
tho night Even the girl, angry and hu
miliated us she seemed to be, felt the
influence of the light aud warmth and
edged along the log until sho was much
closer and the fire could shine directly
upon her face. Old Put was frank in
his appreciation, coming to the full
length of his tether and wagging his
head in a manner which said to me as
plain as day, “You have done well ”
Even the stupid brown back understood
and imitated Old Put’s example.
Higher rose tho fire aud drove back
the shadows, but the darkness was now
rolling up to tho circle of light, and
beyond the sparkle of the flames began
to rise like a wall The sun was gone,
and a faint, fading pink tint in tho
west marked the way his flight had
taken him. Over all tho world the twi
light drooped, and the winter wind
mourned .the dead day.
” Are there ghosts tn tfia forest?” sud
denly uskid the girl
"None that 1 ever heard ot,’’ I said.
‘It is so unlike England.”
’How?”
“So much wilder ”
I had heard ot their forests there, or
rather what they call forests—some acres
of trios, with tho undergrowth cut
away and tho lawns shaven, every rod
patrolled by keepers or workmen, a mere
plaything of a forest- but hero in
America are the real forests, just as
nature made them, tho desolat j wilder
ness through which the wild animals
howl, while tho lone wind plays its
song on the branches or leaves of the
trees This is tho real forest, a place in
which man becomes about as big us a
cork ou the sea. Never the lone hunter,
though 50 years his home, fails to feel
its immensity and desolation. Tho girl
drew the edges of her cloak a little
more tighuy and moved as close to the
tiro as the end of the log would allow
her
“If you will permit me,” 1 said. *1
will give you a better seat by the fire
than that ”
She rose without a word, and 1 rolled
the log well within the warmth of the
blaze. She resumed her seat, aud the
firelight flickered and played over her
face, tinting her cheeks with deep red
and spangling her bronze gold hair
with patches ot scarlet and crimson.
Tho little red cap had been pulled se
curely down on her head, and, sitting
there in the alternate light and dark
ness, her figure lithe aud strong, she
looked like some Saxon wood nymph.
But I did not ceasn my good deeds. 1
call myself a forethoughtful trooper,
and from the saddlebags I carried across
my saddle bow I took a cold chicken, a
piece of cold boiled ham and some hard
biscuits, a dinner fit for a prince, or
rather an honest American citizen,
which was better, in these bard times
of war. To this royal collection I added
a canteen well filled with water, re
membered the stout little flask in my
breast pocket, and the repast was com
plete, all but tho serving
Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the
good things. Wood nymphs, Saxon or
other, must eat.
“Let me carve the chicken, ” she said.
“You have neither a table, plates nor
a knife, ” I said.
“This log will serve as a table, some
of those clean dry leaves as plates, and
you could lend me a knife. ”
“How could I lend you a knife, a
weapon, after all the tricks you have
tried to play upon me? You don’t forget
this, do you?”
I took tho little toy pistol with
which sho had tried to shoot me out of
my pocket and held it up before her,
but she laughed. Women don’t seem to
have any conscience, or at least they
forget their crimes, which is convenient
for their peace of mind.
“Give me the knife,” sho said, “and
don’t waste time I’m hungry. ”
I distrusted her as much as ever, even
more, but I opened tho blade of my
clasp knife and handed it to her.
“A very good knife,” she said, “but
I have no doubt it was stolen from an
Englishman. Ah, here it is—the name
of an English maker on tho blade 1”
“It was not stolen!” I exclaimed in
dignantly. “I took it from him fairly
at tho buttle of Mon mouth, where ho
fell into my hands. "
“That, I suppose, is a good enough
title for a rebel, ” sho said aud began
to carve tho chicken.
It was a fine, fat chicken, beautifully
roasted, aud she showed that she knew
how to carve, for she deftly clipped off a
leg, which sho held up before me.
“That looks fat and good to eat, ” she
said, “aud it’s a fine chicken, but I’ve
no doubt it was stolen from a loyal sub
ject of King George. ”
“H’s not truel” I exclaimed in some
wrath. “He was a Tory farmer, I admit,
but I did not steal tho chicken. I took
it before his eyes, and ho never said a
word. ”
"Afraid, I suppose, but it doesn’t
make any difference to you. It will
taste just as good to a rebel. Here, take
your piece ou this big, clean leaf and
eat.”
I took the piece and ate. Sho carved
off a portion for herself, too, and ate
with a good appetite. Then I handed
her the canteen of water aafttold her to
take a drink.
“Don’t be afraid, ” I said. “I took
that water out of a clear brook in the
wilderness, and the land through which
it flowed belonged to God, not to any
Englishman or Tory. ”
“But how about the canteen?” she
asked. “Did you steal that from any
English soldier or take it by violence,
which is worse?”
I showed her the name of the utaker.
a Boston man, upon it
“A vile rebel town, the worst of them
all, ” she said.
But she look a good drink out of it
and when she handed it back to me 1
imitated her example. Then, while tho
fire crackled and blazed higher aud the
circle of light widened and the darkness
beyond it thickened, wo ate and drank,
and 1 grew cheerful. I had defeated all
her attempts, and tomorrow I would
find Morgan and give her into other
hands and be rid of all my troubles, yet
I was compelled to admit ouce again
that she was very beautiful with tho
fireiigl i flickering and playing over her
face and hair, but all the world knows,
as I have said, that the handsome wom
en are the most dangerous, the most
cuuuing, and I was on my guard against
any new attempt of hers to escape.
Still, when I looked around at the
blackness of tho night and heard the
sigh of the cold wind above tho crac
kling of the fire, 1 did not think that sho
would dare to attempt it. 1 knew no
woman who would venture alone on a
winter night into that uncanny wilder
ness, aud, knowing it, I felt easy
