Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
Kow To Find Out.
Fill a bo’tle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty-four hours: a
, sediment or set-
J tling indicates an
■ unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
*—^ — (h e back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der are out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery

THE TEMJ'ER OF OLD TUT.
My fears foaud ample justification,
for the men soon turned their attention
to tlio horse, and two rose and approach
ed him. I looked upon him us one im-
pomided, and he alono was to blame,
for he should have known better. One
of the men made a wide circuit and
came up carefully behind, while the
other approached with equal caution
from the front, whistling in a soft and
coaxing way and holding out his hand.
Evidently the men appreciated the value
of a good horse, and no doubt they had
stolen enough from patriot farmers to
have experience. Old Rut never raised
his head to look at them, but continued
his hunt for blades of grass. He certain
ly heard their approacliing footsteps, and
I was convinced now that his dotage
was really at hand.
“I thought you said ho was the most
intelligent of us three, ” said the girl
ironically, “and here he is, gone to sleep
and letting himself be taken, to be used
perhaps as a common cart horse. ”
Her words were an insult to us both,
Old Put and me, but 1 knew no timely
reply, and I endured them in silence.
The man in front, emboldened by Old
Put’s gentleness, approached more rap
idly and was soon within 15 feet of the
horse. Old Put raised his head, and
looking at the inan a moment lowered
it and went on nipping the grass.
The man holding out his hand stepped
forward and seized Old Put by the neck.
The horse, with a neigh that was human
in its anger, turned and bit deep into his
shoulder. A scream, wilder, more fear
ful than any I have ever heard before or
since, rose from the man’s throat as the
horse reared high in the air and smote
him to the earth with his fore feet. The
girl turned her eyes away in horror as
the man was crushed to pulp beneath
the fierce beat of the steel shod hoofs,
time for but one cry being given to
him, but I kept mine at the crevice,
though I will confess that the blood
was rather a chilly torrent in my veins.
The other man, the one behind, faced
about and fled when bo saw the death
of his comrade, and the one look that 1

“Do you think they will attack us?’ 1
asked the girl
“Well, no; not yot, at least,” I re
plied “The advantages of the dt fen sc
are too great, and these men arc nc re
raiders and robbers. They arc n t : ing
into a dangerous venture imb tin

“You know I meant nothing of the

She spoke rather sharply, and h liv
ing the window went back to t o table,
which she began to clear awry. She
gathered up the scraps and ; utt'.i i

offer to help her, as she did ev i >: hit g
with such skill and dispatch, nn 1 I was
content to watch her. Nor did a > say
anything to mo, but, her w ni di no,
took her stool again and sat <1 w n at the
corner of tho hearthstone, b ening her
head against tho wall of the chimney
and gazing into tho dying lire
The last log was smoldi l ine on t®
heartli and threw but a feeble light I
blew out tho caudle, thinking we might
need it in case our enemies made any
hostile movement, and the darknt ss
gathered at once in half the room, only
a dim light showing as a fringe to tho
fire.
“1 think you’d better go to sleep,” I
said to the girl. “It is always well to
save one’s strength, and now is a chance
for rest. 1 ’
“And you?’’
“I don’t need any sleep. I’ll stay at
tho window and watch.”
“But you need rest as well as I. ”
“Why do you bother yourself abQut
a villainous rebel who is going to be
hanged anyway by bis justly angry
king?”
“I wish you would stop talking that
way.”
Her tone was rather plaintive. Un
doubtedly she was tired and worn by
anxieties, and I obeyed her request. I
made her wrap her cloak around her,
and, though sho declared stoutly that
site would not go to sleep, merely v. ish-
mc I would have slept t lie sleep of tha
ju*t i r tho tired unjust, which is often

1 dnw tho old pine box up to the
window and sat on it, resolved to listen,
now that 1 was tired of looking. I wou-

I opened my eyes, remembering
tl . !1 thing must be dark to a man
with i - eyiM shut, and saw again tho
ti.. iii: : lire and tho figure of tho girl
I alfj|^' lining in the chimney corner.
TlTi would never do. 1 was tho whole
iirmy—horse, foot, artillery and baggage
v. • ms, commander in chief, colonel,

o ' r to stir my sluggish blood into

cruel thing. I stopped in front of her
and luck'd at her face attentively.
A ! ■ j sho did not look at all tho spit-

I . v now was a certain wanness, a
: tiling that was pathetic, a look
that appealed to a man for protection

f iil. and why should I caro for tho bit-
t- thin: i she said when probably half

l iking its comfort. The part which had
sin triad itself on tho ground remained
b! fetched, and the part which watched
sagged more than ever toward the hori-
zoLial. it was a lazy army, that was
evident, and I resolved that I would set
it an cuamplo of sunerioritv
Having made these bravo resolutions,
I :-;it down on tho stool and leaned my

that I might reserve my strength for a
crisis, (ho most necessary tiling in the
world for a soldier, every man of ex-
perience knowing that an army fights
better if it goes into battle well fed,
well clothed and well rested. It was a
good argument, that bore extension, and
1 closed my eyes that they, too, might
have rest, for they felt weary and clog-

weariness and sleep took charge of me.
Tired muscles r so in open and defiant

triumphed over mind, and in five min

row. Tho horse, raising his head, trot
ted away over tho hill. Tho moonlight
fell upon him there in distorted rays
and enlarged him into a gigantic ligurc
In tho gray light lie looked liko some
phantom horse, a wild creature that
brought death.
The band, recovering from tho mo
mentary paralysis caused by the sudden
acquaintance of their comrade with
death, suatohed out their pistols and
fired at the liorso as they would have
fin d at a man in his place, but their
aim was wild, -for tho horse gave no
sign of a bullet, trotting steadily on,
his figure growing larger and more
threatening m tho exaggerating rays of
the moonlight, until ho disappeared be
yond tho swell of the earth. The thing
that had been living lay in the dead
grass, and 1 was glad that it was bid
den almost by yin rocks and the roll
of the earth.
“He is gone, Julia,” I said, “and 1
don’t think those men will try to taka
my horse again. ”
1 laughed a little, with a rather forced
gayety, for the infiuouco of the sudden
tragedy was still upon mo. Yet I was
glad that Old Rut had redeemed him
self so conclusively from the charge of
incuution and dotage, which I would
never again bring against him, even
should they come to be true in the
course of the years.
The girl cuuiqbuck to the crevice, and

[fl«tols they returned to the lire, making
no mqvcmcnt either to pursue Old Rut
or to remove tiie body of their dead

My sleep grew troubled at lust sad
then turned into a nightmare. Some
jugw wild beast, after the fashion of
beasts in nightmares,.was sitting on my
chest and blowing his bruath in my
I’ace, while I had no power to move h
muscle. I was cold to the marrow and
waited for irm to devour me, but in
stead he dwindled away and became
misty. With one great effort I threw
him off my chest and sprang to my feet.
My head struck against somebody else’s
lead as I sprang up, and that somebody
else swore an oath that had the savor
neither of a nightmare nor a dream, but
of reality.
Cold air ai d moonlight rushed in at
tho window, but most of the passage
was filled up by the shoulders and head
of a large man whose face I could not
see owing to tho imperfect light. Ho
held in his band a pistol which he fired
at me, but now the imperfect light was
to my advantage and not his, for his
bullet, avoiding me, buried itself with
a chuck in tho log walls, and the re
port confined in tho small room roared
like a cannon shot.
Moved more by impulse and instinct
than by thought, I snatched out my
own pistol and fired at the head in the
window. The man uttered a deep sigh;
the body dropped forward and swayed
there; I heard tho light drip, drip of
something on tho floor, and then the
body fell inside tho room.
Tho girl, suddenly awakened by tho
terrible sounds and half in amazo, cried
out in fright and then began to ask in
a high, trembling voice what hail hap
pened.
“Tho British have attacked us, ”1
said. “One of them was in the shadow,
and I threw him back. Standout of the
range of the window.” I did not want
her to see the thing lying on the floor
under the window, and I shoved the ta
Lie in front of it.
She obeyed, for I spoke the last sen
tence very sharply. Tho window was
wide open, and expecting to see another
face there 1 held my second pistol
ready, but none appeared, and I had
no doubt that they feared Crowder was
dead.
Taking tho risk, I reached out an
arm, seized tho shutter and slammed it
shut, securing it as best I could with
the leather strap and nail used as a
fastening. Then, with my ear near the
crevice, I listened, but could not hear
our enemies. I feared at first to look out
lest I should receive a bullet, but still
hearing nothing 1 applied my eye and
saw that the men had gone back to
their fire. They were all there—four. I
counted them and knew that none was
jjiissing. They were deliberating evi
dently over the full of their leader and
what next to do, and 1 took an immedi
ate resolution.
“Light the candle,”! said to tho
girl. “Hold it to the fire. There’s
enough boat left to start the wick to
burning. ”
Sho did so. and saw that something
lay behind tho table.
“What is that?” she cried.
“The dancer and singer of last night, ”
I replied, seeing that 1 would have to
tell. “The leader of those desperadoes
outside came into our fort, but ho came
into his grave.”
Sho retreated, shuddering, to tho
farthest corner of the room.
“Now, you do exactly as I say,” 1
continued. ‘* Remember that you are the
rank and file of this army, and 1 am its
commander. ”
“1 will obey you,” sho said.
I quickly reloaded my pistol.
Then 1 shoved tho table away again
and, overcoming my repulsion, dragged
tho dead body to a sitting position. A
chill struck into my marrow, but I
dragged off tho red British coat and, hav
ing thrown off my own, put it ou. Then
I gathered up tho wallet of food and Old
Put’s bridle and took down tho bar from
tho door.
“Como,” 1 said; “we are going to
leave this place while they are planning
by tho fire and their backs are turned to
us. ”
It was a bold measure, involving
many risks, but I believed that it would
succeed if wo kept our oouruge and
presence of mind. For at least two or
three minutes they would think I was
Crowder, victorious, and that would be
worth much. When I had taken down
the bar, I stopped a moment.
“Keep by my side, ”1 said. “Re
member that wo must become separated
by do chance. Here, take this pistol I
You can shoot, can’t you?”
She said 4 'Yes” and took tho pistol.
Then I opened tho door, and we dnsneo
out, running with quick and noiseless
steps across the open toward the wood,
which rose in a dim lino ahead of us.
While the window opened toward tho
campfire of the besiegers tho door did
not, and wo had gone perhaps 50 yards
before they saw us. Tin's I know by the
surprised shout that came to us, and
looking back 1 saw them hesitating, as
if in doubt about my id'mity, and at
lust running toward theii horses I was
glad that they would pursue on horse
back, and I had taken ihat probability
into eonsidi ration when we mudo our
dash from tho house, for even at the
distance 1 could see that the dim wood
looked dense and a poor place for the
use of horses.
“Courage, Julia!” I said, taking her
hand “In a minute or two wo will be
into the woods, and they mean safety ’
i looked hack a second time Tim
guerrillas hud reached their horses,
mounted them and turned their heads
our way, but in doing it tin ii tunc lost
was our gain Unless lamed by some
unlucky pistol shot wo would surely
gain the wood. They fired oner or twice,
and 1 hoard the thunder of their horses
hoofs, but 1 had little fear 1 still held
the girl’s hand in mine, and she ma lfl
no effort to draw it aw ay. Hire was run
ning w ith a firm, sure’ step, and, though
her face was white and her eye ex. ited,
she seemed to retain both her courage
and presence of mind
The wood was not as far as I laid cal
culated, and when our pursuer.-; wi re
many yards away we dashed into it at
sueli headlong haste that I tripped over
a vine and fell upon my noi-e, burying
it in a pile of soft haves, whh h s.iv> d
it from harm. But I was up again, re
joicing at the accident, for in a word
interlaced with vines horses could make
no progress.
“I hope you are not hurt?” asked
Julia anxiously.
“Hurt? Not a bit of it!’’ I replied.
“What a blessing these woods are! )hw
dark it is in here, and what a blessing
that is too!”
In fact, the wood was our good luck
and our best luck at that, for even we
on foot found it difficult to make our
way through it. Afar we could hoar the
British cursing in profusion and variety
as they strove to force their horses
through the dense bush.
“Hold my hand,“I said to Julia,
“for otherwise I might lose you in ail
this darkness and density.”
But instead of waiting for her to take
my hand, which she might not have
done, I took hers, and, bidding her again
to stop lightly, I led the way, curviiig
among the trees and bushes like a brook
winding around the hills in search ot a
level channel. My object was to leave
our pursuers at a loss concerning our
course, and wo soon ceased to hear their
swearing ortho struggles of their hors< s
I dropped into a walk, ami of course tho
girl did likewise.
“I think we are safe now, “I said
“There is not one chance in a hnutlri d
to bring them across our path again.
What a fine wood! What a glorious
wood I There is no such wood as this in
England. It grew hero especially h r
our safety, Julia. ”
“It did grow up in time, ” sho re
plied, “but now that you think us safe
again you can call me Miss Howard and
not Julia. ”
“That’s true, and now that we are
safe again I must ask you, Miss How
ard, as an especial favor to me, to plea e
quit holding my hand."
“I am not holding your band, Mr
Marcel!” she replied indignantly. “It
is you who are holding mine, but yi.u
shall not do so a moment longer.”
Blio tried to jerk her hand away. 1
let her jerk three or four times, am!
then I added as an afterthought:
“It is very dark here, and there is still
danger that we might become separat
ed. I think 1 will let you hold it lit
tle longer, but 1 shall endure it merely
because it is a military ueccs-sity, ”
She gave her hand a most violent jerk,
and it nearly slipped from me, but I re
newed my grip in time.
“Simply a military necessity,” I re
peated, and, seeing that it was useh ss,
sho made no further effort to withdraw
her hand. 1 could not see her lace, tho
darkness being too great, and therefore
had little opportunity to judgo of her
state of mind. Wo walked on in silence,
winding hero and there through the
wood, with an occasional stop to lis
ten, though wo heard nothing but tho
common noises of a forest—the crackling
rustle of dry leaves and twigs, the gen-
flo swaying' of aomebld tree its tho wind
rocked it and tho soft swish of the
bushes as they swung back into place
