Dr. Kiimer’s Swamp-Root is not rec- ommended for everything butif you have kidney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested in so many ways, in hospital work and in private practice, and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which all readers of this paper, who have not already tried it, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, alsoa book tell- ing more about Swamp-Root, and how to’ find out if you have kidney or bladder trou- ble.

Last Christmas I visited friends bask at the old home on the farm. When the supper dishes had been put away, tho chores done and the evening famp lighted we gathered beside the ergan for a good old fashioned ‘sing.’ On the center table were strewn the Christmas remembrances taken from Christmas tree on the evening before. Glancing over them I suddenly ex- claimed ‘Hello! my good friend, Hello!’ and as the others looked up with surprise, I picked up a copy of ‘Heart Throbs’ and read to them from its pages the ‘piece’ I spoke in achoo] 40 years ago. “That was enough to set in motion the friendly entertaining spirit of Weart Throbs, and the music was for- gotten as we took turns reading the humorous and pathetic bits of prose and verse that have been preserved tm this wonderful volume. Some books have great literary value, some have historical significance, but Heart Throbs is the only book I know that slaps you on the back in a friendly sort of way, suiting itself to your moods and proving faithful to every emotion. Next to my love of the Bible I leve Heart Throbs. It is the most wotable book of the times.” HOW TO WIN BATTLES. Men Who Hit What They Shoot at Are the Determining Factor in War. Other things being equal, good shocting {is the determining factor in war. Poorly drilled and hastily organ- tsed bodies of men can give a good ac- count of themselves if they know how to ehoot and hit what they shoot at. in our war for independence, says Army and Navy Life, the colonists were woodsmen. They carried and ased their arms to supply their homes with food and to protect them from the savage. As marksmen they vast- ty outclassed the British, and that more than anything else gave Wash- ington the final victory. Again in our great Civil war, mark the effect of a general knowledge of firearms. In the South were sporting people; they were fond of riding and bunting, shooting at target and at game entered into their sports and pastimes. The North was commercial. Its men knew little or nothing of firearms, save the flintlocks of their grandfathers, objects of curiosity in thelr shops or homes, except in the ter West, where the life of 1776 was The result was that tm the East the Southern troops were generally victorious for a couple of reare il the Northern troops learn- *d to shoot.

(Continued.) “Here’s luck, William,” he said— “luck to the great man, the pet of Eu- rope, the savior of the race! I have been reading Mr. Donald Meg- bie’s articles in the papers.” He drank the whisky and poured some more in the glass. “Yet, William, most fortu- nate of living men, you seem unhappy. ‘The Tetrarch has a somber air,’ as the play says. What a pity it is that you are not like me, without any hu- man affections to trouble you! I don’t want to pry into your private affairs— I never did, did I2—but I presume something has gone wrong with your matrimonial affairs again. I’m right, am I not? Can’t Miss Marjorie make up her mind? Tell me, if you like. I can’t give you any sympathy, but Tj can give you advice.” ‘Gouldesbrough flushed impatiently in his chair. gan to speak: “If what you say is true, Guest, then you must be a happy man. Your life is complete; you have got what you wanted; you have done what you wanted to do. Andif you choose to kill yourself with amyl-alcohol I sup- pose that’s your affair. What you say is quite right. I am terribly worried and alarmed about the success of my great desire, the one wish remaining to me. thy from you, but your advice is worth having, and you shall give it to me if you will.” Wilson Guest nodded. “Tell me what is worrying you,” he said. “You know that I have had great hopes of obtaining Miss Poole’s con- sent to our re-engagement. Every- thing has been going on well. Miss Poole believes, or did believe, that the man Rathbone is dead. I used your suggestion and hinted at a vulgar in- trigue. At Brighton, when Charlie- wood shot himself, I was constantly with Miss Poole and her mother. My pretended efforts to solve the mystery of Rathbone’s disappearance told. [ saw that I was winning back all the ground that I had lost. I had great hopes. These seemed to culminate the other night at Lord Malvin’s re- ception. Miss Poole promised to re- ceive me the next day and give me a definite answer. I knew what that meant; it meant ‘yes.’ I was prepared to stake everything upon it. When I called at Curzon street in the evening I was told that she was unwell and could not see me. The next day I suc- ceeded in seeing her. I was taken aback. There was a distinct change in her manner. The old intimacy and freedom which I had been able to re- establish had gone. There was almost a shrinking in her attitude—she seem- ed afraid of me.” “Well, that is easily accounted for. You have done something hitherto be- yond human power; naturally she re- gards you as a person apart, some one who can work miracles. But what did she say?” “It wasn’t that sort of shrinking, Guest. I know Miss Poole well. I understand the real strength and brilliancy of her mind. She is not a foolish, ordinary girl to be frightened as you suggest. I told her that I had come for her answer. I think’ I spoke well—my heart was in what I said— and I urged my cause as powerfully as I,could. Miss Poole absolutely refused to give me any answer at all.” “Well, that is no very terrible thing, William! I know little of women, but one is told that is their way. She will not yield at orce, that is all.” , “I wish I could think so, Guest. It did not strike me in that way at all. and moved Then he be- And she said a curious thing also. She | said that I might re-open the question after the public demonstration. She would’nt pledge herself to give an.an- swer even then. But she said that I might say nothing more to her on the subject until after the demonstration.” Wilson Guest laughed. “What a powerful drug this love is!” he said. “It’s as unexpected in its action as ether! My dear William, you are wor- rying yourself about nothing. I’m sure of it. look at the thing with an unprejudiced eye. It’s all quite clear to me. Miss Poole simply wants to wait until she has seen your triumph with her own eyes. That is all, believe me. You are in too much of a hurry. How curious that is! thing in the werld to find you—you of all men—in a hurry. It is only by monumental and marvelous patience that you have succeeded in discover- ing a law, and applying that law with my help, which makes you the great- est man of science the world has ever known. And yet you leap at the fence, of a girl’s hesitation and reserve as if everything depended on breaking a record for the jump!” Gouldesbrough smiled faintly and shook his head. He was not convinced, but it was plain that he was comfort- ed by what Guest had said. His smile was melancholy and gently sad, and in the electric radiance of the huge, mysterious room he seemed like some eager and kindly priest or minis‘ who bewailed the sins of his flock, but with a humoroous and human un- derstanding of mortal frailty. And there he stood, the greatest You see, ; I don’t expect or want sympa- } Remember that you can’t | It is the strangest } ; of the most cruel and criminal of liv- ing men. Yet so strange and tortuo- ous is the human soul, so enslaved can conscience be by the abnormal mind, that he thought of himself as noting but a devoted lover. His passion and desire for this girl were horrible in their egotism and their intensity alike. But the man with the marvelous brain thought that the one thing which set him apart from the herd and redeemed him for his crime was his love for Marjorie Poole. He really, honestly, and truly believed that. It was not without reason that Don- ald Megbie had seen the blaze of in- sanity in Sir William’s eyes. A supreme genius is very seldom sane. Prof. Lombroso has_ said so. Max Nordau agitated scientific Europe by saying it a few years ago. Yet some one more important said it many years before: Great wits are sure to madness near allied, » And thin: partitions do their bounds dividex “So the matter rests there?” Guest asked. “Yes,” Sir William answered; “but I have altered the day of the demon- stration. There is no need to wait, after all! Everything is prepared. I have sent out cards for Friday next, three days from now.” . Guest poured out some more of the spirit. He laughed rather contemptu- ously. glad I’m free from these _ entangle- ments, William. Of course, it doesn’t matter when the people come to see the thing work. As you say, every- thing is quite ready. But there is an- other thing to be considered. What about Rathbone? He’s no more use now, and he must be got rid of. Shall I go down stairs and kill him?” He said it with the indifference with which he might have proposed to wash his hands. \ CHAPTER XIX. A Death Warrant Is Presented to a Prisoner. When Wilson Guest spoke of the final extinction of the wretched sub- ject of their experiments Sir William Gouldesbrough did not answer. He began to pace the long room. His head was sunk upon his breast, and his face was like the face of Minos— inscrutable and deadly calm. Suddenly the whistle of a speaking tube sounded in the wall. All the lab- oratories and experimental rooms were thus connected with the house proper. None of the servants were allowed to pass the connecting door unless by special leave. Guest went to the speaking tube and placed it against his ean—an ear that was pointed like a goat’s. Then he looked at the tall figure which was pacing the laboratory. “William!” he called out, with an impish giggle. “A lady has called to see you—a lady from Curzon street.” Gouldesbrough stopped short in his walk and raised his head. His face suddenly became a mask of eager attention and alert- ness. Guest tittered with amusement at the effect which his words had produc- ed. ‘Don’t be agitated,” he said, “and don’t look like Henry Irving when he played Romeo. It isn’t the young lady; It’s the old one. It’s Lady Poole. The butler has shown her into the study, and she’s waiting to know if. you can see her.” Gouldesbrough did not reply, but left the laboratory at once. Gtest could hear his hurried footsteps echo- ing along the corridor. Then the pink-faced man turned to the whisky bottle again. He poured out a four- finger peg and sat down in the.arm chair which stood by the vulcanite | table that controlled the vast and complicated apparatus of the thought spectrum. He sipped the whisky and looked at his watch. “Rathbone’s had the cap on for an hour,” he said. “Well, he.can go on wearing it for a bit. If William agrees when he comes back, it will be the last time Rathbone will. have the pleasure of helping in our *experi- ments. I may asywell take a peep at his thoughts now. Lord! what a fas- cinating game it is!” He turned’ a switch and all the lights in the place went out suddenly. Then his fingers found the starting lever of the ma- chines, 4 He moved it, and immediately a low, humming sound, as of a drum, or fan revolving at immense ‘speéd, was heard, far away at the other end of the laboratory. Then, immediately in front of where the scientist sat, the great white’ disc of light, full twelve feet in diameter, suddenly flashed in to view. Images and pictures be- ‘gan to form ‘themselves upon the | screen, . * . * * »Sir William found old Lady Poole {in his study, not sitting placidly in ‘the most comfortable chair she could genius of modern times and also one] find, her usual plan wherever she “Can’t wait, then!” he said) “I'm}. | might be, but standing upon the hearthrug and nervously swinging: a thin umbrella, the jewelled handle of which sparkled in the firelight. “Ah, William,” she said at once in an agitated voice, letting him lead her to a chair while she was speaking— “Ah, William, I am upset about Mar- jorie; I am very upset about the girl. I thought over what was best to be done, and I determined that I would take the bull by the horns, and come and talk things over with you. That is right, isn’t it?” There was a little anxiety in the good lady’s voice, for, however much she desired Sir William for a son-in- law and liked him personally, she was considerably afraid of him in certain of his moods. “My dear Lady Poole,” he replied, with one of his rare and charming smiles, “there is no one whom I would rather see than you. And I’m sure you know that. Tell me all about it”: His tone was gentle and confiden- tial, and Lady Poole’s face brightened at once. + “Dear William!” she said. “Well, I've come to you to talk about Mar- jorie. Our interests are absolutely identical in regard to her. You can’t want to marry my daughter more than I want to see my daughter married to you. Lately things have been going well between you both. I saw that at once; nothing escapes me. where Mar- jorie is concerned. She was quite for- gettirg her foolish fancy for that wretched young Rathbone, owing to his perfectly providential disappear- ance or death, or whatever it was. Then I made sure that everything had come right at Lord Malvin’s party, and especially when I heard that you were going to call next day. I went out—I thought it better—and when I came home my maid told me that Marjorie had not seen you after all; erd since then I’ve kept an eye on all that was going on, and I’m very seri- ously disturbed. Anything I say seems to have no effect. Marjorie will hardly let me mention your name to her. I cannot understand it at all. Her manner is changed, too; she scoems expecting something or some one. My firm conviction is that she has another fit of pining for young Rathbone. I told her as much one evening; in fact, I'm afraid that I rather lost my temper. ‘Gerald Rath- bone is most certainly dead,’ I told her. ‘I was as kind and sympathetic as I could be,’ I said, ‘when Mr. Rath- bone first disappeared. I very much disapproved of him, but I recognized you hada certain right to choose your own future companion, within limits. But now you're simply making your- self and me miserable and ridiculous, and you're treating one of the best- hearted “and distinguished men in England in a way which is simply abominable. It’s heartless, it’s cruel, and you will end by disgusting society altogether, and we shall have to go and live among the retired officers at Bruges, or SOme place’like that.’” Lady Poole paused for breath. She had spoken with extreme volubility and earnestness, and there were tears in her voice. It is a mistake to as- sume that because people are worldly they are necessarily heartless, too. Lady Poole really loved her daughter, but she did earnestly desire to see her married to this wealthy and famous man, who seemed to have no other desire. Sir William. broke in upon the pause. “All you tell me dear Lady Poole,” he said, “is very chilling and depressing to my dearest hope. But difficulties were made to be overcome, weren’t they? And to the strong man there are no fears—only shadows, But what answer did Marjorie make when ‘you said all this to her?” GROWING DWARF TREES. Requires Much Time and Patience, Says a Japanes Horticulturist. Exactly how these tiny trees are produced is known only to a score or so of individuals. But S. Eida, a Jap- anese fellow of the Royal Horticultur- al society, was good enough to supply the writer with some interesting facts relating to the methods employed. It» would seem that the quality es- sential to. the successful dwarf tree grower is patience—ixfinite patience, backed by a fund of calm resignation unknown to the Western mind. Fifty years is named as the shortest period in which really good and _ salable dwarf tree may be grown, while a lifetime is not long enough to produce the highest examples of art. The tree artist merely makes the. beginning; his son, or perhaps even his son’s son, reaps the reward of his labors. Dwarf trees are produced from seeds, or in cases where this is not practicaple, from carefully selected cuttings. When the young plant be- gins to grow it is tended with cease- less care, and from the commence- ment of its career its natural tend- encies are subjugated to the will of the master. Each twig, éach leaf, as it makes its appearance, becomes the object of the closest scrutiny. Shall it be permitted to grow, and if so, in what direction? May it not be advis- able to cut it away altogether and en- courage growth elsewhere? These and a dozen similar questions occupy the mind of the Japanese artist, and upon their correct solution depends the ultimaze value of the tree; for to be perfect the dwarf must possess a |” shape and balance equal to the best life-sized models.

Hospitals and Doctors Could-Not Re- lieve Him—But Cuticura Remedies a Speedy, Permanent Cure. “Eczema appeared when our baby was three months old.

Since then we have used nothing but Cuticura | Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and now the baby is six months old and is quite cured.
