Life. .
Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public,' there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realised. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the .disease. Dr. .Kilmer's Swamn-
Root is on Bale at all drug stores in bottles
of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Advertisement.

Living with her are "Crink" and

Above these rooms was a loft,' once
used for hay but now entirely cut
off from the ground floor. It could,
however, be approached by a ladder.
on the outside and was so ( ap
proached by Crink during winter
rains, when It was the last resort for
drrlnir clothes.
It was September, the California
summer was In Its glory; the days
were warm and bright, not yet edged
with the crlspness of fall. Crink be
ing In school, Mrs. Penfleld was man
aging alone.
She had taken np her basket of
clothes and started for the yard,
when the bell rang. This was strictly
In accordance with -the usual routine,
because Mrs. Penfleld rarely finished
anything without Interruption. She
put down her basket and went to the
door.
"Good morning, Mrs. Bosley. Come
right In." ,
A young woman stood outside. She
was carefully groomed, smartly
dressed, striking In appearance with
out being exactly pretty. She and
her husband lived In The Custard
Cup, but no one could understand
why. They yere apparently free of
all responsibilities and devoted them
selves to good tlmc3; in short, they
were everything that the other mem
bers of the community were not;"
"I can't stop, Mrs. Penfleld. I'm
going downtown, nnd I wondered If
you't let me leave this package with
you. It's got a few trinkets in it,
and I'd feel safer." .
Mrs. Penfleld hesitated. "I hain't
got any safe place," she said slowly,
"and I'm In Mid out "
Gussie Bosley broke In easterly.
"You needn't feel any care about It.
Nobody'd take It, but I've got n feel
ing I'd rather leave It here. -I put
a newspaper round It, so 'twouldn't
look of any value whatever. She
f) passed over a small package.
Mrs. Penfleld .look It with some re
luctance and rjiKled lt Into her bed
room. She w. accustomed to all
sorts of strange requests, but It was
the first time she had been asked to
guard valuables.
"I expect she thinks nobody'd look
here," Mrs. Penfleld reflected ; and
with that she dismissed the matter
altogether and went on out to the
yard with her basket As she wiped
the lines, she sang under ber breath
In sheer blltheness of spirit. This was
the happiest part of her work; she
loved the air, the sunshine. ,
"Mornin'," called a rasping voice.
"Why, Mr. Wopple, good morning!"
she returned briskly. "Ain't It a
grand day?" t
"Well, pretty fair," conceded Mr.
Wopple grudgingly. He never so far
encouraged anything, even the
weather, as to give It unqualified ap
proval. - Mr. Wopple was a night watchman
In some vague building ' near the
water front ; and no one In The Cus
tard Cup questioned his; being emli
nently adapted to exactly that work.
Watchfulness was the keynote of his
personality ; he sacrificed many hours
of possible dytlme sleep by bringing
his professional activities Into the
home field. v ,
"Yes, It's a grand day," repeated
Mrs. Penfleld, quite as If she had re
ceived more encouragement. "How
are you fesllrig, Mr, Wopple?"
"Jest m'ddlinV he replied. In a die
away vflfte His small, beady eyes
were filmed for a moment, out of def-
erence to this sentiment He gazed
at Mrs Penfleld with a new shrewd
ness which she would have sensed at
once if she had been less occupied. '
1 see Thad's got a new rig," con
Aiud Mr. Wopple, In the manner of
one who delivers a preamble.
"Yes, bless the baby I" laughed Mrs.
?Mifteld. ' "I finished that up last
sight Tm sorry rt'g pink, 'cause It
don't go With Jils hair the best ever,
but that nice gingham couldn't go to
anate." '.-' --
"I exp:t Thad's lucky to get ss

"Sure". t! was a little dis'ppointed

i flgger a child ought to be dls'ppolnt
ed at least once a week, In order to
get used to life." She discarded
broken clothespin and reached Into
her pocket for another.
"I guess likely you aimed to have
folks think he was your own kid,"
Insinuated Mr. Wopple, testing the
strength of his old prunlng-sheart.
"Land, no. I never claimed he was.
Hes mine 'cause a adopted him and
love him, and 'cause he loves me.
That's all there Is to It" '!.
, Mr. Wopple thought otherwise. "It's
easy said. Mis' Penfleld, but I'll bet
there s a lot more to It Whertfd you
get Thad, Mis' Penfleld?" . .
With a quick movement she lifted
the sheet and pinned It Into place.
"The records are for Thad when he
grows up"
"You got some records, then?"
"MeBbe," she returned, on guard
"I don't see what diffrunce It makes."
"Well, I should say It made a lot
course you rrwant to know what kind
0' folks he h(M. Might be things that'd
crop out You'd be the one to be dls-
'ppolnted If he was to turn out a
robber or murderer or somep'n."
Mrs. Penfleld shook out a white
skirt and smiled. "All you got to do,
Mr. Wopple, Is to look at Thad once
and you won't talk that way. He's
as sweet a baby as ever was, and
there ain't nothing In his face that
ain't good and dear. If he ever turns
out bad, It won't be bis fault; it'll
be 'cause I failed him."
' 'Shaw I More like lt'd be somep'n
In his birth."
Mrs. Penfleld jammed down a
clothespin with , a ; violence that
snapped It In two, but her voice was
still pleasant "Thad's got past his
birth by 'most four years, and he

I'm afraid of, and one of the main
reasons I'm living Is to see that he
develops Just the way he's started.
If a good way; I lllte it; and if the
Lord spares me, -he'll be ready to
meet the world face to face when
he's growed up."
Her neighbor's thin Hps twisted.

broken shears into a post, ,"1 thought

' Mrs, Penfleld made no reply. ' A
flush rose In her cheeks, ' but she
placed her pins carefully In the last
garment . 1
"Well, Ben says this kid didn't have

and therefore did not see Mrs. Pen

Mr. Wopple, with some hesitation,
admitted that perhaps he could, Mrs.
Penfleld having hitherto been a satis
factory neighbor ; and she acknowl
edged his courtesy by a smile, half
conciliatory,' half abstracted." But
when she had taken up the empty
clothes basket and gone back into the
house, she sat for several minutes
looking Into space, her busy hands
Idle, a mist of compassion In her
dark eyes. Once her lips moved.
"Why, why can't I wipe out the han
dicaps entirely r she breathed.
"Dpnt seem rig for any child".
She was still sitting there when
Thad came In. Mrs. penfleld gathered
the boy, into her arms and kissed blra,
"Fenzie," ne gasped, "squeeze me
softer, please. I 'most can't breathe.
What ypu do It so hard for?"
She laughed. "Bless your baby
heart I I expect I was keeping ev'ry
thing away." , '
"Why, Penzle, ain't anything here-
Just you and me."
"sure enougn, sne said, more
lightly. "And we mustn't sit hero,
doing I nothing. I've got to get to
work, and you trot along and play."
A few minutes inter he came run
ning to her in great glee.
See, Penzle, I found somep'n." n
held up a small package. It was flat,
oblong, tied with cord. '
"Where did you get that, Thad?"
"In your room all done up in
paper." . '
"You shouldn t have touched It-
She took tne package, to carry It
back to her room ; then paused In
astonishment The cords were fas
tened with wax ; the' seals had not
been broken. She turned It over. It
was soft to the touch. On one side
was simply the name "Bosley."
"That's never the family Jewels,"
she thought, as she went Into the
bedroom. "Next time TU let her keep
It to home. I'll bet It ain't nothing
want In this house."
CHAPTER III
....
The Invasion of Lettle.
Having delivered the final order at
groceries for the day, Crink Penfleld
aried monotony by taking ' a- new
route home, and was rewarded by a
sight that made him stop suddenly
and catch his breath with joy. In a
large lot, where he distinctly remem
bered a tenement bouse, there was
only an enormous heap of debris.
"Cracky!" murmured Crink. "Wa'n't
that a grand Ore? , Here's where I get
busy." - ,
He hid his basket behind a mass
of shattered masonry and plunged
into exploration of the highest mound
of ashes. Crink lived the life of sal
vage. A bit of human wreckage Aim
self, he had an unfailing attraction
for all the material, wreckage that
came within range. Young as he was,
the boy was an expert with a bent
piece of Iron, flicking scrap heaps for
those fragments which have been
thrown out not because their useful
ness Is exhausted but because their
owners have been lacking In tngenrv
ity. Even, as Mrs. Penfleld had res
cued him, so had he In turn rescued
countless bits of wood and cloth. Iron
and tin, and pulled them back Into
the fleld of service. . -.,
Squirming to the top of the mass,
Crink discovered an Incredible pjece
of luck, the wheel of a dismembered
sewing machine. He grabbed It, but
at the same moment another hand
also grabbed a small, thin band. A
pair of bright black eyes confronted
Crink, the eyes of a girl about his own
age who had been conducting a series
of Investigations of her own from the
rear of -the lot .
"Hey, leggo there," cried Crink.
"Leggo yourself," retorted the girl,
."Shan't I got hero first" ;
"Yon didn't neither. , If you had,
you'd ha' taken it, wouldn't your
For a 'moment the . boy was stag
gered.' He had been prepared for ac
tion, but not for reasoning, and the
latter had driven him into a .corner
where speech would merely weaken
his cause. . . , -,.',.
By a quick movement Crink .lifted
the wheel, but the girl's counter-pull
flopped It back again with a smart
whack that sent a cloud of ashes into
the ar. The contestants , gulped,
coughed, lgnominiously sneezed,
glared at each other with reddened
eyes but with no diminution of will.
"Now look here," began Crink, In a
voice' intended to be terrible, "you
ain't gaining nothing.' This , here
wheel's mine."
"Prove It why don't yon? Rummy
dummy I" : ' 1 .
"Gosh!" he writhed. "Quit calling
names, you little fighting devil."
"Now you got my number," she re
turned., "Just yon make me, one bit
madder, and Til show you."
"Howll yon show me?"
"I'll punch yon Into purgatory
So!" A
