But for two years before I got Tanlac,
Stomach trouble had me In Its grip,
and all sorts of ailments kept bobbing
up to cause me misery. Scarcely any

I had attacks of biliousness and bad

Important to All Women
Readers of This Paper
Thousand upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it. .
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased. .
Yon may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss cl ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri
table and maybe despondent; it makes
any one so.
, But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be, just the
remedy needed to overcome such condi
tions. .!
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Boot, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to Dr. 'Kilmer & Co.,
Bingham ton, N. Y., you may receive sam
ple sise bottle by parcel post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at
all drug stores. Advertisement. :

CHAPTER III. Continued.
"Could,, too." With a shriek, she
lifted one hand and landed a light
ning blow on Crlnk's right cheek.
"Want me to ptck your glsxard out?"
There seemed to be so much pos
sibility behind this question that
Crlnk freed one hand and struck Into
the girl's neck. With the yell of a
tortured, demon, she doubled .both fists
and lighted into hlro with a quick rain
of blows. Her lean arms proved as
strong as steel, her knuckles like
sharp twists of metal; and her skill
was not a matter for dispute. On the
Instant, Grink abandoned the wheel
and devoted himself fo methods of de
fense. Kicking, striking, choking, they
bent and scratched, pushed and
pulled, clawed and twisted, slipping
Id the ashes, stumbling over charred
lath and lumps of plaster, till they
landed down In the grass In an angry
snarl. Picking themselves up, they
glared at each other through a breath
less moment, their, hard young bodies
Intact, their hard young spirits uncon
quered. Crlnk was conscious of an unwel
come feeling of respect for his an
tagonist. She was no larger than he
smaller. If anything but, golly,
couldn't she hit out?
"Whut's your name?" he Inquired,
for the first time honoring her with
Individuality.
"Lettle. What's yours?"
"Crlnk."
Since both belonged to a stratum
In which superfluities were lopped off,
these, brevities were all that either
expected. 4 ,
"Gee !" he continued, venturing on
the wily path of strategy. "You're
the quickest thing I ever sow. I guess
you're 'bout a ten-second kid. I guess

his snub nose Indicated the wheel.
Lettle looked down, as If she were

I always take ev'rything."
"What for?"
"Have to."
"Why X'
'Cet beat ir I don't."
"Beat? Who beats yon T
"Women I live with." , , .
"Do they beat you often?"
"All time fierce." Lettle's hard
ened Indifference was more eloquent
than a plethora of details.
. Crlnk stared at her with a new ex
pression, of wonder and Incredulity.
He wag acquainted with hardship,
with privation, with eternal searching
for odds and ends, but he had been
saved from cruelty.
"And If you take things, home-do
you get beat up then?" be pursued.

else goes wrong." ' f ;
A picture flashed across Crlnk's
mind Penzle, with, the comfortable
arms, the love" that never failed.
With bis wide stare entangled In the
black eyes still defying him savagely,
he slowly lifted one hand, then the
other. : ,
"Take It," he said shortly.

f Te-nh, you don't !" she Joered. "
"Where iyou living at?"
Briefly he told her. In the telling,
a startling thought popped Into his
mind. '"Mebbe Penzle'd like you,
too," he finished.
Lettle's lips curled.
He continued.' "She's Infrusted In
kills that don't Int'rust nobody else."
Ti ls subtle flattery was allowed to
peVuicute Lettle's consciousness be
mre Crlnk overlaid It with a further
contribution.
"We're going to have stew for sup
per." Lettle gulped. Her armor had been
pierced In a weak spot. She had had
nothing to eat since breakfast and
that a meal of exceeding sketchlness.
"You come 'long to supper and let
her look you over," he proposed.
"Did you say stew?"
"Uh-huh."
"Meat In It r
"Uh-huh."
"Is It an honest-to-goodness Invite?"
"Sure."
'Lay down, cut yon In two?"
Crlnk took the oath.
"I'll go," she shrieked. "You can
have nil the Junk here." She swung
her arm wildly and rose.
Crlnk did, not move; be was well
nigh paralyzed with strange glimpses
Into a life far darker than his own.
"Get up," she shouted. "You Uttle
ninny! I'll , lick you If you go back
on It now. Rattle your bones
lively" ' '
When they had gathered up" the
surface treasures, Crlnk escorted Let
tle through vacant lots and friendly
alleys to The Custard Cup even to
the high privilege of the back-door
entrance. "
"Penzle," he shouted, plunging Into
the lean-to In high excitement "Pen
ile, look what I brought you. .It's
Ten-Second Lettie."
Mrs. Penneld set down her flatlron
and turned to see what she had un
expectedly acquired. A pair of
bright black eyes stured back at her
unwtnklngly out of a small sun
browned face. '
"Bless my soul !" exclaimed Mrs.
Penneld genially. "Ain't this 'nice!
Come right In, Lettle."
Lettle did not move. Her expres
sion was noncommittal the hard,
wary expression of over-experience
estimating, preparing for possible
combat' Her curly black hair framed
her face In ragged waves. Her pres
entation gown was of the simplest a
one-piece garment, obviously Intended
to close In the bock, but long since
refusing to close at all. Finding this
a hindrance to untrammeled action,
Lettie had faced the garment about,
and laced it down the front with bits)
of twine, making use of the original
buttonholes and accidental perfora
tions. Her emancipation from shoes
and stockings was no affair of recent
dute. With the more substitution of
u trifle of fringed grass for her scrap
of shredded, cotton, Lettle might ap
propriately have punctuated the peb
bly beach of a sunny island In the
South seas.
Mrsj Penfleld, feeling her way In a
situation which she was far from un
derstanding, took refuge In general
hospitality. -
"Sit right dewn here, Lettle,'; she
Invited cordially, shoving along a tub
of soaking clothes and wiping the
bench free , of spatters! "I guess
likely you're a fnfend of Crlnk's, ain't
you?" - ; :.. .
The cautious. Lettie was not 'pre
pared to say. She took the offered
seat but Immediately fixed her wary
eyes again upon her hostess.
"Do you live somewhere 'round
here, Lettle?" Inquired Mrs. Penfleld
gently. .
No unswerl v V-
Crlnk, wriggling uneasily by the
door, felt that the time bad come to
talk up his exhibit
"She's awful strong,' Penzle, Ain't
any bulldog stronger'n she Is, by
rpkv !" - W. - "
Lettie visibly expanded,4 wrapping
this tribute about her as a lady might
her silken robes. For the first time
her gaze wandered-to a busy sauce
pan on the stove from which Issued
savory odors no longer to be lgnorea ;
for the first time she spoke.

with marked condescension.
"Sure you will,"' agreed Mrs. Pen-
field warmly. "We're going to have
a grand parsnip stew."
Crlnk. vastly encouraged by the re
ception, of the first point, proceeded
with another. '. '
"Say, you "ougtiter see Ten-Second

Lettle, Immensely pleased, r looked
brightly Into Mrs. Penfleld'g face,

knowledged placidly. - :
"Have you, now?" Inquired Mrs.
Penfleld conversationally. "That's
good. Ain't nothing can move things
faster'n temper. All you got to do Is
to Warn when to use it, else you're
likely to give the wrong thing
shove." ' . .". - '.' ,
Lettle was unwilling to allow even
this modification to dim the luster of
her chief virtue. "I don't leave noth

continued ; "not nothing, ncw",
nor niody."

"And your father and mother d

"Never had none." With a scornfu'
grunt Lettle repudiated all natural

"Yes, you did. Course7 you
"Shut up," flashed Lettle,- turning
on Crlnk In wrath. "Shut up! Don't
vou dare to sass me."
"Never' mind, children," said Mrs.
Penfleld, setting her iron on the back
of the stove. "Taln't always a mat

"Ye-nh." rejoiced Crlnk, clasping
one foot and dancing around on the
other. "And say, ain't it grand the

stooped to wheedling. "Don't - you

If she had feared un Impetuous ac

diately relieved. With a highly
trained big toe, Lettle was engaged In
loosening a sliver In the rough hoard
floor, and not until she had fic'shed
this fascinating operation . did she
make apy reply whatever. "I ilon't
know," she said frankly. "I'd have to
see what I think." Then, as If to
ease the blow of her ungraciousness,
she added hastily, "But I'll stay to
supper, anyhow." A
Mrs. Penfleld closed the oven doot
and rose. She put her hands on
Crlnk's small shoulders and rooked
Into his eyes with unaccustomed seri
