ILL SEVEff YEARS
Saved from an Operation by Lydia
L Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound
Sidell, 111. "I was a nervous wreck.
I was Buffering from a pain in my left
i aide, wnicn was al
most unbearable, and
I could not even let
the bed clothing rest
on my body at night.
I had been sick for
seven years, but not
so bad until the last
eighteenmonths,and
had become so run
down that I cared
for nobody, and
would rather have
died than live. I
couldn't do my work without help, and
the doctors told me that an operation
was all there was left I would not
consent to that, so my husband brought
me a, bottle of Lydia . Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and begged me
to take it. I have taken fourteen bot
tles of it and I feel ten years younger.
Life is full of hope. I do all my house
work and had a large garden this year.
I never will be without the Vegetable
Compound in the house, and when my
two little girls reach womanhood I in
tend to teach them to take it I am
never too busy to tell some suffering
sister of my help, and you can use my
name and letter to spread the good
newsof Lydia E. Pinkham's medicines."

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it ia that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
- an endless chain system the remedy ia
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have told for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale."
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
nsed the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root) is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every with in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid
which causes rheumMsm.
"You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

Remedy for Unrest.
The solemn man In the smoker said
never a word for many a mile. Final
ly, however, he turned to Ids seat mate
and remarked:
"There is much unrest In the world
Just now, my friend; much unrest."
"You're right." -
"I hope you are not unmindful of
the fact that we ech have a duty. We
must combat this unrest."
"I'm doing my best," said the other
man.
"As to how, my friend, as to how?"
"I manufacture mattresses."

CHAPTER XX Continued.

As Mrs. Penneld gathered Lettie
Into her arms, she was horrified to
find that the child's sleeve was soaked
with blood. Lettie hud not fainted;
she hud fallen from dizziness. She
was still dizzy. Mrs. Penfleld carried
her Into' the bedroom.
.It was only a surface wound, the
bullet having grazed the flesh for some
distance, but the subsequent violent
exercise had mude It bleed free'y, Mrs.
Penfleld washed and dressed lv refus
ing meantime to listen tr the v. Id, ex
cited stories which both Lettie an.'
Thud were determined to tell. They
were home and safe; nothing else mat
tered. It was a long time bef-re she
soothed them; and after they hml gone
to sleep, Mrs. Penneld kept vl.l.
The crooked old clock had traveled
to hulf-past nine, and she had heard
nothing from the police station. Then
Jerry Winston tramped Into the klteh
en and threw his hat on a bos.
"They got the money, Car'line. I
wish I could have brought It to you,
but It'll take an order from the court
to release It."
"The money! The money that I "
He nodded. "Two hundred and
twenty-eight dollars bills and one
check Inside 'em. They found 'em on
the rascal, envelope and all. He
hadn't hud time tiv "
"The rascal! Who?"
'Bosley."
"Bosley!" Mrs. Penfleld leaned back
against the wall, limp with consterna
tion. "You don't mean that Frank
Bosley stole "
Jetry Winston shook his head. "I
don't mean he started out to do It
no. He's been playing for bigger
stakes'n that. But we got him at lust
confound his picture, we got him!"
He brought his fist down on the table
with a blow that teetered It on Its frail
Tegs. I
Mrs. Penfleld sank to the wash
bench. "The world's a-swlramlng,
Uncle Jerry. Would you mind pinning
me to something somewhere?"
He laughed. "Why, no. If you'll
keep mum about It cross your heart
and hope to die. or however Lettie
puts It I'll tell you the whole story.
You'll see my part in It can't be pub
lished." "It shall be as Lettie says," she
smiled back. "Are you going to ask
me o believe that Frank Bosley took
this money and "
"Exactly. He came for the package
that his wife left, and you weren't
here. He had to have It quick, 'cause
he'd got scared and was planning a
get-away, so he came In for It; and I
don't have to remind you, Car'line,
that It's easy to find things In this
house. He found the package, and
there was the money beside It. Why
not take It, as long's he was going out
of town anyway?"
"What are you talking about, Uncle
Jerry? Why was he getting away,
and -
"'Shaw, now, Car'line, the idea of
your being confused 'cause I began at
the wrong end of my story. I'll take
the other end If you'd like It better.
Tou see, I been trying out a little
aleuthlng."
"Oh !' Mrs. Penneld drew a deep
breath. On the Instant her memory
caught up a few perplexing occur
rences In the past months.
'Yes, I've always had a leaning
toward It read a good deal and fol
lowed what other i fellers had done,
and all that ; and when I got my
knockout for the woods, I naturally
wanted to go Into something, that ap
pealed. I had a lot of personal recom
mendations and a letter to a man con
nected with the lumber company.
Through him and considerable red
tape, I finally got sworn In as a spe
cial with the secret service, when they
were taking on a number of extra
men to work on the Bosley ring. My
particular assignment has been to
shadow Bosley. Believe me, I've sweat
blood over that feller, darn him !" ,
Mrs. Penfleld's eyes were fixed on
his face. "That's why you came here
took' the loft and "
"Sure. I wanted to- be 'round as
casually as possible.' I've worked ev'ry
scheme I could concoct to worm myself
Into that feller's life. But he was a
slick one in hla own line. He's been
stringing me on a real-estate deal, and
I've allowed myself to be strung. Of
course he didn't suspect my object, but .
I sort o' made him nervous, hanging
'round and getting In with bis cronies.9
' "Uncle Jerry, you're worse's a wom
an for not getting at the main point.
Tou may be a star detective, but you'd
never make a reporter. Now will you
kindly stay still in your tracks till
you've told me what you wanted him
forr -'(""" .'
"Oh, that!" Jerry Winston chuckled.
'Tea, mebbe I did overlook that It's
been in my mind so long. Why, he's
been a leader In a ring that's been
supplying drugs to a lot of fiends In
exchange for their passing off counter
feit money. Choice circle, and a big
one, tool All nations represented Chi
nese and whitest Lettie put me wise
to their money-factory.;.: I ,waa sure
. they bad one, but"' ,. v ....
"Lettie r Mrs; Penfield came to her
feet "What do you mean?",. ' i
"Holy smoke, Car'line; don't get so
excited! Lettie. didn't know what she
was doing, and I haint never men
tioned it to her. Catch me quizzing a
U4I No, all ,1s, I overheard her twit
ting Bosley,, '.bout slinking Into a house
next to- enw -of the Tkcant lota, I
hugged the lean-to and listened; but,
believe me, I did more prowling than
Lettie has 'fore I found the vacant lot
and the house. Rulding It was part of
last night's work. i
"You see, yesterday I got hold of
one of his dope fiends that was wlllng
to "squeal on him, so last night we
put It through as smooth as silk. The
feller bought the stuff with money
we could have Identified In Slam. 'One
of our on men was within witnessing
distance, too. Some of the very
powder you were guarding yesterday,
Car'line, Is one of our choicest ex
hibit today. We sure got Bosley J
f'iiru It all, we got him!"
"I s'pose," Isald Mrs. Penfleld slowly,
"that Mrs. Bosley' been honoring me
with her packages of counterfeit
money and dope, but seems as If it
wasn't very clever"
' "Clever !" Jerry Winston took the
word out of her mouth. "She was the
life of the ring In the beginning, but
lately she'd lost her nerve, and Bos
ley's had the devil's own time to keep
her from breaking away. She didn't
care If Bosley got caught, so long as
she'd cleared her skirts. If the house
was going to be searched, the goods
weren't going to be there. See? Ain't
any of these folks so clever that they
don't do something foolish 'fore they're
through."
"Poor thing!" commiserated Mrs.
Penfleld. "I wonder what'U become of
her."
"Well, I can tell you. She'll get a
chance to think It over. We got her
lust night, too. She wus staging an
exit of her own, but we trailed her to
Sixteenth street station, just In time
to see her getting on the local for
the mole. That gave her two chances:
To o on to Sun Francisco or come
bae on a through tralii. We tele
graphed the police on the other side to
watch the ferry; then we waited for
the Shasta limited and there she
was! Gee, I was glad. The more of
the trick I could help to turn, the
surer I'd be of building up a reputa
tion. Well, sir, the little lady went
right up through the roof of the sleep
er first off; then she cume down and
WSXa-.
"What's the Matter With Thadr
melted Into tears. Some confession we
got out of her I That's how I got hold
of a lot of things I been telling you.
Seems 'twas you tipped her off that
she'd better get out of town."
"1 1 Why, I didn't see her last eve
ning." He laughed. "No, but you tele
phoned the police from Mrs. Catter
box's and she told Mrs. Bosley as a
piece of neighborly gossip.. I came
around to hunt up Mrs. Oussle and
was just In time to catch a glimpse
of her taking a taxi. I'd ha' caught
her at the station If the darned engine
of the car I'd rented hadn't stalled
on me a block away. Golly, I waa
mad !"
"rm sorry for 'cm both," declared
Mrs. Penfield thoughtfully. "Folks that
mix up their lives that way ain't real
ly grown up. But oh, Uncle Jerry,: I
can't be thankful 'nough that I'm go
ing to get that money back. You can't
Imagine what a weight It lifts. It was
a small matter compared with Thad,
but" .
"Thad ! What's the matter with
Thad?" he reiterated.
. Briefly she told him.
He shook his head. "If you want to
raise that Lettie kid, Car'line, you'll
have to train some of the recklessness
out of her. She bad a narrow escape.
Our men raided that Evertdge street
house last bight, hunting for the plant,
and the woman tried to get away.
They shot at her. She1 she ain't ex
pected to live. , here,. there,
Car'line, don't get white over danger'
that'a past. It ain't likely to happen
again. Probly Thad came In and saw
Bosley take the money, and Bosley
wasn't running any chances of being
told on till he could get Out of town.
Then some of his cronies would have
turned Thad - loose again only we
stopped the plan by calling a halt on;
all their doings. Cracky, I got to be
going. I want to see if I cant land
a Job somewhere on the strength of
this." 1 ,:;,,;' --,".' '; ,'.-..' .
The doorbell rang sharpy. Mrs.
Penfield found a knot of her neighbors
in the driveway, discussing the news
paper accounts of the raid and the ar
rest of five suspects. Eagerly they In
aaaa1aaSBV- - J lllsa
vited her Into their comparison of ex
citing events, feeling sure that through
Jerry Winston's Intimacy with Frank
Bosley she would have many Interest
ing details to contribute. But when
she merely listened and added nothing,
they were surprised, Incredulous, even
resentful. ' t '
From hour to hour further ; Items
were unearthed, dragged Into the
small community, and shared gener
ously In an Impromptu council of all
the tenants. The Bosleys had not been
populur; their downfall had therefore
a sutlsfylng element that lent peculiar
piquancy to everybody's version. Blood
was a-tlngle with keenest stimulation ;
the air was cloudy with exclamations.
Nor was there any perceptible dimin
ution the next day or the next. And
scarcely had the driveway gossip
thinned a trifle when Mrs. Penfleld'a
thoughts were given a vastly different
turn.
Mr, Crashaw came to Interview her.
He had seen Mrs. Weatherstone ; he
had seen the hangings. He offered Mrs.
Penfleld a hundred dollars In cash and
a small block of stock In his laundry
association In exchange for her formu
la and a certain amount of supervision
until its use should be mastered In the
various laundries of which he had
charge.
"It will mean," he told her, "about a
thousand dollars a year more, as the
business grows but you can be as
sured of that amount."
It seemed a fortune to Mrs. Pen-
field. She had difficulty In tempering
her Impetuous delight Into a seemly
business attitude. To have a steady
Income, aside from her usual earnings,
would mean a different life for the
children.
After Mr. Crashaw had gone, she
begun to plan exactly what that life
should be. For one thing, she would
surely be Justified In giving up the
management of The Custard Cup,
which was rapidly precluding other
duties. With significant Juxtaposition,
the fact that Mrs. Sanders was leav
ing her flat, flashed Into her mind.
Mrs. Sanders was going to live with a
cousin In Sonoma county and help
tuke care of a large family of children.
Mrs. Penfleld could rent that flat It
would be the pleasnnter because a
friend had lived In it. There would be
conveniences, a more satisfactory num
ber of rooms. She would keep up her
laundry work, but under far easier con
ditions. There would be school book a
clothes, plenty to eat, a fund slowly
growing In the bank. Oh, everything
would be different and safer. Per
haps Uncle Jerry would -

Jerry. We could take the dining

The color came up In his bronzed
face. "Well, I I don't know, Car'line,"
he stammered. "It's bully of you to
think of It, but but I hope I can't-
that is well, we'll talk it over." He
tramped rapidly out of the alley.
"Well, I sure wonder what he
means," thought Mrs. Penfield In sur
prise. . '
She watched. Uncle Jerry went up
Miss Hapgood's steps.
"Oh-h-h!" she breathed. She ceased
to wonder.

TO HAUL AWAY MOUNTAIN
Workmen Near Blsbee, Ariz., Are
Trying a New Venture in
Copper Mining.
For some time past, It seems, work
men near Blsbee, In Arizona, have
been trying a new venture In copper
mining. Instead of following the pre
scribed method of hollowing out a
I .mountain and using shafts and tun
J nels, they dig it dowu with seam
shovels and cart It - away. One can
form some idea of the magniture of
the task when he learns that It will
take more than sixteen years to com
plete it, that during the process ap
proximately 25,000,000 tons of copper
ore will be carted away, and that from
It something like a billion pounds of
copper will be extracted.
During the five years the work has
been carried on five million cubic
yards or more of material have been
taken from the mountain, though that
amount does not represent pure ore.
As fast as the material is dug it Is
