Would he come directly to whence he stood, or would he wheel about and plunge into an opposite direction? All the itrtensity of a lidetime was crowded into that moment of pitiful waiting. "Heaven help tree to save my darling Norine!" he moaned, under his breath. Suddenly the pony quickened his pace, and ere Joe couldreach out his hand. to grasp hint he had bounded .past him and directly. to Ohoweky's side. Prior Joe could hardily repress the cry of bitter anguish that welled up from the depths of his Very soul to his lips over this catastrophe. What in heaven's name should he do now—what could he do? He seemed to suffer a thousand deaths in that mo - meet of horrible, .black despair. It almost seemed to hila that the just God who reigned above had forgotten poor Norine and him... He had forgot- ten the words which his good old moth- er was wont to quote: "Howe'er congealed from us the good intent, The ways of God are all in mercy meant." Chowsky's voice broke in upon his dazed thought. 'He was saying: "The appearance of the horse is a stroke of good luck. You shall. ride him back to the encampment." • Without waiting for Norine to mount, he stooped and gathered her in his arms, as though she had beet. an infant, and lifted her to the animal's broad; sturdy back. "He is a lazy little beast tut best," ex- chinned the half-breed, impatiently, "and he never got along well with my hand on the rein,. I shall cut a strong birch whip. That will make him go along docile enough, I fancy." Keeping cane hand on the animal's bri- dle, he whipped out a long, elierp-bladed knife from his belt with the other and stooped toward a large tuft of long, willowy branches growing close by the roadside. In this moment Joe saw his chance. It would mean a leap for life. Ay, two lives hung upon his success or failure. He could not take time to consider how his plan might be best accomplished, for each gliding instant was precious. Swift as a flashy quicker than a thought, Jos made the desperate leap which divided him from N•orine, who was clinging to the pony's back, sobbinngg out to her captor to kill cher then and there rather than to take her to the Indian encampment, Surely, God and the angels were with Joe, and aided him in his awful peril, for he made the leap with ell the sue- -- PROOF THAT NO ONE CAN DOUBT That Dodd's Kidney Pills Al- ways Cure Consumption. Conclusive Evidence Given by Dur- ham Brown, of Brantford, Ont.— How and Why the Cure is Effected. • Brantford, March 7.—(Special.)—That Rheumatism is caused by diseased .Kid- neys and that Dodd's Kidney Pills cure both the sick Kidneys and the Rheurna- tism is again proved in the ease of Mr. Durham Brown, of No. 2 Spring street, this city, °I was troubled with Backache and other well-known symptoms of Kidney Disease," Mr. Brown states. "I also .suffered from Rheumatism in my right side and hip to the extent that I was always while at work in agonizing pain. "After taking one box of Dodd's Kid- ney Pills I found an improvement and after taking six boxes I found both my Kidney Disease and Rheumatism en- tireiv cured." M. Brown is only one of many cases In which it has been proved beyond a doubt that the natural way to cure 'Rheuma.tiai3i is to remove the cause. The cause of Rheumatism is uric acid in the blood which crystallizes at the museles and joints. Well Kidneys strain the uric i~cid out of the blood.

For God's sake, don't faint, but hold tight to me." And as he uttered the words, he dug his heals deeply into the pony's sides and was off like an arrow shot from a bow. It had all happened so quickly that Chowsky had not time to gather his scattered wits together to realize . what was occurring, but as he saw Joe and Norine disappear from sight, his sesnse returned to him, and the wild yell and war -whoop he sent after them, as he dashed in pursiut of them, made the dim total forest; echo. His rage at finding himself so clever- ly outwitted by a white man was terri- ble to behold. He was a swift runner—.ay, the srwift- est among all the Pawnee tribe—and he dashed after them at a speed that al - .most equaled the pony's own. After that first wild, furious yeti, not a sound broke from Chowsky's grimly cloned lipe.He knew 'too well the value of caving his breath and his strength. Joe %nnJl Norine both knew that he was following after them. They could hear the sound of his mocoasined feet, but they clad not hear the crackling of the shrubs and brambles as he desil through them. They knew, too, that Ohowsky was an expert runner, and that in the end he would outddstanoe the horse from sheer power of endurance. Pausal in the read. Qall.op he was urg- ing the animal to he cared not, not even to turn and send a shot back which might wing his pursuer. His one thought was to guide the an- imal into the main mountain road, de- spite all that he had heard Chowsky say regarding the pony's mad desire to leap over the precipice. Death faced them, turn which way they would, and if they were not to be saved, to be hurled overt he precipice together was a thousand times prefer- able to falling into the hands of the Pawnees. These thoughts` were coursing madly through his brain. as Norine tightened her hold upon him, exclaiming shrilly: "Oh, Joe, the half-breed is racing after us. Can he overtake us?" "We can only trust ourselves to heav- en, little Norine," he answered, hoarsely. "I—I will save you or sell my life as dearly as I can. He did not tell her what course he heal resolved upon if he were to fail. Onward, onward flew the noble little pony, beginning to show now the terri- ble strain he was undergoing, and his steps beginning to lag a little, a knowl- edge which was pitifiully perceptible to Joe. Only once again during that terrible ride of mile after mile at that same mad gallop did Norine utter a word, and then it was to say, faintly, in an awful whisper. "Ilo has given up the chase, Joe. I do not hear him coining on behind. Can we not slow up a little?" Joe's strained ear had noted that there was no longer a crackling of the under- brush close behind them, but unlike Nor- ine, he did not believe that the half- breed ]tad given upthe chase, He knee the habits of the Pawnees far better than to suppose that. The terrible fear was within Joe'a heart that he had stopped a brief instant to fit an arrow to his bow. Chowsky's aim was deadly. No liv- ing thing that he had made his mark had ever yet escaped. him. No matter how greet the distance, Joe knew, with a heart quaking with fear, that if he were to send one of those deadly mis- siles after them in their flight, it would pierce Norine ere it reached him, and that knowledge was more bitter than death to him, who loved her better than his own life. Norine's mind was not idle. She was realizing for the first time hew much Joe loved her. The man she had loved with all the strength of her heart and soul had de- serted her, cruelly, shamefully, in her hour of need, and' the man who loved her was risking life itself to save her. In that moment she knew that her grandfather's words were true—the love of Clifford Carlisle was tinsel, ,and the love of Joe Brainard was pure gold, a leve such as heroes alone were capable of. Norine was like a little child, A great calm seemed to take possession of her. She felt that she was safe with Joe, who had, never yet failed her, to protect her now. • She wondered why he was still so silent, though She had told him that their pursuing foe had given up the chase. He knew but We well that the half- breed had not abandolual the pursuit, and a thousand fears poi;,issed him in consequence. That Chowsky had determined .upon some other taetis he felt assured. Per- haps he had struck into some path,. which was a short eat to the matin road, which they were 'striving to reacll, and would spring, out upon them at any turn. No wonder his nerves were stretched to their greateat tension. There was but one turn in the path, and that was just ahead of them. It they passed it in safety, they would soon be on the main road, and all would be wei. CHAPTER .MU- "Devoted C. ?-"Devoted love will find ire way Thro' paths where wolves .vould fear to pre And if it dares so much 'twere hard Such brave love mut not some reward." Yes, the bend in the road which they were swiftly nearly would determine their fate, whether they would reach the point they were aiming for in safe- ty, or whether they would find them- selves surrounded by Pawnees, which meant capture and death for Joe and worse than death for Nos ne. It was little wonder thr.t ,Toe's heart beat with painful misgiving as he men- tally reviewed the problem. keenly real- izing the awful danger of the situation. Suddenly he caused the little pony to halt in his mad speed, and the sadden- CORNCURED IN 24.HOUHS You can painlessly remove anycorn, either hard, soft or bleeding, by applyng .Putnam's Corn Extractor.

"Within ten minutes tyre I shall know whether I was rght or wrong;" mur- mured Joe. "We had better remain just where we are until that is determined." "I—I trust everything to your judg- ment, Joe," sobbed the girl, piteously. The minutes passed slowly, for they were counting them by anxious heart- beats. Then, suddenly, they heard a succession of wild yells and triumphant war -whoops. For a full minutes the night air re- sounded with the demoniac sounds. Joe knew what it meant and his bronzed cheeks turned pale. The gallant little pony had reached the bend in the road, and, as he suspected, behind the huge rock there. fully a score or more sav- ages, judging from the tumult of voices of the voices of the Indians, had sprung out and surrounded the animal,. the Pawnees supposing that they had out- witted and captured the fleeing captives. Then, quickly, the yells subsided, and from where they crouched behind the trees, Joe and Norine could hear the liveliest kind of a powwow up the road. They had discovered that they had been cleverly outwitted and they were uttering the fiercest oaths of mingled hatred and rage known to the Pawnee language. Then all became quiet• ---dangerously, suspiciously quiet. Over and over again Joe asked himself what it could mean. In his heart there wasbut one ans- wer—the Indians had divided them- selves up into scouting parties, and were scouring the forest in all directions for the fugitives. "There is only one way to escape them Norine," whispered Joe "We must climb into the top of one of these tall trees and await developments," ' There was no need to ask Norine if she could climb, for the wild free •life of the Western plains had taught her that. Since she had been a little child the had climbed up to the topmost boughs of the highest`ttees, to count the tiny eggs in the birds' nests. w ll.

PREVENTION The Aim of Modern Medicine To prevent disease, to keep people well, to teach them the laws of health and how to obey them—this is the aim and task of modern science. Reduc- ing this to its personal application, it means that you should dislodge small ailments before they grow big. In the liver, kidneys, stomach and bowels, we find the instrumentntitt':s that principally maintain life. They are prone to minor interference, that can he easily corrected by taking a weekly dose of Dr. Hamilton's Pills.

"Whatever you say," faltered Norine. He pointed silently up to the one be- neath which they stood. The branches were at quite a height from the ground, but, with. Joe's assistance, she vaulted up to the nearest one. In utter silence, Joe followed her. He knew bow the human voice pene- trated that grin forest—echoing and re-echoing with startling distinctness the faintest whisper. He told himself that he would take no chances. How wise he was in this respect was to be demonstrated all too soon. They had scarcely been seated on the boughs upon which they had climbed ere Joe's keen ear detected the sound of crackling twigs. o "For God's sake, do not stir a ntscle. Our very lives depend upon our being motionless and keeping our self-control, Norine," he whispered, trying to hide his terrible agitation by speaking lightly, carelessly. "1 am sure 1 hear Indian footsteps." "That is just what I was about to tell you, Joe," she whispered. "lou can rely upon my perfect silence. I will not move—scarcely breathe—you may be sure of that." He leaned over and pressed one of the little, cold hands, not daring to reply, for the crackling of the hardened snow' and dry twigs sounded nearer and nearer, and he knew but too well the keenness of the well-trained Pawnee ear. Although the moon was shining bright and clear, a deep gray darkness pervad- ed the forest, save where here and there a stray gleam of moonlight filtered thronsle the bare, leafless branches. So accustomed had Joe and Norine be- come to the thick gloom that their eyes could easily detect the three dark, mov- ing forms that soon appeared in the narrow road. They spoke together in guttural whis- pers, gesticulating wildly. Joe understood a little of the Paw- nee language—bits he had gathered here and there—anti as they approached, lie heard enough to assure him that his sur- mise was correct—they had divided their number into several :quads to search the forest for them. He heard them say, toe, that they would patrol the forest for a week, if the spurinrs will. need be, until they founei their foot prints and carne neross thein, or discov- ered how they had eluded them. He thanked God that Norine did not understand their language. If she had, brave girl though she was, she might have fainted outright, then and there. The three Pawnees halted directly be- neath the huge tree thatsheltered them, explaining, the one to the other, that the road forked out into five or six paths at that identical spot, and here the fugitives must have abandoned their steed. "It is too dark to examine the foot- prints now,' exclaimed one of the In- dians. "1 propose that we throw our- selves down here and rest until the light dawnis s." Thproposition seemed to meet with the approval of his companions, for they immediately- threw themselves down in the e-nosv. Norine did not know what they said, as did Joe, but she noted this action with horror too great for words. How they retrained. so quietly up in the boughs of the great tree without rustling the dry leaves or branches, nei- ther of them could ever have told in the after years when they looked back at that long night of horror. Heaven was merciful to them in mod- erating the intense cold of the weather, otherwise they would never have been able to have enduring their cramped position. The heavy belt of trees, too, warded off the wind, as well. They both saw the morning break, cold and gray in the east, with a thank- fulness of heart words are too weak to describe, and by the faint gray light they could see all three of their foes under the tree as they peered anxiously down. Two of them were apparently sleeping, wrapped up in their blankets, the remaining one acting as a sentinel. How long the moments seemed to drag as they watched the red, fierce, upturned fares. One fear was upper- most in the hearts of both Joe and Nor- ine. When the Indians opened their eyes, they 'would naturally gaze upward Would they behold them then? Would not the bright crimson jacket and hood which Norine wore be sure to attract their attention? The most pitiful apprehension seized Joe, Setting his teeth together tightly, he watched breathlessly, awaiting de- velopments. He had prayed for the morning light. Now he dreaded it with all his soul. He knew .bat hit anxiety must soon end, for it was the Pawnee custom to be up and doing with the first rays of the morning light—only the women of their tribe ever slept until the sun arose in the eastern alcy. And no brave would have his compan- ions think he was like the squaws in this respect, As Joe foresaw, the sleep- ing Indians began to yawn and stretch out their brawny, herculean limbs, Then, slowly, one of the Indians open- ed his eyes and stared carelessly up- ward. Ono glance, and he was on his feet in an instant, pointing upward, with a blood -curdling yell. Ile had dis- covered the two fugitives hiding up in the true CHAPTER XXXI. "So do we hide our greatest griefs from view, For fear of scoffers—or of friends un- true, And our most tender feelings do not show, But keep them like the sea does—buried low— From mortal eyes; beneath the crested wave There is fully many a watery grave." It was a moment in which the horror of a lifetime seemed crowded. So inteuse was the excitement of the Pawnee that all he could do was to yell wildly and point upward, gesticulating madly. There was no time for Joe to consider what was best to be done; instinct taught him, and quickly as a flash the revolver he carried in his belt was brought suddenly into play. There were three rapid, consecutive reports, and when the smoke cleared away all three of the redskins were lying face upward under the huge tree, their life -blood crimsoning the white snowdrifts where they fell; with each. leaden messenger of destruction had done its work in- stantly. A cry broke from Norine's white lips. (To be eontineed.) ECZEMA ON HEAD AND ANKLES Quickly Cured by D. D. D. Mr. I. W. Corns, 21 Givens street, Toronto, writes of his experience with D. D.

BE READY TO CURE HORSE AILMENTS Because a farmer has to work with his horses and have their services nearly every day in the year, it is absolutely necessary that he be posted on their common ailments and know how to treat their injuries. A. horse owner should determine to be his own veterinary, at least in the ordinary cases. Little things happen too frequently to horses to be all the time depending ole others. It is incon- venient as well as expensive to go for a horse doctor when a horse goes lame or there is a swelling to reduce or a wire cut to heal. It is not out of place to suggest, as we have frequently done before, that it is wise to have such a thoroughly good and reliable horse remedy as Kendall's Spavin Cure constantly on band. Itendall's Spavin Cure is now and for a long series of years has been—a standard horse remedy. It can hardly be too strongly recommended. Its com- pounder thoroughly understood horses and their diseases. He brought the ail- ment and the care together, and this applies not merely to one ailment, but to most of the common troubles of the horse. In this connection, we want to com- ment to .our readers an excellent little. book called "A Treatise on the horse and His Diseases? This book and Kendall's Spavin Cure ought always to go together. The book is a wonder- ful little compendium of horse knowl- edge. It gives symptoms, describes dis- eases, suggests proper treatment. In very many eases Kendall's Spavin Cure is the only remedy needed, The book can be had free at the drug store where Kendallie Spavin Cure is sold, or it ma be secured by writing to the Dr. B. S.
