"We have used "Fruit -a -three" fa
our house for over three yearsandhave
always found them a good medicine.
Our little girl„ Hattie, was troubkd with
Kidney Disease. The Doetor said she
was threatened with Dropsy. Her limbs
and body were all swollen and. we began
• to think she could not live. Finally, we
.decided to try "Frult-a-tives". She
began to show improvement after we had
given her afew tablets. In a short time,
the swelling had all gone down and her
flesh began to look more natural. Now
she is the healthiest one in the family
and has no signs of the old ailment.
We can not say toO much for "Fruit-a-
tivee" and would never be without
•them".

"The bullet went thorugh my hat." 1
"Let me see the hat,"
McCloud produced it It was a
heavy, bread -brimmed itetson, witha
bullet -hole cut cleanly through he
front and the back of the crown.
Smith made McCloud put the hat on
and describe his position when the
shot was fired; McCloud stood np,-

"What do you think ef it?" asked i
McCloud when he had done.

"Doubtless he thought he had you

but your reaching the pass so late.
wHow did you spend all your time be-

McCloud saw there was no escape
from telling of his meeting with Dick-

point brought a suppressed exclama-
When sufficiently urged."
McCloud opened the r drawer of the I

Whispering Smith reached out his

harerd it back.
"You don. like it."
Smith smee 41 sickly approbation.

answering McCloud'sgreeting as he
entered the upstairs office. "How

just as he had eome from a late sup-

When he asked for news McCloud ,
told him the story of the erouble with
Lanee. Dunning- over the survey, and
added that he hd referred the matter
to Glover. He then told of his unpleas-
ant aurprhee when riding home after-

"Yes" assented Snaith looking with
feverish interest at MeCloud's h.ead;
"I heard about it."
