That night, In a crowd of unemployed nnd nnur olilstH, ho moots (Outlier Hlrom, a KiiKslun revolutionist. : CHAPTER l.Contlnued. 2 "Eel-low clt-l-zonsl" His deep-toned bass boomed up and down the street. "The time has come for revolt. Tho rich and the mighty have ground us In the dust long enough. We must turn. We must claim our own. We are the pro-ducors tho backbone of this pow-cr-ful nation. Who shall con trol It the capitalists or the working men?" ' Ills voice, deep and sonorous, pro nouncing each word very fully nnd very distinctly, rang out over the dis ordered crowd like a foghorn cutting through a misty night. It was the old story of noise being mistaken for wisdom, and It Inflamed his hearers like lire to dry twlfs. Nothing could have more nroused them. When after several minutes of thunder ami bombast he brought his address to a whirlwind close nnd bowed nnd turned to climb down, there was a rumbling, mumbling, confused outcry that arose, one solid roar of approbation, and lasted until the giv ers thereof were hoarse. He fought his way through his newly mndo ad mirers nnd returned to the woman, whom he saw standing in the door way, waiting for him. She pulled him Inside nnd stood with her back against It, looking at him with shining eyes. "I I want you to speak for us tonight. Won't you, plense?" She leaned nearer hltn, rest ing her hand on his nrm, nnd her eyes as well as her lips said "please." He felt n peculiar Impulse to put his arms around her, nnd conquered it Just In time. "There's a side entrance. I have the 'open sesame.' I will take you on the plntform with me. You will come, won't you?" Again that pleading of mouth and eye. She stepped Into the street. "Are you coming?" she called hack. "Coming?" he hurried nfter her nnd took her arm, the better to pro tect her from the Jostling throng. "You bet I'm coming. With you I" CHAPTER II. Smulskl's hall wus a vast, barnlike structure of one floor. Every inch of floor space was occupied by swelter lug humanity, and when Fltzhugh rose to make his address he faced an audi ence of fully three thousand. Ho walked to the i-dgc of the platform and stood looking out over that silent sea of upturned faces, with scarcely an Idea of what he was to say. Yet he felt a tingling thrill of pleasure that for a moment was as wine to his senses. He knew what he could do, and ho exulted In his gift. Mnny times before he had moved men with It, but never so large a gathering as this. At the back of the platform, seated among her "comrades," Esther Strom leaned forward la her chair, her lips slightly parted, her dark eyes spar kling. From that moment until the close of his address her gaze uever left his face. Fltzhugh charged Into his address. Ills voice, very low nt llrst, swelled fuller and louder nnd clearer as he spoke, until Its resonant ring thun dered and echoed through tho mam moth .hall. The crowd became as u single body with a single mind, which drank In his words thirstily. He swayed and moved It this way and that with tho apparent ease of the wind swaying a Held of wheat. It was not what he sntd, for he said nothing great, but the way he said It that so stirred his auditors. Those who had gono before spoke to the mind. He spoke to the heart. There was a moment's calm before the storm of applause broke. It roared In upon him, wnve upon wave, und he stood up, smiling and bowing, to meet IL He was Immediately sur rounded by a group of men nnd wom en, who, In their own way, showered hltn with congratulations, henped flat tering eulogies upon him. Turning to greet a fresh delegation who had Just Joined the grou? around him, ho saw Esther standing a short way off. As their eyes met she beck oned him nnd ho went to her. "You must let me hnve him now," eho said, smiling upon tho admirers who had followed him. "He Is my dis covery, you know, nnd there uro many things I want to say to him." "IJrlng him bnck soon, Ksther," called one of the men a blotch- RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF .skinned, .vellow-lmlred giant called Ni kolay. "I want to give him literature." She nodded brightly over her shoul der, and led her captive from the stage and, Into an adjacent room. Once alone with him she seized his liiuid-i and raised her face, eager and radiant, to his. "I knew you could do It I knew It! And there's something else I know." "Well, let's have It," he said a trifle brusquely. "What else do you know about me?" "1 know that you can be a great num." She had waxed suddenly very earnest. "You have It In you. You must take what Is yours! You owe It to yourself I" "(live me your address," said he, "and I'll come to you." She hurriedly wrote something on n slip of paper and handed It to lilin. "Conn. any time," she told him, and turned toward the door. "Isn't there another wny out?" he uskeil, detaining her. "I don't care to run the gantlet of that hand-shaking brigade again." She unbolted a door at the end of the room nnd disclosed a rickety wood en staircase leading to a back alley, lie pressed her hand, murmured a word about a future meeting and was gone. On a fine spring day the finest prom enade In Chicago and tho loneliest Is the Lake Shore drive. Theoretically It Is the Champs Klysccs of the west ern metropolis; ordinarily It Is ns silent, as deserted ns an Isolated coun try road. On this particular morning It was very attractive and very deso late. The only sign of life In the na bobs' thoroughfare (If one excepts the sparrows) was u penniless young man. Under his arm ho carried n newspaper parcel. There was a singular glint In Ids eyes, n singular expression on his face, as well there might be, for, In deed, It was a preposterously reckless thing he was contemplating. Subcon sciously his thoughts were of the dnrk halred Itusslun womnn nnd an early sight of her; nnd It was this, no le.s& than Ids Inordinate passion for the theatrical and spectacular, that gave birth to the extravagant notion that occupied his mind. "In any event," he told himself, "I can do no worso thnn lose. And look "Ten Thousand Dollars, or I Hurl It at Your Feet!" what I stand to win I Because It has never before been successfully done Is no reason why I cannot do It." He stopped before a gray stono mnnslon of flamboyant architecture surrounded by n twenty-foot cast iron fence, both of which plainly ex ploited the Idiosyncrasy of some mil lionaire. One of the lower windows wns raised, and through the shrubbery ho saw silhouetted therein an elderly man, white of hair, patrician of as pect, lean of face, reading a news paper. Fltzhugh, peeving between tip Iron rails of thellrohdlngnaglan fence, regarded him a minute, walked on a few paces, returned, and watched hliu again, not unlike some Indian chief tain gloating over it helpless cnptlve. Of a sudden, as onu who plunges Into n cold shower on a frosty morn ing, he laid hold of the mammoth gate, which seemed to weigh tons, swung It back on Its hugo hinges, walked to tho front door und vigorously worked the knocker. After nn appreciable wait the door was opened. "What Is It?" Inquired tho butler, who in ono brief glance seemed to appraise tho caller's finan cial statUB and social standing. "Mnny things. First the name of tho gentleman who Is sitting in tho room to my right engrossed In the morning news." ','What Is your business?" "Answer me first I" ordered Fltz hugh sternly, nnd with such an air of hauteur and nuthorlty that the sa pient menial wuh almost In a panic for fear he had misjudged his man. "That Is Mr. Symington Otlfl, sir." "I wish to see him. Be so good Ma to tell him so." i "Who shnll I say, sir?" Fltzhugh hesitated a moment, nnd like n lightning panorama, there flashed acrosi his mind telegraphic pictures of myriad hands applauding him, of the warm-blooded Itussinn, whose eyes bespoke her love fc-r him, of the dark-skinned "reds" voicing their Iconoclastic views. And a whim sical Idea came. "Tell Mr. Otis," said he, "that Mn emissary of the Cause desires to speak with him." The butler, though not understand ing, was instantly suspicious. "I am afraid," he demurred, with n firm shake of his head, "that Mr. Otis Is very busy and will bo unable to see you." Fltzhugh thrust his foot between the closing door and the wall ; and at that moment Mr. Otis stepped Into the hall. "Well, Noonnn?" "This man, sir, Is trying to force his way In.- I am Just about to eject him, sir." Fitzhugli laughed merrily. "Oh, no, you're not, Noonnn." And before the corpulent Noonnn could say a word or move u muscle he was seized In a grip of steel and thrust speechles against the wall. The muster looked on as though un certain whether to be amused or In dignant. While he was deciding Fltz hugh confronted htm. "Mr. Otis," said he. "I want a few minutes' talk with you." Otis smiled. "I think you'vtearned nn audience with me. NerveJHfo yours should not go unrewarded' They en tered the shadowy room, ostensibly e library. "Whnt can I do for you?" ".lust n moment." Fltzhugh drew the sliding doors, which led to the hall, together and fnstet'cd tho clasp, having llrst deposited his newspaper parcel very can-fully upon the floor, lie looked around the room, and, sat isfied they were free from Interrup tion, picked up his parcel and took a seat opposite his host, who watched all these movements with a frown of suspicion nnd nnnoynnce. When Fltzhugh spoke his voice had the deep, resonant ring It nlwnys ac quired whenever ho wns "acting" n part or exercising his orntorlcal gift. "Mr. Otis," ho began, leaning forward In his chair nnd looking his auditor steadily In the eye, "you are a million aire, nre you not?" Otis' frown deepened. lie glanced impatiently nt his watch. "I can sparo you but little time this morning," he said, with polite curtness. "I must nsk that you state your business as briefly us possible." "But you aro a mlllIonn!re7" "Yes, yes. What of It?" "And I am n pnuper. At this mo ment I could not buy this newspa per." Tie took from tho library tnble tho morning paper Otis had betfn rending. It wns folded In such wise that n large flashlight photograph im mediately cnught his eye. He recog nized it instnntly recognized the tnll. straight figure In the white sweater standing ubove the blur of faces, nrnis throwii upwards and outwnrds, head back, eyes closed. He lived over again thnt brief moment of glory, and the exaltation he had felt returned two fold. He cast tho pnper aside and threw himself Into the rolo he wns playing with redoubled zest. "Mr. Otis" and he pointed two rigid lingers within nn Inch of his hearer's face "you must lend mo ten thousand dollars!" He seized the newspaper parcel, which had been resting on his knees, nnd stood up, holding it high nbovc his head. "Mind, I say must!" Ills voice rang out omi nously. Ills eyes were cold, merci less. "In these hands, Mr. Otis, I hold sulllclent dynamite to blow this house nnd nil It contains to ten million atoms. Quick, sir!" he' thundered, and mndc a terrible gesture with the parcel. "Ten thousand dollars, or I hurl It at your feet!" Although Otis' face had turned deathly pale he had not grown ex cited or betrayed a sign of fenr. He snt quite still, his thin hands resting lightly on the arms of his chair, his gray eyes fixed unwuverlngly upon the black ones nbovo him, his mind working with tho cool precision of a perfect mechanism. "Ho's either mail or nn assassin," ran his thought "probably mad; and the only way to deal with n madman Is to humor him. Perhaps, thouglu he's only bluffing. In any event I'd best take no chances." Otis made a caressing movement with Ids lingers along tho nrm of his chair; his head rested on tho back of It tho better to keep his eyehold on the supposed maniac. "Ten thousnnd. Er won't you plense sit down?" "I will not. I could not explode the dynamite sitting down." "Quite so, qulto so 1" The caressing movement Incrensed. Ills voice was silky. "Ten thousand li'm. You do not, of course, suppose I have that much money In the house?" "No. You must writ me n check." "Very true, so I must. "But" he held a linger beside his eye and smiled wngglshly "might I not stop pay ment on the check?" The pretty girl again. (TO BE CONTINUED.) . Proper View of Peace.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it in that so many products that are ex tensively advertised, nil at once drop out of eight nnd nre soon forcotton? Tho 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, na like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who arc in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every caso it shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who havo used tho preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, lircr and bladder ailments; corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes the urio acid which causes rheumatism.
