Cleveland. Ark August 15 (Spe-'

or some wonderful cure of some form
of Kidney Disease by the Great
American Remedy, Dodd's Kidney
Pills, and this part of Arkansas is
not without its share of evidence that
no case is too deeply rooted for
Dodd's Kidney Pills to cure.
Mr. A E. Carlile, well known and
hishly respected here, tells of his
cure after nearly a quarter of a cen
tury's suffering. Mr. Carlile says:
"I want to let the public know
what I think of Dodd's Kidney Pill.
I think they are the best remedy for
sick kidneys ever made.
-I had Kidney Trouble for 23 years
and never found anything that did me
so much good a Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I recommend them to all sufferers."
There is no uncertain sound about
Mr Carlile s statement. He knows
that Do-id's Kidney P11I3 rescued him
ire el a life of suffering and he wants
the public to know it. Dodd's Kidney
Pills cure all Kidney Ills from Back

Rothgar took no part in tie stream
of questions and comments that
drowned the voice of the messenger,
until suddenly he launched an oath
that out-thundered them all. "May

Rothgar's voice broke through his.
"Land! He who forgets glory in his
eagerness for property deserves the
curse of Thor!"
"Prepare yourself, then, for a thun

voice spoke up suddenly
None but had forgotten the red

turned over his shoulder a face that

bitterness to leave any room for fear.

it did not matter what happened. Her I

He lay there laughing after the othefs

was not entirely sober the next time
he turned it toward her.
Yet when he had risen a change
came into his voice that brought every
man to his feet. "XVe will make ready

CHAPTER XIII.
The Sword cf Speech.
No holiday finery cricked out the
Danish host where it squatted along
the Severn Valley that dreary Octo
ber day, neither festal cables nor
dimpling women nor even the gay
striped tents.
Of all the multitude of flags nt one
banner pricked the murky air the
Raven standard that marked the head
quarters of the king: and its sodden
folds distinguished nothing more regal
than a shepherd's wattled cote. Scat
tered dumps of trees offered the
weary men their only protection
against the drizzling rain; and the
sole suggestions of comfort were the
sickly fires that pacent endeavor had
managed to coax into life in these
retreats. Some, whom exhaustion had
robbed even of a flre-tender's ambi
tion, had dropped down on the very
spot where they had slipped from
their saddles, and slept, cloak-wrapped,
in the wet. And the circles about
the Ares were not much noisier.
Rothgar's face gathered gravity as --,CiC """T " . ,- w I-

"And look about as much like war-. remember-; and once more lay stamxg
riors who have got a victory," the
child cf Frode added wonderingly.
But tie son of Lodbrok was already
leading his men down the hillside to
ward the point where the silken ban
ner mocked at wattled walls.
Under the thatched roof of the hut
a still more striking contrast awaited
the eyes of those who entered. With
a milking-stool far his table and the
shepherd's rude bunk for a throne, the
young King of the Danes was bending
in scowling meditation over an open
scroIL At the sight of him the girl's
heart started and shook like a harp
string under the touch of the master;
and Rothgar. the stolid, the stern, who
had cosse to upbraid, bowed reverently
as he grasped the hand his leader
stretched out.
"King, I would not have kept away
had I guessed that my sword weald

be useful to you- It was my belief
that you were entertaining yourself
with getting property in Mercia. else
would I have left all to come to you."
Canute half pressed the huge paw
i and then half spurned it. "It was in
my mind to gi- you a great scolding
when I got you again. You must have
gotten yourself fitted out for the rest
J of your life since at last you were
willing to leave."
"Lord." Rothgar began, "I have come
back to you as poor as I weat "
But the King interrupted him. as
at that moment, in the figure hesitat
ing at the door, he recognized his miss
inz ward. "Say rot so, when you have
brought back the bright blade we
mourned as lost!" He put out his
you.'
As she stood there watching him.
Randalin had been undergoing a
strange transformation. For four
months she had almost forgotten his
existence, he had been little more than
an empty name, while she gave every
energy of mind and heart to the
things about her. But now, behold!
One sight of his life-full face, one
moment of his dominating presence,
and those months were swept into the
land of dreams. His deeds alone ap
peared vital; he alone seemed reaL
She. the Etheling himself, were but
as shadows depending upon his sun
like career. If he should choose to
shine upon them, what dark evil
could come nigh?
It was in all sincerity that Randalin
bent her knee as she took his hand.
"Lord." she cried impulsively, "I have
brought you back a loyal heart! I
have been very close to the English
king, and he is unworthy to hold your
sword."
Canute gave a sudden laugh; but it
was a short one. and he turned away
abruptly to begin a restless pacing to
and fro. Pausing before Rothgar, he
jerked his head toward the scroll.
"Do you know what that is? That Is
a challenge from the Ironside."
"A challenge?" his listeners cried in
chorus.
He seemed to take petulant offence
at their surprise. "A challenge. Did
you never hear the word before, that
you stare like oxen? He invites me
to settle this affair by single combat
Every one who has a man's wit is
tired of the strife: and if we con
tinue at it, there will not be much to
win besides ashes and bones. The
host is full of impatience: and I am
weary unto madness. Never do we
come to any end. nor ever shall until
that time when the wolf shall catch

Even Randalin uttered a cry: and

as thought to snatch him out of bodily
peril.
"Only one way would be 'possible.
Canute! Your waist is not so big as
one of his arms. His sword would
cleave you as if it cut water"
I Half laughing, but more resentful,
the King freed himself. "Now do you
1 hold my power so lishtly? More than
once have I gotten under your guard.
If skill could accomplish anything, you
t would not have to wait long for what
' I should fix upon." He broke off with
a shrug and flung hinfself back upon
the straw of the bunk. "Let us speak
of something else," he said. "What
did the boy say about having seen Ed
mund?" Somewhat ramblingly, as uncertain
of his interest. Randalin told him of
her glimpse of the Ironside; and he
listened, lying back on the straw, his
eyes fixed on the ceiling. She had be
gun to think he had forgotten her,
when all at once he shot out a swift
question: "Did you never find out
what the wool was that Edric Jarl ,

at tne ceiling m silence.
He did not appear to notice it when
she stopped; the pause lasted so long
that Rothgar concluded that sleep had
overtaken their host and rose softly
to beta&e himself to such, cheer as
the fires offered. As he made the
first step, however, Canute sat up sud
denly, striking his fist upon the bunk.
"I will do it!" he said. While they
stared, he rose and recommenced his
hurried pacing, his eyes keen and far
away, his mouth set in grim resolve.
"Do what. King?" the son of Lod
brok ventured at last.
Canute's eyes appeared to rest upon
the pair without seeing them. "Ac
cept the challenge," he answered ab
sently. Then the utter horror ia both
faces brought him momentarily back.
"You need aot look like that. I would
not do it if I did not see a
to win. There are other weapon thaa
1 those which dwell im sheaths.'
1 "But if you lose?" Rothgar's aaram
' voice was discordant with estotiOB.
i "If you lose?"
The Kins silenced him impatieatly.
"I do not think I shall lose; hut if it
be- otherwise, then Fate will role it- I
prefer to risk everything rather than
to experience more delay." Catching
the bewildered page by the collar, he
pushed him toward the door. "Run,
boy. with all the speed of your legs,
and find Ingimund the Swimmer and
fetch him here. And you. foster-brother,
if. my fame is important to you. do
you betake yourself to those dumpish
oafs around the fires and try. by any
means whatever, to remedy their faint
heartedness. Ask them if they want
the host across the river to think them
turned into a herd of weeping bond
women. Ask them if they think thus
to show honor to their King: Tell
them that I take it as no proof of
their love; that I will have none of
that hairing faith which, limps up with
a great cry after the show is over.
Tell them Oh, tell them anything you
think worth while only that you get
some noise out of them! Evil will
come ot it if the Englishman is al
lowed to believe that he has beaten us
before ever he has struck a blow."
Rothgar sighed as he moved for
ward. "I am very unfit to speak words
of cheerfulness to anybody but this
shall, like other things, be as vou
wish."

WHY REFORM IS SLOW.
One of the Obstacles That Prevent
Coming of the Millenium.
"Why," demanded the lady who de
sired to have the world reformed,
"should we have two standards of
morality? Why should there be one
rule of conduct for men and another
for women? Tell me that! ffag a
man any more right to be received
by society after he does wrong than
a woman has? Answer me these
questions, and I will give you the key
to the gate that shuts us off from the
millennium. The world forgives a
man for the very thing it condemns
a woman for. I demand equality. In
the name of reason, I cry out against
this wrong. Let us judge by one
code. Let us be fair to both, sides by
showing favor to neither.
"Very well," replied her meek little
husband, "I'm willing. By the way.
I understand that Tom Hanley and
Mrs. Grassington. who got themselves
so much talked about on account of
that affair they were mixed up in at
the Arlington last winter are to be at
the Rudmore house party next week."

say the Rudmores would insult me
by inviting that woman there while
I'm their guest? If she comes I won't

A Straight Tip.
Donald Foster Lloyd, one of the
local officials of the Postal Telegraph
company, overheard a conversation
the other day between two messen
ger boys that made him smile. One
of the lads was a very dirty looking
specimen. His badge was tarnished,
his shoes were badly run over and
almost worn out and his uniform
was frayed and covered with dust.
The other youngster was somewhat
the worse for wear as far as his gar
ments were concerned, but he was
brushed up a bit. and he wore a
somewhat soiled but very high col
lar, set off by an exceedingly loud
necktie.
"You'd better watch out." he said
to the first boy, "or the dog-catcher
aill get you."
The dirtiest urchin's inquiry as to
why he need fear the collector of
canines brought this retort: "Be
cause you hain't got no collar on."

Puff of Fame.
Justice Brewer is from Kansas, and
his state is justifiably proud of him.
Soon after his elevation to the su
preme bench a cigar manufacturer in
Topeka dedicated a 10-cent "domestic"
cigar to the jurist, named it "Our Jus
tice." and on the cover of each box
pasted a portrait of Mr. Brewer.
A few years ago the justice was in
Topeka on a business trip. The hotel
clerk recosmized him. and the negrc
bell boy, although he had no idea whe
the newcomer was, knew from the
way he was ordered about that the pa
tron was of some consequence. Going
up in the elevator the negro stared
constantly at the tall, dignified man.
Suddenly the black face was
wreathed in smiles, and the boy said:
" 'Scuse me, boss, but ain't yflu de
gemmen dat invented dem 'Ouah Jes
tice' cigars'"

was recalling famous persons whe

A Book Infinite.
There is a young German teacher
in the West who thinks city children
are easier to teach than country chil
dren, in spite of the fact that most of
our great men have come from the
rural districts.
One day she spent an hour in de
fining several words. Among thea
was the word "infinite." After her
long explanation she asked finally:
"Now. who caa give me a sentence
with the word 'infinite' in it, and ex
plain why?"
A small boy's hand went up. At a
nod from the teacher he arose, hold
ing up a paper book, and said:
"This book is infinite because it is
unbounded."

TO SINK OR SAVE.
Britain Gets Reply to
Scare
sentation.
ST. PETERSBURG The Russian,
reply to Great Britain's representa
tions oa the subject of the British
steamer the Knight Commander,
sunk by the Vladivostok squadron,
while couched in the friendliest terms,
does not recede from the Russian po
sition as set forth in the prize regu
lations in regard to the exercise of
the right to destroy neutral vessels
carrying contraband in cases of
emergency, reserving the question for
discussion after the war.
At the same time Russia assures
Great Britain that the extreme re
source to sinking neutral vessels, as
announced, will not be resorted to
unless circumstances render it impos
sible to take them to a prize court.
Great Britain's proposal that the
British steamer, the Allenton. cap-:
tared Juyne 18 by the Vladivostok?
squadron, be lieberated upon the de
posit of security, has not been accept
ed, Russia replying that the docu
ments in this case are already on their
way to St. Petersburg and will have
to be submitted to the admiralty court
before further action is taken.
Russia has formally notified the
United States of the decision of the
prize court in the case of the Port
land and Asiatic line steamer, the
Arabia, captured by the cruiser Grom
oboL of the Vladivostock squadron,
but the statement from Vladivostok on
the subject leaves some doubt as to
whether all the goods consigned to
Japanese ports were declared contra
band or only the flour and railroad
materiaL The Russian government
manifested a friendly disposition in
suggesting its readiness to entertain
an appeal
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learned later that noth&g was
confiscated in the cargo of the Arabia,
which was not designated as contra
hand in the Russian declaration.
The Russian reply in the case of
the Knight Commander points out
that the prize regulations under which
Russia is acting were promulgated
nine years ago, and that Great Bnt-in
did not enter a protest until after the
nresent war began.

Condemns Flannels.
Dr. Leonard Williams, in an article
in the London Practitioner, declares
that flannel underclothing is a fraud.
"Dry flannel," hesays, "is practically
unabsorbent, whereas linen, cotten
and silk are, in different degrees, very
absorbent." He concludes that "wool
en underclothing Is. of all others, the
best calculated to Induce a relaxed
and unresponsive condition of the
skin."

Cheerfulness and Grumbling.
How many people in real life there
are who are a pernetual drain on the
sympathies of their more cheerful
friends and neighbors! They like to
be comforted with strong, uplifting
words; they appreciate cheerfulness
in others. It does not occur to
tfiem that it is a cultivable quality,
hist as grumbling is.
Corn Birds Will Not Bother.
A well known farmer says he wets
his seed corn with coal oil before
planting it. and as a result the birds
and insects do not bother it before it
comes up. The oil does not injure
the germ and keep it from sprouting.
This has been proved by e-penence.

Training of Japanese Wrestlers.
In the place of training to remove

with their agility. Instead it is one
of the principal means of overcom

JUST ONE DAY
Free From the Slugger Brought Out
a Fact.
"During the time I was a coffee
drinker," says an Iowa woman, "I wa3
nervous, had spells with my heart,
smothering spells, headache, stom
ach trouble, liver and kidney trouble.
I did not know for years what made
me have those spells. I would fre
quently sink away as though my last
hour had come.
"For 27 years I suffered thu3 and
used bottles of medicine enough to set
up a drug store capsules and pills
and everything I heard of. Spent
lots of money but I was sick nearly
all the time. Sometimes I was so
nervous I could not hold a plate in
my hands! and other times I thought
I would surely die sitting at the table.
"This went on until about two years
ago when one day I did net use any

He had been telling me that it might
be the coffee but I said 'No, I have
been drinking coffee all my life and
it cannot be' But after this I thought
I would try and do without and drink
hot water. I did this for several days.
but got tired of the hot water and
went to drinking coffee and as soon
as I began coffee again I was nervous
again. This proved that it was the
coffee that caused my troubles.
"We had tried Postum but had not
made it right and did not like it. but
now I decided to give it another trial
so I read the directions on the pack
age carefully and made it after these
directions and it was simply delicious,
so we quit coffee for good and the re
sults are wonderfuL Before, I could
not sleep but now I go to bed and
sleep sound, am not a bit nervous
now, but work hard and can walk
miles. Nervous headaches are gone.
my heart does not bother me any
more like it did and I don't have any
of the smothering spells and would
you believe it? I am getting fat. We
drink Postum now and nothing else
and even my husband's headaches
have disappeared; we both sleep
sound and healthy now anL that's a
