their work.
Pains, aches andrheu- '
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to nerlected !
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as thouch
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
cver-working in pumping thick, kidney-
poisonea oiooa tnrougn veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys.
but now modern science proves that nearly
ill constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
II you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its

CUT RATES
Bj KAUGE SUTIiERLAKD CLARKE.
(Copyright, 1900. ky lladfe Sutherland Clarke.
Jack Corluars turuoJ aluwly away
from the tloor of tUo cut rate ticket of
fice ia Savannah, lie bad stakod all
he had on a venture and lost, and now
he wanted to get back to New York.
There at least was life, and If he was
to starve he preferred to do It where
he might gain some amusement during
the process. Bi-sldea, ia New York the
unexpected was alwars likely to hap
pen, and chance and change were Uie
only gods on his altar. Tbe day be
fore he had pawned his watch, his
leather valise and his superfluous
clothing. This morning, after paying
his hotel bill he had Just $8 left In his
pocket. The regular fare to New Yuri;
by boat was $20,4 by rail 132. The
scalper's ollire could do little holler fur
him.
He itared for a moment at the big
blue letter! on Hie window of the of
fice, then turned on his heel. As lie
did so a tliirUset men with n red face
and a light overcoat came out of the
ticket office. He clapped Corlcars. fa
miliarly on the back.
"See here." be said, "I heard you nsU
Ing about cut rates to New York. If
you've got nerve enough to take I lie
chances on this, I'll sell It for $.1 ami
what cigars you've got about you." He
held up a long, somewhat soiled rail
way ticket, much stamped and COSOter
tamped In blue and red Ink. "I bought
It of a fellow in New York last Week
for $10. He said It was a sijimr re
turn ticket from Savannah tliat he
hadn't used because he went to Texas
first. I've truck an easy ihlng here,
bo I'm going to stay and don't want It."
Corlcars looked attentively at the
ticket. It was a rather dubious look
ing affair, but the lowest slip was
marked Savannah and the uppermost
one New York. It was a chance, and
be seized It.
"All right." he said.
"If you've got gall enough, you'll
work It. I guess you'll have to bluff
some, but you're a swell looking chap,
and that'll help."
Corlears gave him $3 and drew three
cigars from his pocket 'They're all I
have about me, but they're good ones."
"I'll leave you one for luck." said the
red faced man. "So long!"
Corlears stood for an Instant making
his plans. Then h walked to the
pawnshop and redeemed bis valise. By
means of some newspapers aud a few
tones he added the necessary weight;
then he lunched, bought a clean collar
and strolled to the station. When Cor
lears stepped on the north bound train
that evening, two porters vied for the
honor of carrying his valise.
"Pullman dls way, sahT
"Smoker," said Corlears sententtons-
ly.
When the conductor made his first
round, Corlears banded him his tleket
without looking up from his paper.
Tbe man glanced casually at it: then
examined It carefully. After that he
took a long look at Corlears, who ob
served him In the mirror opposite.
"Where did you buy this ticket T he
asked.
"In Savannah, of course," said Cor
lears carelessly.
"When?"
"This afternoon."
He took the tleket away with him.
Through the glass door Corlears could
see hlui In earnest colloquy with a
brakeman. At last he returned.
"There Is something crooked about
this ticket, sir."
Corlears looked Incredulous. "What
do you mean by that?" he asked
sharply.
"Well, tho road hasn't Issued that
kind of excursion ticket since the 1st
of November. It was good for 00 days,
you know." Tbe conductor's tone was
almost apologetic.
"Look at the date. I should say that
would settle It" Corlears looked bored.
"Well, we think the date's been al
tered. The 0 has been changed to a 1,
making the date January Instead of
September.
Corlears scrutinized the ticket. "I
see no evidence of It," be said coldly.
"However, It's no affair of mine. I
bought tho ticket and paid for It; the
road Is responsible."
He turned to his paper. The con
ductor shifted uneasily and finally
turned away.
"The plot thickens," Corlears said lo
himself. "Anyhow, I am two hours
nearer New York than I was In Sa
vannah." He went to sleep. At 10
o'clock the train ran Into Columbia,
where a new conductor came on. In
about an hour Corlears saw him ap
proach, though he pretended to be still
asleep. The new man was very direct
In his methods.
"Look here!" he said, shaking Cor
lears by tne arm. "This ticket won't
gor
"I guess It will go as far as New
York," be returned easily, "and then
I'll see Mr. Howson and tell him he's
got some fool conductors on this end of
the line."
'There's no use In bluffing," the man
growled. "Either you've been taken
In yourself or you're trying to fool us.
Somebody's trying to beat the road
out of a fare, and I tell yon It won't
go with me."
Corlears looked the man up and
down. "What do you propose to do
about It?" he asked contemptuously.
"Either collect tbe fare or put you
off."
Corlears looked him squarely la the
eyes. "You'll do neither," he said. "As
ft Is, you will lose your place."
"When I lose my place. It won't be
tor giving beats free rides to New
York. If you was the president's son-in-law
and had nothing better to show
for It than this her good for nothing
ticket, you'd bar to pay up or get off."
Corlears nonchalantly drew a bill
I'om his pocket lit was Ins last one)
ud held it tip to the couduetor. "Here,
keep this for yourself, aud for the
Lord's sake let me alone!"
The man's surly face lowered angri
ly. "I ain't Unit kiud," he growled
doggedly and motioned to a brakemau.
Then he raised his liaud to the cord
above his head. "I'll give you two
miuutes to deckle," he said.
A brakeuiau and a traluman Joined
the group. Corlcars si t his face lit-m-ly.
"1 guess I've had more than $3
worth out of that ticket," he thought
to himself. The Conductor looked at
him sullenly, watch lu hand.
"Well!" be growled. Theu he pulled
the cord, the train slowvd up. and Cor
letn found tllinsclt standing beside the
suewy track watching a receding natal
.u the distance. As the train moved
past him Corlears uas conscious of s
man standing tnotfenless ou the other
aide of the track, it was a iftnaolilt
Cene that lay about them. The paJ
light of u WUUlUg v inter moon fell u;
u lung wastes ni suow covered ihdds,
broken here and there by linos of
'black poplars aa defined al the mtst-
ern edge us a long siiriei. ,r woods
The two men became eua of
each other aDpnreUtly at tlif sjuiiie
uiomout. The man across the track
wore a silk ibat and lmked like a
clergyman. "You've done pretty
clever ihing." be Bald, iliNu iui; a pistol
from his pocket and taking deliberate I
aim at t 'orients, "but you doti't tiud
rue wholly unprepared."
Corlears laughed grimly. "That's
where you iiave the advantage of me.
1 admit titai l am altogether u ap re par '
ed. I throw up my hands. You'll
hardly tiuJ it worth w hile robbing me, I
however, as I've just been nut off the
train for Jack of car fare."
The man put up bis revolver. "K
com my mistake," be said politely. "I
Jumped off the train on llo other side.
I'm not a highwayman, but I took you
for something worse. ix you know
the country?" Corlears shook his bead,
"About midway between Columbia and
Chester. I should say." The man
canned him narrowly.
"What are you going to do?" be said.
Corlears set his teeth. "Walk to the
next station If I don't freeze ou the
way and after that get to New York
some way."
"Y'ou say that you have no money?"
"I've Just 12.10." There was a pause.
The man appeared to In considering.
At last he spoke.
"If jou'd like to earn $500, 1 can put
you lu the way of It."
"I should be delighted," Corlears
drawled Ironically. "1 might earn it
shoveling snow. There's a good deal
of It about."
"I'm perfectly serious." the man re
joined "Listen. You want to go to
New Y'ork; I want to koep away from
It I bought a ticket to New York, but
I left the train wiieu It slowed up to
put you off. I've er changed niy
mind."
Corlears nodded. "I see," he said.
"Very good. Y'ou are about my
height and build. Change clothes with
me, take my ticket, walk on to the next
station and board the first train for
New Y'ork. If you meet my anxious
friends and they offer yon preaatng
attentions, don't decline them on the
score of ix'ltig sumo one else."
"And then?"
The man smiled. "You will be takon
excellent care of, and you will be mst
at the Grand Central station with a
carriage Then they will discover their
mistake, and they will apologize. In
the meantime you will have got to
New York, and you will be 3O0 richer.
He counted out five crisp new $100
Mils. Corlcars saw them distinctly In
the moonlight.
"Is It a bargain?"
Corlcars trudged on In silence for a
moment "Let mo sec yonr tleket
please." The man handed It to him.
"It's good for stopovers, I see, so I
can use It all right"
The man's eyes glittered. "Do you
agree?" he said eagerly.
"Ill take the ticket" Corlears said
lowly, "and In exchange for It I'll
swap clothes with you, and I'll keep
my mouth shut until we get to New
York, but you can koep the JTS00."
"Don't Ih a fool," said the man. It
will be worth more than that to me If
It works." Corlears shook his head.
"I tried to beat the railroad company
out of a fare, I must admit" be re
plied, "bnt I usually play fair. 1
haven't made mucb of a success of tar
life, but I've lived It squarely a far.
It' habit I suppose."
Tbe man gave a kind of groan. "God
knows I wish I could say as much."
The exchange of clothing was quick
ly made. "I'm In a stovepipe hat"
Corlears said, with a laugh, "though
It's rather cold comfort In this snow
heap."
"Goodby," said tho man. and he ran
quickly off In tbe opposite direction,
his long black shadow trailing gro
tesquely after him.
The next morning when Corlears,
footsore and hungry, walked Into the
little station at Blankvtllo he found
two men there lounging by the stove.
They stood beside film at the lunch
counter, and when he finally boarded
the north bound train they entered
with blm and took the seat behind
blm. Corlears smiled to himself.
When tho train reached Charlotte, a
boy came on with the morning papers.
Corlears bought one.
"William Brand, the defaulting cash
ier of the Wlndcrton bank, has been
traced to Savannah. It la supposed that
he haa with him some $50,000 In bills
and gold. A large force of detectives
Is working on his case, and his speedy
capture Is looked for. Ho was burned
In effigy last night by the people ef
Wlnderton, many of whom are reduced
to penury through his peculations."
"I'm glad I kept clear of that $000."
Corlcars said to himself. Then he fU
asleep, for he was utterly worn ont

added to the word "dollar," making the
spurious note bear the ungranxmaticai
legend "five dollar."
