Case, living at 604 Russell street Decatur, Ind., says: “In 1902 I gave for publication a statement recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, because they had cured my little girl. She had been troubled for fifteen or twenty months with her back and whenever she caught a slight cold, it always settled in her back. She was i constantly complaining of a dull aching pain crer her kidneys. I gave her several remedies that were highly recommended for such trouble but they gav.<> little relief.

STORYWELL TGLD A LIST OF OWE HUNDRED UF THE GREATEST BOOKS the world has ever produced. THE LIST IS HEADED BY “THE BIBLE” and well towards the head is the greatest of all romantic novels ever written, ALEXANDER DUMAS’ “MONTE CRISTO.” IT IS FROM THIS SPLENDIDLY WRITTEN ROMANCE that the stirring romantic melodrama cf the same name was dramatized. This famous work appeared in 1844 and may be said to have excited more universal interest then any romance since Robinson Crusoe or Wavetly. THE EXTRAORDINARY COLOR, THE NEVER FLAGGING SPIRIT, the endless surprises, and the air of nature which is cast over even the most extravagant situations make this play worthy of the popularity it has enjoyed in almost every country of the world. IT IS SELDOM. IF EVER. THAT AN ADAPTATION FUR STAGE PRESENTATION EXCEEDS IN POPULARITY AND GENERAL FAVOR THaTGF THE NOVEL .TSELF. However, that ic the case with ONE! “Monte Cristo” which has had the most solid success of any book play known to theatrical history.

The play, which is in five acts, is provided with a complete scenic investiture and the costuming is correct and in accordance with the period of the play. The trade mark established Iv theraaiugement is “YOUR MONEY’S WORTH OR YOUR MONEY BACK” so the public takes no chances when this sterling play is presented here. It is not often that a theatrical company Visiting this city, will, as an evidence of good faith, give a public guarantee as to the excellence of the atti action, but Fred G.

FRIDAY 13th

rne enect upon Barry Conant was different from that of Bob’s last bid on the day when Beulah Sands' hopes went skyward in dust It did not rouse in him the wild, furious desire for the onslaught that he showed then, but seemed to quicken his alert, prolific mind to exercise all its cunning. I think that in that one moment Barry Conant recalled his suspicion* of the day before, when he had wondered what Bob’s presence in the crowd meant and that he saw again the picture of Bob on the day when he himself had ditched Bob's treasuretrain. He hesitated for just the fraction of a second, while he waved with llghtiing-Mke rapidity a set of finger signals to his lieutenants. Then ha squared himself for the encounter. ”25 for 5,000.” Cold, cold as the voice of a condemning judge rang Bob’s “Sold.” “25 for 5,000.” “Sold.” "25 for 5,000." “Sold.” Their eyes were fixed upon each other, |n Barry’s a des slant glare, in Bob’s mingled pity and pentempt The rqst of the brokers hushed their own bids and offers until it could have truthfully been said that the floor of the stock exchange was quiet, an almost unheard-of thing in like circumstances. Again Barry Conant's voice, ”25 for 5,000." “Sold." "25 for 5,000.” “Sold.” Barry Conant had met his master. Whether it was that for the first time in all his wonderful career he realized that the "system” was to meet its Nemesis, or what the cause, none could tell, perhaps not even Barry Conant himself, but some emotion caused his olive face for an instant to turn pale, and give his voice a tell-tale quiver. Once more pealed forth ”25 for 5.000 ” That Bob saw the pallor, that he caught the quiver, was evident to all, for the instant his “sold” rang out, he followed It with 5,000 at H, 23, 22. 20.” Neither Barry Conant nor any of his lieutenants got in a “take it;” although whether they wanted to or not was an open question until Bob allowed his voice to dwell just like a pendulum swing of time on the 20. It was as if he were tantalizing them into sticking by their guaa. By the time he paused, Barry Conant’s serve was back, for his piercing "Take it” had linked to it "20 for any part of $10,000.” The bit! was yet on hl* lips when Bob’s deep voice rang out "Sold." Any part of 26,000 at 19, 18, 15, 10.” Hell was now loose Back and forth, up against the rail, around the room and back and around again, the crowd surged for 15 of the wildest, craziest minutes in the history of the New York stock exchange, a history replete with records of wild and crazy scenes.

At last from sheer exhaustion there came a ten minutes’ lull, which was used in comparing trades. At the beginning of the respite Sugar was selling at 155, for in that quarter hour of madness it had broken from 210 to 155, but when the ten minutes had elapsed, the stock had worked back to 167. Barry Conant had again taken the center of the crowd, after hastily scanning the brief notes handed him by messenger-boys and giving orders to his lieutenants. He had evidently received reenforcements in the form of renewed orders from his principals. Many of the faces that fringed the inner circle of that crowd were frightful to look upon, some white as though just lifted from hospital pillows, others red to the verge of apoplexy—all strained as though awaiting the coming of the jury with a life or death verdict They all knew that Bob had sold more than a hundred thousand shares of Sugar upon which the profits must be more than $4,000,000. Would he resume selling, or was he through? Was it short stock, which must be bought back, or long stock; and if long, whose stock? Were the insiders selling out on one another, or were they all selling together, and under cover of Barry Conant’s movements were Camemeyer and “Standard Oil” emptying their bag preparatory to the slaughter of the Washington contingent? All these questions were rushing through the heads of that crowd of brokers like steam through a boiler, now hot, now cold, but always at high pressure, for upon the correctness of the answer depended the fortune of many who breathlessly awaited the renewal or the suspension of the contest. Even Barry Conant's usually impassive face wore a tinge of anxiety. Indeed, Bob was the only ‘one in the center of that throng that showed no sign of what was going on behind IL The same cynical smile that had been there since the opening still played around the corners of his mouth as he squared himself in front of his opponent. All knew now that he was not through. Barry Conant had evidently decided to force the fighting, although more cautiously than before. “67 for a thousand." One of his lieutenants bid 67 for 500, another 67 for 300, and as Bob had not yet shown his intention of meeting their bids, 67 for different amounts was heard all over the house. Bob might have been tossing a metal coin to decide the advisability of buying baek what he had sold; he might have been adding up the bids as they were made. He said nothing for a fraction of a minute, which to those tortured men must have seemed like an age. Then with a wave of his hand, as though delivering a benediction, be ewept the circle with a cold-blooded: “Sold the lota. 5,600 in all.’’ “Sixty-seven for a thousand" —again Barry Conant's bld. “Sold ” “67 for IJrtt.” “gold.” “66 for a thousand."

‘•Sold." The drop from (M# o “J n ° t °° ! and a dollar a share 4 bßt bids was the mortauy Re still game s S d gs : crowd* 3 all but | SXb’s 8 - roX of attack meant Sse h w h : a had he bern D hanging on to their stock hoping against hope, and on and sell more for greater profits, tremJndXamouL Tsugar stock in the hands of Washington aoricesat speculation and of others who had bought it at high prices. Sugar was now dropping two. three, five dollars a share between trades, and th* panic was spreading to the other poles, as I is always the case, for when there are sudden large losses in one stock, the losers must throw over the other stocks they hold to meet their loss, and thus the whole structure tumbles like a house of cards. Sugar had just ' crossed 110 when the loud bang of the president’s gavel resounded through the room. Instantly there was a alienee as of death. All knew the meaning of the sound, the most ominous ever beard in a stock change, calling for the temporary suspension of business while the president announces the failure of some member or house. PERKIN 3, BLANCHARD A CO. Announce that They Cannot Meet Their Obligations. This statement that one of the oldest houses had been swamped in the crash Bob had started caused further frantic selling, and, as though every member had employed the lull to refill his lungs, a howl arose that pealed and wailed to the dome. I watched Bob closely; in fact, it was impossible for me to take my eyes off him; he seemed absolutely unmindful of the agonizing shrieks about him, for the frenzied brokers were no longer crying their bids or offers, but screaming them. He still continued relentlessly to hammer Sugar, offering it in thousands and tens of thousand lots. Again and again the gavel fell, and again and again an announcement of failure was followed by blood-curdling howls. When Sugar struck 80 —not 180, but plain 80—it seemed that the last day of stock speculation was at hand. Announcements were being made every few minutes of the failure of this bank, the closing of the doors of that trust company. Where would it end? What power could stop this Niagara of molten dollars? Suddenly above the tumult rose Bob Brownley’s voice. He must have been standing on his tiptoes. His hands were raised aloft. He seemed to tower a head above the mob. His voice was still clear and unimpaired by the terrible strain of the past two hours. To that mob it must have sounded like the trumpet of the delivering angel. “80 tor any part of 25,000 Sugar.” Instantly Sugar was hurled at him from all sides of the crowd. He was the only buyer of the moment who had appeared since Sugar broke 125. Barry Conant and his lieutenants had disappeared like snowflakes at the opening of the door of the firebox of a locomotive speeding through the storm. In a few seconds Bob bad been sold all the 25,000 he had bid for. Again his voice rang out; ”80 for 25,000." The sellers momentarily halted. He got only a few thousand of his 25. “85 for 25,000.” A few thousand more. "90 for $25,000.” Still fewer thousands. His bidding was beginning to tell on the mob. A cry ran through the room into the crowds around the poles: | “Brownley has turned!" —and taking i renewed courage at the report, the bulls rallied their forces and began to bid for the different stocks, which a moment before it had seemed that ’ no one wanted at any price. In a chip of a minute the whole I scene changed; there was almost as wild a panic on the up side as there had been on the down. Bob Brownley continued buying Sugar until he had pushed it above 150. He then went abount tallying up his trades. At the end of ten minutes' calculation he returned to the center and bought 11,000 shares more; coming out, his eye caught mine. “Jim, have you been here long?” “An eternity. I was here at the opening and l pray God never to put me through another two hours like the past two. It seems a hideous dream, a nightmare. Bob, in the same of God, what have you been doing?”

He gave me a wild, awful look of exultation. Sublime triumph shone In those blazing brown orbs, triumph such as I had never seen in the eyes of man. ' Jim Randolph, I have been giving Wall street and its hell‘system’a dose of its own poison, a good full-measure dose They planned by harvesting a fresh crop of human hearts and souls the bull side to give Friday the 13th a new meaning.

A moment and I came to. Something urged Be to follow him. CHAPTER VI. ’ I passed through my office a few

minutes Cater I heard 'Bob’s voice tn Beulah Sands’ office. It was raised In passionate eloquence. “Yes, Beulah, I have done It singlehanded. I have crucified Camemeyer, ‘Standard Oil,’ and the ‘system’ that spiked me to the cross a few weeks ago. You have three millions, and I have seven. Now there is nothing more but for you to go home to your father, and then come back to me. Back to me, Beulah, back to me to be my wife!” He stopped. There was no sound. I waited; then, frightened, I stepped to the door of Beulah Sands’ office. Bob was standing just inside the threshold, where he had halted to give her the glad tidings. She had risen from her desk and was looking at him with an agonized stare He seemed to be transfixed by her look, the wild ecstasy of the outburst of love yet mirrored In his eyes. She was just saying as I reached the door: "Bob, in mercy's name tell me you got this money fairly, honorably.” Bob must have realized for the first time what he had done. He did not speak. He only stared into her eyes. She was now at his side. “Bob, you are unnerved,” she said; “you have been through a terrible ordeal. For an nour I have been reading in the bulletins of the banks and trust companies that have failed, of the banking houses that have been ruined. I have been reading that you did it; that you have made millions—and I knew it was for me, for father, but in the midst at my joy, my gratitude, my love —for, oh, Bob, I love you,” she interrupted herself passionately; “it seems as though Hove you beyond the capacity of a human heart to love. I think that for the right to be yours for one single moment of this life I would smilingly endure all the pains and miseries of eternal torture. Yes, Bob, for the right to have you call me yours for only while 1 heard the words, I would do anything, Bob, anything that was honorable." 3he had drawn his head down close to her face, and her greet blue eyes searched his as though they would go to his very soul. She was a child in her simple appeal for him to allow her to see his heart, to see that ther* was nothing black there. As she gazed her beautiful hands played through his hair as do a mother's through that of the child she is soothing in. sickness. (To be continued next Saturday.)

uplift and encouragement to the local church. Every department has been strengthened numerically and financially. The members and friends of the church have sacrificed heroically and labored in harmonious loyalty to raise the standard of the churches character and sentiment in the interest of the public welfare and the extension of Christ’s kingdom, with marvelous success. There has been nothing to mar the pleasant relations of pastor and people that ordinary intelligence could not readily dismiss. The good people of Union Chapel have manifested a spirit of hearty co-opera-tion and missionary enterprise in church support, and the indications are that the coming year will find them on advanced ground. The pastor bids adieu to the year’s work and the happy associations, to attend the sessions of the Annual Conference at Fulton, which will convene Wednes day morning at nine o'clock, with mingled feelings of gratitude and pastoral affection to the congregation and the public. The will of presiding officers is better understood after the report of the stationary committee is read. Until then, the anticipated; change need not evoke the final farewell- It is the urgent desire of the pastor that all attend the closing services. D. B. Kessinger, Pastor.
