A WAY OPEN.

Many a Rensselaer Reader Knows It Well. There is a way open to convince the greatest skeptic. Scores of Rensselaer people have made it possible. The' public statement 9f their experience is proof the like of which has never been produced before In Rensselaer. Read this case of it given by

a citizen: Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., Rensselaer, Ind., says: "In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney * medicine on the market I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always received prompt relief. Three years ago I first began their use and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. + I was so’ well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement Tor publication recommending them in the spring of 1907. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig's Drug Store and given a trial. Different members of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

(Chapter 111 Continued.) All at once the tenor of the terse dispatches changed; a fact of which the operator’s next words gave explanation. “Rush to New York Inquirer, New York City, U. S. A. Collect. Greatest catastrophe of modern times. Entire kingdom in panic. Whole cities have disappeared beneath waters; marine underwriters ruined wholesale. Famous firms whose losses will touch million mark: Blake & Blackwell, Liverpool; Cogge&hall & Whipple, Ireland; McAllister & McMasters, Scotland—” “McAlister —that’s the man I’m after!” cried Captain Glenney unexpectedly. “Hold on, young man. I want to hear about McAlister!!” “Get McAlister!” he shouted, and struck his fist upon the shelf. “England and Scotland —I don’t care a rap for England and Scotland! They can go to the devil if Sandy gets what’s coming to him. It’s Sandy I want to hear about —Sandy, I tell you. I want to know what’s happened to him, the slab-sided, knock-kneed tadpole! ‘Til* teach him to go picking quarrels with honest men—l’ll—damn your eyes,- man, get him on the wire, will you? Tell him it was Bill Glenney that cursed him and his bally wharves that he’s so proud of—if they have gone to the pot iCe me he can thank for it—me! I’ll give him what-for; I’ll- •”

He stopped, panting, a hand clutching at his collar. His outbreak had been so unexpectedly sudden and so violent, withal so apparently wholly without cause or reason, that men merely stared at him in alarmed silence, without time to interpose. They began to draw away, farther back into the room, leaving him alone before the windoW. “He’s mad!” some one in the crowd muttered fearfully. “Poor devil —it’s •been too much for him ” But instantly the captain whirled around upon the speaker, who hastily withdrew into the shelter, of the crowd as a snail draws back into its dhell. “I am not mad!” he cried in a blind rage. “You fool, don’t you know a madman when you see him? Go to thunder —and quit butting in!”

He turned again to the window and g£pok his fist in the face of the operator, who was coming toward him. do as I tell you, you mullhead, or I’ll make you sweat for tihis.” The operator brought his face close to the window and glared through at the captain who glared back. “If you weren’t such a braying ass,” he shouted above Captain Glenney’s angry voice, “you’d lhave heard what I’m telling you—that word has just come in that the property of this McAllister man has been completely wiped out along the water-front ” Captain Glenney threw back his head with a yell of triumphant laughter. “Aha, ye old devil! I said so! I knew it! It serves you damned well right, and I’m glad 4 of it. I hope every stick and stiver of it has gone- ” Over his head the operator appealed to the men behind him. “Get some more about McAllister!” he demanded. “How much has he lost? Where is he ” A sudden sound from without broke his speech in the middle; a cry that was -taken up by voice after voice until it swelled into a scream which cut through the night like a knife. A moment’s paralysis of suspense held the roow spellbound. Then as iihough galvanized Into sudden action, each man turned and without a word, dashed from the room—each man save the captain and the operators behind the window. Something had happened—that was very plain, hut what it was apparently did not concern the. captain in the least. “Message for Captain William Glenney, St Johns, Newfoundland,” the operator announced curtly. The captain did his best to climb through the window. “That’s me—gimme quick!” he cried forcibly if ungrammatically. “McAlister went for Minna Glenney at Lancaster, knowing your alarm. Caught in flood. Both dr—— The voice broke off in the midst of stunned silence. “What’s that—Minna!— My God! drowned!” cried the captain. His voice grew shrill with sudden agony. “Both drowned! Go on, man—why do

yob stop? What else does it say-—oh, go on, can’t you?” “There’s something wrong!” exclaimed the operator. His face dhanged to swift apprehension. “The wire’s blocked somewhere —there’s no more coming through ” “You lie!” cried Captain Glenney furiously. “You’re afraid to tell me—you’re trying to hold it back. My little tyke over there in all that hell—” He struck his hands together like a man gone suddenly insane and ripped out an path which made even the operator stare. “You’re blocking it —that wire will work if you make It wprk! Give me my message, or I’ll——” Even on his words there came a crackling report, a shout from the operator, and the room was plunged into dense, blinding, smothering darkness. Instantly followed another and louder report, ear-splitting in its explosion, and a flash of light,—that showed for one moment the faces of the men, white with fear, staring from a background of inky blackness. Then the light went out and the blackness swallowed up the staring faces. But out of it -there rose a voice, keen in its agony of reproach, hurling bitter self-reproach and frenzied curses into the reeling darkness. “She’s there—my little gel’s there In all that hell, and res my fault! I never dreamed she would be in danger—it’s the Lord’s judgment on me for a sinner! “I cursed him. I said I hoped to God his wharves Ihe was so proud of would slide into the sea and be destroyed. They, are destroyed—the curse is fulfilled —and it’s come back upon my own head! It’s all my fault—my fault, I say!”The voice rose abruptly into screaming. “Every shilling’s worth of damage done, every life lost, hr through my fault. I’m to blame —the curse has come back to me, for Minna’s tih€sfe — the little'tyke is caught in it as well as he, and I’m punished—oh, my God. I’m punished^”

His voice dropped on the last words to a husky whisper. “He’s mad!” some one muttered from the darkness. “Switch on a light somewhere, can’t you? llhis is hell!” An incandescent wag flashed up from behind the partition and the room jumped into the light. The captain stood in the middle of the room, shaking from head to foot. His face was congested with blood and his blue eyes were wide with horror. Through the door of the partition came the operator and an assistant, white-faced, but ready for trouble. The captain looked at the operator and laughed. But the laughter turned suddenly to a groan and a curse; he flung his hands before his face and before the two could stop him, staggered out the open doorway into the night. And in that instant came a rapid clicking, nervous and insistent, from behind the partition. Before the two men could move, the third yelled at them through the window. “Stop him —it’s the; rest of his message—‘dragged to safety at risk of rescuers’ lives McAllister financially ruined. Ridwell, clerk.’” The operator made a dash for the key. “Find him, one of you—he’ll kill himself before he knows the truth.”

One of the men ran out of the room in the direction the captain had taken. To the two left the wait seemed endless. The man who had left to search for the captain came back on the run. “I can’t find him,” he gasped. “I’m afraid hd’s made away with himself. A lantern—quick!"’ The operator, limp and nerveless, dropped into a chair and drew his sleeve across his forehead. “God!” *he exclaimed with a deep breath of utter exhaustion. , ✓ (To Be Continued.)
