The pains from this dread ailment wire so frightful that I often became faint. Pains in my back and side from weakened kidney.- added to my misery. Frequent bladder actions made night risings recessary and disturbed my sleep. Constipation made the use of eathartir and purges almost a daily necessity. “1 started the treatment with Konjola by the purchase of four bottles. Ther were no doubts in my mind after the thiid bottle. I am a healthy, happy man today after using this great medicine until I had given it a real chance. My rheumatism lias left me entii-i ly and my kidneys are as strong as they have ever been. Cathartics are no longer necessary. I hep well at night and have gain'd wonderfully in strength and vitality. What a medicine Konjola is!” Although Konjola often works quickly’, six f eight bottles are recommended a a fair trial.

Discussing business activity, tlie review notes that railroad car loadings from the first of the yar to April 12 show f ed a decline of 7 1 per cent from last year and a drop of 3.9 per cent from tlie level two years ago, while the ton-mileage of freight hauled in the tirst two months of the current year wa- 8.1 per cent below tlie same period of last year.

are a factor in the totals. Prices on the whole have

shown little or no improvement in tlie last month and although some, recoveries have occurred, there is a rather formidable list of commodities which have touched new low figures for the year. The iron and steel induslr;. , making a good showing, bci... than

The bond market has been relatively dull and irregular this month compared with the marked diqilay of strength during March. Bond prices have shown a gradual sagging tendency and there is now evidence of a moderate accumulation of undigested issues in tlie hands of dealers.

<9MARC OFARRELL

SI sons IS Tom Allen, young plantation owner, w on /its way, unescorted, through the jungle to the prison camp. The Gomans have seized the British territory ol the East African Protectorate. Eric, the German commander, is his friend. Pawn, mystery girl. Is that same night being reluctantly initiated into pagan riles as bride of the native god Dawn and Tom are infatuated with one another. Tom has just learned that she is as white of blood as himself. Tilt he kncic this, he had been troubled. Shep, sinister whip-man, before whom the natives cringe, is in the vicinity, and intends to wreak his base passion on Dawn, who will be chained till morning.

INSTALLMENT TWELVE "Oh, have no fear of Maiunghu.” Tom urged. "Let's risk everything It's worth risking for our happiness. Isn't It?” Hut Dawn was firm In her deter mination to remain "You must not talk to me like that, my Tom," she counseled. "Tomorrow—almost now—1 am bride of Malunghu. To night I must be alone. The black god will kill you." A scornful laugh escaped Tom "Black god. Yes, a cigarettesmoking black god.” “1 don't know what you mean, Tom." said Dawn. 1 mean 1 don’t want to leave you here alone. That black flend Shep Is about somewhere." "Yes, he Is, white man." Shep’s voice sounded abruptly from the bushes, mid presently he stood forth

"H’/ip are you lirref '

In the moonlight. He moved slow ly toward Tom, hU distorted face the face of a killer. “Go where you was goin',” he snarled, “and go

quick!”

Dawn, frozen with fear, appealed

to Tom not to go.

" ’Cause Dawn and me's got to be alone," Shep continued to Tom. Ig noring Dawn. “We'se got important talk fo' each other." For answer, Tom pitched himself nr the blark man. like a football lineiu in leaping Hilo a massed play But Shop leaped nlhly aside and Tom slrurk Hie eurili with great force ami rolled forward Simp, quickly drawing bis whip from his belt, stood waiting for Tom lo rise “I'se given you warnln , ain't I?"

Then, as Tom ivu-liel his knees. Shep lashed forward with ihe whip The lash encircled the Englishman's neck, and Shep. with a quick move ment of Hie wrist, looped It into u knot that held the victim as *e curely as a lariat. Dawn screamed and pulled at the chains that bound

her

Tom. still he'd fast, was dragged toward his raptor As he atieinplod to rise and grapple with Shep, lie was suit k several blows In the lace Dizziness overran* him and he sank helpless to hli knees, the granite like fists of the Mack man heating a thunderous drum roll on him. He fought against an uncon sclousness which would have amounted lo death Dawns shrieks of terror and concern revived Ins (Lmtnlng senses He heard her rail his him*. "Tom! Tom'" she cried. "My lover, my Tom!" "1 warned you.” he could hear Shep repeat viciously, as from far away. "I warned you. You white coward. You sneaking snake. You warned lo light me when 1 didn't have no whip ” With the strength that creatures despsiaiely summon from their final resources. Tom lurched himself upward. The unexpectedness of his rise caused Shep, left off balance, to fall heavily backward. Tom. now on his feet, threw himself forcibly on the black man. But Shep was prepared. His crashing fist sank deep Into Tom's stomach and again he rolled half conscious on the

by the leg. Unbalanced, Shep was deprived of the service of bis whip and was forced to fight the whit* man on a more or less even basis Tom was, of course, still at a tremendous disadvantage, weakened almost to helplessness by the savage punishment he had already suffered. Accordingly, he decided on strictly defensive tactics. He was confident that If he might recover full use of bis senses, still somewhat dazed, be would escape the maddened jungle man. “Let him go, Shep.” begged Dawn between sobs. 'Til make him go away. Don't kill him, please, Shep. He didn't mean to come here. He got lost in the jungle. He did not know where to find Malunghu's bride." Shep upraised himself that Dawn might see his triumphant sneer. “If 1 don't kill de vermin," he told Dawn. “Malunghu will. I'se a better killer dan your god." So saying, he freed his right arm and sent his first brutally against Tom's temple. Tlie blow scored the knockout he awaited. He rose, again bound Tom with his whip, and dragged him toward the thicket that encircled the clearing. Dawn uttered a piercing cry of protest. “Bring him back, Shep, and I’ll go with you," she promised. Shep grinned with wicked pleasure. “rse cornin’ back and git you, too.” And with that threat, he vanislied beyond the trees, hauling Tom after him. Hysterically, Dakwn prayed. Hers were prayers addressed both to Malunghu and the god of the white captive being tortured In the underbrush. Mingled with her supplications were the shrill shreiks of rage and pain which assailed her from the underbrush. The clanking chains that held her provided a weird obligato to It all, as she strained to free herself She could hear tlie whip as It cut through the branches to sear her lover's body. But she took Joy in the realization that Slicp's long absence meant that Tom had recovered consciousness, that he was again fighting. The continuous crackling of bushes told her that itie fight was not too unequal, but the unceasing whine of Shep’s whip advised her where the advantage

lay.

Suddenly she heard the shrubbery break under the weight of a falling body. There was a moan of agony, followed by a gloating note of victory. Silence, then she heard footsteps nn the twigs, each drawing the victor nearer to her. She dosed her eyes against the moonlight, her heart dead within her. Dawn kept her eyes closed tight though she knew the conqueror on the violent combat stood watching her. For several seconds there was silence. The suspense grew Intolerable and she opened her eyes. They rested on Tom, his hair disheveled, his clothes In shreds and his face purpled with bruises. "My Tom!" She could utter no more. Her love for him and her uncontrollable joy at finding him, and not Shep, left her voiceless. Again she tugged at her chains, impatient to be in his arms. But Tom did not come to her at once. She saw that he held Shep's whip which ho snapped at some unseen object In the brush. “Come out of there." he commanded. “Come!" There was a stir In the thicket and soon Shep emerged, alternating ills groans of pain with pleas for mercy. "Please, white man." he whined, please!" Though exhausted and kept upright only by will power, Tom could not afford to lose his precious advantage. He curled the whip perilously close to the whip man's ears and uttered another command. Shep. thoroughly beaten, drew himself almost on his bellv to Tom's fe ?.n? n . d tlle r e erouc hed like a slave. Wait, white man. wait!” he pleaded. “Don't use that whip on me no more. Don't whip me no more. I gives up to you. Let me go away." Tom was uncertain just how to fll pose of Shep. "1 ought to cut you Into etrlns" he told Shep harshly, "and I will If you Iry anything. Get up," he ordered, raising the whip Releasing a shrill yell of fright Shep thrust both hand, toward Tom » appeal for pity, "i can ' t j 1 ”"' Hones whit* man, I'se too beat ifo to stand up.

“DEADWOOD DICK” NOT SO BAD EVAN'SVII I E, May 13 (UP) — “'Di-adwood Dirk” Clark, who died recently, was a bold fillow with a sincere hatred for Indians, according to Frank Hensley, FJ/ansville, for 53 years an Indian fighter and pros-

pector.

“Dick wasn’t a bad man,” Hensley [ j said. “He was just like tlie rest of j | the old-timers who have gone on. I ! He was fearless, hardy and a big- | hearted man. He would give away | his last ounc ■ of gold duot, his last i cup of water, or slice of bacon for a I fri nd in need. “He used to come in from riding j the pony express between Mills City and Deafiwood, S. I)., with arrow re-ads sticking in his saddle. “He was a good gambler. He would dak hi.- last coin on the turn of a card and then, when he lost, get up quietly—go out into the hills and hunt for more gold.”
