"California Syrup of Figs"

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, nil at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain—the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparatior that Las real

recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
•ale."
According to s^orn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Hoot is due to the fact,
•o many people claim, that it fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

and waited their turn while several
patients preceded tliem into the Inner

Finally their turn came and they
were ushered In to the doctor. Nathan
eyed him a minute. Then he spoke.

The eyes of the wolves glow In the
darkness, but the circles are usually
bright points. Of course It was a cou-
gar.
She didn't cry out again. Realizing
at last the reality of her rcrll, her
long training In the mountains caine
to her aid. That dl<3 not mean she
was not truly and terribly afraid. The
beast was hunting her. She couldn't
doubt this fact. Curiosity might make
a lion follow her, but It would never
beget such a wild light of madness In
his eyes as this she had Just seen. She
simply damped down all her moral
strength on her rising hysteria and
looked her situation In the face. Her
hand flew Instinctively to her side,
and the pistol leaped In the lantern
light
But the eyes had already blinked
out before she could raise the weapon.
She shot twice. Tlie echoes roared
hack, unbelievably loud In the silence,
and then abruptly died; and the only
sound was a rustling of leaves as the
cougar crouched. She sobbed orce,
then hurried on.
She was nfrald to lister, at first. She
wanted to believe thnt her pistol fire
would frighten the nnlmal from her
trail. She knew, under ordinary con-
ditions, that It would. If he still fol-
lowed, It could mean but one thlilfe—
lhat some unheard-of Incident hud oc-
curred to destroy his fear of men. It
would mean that he*hnd knowingly set
upon her trail and was hunting her
with all the age-old remorselessness
that Is the code of the mountains.
For a little while all was silence.
Then out of the hush the thickets sud-
denly crashed and shook on the oppo-
site side of the trail. She fli'ed blind
ly Into the thicket. Then she caught
herself with a soh. But two shells
remained In her pistol, and they must
be save;' for the test.
Whisperfoot the cougar, remember-
ing the lessons of his youth, turned
from the trnll when he had first heard
Snowbird's step. He hnd crouched
and let her pass. She was walking
Into the wind; and as she was at the
closest point a message had blown
back to him.
The hair went straight on his shoul-
ders and along his spine. His blood,
running cold an Instant before from
fear, made a great leap In his veins,
A picture came In his dark mind: the
chase for a deer when the moon had
set, the stir of a living thing thnt
broke twigs In the thickets, and the
leap he had made. There had been
blood, that night—the wlldness nnd the
madness and the exultation of the kill.
Of course there hnd been terror first,
but the terror hnd soon departed nnd
left something lying warm nnd still
In the thickets. It was the snme game
that walked his trail In front—game
that died easily and yet, In a vngue
way he did not understand, the
noblest game of all. It was living
flesh, to tear with talon and fnng.
All his training, all the Instincts Im-
bued In him bv a thousand generations
of cougars who knew this greatest
fear, were simply obliterated by the
ludden violence of his hunting-mad-
ness. He hnd tasted this blood once,
and It could never be forgotten. The
flame leaped In his eyes. And then he
began the stalk.
A cougar, trying to creep silently
on Its game, does not move quickly. It
simply steals, as a serpent Bteals
through the grass. Whisperfoot stalked
for a period of five minutes, to learn
that the prey was farther away from
him at every step.
He trotted forward nntll he came
close, and ngnln he stalked. Again he
found, after a tbw minute* of silent
creeping through the thickets, that he
hnd lost distance. Evidently this
game did not feed (lowly, like the
leer. It was to be a chase, then.
Again he trotted within one hundred
feet of the girl.
Three times more he tried to stalk
before he finally gave It tip altogether.
Till* game was like the porcupine—
limply to be chased down and taken.
And In the case of all animals thnt
hunt their game by overtaking It,
there wu no longer any occasion for
going silently. The thing to do was to
come close and spring from the trail
behind.
Though the fear was mostly gone,
the cougar retained enough of that
eantlon that most wild animal* ex-
hibit when hunting a new game' no
thnt he didn't attempt to strike Snow-
bird down at once. But ns the chase
wont on, his passion grew upon hlra.
Ever he crept nearei. And at iast he
sprang full Into the thickets beside
her.
At thnt Instant she had shot for the
first time. Becnusc the light had left
his eyes before she could find aim.
both shots hnd been elenn misses. And
terrible as the reports were, he was
too engrossed In the chnse to be
frightened away by mere sound. Tills
was the cry the man-pack always
made—these sudden, startling sounds
In the silence. But he felt no pain,
ne crouched a moment, shivering.
Then he bounded on again.
The third shot was a miss too: In
fact, there had been no chance for n
lilt A sound In the darkness Is ns
unreliable a target as can possibly be
imagined. And It didn't frighten lilm
as much ns the others. He walled,
crouching, and the girl started on.
She was making other sounds now—
queer, whimpering sounds not greatly
different from the bleat thnt the fnwn
utters when It dies. It was a fear-
sound, and If there la one emotion
with which the wild bensts are ac-
quainted, In all Its pl.asos, It Is fear.
She was nfrald of him, then, and ilint
meant he need no longer be In the
least afraid of her. Ills skin began to
twitch all over with that terrible mad-
ness nnd passion of the flesh-hunters.
Tills game was like the deer, and
the thing to do was lie In wait There
was only one trnll. He wasn't afraid
of losing her In the dnrkness. She
was neither fleet like the deer nor
courageous like Woof the bear. He
Jind only to wait and leap from the
darkness when she passed.

When Dan Falling, riding like mad
over the mountain trnll, heard the
third shot from Snowbird's pistol, he
felt that one of the debts he owed had
come due at last. He seemed to know.

she knew—a wild, sobbing figure Id
the darkness.
"She's only got one shot more," he
snld. Ho knew how many bullets her '
pistol carried; and the danger—what-
ever It was—must be just at hand. Un-
derbrush cracked beneath him. And
(hen the horse drew up with a Jerk
that almost hurled blm from the sad-1
die.
He lashed at her in vain. She was
not nfrald In the darkness and the
rocks of the trail, but some Terror In

as the darkness pressed around him,
that he was to be tried In the flre. And
the horse staggered beneath him as
he tried to hasten.
He showed no mercy to his mount.
Horse-flesh Isn't made for cnrrylng n
heavy man over such a trail as this,
and she was red-nostrlled and Inth-
ered before half a mile had been cov-
ered. He made her leap tip the rocks,
and on fairly level stretches he loosed
the reins and lashed her into a gnllop.
Only a mountain horse could have
stood that test. He gnve no thought
to his own safety. Ills courage was
at the test, and no risk of his own
life must Interfere with his attempt
to snve Snowbird from the danger
thnt threatened her. He didn't know
when the horse would fall with him
and precipitate him down a precipice,
and he was perfectly aware thnt to
crash Into a low-hanging limb of one
of the great trees beside the trail
would probably crush his skull. But
he took the chance. And before the
ride was done he found himself plead-
ing with the horse, even as he lashed
her sides with his whip.
The lesser forest creatures sprang
from his trail; and once the mare
leaped high to miss a dark shadow
that crossed In front. As she caught
her atrlde, Dan beard a squeal and a
rattle of quills that Identified the crea-
ture ns a porcupine.
By now lie had pnssed the flrat of
the worst grades, coming out npon a
long, easy slope of open forest. Again
he urged his horse, leaving to her
keen senses alone the choslng of the
path between the great tree trunks.
Then he beard Snowbird fire for the
fourth time; and he knew that he had
almoat overtaken her. The report
seemed to smash the air. And he

reared, snorting; then danced In an
impotent circle. Meanwhile, precloui
seconds were fleeing.
He understood now. The hrrsc
stood still, shivering beneath him, but
would not advance a step. The silence
deepened. Somewhere In the uurK*
ness before him a great cougar was
waiting by the trail, and Snowbird
hoping for the moment thnt It had
given up the chase, was hastening
through the shadows squarely Into lti
ambush.
Whisperfoot crouched lower: and
again his long serpent of a tall began
the little vertical motion that alwayi
precedes his leap. He had not forgot*
ten the wild rapture of that moment
he had inadvertently sprung on Landy
Illldreth—or how, after his terror had
died, he had come creeping back. He
hunted his own way, waiting on the
trail; and his madness was at I ti
height. He was not Just Whisperfoot
the coward, that runs at the shadow
of a tall form In the thickets. The
consummation was complete, and that
single experience of a month before
hnd made of him a hunter of men.
His muscles set for the leap.
So Intent was he that his keen
senses didn't detpct the fact that
there was a curious echo to the girl's
footsteps. Dan Failing had slipped
down from his terrified horse nnd was
running up the trail behind her, pray-
ing that he could be in tine.
Snowbird heard the pat, pat of his
feet; but at first she did not dare to
hope that aid had come to her. She
had thought of Dan as on the far-
away marshes; and her fnther, the
only other living occupant of this part
of the Divide, might even now be ly-
ing dead In his house. In her terror,
she had lost all power of interpreta-
tion of events. The sound might be
the cougar's mate, or even the wolf
pack, jealous of his game. Sobbing,
she hurried on into Whlsperfoot's am-
bush.
Then she heard a voice, nnd it seem- j
ed to be calling to her. "Snowbird—'
I'm coming. Snowbird," a man's strong
voice was shouting. She whirled with
a sob of thankfulness.
At thnt instant the cougar sprang.
Terrified though she wns, Snow-
bird's reflexei had kept sure and true.
Even ns the great cat leaped, a long,
lithe shadow out of the shadow, her
finger pressed back against the trigger
of her pistol. She had been carry-
ing her gun In front of hor, nnd she
fired It, this last time, with no con-,
scloua effort. It was just a last In-'
sttnctlve effort to defend herself.
One other element affected the Is-
sue. She had whirled to answer Dan's
cry Just as the cougar left the ground.
But she had still been In rnnge. The
only effect was to lessen, in some de-
gree, the accuracy of the spring. The
bullet caught the beast In mld-alr;
but even If It hnd reached Its heart,
the momentum of the nttack was too
great to be completely overcome.
Snowbird only knew that some vr.st,
resistless power bad struck her, nnd
that the darkness seemed to roar and
explode about her.
Hurled to her face In the trail, she J
did not see the cougnr sprnwl on the I
earth beside her. The flame In the J
Inntern almost flicked out as it fell |
from her hand, then flashed up nnd I
down, from the deepest gloom to a !
vivid glare with something of the ef-
fect of lightning flickering In the sky.
Nor did she hear the first fremded
thrashing of the wounded animal.
Kindly unconsciousness had fallen, ob-
scuring this nnd also the sight of the
great cat, In the agony of Its wound,
creeping with broken shoulder and
bared claws across the pine needles
toward her defenseless body.
