Tonight! Take Dodson’s Liver Tone!
Better Than Calomel For Liver
Calomel sickens ! If bilious, constipated and bead-
achy read my guarantee.
A Romance of the American Army
Fighting on the Battlefields of France
By VICTOR ROUSSEAU
Listen to me! Take no more sicken-
ing, salivating calomel when bilious or
constipated,
straighten you right up and make you
feel fine and vigorous by morning, I
want you to go back to the store and
get your money. Dodson’s Liver Tone
is destroying the sale of calomel be-
cause it is real liver medicine; entire-
ly vegetable, therefore it can not sali-
vate or make you sick.
I guarantee that one spoonful of
Dodson’s Liver Tone will put your-
sluggish liver to work and clean your
bowels of that spur bile and consti-
pated waste which is clogging your
system and making you feel miserable.
I guarantee that a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver Tone will keep your entire fam-
ily feeling fine for months. Give it to.
your children. It is harmless; doesn’t
gripe and they like its Dleasant taste.
—Adv.
Don’t lose a day’s wo rk!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, break-
ing it up. This is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
are sluggish and “all knocked out,” if
your liver, is torpid and bowels consti-
pated or you have headache, dizziness,
coated tongue, if breath is bad or
-stomach sour, just take a spoonful of
harmless Dodson’s Liver Tone.
Here’s my guarantee—Go to any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver ^Tone for a few- cents. Take a
spoonful tonight, and if it doesn’t

And with the blow all his strength
returned, all his energy and zest for
battle. He ibrgot everything. Waving
the sword, he hurled himself into the
attacking ranks. They gave, and with
a cheer the defenders swept on into
the main street, Mark leading them.
How he fought that day he never
knewr; long afterward he would see
visions of it in sleep, and battle pic-
tures that forever eluded his waking
•consciousness. Bound the little vil-
from unexpected places, hideous death
traps caught the unwary and venture-
some, sometimes a street was filled
with a jostling mob, too packed to use
their steel, tearing at one another with
fists and teeth. There was no order,
and the command fell to him who
Colonel, attempting to make the pas-
sage.
The General gave him his arm and
assisted him, and, when he stood still,
placed one arm about him to steady
him.
“Do you recognize that man?” he
asked.
The Colonel stiffened; Kellerman
fell back against the wall.
“As I’m a living man,” cried Colo-
nel Howard, “it’s Hampton!”
that has come to him has come from
you. And it tells me, too, that your
power has ended. ‘No,’ is my answer.”
“And yours, Mr. Weston?” asked
Kellerman, looking at Mark.
Mark, unable to reply, pointed toward
the opening of the recess. Kellerman
turned and strode toward it. Then he
turned.
“There’s one thing more to say,” he
said. “Your action in dismissing me,
Miss Howard, savors of the romantic
drama. Your life has been'a romantic
one, with a certain high-strung ideal-
ism in it, due to the circumstances of
your upbringing. It was that, I be-
lieve, which made you think it your
duty to follow your adopted father’s
unit to the front. I think you ought to
know wrho you are. Your father died
on the battlefield of Santiago. He was
a fugitive from justice. He was the
notorious Hampton.”
Mark uttered a cry. He sprang to-
ward Kellerman, but Kellerman dealt
him a blow that sent him stumbling
among the bricks.
“That’s a lie, Kellerman!” said Colo-
nel Howard quietly.
The old Colonel’s eyes were wide
open. He laid his hands laboriously
upon the edge of the bricli wall and,
with a great effort, raised himself to
his feet.
“That’s a lie,” he repeated.
“It is no lie, Colonel Howard. You
told the whole story to Captain Wal-
lace in the hospital tent. Never mind
how I know. I know.”
“You damned, dirty spy!” said the
old Colonel.
“A confession,” answered Kellerman
blandly. “Your words were strong
ones, Colonel Howard. Deny them if
you can. You said, ‘A thousand years
of hell wouldn’t atone for that crime.’
You said ‘it was calculated, cold-
blooded deliberation.’ You said, ‘The
case against Hampton was absolutely
proven. He was to have been hanged
as soon as we captured Santiago. He
was born rotten. He sold his country
to pay his gambling debts.’ And you
called him by the worst name one man
can call another. That was why you
tried to persuade Mark Wallace not to
adopt Hampton’s child. Like father,
like daughter.”
He swung round upon Eleanor, and
for the first time seemed to lose his
self-control.
“That’s who you are!” he cried. “The
child of a wretched traitor, who worked
in the war department with Colonel
Howard and me, a man without honor,
entangled with a wretched woman spy,
who sold our secrets. And that man—
your adopted father, whom you love
and revere, spied on him in turn,
■watched him, read his letters^ went
through his pockets, snared him,
trapped him, brought him to his de-
serts—and adopted you.”
Eleanor staggered toward the Colo-
nel, her arms raised imploringly, and
cried in a choking voice:
“Say it’s untrue! Only say that it’s
untrue!” ■
“It’s a damned lie,” said the Colonel;
but there was not the least conviction
in his voice.
“Tell me the truth !”
“It’s true, then—it’s more or less
true,” said I-Io.ward wearily.
“It’s not true!” shouted Mark. “Be
member, Colonel, the man’s face had
been practically blown away. How do
we know , that it was Hampton who
was with the child? It might have
been another. We don’t know for sure,
and we can’t know. I’ve never believed
it. I wouldn’t e\;er dare to let myself
believe it.” • .
“You found his papers,” said Keller-
man.
Nobody answered him. Eleanor went
up to Mark and raised her white face
to,his. “Tell me what you think, Cap-
tain Mark,” she pleaded.
And once more Mark was mute. She
read his face as if by inches. She
turned toward Kellerman. “Now will
you go?” she asked.
Kellerman saluted her- with mock
formality. “I’ll go,” he said, “but he’s
spent his chance. A spy’s daughter
and a spy’s—”
The ambulance bearers appeared at
the entrance to the recess. They bore
a stretcher. Propped up in it, swathed
in a bloody clout of bandages, was
Hartley.
“There he is!” he cried, pointing his
hand in triumph. “I knew he’d come
this way. He’s here, sir!” he cried to
some one outside the orifice.
The stretcher bearers set down their
burden on a ledge of the Avail. Into
the little place strode the General.
His appearance there exercised a
paralyzing effect upon them all. Kel-
lerman was the first to recover his self-
possession. He saluted stiffly.
“This man,” he said, pointing to
Mark, “is the prisoner who Avas to have
been executed this morning.”
The General, Avithout a Avord, strode
toAvard Mark and clasped him by the
hand.
Kellerman gulped and moved toward
the entrance for the last time. The
General turned.
"Halt, sir!” he commanded. “Colonel
Howard, will you have the goodness to
go to the man on the—Avhy, I beg your
pardon, Colonel! Net badly hurt?”
“Nothing much, sir,” answered the

CHAPTER XVI,
Even as he kissed her in return he
saAV the startled- glance that she cast
behind her, and, folloAving it with his
eyes, he saw a tall figure in uniform
emerge from the recesses of the ori-
fice; and again he stood face to face
with Kellerman.
Eleanor released him and stood, still
clinging to him, at his side, her hand
draAvn through his arm. The contrast
betAveen the two men was extraor-
dinary. Kellerman looked as if he had
just stepped into his uniform; his
gloved hands, his adjusted belt, the
creases in his tunic were those of the
fashion-plate. Looking at Mark, he saAV
a dirty, grimed, almost unrecognizable
figure, Avith uniform that hung about
him in great tatters, blotched and
stained with blood.
“You said he would not come back!”
cried Eleanor. “You see he has come
back. What have you to say more?”
“You misunderstood me, Eleanor—”
“I understand you now for the first
time in my life. I liked you, Major
Kellerman. I trusted you and I be-
lieved in you. When you told me that
you were working to get Captain Wal-
lace his recognition I was glad, and
proud of you both, and happy. What
did you do?”
“What did he do?” cried Kellerman
furiously. “Why should you believe
evil things of me, because he said
them—”
“He never spoke one word against
you!”
“When the decision has already been
made by an impartial court, anxious to
clear a soldier’s character, if that were
possible?”
“Because I have a woman’s instinct,
Major Kellerman.”
“Enough of this,” interposed Mark.
“What are you doing here, sir?”
He snapped the last Avord out in
irony so bitter that Kellerman winced.
“So you’ve cheated the firing party,
Private Weston!” he said, with his
habitual sneer.
“O, call me Mark while you’re about
it,” ansAA'ered Wallace. “Gr please re-
member that I am no longer under
your command, nor a soldier in the
American army. Technically I am a
dead^man, Major Kellerman, and dead
men—”
“Tell no tales, eh?” responded Kel-
lerman savagely. “Well, here Ave stand
man to man, and the conditions war-
rant plain speaking. It is not my busi-
ness to place you under arrest. But, if
I do so, you are aAvare that your life
will be worth about five minutes’ pur-
chase. So go, Mr. Weston, or Wallace,
or AvhateArer you call yourself noAV. Go
—if Miss Eleanor here says the one
Avord that will set you free. Go—and
in this confusion you Avill have a rea-
sonable chance to escape, Avith those
ready Avits of yours.”
“The one Avord?” Eleanor gasped.
“The oneSvord ‘yes’,” responded Kel-
lerman.
“I AA-ill never become your wife, Ma-
jor Kellerman.”
“So you told me the other day, after
leading me to suppose that it'AA'as your
intention,” answered Kellerman easily.
“Stop, Mr. Weston, if you please, and
let me finish. War doesn’t leave much
sentimentality in a man. We know Avhat
life is worth, and Ave know that life’s
a matter of bargaining. When we
Avere in America I might have accepted
my dismissal, Eleanor. But here Ave
three stand under the naked heaA'en,
like ants on a hill. All artificial dis-
tinctions have fallen away. I’ve loved
you for many months, Eleanor, and I
Avant to marry you. That’s the bald
truth of it. In order to persuade you,
I am Avilling to let this gentleman es-
cape—to facilitate his escape, even to
make our marriage dependent on my
success. That’s fair, isn’t it? And,
AAiiat have you against me? Is it my
fault that he Avas court-martialed and
sentenced to death for striking an of-
ficer?”
The man’s effrontery took Mark’s
breath aAvay.
“My answer,” responded Eleanor
steadily, “is ‘no.’ And even if you could
send him to his death it Avould still be
‘no.’ Because he himself would Avish
that. But you can’t harm him. Some-
thing convinces me that all the harm
