One of Two Ways

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for
the urine, and as such It Is not liza
BILE to any form OF disease except
by one OF two ways. The first way
is from imperfect action OF the kid
neys. The second way Is from care
less local treatment Of other dis
eases.
Chief Cause.
Unhealthy urine from un-
healthy kidneys Is the chief
cause Of bladder troubles. So the
womb, like the bladder, was Great

said Bessie. quietly. eYou bandage ais
head with your handkerchief, prop him
against the stump. and I'll hold him un-

John hesitated a moment, then foi-
lowed his sWeetheart's directions to the
letter. BE easily borrowed q horse and
buggy from one of those Whe still lin

half an hour he returned with the doc

"Just take him over to our house,

for this suggestion, an approving smile
from Bessie.
In very short time the injured man
was lying in Mrs. Lorimer's "spars

the village knew that "the widow Lori-

Under Dr.. Bakers somewhat primi-
tive treatment the patient did not
thrive, but, instead, grew worse, until,
at the end of a week, at Mrs. Lorimer's
suggestion, a physician from the city
was sent for.
That eminent practitioner arrived,
asked a few questions, examined the pa
tents injured head, and announced:
The man has been wounded in the
head, and his skull has been trepanned.
1t was bad job, for something was
left pressing upon the brain, and this
accident has dented the plate, also.

physician wenton musingly as he turned
to his case of surgical instruments.
In a few hours, the city physician,
having removed the old plate and re-
piaced it with a new one, took the train
home, leaving behind him patient who
was sleeping as quietly as a babe. To
Mrs. LorimeF the doctor said. at part
ing;
"AI your patient needs now is good
nursing, and / know, madam, he will
receive it at your hands. When he re-
gains consciousness, it will be, I think,
as a perfectly sane man"
The second morning after the doctors
departure Mrs. LorimeT was leaning
over the sick man, when suddenly his
eyes opened.
I've been pretty sick, haven't !,
nurse?" he asked with a faint smile.
Yes, indeed. But you mustn't talk.

John in the sitting-roOm heard his
mothers scream, and, bounding up the
stairs three steps at time, found her
lying in a faint across the body of the
wondering, frightened sick man.
1t was all soon explained. John
Lorimer, ST., had been struck by fly

his battery, and had been taken to the
hospital, where an incompetent sur

But the husband of her youth was
again with her in the flesh, and Mrs.
Lorimer's steadfast faith was justified.
"Just look at Mrs. LoFimer," said one
Of the guests at the Armstrong house

had never seen.
In the village Of BanbuTy, at the open
ing Of The war, lived q prosperous young
merchant, John Lorimer. He had not
been married long when the call for
g0-day volunteers came. and for this and
other reasons he did not feel it incum-
bent upon him to respond TO the call.
But when it was seen that the civil war
was assuming alarming proportions,
and aFatheE Abraham" called for
100000 more, then John Lcrimer saw
but one thing 70 do. He sold out his
business, and, turning the proceeds OF
the sale and all his other property over
to his wife, he went to the front as sec
ond in command of battery fitted out
by Banbury and neighboring villages.
For a year or more came, with more
or less regularity, Johns CHEEKY, breezy
letters, il which the discomforts Of
camp-hfe were depicted as a joke, and
the horrors Of war as a Pastime. Then
came the account Of a battle, with the
bulletin Of dead, wounded aud missing

lowed that awful word missing" was:

Rev. John Snaksring was rector Of q
SMALL parish on the left bank Of the
River Trent; indeed, he was rector Of
the whole village. as we'll as being the
landed proprietor. But for the fact of
his being humane and generous land

which he joined the villagers at times.
whether with rod or gun, or occasion
ally sharing in the tally-ho, he was as
much the ruler of bodies and souls of
his neighbars as was formerly the
yeritable plantation and slave owner
in the southern states of Amer
lea. All the farms in the neighbor-
hood were his freehold property, and
all the farmers, their sisters, cousins
and aunts, owed and paid him al
legiance. Hence his congregation at
the church comprised his tenants
and their families and occasion
ally included a deVout pedestrian,
who would step aside from the aowery
mead to share in the Sunday services.
The rector vas a broad-minded man,
who had lot discovered the sinfulness
of angling on the day usually devoted
to rest One Sunday morning, with
rod in hand and jackboots incasing his
sturdy neither limbs; he had creeled q
handsome grayling, and as an expert

come at once" LET them go and be
happy, if they like; I'll not stir a peg
till I've caught that other grayling,"
was the parsons reply. Fortunately,
the consummation so devoutly to be
wished quickly followed, and the
rector cinked with his fishing boots
up the aisle Of the adjacent church.

It was the day when all America,
leaving all other matters aside, unites
in doing honor to the heroes who died
that the nation might live. The morn
ing had broken bright and clear, and the
spring sun shone benignantly upon the
completing preparations for the Me
mortal day ceremonies in BanbuTy,
whence many a promising young fell
low had gone to the war and died for his
country.
At II o'clock came the services at the
church, which almost everyone attend
ed. Lined on either side of the walk
outside were the Banbury guards, the
local militia company, standing at
"parade rest" while waiting for the ap-
Pearance of the grand army post.
Presently the veterans appeared,
marching up the street with somewhat
uncertain step-for many of them were
cripples-behind muffied drum and 81
lent flea little group of aging men,
the remnant of scores Of strong, hope
full young fellows who had gone forth
from Banbury to fight for the cause
they loved.
As they approached, the young cap
tain of the guards gave two OF three
quiet commands: Attention! Carry
armsl Present armsl" And through
the files Of untried soldiers passed
those of many battles.
81 wonder who that old fellow in the
last row of veterans is" unused John
Lorimer, who, with his mother and
Bessie Armstrong, stood on the corner
and saw the old soldiers pass by. "He
must be a stranger. Did you notice2
He seemed to be dazed-a little of !

The services at the church ere more
than usually impressive. The new min
lister, Mr.. Dare, was himself a veteran,
and be talked TO the soldiers as only a
soldier can, then preached a sermon
that brought tears to the eyes of nearly
everyone in the house.
The services over, the veterans, fol-
lowed by the guards and a long process
SIGN of citizens. marched to the GENE
itery to perform the remaining ceremo-
MES of the day. At the church door Mrs.
Lorimer left her son and Bessie to join
some other hower-laden woman in a
carryail, and the young people walked
leisurely toward the cemetery.
There were short services az the base
Of the tall shaft inscribed: ''TO Our
Unknown Dead''-then the graves were
decorated, the salutes fred, and the pro

Of whom had friends buried there.
Among those who remained were John

a silence begotteh by the soIemnity of
the occasion, walked hither and

little cemetery.

she could get any trace Of him. Years
Passed-years during which the young
wife often told herself that the knowl-
edge of his death were better than that
terrible uncertainty as to his fate. As
soon as the war closed, she went south
and inspected the records of all the mill
tary prisons, but gained no clew from
these. Yet she could never convince her
self that he was dead, and she lived in
the faith that she and her boy, the son
he had never seen, now nearly as old as
his father was when he went to the
front, would yet look upon the living
face of that husband ana father.

the piazza, then, with a deep sigh, he
walked down the gravel path, out of the
gate and up the lane towards the big
white house of the Armstrong family.
He walked slowly, with eyes bent on
the ground, as one having trouble on
his mind, until, glancing up. he caught
the CLEAN of a white dress at the gate
of the Armstrong home-then the lag
ging steps grew brisk, and the melan-
choly face was frightened by a smile OF
pleasant anticipation.
1t was a lovely evening in the latter
part Of May, and all nature seemed to
be rejoicing in the fuilness of the ripe
springtime. 1t seemed time for glad
ness and naught else, at least TO those
to whom sorrow was unknown. But in
the cottage John Lorimer had just left
was a little gray-haired woman who
sitting in an armchair with an old
faded photograph in her thin, shaking
hands, was sobbing as though her heart
would break. The picture was that OF
young, handsome man in the uniform
Of a lieutenant Of artillery, and was
sadly blurred with the unavailing tears
that had fallen upon it,
The twilight deePened, and darkness
came, and with it the songs Of the frog
and the cricket and the whip-poor-will
and all the other sounds that tend tC
make night in the country a very sym
phony in itself-but the woman paid
no heed, pausing only 10 her weeping
now and then to kiss passienately the
faded. tawdry photograph.
Young Lorimer's smile vanished al
most as quickly as it came, for he could
not more than momentarily forget the
poor little heart-broken mother he had
left weeping in her corner Of the big
sittiHg-room, although he knew ht
could do nothing to soothe her. and that
she preferred to be left alone at thi:
time; so his face was unusually solemn
when he greeted his sweetheart, Bessie
Armstrong, who was waiting for hin
at the gate.
