| His weak voice proclaimed the truth
| OF his words. At the sound of Hardy's
cry the woman in the stern sheets lifted
her head, and the shadow Of the brim Of
her hat slipped off her face. Hardy in
stantly recognized her.
Great God?' he exclaimed
He was struck mot1onless by astonish-
ment, but his faculties rallied in a breath;
in minute he had sprung into the main
chains, and a jump carried him into the
boat.
'Oh, Mr.. Hardyr' shrieked the girl.
and she tried to rise to clasp him, but
her exhaustion was too great and she
could only sob.
''On deck therew shouted Hardy, who
was usurping all privileges Of the cap

sation. "Send down a chair and bear a

and whilst the four nearly spent sailors
of the boat were being helped by the
men in the ship Hardy was talking to

What meeting! What has happened

about since then without food or water
Oh. thank God for this! thank God for
this-and to meet you!"
Bear a hand, nv lads. bear hand"
shouted Hardy whilst the captain with
his head showing above the rail stood
staring into the boat. The mate would
not tax her with speech she might be
diving! Some alert seamen were in that
clipper, and to the instincts and human
fty of British sailor no form of dis
tress appeals more vehemently than the

than the open boat in which men and
women may be dying of thirst Swiftly,
az though the crew Of the York were
the disciplined and gallant hearts of the
battleship, a chair, well secured, sank
from the yard arm and was seized by
Hardy. He lifted the girl on to 1t, took
turn round her with Niece Of line which
had come down with It, and she scared
from his nimble slillful hands, and van
ished from his sight behind the bulwarks.
He gained the deck in a few instants,
sailors could liberate her from the chair.
''She is a dear friend of NINE" said he
loudly, that the men might understand
that more was in this thrilling PASSAGE
than humanity alone. And passing his
arm round her waist to support her he
helped her to walk aft.
The captains face looked dark with
disappointment, and as Hardy drew close
to him he heard him mutter: They have
not brought him, they have not brought

T will take this lady below" said
Hardy, speaking rapidly. ''Her ship has
been burnt. They have been without
food and water for two or three days."
and he passed on with the girl to the
companion hatch. whilst the captain
stood dumbly following them with his
eyes. with the noble Newfoundland
standing beside him.

A St. Paul Man Who Tells His
Friends What Has Done Him
Much q cd.

We will tell you what will cure the
worst kind of @ case of backache caused
from the kidneys. We will not only tell
you. but will refer you to people In all
walks Of life in the city of st. Paul who
have used Kid-ne-oids with the best re-
suits. We ask you to read this statement
from Mr.. S. J. Thompson, 6171 East Sew
enth street, who says: II have been sick
for several years with kidney trouble,
and during the last five months l was so
bad / could scarcely attend to my work.
The pain in the small of my back was
continuous and at times very severe. I
suffered with urinary disturbances Of an
alarming nature. 1t caused a burning
sensation in passage and contained a
brick dust sediment. I was very weak
and my general health was very bad.
Since have taken Morrow's Kid-ne-oids
the pain left me and has not returned.
My urine is natural and l am a great
deal stronger. / will recommend Kid-ne-
oids to my friends and all others who
are suffering from kidney disease
Morrow's Kid-ne-oids are not pills. but

back sharp lined against the blue.
Hardy fetched the glass, and going to
the m1zzen rigging pointed it, He caught
1t instantly. 1t was a boat, how far off
1t was impossible to say, for distance
when small object grows visible, is
very difficult to measure with the eye at
sea, but she was plain to the naked sight
of the man on the yard arm; the tele-
scope brought her close, and Hardy
counted five figures in her, one of whom
was standing on the foremost thWart
waving something-a shirt or piece of
canvas. Her mast was stepped, but the
sail was down, and she lay waiting, vanA
ishing and reappearing as the shallow
hollows ran sucking under her.
When Hardy dropped the glass he found
the captain by his side.
What is In sight?" he exclaimed,
speaking with something of breathless
ness, as though his heart was tightened.
"A ships boat. sir, with five people in
her." answered Hardy.
Il shall find him. exclaimed the cap
tain, and the old look of superiority to all
human intelligence, and the pathetic
sparkle OF cunning with which the dis
eased brain will often illuminate the eye,
were perceptible to Hardy. Give me the
glass, SIR
The captain leveled it and was long
time in looking, and all the time he look
ed he breathed slow and deep like man
in heavy slumber.
Stand by to back the fore-topsail," he
exclaimed. Let a hand be ready with a
line and others to help them aboard, for
twice l have fallen in with people so
weakened by distress and famine and
thirst-Oh, God, that awful part of it,
that we have lifted them like babies over
the side"
Presently the boat was close under the
bow; the fore-topsail was aback, and the
ship heaving slowly without way was
alongside the little fabric
Her people were four men and a woman.
The men were seamen, appareled in such
clothes as the merchant sailor went clad
In. They staggered little as they stood
up, and ole in the bow reeled as he
caught the end of the line. The woman
was sitting in the stern sheets She wore
straw hat, the shadow of whose brim
darkened her face as a veil might. She
was clothed in a black jacket, and the
material of her dress was dark. Her
head was a little sunk, as though she
was too weary to hold 1t erect
The captain OVERLAPPING the rail started
with bright devouring eyes into the boat.
He did not seem to heed the people in
her; he was looking for something else.
"Are you able to help the lady aboard?"
shouted Hardy.

THEATRE SEEMS SURE
Canvass for Opening Perform
ance to Begin Within
Few Weeks.
ALI PLANS ABOUT COMPLETED
Fine Building Will Go Up in Rock
Island During the
Summer.

The prospects are now brighter than
they have ever been for a new modern
theatre in Rock Island. Within the
next month the ticket sale for the
opening performance will be inau-
gurated, and that, together with
the encouragement offered by a
few public spirited people who
have pride in the city, will within
the next few months give the COM
munity an opera house that will be
the pride of the citizens of Rock ISL
and and be in keeping with the pro-
gressive spirit evidenced by its people
in other directions. George II. John
ston. of St. Louis, who has probably
built more theatres than any other
one man in the country, will build the
house, which is an assurance that it
will be well done. Last Tuesday night
Mr.. Johnston's new house at Green
vile, Miss, was opened, and though
it is not as large a building as Rock
Island will have, the same attention
to detail has been given that charac-
terizes all Mr.. Johnston's work.
Nwe House In Mississippi.
The following from the Daily Demo-
crat, of Greenville, anent their new
theatre, will give an idea of the thor
oughness of the work:
1.-The seating capacity is 500, with
standing room for 200 or more. The
seats are of the bestand most approved
pattern, made by the Kane Manufac-
turing company, of Chicago. The
boxes are trimmed with papier mache
in gold. The colors are tastefullv
blended and the silk curtains are of
the richest fabrics. The box chairs
are magnificent and were carefully
selected to suit the surroundings.
There are eight boxes in all. The
proscenium is extra large and taste
fully decorated with splayed enrich
ments, bestudded with beautiful
lights all around that reflect their
radiance over the drop curtain in
most pleasing manner. The decora-
tions are of the highest order of
skilled work manship, and reflect
great credit on the gentlemen who
have the work in charge, and to
George H. Johnston, of St. Louis, who
has great reputation all over the
country as a scenic artist of the high
est order, and who is taking especial
pains in making a perfect success in
every detail, There are seven dress
ing rooms Sx10 feet inside. well VEN
tilated and neatly finished with fres-
coed walls. Stationary wash stands
with hot and cold water, and a med
allion in each room"

IN A TRANCE TWO YEARS.
Miss EIida Wilbur Found I'm.
conscious Alter a Quarrel
With Her BetrOthed

San Francisco, March f.
Miss Eliza Wilbur has lain in a
trance for two years and is now
just recovering her faculties. The
first words she has spoken in that
time we're uttered this week
when she said: "Nobudy loves
me now" These words she re-
peated several times.
Miss Wilbur, two years and
one month ago, was betrothed to
James Dunphy, a wealthy young
man of this city. He had been
divorced and his people, who
are Roman Catholics, objected to
Miss Wilbur until a ldispensation
could be obtained from the Vati-
can. This obstacle caused a posts
ponement of the wedding. On the
evening of Feb. Is, 1898. Mr..
Duuphy called on Miss Wilbur
and they had a quarrel Of some
sort, trivial it is believed. The
next morning Miss Wilbur was
found unconscious on a lounge
in her bedroom. The gas was
flowing from one of the jets and
the room was full of it. She was
fully attired, she was reclining
in a natural posture. Her right
arm hung Imply and on the
floor beside her was a book
which evidently she bad been
reading. AS the window was
open it is believed that the wind
blew the gas out while she was
dozing.
Every effort was made to re-
vive her without avail. Her heart
and lungs finally began to work
normally, but her brain remained
inactive. She opened and shut hel
eyes, but made 70 other sign Of
life. Her body was insensible tc
pain. She seemed in a cataleptit
fit. Recently she was taken acros:
the bay and the change did bel
good. Then a few days ago she
spoke. Her physicians r watch.
ing their patient closely, but they
can yet give no opinion as to hel
ultimate recovery.

Puerto KicO
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The two million dollars Presi-
dent Mckinley Yesterday urged
Congress to appropriate for the
benefit of the people of Porto
Rico, their government in all its
ramifcations, was voted prompt
~ by the House of Representa-
tives. The Senate should have
the bill really for the President
to make it a law before he re-
turns from New York.
In this sum of two millions,
which the President said IN his
message was collected at the
United States Custom Houses by
levying duties upon imported
products of Porto Rico, is all the
precedent that can be desired fol
the right of Congress to main.
tain a tariff against the territory
which has passed into their pos
session from Spain. 1t removes
the most energetically upheld OBJ.
Lection 10 the abolition of all du
ties between the.States and Por
to Rico.
The act of Congress following
the appropriation of these TIVE
millions in accordance with tn
Presidents recon mendatiOl
should be to establish free trad
with Porto Rico. That will en-
liven her industries so that tn
revenue necessary for her gov
eminent can be raised within he
Town boundaries. And it will d
!, what ought to be done.
