A Veterans Story.

Bath, N. Y, April 13th.-The nrst
consideration OF the Commandant ano
Officers in the conduct Of the Soldiers
and Sailors Home here is the health
of the Veterans. Kidney Troubles are
the most common cause Of atlnent,
very few of the old men escaping these
in some form or other.
OF course the comrades do as much
as possible for themselves, and one or
the most popular and useful remedies
employed is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
which seem to be almost fnfaliible IN
cases of Kidney arrangements. Indeed
there are among the veterans several
who claim to owe their lives to Dodds
Kidney Pills.
For instance, A. E. Ayers, who came
to the home from Minneapolis, Mimi,
was given up by four doctors in that
city. He had Bright's Disease, and
never expected to live through 1t. but
his life was saved and his health re-
stored by Dodi's Kidney Pills.
His experience has made the remedy
very popular among the men, and no
one who has used Dodd's Kidney Pills
for any Kidney Trouble has been dis
appointed.

Sh turned around so sharply on the mar
row ledge Of slippery rock that she lost
her balance. swayed for a moment, and
then fell with a ~resounding splash into the
deep water.
An expression of unalloyed 10y over
spread the countenance of the young man.
And she can't SWIM" he muttered
gleefuuy; then as he saw the dark head
emerging from the sea, he pulled off his
coat and jumped in after her.
The sudden shock Of immersion in cold
water had completely deprived Miss Dur
ward Of speech or hearing, and she was
quite at his mercy. For all her dignity
she was really very small and slight, and
her rescuerer found no difficulty in swim
ming a little distance with his burden.
Opposite to where she had been standing
before her fall a large rock just showed
its head out of the water which COM
pletely surrounded 1t. On this rock he
placed the girl, and then, saying in a
cheerful, reassuring tone, Hold on tight,
or you'll fall again. he returned to his
former resting place and, sitting down,
awaited events.
With an effort Miss Durward opened her
eyes and looked about her in a dazcd
manner. Then the truth came to her with
a Hash and rage got the upper hand. She
carefully removed one hand from the Slip
perry rock and brushed away the dark
mar which fell into her eyes and glared
wrathfully at the impenitent and dripping
young man who hat opposite to her, en-
deavoring to light a cigaret with a damn
match.
She might almost as we'll nave been in
the middle Of the Atlantic ocean instead of
only a few yards from the shore, SO ut
terly impossible was it for her to reach
land without getting far out of her depth.
when she would be ANONYMOUSLY fshcd
out by the man whom at that moment she
hated with deadly and vicious hatred.
Il wonder you are not ashamed of YOUR
self playing such childish tricks" she said
angrily. II insist upon your taking me off
this rock at once--at once" she repeated
with an attempt to be disnifed which un-
der the circumstances was a dismal fail

chance I am going to make the most of

before you get on shore again. In fact,
on second thought, If you will make the
promise first, I will land you and talk
afterward."
Il don't want to hear anything you have
to say and 1 will not listen to It,"
But, fortunately for me, for once in
your life. you have no choice In the mat
