 Just let little morning urine stand in a glass or clean bottle for twenty-four hours. If a reddish-brown sediment forms, or particles float about in it, or it becomes the least cloudy. you have posi- tive proof that your kidneys are in a seri- ous condition, and If allowed to run along without treatment will quickly develop Bright's disease diabetes and blood pois- oning. You haven't an instant to lose. Death may come at any moment Get a bottle of Warmers Safe Cure at the near est drug store and take 1t as directed. You will improve at once and soon be cured.
 The formula for Safe Cure was perfect ed by pr. Bright. the discoverer of Brights disease, and the greatest au- thority on kidney troubles the world has ever known, and it is used and recom- mended, exclusively by doctors as the one safe, certain, complete cure for all dis eases of kidneys. bladder, liver and blood.
 Sold at all drug stores, or direct. Soc and $1.00 a bottle.

bly and happily, for fully half that space of time. when. fortune once more smiled In his direction. Reggie Vantackle's yacht blew up one afternoon and tore out enough of Regzie.s ribs to stock harem with Ewes Doctor Dunnerundblitz took an inventory of him, and sent tele- gram to Alonxo right away: sF . Brings the ambulance Herr Vantackle by your house." 1t read. We would your trunk to buy"
 Alonzo almost became animated.
 'sThe hour has come!' he exclaimed Here Is where I corner the market on trunksl Now watch the quotation on hu- man chests crawl clear off the blackboard and up on the wall a waysp
 So, when the doctor came, Alonzo be- gan to dicker and he dickered til Herr Dunnerundblitz had pulled out most of his beard and chopped the supply of German explosives into worthless frag ments And Alonzo got his price, It was a clean, round six figures, too, but when the transfer had been safely made, Reg gie said 1t was worth money. At first, he was afraid that Alonzo's laziness might afflict him, but 1t was a baseless fear, for his own natural vigor seemed even increased by the substitution.
 Alonzo settled down to enjoy long life OI SOnu COulIOTI lHeTe WASH anything left of him to sell, but he had enough money to last him till the coroner called. His body was of aluminium and his limbs of leather and steel, so he looked forward to good, ripe old age of perfect rest and contentment. To further this end he in- vested his money in the only stable and '.permanent value-land. His property was right along the seashore. where it brought him in a fine rental for summer resort purposes, but one night a landslide hap pened along there and carried the Alonzo Rust strip a few miles out in the Atlantic, headed for Merrie England and still go- ing.
 Alonzo was in despair, but Dame For tune had only once turned her back on him, and she staid with him this time until the finish. .,ft
 The night of the landslide, Reggie.s horse ran away with him, and dumped him head foremost into New York sub way excavation. They hauled him out. and Doctor Dunnerundblitz trepanned his skull till the framework of his head look ed like medallion inserted shirtwaist It was such a useless cranium that the doc tor was disgusted.
 Very we'll" suggested Reggie, Tets us buy Alonzo's head!"
 The idea was too brilliant to even dis cusS' SD tney ulu IL ILL once. IL was easy to strike bargain with Alonzo and the doctor was about to perform the opera tion when he had sudden thought.
 Gunner Wetter! he cried First should we put back this lofely ear where it belongs alreatty,"
 The work was delayed to graft the original ear back on Alonzo's head, then the head was transferred to Reggie's body-by purchase
 Now, l have seen so many marvellous things that there Is nothing especially remarkable in all this to me, but never theless, am puzzled by two things. This last operation has only lately been com pleted. and there has been no time to find out. VIII the made-over Reggie be lazy like Alonzo? And, who is this pres ent man, anyhow, Alonzo Rust or Reg gie Vantackle?

WILD HORSES THAT ROAM
 THE HILLS OF NEVADA

outsider is forced to start of in diff ferent direction.
 The region where these wild horses ex- ist both on the flat and on the moun- tain sides, Is gridironed with trails made by the bands going for water The horses never remain near the water courses af- ter satisfying their thirsts preferring the open country.
 Catching these wild horses is. as may well be imagined, exciting and difficult work Among the, men engaged in 1t, the work is called frunnipgXo wild horses and that Is what it amounts to. The vaqueros run them down by superior skill rather than by speed and endurance and force them into some corral or some band of gentle horses where they can be han dled for market. Some two years ago R. c. Blossom, son of J. A. Blossom, and the present owner started to round up this wild stock and turn them to some profit.
 The work had been difficult In the ex- treme, owing to the character of the country, the resources of the horses The principal thing necessary is to keep the horses on the run, giving them no chance to rest, and finally rounding them up when in an exhausted state The sight of a man on horseback is frequent iy enough to start a wild band going for the entire day
 Working upon the knowledge of this fact MT. Blossom last year tried the de- vice of mounting a lot of dummies upon captured horses and turning them loose, counting upon frightening and exhaust ing the wild horses that caught sight of them, and then running them down with fresh animals. The scheme was only partly successful, owing to the fact, MT. Blossom believes, of his not being able to get enough dummies in the field.
 SentineIs Are Posted.
 The difficulties of the chase are en- hanced by the fact that the quarry has learned to post sentinels on the lookout for danger. The country Is nearly all rolling, and the first sight of a band Is usually of one or two lookouts posted on the crest of a knoll plainly on the alert, although many miles away. On attempting to move nearer the entire band appears and after a moments gaze at the intruders starts off in its dirty trot," the stallion in the rear. This trot is as deceptive as the lazy lope of a coyote. It looks easy to overcome, but the pursuer soon finds that 1t eats up the miles with surprising rapidity. and that 1t can be put up all day and all night if necessary.
 When the band is met unexpectedly the most exciting work occurs. At close quar- ters the mustangs break Into n run and the race is to the swift Here. when there is no doubt that each member of his band will strain every nerve the stallion takes the lead and makes every effort to pilot his family out of danger. But let the rider succeed in getting among the escaping horses, swing his riata and at- tempt to "lass' or "cut out" one of the mares and the stallion will turn instant ly and with mouth open. teeth gleaming and mane flying rush at the disturber
