On the Ahr and Mosselle
 During the Vintage Charming District in Germany Where Nature and Man Work
 in Delightful Harmony.

A visit to the Rhine district during the height of the vintage is a rare treat and the best place to spend the few weeks is in the more favored To- calities of the Mosselle and the Ahr. The Ahr is generally considered the most northernly point where the vine Is cultivated in any quantity, and yis- itors cannot do better than make Re- magen center while exploring the valley and watching the vintage. Re magen. g small town on the left bank of the Rhine. is noted principally for the elegant Gothic Apollinariskirche, as well as for being the place where the greater part of the many million
 bottles of the famous Apollinaris water is loaded in barges for tranship- ment at Rotterdam and other ports to all parts of the world. The church Of St. Apollinaris is on hill little below the town, prettily surrounded by well-kept vineyards. and forming altogether charming introduction to the beautiful Ahrthal The first town of importance to my subject Is Ahr- weller, about nine miles from Re. margen. an interesting place, with a population of nearly 5000.

and artistically-minded traveller. The trade of this ancient town isl might say-exclusively wine. Most of the vineyards between here and Altenahr "a distance of seven miles-are own ed by residents in Ahrweiler. It Is at Walporzheim, short distance from Ahrweiler, that the wild and pictur. esque scenery of the Ahrthal begins. Here the valley narrows. and the road and river have just room to strug. gle through a cleft in the rocks. with a curiously-projecting ledge. called the "Bunte Kuh." Near by. in short walk from the main road. is pic turesquely-sltuated wine house. where the wines of the Ahr may be satisfac- torily sampled, and beautiful views in every direction enjoyed. At Marien- thai we are in the midst of the vine industry, and on the right. adjoining the road, are the ruins of the nunnery of Marienthal. The vineyards appear as a succession of terraces. reaching from the top to the bottom of the hills, and in places are so steep that only by artificial means can sufficient soil be retained to give the necessary foot hold to the plants. However. although the conditions of culture are so diffl- cult, the vines seem to flourish ex. ceedingly, and are now teeming with
 their luscious punches of purple grapes quite ready for the vintagers. In some places steps are cut in the rocks, in others ladders are used for

DOES YOUR BACK ACHE?

That troublesome pain in the small of the back points straight to kidney sickness. Backache will not leave of its own accord, nor will sick kidneys cure themselves. Every day of neg lect makes the cure harder.
 Inactive kidneys cause rheumatism, neuralgia. gout headaches, dizzy spells, nausea, indigestion, weak heart, gravel, stone in the kidneys, dropsy and too frequent passages of urine.
 When you first feel pain in the small Of the back. or first notice anything wrong with the urine, don't delay a moment Give the kidneys the help they need.
 Doan's Kidney Pills have a quick and direct action on the kidneys. They drive out the poisons that infest the blood. cleanse and stimulate the kid neys, regulate the urine, cure hack ache, dizziness and languor, and per manently heal the kidneys.
 The best proof we can offer of the great merit of Deans Kidney Pills is testimony of residents of this city who have used the remedy.
 WATERBURY PROOF.
 James Dews, of 33 Hospital avenue, says:
 "Doan's Kidney Pills are a fine rem edy and I can most highly recommend them. I suffered considerably from severe pains through my loins and across my kiyneys, more severe during changeable weather or when I caught

the Rhine itself than the vineyards about here. The day is fine. and about ten o'clock, when the sun has got some power, the whole scene becomes alive with men, women and children turning out to gather the grapes. It is a case of many hands making light york;" no ''too old at 40" in this business. but every pair of hands. however feeble, are of use at this most critical time. The gathering seems done by magic, for no sooner do the "pickers' commence than the men start bringing down the grapes in specially-prepared baskets to the vats in carts on the high road. in some instances the punches are passed between rollers, and in others pulped in more primitive manner, thus en- abling larger loads to be carried, and the vintage gets on apace. The whole available population of tho valley seems to turn out for the vintage, and the road Is thronged by happy groups. young and old. trundling their little carts joyously to and from the vine- yards; ten horses, but here and there a team of soft-eyed. cream-colored oxen, led by quite child. pass along the road, laden with deliciously sum- warmed grapes that seem to fill the country side with their fragrance.

 Crack! Down tumbled square of tinted wall!

 "0o on." said Mollie. in a low, inex- orable voice. The blue eyes, vera un- reienting. The spartans paled into insisnihcance before this slender young priestess.
 Again the hatchet went up-the gash widened.
 Tho plaster was all down-the gray dust was settling over the pretty china and silver. over the polished tables and chairs, over the blue and tho pink Paris gowns, over the black and the golden heads.

 There was glitter of silver, . gleam of gold-in the opening! Tho Girl in Pink felt shiver creep down her back; her heart throbbed wildly. And Mollie was right! Her dreams were true!
 It was silyer-hsavy, solid silver wrapped in soft, old, yellowed paper that plainly told of the passing of the years.
 Slowly, reverently, Mollie unwrapped them piece by piece. The blue eyes were luminous. the sweet mouth trem- ulous.

Another couple of miles brings one to Altenahr, the crowning sight of the valley. The cas. tie, perched on a rock several hun. dred feet high. its slopes covered with vineyards, appears to entirely block the valley, and one wonders what Is to become of the river, to say nothing of the road. However, the river sweeps round the base of the castle for about mile and a half. return. ing to nearly the same point.

Moselles of the delicately favored kind demand every care in this direction. The bet. ter way of seeing the Moselle Is by steamer; but. owing to the tourist sea. son being practically over before vint- age time, some other way must be found. The railway Is not very con- venient. but. 1t being matter of "Hobson's choice" the visitor can rail to Berncastle tSues station)), changing at Wengerohr At Bern castle there is good old-fasffsoned inn.

 I consider the Moselle much moro attractive than the Rhine. The banks when not under the cultivation of the vine are thickly covered with woods. while the innumerable villages. to- gether with the complicated windings of the river and the undulatIng hills. are a source of pleasure not easily forgotten. The people one meets could not be kinder: they are extreme iy cheerful. and the evenings in the hotels have all the delights of the family circle.

 Then he. too. went suddenly giddy. Seizing Nollie about her slender waist, he spun her round and round the room. The Girl in Pink gathered up the tail of her gown, she was going to join the | revel.
 Suddenly everyone stood still. There was a confusion of voices, tramplins of heavy feet in the hall, and the next moment the door was flung violently open. and two brawny policemen stood on the threshold.
 Just keep your place, partner. Promanadin' ain't the ticket just now. ' The big policeman smiled pleasantly. The man in the dust-coyered clothes grew pale.
