Allen.
The boy grew and throve in mind
and body. For time he prattled in a
language none who saw him was able
to comprehend, but he learned English
quickly and soon forgot the jargon of
his babyhood. The shadows of mys-
terry that fell over his coming lengthen-

by others that fell across them. Before
he could have told the story all men,

riddle of his coming and again that Of

was a big, blond boy of fifteen, with
red cheeks and large eyes, blue and

beauty of the woods and begun to
study the wild folk that live in holes
and thickets. He had fine face. You
would have called him handsome, but
not they among whom he lived. With
them handsome was as handsome did,
and the face of man, If it were clean

or compliment, but there was that in
his soul which even now had walked

riddle none was able to solve.

Unless early and correct treatmentfs
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia K. PinlSHam's
Vegetable Compound is the mosbeeffi-
cient treatment for chronic kidney
troubles of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins, backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urinatioh, swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a

lose no time in commencing treatment

saving her life. XII

Movement Began.
Berlin, Jan. 30-Russian rouble
notes scored sensational drop during
the DAY Of 115 to 212.75. Russian
exchange also fell heavily, sight going
down to 21240, March to 210h and

figures reached since the present

A number of causes are assigned for
the decline, the principal one being
the weakening of the Russian Impe-
rial banks gold stock in comparison
with its note circulation. A fact fur
ther referred to is that the latest issue
of treasury notes was made a direct
burden upon the banks gold reserve
at the option of holders. As a more
