Pain is natura.s siRnal

ram ts natures signal or distress, a warning that must not be ignored Those sharp twinges in the back, those stabilize pains that follow any sudden twist or turn, are simply signs of hidden danger in the kidneys.
 No trouble starts more easily. gains ground more rapidly. nor proves more often fatal than any disorder of the kidneys. All the outward ap- pearances of health may remain until a terrible disease had taken root.

 "Many's the time I've kissed her." said Steve. There was an evil smile on his face as he spoke.
 The devil at Martins elbow whis- pered in his ear. swiftly, subtly.
 For Steve's words were insults to the girl who, only the night before, had promised to be Martins wife. The two men had been friends, then rivals for Mary's favor. Steve vented his rage in slurs against the wcman.
 Yes, many's the time I've kissed her,s he repeated
 The two men were alone (save for the deviD on the roof of the vast building. There was none to interfere -the devil encouraged. Martins clenched right hand shot out. Steve who had sought to provoke his foe to fight. had not expected to succeed so soon. The blow caught him on the jaw, and sent him tottering back ward.
 He staggered back and back to the roofs very edge. There, his feet still
