IA CONSTANT ANNOYANCR7

Half the nervousness, half the irri tability that is so common in every. day life. is really sickness. and ir most cases a condition that accom-. panies kidney trouble.
 It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons, but when the kid neys are sick, and not doing their duty, the uric acid poisons permeates the body, and attacks body, brain and nerves. The irritation causes ner- yousness. irTitability, headache, dizzy spells; makes you languid. unfit for work. and inclined to worry over trihes- Besides. there is nothing more annoying than a bad back, and baekache Is the most common sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning. suffer day and night with a dull aching In the back, and It hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool. and get the Kidneys well No person can feel cheerful and healthy if the kidneys are the least bit affected. A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills, taken in the beginning. will set the kidneys right

Where Animals Beat Men.

Mature faking aside" said the FOG keeper, mice won't eat oleo. It is a fact. Lay pat of oleo and pat of butter side by side and in the morning the butter will be gone, but the oleo will remain untouched.
 "Oh, yes, some animals are incredi- ply nice about their food The otter, when living wild, will only eat one piece, one mouthful out of each fish he catches. He will land a beautiful trout, but only one bite of it from the back, just behind the neck, is good enough for him. The rest he losses aside. This epicure often kills dozen fine, big trout to make one meal.
 "Chimpanzees have very delicate tastes. A banana or a pineapple that to you seems delicious to a chimpan- zee may be revolting. His taste is keener. Grapes grown in hothouses where sulphur fumes are used as an insecticide taste all right, to a man, but a chimpanzee will have none of them.

 any one what I have told you. Now I'll show you how Hokar taught me-" She jerked the handkerchief tight, but Sylvia got her hand under the cruel bandage and shrieked aloud in de- spair. At once she heard an answer ing shriek. It was the voice of Deb orah.
 Maud darted to the door and locked it. Then she returned and. fiinging Sylvia down, tried again to tighten the handkerchief. her face white and fierce and her eyes glittering like demons.
 "Help-help" cried Sylvia, and her voice grew weaker. But she struggled and kept her hands between the hand kerclfief and her throat. Maud tried to drag them away fiercely. Deborah was battering frantically at the door. Paul ran round to the window. It was not locked. and Maud, struggling with Sylvia, had no time to close if. With a cry of alarm Paul threw up the window and jumped into the room At the same moment Deborah. putting her sturdy shoulder to the frail door burst it open. Beecot flung himself on the woman and dragged her back. But she chung like a leech to Sylvia with the black handkerchief in her grip. Deborah. silent and fierce. grabbed at the handkerchief and tore 1t from Maud's grasp. Sylvia, half strangled. fell back in a faint. white as corpse. while Paul struggled with the savage and baffled woman.
 You've killed her" shouted Deb orah and laid her strong hands on Maud. you devil-' She shook her hercely. I'll kill you." and she shook her again.
 Paul threw himself on his knees beside the insensible form of Sylvia and left Deborah to deal with Maud. That creature was gasping as Mrs.

Tawsey swung her to and fro. Then
 she began to fight, and the two women
 crashed around the little room, upset
 ting the furniture. Paul took Sylvia
 In his arms and shrank against the
 wall to protect her.
 l A new person suddenly appeared,
 no less a woman than Matilda. When
 she saw Maud in Deborah's grip she
 flew at her sister like a tigress and
 dragged her of. Maud was free for
 a moment. Seeing her chance, she
 scrambled out of the window and ran
 through the garden down the road to-
 ward the station. Perhaps she had 2
 vague idea of escape. Deborah, ex-
 erting her great strength, threw Ma
 tilda aside and without cry ran out
 of the house and after the assassin
 who had tried to strangle Sylvia. Ma tilda, true to her salt, ran also to help Maud Krill, and the two women sped in the wake of the insane creature who was swiftly running in the direc- tion of the station. People began to look round, a crowd gathered like magic, and in a few moments. Maud was being chased by quite a mob of people. She ran like a hare. Heaven only knows if she hoped to escape aft CT her failure to kill Sylvia, but she ran on blindly. Into the new street of Jubileetown she sped, with the roar ing mob at her heels. She darted down a side thoroughfare, but Debo rah gained on her silently and with a savage look in her eyes. Several po- licemen joined in the chase, though no one knew what the flying woman had done. Maud turned suddenly up the slope that led to the station. She gained the door, darted through 1t, upset the man at the barrier and with clinched fists stood at bay, her back to the rails. Deborah darted forward. | Maud gave a wild scream and sprang | aside. Then she reeled and fell over the platform. The next moment a train came slowly into the station, and the wretched woman was lnder the cruel wheels. When she was picked up she was dead and al. most cut to pieces. Lady Rachel and 1emuel Krill were revenged.

"Copy Readinq" HoweIIs,

The London Atheneum says of the following Howells paragraph that it is the best sentence perhaps in any re. cent English book. Describing a cer- tain ancient edifice, MT. Howells writes and the Atheneum quotes:
 What, in the heart of all this bios. soming, was the great cathedral it. self when we came in sight of it but a vast efflorescence of the age of faith, mystically beautiful in form and gray as some pale exhalation from the mold of the ever cloistered, the deeply reforested past"
 Very fine, all must admit. But wouldn't that paragraph have been meat and drink to the man who used to mark up MT. Howells' newspaper copy back at Bucyrus, O. If Howells the reporter had written that for the Bucyrus Blade he would have found it in the paper next day about like this:-
 'The cathedral, with flowers all around it, looks fine. It is 400 years old and needs paint. ."-Galveston News.

10 1YLVIA was i'll for long tim,
 IoI after that terrible hour. Al
 IsWs5I though Maud had not sue
 kSz.s9j ceeded in strangling her, ye
 the black silk handkerchief left marks
 on her neck. Then the struggle, tho
 shock and the remembrance of the
 horrors related by the miserable wom
 an threw her into nervous fever, and
 it was many weeks before she recov
 cred sufficiently to enjoy life. Debo
 rah never forgave herself for having
 left Sylvia alone and nursed her with
 fierce tenderness which was the re- suit of remorse.'
 ''If that wretch 'ad killed my pretty" she said to Paul, "I'd ha' killed her, if wos hanged fur it five times over"
 God has punished the woman," said Paul solemnly.
 Serve Ger right" rejoined Deborah heartlessly. What kin you expect fur good folk if wicked ones, as go stran- gulating people, don't git the Lord down on. lem. Oh, MT. Beecot," Deb- orah broke down into noisy tears, the 'orrors that my lovely one 'ave tole me- i Sich murders and gory assassins!"
 T gathered something of this from what Sylvia let drop when we came back from the station," said Beecot anxiously. Tell me exactly what she said, Deborah"
 "Why that thing as is dead, an may she rest in a peace she don't deserve, tole how she murdered Lady Rachel Sandal an my ole master"
 Deborah" cried Beecot, amazed. You must be mistaken"
 No, I ain't, sir. That thing guy my lily queen the 'orrors. Jes' you ear, Mir. Beecot, and creeps will go up your back. LOT ave mercy on us as don't know the wickedness of the world"
 T think we have learned something of it lately, Mrs. Tawsey," was Paul's grim reply. But tell me-
 'Wot my pure angel sunbeam said? will, and if it gives you nightmares don't blame me-" and Mrs. Tawsey, in her own vigorous, ungrammatical way, related what she had heard from Syl- via, who was now sleeping quietly
 Paul went to find Hurd and related all that had taken place The detective was equally mortified along with Bee cot when he heard of Sylvia's danger and set to work to prove the truth of what Maud had told the girl. He sue ceeded so we'll that within a compara- lively short space of time the whole | matter was made clear. Mrs. Jessop, alias Mrs. Krill, was examined; Tray | was found and questioned: Matilda | was made to speak out, and both Jes- sop and Hokar had to make clean breasts of it. The evidence thus pro- cured proved the truth of the terrible confession made by Maud Jessop to the girl she thought to strangleg Hurd was amazed at the revelation.
 'Never call me detective again" he said to Paul, for I 1m an ass. thought Jessop might be guilty or that Hokar might have done it. could nave taken my Bible oath that Mrs. hrill strangled the man, but I never 'or one moment suspected that smiling young woman"
 Oh" Paul shrugged his shoulders. she was mad"
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-09-18

Whatever made her tell Miss Nor man what she had done?" said Hurd.
 Because she never thought that Syl via would live to tell any one else, That was why she spoke and thought to torture Sylvia, as she did, in the same way as she tortured that wretch ed man, Lemuel. If I hadn't come earlier to Rose cottage than usual, and if Deborah had not met me unexpect- edly at the station, Sylvia would cer- tainly have been killed. And then Maud might have escaped. She laid her plans we'll. It was she who in. duced Matilda to get her sister to come to Kensington for chat" , But Matilda didn't know what Maud was up to?"
