CARNATIONS of the soldiers.
All Countess Ellenburg's ambitions
were at stake. For Stenovics and Stat
nitz it was a matter of life itself now,
SO daringly had they raised their hands
against King Sergius. Countess Ellen

ed all alone in deserted palace, but
not one of the three had hesitated. At
the head of a united army. In the name
Of united people. Stafnitz had de-
manded the proclamation of young
Alexis as king. For an hour Stenovics
had made show Of demurring; then
he bowed to the national will. That
night young Alexis enjoyed more honor
than he had asked of Lepage the valet
he was called not prince. but majesty.
He was king in Slavna. and the first
work to which they set his childish
hand was the proclamation of a state
of siege.
Slavna chose him willingly or be-
cause 1t must at the bidding of the
soldiers, but Volseni was of another
mind. They would not have the Ger
man woman's son to reign over them.
Into that faithful city the wounded
king threw himself, with all his friends.
The body of Mistitch lay all day and
all night by the wayside Next morn
ing at dawn the kings grooms came
back from Volseni and buried 1t under
clump OF trees by the side of the lane
running down to Lake Talti. Their
curses We're the only words spoken over
the grave. and they flattened the earth
level with the ground again that none
| might know where the man rested who
had lifted his hand against their master.
The king was carried to Volseni sore
stricken. They did not know whether
he would live or die. He had a dan
gerous wound In the. lungs. and. to
make matters worse the surgical skill
available at Volseni was very print
tive.
But In that regard fortune brought
aid and brought also to Sophy strange
conjecture of the new life with the old.

He was all alone. The door stood open.

But who else was dead, and who
alive and who king in Slavna?
He forced himself to rise and hur-

ace. They were deserted. There was
nobody to hinder him, nobody Of whom

came from the direction of st. Michae's

The prince rode his fastest, but faster

 Recommended Prescription. Of Vegetable Ingredients Which Any- One Can Prepare at Home. Does fits Work We'll and Few suf ferers Fail To Find Inn-
 mediate Relief.
BEWARE OF BAcKAcHE NOW.

There are more cases of kidney trou- bie here now than ever before, while recent reports show that more people succumb each year to some form of kidney disease than any other cause.
 When there is sickness. examine the urine. Rheumatism Is only a symptom of kidney trouble. It Is nothing more or less than excessive uric acid in the blood, which the slug gish. inactive kidneys have failed to sift. out. leaving it to decompose and settle about the joints and muscles. causing intense suffering; frequently resulting in deformity; often reach- ing the heart, when death ensues.
 Pains across the back. frequent painful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble: many cases of stomach disease, head ache, pain in the heart. inactive liver. etc, are but symptoms: the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogged kidneys.
 simple test of the urine Is to void a small quantity in a bottle or glass and let 1t stand over night; next morning. if there is a reddish brick dust sediment, or 8 white fleecy sub stance present, either consult sonae reputable physician or take a good vegetable treatment. The following prescription is recommended highly in these cases, and the sufferer can mix 1t at home: Compound Kargon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandeiion, one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sar- saparilla, three ounces. Shake we'll and use in teaspoonfui doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 Where any of the symptoms enu- merated above are present, good re- suits are sure to follow immediately the use of this simple prescription.

Troubles Of Venezuela
W-.Preparationo For War.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

erican or one Englishman with ( re volver could whip all of Castro's army. The tale about the rigid guns at La Guayra Is hardly to be credited, es- peciaily in view of the fact that two officers of the Dutch cruiser Gelder- land told the writer that they watched the same rigid" guns being turned on their ships when 1t paid its last strain ed visit to the waters of that port.
 The forts guarding Puerto Cabelio and Haracaibo also have few modern coast defense guns. That they are not altogether useless was proved dur ing the so-called Pacific" blockade of the Venezuelan ports by Germany. England. and Italy. The German gun boat Panther went down to Maracaibo and attempted to pass Fort San Carlos. The Venezuelan gunner was on the Job and he put q shot into the Panther which sent her away post-haste. That was on March ga. A few days later a large German ship came and reduced the fort with c half dozen shots and sent the garrison scurrying Into the woods. But notwithstanding the lat ter event, the Venezuelan garrison at San Carlos still makes merry on March 23. celebrating the great victory of the Venezuelan arms over the forces of the Emperor Of Germany.
 Notwithstanding the existence of several fairly good forts and a few guns. 1t is not to be doubted that tn 0 Dutch fleet will be able to establish an effective blockade. So far as the navy and defense is concerned, venezuela has practically no means of keeping the Dutch from doing what they please.
 When it comes to the question of in- vaston, although such action on the part of the Dutch is not anticipated, there is an entirely different situation. General Castro has an army of 7.600 men which Is better clothed and equp- ped than any army Venezuela has ever had. The soldiers are we'll armed and ammunition. Just now they are bet- ter fed than the majority of civilians. which is an important feature.
 Presuming that they would remain loyal to Castro's government. of which there is doubt in some quarters. these soldiers could easily make 1t in- teresting for a much larger body of the better trained and better equipped DutchTnen. Probably 5000 of Castro's soldiers are in and about Caracas. If the Dutch were to land an invading party at La ouayra to come over the eight miles of mountain road to Car acas it would be easy for one Venezu- elan. with his advantage in knowledge of the road and the country. to hold off five invaders. The great big "if'' in the situation is the question of loy- atty. There is no doubt that an at- tempt to overthrow Castro will come on the heels of tho blockade; but as a restraining influence. he has promised to shoot as a traitor every man who engages in revolution while the country is at war with foreign pow CT.
