In Violation of Orders
BY FOXCROFT DAVIS

Der One was seen lmping down the
river, looking more like coal barge
than Number Ore Of crack torpedo
boat division. The sacred paint upon
her sidcg-that is to say what was
visible of them-was scraped and dirty,
her nose was buried despondently in
the water and she appeared to have
been taking a mud bath somewhere up
the river.
She stopped long enough to transfer
Admiral Harbord TO Number Five,
which was as spick aud span as bride
groom. The admiral 5 parting orders
to Balesticr were:
''Take your damned vessel down the
river and transfer your damned arms
and ammunition TO the Porcupine and
do II in your own damned way and then
report to me here.
Ba!estier joyfully accepted these or
ders and Number One crawled of, the
envy and admiration of her consorts.
In her little cabin sat Balestier and
Hyde and Stubbs-

what do you mean by locking up a
British vice-admiral in this here beastly
hole and keeping him prisoner! For

meekly. At that very moment StUbbs,

Admiral Harbord. dashng down
stairs, made good time to the water s.
edge, and. getting into the launch.
1t takes to tell it. There was something
sulphphurous in his eye as he came face
to face with Balestier, grimy, dirty and
sweating, but smiling, at the gangway.
May / see you for a few moments
in the cabin7" said the admiral, in
his worst quarterback voice.
The Japanese stewards had no diff
Guilty whatever in hearing what passed
when the admiral and Balestier were
alone in Number One IS little cabin. The
| admiral was roaring.

voice of thunder. "the meaning of what
you have been doing For the transac-

visible to me all the time. You were
ordered to make Reconnaissance only,
| and you took IT upon yourself to carry
out plan in direct, absolute and mu.

Balestier, assuming a look of inno-
cence, answered:

part. As | took the vessel mp the river

''I couldn Il make a signal" bawled
the admiral. "I was locked up in the

That Lame Back Means
Kidney Disease
And to Relieve the Lame and Aching Back,
You Must First Relieve the Kidneys

There is no question about that
at all--for the lame and aching
back is caused by a diseased con-
dition Of the kidneys and bladder.
1t is only common sense, any way
that you must cure condition
by removing the cause Of the con-
dition. And lame and aching back
are not by any means the only
symptoms of arrangement of the
kidneys and bladder. There are a
multitude of well-known and I'M
mistakable indications of more or
less dangerous condition. Some of
these are, for instance: Extreme
and unnatural lassitude and weari-
ness, nervous irritability, heart ir-
regularity, nerves on edge" sleep
lessness and inability to secure
rest, scalding sensation and sedi-
ment in the urine, Inflammation of
the bladder and passages, etc.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder
Pills are an exceptionally meritori-
GUS remedy for any and ell affec-
lions or diseased conditions of
these organs. These Pills operate
directly and promptly-and their
beneficial results are at once felt.
They regulate, purify, and effec-
tually heal and restore the kid
neys, bladder and liver, to perfect
and healthy condition-even in
some of the most advanced cases.
