WHEN A TONIC

II You Are Run Down and Debit.
tated the Health Can Only
Be Restored by Building
In the Blood.

When the body is weak and the blood
thin it is sometimes difficult to find tho
cause unless a wasting illness has pre-
coded the decline in health.
Obscure influences, something I'M
healthful in one surroundings or work,
may lead to a slow impeachment OF
the blood and an enfeeblement of the
whole body. When serious stage has
been reached there seems to be nothing
that will account for it.
In such cases a complete change OF
climate or of work will sometimes effect
a cure. It takes a long time, however,
and for the great majority of sufferers
Is out OF the question.
Mrs. G. P. Boutwell,, of Clear Water,
Mimi, whose husband is a hardware
merchant there, says:
"About two years ago, when was
living at West Union, Iowa, l was all
run down through hard work and worry.
I called doctor who said WAS suffer-
ing from general debility. He treated
me for some time but was unable to
do much for me. I had cold chills all
of the time and seemed to be nearly
bloodless. / could not keep anything
on my stomach and lived on eggs and
milk for some time. My stomach was
sour and the gas on it kept me from
getting much sleep at night. The doc
tors medicine made my stomach feel
worse.
"My father had used DR.. Williams
Pink Pills with benefit and advised me
to try them. After a week or so Icould
notice achange. Isoon became stronger,
my appetite came back and the head
aches disappeared. was then able to
eat without distress and began to domy
work. had good color and gained
in flesh. DR.. Williams Pink Pills can
not be praised too highly"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are general
tonic and are useful in all diseases aris-
ing from poor blood or weakened nerves,
such as sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, pale and sallow COM
plexions and many forms of weakness.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box;
six boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Will

CHAPTER VIII.

Preparations for breakfast were to-
ward; an aroma Of coffee and bacon
hung in the still, crisp air. The troop
ers were bustling about as If moth
ing had happened, laughing and jok-
ing, cleaning rifles, feeding the me-
hara, striking tents, drawing water
from the palm-ringed we'll round
which the camp had been made.
Out Of sight beyond the edge of the
sunken oasis a detachment was dig
ging shallow trenches for the dead.
In the open Chambret lay dying, a
stark grim figure In the growing
light. O'Rourke sat by his side, near
the head Of the improvised litter, ell
bow in knee. chin in hand, eyes fixed
on the face of his friend.
Just before sunrise the man on the
litter stirred, moaned, opened his eyes
and turned his head to see O'Rourke.
He smiled wanly. Mon ami" he said
in tones, faint yet thick.
The Irishman rose. Don't talk"
said he. "Ill be calling the surgeon"
But Chambret stayed him with a
gesture. "Has he not told you, dear
friend?" he asked.
O'Rourke hesitated. Told me
what?"
THAT my wound was fatal-mortal?
Surely he must have told you.
1t is so. Presently die Con-
tent. Let him be-this sur
geon: I am beyond his aid. Attend

Glynn grunted and flushed, shame

the retort on his lips by curt repe-

O'Rourke glanced at him languidly,
yawned, and smiled an exasperatins

sky: a flash Of fire ahead, spitful
snap and-pttt!-the song Of bullet
speeding past his head.
The guide pulled up with a jerk.
O'Rourke, refining in desperately,
swung his camel wide to avert the
threatened collision. simultaneously
the sharp "Qui vive?" of a French
sentry rang out, loud and sweet to
hear.
THANK God!" said the adventurer
in his heart. And aloud, Friends"
he cried, driving past the sentry in a
cloud Of dust.
By blessed miracle the man was
quick Of wit, and swift to grasp the
situation-of which, however, he
must have had some warning from
the rattle of firing. He screamed
something in O'Rourke's ear as the
latter passed, and turning threw him
self fiat and began to pump the trig-
ger of his carbine, emptying the maya
zine at the on-sweeping line Of Tou-
aregg.
The alarm was hardly needed;
O'Rourke and the guide swept on
over the slip of a depression in the
desert and halted in the midst of q
camp already Quickened and alive
with shadowy figures running method
ically to their posts, carbine and &C
coutrement cleaning In the moon
light: men of the camel crops, hard
ened to and familiar with their work.
They buckled down to it in q bust
ness-like way that thrilled the heart
Of O'Rourke. In trice they were
doubling out past lines Of tethered
mehara, past the white hillocks Of
the officers shelter-tents and, like the
sentry, throwing themselves down
upon the ground to take shelter OF
whatever inequalities the face of the
desert offered; and their firing ringed
the bivouac with fringe Of flame.
O'Rourke slipped from his camel
and turned to watch the skirmtsh.

Yet at the critical moment, when
it seemed that of a surety there was
no stopping them. they divided and
swung round the camp in two wide
circles, scattering into open order and
firing as they scattered. Here and
there horse fell, rider threw out
his hands and toppled from his sad
die, camel seemed to buckle at full
tilt like faulty piece of machinery
and SO gaps appeared in the flying
wings.

NEW YORK, Aug. s.-Profes-
v sional baseball players of the
major leagues have organized
mutual protective association.
Dave Fultz, former star outfleld-
er Of the New York American
league club and now a lawyer is
president of the new organization.
1t Is the first time, since the Broth
erhood days, that the playing fra
ternity has been united in common
principle, and, while as yet mem
bership is confined to athletes of
the National and American leagues,
1t is purposed ultimately to take
into the fold every active member
of the many minor leagues working
under the present system of organ
lied baseball.
The Mutual Protective Associa-
ton of Baseball Players was per-
fected last Sunday at the Office of
Mr.. Fultz. The preliminary meet
ing had been held two weeks ear
lier. At that time the American
league players pledged themselves
to the new cause. 1t but remained
for the National league players last
Sunday to fall into line to assure
the success of the venture.
Every National league club was
represented either in person or by
one or more of It's players or by
proxy. There had been a full rep
resentatiOn of American league per-
formers two weeks earlier. BY mu-
tual consent OF the players Of both
major leagues, Mr. Fultz was elect
ed president. AS such he was EN-
powered to draw up articles of
constitution which will be ratified
within the next couple Of weeks
and, when approved, made public
No Idea of Unionism.
According to Mr.. Fultz, president
Of the new organization. there is
no idea of unionism behind the
project. Interviewed last night
Mr.. Fultz appeared somewhat reti-
cent in discussing the plans of the
players. He finally consented to
outline very briefly the purposes of
the newly formed association.
The ball players are not antago-
nistic toward the present form of
baseball government" said Presi-
dent Fultz. There is no menace
intended toward the National Com
mission But it is felt that great
good will come Of the players hay
ing proper representation in the
court that governs them. Players
have no voice in National Commits
sion matters, nor have they hope of
being represented in the supreme
court OF baseball. While the integ-
rity Of the National Commission is
above reproach. it is felt generally
among the playing fraternity that
the ordinary laymen do not meet
with the consideration of the great
star.
The small fry is timorous about
asserting its rights; it feels appre-
hensive of the power of the mag

Johnson Of the American league is not
opposed to baseball players protective
association, which was outlined at a.
recent meeting in New York of major

johnson said today that a union mod

legitimate lines as boosters" for the
game.
