KIDNEYS CLOG UP FROM

We are a nation of meat eaters and

The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid. but

they get sluggish; the eliminative it's

tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy. full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches. nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces of
Jad Salts; take n tablespoonful in n
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid

is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia. and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-

of her long weary vigil of the night just
passed, would have liked to cry comfortably
on someone's shoulder, it did not much mat
ter whose. Then suddenly vision of her
self crying on Troy's shoulder rose before
her eyes, and took away all desire for tears.
She could have laughed at 50 preposterouS

Skye always gave her good appetite. Il

wanting information.
"Of course not, Daura replied almost
sharply. 1--WE never wait breakfast for any

There was no money at Dunulm; but
somehow there were always delightful things
to eat, and nearly everything else necessary
to make life agreeable. Lord Gorme'S enc
mes SAID that, as the picturesque anu Hdilu-
some family was extraordinarily popular
with tradespeople, the Dunulm bills were
divided up among other customers, little
here, a little there, so that, without knowing
it, the countryside paid for the castles COM
forts. His Lordship and the two dear young
ladies must live. Who could refuse them
anything, unless it was fiinty-hearted
bank manager!
The porridge stage was passed, and a
more substantial course came on. Still
there was no sign of Troy. AT last, when
they were lingering over scenes and MARINA
lade, and second cups of tea or coffee, Daura
summoned courage to ask Douglas II Troy
was breakfasting in his room.
"There was no order that heard of, my
Leddy,' he said, and the aged man met
Daura's with a too expressive look, which
turned her blood cold. She knew only too
we'll what the old mans gaze was saying,
"Maybe there'll be ferry good reason why
nothing has been heard of the American
gentleman this morning.

eyes replied, "For mercy's sake, Douglas,
send at once and make some excuse or
other to find out if he's in his room!
The butler understood as well as if she
had spoken aloud, and assured her with a
responsive glance that her instructions
should be carried out.
A few minutes later plate Of hot scenes
gave him pretext to bend over her. The
gentleman is not there my Leddy,' Douglas
whispered in a suppressed and quivering
voice.
FOR an instant everything turned black
before Daura ewes. She had never faint
ed; but she was afraid that she was going to
faint now. She had gone through too much
to bear another blow-a blow like thiS-and
give no sign.
"Why am | not thankful for such news?
Why don't hope that he's disposed of for
ever?" she asked herself. And the putting
of such a question brought back a wave of
conscious vitality. No, she was not going
to faint. after all! The black cloud faded to
a pale purple; then dissolved, and all be-
came clear to her once more. Everybody
lad finished breakfast. Thank Heaven she
could escape! And in a few minutes she
would perhaps know whether or not the
Black Breton room had added new and
modern tragedy to its list of almost forgot
ten horrors.
All those who had been at the table went
their WAYS. Daura did not care in the least
that Alastair and Vane were going to walk
to the golf course for game without even
consulting her, much less suggesting that
she should 90 too. When the Dean had
asked her where to find certain old book
in the library, and had been duly answered,
Daura went into the great hail. and stood
for a moment by an open window, drawing in
long breaths, trying to take counsel with
herself
She had forgotten about the jewels and
her plans concerning them, forgotten the
ruby scarfpin on Vane's breast, forgotten
Emmons' existence, and even forgotten ler
anxiety for George. She could think only
of Troy, and the mystery of the Black Bre
ton room, which had perhaps swallowed him
up, as long ago it was said to have swallowed

hate of Bob Nolan and desire for his disaster

Mogridge had thought of the lake Captains
who, seeing men dying on ships stranded in
surf in which no small boat could live, had
dared to bring their vessels side by side with
wrecks and had lifted men from masts to the
decks of their ships When the terrible cold
and the agony of his exposure was bringing
torture to Mogridge, he had cried out for the
man he hated to appear with his ship; for he
knew that if Nolan were there, Nolan would
come in. But now, when Nolan was COM
ing, Mogridge knew that for himself help
was past and in his dulled, stupefied brain
stirred the sense that Nolan knew that and
had held off and not come till he knew his
enemy could live no longer so that he could
save Louise for himself
Mogridge could now see his wife in the
gray light, and see the dim fog of breath be-
fore her face that told him she was alive.
She seemed to be looking toward him for a
moment, then toward Nolan and his ship.
On it came toward the wreck, tossing back
the waves smashing against it, with the
smoke from its tunnels blown in a straight,
black streak over the white seas seething

with the surge Of the great ground swell as it
steamed into the Swallowing waters, Nolan
brought his new ship in. At the point OF the
bow two men constantly cast the lead and
shouted soundings; but closer in toward the
men on the masts the Kinross pressed;
heavily laden and low in the water, but the
steadier for that, in the rushing sea, and the
more reSolutely handled.
Shrieks of warning, screams of guidance,
came from the men on the aftermaSt. More
slowly the Kinross came as its stem felt the
force of the maelstrom of surf crashing over
the sunken ship; but still on it came, crowd
