bay that would take it to the sea.

She fell silent a moment. standing
beside him.
The winds of God are heavy on my
soul, Sandry," she said at last ear
nestly, "and they tell me that you
are sad. What can do-oh, what can
do to help?"
There was in her voice the simple
cry of sympathy so intense that it
was anguish, and Sandrys lips tight
ened in the darkness.
For heady moment he could scarce
resist the bidding of the lawless thrill
that she was ever capable of sending
through him, to take her into his arms
as he had done that day when she

For Poppy Ordway had heard the ca.

passion in her took fright. and a furi-

upon her heart.
The next morning he found upon his
window-ledge handful of fern and a
spray of tiny. yellow. waxIke flowers

the little streams tore down the noun

took them in and put them away in a

1t was strong.

encountered Siletz the bright smile
she gave her covered sudden hatred
that had sprung, full grown, from a
mans low whisper; and the bad times
that followed for the girl had their
inception then.

When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the

backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather Is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine Is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels oft

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night
Either consult good, reliable physl-

take a tablespoonful In a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
