Courage. Manuella," he kept whis.

got to help you out"
Captain Hardin leaned over the side.
Let the woman and child come
aboard" he shouted; back there, men
back. Welcher, let them come aboard"
"Ah-h-h," cried Ilington in a tone
Of relief. With a final almost super
human effort he lifted Manuella to the
rail of the Princess, safely aboard. He
was about to pass the child to her. but
young Neal Hardin was holding out
his arms.
I'm a good catch" said young Neal;
| put 1t there"
Ilington glanced for one instant into
the frank face of Neal Hardin and the
captain Of the ship. He drew a sigh Of
relief. He nodded swiftly.
Whatever happens, thank God she
is in good hands," he said.
Captain Hardin put his lips to his
megaphone.
Put her about there" he shouted
out; full steam ahead"
Even as he said it there was a fresh
shower of huge red cinders; some ash
some in molten state. There was an
added cry Of agony from shore and
sea. Even the refugees aboard the
ship covered under the hail Of fire In
terror. Suddenly at the captains side
Manuella, the native woman, uttered
a gasp. A red-hot cinder Of unusual
size had smitten her upon the temple
as she crouched low over little Annette
Ilington. Clutching the captain by
the arm she fell prone upon the deck.
Young Neal Hardin sprang forward
and caught the child before she fell.
Manuella's breath came fast-the
thinnest portion of her skull had been
pierced by the jagged edges of the
cinder. Wild-eyed and frantic. but
we'll realizing that she was upon the
point of death, she caught young Neal
by the blouse.

Neal clutched the warm bundle In
his arms and staggered with it aft.
As Mrs. Hardin unwound the shawl
| something dropped clinking to the
cabin floor. Neal seized it and handed
1t to his mother. :.
"It's a bag of gold" he said.
No sooner had he said 1t than an
other object fluttered to the floor
an oilsilk packet sealed with sealing
wax. Mrs. Hardin placed the two upon
a small stand set into the side wall.of
the cabin. She continued to unwind
the shawl. Again they started. Pinned
to the child's dress was a crumpled
piece of paper, and upon the piece OF

SALTS # KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral
ize irritating acids-Splendid
for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and indame,
causing a burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
from your pharmacist and take a table,
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine so it no longer is a source Of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, effervescent
