Died of Premature Old Age

How many times we hear of compara lively young persons passing away when they should have lived to be 70 or so years of age. This fatal work is usually attri- buted to the kidneys, as, when the kidneys degenerate, it causes auto-intoxieation, The more injurious the poisons passing thru the kidneys the quicker will those noble organs be degenerated, and the sooner they decay.
 It is thus the wisest policy, to prevent premature old age and promote long life, to tighten the work of the kidneys This can be done by drinking plenty of pure water all day long, and occasionally talk ing a little Anuric before meals. This can be obtained at almost any drug store You will find Anuric more potent than lithia for it dissolves uric acid as water does sugar.

CHAPTER XVII.


These words, and the laughter with
which they were greeted, made clear
to my mind the whole truth of the
uprising. 1t was not so much the des-
tination of the ship. or the nature of
our cargo, which accounted for the
widespread spirit of mutiny aboard,
as 1t was the Mccain money. These
other things had been used to influ-
ence the men, to convince them that
they had right to seize the vessel,
and refuse to continue the voyage, but
1t was the glitter of the Mccain gold
which had won converts to this theory.
One thing was certain-no argument
of mine, no threat of punishment,
would have any present effect on the
fellows. While there might be among
them some who would listen to rea-
son, this big Irish brute of Dugan
had control, and he could only be over
come by physical force.
The one and only hope lay in my
escape; in my raising an alarm in
sufficient time to warn Leayord of
danger. He was fighting man, and
armed; one cry would put him on his
guard, and his position on the poop
would enable him to put up strong
defense. These thoughts flashed
through my mind as I stood there,
staring into Dugan's face. I dared not
glance about, or seem to harbor any
plan Of escape, yet knew that all was
clear between me and the three steps
leading to the deck. and that the slid
Ing door was not hooked. The fellows
were gathered closely about us in a
half-circle, Dugan alone being within
reach of my arm. The only weapon
l saw was sea boot beside chest
to the right. The fellow must have
felt some vague glimmer of my pur-
pose, for he gripped my shoulder, his
iron fingers pinching the flesh.
None o. that now" hoarsely. "You
can't fight the whole"

could throw into the swift blow, and

but to talk with him. This is my

The other did not resist, only to
mutter behind his teeth. The gun still
glistened in his hand, but l felt no
fear of the fellow, and returned The
stool to the deck.
"Tell me what you mean, and be
brief about it."
McCann's eyes met mine, and read
In them uncertainty. He was not yet
quite sure that he had my measure !;
how far 1 would resist, or what forpi
my opposition would take. Perhaps
for moment money did not seem to
him quite so important weapon as
he had found it elsewhere.
"Tm sorry the crew beat you up

ically. "They are q rather rough
