Old PeODle i'm LadySmitil

The infirmities of age are many.
Most old people have bad back.
The kidneys are often weak
Or worn out with years of work.
Backache means days of misery.
Urinary troubles, nights of unrest.
.Doan's Kidney Pills have helped to
make life easier for many.
They are doing so for old and
young.
Ladysmith people are learning this.
Read the following local endorse
ment.
Mrs. John Rands, 405 e. Third ST.,
Ladysmith, says: II strained my back
lifting, and it weakened my kidneys.
After that my back ached for nearly
two months. [ was up around the
house most of the time. 1t was all l
could do to bend over or straighten up,

back. My kidneys didn't act at all
right. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved
me right away and one box cured me.

back is as strong as ever, though | am

mos allowed them no time for rest; he
reused them, and kept them on the go
until the priceless supplies had been
collected within the shelter of the
brush. Then he broke open certain
packages and distributed arms among
his followers.
The three Americans, who were
munching a tasteless breakfast of
pilot bread, were joined by Major Ra-
mos. 81 am dispatching a message
to General Gomez headquarters, ask

escort for these supplies. There is

O'Reilly accepted eagerly; then
thinking Of the girl, he said doubt

capable enough as she stood there in

Branch alone declined the invitation,
vowing that he was too weak to bulge.
IF there was the faintest prospect OF
riding to the interior he infinitely pre-
ferred to await the opportunity, he
said, even at the risk of an attack by
| Spanish soldiers in the meantime.
| 1t took O'Reilly but short time to
collect the few articles necessary for
| the trip; indeed, his bundle was SO
small that Norine was dismayed.
"Can't I take any clothes?" she in

Miss Evans pondered this prospect ;

Something in the Cuban's gravity OF
manner gave OReilly warning. A sud-
den fear assailed him. Els voice shook
as he asked:
"What is it? Not bad news?"
There was no need for the officer
to answer In his averted gaze
O'Reilly read confirmation Of his sick
est apprehensions.
"Tell me! Which one?' he whis-
pered.
"Both!''
O'Reilly recoiled; spasm distorted
his chalky face. He began to shake
weakly, and his fingers plucked aim
lessly at each other.
Lopez took him by the arm. "Try to
control yourself" said he. "Sit here
while 1 try to tell you what little /
know. Or would it not be better to
wait awhile, until you are calmer?'
AS the young man madeno answer, ex-
cept to stare at him ina white agony
of suspense, he sighed:
81 will tell you all I know-which
isn't much. EstebaA Vhrona came to
me soon after he and his sister had
fled from their home; he wanted to
Join my forces, but weswere harassed
on every side, and I didn't dare take
| the girl-no woman could have en-
| dured the hardships we suffered. SO
convinced him thatihis first duty was
| to her, rather than to his country, and
he agreed. He was fine boy! He
had spirit. He bought some stolen
rifles and armed a band of his own
| which wasn't bad idea | used to
hear about him. Nobody cared to
modest him, can tell you, until finally
he killed some of the regular troops.
Then Of course they went after him.
Meanwhile he managed to destroy his
own plantations, which Cueto had
robbed him of. You know CuetoY'

swell, Esteban put an end to him
after a while; rode right up to La
Joya one night, broke in the door, and
| macheted the scoundrel In his bed. But
there was a mistake of some sort. 1t
seems that a body of Cobo's vOlun-
| teers were somewhere close by, and
the two parties met. I have never
learned all the details Of the affair, and
the stories of that fight which came to
me are too preposterous for belief.
Still, Esteban and his men must have
] fought like demons, for they killed
some incredible number. But they
were human-they could not defeat a
regiment. 1t seems that only one or
two of them escaped"
"Esteban? Did he"
Colonel Lopez nodded; then he said
gravely: "Cobo takes no prisoners.
was in the Rubi hills at the time, fight
ing hard, and it was six weeks before
I got back into Matanzas. Naturally
when heard what happened, I tried
to find the girl, but Weyler was con.

and there was nobody left in the Yu'
muri; it was a desert"

such q luxury. Raw cane, cOcOnuts,
the tasteless fruita bomba, roots, the
pith from palm tops, these were her
articles of diet, and she did not thrive
upon them. She was always more or
less hungry. She was ragged, too, and
she shivered miserably through the
long, chill nights. Rosa could measure
the change in her appearance only by
studying her reflection from the sur
face Of the springswhere she drew wa
ter, but she could see that she had be-
come very thin, and she judged that
the color had entirely gone frOms her
cheeks. It saddened her, for O'Reilly's
sake.
Time came when Asensio spoke of
giving up the struggle and going In.
They were gradually starving, he said,
and Rosa was i'll the risk of discovery
was ever present. 1t was better to go
while they had the strength than slow.
~ but surely to perish here. He had
heard that there were twenty thousand
reconcentrados In Matanzas; in such

of Rosas waist so that when the lat

formity was complete.

fered SO much for her. She prayed
also that O'Reilly would come before
it was too late.
