as the following story proves:
Shortly before the war, when he
held the Irish command, a regiment
was being Unanswered before him on
a field day, and the colonel in charge
succeeded in getting his men mixed up
pretty thoroughly.
However, he went grimly on, and at
last, calling a halt, rode up to Plumer
with an air of Importance.

in the jungle grass far beyond the en-
campment. Major Howard SHE'D the
purse after them and went back to
where Wallace still sat upright on the
bed. He noticed, with a certain grim
ness of spirit, that one Of the Heuten-
ants hands rested ON the child'S fair
hair.
"Well, Wallace?" he asked.

said. HE was to have been hanged
as soon as we captured Santiago.
That's why he was making for the
jungle. He was detected and allowed
to escape with his life, but he had
been working as Spanish agent since
he was drummed out of America. His
career ended at the luckiest moment
for him. He seems to have had the
one redeeming quality of affection for
the child, though if he had had a par
ticle of unselfishness in him he would
have left her behind him. 1 suppose
she was the only thing he had in his
wretched life"
"Of course there's no palliation,"
suggested Wallace. 'sBut the man
may have been born good and-gone
downhill''
He was born rotten" answered the
Major. HE sold his country to pay
his gambling debts. Cuba was about

Of some moving figure in the dense
jungle grass at the edge Of the camp.
The major remained perfectly mo-
tionless, except for his right hand,
which was swiftly Withdrawing his re-
volver from its case. Suddenly he was
transformed into action. He leaped
between the two last tents of the line,
to see a man confront him for an in
slant. In the light of the quarter
moon the major could not distinguish
how the intruder was dressed. It was
evident, however, that he had been
prowling outside the tent which held
Wallace and the child.
'eHalt ~ shouted the major and the
sentry together, and, as the man drop
ped into the grass, the rifle and revOl-
yer rang out simultaneously.
The sentry, shouting to the .guard,
came running up. The major and he
searched the spot, but they found no
body.
"One Of those id Cuban sneak
thieves !" muttered Major Howard as
he replaced his revolver in it's case.
And he hurried away to look after his
men.

SALTS IF DA('KACHY

Drink lots Of water and stop eating
meat for while If your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake up with bnclrache and

Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort TO filter 1t
from the blood and they become sort OF
paraIyzed and loggy When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather Ii bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
Is cloudy, full Of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
10 seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult q good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces Of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts Is made from tho acid Of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 80 it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.

meat eaters. It 10 inexpensive, cannot
