MOVABLE AND STONY KIDNEYS.

MOVABLE AND STONY KIDNEYS.
 Normally, the kidneys have very little motion because they are firmly fixed in g. pad of normal fat behind the peritoneuna-the covering of the intestines and the adbd on1ina1 cav dty. When the movement of the kidneys is increased beyond normal, they are known as movable kid neys! and when they are so freely movable that they push the pertto- neum in front of them and circurane in the abdominal cavity. then they are known as floating or wandering g kidneys.
 Among the causes of this condi- tion are tight lacing, faulty posture, relaxed abdominal walls and a loss of the kidneys normal cushion of fat. Occasionally an injury may play a part. In many cases there are no symptoms. Other times there are heterogeneous of digesi on, local dis comfort and nervous symptoms. Oftentimes there would be no symp- toms did not the person know he had this condition.
 If a kidney is a true floating kid ney and it should turn over. twisting the ureter, then of course there is severe colicy pain. nausea. and scanty urinaEion because the urine cannot escape to the bladder. If it is not relieved a tumor of urine forms in the kidneys and the condi- ton known as hydro-nernrosis de- ve1ops. (Hydro-water, and nepnro -kidney)
 There is seldom any danger from a movable kidney. so the authori- ties state. But if there are synnp- toms they may be obstinate. Occa- sionaI1v for inc f1Oatin kidney an operation may have to be performed to fix it in place.
 A snug1y fitting abdominal binder or special corset put on While the patient is lying down, with the put tocks raised so that the kidneys are in place, gives a decided relief. In the sxue floating kidney, physicians prescribe a pad in connection with the binder or sfeciaI corset.
 If you have a movable kidney those exercises that I gave you to

This looks as though we might attribute the most Of them to dietary inperfections, doesn't it :? So that gives us hopes of preventing their forming.
 Stones may be formed directly in the kidneys or in the pe1vis of the h1uuSSS-lIIe Si11cleu pOTI1Ou the ureter attached to the inner side of the kidneys They vary in size from tiny particles of grit to masses an inch Or more in diameter. The min- ute ones are often called renal saGsd Or gravel.

For now, just remember that if you are on balanced diet. not eating meat in excess, nor drinking alcohol nor tea nor coffee in excess, drinking plenty of water between meals and not over-eating, and if you are getting some good exercise, you are pretty sure not to get them.

 Dublin, Oct. 17.-Ireland needs a quiet life, but nobody will give it to her. At least here in Dublin there is never that interlude from excitement which one would associate with an ordinary civilized city. Rebellions you have here nightly. To be sure, there are not many killed, but every night has its excitement. Punctually at midnight some sniper upon roof begins his fusillade. Immediately he is responded. to by the Free State troops, and in a moment machine guns are rattling from all parts. On a re- cent night for four hours such a bat tie went on, but never a drop Of blood was shed. It is likely that a hundred thousand rounds of ammunition was spent.
 Tan terror days were nothing com pared with Dublin's life today, and yet one hears groups of people pass ing through the streets singing There is peace in old Ireland once more." Will there ever be peace here? Perhaps, but not just yet. Those peaceful nights, as one would call them, are worse than the nights of shooting. Three nights running you tions, and you huddle up in bed in the safest corner. The next night you wait and wait. always expecting that the next minute R-i1 bring the sniper's "Bang!" with the response of the ma chine gunners of the Free State.

Then she comes to, she is in John CaIder's ranch house. Calder es- corts her back to her house, and leaves her abruptly. After he had gone, CeceIia hears the sound of shots. Three days later Billy Henderson, owner of the ranch on which the DarroSys were living, arrives from the East. Next day a posse or cow boys stop at the Darrow place and the sheriff announces they are in search for Calder Tor horse stealing. When the man had gone CeceIia, worried for Calder's safety, sits at the s1t- ting room window. Suddenly a figure stepped along the veranGa, and appeared in the flood of light that poured out from the rooTs:. Cecelia fell back with a gasp Of thankfulness. Autely she raised her hand in recognition. It wsss John Calder.''

Cecelia awoke with the feeling that she had been reused.
 It took her a moment to remem- Der her surroundings. A dozen yards away the pony grazed quietly.
 But there was no person near who could have awakened her.
 She raised herself on her elbow and looked around with intentness.
 There was certainly some one near by.
 ''Who it it ?" she murmured.
 The grass rustled faintly; there was sound of some one appr oaching. Some one whispered to her: Don't be frightened"
 It was like a pleasant dream, and Cecelia smiled faintly.
 John Calder was bending over her. His dark face vas troubled. His deep eyes were fixed questionably upon her
 Cecelia was too confused to speak She looked back into Calder's eyes then, with a sigh of relief, fell back on her pillow of soft grass.
 You're faint" Caler said quickly. Here, take a, swallow. It's brandy and will burn, but don't mind. Swal- low some.'
 The hot liquor revived Cecelia.

 Alone last night. Do you mean to since last night? You're faint You've had nothing to eat. Why did mt you tell me?''
 He drew the flask from his pocket again, gathered Cece1fa's unresistfng figure into his arms and poured some or the brandy down her throat Then he carried her to her pony and placed her on the little animals back

CHAPTER VI.


 Left to herself Cecelia threw her self down into one of the living room chairs and sat rigid with elenched hands and compressed lips. Her pride was shaken to its foundation.
 ''Ha1f-breed!"
 Then came a scorching sense of shame-keen, humiIiating shame.
 Then, at last, came pity-pity for the man. For he was a man and she still loved him.
 Animal fright swayed her-coup1ed with an impulse to save the man she loved.
 Must she sit and wait, wait, wait. She sprang to her feet, hurried into her room. donned a riding skirt and heavy jacket, snatched her riding crop from the wall, rushed out in the corral.
 Her pony whfnnied. Cropping in the darkness she found the saddle and flung it on his back, buckled it tight with quick fingers.
 Buoyed up by her desire to find John Calder and to help him, she swung wide of the corral gate and rode out into the dark immens1ty of sky and earth and night
 To strike the trail at the begin ming was an easy matter.
 She rode and rode. She peered ahead for the first< glimpse of Ca1er's g house against the horizon. There was no trail visible now. nothing but the sany stretches, often looking like dim pools of water or patches of silver snow in the vague light.

slipped to the ground, turned the pony to browse on the scanty herb age and lying flat gave herself up to her overpoWering disappointment and grief.
 The dawn was very beautiful. Ce- celia sat up to stare at it Istlessly.
 After the dawn faded and the sun had commenced to climb, Cecelia pull ed herself to her feet and resumed her journey. But now she went on foot to warm her chilled limbs by the exercise. The pony followed obed- iently at her elbow.
 Flaintness and thirst overcame her before she had walked anl distance and she climbed again to her ponys back. There she rode, hanging wear fly to the pommel.
 High noon found her nearly ex- hausted. She found a soft bed of grass over which hung a rock and a sheltering pine.
 Once more leaving the pony to this own devices, she lay down to rest. Her aching limbs relaxed; her anxious mind was 1ulled into a forgetfuIness.
