WHY GET UP NIGHTS
DUE TO KIDNEYS?

FLUSH Them OUT THIS DOCTORS WAY
. If you get up nights-have frequent de.

seanty passages-yes, and have backache,
due to excess acidity in the urine, be glad
you're reading this:
Three generations ago DR.. Kilmer, a
famous doctor, found hundreds of his
patients with this trouble. Painstakingly
he made a medicine of 16 herbs, roots,

millions of grateful men and women have
taken it-often with amazing results.
Swamp-Root goes right to work to

Disasters Followed
Finding of Treasure

"Did the crew know about the SUBJ
marine and the treasurer" Dick
asked, approaching her side.
"No, Father and I kept it to our
selves. We brought the money and
gold and other things aboard in a
basket, and hid them in the cabin.
No one suspected we'd found any
thing but fresh gulls' eggs. We
made five trips, and always brought
eggs back with us. When we sailed
away we had enough treasure
aboard to make us rich-rich enough
to buy another schooner and home
ashore"
She smiled at him, as if to indi-
cate that her idea of riches was
moderate, and not of the inordinate,
greedy variety.

added, ''if we'd taken the diamonds
and rings that-that- But couldn't

said then, laughing gently, "that il

and wasn't sure dared touch any
of it. Would you?"
''Blood money put to proper use

"You're entitled to it. You're not
superstitious?"
''No-o-but ever since we had the

pause. 'It's real, and it's aboard

Dick was too surprised to speak
for a time, and stared with incredu-
1ous eyes at her. He drew deep
breath finally, and said:
"Then your fathers babbling

where it was hidden, but was sane

ing the sunlight dancing on the
waves. Dick glanced down at the
head so close to his, and felt once
more the passion of love surging
up within him. He turned away
abruptly; but she put out small
hand to oetain him.

an injured voice.

CHAPTER VIII

When morning dawned they crept
on deck, wan, pale and exhausted,
but happy. A quick glance around
the horizon revealed the presence
of no ship. The lugger had disap-
peared, either driven away by the
storm or safe in some harbor to
which she had scooted at the elev-
enth hour. With the same anxious
thought in their minds, they turned
to each other.
81 hope she went down in the
Storm" murmured Rose, smiling
wickedly.
mo such luck, I'm afraid. Trust
old Tucu to save his skin. But if
he doesn't return 1 won't kick"
"He WILL" replied Rose with con-
viction. Hell come back to seize
the schooner"
"Then we must get away. How
long"-glancing at the top of the
forward mast would it take to rig
up a sail?"
She smiled and shook her head.
''We couldn't do it in month just
by ourselves"
'Then we must drift and drift
until somebody picks us up?"
She frowned and looked thought
full. eff you were a sailor" she
began, land knew"
81 can learn" he interrupted.
"Tell me what to do"
She surveyed the wreckage aloft
with critical eyes. eff we could get
up jib," she mused, ''just enough
canvas to steer by, we might lay
our course for land, if we knew
which way it was"
''We'n lay it any way, even if it
takes us to Europe. It's better than
drifting"
Rose was quiet, staring across the
heaving surface of the ocean. What
is it?" he inquired, advancing to
her side. 'What do you see?'
81 don't know" she replied slow
ly. ''It looks like a cloud on the
horiZon-or-"
"-land?" he interrupted eagerly.
'tIt might be. I don't know.
Things are so deceptive at sea-"
"Where're your sea-glasses?"
"Ask Tucu. The last saw Of
them he had them"
Damn Tucu and his tribe!" NUT
tered Dick impulsively.
They continued to gaze in the di-
rection of the object family out
lined above the horizon.
"We'n believe it's land" he said
finally, land when we get sail
rigged up we'll steer for it."
''If Father was only in his right
mind" she murmured, che could
tell whether it was land or"
Chow is he now?" asked Dick,
when she paused.
''He slept peacefully all night. I
shouldn't wonder if he recovered,
and was better than ever. It may
be that blow on his head will-will-"
''I hope so," he smiled, following
her train of thought, "but we'd bet
ter not put too much trust in mira
cles. If he RECEIVERS his senses, it
will be a miracle, won't it? Per-

THE STORY THUS FAR:

THE STORY THUS FAR:
The crew Of small sailing vessel in
the Caribbean pick up Dick Jordan,
adrift on raft. Dick realizes that he
is among men who are virtually pirates.
They come upon drifting schooner,
with only two people aboard, the de-
mented captain and his daughter, Rose.
Tucu, the pirate captain, captures the
ship and ties up Rose and Dick, who
has tried to help her. Then Tucu and
his crew search the ship for treasure.
Tucu gives up, as storm is brewing.
He takes Dick back to his ship, but Dick
slips away and returns to the schooner.
He arrives Just in time to rescue Rose
from two pirates. They rig up sea-
anchor.
