"Most assuredly 1 am,” Irene replied, warmly.

"But I never helped you any.” "You have helped me, perhaps, when you knew it not,” returned Irene. "You have spoken cheering words to me; and during the very few visits you have paid me, have opened my thoughts and feelings to those nobler aspirations which can lift the soul above the pangs of earth; Hence I love thee.” "Do you?”

the two Americans were taken by the officers. The pirate had only prayed for one thing—that he might hear of Antonio St. Marc’s death before he died; but the boon was not granted. He received the messenger whom he had last sent, and the message was: "St. Marc still lives.” In live minutes more Jilok Tudel was dead.

Who thinks that I must ride a bike, And makes me do what I don’t like, And tells me if L' don’t she’ll strike?

“Here,” murmured St. Marc, placing his hand upon his right breast. “It strode me here.”

The young priest tore open the doublet, and as he did so a sealed packet fell out. His eye caught the superscription, and picking it up he placed it in his own bosom. In a moment more San Benito came up. Jilok Tudel had also been laid upon the grass, and the elder priest had been called to his side.

And when I’m feeling sad and low Who sympathizes with my woe And softly breathes, “I told you so?”, NO ONE!

“As heaven knows my soul, 1 do.”

This reply was fervent, and a bright tear glistened upon the old woman’s lids as she heard it. “And now,” said Irene, after these things had passed, “what has passed in the city?”

POLICE OFFICER RESCUED.

“Are you fatally wounded, my son?” the holy man asked, at the same time taking the pirate’s hand. Tudel opened his eyes and gazed into the face of the man who knelt by his side. He was upon the point of speaking. but suddenly a strange light shot across his pallid features. With a spasmodic movement he caught the priest by the neck, and started up to a sitting posture.

CHATTER XVI.

Officer A, C. Swanson of the Council Bluffs Force Tells an Interesting Story. COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Jau. 21, 1901.—(Special.) — Kind-hearted Officer Swanson of the local police force is very popular in this city. He has lived here for seventeen years, and has enjoyed many high offices in social and society work. He is now Vice-President of the “Dannebrog” Brotherhood, the largest Danish secret society in America, which combines benevolent with the social feattires. Owing to the constant exposure and many hours on his feet, which his duty as a Police Officer makes unavoidable, Mr. Swanson became the victim of serious Kidney and Liver Trouble. He was very bad, but has entirely recovered. He gives the story In his own words as follows: “I have been a sufferer for many years with Kidney and Liver Trouble, and have tried many remedies, some of which gave me temporarily relief, and others which were absolutely worthless. I began to think that there was no help for me, when my nephew gave me a part of a box of Dodd’s Kidney Pills which he had left, saying that it would do no harm to try them, as they had certainly fixed him all right. What he gave me helped me so much that I felt Justified in purchasing more, and I grew slowly better. It took almost two months to effect a complete cure, as mine was a very bad case, but I can cheerfully and truthfully say that I am a well man to-day, and I am very grateful that Dodd's Kidney Pills were thus brought to my notice.” The wonderful cures effected by Dodd's Kidney Pills in Iowa have created quite a sensation in some parts of the State. There does not seem to be any case of Lame Back, Rheumatism, Kluney or Bladder Trouble which these wonderful Pills cannot cure. They are certainly popular here, and the sale through the local druggists is very large.

“Dear Peter,” said Clarence, as they entered the strong city' in charge of a squad of soldiers who had come out, “let your heart be strong. If we are treated as prisoners of war, we shall have nothing to fear, for just as sure as fate our country’s arms will conquer here, and then we shall be released.”

She spoke eagerly and lowly. Rondo pondered a few moments, and then commenced to relate the circumstances as they had occurred. He told her of the dispute that had occurred between her father and Jilok Tudel, and of its results. A beam of relief passed across her face as she heard of Tudel’s death; but her countenance changed when she learned of Clarence’s apprehension and imprisonment. She started up and clasped her hands.

If you are coughing today, don’t wait until tomorrow, but get a bottle of our Cherry Pectoral at once and be relieved.

“Think not of me,” returned the boy. “I fear nothing for myself.” ■] Clarence would have spoken further, but the officer interfered, and separated them. Ere long afterwards they were led into the presence of Gen. I.andero, who held command in the city. He was a dark, stern-looking man, and his first expressions were by no means calculated to inspire the prisoners with hope. “You are spies, eh?” he uttered, after having scowled upon them-for-some moments in silence.

Three sizes: 25c., 50c., $1.00.

“Ha!” he' gasped. “By the saints, thou Yankee dog, I know thee! Hi! Here is Clarence Howard! —the Yankee captain! Seize him!”

“O! He came for my sake!” she cried

If your druggist cannot supply you, send us one dollar and we will express a large bottle to you, all charges prepaid. Be sure you give us your nearest express office. Address, J. C. Ayik Co., Lowell, Mass.

“He did,” returned Calypso. ‘T sitw him in Texas, and I told him all you wished him to know, and he promised me that he would come here and assist you if he could.” • “And he has fallen a victim to his own generous work,” uttered Irene sadly. “O, X must see him. Perhaps we can help him—perhaps save him from the power that holds him.”

In a moment Clarence was upon his feet, and a pistol was drawn from his bosom; but Miguel was too quick for him. The latter had heard all about the young captain’s exploits, and with a quick movement he knocked the pistol from his grasp, and then seized and held him until the surgeon came up. Clarence—for he it was—was thus taken at a disadvantage, and ere he could shake off the surgeon’s grip Miguel dealt him a blow upon the head that felled him to the* ground. “The other one! the other one!” cried Tudel. “He belongs to the same ” Though he could speak no more, yet he had spoken enough. San Benito caught the boy Peter and held him fast, and as soon as Clarence was bound they came and secured the youngstera. All present bad heard much of the Texan Cruiser, and they knew him only as the bitter enemy of their country, and hence they felt it a patriotic duty to secure him. After this the surgeon went to examine Tudel’s w T ound. He found that the ball bad entered at the lower part of the left breast; there was a dark, livid spot "where the ball struck, and a single drop of blood had oozed out.

“No, no,” returned the priest, decidedly. “You could do no good. He is a prisoner of war only, and will not suffer more than all prisoners must suffer. It is proper that your sympathies should be excited, but you must be governed by your own necessities now. You cannot return to the city.” “But to see Clarence once more. If it were but for a moment.” “He shall know where you are, my child; and he shall know, too, how joyfully you would have risked your own liberty to see him.” “And yet,” murmured Irene, sinking back in her seat, “I might see him. He has sacrificed much to see me, and why should I now take only self into'C'onsideratiou when he is to be ” “Stop,” interrupted Father Rondo, kindly. “You look upon this question in a wrong light.

"Excellency,” spoke Clarence, in reply, assuming a calm, frank tone; “I am well acquainted in Vera Cruz, and have, within this month past, taken several prisoners direct from here. From this you might perceinve that for no purpose of a spy could 1' have come.” “But wherefore do l find you here in disguise?” asked the general. “I will tell you, seuor. Some years ago I saved one of your most wealthy citizens from the hands of a pirate—I allude to Antonio St. Marc. His daughter was with him. I saw her, and loved her. I spent some time beneath her roof and loved her more. But circumstances called mo away. A short time since, an old woman, called Calypso, and sometimes ‘the Wanderer,’ came to me and informed me that Donna Irene St. Marc wished to see me. Her father was about to force her into d marriage with Jilok Tudel, a bold, bad man, of whom your excellency must have heard.” jj The commandant nodded his head, and Clarence went on:

“He doesn’t bleed,” said Miguel, hopefully. “Not, externally,” said the surgeon, shaking his head: “but he must bleed within. Tudel—Tudel—do you know me?”

This seemed to arouse the pirate’s powers once more. He started up, and with, an expiring effort he gasped: HO* * 1 - ! r?n-n iTTT -U,,U( —rrr —nj —vi-jun-jiur- *•

Testing a Torpedo Boat

The vessel is a combination of some of the features of the submarine boats and ordinary torpedo craft. All the vitals are below the water line, and the small surface of the vessel showing above the water is protected by cellulose. The test was very favorable to the invention, the only objectionable , features being the low speed developed —fourteen knots.

I obtained lea,Ve —left a competent man in my place, and then set out with this boy as my only companion.” “But how happened you to shoot two of our best men?” asked the general, sternly. “Mo?” uttered Clarence, in surprise. “Do you make strange of it? Did you not shoot Tudel and St. Marc?” “Your excellency has been misinformed. When I reached the ground this morning I found Tudel and St. Marc just preparing to fight a duel.” “And did the ‘duel take place?” “It did, seuor.”

“I know it; but there is one living more dangerous than he was. Do you remember Martin San Benito?” “Yes. He gambles with my father.” “You are right. Xow mind, you—T had this from a friend who visited St. Marc when he thought himself dying. San Benito has, received a pledge that he shall have your hand if you are found: and I know your father will keep this pledge. Xow you can see that your venturing back into the city would be dangerous to the very happiness of the man you love. When peace is concluded between the two nations. Clarence Howard will he released, and he shall know where to.find you. Xow. what say you?” After a few moments of thought Irene replied: “You are right, good father. I will do as you say. But you will see Clarence?” “I will —and I will tell him all.” “O—you may think me weak and childish, but I cannot help my feelings in this. Why I love Clarence so much I cannot tell. But I do love him—with my whole soul— and I cannot hide it.” It was near night when the good priest started to return to the city. He blessed his friends, and assured them that they might depend upon him for all he could do. On the following morning Irene and Cassandra washed their hands and faces in a dark, browning liquid which Xdnpa bad prepared from some roots, and then assumed the garbs of the common mestizo peasants. After this they mounted the horses which they had bought of the Indians, and bidding farewell to Xanpn and his family, the trio were upon the great road leading to the capital. (To be continued.)

The pirate muttered something, but it could not be understood, and on the next moment he sank back upon the grass. “He may live till night,” said the surgeon, in answer to a question from San Benito; “but X think not longer than that.”

In the meantime St. Marc had been raised up. and his wound .examined. It bled freely, and as soon as the surgeon could leave Tudel he came to the other. He introduced his probe, and found the ball lodged against one of the ribs near the side. It was an easy job to extract it, and the operator was sure no vital part was touched. By the time the ball was extracted and the wound dressed, some twenty people had gathered about the spot, and among them were three officers from the city.

Landero turned to the officer who had brought the prisoners in. "Did you not say these prisoners had shot those men down?” “Ay, excellency, for so I thought it was,” returned the officer. “When I reached the spot, these prisoners were bound, and I was given to understand that there had been some difficulty in apprehending them.” , “Whom did you find there?”

Teaching Geography in Germany. On misty days in autumn the schoolboy of the Black forest is marched to . the peak of some high hill. From there geography is taught him, says a German correspondent. It is pointed out to him that he stands upon an island completely surrounded by the mist which, for the purposes of this comedy, lias had handed to it the part of water, which it p.ays with much success. The twin rivers of mist on either side ol him, filling both valleys, are, for him, estuaries: the spur of mountain opposite is a peninsula. He descends. It is certain, with geographical ideas in his head that could never have been put there by mere maps hanging upon a wall.

How gladly would men fly to woman’s aid did they but understand a woman’s feelings, trials, sensibilities, and peculiar organic disturbances. Those things are known only to women, and the aid a man would give is not at his command.

“What have we here?” cried one of the latter, as he came upon the spot. “See,” answered Martin San Benito, who knew that it they chose, the officers might bring them to punishment for the part they had played iu the tragedy just concluded; “look ye at these two priests —they are Yankee privateers in disguise.” “Ha!” uttered the officer, starting as though he had received an electric shock. “Yes, senor,” resumed Sau Benito, “one of them is Captain Howard of the Lone Star!” “No, no —it cannot bel” “It is! It is!” uttered St. Marc, raisr mg himself upon his elbow. “It is who*” asked the officer. “Clarence Howard,” returned St. Marc faintly.

The officer named those whom he had found on the ground, and the general ordered that the surgeon should be sent for. It was nearly half an hour before the messenger returned with the surgeon, and when the latter came he related all the circumstances just as they had transpired. This, seemed to put a new face upon the matter, for the commandant looked more kindly upon the prisoners. “Seuor capitan,” he said, addressing Clarence, “you have done much harm to our interests, and your vessel has long been known as a scourge upon opr coast; but you have proved yourself 3 brave man, and we can only consider top ag a prisoner of war.

This is why, for the past twenty-five years, thousands of women have been confiding their troubles to Mrs. Pinkham, and whose advice has brought happiness and health to countless women in the United States. Mrs. Chappell, of Grant Park, 111., whose portrait we publish, advises all suffering women to seek Mrs. Pinkham’s advice and use Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, as they eured her of inflammation of the ovaries and womb ; she. therefore, speaks from knowledge, and her experience ought to give others confidence. Mrs. Pinkham’s address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is absolutely free.

For these three reasons, scientific names are usually in Greek or Latin, and the drugs have the same names in the pharmacopelia as in the sciences, that describe them. Most of the drugs have no English names.
