and the next day followed a winding
mountain torrent over rocky land, ber
shoes and then ber stockings worn
from her feet, only to And, at sun
down, that It had led her to a narrow
gorge, without one Inch of foothold or
shore. The stream dashed through In
a torrent that hopelessly barred the
way.
Light-headed with terror, hunger and
weariness, she crouched for a time lu
despair. Then she suddenly waded In
to the stream and stood until after
dawn watot-deep In water, while a
rain-storm pelted upon her from aboro.
Whim or Instinct, she believed that by
the cool rush nnd sting of the water
her reason and strength were
prc-
lerved.
The next day she retraced her weary
way nlong the watercourse back to
the heights; thence, fixing anew' the
point to which she must direct her
steps, she successfully made her way
back to civilization. When nt length
she reeled Into the hut of a kindly

days lost without food, nnd had walk

Inflamed It was thought she must have
them amputated: but she fortunately

It had taken considerable persuasion
to Induce the old lady to trust herself

The owner of the big automobile,

had been very kind alxnit it. He
chanced to be near the atatlon when
the old lady found she bad missed her
train, and when he overheard her
lamentations he Insisted that she
should accompany him. His route lay
through that particular one of tbe half
dozen Long Island villages named
Ilntupton where the sick grandchild
lay.

DANGEROUS KIDNEY DISEASES

of Chronic Aliments of the Kidneys.
Major T. II. Mars, ol the first Wis
consin cavalry regiment, writes from
142S Dunning street, Chicago, 111., the
following letter:
"For years I suffered with catarrh
of the kldneyscontracted In the army.
Medicine did not help me any until a
comrade who had been helped by I'e
runa advised me to try it. 1 bought
some at once, and soon found blessed
relief. I kept taking it four months,
and am now well and strong; and feel
better than I have done for the past
twenty years, thanks to Perana."

At the appearance o( the first symp
tom of kidney tronble, Perana should
ho taken. This remedy strikes at once
the very roots of the disease. It at
once relieves the catarrhal kidneya of
the stagnant blood, preventing the ea
cape of serum from the blood. I'ernna
stimulates the kidneys to excrete, from
the blood the accumulating jiolton, and
thus prevents the convulsions which are
