nUCIIMATICU AN INSIDIOUS DISEASE KilLUinAnjPl THAT BREAKS DOWN RHEUMATISM JESS ®. CO THE STRONGEST Rheumatism does not come on in a day, the Luses that produce it work silently in the system for years. This insidiema disease becomes intrenched tn the blood, and some exposure to cold or dan p Leather, or slight indiscretion brings on an attack. Poor digestion, stomach troubles, weak Kidneys, torpid Liver, and a general sluggish condition of system are responsible for Rheumatism. Fo. d souring in the stomach poisi'tis the blood, Elie failure of the Kidneys ani. x«iver to act properly leaves waste matter and impurities in the sjstem, which, coming in contact contact with with ---- g in Le natural acids of the body, form uric acid.

"I don't want to bother him speaking about it again.” Returning to soothed tlie child, who was showing signs of restlessness, and then seated herself at the table mid resumed her examination* of the ledger. from which she was drawing U|i a rough balance sheet mid profit and loss statement. Her husband's present state of affairs was vastly different from tliat first one which she had sighed to set on paper two years ago. Tlie ends that no stretching of the most hopeful imagi nation could then bring together were now tied and with something to spare. David Houston was solvent, and not barely so. And yet Jess considered the cheerful figures before her w'”i anxiety.

Bba fan- cled she heanl a faint cry outside She rose to go to the window when David came hurriedly Into tlie parlor. "What Is’’— she began, seeing his face white. "There’s a man in the waiter oot thornier!” be said rapidly. “I'll be back in a wee while.” He was gone. Jess basteued to the window aud saw him running out at tlie gate, The hedge hid him for a few seconds, and then she snw him leaping down the rocky shore. A thick haze bung beav lly over tbe loch, aud out of it came the cry she had already henrd. Something seemed to grip her heart, and a sickly chili came over her body. "Davie!” »lie cried stupidly. "Come back! Come back!" She lieheld him wailing Into the lo. li — deeper — deeper — and somehow she could not move. A little cry from the cradle broke the spell of horror that seemed to have lieeii cast upon her. She turned swift ly, eauglit up lier baby, wrapped the tiny mortal in a heavy sofa blanket and tied from the house iuto the sum mer dusk, not calling, but pantingly whispering Ler husband's name. From tlie road »lie could see nothing but when she reached the water’s edge how she passed over the rough beach burdened und without stumbling she could never afterward tell--she |>er- celved through tlie mist a dim. dark monstrous shape like the back of n whale, and, her nerves giving way, she screamed loudly. Some one she does not know wlio It was today—came to her side and re lleved lier of lier baby, patting lier on the shoulder, endeavoring to soothe her. "What's that? What's tliat?” she crieil wildly, peering and pointing. "That's tlie boat, upside doou. Keep up yer liert. Mistress Houston. Yer man 'll no’ get droonlt.” People began to collect on the lieacli wiiere Jess stood, and not far away a couple of men bad launched a small bc.it and were pulllug to the rescue. Tien, after what seemed an age to ti e distracted young wife and lier ex cited und sympathetic neighbors, two heads appealed mid moved toward the shore. A shout of congratulation rose from the little group, mid presently David, finding the ground, rose and came safely to land, bearing the semi conscious. almost water logged liody of a young man. He dropped his burden iuto ready arms, saying to his wife: "Liiuuu fash yersel', ma dear. I'll lie back In a Jiffy. There's another yin bangin' on to tlie boat” And he prepared to re-enter the water, when tlie voices of a dozen peo ple informed him that the rescuers were already nearing tlie overturned craft. And sure enough there were now two dim shapes in tile mist, aud from one of them came tlie cheery shout, "We've got him!” David took Ids wife's hand, and it was as if she had received nu immedi ate mid powerful stimulant. “Come and change your clothes at once. Davie." she said. "Come at once! The young man is being taken cure of." “But wull ye no’ get him llp to tile hoose, Jess?" “No, no. Davie. We'll ink Ye've jilenty to due .likin' sc!'," pul in a couple of neighbors, ey ing him proudly. "Come. Davie, come! You’ll get cold If you. stand here,” said Ids wife. ’Tlinnk you kindly," she went on, tak ing her baby from the woman who had been holding her. "I don't know—I don’t reniemlier how you came to hsve Katie, lint tliank you. Davie, ran to tlie house mid strip ut once!” Davie obeyed, mid she followed him I as swlrtly as slie could. Near tlie gate [ she encountered Mrs Wallace. The latter neither i.skeil questions nor offered any observations. ••I'll baud the wean Awa’ to yer man,” she said briskly. Mrs. Houston resigned her charge gratefully and flew lifter her husband. She found him In front of the kitchen tin1, lighting a day pipe. "It's a guid **ilng I Innina on ma ' coat”—lie bad t»- n gardening In Ids i shirt sleeves—"or I wudna ha'e had a I bit .lry tobacco left." lie remarked. “Ye wasna feart. was ye, dearie?” “Get off your wet clothes," she cried. bowed and motionless for five minutes. Her nerves were in a horrid jaugia. uud when at last shs rose to prepare the supper she felt as if slie had lived many years In the past hour. And all at once a dreadful terror seized her. and she fled from the kitch en to tlie parlor door. All, tlirnik God, all was well! Davie was there safe and sound talking and laughing to the “wee yin.” Slie w ent buck to the kitchen, took up a plate, let It slip from her lingers and laughed softly over tlie ruin. But when she spied the remains of David's pipe tlie tears tilled tier eyes mid over flowed mid fell and fell mid fell merci fully. • When David expressed himself anx ious us to tlie condition of the victims of tlie lamting uciideut Mrs. \\ul.a<e readily offered to step along tlie road to make inquiries mid accepted David's apology for not going himself with tbe remark: "Hand yer tongue, man!
