"When I was eight years of age I

with weak kidneys and a complication
of diseases. I was nervous and finally
became so bod that I left school and
did not go for an entire term. I had
headache all the time and wa too ir

least excitcmnt seemed to make my
heart flutter and a fainting spoil
would follow. At time I became so
dizzy that I would have to sit down
until tiie feeling passed away. My
blood seemed to huve turned to water

NOTEWORTHY ANNIVERSARY IN THE MIS
TORY OP THE YOUTH'S COMPANION,
With its issuo of April 18th The
Youth's Companion entered upon its
75th year.
To commemorate this anniversary,
the publishers prepared a richly print
ed souvenir illustrating the growth of
the nation and of The Youth's Com
panion since the year The Companion
was founded, 1827. Perhaps the most
significant features of the souvenir
are its three maps. The first shows
the small section of the continent oc
cupied by the United States of 1827,
when The Companion began life with
practically no subscribers. Another
shows the system of railways which
cover the United States in 1901, an
aggregate c! 187,781 miles, The
Youth's Companion traversing every
mile of this syutom once a week. The
third map shows the number of sub
scribers to The Youth's Companion
in every state of the union in 1901,
the paper boing delivered every week
to 54i,342 American homes.

ECU. BUTTKKWOUTll and Guy
(fT ("had wick had been chums In col--lege.
The acquaintance formed
there was cemented by time into a fast
friendship, and when war was de
clared against Hpaln both offered their
service to Uncle Ham. But this friend
ship, so strong, was one of diametrical
ly opposite natures. Equal opportuni
ties had been given the two men to se
cure shoulder straps. Hutterworth
alone took advantage of them. "The
Government has need of educated men
a officers," be said, In accepting a lieu
tenoucy. The sentiment of bis friend
was: "If the country has need of my
service, 1 give them gladly, but a gun
shall rest upon my shoulder; 1 care uot
for the honors of war." For this speech
Private Chadwlck was highly esteemed
by Ills comrades in Company It, of the
Ninth.
i.,.e In tho home camp was drudgery
to Lieut. Hutterworth. Chadwick, as
eagt as any to strike a blow at the
"dirty Hpanlards," as he termed them,
took the matter more philosophically,
lie submitted to the inevitable grace
fully. When, at last, the order to break
camp was given, there was some regret
that the Philippines were the objective
point Nevertheless, It was a Jolly
crowd that unpegged their teuts and
rolled their blunkets, preparatory to the
departure for the coast.
The trip acrox the continent and the
life on the traiiMport, lessened. In a
meiiHtire, their eugenic for action. To
stand once more on firm, steady land,
with no longer the pitching, rolling
deck beneath their feet was content
tueut for a time. Barrack life In Manila
was begun. Then a new element came
Into the Uvea of Lieut. Hutterworth and
Private Chadwlck.
Mini wa a Filipino girl. She was
the tla lighter of au Insurgent leader.
Lieut. Hutterworth and Private Chad
wlck hud fallen prey to her snapping
black eyes ami pretty face, suilllug co
quettlslily beneath a "crown of Inky
black hair. She fascinated one, charmed
the other. Hutterworth was hend over
heels In love with the girl. Chadwlck,
less Impetuous, was caught by her
sweet simplicity. Yet their friendship
did not suffer; rivalry, rather than Jeal
oih was the keynote of their rela
tions. "Guy," said the lieutenant, one day,
forgetting rank In a burst of confidence,
"I can't get away from those black
eyes, they follow me everywhere, they
ure In everything 1 see, but, someway,
I doubt her sincerity." .
"I have my doubts, too," returned
(hiy, "but kuowlng how much you care
for Nina, I have refrained from men
tioning them. 1 have a fancy myself
for the girl. Nevertheless, I believe
that she Is trying to inveigle us Into
joining the Insurgent cause."
"oh, Guy," exclaimed Cecil, "Nina Is
tew loyal a girl to conspire for our ruin
lu such a manner. I laud her strong
belief In her father's cause. Dut no,
not that from little Nina."
Private Chadwlck said nothing. He
prayed for a call to the field to sever
this attachment. Ills hopes were real
izedbut partially. The Ninth was
ordered to join In the chase of the In
surgents, but the activity failed to re
store to Lieut. Hutterworth his equilib
rium of mind. Military duties now
precluded further Intercourse between
the two friends. In the excitement of
battle Private Chadwlck gave the black
eyed Nina but a small place in his
thoughts.
Private Chadwlck lounged carelessly
In front of his tent admiring the beau
ties of the setting sun, which painted
the horizon with glory. He was think
ing of Manila and, for the first time
since he had taken the field, of the
bright-eyed Nina. He wondered If But
torworth had forgotten her. It was,
pleasant to recall those happy days.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAMES
FOR THE LITTLE GIRLS.
It la not only the knlckerborkered small
boy who has game of hi own. Girl,
too, bve fad and occupation, though
all of tbctu are not monupoliced by doll
bble. In fct, their historic devotion
to these painted teautle aeeuia to be
leadening. IMI of vawduat and paper
are good for rainy daya and for the twi
light bonra before or after dlnoer, when
one la not allowed to go out. Bat the

or in the eompanlonahlp of a wlite dog,

However, there are certain game a
rred to our grandmother and still kept
up In a tnesRure by little girl, being re
vived from year to year. Some of them
are allly. Moat of them date from the
time when boya and glrla did not atady
from the same book, and when it was
reaaoned out that even gamea must be
feminine. Now w know better. Th

The sound Interrupted his revery. A
dirty, ragged Individual stepped from
behind the tent. Inking cautiously
to the right and left he slipped a grimy
bit of paper Into Chadwlck's hand.
Guy hastily tore open the uote. He
read:
My Dear American Soldier: Prove to
me that you love me. Join us to-night.
Papa will make you a big officer.
NINA.
A pang went to his heart. A smoul
dering fire flamed up. In spite of this
evidence of her Insincerity, Guy uow
realized that bin feeling for her was
more than mere Interest In the girl He
was disgusted to discover his weak
ness. "Get out of here," he said In a harsh
voice. "Go tell the one who seut you
that my flag Is dearer to me than all
the world, and before I leave It I will
die. Go."
The effort cost him pain. He crawled
back Into his tent a miserable man. The
sun had set.
"Private Chadwlck's sick," comment
ed his comrades.
One rau with the news to Lieut. But
terworth'a tent. It was empty.
"The lieutenant went off with a" dirty
looking beggar," said the guard. "One
of his charities. 1 guess. Sold he'd be
back before long."
Private Chadwlck knew otherwise.
He was torn one way by Jealousy to
ward his erstwhile frleud, another by
nnger at the girl wbp'had played him
false. He worked himself Into a fever.
His comrades attributed It to sorrow
for his lost friend, for, after a fruitless
search, It was said that Lieut Butter
worth had been trapped Into an am
buscade. 11
In the gray dawn of morning Private
Chadwlck paced slowly up and down,
with his gun on bis shoulder, doing sen
try duty. He was still weak from the
fever. A rustle, as of some one mov
ing, caught his attention.
"Who goes there?"
Ills challenge went unanswered. He
espied a form disappearing Into a clump
of bushes.
"Bang." He fired but Into the air.
The corporal of the guard came run
ning down the line. He received the
sentry's report: "Marauding party of
'devils.' " But Guy did not telh of all
he saw.. In the disappearing form he
had recognized his deserter friend.

er of the trees, they halted on the
edge of a clearing. Not more than
a thousand yards away, 900 Filipinos,
under the leadership of a young officer
in the uniform of the United States
army, were stealthily advancing.
"Careful men. Don't Are. Walt for
orders," cautioned the officers.
Tbe American lines deployed and
now a volley carried death Into the op-
KMdug force. The battle raged back
and forth. Scattering were the shots
which returned the regular fire of the
boys In blue. The Insurgents became
disorganized. Tbelr retreat became a
rout.
The battle was over. The soldiers
returned victoriously rejoicing. As they
picked their way over the spot of the
first encounter, they came upon a sad
scene, la the midst of the dead and
dying, lay the lifeless body of a pretty
black-eyed Filipino girl, beside the dead

Savages on the Scent.
Among many savage tribes the sense
of smell Is almost as acute as In some
of the lower animals. The Peruvian
Indians are able, according to Hum
boldt, to distinguish in the middle of
the night, whether an approaching
stranger Is a European, American, In
dlan, or negro. M. Houzeau also as
serts that he proved by repeated ex
perl men ts that negroes aud Indians can
distinguish persons In the dark by their
color. Indian travelers have recorded
that certain natives who habitually ab
stain from animal food have a sense
of smell which Is so exquisitely deli
cate that they can tell from which well
a vessel of water has been obtained.
By smell aloue the negroes of the An
tilles will detect the footsteps of a
Frenchman from those of a negro. The
guides who accompany travelers on the
route from Aleppo to Babylon will tell
by smelling the desert sand how near
they are to the latter place. But the
people gifted with delicate olfactory
nerves, above all others, are the abo
rigines of Australia; and to such an ex
tent Is their gift relied upon that the
government had, a few years back, a
number of natives In the police force
who were employed solely, as trackers
for hunting out criminals by smell
alone, which they did with the greatest
success. .
