And for this transformation I hereby acknowledge indebtedness to Warner's Safe Cure and that only." George B. Simpson, 23 Church street. Boston. What is popularly called kidney trouble is shown by modern investigation to have several forms. It is always a dangerous and deceptive condition, ^ sometimes slowly and sometimes rapIdly progressive, and liable to terminate .~ fatally even when the Immediate, sympl,y toms seem to be least alarming. Thou""t sands of casualties attributed to other be causes are really due to diseased kidneys. The success for many years of ' Warner's Safe Cure in relieving and curing this subtle disease has won for it the world-wide reputation it now enas Joys. When kidney symptoms declare themselves, do not hesitate to use Warner's Safe Cure. The risk is not in reiot sorting to this remedy, but in neglect' 1 lng it.

That led to the stout man removlng a very ?'K cigar from his mouth to make make the above assertion, and, as usual, Clarence' had a story to "point the moral." Til tell you what I saw with my own eyes at Port Galla, In Ceylon," he said, "and what I heard with my own ears. What makes it stick in my memory all the more is, that it was the last thing 1 remember happening before I left Ceylon. "I had got myself and all my traps on board the P. and O. steamer to leave. But In those days?I don't know how.lt is now?the steamers used to be kept waiting at Port Galla for other steamers from other ports. Sometimes, if the currents about Cape Comorln or-the straits were particularly unreasonable, you might have to put up with fortyeight hours of waiting. This time we had to wait more than a day for a boat that was brining passengers from Singapore and Hong Kong. In that way I became acquainted before we weighed anchor with a particularly Interesting group of passengers. This group consisted of an elderly lady, wife of an upcountry Judge, her daughter and two men. The daughter had been ordered home to England for her health. The two men?well, that's where my story comes in. "My sympathies ought to have bccn with the elder of those two, because he was a coffee planter, and so was I, or I had been until a few weeks before. The coffee planter man was evidently on familiar terms with Mrs. Judge and the young woman, and mamma seemed to ireui nun wun uisunguisnea consiueration. From that I gathered that he was the favored suitor. The other man was a persevering suitor, evidently, but not nearly as likely to win as his rival. Judging by the signs of parental Inclination. He was a young subaltern in a British regiment stationed up country and that was how and where he had made the acquaintance of Miss Edith?I may as well say at once that his name was Cropley?Lieut. Cropley. I soon picked up the whole thread of Cropley's story. It was an old story; the oily new feature In It to me was the promptness with which the young man had managed to get leave of absence and sail on that steamer as soon as he knew that the coffee planter was going to be a fellow passenger with Edith and her mother. I think the mother was rather surprised whjii Cropley bobbed up on board: whether Kdith was equally surprised. I can't say. "With all my enterprise and Inqulsltlveness, I couldn't llnd out for sure whether the girl's sympathies were with the coffee planter or with Cropley ?that is. until the morning after we had gone on board and waited a night in the harbor. Until then, I thought she was rather indifferent, with, perhaps, a slight natural preference for the younger man. But then It was easy to see that the poor girl's-health was feeble. "Cropley and I made friends very fast. He wa3 an Ingenuous, whole-souled youngster. From his way of talking to me, as we sat together late that night by the ship's rail and smokt-d, watching the lights of the harbor, It was plain that he was anxious to llnd some one to tell his troubles to. He was not rich. 1 found, and the coffee planter, I guessed, was. If he could only get Edith to say 4Yes,' he was quite prepared to leave the army and go back to Ceylon as a coffee planter, In hopes of beinic some day as rich as his rival. " 'Bad move,' I said. 'The other man has a long start of you on that line. If you give up your red coat you throw away your strong suit, don't you see?' "I don't know whether he did sec It In that light, but I do know that Cropley seemed wonderfully comforted by the interest I took in his affairs. . He went to bed?or to his bunk?In a more cheery mood that he had seemed to be in when we first struck up an acquaint ance. Next morning he waa apparently in the best of spirits. " 'I've been thinking over what you told me last night.' he said, pulling at his pipe after tifiln, before the ladies had shown up on deck. 'It is a run thing," he said; 'this business Is rathei like a game, isn't It?* "I told him that both love and wai were huge gambles, and in both gamei it was all-important' to show a gooc front to the i-nemy?or the adversary This philosophy seemed to amuse him but he certainly practiced It that morn ing. .When Edith and her mother cain< 0:1 deck he Joined them, utterly una bashed by either the presence of. tin ffgSS / -4 Copyr FINAL C,ESTURi:01 Thr* Ilrv.

And the plan seemed to work, too, for Edith talked to Crop! ley, dnd. listened to Cropley, and asked Cropley questions about the harbor, und the pearl dlvprs, which questions, for the most part, he had to refer to me or give up. "It was a beautiful morning, and .the goose seemed to hang high for poor Cropley?so much so that his rival was beginning to look as dejected as a man In spotless white duck, with a whining, freshly shaven face, can look. I made up my mind to tell Cropley at the first opportunity not to push things too hurd, "or the mother might resort to stringent measures, and forbid Edith to talk to him at all. That was the danger which I forsaw at that time. "But then Cropley sud only burst into a blaze of glory as a hero. "We were standing at the stern rail ?Ave of us?looking at the small craft below us dancing on the light swell. A native seaman?a Lascur from some piratical part of the Malay peninsulacame skipping nimbly along the top of the rail that was to hang In bights from spring hooks for some purpose or other. .He apologized for disturbing us and passed on. In less than a minute after he had passed we heard the cr>\ 'Man overboard!' behind us. "Of course it was the Lascar who had dropped from the taffrall. Everybody ran to the starboard side of the deck, and there was the poor 'fellow's head bobbing up and dowri.llke a cork, while his shipmates were running eVery way at once to get. out life buoys. "You see, there was no danger of his drowning. You can't drown a Lascar, unless you anchor him in ten fathoms of water with a two-fathom-cable. The danger was In sharks; that was why all the dlngheys ami sampans that were paddling about within a few yards of the man held off from him so, they were afraid of being upset by the scramble pf sharks that.were sure to come. And then, you see, the man was only a Lus? ""VimV A whlto mnn ill* 11 hicrh caste native would have been different. "Just for one moment it was horrible. There was not a ripple near the man as yet, but we all expected to see the ripples in another moment, and then?the end of it. Edith's mother drew her back from the rail. We three men seemed momentarily paralyzed. "Then suddenly young Cropley began Betting his arms out of the sleeves of his loose Chinese silk jacket. I shall never forget the way he set out about it. Th?ire was an expression on his face which I can only describe as pouting. "'Confound It!' he said, 'I suppose I must go.' "And the next moment he was over the rail and llylng. arms and legs all spread out, through the air, down to the shining, swelling water, where the Lascar's head was bobbing up and down. "What struck me about It all was the tone in which he said those words 'Confound it! 1 suppose I mum go.' It was just as If the bugle call had Interrupted him In a game that Interested him deeply. Things had evidently began to look bright for him, because Edith was smiling, and I suppose he thought It *a beastly bore, don't you know,' for this fool of a Lascar to go and drop Into that shark pond on this particular morning. "And I suppose Cropley had quite made up his mind that there was no coming duck lor nun. ?e \vu? umy doing it all. I believe, because it was "the thing* to do, and because it would be a disgrace to the Hag if this Lascar were eaten up like that without an attempt on the pant of any of the 'sahibs' to save him; and it did look for a little time as if things were going that way. But he was pleasantly surprised, so was I. so was Edith, so. T believe, was even Cropley's rival. We had none of us counted on one very simple fact in natural history, namely, that sharks, with all their ferocity, are very timid. The splash that Croptey made as he dropped into the water saved tivo lives. Probably It came just In time. "There was an answering sudden swirl as he dropped in, and I even thought I could see a long Iln cutting through the water, going away from the two men. The sharks were rushing away from the splash, as they always do. although they may be counted on to come back as soon as everything gets quiet again. But before they could come back one of the ship's boats that had been moored at the foot of the companion ladder was alongside the Lascar and the Englishman. They were both pulled in safe." "That.does Illustrate what you were saying about heroes not making heroic speeches, doesn't It?" "Well, I don't quite know -whether it does or not," said the stout man with 1 the cigar. "But how about the girl?" "Oh, the girl! Well, curious thins about that affair. How do you suppose If nniW?"
