When the kidneys are weak or diseased, these natural filters do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and the poisons are carried to all parts of the body. ' There follow depression, aches and ] pains, heaviness, drowsiness, irrita bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu matism. In some people there are i sharp pains in the back and loins, i distressing bladder disorders and i sometimes obstinate dropsy. The uric i acid sometimes forms into gravel or i kidney stones. When the uric acid affects the muscles and joints, it : i auses lumbago, rheumatism, gout i or sciatica. Write Dr. Pierce at once, i send 10 cents for large trial pack- : age. or 50 cents for full treatment of i "Anuric" or ask your druggist for it.

Rut True Blue only came to a stag gering stop under the quirt With hli forefeet he still marked time as though with them he would drag his heavy body and master one step nearer home. From his loins back he was paralyzed. With a last desperate effort he straddled his forelegs, but he could not : brace himself against the backward , *ag of dead weight. Gerry felt him ' sinking beneath him and suddenly , found himself standing over his pros trate horse. Of True Blue, his forefeet 1 outstretched, his head and breast still held high, there was left only a great spirit chained to a fallen and dying | body. A cry escaped Gerry's lips—a cry of ! horror at what he had done. Then he remembered why he had done it and ran not for the sluice-gate but for the bridge. As he reached it the roar became deafening. There was a splin tering, crackling sound that, meas ured by the great commotion, seemed like the tinkle of a tiny bell. But there | was something in the sound that called i to his brain. He cast a glance over his shoulder. The monster beams of his sluice-gate, hurled, splintered, into the air. were still hanging against the blue | sky. Under them surged an angry j white wall of racing water. Even as ; he started to run down the long slope to tlie house Gerry thought with a great relief that if the gate had been closed it would have gone even so, like j matchwood. Below him Fazenda Flores lay peace ful, still, under the blazing sun. The ! cotton was a little wilted but high and | strong, the cane stunted but alive. Only in the pasture bottoms the stock had gathered In frightened clumps. 1 Their instinct had told them that dan ger hovered near. Suddenly from the | quiet house burst Margarita, carrying her son on one arm. She had seen Gerry from a window. While the oth ers watched the rising river, and now this terrifying torrent bursting down : upon them from above, she had slipped j out to run to him. The house at Fazenda Flores stood on a domed mound. Behind the mound was a slight hollow before the steady | rise to the bridge began. Gerry caught ■ sight of Margarita as she ran down towards this hollow. Terrified, he cast a glance nt the descending flood and his eye measured its pace against hers. | "Go back!" he shouted with all the strength of his luugs. and waved his j arms. It was as though he had not spoken. Through the din and roar of the flood the sound of the words scarce !y reached his own ears. At the very bottom of the hollow Margarita felt that she was stepping in water. She took her eyes from Gerry, who she thought was beckoning to her. and looked down. A hurrying rivulet whose swift flow carried it be fore the churulng crest of the flood, tugged at her ankles. She looked up toward the thundering wall of oncom ing water and knew that she was lost. She stopped and fixed her eyes on Gerry, who was plunging down the slope in a mad effort to reach her. She called to him, but she knew he could not hear her. With arms stretched to their highest, she held up the Man. The Man was not frightened. His black eyes were fixed on his running father. Margarita could feel him gurgling with joy in the new game. Then suddenly he cried out. It was a wail of fright, j The wail was cut short. Broken in two, it rang terribly in her ears as she went down. The water had felled Margarita and the Man. Gerry saw them flung down the crest of the wave. They became suddenly a twirling, sodden mass, in animate save for the fliug of a loose limb into clearer view against the blue sky or the uncoiling of long black hair on the seething water. Gerry reached the torrent. Marga rita and the Man had already been whirled far towards the great river. He plunged into the flood. The water was thick with earth, sticks, uprooted plants and debris of every sort. Con flicting. swirling currents tugged at heavy stones, rolled them along and sometimes even tossed one to the sur- j face. s Gerry's struggling body was hurled hither aud thither. A stray current shot hiiu to the surface, but before he could take breath other currents sucked him down and dragged him along the rough surface of the crum bling soil. He felt as though he were being torn limb from iirub. Then suddenly he was cast into an eddy that in comparison with the mael strom was almost peaceful. For an instant he felt like one who awakes from a terrible dream, but with the sigh that trembled to his lips came realization. From head to toe he was battered 1 and bruised. His cotton clothes were in tatters. His chest heaved iu great. , spasmodic gasps. Breath whistled through his wracked lungs. His eyes protruded. His head ached till it seemed on the verge of bursting. But to his mind pierced a thought sharper than pain—the thought of Margarita and the Man. With clenched teeth he struck out for the current. Far. far away rose a dusty line of mist. It marked the head of the flood— I the meeting of water with the aecumu- j lated dust of rainless months. Gerry I recognized the meaning of that line. Somewhere there in the turmoil of the first rush of the mad flood were Mar- i garita and the Man —what was left of I them. The distance dismayed him, but j he swam on. Then he felt the fast ap- I proachlng end of endurance. A sob choked him. It was only minutes till his arms re- 1 fused to answer to his will. They s moved so weakly that more than once his gasping mouth, sank below the wa ter. He swallowed great gulps of the turgid flood. Then an uprooted tree brushed by him. He clutched its branches. Wheu all else in the world has passed from a man's brain there re- j i mains the life instinct—the will to fight j for the last minute of his allotted be- j • ug. The life instinct was all that still j lived in Gerry. It urged him to a last j effort. He dragged his body upon the tree where the branches forked from the main trunk. Utterly exhausted, he sank Into their embrace. They held him as though in a cradle. The rush of the waters began to slacken. They stretched out over the valley and crept up its sides. They did not flow so much now as rise. The val ley became a moving sea. On its flow ing surface beasts, fowls and reptiles j struggled, mad-eyed, for life. Here j and there a bloated carcass, brought down from far up the river, blundered i blindly through the living and brought j screams of terror from the swimming j horses, and gasping lows from the ! struggling cattle. From the middle of the sea rose the j old plantation house still high and dry ! on its mound. It seemed very tiny— j a toy house on a lonely islet. A great, open, white umbrella lined with green sailed gayly along. It ! caught In the branches of Gerry's tree. I Uprooted cotton bushes floated by, and 1 cane, snapped off, sometimes torn up In whole hills, banked up against the j tree and formed a vast, unstable j Island, toward which swam the delud ; ed stock. From the mouth of the cleft in the river gorge issued a thundering cata- I ract. It had burst through the walls J of the ditch and even unseated a sec- i tlon of the rocky crag against which j the sluice-gate had been buttressed. The ditch was gone. It could never be again, for the water was tearing the channel of the cleft deeper and deeper. The turbid flood devoured the silt of the valley, accumulated since man was, and carried it, seething, out towards the river. The valley would be left naked, stripped of the source of life. Gerry's tree had crawled away from the main current. In a vast eddy it approached the mound whereon squat ted the old plantation house. Dona Maria stood at the edge of the waters. tXo lit CuuUuueiLi • POSTPO^^D!
