**Thon let’s go an make Tom Kidd so bloomin sick ’e can't bugle no more. You ‘old: ’is ’ands an I'll kick him,’ said Lew, wriggling on the branch.

“That ain’t no good, neither. We ain't the sort o’ characters to presoon on ourrep’tations. They're bad. If they have the band at the depot, we don’t go, an no error there. If they take the band, we may get cast for medical un- fitness. Are you medical fit, Piggy?’ said Jakin, digging Lew in the ribs with force

“Yus,"’ said Lew, with an oath “The doctor your ‘eart’s weak throngh smokin on an empty stum- mick. Throw a chest. an I'll try yer.

Jakin threw out his chest, Lew smote with all his might Jakin turned very pale, gasped, crowed, screwed up his eyes and said, **That’s all right.”’

‘*You'll do,” said Lew. ‘‘I’ve ’eard o’ men dyin when you ‘it ‘em fair on the breastbone."

**Don't bring us though,” said Jatin where we're ordered?’

“Gawd knows, an ’e won't split on Somewheres up to the front to kill Paythans—hairy big beggars that turn you inside out if they get ‘old o’ you They say their women are good lookin too. *’

‘“‘Any loot?’ Jakin.

‘‘Not a bloomin anna, they say, un- less you dig up the ground an see what the niggers ‘ave ’id. They’re a poor lot.”’ Jakin stood upright on the branch and gazed across the plain.

**Lew,’’ said he, ‘‘there’s the colonel Colonel’s a good old beggar Let's go an talk to ‘im.”’

Lew nearly fell out of the tree at the audacity of the suggestion. Like Jakin, he feared not God, neither regarded he man, but there are limits even to the audacity of drummer boys, and to speak to a colonel was—

But Jakin had slid down the trunk and doubled in the direction of the colo- nel. That officer was walking, wrapped in thought and visions of a C. B.—yes, even K. C. B., for had he not at com- mand one of the best regiments of the line—the Fore and Fit? And he was

to the regulation four paces and saluted together, each as well set up as a ram- rod and little taller

The colonel was in a genial mood, the boys appeared very forlorn and unpro- tected on the desolate plain, and one of them was handsome.

‘*Well!l’’ said the colonel, recognizing them. ‘‘Are you going to pull me down in the open? I'm sure I never interfere with you, even though’’—he sniffed sus- piciously—‘‘you have been smoking.’

It was time to strike while the iron was hot. Their hearts beat tumultuous- ly.

‘*Beg your pardon, sir,”’ began Jakin ‘‘The res’ ment’s ordered on active serv- ice, sir?’

‘*So I believe,’’ said the colonel cour- teously

‘*Is the band goin, sir?’’ said both to-

Every thoughtful man whether he be an ar- tist or a busi- ness man, a mechanic or farmer, feels that he has a cer- tain work to do in this world, and he wants to complete it. A brave man’s prin- cipal fear of death 1s because it compels him to leave his life- work unfinished.

He fears sickness for the same reason. He feels that he might as well break his neck and done with, : have his best working powers hampered and wasted away by dis-

ease. To have the brain dulled and the bodyen:. |

feebled by impure bile-poisoned blood, is no better than a living death, with all its horrt- ble accompaniments of dyspepsia, nervous- ness and melancholy.

The best thing in the world to restore clear-headed energetic vitality and working power is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis- covery ‘tacts directly upon the liver and digestive organs, giving thoes powes to man- afacture ricl:, healthy blood free from bili- ous poisons and morbid impurities. |

It fills the blood with the red life-giving elements which nourish every organ and tissue. It replaces wasted tissue with healthy flesh and solid muscular strength. By feeding the brain sand nerves with vi energy, it banishes neuralgia and nervous weakness and sleeplessness. :

It is better than malt extracts or oily emulsions. It is not a mere temporary stimulant but a genuine and lasting nutri- ent, easily assimilated by the weakest stom- achs.

Ralph Green, Esq., of Williamsburg, Callaway Co., Mo., writes: ‘‘ Before I comm your treatment I couid aot take a drink of water with- out great suffering in my stomach. I could not eat. I was fast sinking. I had five different doc- tors examine me, and each one treated me with- out doing me any good. At last I took four or five

‘ potiles of your ‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ and to-day am in better health than I have been for five yeats. I weigh 157. Whenever I see any of my friends suffering I tell them of your m and advise them to write to you.’

gether. ‘Lnen, without pause, ‘‘We're goin, sir, ain't we?’

*“*Youl’’ said the colonel, stepping ack the more fully to take in the two small figures. ‘*You! You'd die in the first march.’

‘No, we wouldn’t, sir We can march with the regiment anywheres— p’rade an anywhere else,”’ said Jakin.

‘If Tom Kidd goes, ’e’ll shut up likea clasp knife,’’ said Lew. ‘“Tom ’as very close veins in both ‘is legs, sir.”

**Very how much?’

‘*Very close veins, sir they swells after long p'rade, sir can go, we can go, sir.’

Again the colonel looked at them long and intently

gravely as though he had been address: |

ing a brother officer ‘‘Have you any parents, either of you two?”

‘“‘No, sir,’’ rejoicingly from Lew and Jakin. ‘‘We're both orphans, sir There’s no one to be considered of on our account, sir.’””*

**You poor little sprats. And you want to go up to the front with the regiment, do you? Why?’

‘‘I've wore the queen’s uniform for two years,”’ said Jakin. ‘‘It’s very ’ard, sir, that a man don’t get no recom- pense for doin ‘is dooty, sir’

‘‘An—an if I don't go, sir,’’ inter: rupted Lew, ‘‘the bandmaster 'e says ‘e'llcatch an make a bloo—-a blessed musician o’ me, sir Before I've seen any service, sir

The colonel made no answer for @

long time. Then he said qnietly: ‘‘If you're pa_sed by the doctor, I dare say you can go. I shouldn’t smoke if I were you.”’

The boys saluted and disappeared. The colonel walked home and told the story to his wife, who nearly cried over it. The colonel was well pleased. If that was the temper of the children, what would not the men do?

Jakin and Lew entered the boys’ bar- rack room with great stateliness and refused to hold any conversation with their comrades for at least ten minutes. Then, bursting with pride, Jakin drawl-

None the less, there was a battle royal in the barrack room, for the boys were consumed with envy and | ate, und neither Jakin nor Lew behaved in conciliatory Wise.

‘I’m goin out to say adoo to my girl.’’ said Lew to cap the climax ‘Don’t none o' ycu touch my kit. be- cause it’s wanted for active service, me bein specially invited to go by the colo- nel."

He strolled forth and whistled in the clump of trees at the back of the mar- ried quarters till Cris came to him, and, the preliminary kisses being given and taken, Lew began to explain the situation

‘I’m goin to the front with the regi- ment,’’ he said valiantly.

‘Piggy, you’re a little liar,’ said Cris, bat her heart misgave her, for Lew was not in the habit of lying.

‘‘Liar yourself, Cris,’’ said Lew slipping an arm round her. ‘I’m goin. When the reg’ment marches out, you'll see me with ’em, all gallant an gay Give us another kiss, Cris, on the strength of it.”’

“If you'd on’y a-staid at the depot, where you ought to ha’ bin. you could get as many of ’em as—as you dam please,’ whimpered -Cris, putting up her mouth.

“It’s ard, Cris. I grant you it’s ‘ard. But what’sa man to do? If I'd a-staid at the depot, you wouldn't think any- thing o’ me.”’

‘Like as not, but I’d ’ave you with me, Piggy. An ali the thinkin in the world isn’t like kissin.’’

‘‘An all the kissin in the world isn’t like ‘avin a medal to wear on the front ©’ your coat.”

‘“‘You won't get no medal.”

“Oh, yus, I shall, though. Me an Jakin are the only acting drummers that'll be took along. All the rest is full men, an we'll get our medals with them. ’”’

“They might ha’ taken anybody but you, Piggy. You'll get killed—you’re so venturesome. Stay with me, Piggy, darlin, down at the depot, an I'll love you true forever.”’

‘‘Ain’t you goin to do that now, Cris? You said you was.”’

‘‘O’ course I am, but the other’s more comfortable. Wait till you’ve growed a bit, Piggy You aren’t no taller than me now.”

‘I’ve bin in the army for two years, an I’m not goin to get ont of a chanst o’ seein service, an don’t you try to make me do so. I'll come back, Cris, an when I take on as a man I'll marry you —marry you when I’m a lance.”

‘“‘Promise, Piggy ?’’

Lew reflected on the future as arrang- ed by Jakin a short time previously, but Cris’ mouth was very near to his own.

“IT promise, s’elp me Gawd!” said he. Cris slid an arm round his neck.

“T won't ‘old you back no more, Pig- gy. Go away an get your medal, an I'll make you a new button bag as nice as I know how,”’ she whispered.

“Put some 9’ into it, Cris,

Then Cris wept anew, and the inter- view ended. Public feeling among the drummer boys rose to fever pitch, and the lives of Jakin and Lew became un- enviable. Not only had they been per- mitted to enlist two years before the regulation boy’s age—14—but, by virtue, it seemed, of their extreme youth, they were allowed to go to the front—which thing had not happened

His energy and activity are hard to beat, but thie passive resistance of our boys’ clothing will do it.

We sell Shorey’s make of Boys and children’s clothing. The material used in these garments is all shrunk. They are sewn with the best linen thread and we furnish a guarantee with each garment.

If you buy your boys’ clothing from us you can tell your boy to go ahead and enjoy himself.

Throws all the Blame on the Stomach—tThe Real Seat of Trouble is the Intestines— The Permanent Cure is Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills.

It is an old idea long since exploded that digestion is confined to the stomach. No modern scientist denies that by far the greater part of digestion and the more difficult part takes place in the intestines. This explains why dyspepsia is never really cured by pre- parations which merely aid stomach digestion and act only on th@stomach.

This fact also explains why Dr, Chase's Kid- ney-Liver Pills have been so remarkably suc- cessful as a cure for the worst forms of dyspep- sia and indigestion.

Stomach treatment may do well enough for | slight indigestion, but if you have chronic in- | Gigestion or dyspepsia of a serious nature you | can profit by the experience of scores of thou- sands who have been pone. cured by | using Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills. One
