Used Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Thurso, Que., May 24th (Special).—
Tired, :uh-down women can read a
message of hope In the statement of
Miss Mary Sabourin, an estimable
lady living here. In a statement to

"I was a sufferer for three years. I

Nine -tenths of women's troubles
come from sick Kidneys. Sick Kid-
neys fail in their duty of straining
the imeurities out of the blood. That
means that poison and disease is car-
ried to all parts of the body. The

ants, and destroyed by the shepherds,
who burn them to make pasture land,
All this Agostino told his preserver
while the boat sailed by the mole of
the Dragon on its way to the quay.
Arrived at the foot of the steps
they disembarked, and Pierre, a little
dizzy, found himself once more on
terra firma. He still wore hin coat,
his coarse woolen trousers and his
coarse shoes. He had left behind
his other clothing, ruined by the salt
Water, and brought with him only his
money and his watch. On the quay
Inc looked at himself in the window
of a tavern, and with the bandage
covering his forehead, he fancied he
had the air of a genuine brigand. He
seized Agostino by the arm and stop-
ped him.
"Where are we going at such a
rate?" Inc said.
"To breakfast in the first place,"
said the young man, "and then to our
village. We have a week's holidays
while we are waiting for other goods."
"Well, then, come breakfast with
me. Afterward you will show me
the way to an inn."
"Won't you come with me to 'our
village?" said Agostino, in a trem-
bling voice. "I had promised myself
to make my mother kiss you." •
"I would go with you very willing-
ly," said Pierre, laughing, "but y,ou
have forgotten that I promised the
captain to repaint his Saint Laurent
for him. What is promised must he
done."
"You are right," said Agostino,
gayly. "But how long will it take
you to do the work?"
"The whole of to -morrow morn-
ing."
"So that to -morrow evening you
will be ready to accompany me?"
"Yes, certainly."
"Then I will wait for you. Mean-
time I shall go and engage the carri-
ole of Father Anton. In that waY
you will make the journey more com-
fortably."
-Very well, it is settled then."
They soon reached the inn ef Santa
Maria, where Agostino was lield m
*high favor on account of the excellent
viands, smuggled from Greece and
Hely, which he brought there every
et ery month.
Installed in a room on tho ground
tioor, Pierre was able, for the first
nine in three days, to examiite hie
:Memnon and reflect upon his future
course. On the one haui he eeperi-
enced a profound disgust at the
thought 01 returning to France. On
the other Inc was loath to :rause annoy-
ance to Agostino. "everything, then,
conspired to keep him where Inc was,
and then the chant), a Ms Wondereil
country exercised its spell over him.
Evelything around him allured him—
the sceitery, savage and attractive at

to live at ease among the peasrmtry,
so interesting a subject for study in
this country, where the beggars have

All that Merinnee had written about it
reeurred to his mind—the poetic fig-
ura of the wild Colombe, the ferocious
hatred of the Baricini; and it seemed

by his skill, he breakfasted for the
last time with his companions of a
day.

ter ehaking hands with those to

' mounted with Agostino a sort of cur.
ride, drawn by a shaggy horse, and
starting off at a quick pace they soon
left Bastin, behintl them.
From the town hall of the village
the raid winds through enclosures
planted with vines, along olive groves
and among little woods of eucalyptus
and green eaks. The soil is sandy
and the climate extremely mild.
Streams, descending from the inottn-
tails, spread themselves threugii tne
earth, forming marshes covered with
rose bushes, and broad green meadow-
land over w hich fly flocks of ducks
and Wild L p . The road winds for
half of our way along the
beach, passing through 'nine -

his horse .to a gallop, explained
to his companion the habits and cus-
toms of the country, expressing him-
self with an effusion and gaiety that
contrasted strongly •with the gravity
he had shown on board. He seemed
like a school boy enjoying his vacae
non.
"You shall see how rich our country
is," he said. "We are not lazy keepers
of flocks. At Torrevecchio there is
trade! My father sold his own wine,
and our vineyard is of some value.
My brother-in-law cultivates it at
present and sells the produce.My
mother and youngest sister live In a
village, where they raise vegetebles
for the market of the neighboring
town, and I let them want far nothing.
Ah, they will love you dearly when
they know what you have done for
mei"
The painter Broiled as he thought of
the grateful affection 01 these poor
people. "I shall not be a restraint
upon them for long," he thought. "I
will soon get et way. After a day
spent in the village a guide can con-
duct me across the mountain, for I do
not care ter remain by the um coast,
In the low eountry. I want to soe the
Corsican in his rude state, the maquie

portfolio a note bf a thousand francs
saved from the wayes. That is more
than I need to live a couple of nnoutns
on in this primitive country in (Inc
midst of these people wo have no
wants. And Mien I have no more
money I shall have my profession. 1
shall paint portraits, for a hundred
sous a sitting—that will take me back
to my youtn."
The carrioie, baring crossed the
bridge of San nancrazio, roiled along
tne precipitous road between rows cot
century-oid tutestnuts. Tne sun was
sinking below the horizon, reddening
tne mountain with his last rates. Agos-
tino turned into a• little path, mong
which Inc drove, whistling gaily, like
the blackbirds a his country. .At the
end of a few huudred yards Inc stopped
before the wall of an enclosed piece
of land, and jumped to the ground.
A large dog, whicn had appeared at
the sound, barking witIi a ferocious
air, rushed between the young man's
legs, now barking joyfully. An old:
woman and a little girl made their
appearance in the orchard, and ran to
him with open arms. Agostiuo em-
braced them 'With effusion, and theb
pushed them toward his preserver,
telling them of his adventure, in (Inc
Corsican patole, with incredible volu-
tility. Pierre, received with open
arms by these pereles overwhelmed
with their gratitue. .awn into the
whirlwind of their exteavagant joy,
licked by the dog, embraced by the
mother and the children, soon found
himself installed in (Inc house, a very
modest one, but exquisitely clean,
seated at the family table, and experi-
encing a feeling of tranquil satisfac-
tion to which he had been a stranger
for many months.
Ile retirecnearly, thanking his hosts
for their hospitality, rose late on the
following morning, visited the sur-
roundings of the house, made the
acquaintance of the brother-in-law of
Agostino, who was a great hunter, and
his sister, who was a notable house-
wife, played with the little elaeietta,

whenever she approached him.

without Pierre's having done anything
more than live, Alone in his room,
stretched on the fresh Corn Mattress,
Inc smiled at himself.

with. As Inc was not more than half
inclined to leave them Inc allowed
himself to be persuaded to remain to

The mayor of Torrevecchio, a vio-
lent Bonapartist, having learned that
a painter was staying in the village,
had ventured, accompanied by the
cure of the parish, to go and request
Pierre to restore (Inc paintings on the
walls of the church, which were (Inc
work of an Italian master and which
were interesting, dating from Genoese
occupation of the country, Laurier had
accepted the task and not content with
retouching the defaced portions of (Inc
mural paintings of the little church,
had undertaken the decoration of the
chapel of (Inc Virgin recently con-
structed. Absorbed in his Work, amus-
ing himself with hunting and fishing,
without a moment to spare, Inc had
returned so completely to his old self
that he now never thought of the
past. It would have made him .blush
with shame if any eine had reminded
him that one summer night, *when the
breeze was laden with fragrance, and
the soft murmur of the sea and the
splendor of the heavens bore evilness
to the harmony that reigned in the
universe, a certain Pierre Laurier had
contemplated killing himself, for the
wicked eyes of a wenian who made
his life miserable. Ile would have
shrugged his shoulders, lighted his
Pipe, and declared that there was only
one thing in the world Worth striving
for—to get the values in a figure in
the open air. And Inc looked over the
top of his palette through his half-
closed eyes at little Marietta, who,
seated on a chestnut -log in the garden,
her feet resting on the green grass,
her dog beside her, was posing for
him, proud to Inc his model.
Agostino came back from his trip to
Leghorn, but went away Again a few
days later. Pierre seemed to have
accommodated himself to his new life
and talked no more of leaving the
country. He had sought at Beetle some
necessary articles of furniture for the
house, (Inc arrival of which aroused
the liveliest curiosity among the vel -
lagers. They could readily distinguish
the difference of station betweeu (Inc
painter and his hosts. The mayor and
the cure had both declared that Pierre'
was a superior man. His manners'
showed him to Inc city -bred. Ills gen-
erosity would seem to indicate that he
was rich. Who was he? Pierre was
evidently only a Christian name. Was
he trying to conceallne identity? And
if so, why?
The mayor, piqued by curiosity, pro-
ceeded quietly to investigato-the nea-
ter. The prefect of Ajaccio .- bad al-
ready received a message from the .sub -
prefect of Basalt, to the effect that a
mysterious visitor from the mainland
lived in the liouse of a humble family
of 'Torrevecchio, that Inc painted won-
derful pictures on the walls of the
enurch, and that although- everything.
about Min indicated him to be perfect-
ly honorable, it would yet be interest-
ing to find out who Inc was. The au-
thorities, however, were less cere-
monious. They simply sent a gen-
d'arme to ask the stranger for his
passport, Fortunately the gen-d'arme
took it into his head to stop' at .the
mayor's office on his way in order no,
tell the mayor tho object of nis.nfise
sion. The latter seeing 'that -his III-
trigues !were about to lead to an .utt.-
justifiable intrusion of the police Oh
the privacy of one for ivhom he •oa-.
tertained partieular coneideration,
took the gen-d'arine, whet was not be
blame in the matter, to task about •if,"
and sent him back to town with a let-
ter for the prefect, thus sparing Pierre,.
who was quietly pursuing his Work,
suspecting nothing, a visit from the
police. So that after an, Merit's iden-
tity remained undiscovened.
Pierre had now been *about two
modths at Torreecchio, hunting, fish-
ing and painting, and he had finished,
not only the portrait of Martetta and
the painting in the church, but also
two genre pictures, when one day, dur-

then distributed to (Inc various poluts
In Canada where a silver change short-
age exists. It is estimated that there

coin in Detroit. How much American
sliver coin there is in Windsor is not
known, but the two communities have
many things in common.
