The Spaniards, such of them as lip

And thus In the space of a few mi

I laughed. "Would It?" said I. "TUeu tl
I'll do It and never expect my con- *

Tr Jan Pengony looked after him as he
walked away along the gangway, and c

n- nothing and went to see to the baling

We got her dry after much hard lan.
bor, and leaving the balers at their
'e- work, for every now and then a big
sea would come overboard. I went aft
<x> to the poop. Alee was at the tiller himself.
"Whereabouts ore we. Alec?" 1 nsked.
'P' "I'm not sure." he replied anxiously.
Ke "None of those dolts In the ooneh knows

was Uktn down with a severe attack
ot what is called JL#a Grippe" fays F.
L. Hewett, a prominent druggist of
Winfield, 111. "The only medicine I
used was two bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It broke up the oold

Remedy can always be depended upon

off any threatened attack of pneumonia.
It is pleasant to take, too, which
makes it tho most desirable and one
of the most popular preparations in
