Harriet Hobson Dougherty. , "What shall withstand the 'great decree, When a brave nation will be free ?" CTANDINQon Charleston's beauti- ful old Battery, and looking over the historic harbor) one sees a narrow strip oi land lying far out near the bar en the left, the yellow sand seeming to rise but little above the world of tossing, surging water around it. A small and insignificant place it seems, but around the little pile of sand there clueters some of oar country's most tragic history, while linked with the name of Sullivan's Island, and old Fort Moultrie, is the undying fame ot such men as Col. William Moultrie, Francis Marion, Sergeant Jasper and Governor Railed ge. During the memorable year of 1776, when the .patriotic Americans were battling so fiercely to throw off Eng land's yoke, news came to South Caro lina that the long-talked-ot attack on the South was about to be made. Charleston was the principal Southern port, and if the beautiful old oity and her magnificent harbor were once in possession of the British, it would give them an almost impregnable po sition right in the very heart of the Southern colonies. The matter was talked over at great length among the British commanders, and, after being assured by the English Governor of South Carolina that the Continental army in the South was composed en tirely ot raw boys, who would run at the first gun fired by the trained Brit ish troops, it was determined to make a grand attack on the stately old "City by the Sea," and thus gain a firm loot bold for England on Southern soil. Wonderful plans were made, ana a grand fleet of war vessels, carrying over two hundred and sixty guns, was put in fighting order and started toward the South. In the meantime Goyernor Rutledge had not been idle by any means, but had promptly fortified the city to the best of his ability, and then sent for the regiment commanded by .hat splendid fighting machine, Col. William Moultrie. As a result in a ihort time from the banks of the beau liful Winyah Bay came marching into Charleston a body of determined men, clad in buff and blue, who represented c :e noblest names of the proud old Palmetto State, and had vowed every thing they had their princely for tunes and tneir very lives to iree- lom's cause. "Colonel Moultrie, I want you to build a fort on Sullivan's Island and steep the British from reaching the 3i ty," was the curt order the Governor ?ave the minute his eyes rested on tne rail, stately officer. "Certainly, sir. Of what shall I build it?" came the reply. "Of what?" answered Governor Rut- :'edge, who knew well tne man Into whose capable hands he was putting aot only the safety of the city, but of the whole South. "Of sand mud ir water anything, only build a fort ! Then get in it and hold it, even it all England, commanded by King George himself, should try to wrest it from you !" "uertainiy, bit!" came the imper turbable answer, and as the' colonel turned away only his companion, Capt. Francis Marion, saw the flash of battle In the quiet gray eyes that meant he would succeed in his hercu lean task, no matter what the cost might be. The next few weeks Sullivan's Island was the scene ot a strange and interest ing actiyity. There was no hint of ebade on this barren shore, and under ihe blazing tropic sky some of the handsomest young cavaliers in all the rolony of South Carolina burrowed day alter day in the burning sand, like gophers, laying the foundation of their fort. Then slowly the walla of that famous fortress 'began to rise and as sume shape. They were built of pal metto logs, laid in parallel rows, six teen feet apart, the inter-spaces being e-osely packed with sand, and places left for twenty-six large guns. Colonel Moultrie displayed rare wisdom in se lecting the material for the fort, for he I t lint. e m fcuew uuw utiie enact euner snot ois the!! could have on the spongy fiber of i is State's beautiful palm tree. Day alter day the patriots tolled, until the faces of the men were burned almost black by the sun, and still their com mander said nothing of his plans, sel dom speaking except to give hie curt orders, but smoked his pipe with a quiet twinkle in his eyes, as He listen ed to the numerous visitors, who cheer- luiiy assured him that the very first broadside from the. British ships would sweep his little fort off the face of the earth and into the depths of thee only once was his habitual calm ruffled. Gen. Charles Lee was on a tour of inspection through the South, and that picturesque personage sailed across the harbor nearly every day to look contemptuously at the little fort and offer numerous suggestions. "Hadn't you better build a bridge from the island to the mainland, Col. MADE YOUNG AGAIN, "One of Dr. King's New Life Pills each night for two weeks has put me in my teens' again," writes D. H. Turn er, of Demosey town, Pa. They're the best n the world for Liver,- Stomach and Bowels. Purely vegetable. Never gripe. Only 5c at E. T. Whitehead Moultrie?" he asked one day, a faint . - ." i sneer on his handsome nee, as m glanced superciliously about him. "What tor?" came the laconic query. "Why, for your men to retreat over," replied Lee, little dreaming of the storm be had raised. There was silence for a second) and then With his eyes flashing gray fire, Col. Moultrie thun dered in tones that drowned the roar of the surf, and' made his men shake with inward mirth: "My soldiers know how to die, sir, but they haye never learned to retreat i uovernor Rutledge told me to build this fort and hold it, and I'll do it, though all Europe tried to take it from me." The discomfited general put his hat on his handsome head, and, muttering, You are mad, utterly mad !" returned to Charleston, while Col. Moultrie put his pipe back in his mouth and went on serenely digging his postboles. It was the latter part of June, 1776, that eight vessels of the British fleet, under command of Sir Peter Parker, orossed the bar and anchoring three hundred and fifty yards from the little, unfinished fort, opened a deadly fire from over a hundred guns. Inside Fort Moultrie were four hundred and thirty-five men, with only twenty-five guns and scarce twenty-eight rounds of powder. "Do all the damage you can, and hold that fort I" had been the governor's last message, and after or dering his men to strip to the waist, the better to withstand the torrid heat, Colonel Moultrie gave his final com mand before the battle, "Shoot to kill, and never give up." Three times the great guns of the British war vessels sent their thunder over the water, and still no sign of life came from the pile of palmetto logs, above whieh streamed a white flag with a blue crescent. Then as a cheer of triumph broke from the English sailors, Col. Moultrie sent his answering message over the waves a deadly answer that swept the deck of Sir Peter's flagship from end to end, and left dead and wounded in its wake. For hours the battle raged, the little handful of South Carolinians fighting as surely men never fought before. Cut off from the city they were de- tending, exhausted by the frightful heat, almost out of ammunition, they tougbt stubbornly on with a coolness and determination that slowly, but surely, won the day. Men with entire limbs torn away loaded, aimed and fired their guns and then fell dead on the blood-soaked sand, their last word being "Liberty I" It was during this battle that Sergeant Jasper made his name immortal by leaping outside the wall and securing the flag which had been shot away. Then, as the sun went slowly down, the disabled. Eng lish fleet moved sullenly back, and with its wounded commander groaning as his flagship slowly sailed away, and for three years the South was free from British invasion. - Congress made Col. Moultrie a brigadier-general for his success, and named the fort in his honor, while In the Palmetto seal of his own State his vic tory was a lasting commemoration. After the revolution the old fort grad ually fell into decay, until it was little more than a pile of ruins. Then, after many years, (be government had it restored on the old plan, and in 1860, when the war cloud burst over the South, it was occupied by a United States force, under command of Maj. Robert Anderson, who, feeling that he would soon require a stronger fortress, removed on December 26, 1860, to Fort Sumter. Fort . Moultrie is now but a pile of ruins, with little to interest the tourist save its tragic past and .the tomb ot Osceola. This great Seminole chief tain was treacherously seized while under the protection ot a flag of truce, on October 23, 1837, and sent a pris oner to Fort Moultrie. There he was so prostrated by grief and wasted by fever that he died January 80, 1838. A monument was erected to his mem ory near the entrance to the fort, and few visitors fail to pause by the lonely grave and pay the tribute of a sigh to the memory of the brave and hapless young chieftain, whose death meant t be final overthrow of bis nation.

Sick and nervous headaches are amongst the worst ills of life. The manor woman wno is subject to headache at irregular ftemUi goes through lite bearing a iow "rrY and wretchedness that is terrible to think Headaches as a rule, result rrom a aw ordered condition of the nervous system. Mental excitement, loss ot sleep, oooiiy fatigue, and disordered digestion are exciting causes. When the brain becomes tired and debilitated, the whole nervous system fe wcay ened, and headaches result; If the hret is sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and digestion deranged, headaches invariably follow. To cure and prevent headache, the nervous sys tem w must be strengthened and vitahxed. The most persistent cases of-headache, nervous feebleness, and sleeplessness, are permanently cured by Paine's Celery Compound; it is the great reconstructant of the nervous system. Mrs. Henry Westrick, St. Clair, Mich.,-tells of her release from suffering as follows: I have been troubled with dyspepsia and sick headache for a number of Jre Ab? every week I would have a bad spell of sick headache, but since I began using Paine's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia is gone, and I do not have any more headaches.
