Its best use is before you
fear consumption; when
you begin to get thin, weak,
run down then is the pru-

care, and the best way to
take care is to supply the
system with needed fat and

black man for the release of my daughter"

showing some sign of activity, then it is
at your house. It's been there all the time!
l knew it! How long has Wanga been

Mr.. Warren felt the most intense hatred
for the man on the other side of the graf
ing. But for its presence he felt that he
should fall upon him to such purpose that
the warrant for his arrest could serve for a
new charge of a similar kind, charge be-
ing made merely in the name of the victim.
Il refuse to tell you," he answered be-
tween compressed teeth.
'Tfen I'll find out from the guards" said
Golding, starting toward the door.
Mr.. Warren made a last appeal.
"Gcldirg," he cried, won't you lift a
hand to save my daughter? Think of your
responsibilities in the matter"

naturally greatly worked up, but j tell YOU
that if you had made an ally of me in
stead of an enemy in the beginning this
might not have happened"
He hurried from the room and banged
the deer after him.
Guard! Guard!" shouted Mr. Warren at
the top of his lungs.
One of the keepers came in on the run.
Whats the matter?' he gasped.
Cant you tell Judge Drew l must see
him? It's matter of life or death, Quick
as you hope for mercy above!'
I'll ask him." returned the keeper, run
ming out.
Mr.. Warren paced up and down in agony
for several minutes. AT last. the eccentric
justice came in.
What can l do for you. Mr.. Warren"
he asked, in a quick, low tone.

Mr. Warren allowed the wild rage to pro-

that IT was indeed impossible for Gold:ng to
shake off even for a moment the avaric!ous
passion that had supplanted all ordinary
emotions and impulses within him.
