You can't Judge the value
of a newspaper as an adj
vertising medium solely
by the number of pages
it prints. The newspa-
per with the m ost
pages is, more often
than not, the newspaper
with the smallest cir
cuIation.
Nowadays, people
like to have the News of
the Day served briskly
and crisply. They want
to find all the news in
their newspaper, b Ut
they don't want to wade
through a lot of bluff to
get at the real meat.
Nowadays the adver.
tiser doesn't accept the
average circulation state
ment without doing a
little probing on his own
account. The returns
he gets from his adver-
tisements tell him all he
wants to know about Cir
culation.

THE RHYTHM OF THE RAIN.

sit beside the Pickering fire and lister
to the rain,
Which beats its solemn rhythmic march
upon my window pane:
dull and dismal monotone, but in Its
muff1ed tune
Weird voices whispering of the past run
softly through its rune:
And somehow as familiar tones are thus
conveyed to me,
Loved faces from the shadow land within
They come and go within the glow Of my
declining fire,
The ones who for long years on earth ful-
filled my hearts desire;
An aged mothers gentle face In halo made
of smiles,
Whose memory still keeps far all sin which
Injuries or defileS:
Though now the collins lid shields her from
earthly Ill and care.
Her voice comes back in accents sweet
and bids her boy beware.
Near her a fathers kindly face and grave
but loving voice,
With friends long gone who come again
to solace and rejoice.
Whose presence seems here to diffuse
blessing for their friend,
Whose kindly smiles and gracious words
with love in blessing blend;
Red embers burning low as though loves
genial altar fires,
The rafndropS marking time with beat
which never flags or tires.
At such times come to seeing souls the
spirits of the past,
The memories oft by daylight cares and
stern work overcast;
The forms which touch us not at all In toll
some garish day,
The gentler thoughts in business hours
shy and sweet as they;
But when the twilight shadows veil days
worry. fret and rush,
Ghosts march timed by the rains tattoo
through evenings restful hush.
How sweet sometimes to rest at eve, to
hold this glad commune.
With rhythmic rain and rhythmic thought
and gentlest hours in tune:
Our better selves thus touching souls which
long since went away,
To leave US none we loved with quite so
true a trust as they:
And so when embers turn to gold and rest
replaces pain,
Our eyes close to the ills Of life, our weary
souls are fain
To welcome those whose tones blend with
the rhythm Of the rain.

nounced that he had discovered and per-
fected treatment which would cure
Asthma so that the patient should stay
cured. Up to this time the best that could
be done by the most eminent physicians was
to give mere temporary relief, and they
frankly acknowledged their inability to do
more. DR.. Hayes treatment has been ad
vancing steadily ever since and now more
than forty thousand sufferers have been
under care, giving to him and his associates
vast experience and the highest attainable
skill in dealing with this most distressing
disease. DIR. Hayes system is such that
patients are treated at their own homes
and through perfected plan of giving ad
icines prepared in his own laboratory to
suit each individual patients needs, anyone
anywhere can be successfully treated. DR.

CHAPTER XII.

The next morning about ten Miss
Annette Delmar was admitted to the
drawing-room of the Strong residence
She was thickly yelled. She told Mat
thews she wanted to see Mr.. WILDLY
at once. AS she took her seat she heard
voices in the library across the hall.
She recognized Whidby's voice and Col
Warrenton's, and now and then heard
masculine tones she did not recognize.
She rose when WILDLY came in, but was
startled at the sight of his pale,
troubled face.
Don't scold me-" she said, extending
her hands and speaking tenderly. Il

worrying at all. Dear, it is only imag-
ination on your part. You have read of
such things and fancy them possible to
yourself. I don't believe a word of it.
You had nothing in the world to do with
it. It is only an absurd idea"
WILDLY put his arm round her and
drew her to sofa. He did not speak for
| q minute, but sat stroking her gloved
hand. Then he said:

light here and there about the corner,
made a minute examination of the car

where he crouched.
Warrenton and DIR. Lampkin watched
him curiously. both with long faces.
When he had finished and closed his
lantern with a snap. Warrenton ven
tured to say:
eff you have discovered anythiEg, sir,
which would lead you to believe that
my young friend was not the instru-
ment of hypnotist, and not made to
commit the crime, 1 should be very
grateful. I am really afraid the morbid
fear that such is the case will drive the
poor fellow mad.''
Hendricks smiled as ne buttoned his
ulster around him.
THAT point, believe, lies in DIR.
Lampkin's province. I was trying to
discover traces of the murderer where
present 1 can tell you no more. How
ever, may say that in spying on you

WILDLY is a capital actor"
'What do you mean?" asked Col. War
renton, sharply.
The detective smiled.
"Only that there are two sides to the
case. Either WILDLY is guilty or some
one else is; and that is what the public
thinks. 1 should be glad to prove him
wholly innocent. If he is guilty. he is
listening to me now and has gone

CHAPTER XI.-CoNTINUED.

Slowly and cautiously they descended
the stairs. At Whidby's door the hypno
tiststopped, held up his hand warningly,
bent his body forward, and stood mo-
tionless for about two minutes. War
renton did not know whether he was
listening for a sound within or concen-
trating his hypnotic power on WILDLY.
In the dim moonlight that fell through
the frosted glass of the front door, the
colonel could see the doctors forehead
was wrinkled, and his massive brows
drawn together. Then the hypnotist
stood erect, took a deep, full breath, and
said: He's all right now; come in"
He turned the doorknob and entered.
WILDLY was lying on his side. In the
white light from without, his face
over him and said, softly. but impera-
lively: Sleep! sleep! you are sleeping
now deeper and deeper. All, there you
go!" Then, to the great establishment
of the colonel, he turned, laughed aloud,
and spoke to him in an ordinary tone.
Good! so far it could not be better.
Now we are ready for the test. Ah!"-
as he noticed the colonel's start-"you
need not be afraid of his hearing us; he
is as far away as if he were dead. See."
the hypnotist chuckled with salts
faction as he pointed to the blood
stained chair near the bed and Whidby's
shirt upon it--"see, he has followed my
instructions to the letter. Good! The
folding doors, think, on the night of
the murder, were pushed back and the
curtains hung between; is that not so %
YES"
"All right" The hypnotist slid the
doors apart. and released the portiere
from the holders on each side. "Now
for your role, and then we will begin.
1t may not be very pleasant for you, but
you will oblige me if you will lie down
in the bed in the next room in the same
position as that in which they found the
dead man."
Warrenton stared; then he laughed
awkwardly, and said:
"Al right; am at your service"
WILDLY won't hurt you, give you
my word, said the doctor. 'Take of your
coat and throw down your suspenders-
so. Now off with that collar and cravat
and turn the shirt under at the neck
this way. I would have asked you te
wear a night shirt, but I was afraid
you'd catch cold"
The colonel took off his slippers,
turned down the sheets, and got into
