THE ROENTGEN RAYS.
II tell you, Sturgis, it is wonderful
discovery. I don't know what applica-
tions may ultimately be made of it in
other branches of science, but 1 am
convinced that it is bound to cause q
revolution in surgical diagnosis, ''said
Or. Thurston, enthusiastically.
"Yes," replied Sturgis, Il have no
doubt that Roentgen's rays will be of
great assistance to the surgeon in the
examination of features and in, the To-
cation of foreign bodies which cannot
be reached by the PROBE"

THE CHANGE OF LIFE

Is the most important period in . NO
mans existence. Owing to modern
methods of living, not one woman In
q thousand approaches this perfectly
natural change without experiencing
. train of very annoying and some
times painful symptoms.
Those dreadful hot flashes, sending
the blood surging to the heart until Il
seems ready to burst, and the faint
feeling that follows, sometimes with
chills, as if the heart were going to
stop for good, are symptoms of dam
gerous, nervous trouble. Those hot
flashes are just so many calls from
nature for help. The nerves arc cry.

HOPE ON.


There was never a day SO niFS7 and
gray
That the blue was not somewhere above
It:
There is never a mountain-top ever so
bleak,
That some little flower does not love it
There was never a night so dreary and
dark
That the stars were not somewhere
shining;
There IS never a cloud so heavy and black
That 1T has not silver lining.
There is never a waiting time, weary and
long,
That will not sometime have an ending;
The most beautiful part of the landscape
is where
The sunshine and shadows are blending.
Into every life some shadows will fall,
But heaven sends the sunshine of love;
Through the riffs in the clouds we may,
If we will,
See the beautiful blue above.
Then let us hope on, though the way be
long
And the darkness be gathering fast,
For the turn in the road is a nttlel way on
Where the home lights will greet us
at last.

Flushing, Mich, Jan. z, 1901 (Spe-

in the cause of Temperance and Social
Reform in Michigan is Mrs. P. A. Pass
more of this place. She is prominent
and very enthusiastic w. C. T. U. wom-
an, and one who never loses an oppor-
tunity to strike blow against the
demon of Intemperance. Mrs. Pass
more has suffered much bodily pain
during the last three years through
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. At times
the pain was almost unbearable, and
the good lady was very much dis
tressed. She tried physician after
physician, and each in turn failed to
relieve her, let alone effect a cure.
Home remedies suggested by anxious
friends were applied, but all to no pur-
pose. At last some one spoke of Dodd's
Kidney Pills as great Remedy for
all Kidney and Bladder Diseases, and
Mrs. Passmore decided to try them.
She did, and is now well woman. She
has given the following statement for
publication:
At different times in the past three
years, 1 have suffered severely with
Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and after
trying four Of the best physicians
could hear of, two of them living in the
State of New York, found myself no
better. I took any amount of home
remedies suggested by kind friends,
with little or no relief from anything.
I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Less than one box has done me more
good than all the other treatments
combined. I am still using them, and
can say from experience that they are
an excellent Remedy for Kidney and
Bladder Trouble. would heartily rec.
ommend them to all those suffering
from these ills in Like manner.

Passmore, they will do for any one
similarly afflicted.

CHAPTER XVII.

Half an hour later Sturgis was walk
ing briskly down Broadway, with his
usual air of absent-minded concentra-
ton. Presently he turned into side
street and at once slackened his pace.
He now sauntered along like lounger
at q loss how to kill q long, idle day.
The show window of bric-a-brac shop
arrested his attention. He stopped to
examine it's contents.
A little farther up the street was
liquor saloon, outside of which stood
a group of hoisterous young rowdies.
An older man, evidently in his cups,
was seated on an adjoining stoop,
where, with maudlin gravity, he seemed
to be communing with himself.
On the opposite side of the way stood
a low, dilapidated brick house. A
painted sign over the windows of the
ground floor bore the name: IMAM
HAITIAN CHEMICAL CO."
The drunken man rose unsteadily to
his feet and approached Sturgis with
outstretched hand.
'Say, Jimmy, get on ter his nibs
strikin' de bloke fur a nickel ter git
medicine fur his sick mudder!" eX-
claimed one of the young ru1fians.
The wretched-looking individual thus
designated seemed hardly able to stand
as he stead;ed himself against an iron
railing; but the eyes he turned upon
Sturgis were bright with intelligence
and the words he spoke were uttered in
a low, firm voice:
Hes been here-been here twice."
"Twice?" echoed Sturgis, surprised.
''Where is he now?'

"You don't know?"
''No, sir; but / guess Ccnklin does
This is how it was: 1t was my watch

Manhattan company's place through
the basement at quarter after five.
So just settled myself out here and
waited. Well, 1 waited and waited, but
there wasn't any sign of Chatham, and
when Flagler came along to relieve me

out yet. Flagler he spotted the place

o'clock, when 1 came On for my watch.

He had put up the back-door game

'Yes, sir; just what said to Conk-
lin. So, lquick as a wink, sent him
around the block to keep his eye
peeled on the next street, and waited
here. And here I've been ever since.
If Conklin isn't on the block above, it
must be because Chatham has made
tracks again, and he after him.

CHAPTER XV.-CoNr1NUED.

Unconsciously Agnes had chung to
Sprague's hand. Now, as the sense of
danger disappeared, she became
aware of what she was doing; and, in
sudden embarrassment, she with
drew her hand from his reassuring
clasp.
The artist, recalling the object of
his visit, at once became grave and
formal.
81 am sorry to intrude upon you ut
this unconventional hour, Miss Muir
studio to-day. 1t was evidently
dropped by you yesterday; and,
thinking it might be important, I"
"a letter? What letter." asked
Agnes, puzzled.
Sprague held out the sealed envel
ope. The young girl tore it open and
cast hurried glance at it's contents.
Then suddenly understanding, she
tore the paper to shreds and threw
these angrily into the fire which
burned brightly in the large open
fireplace.
ooh, that!" she exclaimed, con-
do you mean to say you thought"
She stopped short, seized by sud-
den shyness.
"What else could I think?" said
Sprague, softly.
He was watching the fragments of
paper as they fared upon the hearth.
The fame which consumed them
seemed to shed q radiant glow upon
his heart.
'"Then," he added, presently, and
still more softly, eff there is nothing
between you andAand him-perhaps-
perhaps I may hope-Miss Murdoch
Agnes"
His hand sought hers and found it.
But the reaction had come at last,
and the brave girl who had been able
to control herself in the presence of
a threatening mailman now gave way
to fit of hysterical weeping.
Sprague, not being medical man,
could hardly have known what RENE
dies to employ in an emergency of this
kind. All he did was to whisper sooth-
ing words in the young girls ear and
to kiss the tears from her eyes. But
apparently that was enough. Evident
ly for layman he must have possessed
considerable medical intuition; for,
after sobbirg awhile upon his shout
der, Agnes quoted down gradually and
remained contentedly nesting in his
arms, while the artist, doubtless fear
full of relapse, continued, for per-
haps an unnecessarily long time, to ply
the treatment whose effect had pro-
duced upon his patient SO marked, SO
rapid, and SO satisfactory result.
The attention of the medical profess
sion is respectfully called to treat
ment which, though empirical, may
possibly possess specific virtues.

rather dark, his quick eye caught a
passing glimpse of a feminine head
cozily nestled upon distinctly mas
culine shoulder. the owner of which
had his back turned to him. Bach
elor' cynic though he was, Sturgis had
not the heart to interrupt so inter-
esting a situation; and, as the couple
were so absorbed that they had not
noticed the intrusion upon their tete-
a-tete, he discreetly retreated and
softly closed the door.
BY this time Murdoch had passed
into his study. so that Sturgis found
himself alone in the hall. He was
glad of short respite during which
he might collect his thoughts; for,
having been taken by surprise. he had
not had time to select a plausible
topic for the interview which he had
solicited from Murdoch. Not know
ing that the house was that of the
chemist, his sole object had been to
gain admittance. so that he might be
able to observe the Manhattan Chem
zeal company's offices from the rear.
and if possible to ascertain how Chat
ham had managed to give the detec-
tives the slip the first time he APP
peared to them.
Now that he was in the house the
reporter was confronted with the ne
cessity of explaining his presence
there without betraying his true pur-
pose. This would not have been .
