West Pembroke, Me, March 2l.-Mrs,
A. L. Smith, of thus place, says that
Dodd's kidney Pills are the best remedy
for growing girls. Mrs. Smith emphasizes
her recommendation by the following ex-
perience:
My daughter was thirteen years old
last November and it is now two years
since she was first taken with Crazy
Spells that would last a week and would
then pass off. In month she would hay3
the spells again. At these times slid
would eat very little and was very yellow,
even the whites of her eyes would be yeE
low.
:, The doctors gave US no encouragement,
they all SAID they could not help her.
After taking one box of Dodd's Kidney
Pills, she has not had one bad spell. OF
course, We continued the treatment un-
til she had used in all about a dozen
boxes, and we still give them to her oc
casionally, when she is not feeling well
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the best
medicine for growing girls
Mothers should heed the advice of Mrs
Smith, for by so doing they may saws
their daughters, Aluch pain and sickness
and ensure healthy happy future TO,

CHAPTER XII.
AT SEA.

The interview in Hestor's cabin
with Mr.. Sidney Hammond was brief
and spirited. Hammond did not wait
for any eXplanatins, but proceeded
to denounce Hestor in scathing
terms. That gentleman smiled pleas
antly and waited for him to con-
clude.
"This is the act of a mad man or
a villain!" said Hammond as he paced
angrily up and down the narrow
room. Hestor had seated himself at
writing desk and leisurely rolled
a cigarette. "You do not look like
crazy man, but you act like one.
You have not been drinking to ex-
cess, and cannot plead intoxication
as an excuse for this outrage. Of
all the unaccountable things! What
do you mean to do? What is your
object in OBTAINING these men whom
you have induced to become your
guests? Have you stopped to think
Of the agony this will cause their
relations? Have you considered how
my sister Olive will feel when 1 fail
to return homer"
He stopped in front of Hestor, his
eyes flashing anger. His voice .trem-
bled with rage and he restrained him.
self by an effort from a physical at
tack on Hestor.
Don't get so excited, Sidney"
said Hestor, as he lit cigarette.
There is nothing so serious about
this as you imagine. Olive thinks Won

sent her a telegram and signed your
name to it. 1 made a copy of the
message and here it is"
Hestor handed a slip of paper to
Haromond, who read as follows:
Miss Olive Hammond:
1t is necessary for me to accompany
Mr.. Hestor on a short business trip to
Europe. We sail early this evening and
l shall be too busy to come home to bid
you good-by. Pack my trunk and valise
and send them to Mr.. Hestor's office
Do not come down town, as / do not
know where 1 shall be in the meantime

THAT shows that while a forger
you are not entirely lost to decency,'
said Hammond, with evident relief,
but no signs of relenting. "But how
about these other men? They have
dear ones. They have feelings.
Think of what they must suffer and
how much grief you will cause i:
you persist in your course. You must
put this boat back to New York at
once"
1T cannot be done. Sidney" said
Hestor. 81 have this all planned out.
Tomorrow these men can commun-
icate with their people. I will take
care of that" Hestor's manner
changed. The smile died on his lips
and his face grew dark. You are
my friend,'s he said in a tone sin
guiarly harsh and strident. you are
my friend, but shall not permit you

ments, so long as we comply with
the rules of discipline. We have been
informed that the yacht is ours, and
l suggest that we select our state
rooms and meet in one of them and
confer together"
You can do anything you please"
said Hestor, who had entered the
room, and had overheard the latter
part of Mr.. Morton's remarks. "But
the hour is early, and there is plenty
of excellent wine straining against
the corks in the effort to escape and
enhance the jollity of this occasion.
Besides, we are going to have music.

Hammond to his fate, and know he
will favor us with a song"
MIR. Hestor."
The speaker stopped. Capt. Wa
tiers stood in the door, and his hand
was on the arm of a gentleman
whose face and pose constituted a
character study. He was a big,
handsome man with fiorid com
pleXion, an aggressive black mus
tache, shrewd blue eyes and profu-
sion of brown hair which fell to his
coat collar. There was no timidity
in his attitude, yet there was some
indescribable weakness in his general
bearing. He was well-dressed, and
mad a ron of paper under his arm
which he carefully guarded. HestoT
looked at him in blank amazement

manded Hestor, as Capt. Waters re-
leased the arm of the new arrival.

was the reply.
''Vhat in thunder are you doing
on this boat? Where did you find
him, Capt. Waters?"
HE was in the aft passage way;
he had just come out of one of the
staterooms."

depths of despair. Had one of the
marines entered and commanded him
to walk the plank it would not have
added to the weight of woe which
overwhelmed him.
Mr.. Palmer j. Morton had taken
no part in the brief proceedings
which had accomplished this revolu-
ton. He grasped the situation from

whether their dilemma was the re-
suit of a plot or the whim of a
maniac, that arguments and force
were useless. Mr.. Morton prided him
self that he could divine the mach
nations of the cool-headed bust
ness schemer, but was he expected
to cope with the fantastic plots of a
crazy man? 1t was enough to know
that he had been duped. He must
devise way out of the trap which
he had helped to set.
Gentlemen" he said, "this is a
serious affair, but we must meet it
