Louis grasped the proffered hand and

good and all.
"Who was this man who accosted
you in jail?" asked the detective.

Lang.

Denver, musing. at was never clear

GREAT CHANGE
From Change In Food.

The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the mat
ter. Feed the stomach on proper food
easy to digest and containing the
proper amount Of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
1.-THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection Of the stom-
ach.' I was actually so nervous that
I could not sit still for five minutes
to read the newspaper, and to attend
to my household duties was simply
impossible. l doctored all the time
with remedies, but medicine did no
good.
my physician put me on all sorts
of diet, and I tried many kinds of
cereal foods, but none of them agreed
with me. was almost discouraged,
and when I tried Grape-Nuts did so
with many misgivings-1 had no faith
that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed.
"But 1t did succeed, and you don't
know how glad / am that l tried 1t.
I feel like a new person, have gain
ed in weight and don't have that
terrible burning sensation in my stom-
ach any more. feel so strong
again that I am surprised at myself.
The street noises that used to irritate
me so, l never notice now, and my
mind is so clear that my household
duties are a real pleasure"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. 1t is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to quit the old food that
has failed and take on Grape-Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate of potash con-
tanned in the natural grain, which
unites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that will make
I'D the soft gray filing in the thou
sands of delicpte nerve centres in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is a
sure road back to health in all such
cases.

CHAPTER III.
The First Serious Setback.

With that high aim before him,
Lang soon left the saloon and retired
early to bed, sobered by his unexpect-
ed offer and prospects.
All night long Denver had lain
awake mapping out the plan of action
that he wished Lang to follow; and in
the morning the detective and Lang
met as by agreement, at the Office
of a detective agency.

took a seat in the detectives room,

Danger in Painted TOYS.

Do not buy painted wooden toys
for the children. During our early
years of life we closely resemble the
lower animals in bringing everything
to the test of taste. The writer dis
tinctly remembers trying to swallow
marking ink. Some toy manufacture
ers state that the colors they use are
harmless. Well. without being I'M

the little children can very well dis

The Tub Was Too Full.

While we were spending our sum
mer vacation at Point Allerton, one OF
our neighbors came to visit us, bring
ing her youngest son, Chester, about
years old. In the afternoon, while
watching the surf, some one proposed
to go in bathing. The little fellow
thought he would like to go also. He
did not enjoy it as we'll as he thought
he would.
Later in the afternoon his mother
said: Chester, noticed you did not
enjoy your bath; at home you like
to get in the tub"
But, mother" he replied, that tub
was too full."-Boston Herald.

may never have occasion to use these
accomplishments, but If you ever do
want them, you will want them

II am now taking a course of box

easily make it include lessons in
wrestling. AS you have suggested
arms shall practice a few bouts,
to become expert in the use of the
short sword. The shooting galleries
will give sufficient practice with the
gun and revolver"
"You will put yourself in training
at once" The detective paused
abruptly, springing to his feet.
Lang and Denver had been sitting
very comfortably together upon a
leather lounge which occupied one
side of the Office; all of a sudden
Denver sprang up and In one bound
landed in the Office chair, and grab
bling up a pen from the desk before
which he now sat, he began writing.
Louis was for a moment at loss to
the good sense not to ask for an ex-
PLANTATION nor appear surprised. 1t
was soon made apparently clear, when
into the room very unceremoniously
stalked a parsonage, whom Louis in
stantly recognized by intuition as a
detective.
Denver rose from his chair very de-
liberately, and while acknowledging
his visitors presence by a cordial
nod of his head, spoke to Lang in a
businesslike tone. in voice rather
loud, and evidently for the purpose Of
being overheard by the newcommer:
''Mr. Smith, may or may not see
you again very soon; however, if you
follow my instructions implicitly"
handing him note at the same time,
you cannot go astray, and undoubt-
eddy will recover the property"
Lang was somewhat hurriedly
bowed from the office. not so quickly
as to look rude, but before the visitor
had a chance to get critical view Of
him.
Il wonder who that man is?" quert
led Lang to himself "Some detective,
evidently, whom Denver does not
wish to see me-"
The same thought crossed the in
truder's mind. He could add two and
two together about as well as any
body. Smith that's kind of a
cheap name!" he said to himself.
Evidently Denver doesn't want me to
know this fellow Just because he
don't want me to know him is just
the reason should know him. That's
only another score l owe Jim Denver,
and I'll begin the payment by watch
ing Mr.. Smith"
This was the first serious setback.
Lang was greatly disappointed in
being hustled so unceremoniously
from the detectives office, but he par
TALLY understood the reason, that the
visit was unexpected and undesirable.
The slip of paper given him by Den.
yer hardly enlightened him:
Beware Of Regan-lead a double
life-begin your training at once"
With it was a check for fifty dollars.
"Since these are my instructions"
said Lang, land as l have nothing
else to go by, must begin my train
ing at once. l don't understand what
object Denver has in view in making
an athlete out of me. but as he pays
the bills can but obey orders" And
it was we'll that he did so.
