devious one. Some Of the rain of

it reaches the earth as rain or snow
until 1t joins the ocean or great navi-
gable rivers. Public appreciation Of
the value of this work has steadily in
creased, and urgent demands for its
extension have come from all sections
Of the country. The work includes the
collection of data relating to the flow
of surface streams, researches on the
location and movements of under
ground waters,-great subterranean
rivers which move with deliberation-
and the investigation of the physical
character of these waters, such as
hardness, color, turbidity, etc. The
sources and effects of the pollution of
municipal water supplies have also
received much study.

Half the nervousness. half the irri- tability that is so common in every day life. is really sickness. and in most cases a condition that accom- panies kidney trouble.
 It is the work of the kidneys to keep the blood free from uric acid and other poisons. but when the kid neys are sick, and not doing their duty. the uric acid poisons permeates the body, and attacks body. brain and nerves. The irritation causes ner- vousness. irritability. headache. dizzy spells: makes you languid. unfit for work. and inclined to worry over trifies. Besides. there is nothing more annoying than a bad back. and backache is the most common sign of kidney trouble. You feel lame and tired in the morning. sutfer day and night with a dull aching in the back. and 1t hurts to stoop or bend or lift.
 Keep your temper cool. and get the kidneys we'll. No person can feel cheerful and healthy If the kidneys are the least bit affected A few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills. taken in the beginning. will set the kidneys right

 They stared down at 1t, amazed. IL was the coroner who spoke first.
 Pass 1t up," he said.
 He turned 1t over carefully in his hand. It was flne type of the Smith & Wesson. It was fully loaded. None of the chambers had been discharged.
 "Ah." he said, ''see t'ere," and he pointed to clot of blood on the butt And, see, here are some initials-J. T. D. Whose are t'ey?"
 They are John Tolbert Drysdale's," answered Delroy in low voice.

 What is it, Delroy?" asked one of them. Nothing serious, I-ah!" he added as his eyes fell upon the cot.
 He went to it quickly, the other fol- lowing; touched the hideous wounds, looked into the eyes. felt the temples.
 He's dead" he said at last; "has been dead two or three hours, should say. His skull is crushed-fairly beat en in. It's your gardener, Graham, isn't it?'
 "Yes," Delroy answered.
 The doctor stepped back.
 q turn the case over to you, Heffel- bower," he said. Its in your province now. MT. Delroy. this is Mfr. Heffel- bower. the coroner"
 Heffelbower bowed. He was little. stout man, baldheaded and with wide open blue eyes that stared like dolls. Primarily he was a saloon keeper, but had been elected coroner as a reward for his valuable services to his party. He possessed certain native shrewd- ness which fitted him to some extent for the office; also lack of nerves and a familiarity with crime which might often be of service.
 q presume" he began slowly, "tat t'is man wasn't killed here fin his bedf"
 ''No," said Delroy, we found him ly- ing out on the pier wonder. We thought 1t only common humanity to bring him in, since there might have been a spark of life left"
 "Oh, of course." agreed the coroner instantly, visibly impressed by Del roy's presence. "Tat was right. Who found t'e body?"
 His son. there," and Delroy indi- cated young Graham by a gesture.
 "I'n tell everything I know, sir" said William, coming forward eagerly. "I went up t tn house about 9 o'clock and brought this cot down. intendin' t vIrn in here an relieve father at mid night. Father was settin' out there on tn pier a-smokin' his pipe when I turned in. I went t sleep almost as soon as touched tn piller. I don't know how long it was, but after awhile I kind O woke up an heard voices a-talkin' out there on tn pier. I got up an looked out tn winder an purity soon I saw 1t was Mir. Drysdale with father.-
 "Drysdale? Who's heY' asked the coroner.
 Hes a frend of mine." spoke up Delroy quickly, ''an old friend He's staying here at the house with us. In fact. he's to marry my wife's sister,"
 The coroner bowed

 T shall go back in due timc. MT Drysdale." retorted the coroner In [ cool voice. holding up his hand. "Per haps you have as yet not heard of t'( murder committed here last night ant of t'e robbery which accompanied it?'
 Drysdale paled suddenly; his hands were trembling.
 ''Murderw he repeated blankly 'Robberyw
 "Preclsely. Graham, t'e gardener was murdered last night and Mrs. Del roy's pearl necklace stolen. You wer( t'e only person who left t'e house. Your revolver was found beside him. Iii button, torn from your coat, was found in his hand. hope you will now per ceive t'e wisdom of giving us tetailed account of your movements while you were away from t'e house."
 Drysdale had listened with grow. ing pallor. When the coroner had fin. ished he was fairly livid, and he passed his hand helplessly before his eyes But he did not speak.
 "Well?' asked Heftelbower impa. tiently, after a moment.
 Drysdale took down his ha4 and steadied himself against the back oi his chair.
 T have nothing to say." he mur mured hoarsely.
 Do you persist in tat decision p asked the coroner sharply.
 T certainly do."
 Then" said Heffelbower, rising il his turn, fin t'e name of t'e law, ] shall haf to arrest you. Please finish your dressing"
 Drysda.e was ready in few mo- ments, and the little party passed out into the hall.
 Suddenly from the farther end came the swish of skirts, and Grace Croydon appeared. radiant as the new day. She paused in astonishment as she saw the group. Then she came forward Her eyes went anxiously from face to face.
 "What is 1t, Richardy" she asked What has happenedY'
 Delroy laughed mirthless laugh.
 Enough and to spare" he answered. They're arresting Jack, here, for mur- der."
 For murder! Oh. why did you kill IhimT she cried, turning upon her lover. Why did you not watt
 "Kill himr' echoed Delroy. ~But he didn't. Grace! How can you think such a thing? He could clear himself by telling where he was last night, and he refuses to do 1t. Maybe he'll tell you" She turned her searching eyes to her lovers face.
 "Where were you last night, Jack" she asked. "Youn tell me, won't youw < ''Tell you?" he sneered, his eyes blazing with savage anger. Where was I? You ask me that?"
 And with a gesture of fierce con- tempt he went on down the stair. fT0 ha NnS.tlnyaA

 He threw open the door and ran out on the pier, the others following. At the extreme end rope was dangling in the water. He reached over and pulled it up. The wire cage was nap- ping open. The necklace had disap- peared.

 He was shivering convulsive- ly. clutching at the hatrack for SUD- port.
 Tt was the lightning, I suppose" said Tremaine at last in a suppressed voice. T knew that bolt struck some . where near"
 "Liyl,n.h' don't cave u mans head in, does itY asked the boy doggedly.
 Delroy grabbed raincoat from the rack, and Tremaine caught up another. Across the lawn they sped, under the trees, down to the water front, with young Graham stumbling blindly along behind. The little white boathouse gleamed vivid in the glare of the light ming. They entered and paused uncer- tainly in the gloom. N"#
 Where is hep asked Delroy.
 "Out there on tn pier," answered Graham brokenly. ''Out there where they struck him down."
 At the pier end lay a dark, huddled figure. A lightning flash disclosed the staring eyes, the blood stained face.
 Delroy, swallowing hard, gripped back his self control.
 we can't leave him out here" he said. Perhaps there's a spark of life. You take the legs. I'll take the head"
 They laid their burden on the cot which the son had occupied and stood for a moment looking down at 1t. The boy seemed on the verge of collapse. . His lips were drawn, his teeth chatter ing. The horrible sobbing did not stop. Delroy turned to him sharply.

 The boy straightened up with a groan of agony.

 "Yes, sir," answered Graham, and Disappeared in the outer darkness.
 For some moments the two men stood looking down at the body with out speaking. Then Delroy stopped and touched lightly the bloody fore head.

 Yes nodded Tremaine. the mur- derer struck boldly from the front. He didns think 1t necessary to steal up eehind-"

Copper owing to increased demand and the thousand and one uses to which it is put, has rapidly advanced in price until to-day this metal is be- ing sold at a price heretofore un- known. Anticipating this condition, we some time ago placed large orders for Tea Kettles, Tea and Coffee Pots and such other articles as we usually carry, and we have just received the goods which we have marked at the old prices but the way they are going will soon exhaust our stock and the old prices will disappear.
