CHAPTER ANl.
From the Review Office to our hotel
was not great distance, and this we ran,
regardless of the indignation Of jostled
wayfarers. My cousin plunged into the
smoking-room and seized a Bradshaw. l
looked over his shoulder with an equal
excitement. The next express from Pad
dington was at midnight, and 1t was
timed to arrive at the nearest station
to Polleven that the map showed us by
twelve-thirty the following morning. But
that village itself was distant by road
a good fifteen miles from the station.
With Cornish hills we should be lucky
if we arrived there by three in the after
noon. The postal guide informed US that
our letter of warning would be deliv-
cred about twelve o'clock next day. A
telegram-for there was no wire to Pole
ven would scarcely arrive earlier
There was nothing more to be done.
1t was, indeed, shortly before three
o'clock that our carriage groaned and
screeched it's way down the steep descent
into Poleven village. At the inn we
soon discovered the direction of DR..
Weston's cottage, and, taking the advice
of the landlord as to the roughness of the
started off on foot. After stiff climb
of three-quarters of a mile between rug
ged cart ruts running with water from
the winter springs we emerged. into a
little glen, sparsely wooded. At the
further end, built on the higher ground,
we caught momentary glimpse of a
building which we took to be the place
we sought. From our right, low, Boom

A Remarkable Operation Saved the

Chicago.-Seven year old Edward
Behringer, an orphan, was prevented

removed. The Behringer boys home

and placed in jail.
me robbed train is known as the
Early Bird. 1t left Kansas City OF .
o'clock Sunday and was due at Slater
at 1927 Monday morning. AT Slater
the rob.er, wearing a mask over MS
eyes, boarded the rear car as the
train was pulling out. After the train
had increased speed the man, revolver
in hand, entered the car and began
a systematic robbery of the passen-
gers. Fifteen Of them were made to
disgorge.
DISPATCHER Sees Him at Work.
AS the train passed through Glas-
cow, at which point it does not stop,
the man was seen at work by the sta
ton agent, who wired the chief dis
patcher Of the fact.
Armstrong, the next station east OF
Glasgow was notified and ofhcers
were at the station there to meet the
train when it pulled in. No stop is
made ordinarily at Armstrong, and
the robber, evidently satisfied in the
belief that he was secure for this rea-
son, suspected no harm when tnat
point was reached. When the train
stopped at Armstrong on orders and
the officers boarded it, they caught the
robber.
He was taken without serious diff
fculty, and uRder instructions of the
Kansas City office was taken back to
Glasgow and placed in Jail there.
The robber is five feet five inches in
height, weighs 1876 pounds and wore a
corduroy cap. He wore a mask that
covered his eyes. The robbed train
was in charge of Conductor Haywood,
and is one of the fastest on the Chi
cago & Alton. 1t runs through St
Louis and Chicago.

act duplication of that committed on

ored to escape him, but the attempt was
a hopeless failure. Five o'clock was
striking when he turned his face east

at the Travellers, in Pail Maitland,
with his most unwilling companion trot-
ting beside him, again advanced on Co

the University was situated.

visions of u ..i-lnons at Bow street and

But we were in luck. Mr.. ROLES had
retired to the Athenaeumfor his tea, and
in the assistant editor, who received us,
l recognized an old acquaintance. He
was clever young Scot named Raeburn,

The Human System
Must Adjust Itself
to Changing Tenn
peratureS.

er begins to change from warm to cold,
when cool nights succeed hot nights,
when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry
days, the human body must adjust
itself to this changed condition or per-
ish.
The perspiration incident to warm
weather has been checked. This de-
tains within the system poisonous ma
terials which have heretofore found es-
cape through the perspiration..
Most of the poisonous materials re-
tanned in the system by the checked
perspiration find their way out of the
body, If at all, through the kidneys.
This throws upon the kidneys extra
labor. They become charged and over
loaded with the poisonous excretory
materials. This has tendency to in
flame the kidneys, producing functional
diseases OF the kidneys and sometimes
Bright's disease.
Peruna acts upon the skin by stimu-
iating the emunctory glands and ducts,
thus preventing the detention of pois-
onous materials which should pass out.
Koruna lnvigorates the kidneys and en-
courages them to fulfill their function
In spite of the chills and discourage

After considerable negotiation and dis

were present. When the matter was
thoroughly discussed, it was found that
there was really no practical difference
between the citizens and the council,
and the matter was very quickly adjust

action of the council Monday night, it
