A great many people imagine they
have heart trouble when the fact is that
the whole trouble lies in the stomach.
The pains in the side around the region
OF the heart are not necessarily heart
trouble. We suggest that you start
with the stomach and whenever you feel
a depression after eating or whenever
your food seems to nauseate take Kodol.
1t will not be very long until all these
heart palms, will disappear. Take
hodol nov and until you know you are
right again There isn't any doubt
about what it will do and you will find
the truth of this statement verified after
you have used Kodol for a few weeks.

When you think of Indigestion think
of Kodol, for it is without doubt the
only preparation that completely digests
all classes of food. And that is what
you need when you have indigestion or
stomach trouble-something that will
act promptly: something that will get
right at the trouble and do the very
work itself for the stomach by digesting
the food that you eat and that is Kodol.

the stuffy little restaurant made his
head ache.
When he looked up to give his order
the new waitress smiled and in reply
to his question said:
"Patsy's gone, and I've taken her
place. l hope I'll suit you"
Montrous thought the name better
than Patsy, and the face and figure
fitted it admirably. Tess-Tess Bar
rington! 1t sounded good, and the eyes
were wondrously liquid and brown.
The dinner hour was an oasis in the
desert of work and worry. Montrous
began to drop in earlier to avoid the
monday rush. Once when the table
presided over by Tess vas crowded he
unwillingly took his place at another.
AS the days and weeks passed the new
waitress looked tagged. in common
with the rest.
when do you take your vacation?"
he asked n day.
II don't think I'll take any," she said,
with a sad smile. 'It costs too much"
Montrous understood. A vacation
without wages would be a ioyless af-
fair.
II suppose you take yours soon?''
she murmured.
mo; not this year," he blurted out.
Il can't-not until my patent comes
out"
This was the first time he had spoken
to a stranger about his patent, and he
wondered at his words. But he con.
tinued:
"You see, Pm poor and must make
this patent go. It's a great one, but
they don't see it that way, or want to
buy it outright for a mere song. But
I'll starve before they get it that way"
The subtle power which had induced
him to reveal this much of his inner
life to Tess could not be explained. He
was no psychologist. He had no time
to take an inventory of his emotions. A
week passed without further reference
to his work. Then one day she asked
half apologetically:
"Can / see the patent?"
"Sure! But it may not interest you.
It's all about-about making tin cans"
He laughed at the crude description
and then added:
Its a machine that will save thou
Sands-millionS-to manufacturers of
tin cans. I'll bring 1t around if you'll
let me-"
Montrous made the patent an excuse
for calling often.
zone concern offered me five hun
dred for it," he exclaimed scornfully.
'Think of It! Five hundred for two
years work."
In the middle Of the summer he
beamed into the restaurant on a very
hot day and whispered softly:
"What do you think, Tess? I've got
a raise. The great Consolidated Tin
Can company offered me $1,000 today
for the PATENT"
She was tired with the days unre-
hitting work, and the lines on her
face were drawn, but she frightened

and this-this"-
His voice trailed off, and he added,
reading the card:
Miss Morley"
He turned it over and gazed at the
back, then looked at the handwriting
on the unopened letter.
Miss Morley" he read again.
Tess could stand it no longer. She
held out a hand for her property. He
watched her. a cynical smile slowly
framing itself on his lips.
you're not Tess-Tess Darlington"
he went on, returning the card and let
ter. tits a little game of deceit you've
been playing. Miss Morley! And old
John Morley is the president Of the
Consolidated Tin Can company! 1t is
quite a coincidence!!"
His laugh was mirthless and harsh,
something like a sheer curling his lips.
She WINGED under it, but a moment
later she turned impulsively toward
him and explained:
II did not intend to deceive you. IL
was there in the restaurant for-for the
experience. l wanted to see for myself
how others lived. l did not want to
give to charity Unfortunately. and"-
He interrupted sharply:
"Cbarity! Oh. yes. it was charity to-
She stopped him with an imperious
look. The shame mounted to his fore
head.
"No, l didn't mean that" he apollo
gized. But l must have the contract
Cancelled. I could not accept the royal
ties on the patent in that way"
She watched him with a dumb look
of pain on her face. When she held
out her hands. he did not see them.
His eyes were bright with a new deter
mination.
You do not wish to offend me-" she
began slowly. "I-after all, our friend
ship and what has happened. should a
small thing like this stand between
us?"
ut is what has happened between us
that makes this impossible, Tess" he
replied, smiling as he emphasized the
old name which had grown so dear to
him. 81 knew Tess Darlington. l do
not know Miss Morley"

in his heart, it was now forever sup

The saucy eyes and smiling face were
close to his. He held his breath and
cl1nched his teeth, then slowly shook
his head. He replied with evident eff

Then the absurdity Of it made him

friendless waitress have with one of
the wealthiest corporations Of the

looked to her for an explanation.
She stood lear him with half averted

its delicate outline and suggestive

wandered back to the table from which
he had picked the document. There
were other papers loosened from the

and card attracted his gaze. He dwelt
