.wILFUL MISSING"
BY Ernest H. Robinson.

The pleasant, acrid smoke Of the No
vember weed-burning rose into the
frost.touched air from a thousand
fields across the rolling sweep of the
Lancashire Moses. Down the long.
straight road young farmer stro-o
His head, covered with crisp brown
curls, rose from his shoulders like the
head Of a god. The ideal of success
full "small-holder," he seemed absolute.
" in tune with the happy, prosperous
landscape.
He entered the door Of tiny inn
that nestled on the sunny side of an
oak coppice an inn which indicated its
ancient allegiance to the Stanleys by
its timeworn sign of the Eagle and the
Child,
Evidently John Prescott was well
used to the place, for the neatly sand
ed floor, the almost purple blackness
Of the old oak bar and wainscoting,
the silvery sheen Of the century-old
pewter, provoked from him no glance
Of admiration. He walked straight to
tidily spread table by the brightly
glowing fire. and, though it was but
ten, seated himself to the second meal
of the day.
/ He turned expectantly towards the
door Of the parlor behind the bar, and
then by a movement in the room was
made aware that he was not alone. In
the corner fartherst from the fire sat a
stranger, his arme on the table his
face buried in his hands. Before him
stood an untouched mug of beer.
As Prescott looked, the stranger
raised his head and glared back with
Ishmaelitish eyes. His face was distort-
ed, horrible, SCARED and emaciated by
accident and privation; his hair, thin
and white, hung over his forehead and
mingled with his scanty brows; round
his chin and cheeks hung lank wisps
Of beard.
Poor devil! How terrible" thought
Prescott. "a wonder what's his age?
1t might be anything" Then the
tramp's face went back into his gnarl-
ed and twisted hands.

Nance stared at him in dumb won

suddenly she gripped his arm.
"John! No, no! You mustn't, you
mustn't go away! Suppose you were to
be killed-like Dick? Oh, couldn't
live to have such sorrow twice. John,
you have stolen my heart"
you love me, Nance"
For answer her slender arms were
round his neck, her fingers buried In
his hair, her lips raised to his. The
woman-love had conquered the girl
love.
Weak with sudden Joy, half under
stood, they held one another
tightly, lest their newly acquired pos
session should slip from them.
IA love you!" whispered the girl,
GREATNESS, with kisses.
A sudden sound, and they flung
themselves apart, staring with scared
eyes into the room.
The tramp stood swaying by his
table. He raised the mug tremblingly
and drank. The freight turned the
SOLDERING drops that rained from the
corners Of his mouth into the sem
blance Of gouts Of blood. He let the
mug fall with a crash, and staggered
out
"He could not get drunk on one mug
Of ale," John muttered.

generally is the result
In q recent interview, while intro
ducing his medicine in leading city,
Mr.. Cooper said: There is Just one
way, in my opinion. to maintain gem
eral health, and that is by building
up the digestive organs. The vast ma
jority of Americans today have weak,
fiabby. distended stomachs. This has
been caused by many generations of
overlooking and lack of exercise, un-
til today the entire civilized race is
affected. This is the true cause of most

the tent was packed with more than
five hundred spectators when the ac-

followed scores of women were tram

audience and of circus performers
prevented the injury of many more.
