 "Confound it, Lias! Will you ever quit looking at me like that? There's something positively creepy fin that stare of yours!"
 "Lady to see you" repeated the clerk, shifting about uneasily and then glid- ing away to take his customary look at the long row of books in the wall cases. He had performed this act dozen times day for more than five years. The habit had become so strong that chains could not have restrained him. It was what he considered graceful way of dropping out of notice. at the same time giving the impression that he was constantly busy.
 "Are you MT. Bansemer? asked the woman with the babe in her arms as he crossed into the outer office.
 For moment Bansemer purposely remained absorbed in the contempla- tion of his finger nails; then he shot a sudden, comprehensive glance which tock in the young woman, her burden and all the supposed conditions. There was no doubt in his mind that here was another paternity case" as he catalogued them in his big black book.

 "Is this your baby?" asked Banse- ner, more interested. The word gov eruess appealed to him. It meant tina. she had to do with wealthy people aa least.
 s'No-that is-well, not exactly" she replied confusedly. The lawyer looked at her so sharply that she finched un. der his gaze. A kidnaper, thought he, with the quick cunning of one who deals in stratagems. Instinctively he looked about as If to make sure that there were no unnecessary witnesses to share the secret.
 Come into this room," said he sud. denly. Both of you. See that we are not disturbed" he added to broom "I think I can give you few min utes, madam. and perhaps some very good advice. Be seated" he went on. closing the door after them. His eyes rested on Droom's' face for an instant as the door closed, and he saw a par ticularly irritating grin struggling on hts thin lips. Now, what is it? Be as brief as possible. please. Pm in quite hurry"
 It occurred to him at this juncture that the young woman was not par. ticularly distressed. Instead. her rath. CT pretty face was full of eagerness, and there was a certain lightness in her manner that puzzled him for the moment Her companion was the elder of the two and quite as prepos- sessing. Both were neatly dressed. and both looked as though they were or had been breadwinners. If they had secret it was now quite evident to this sfrewd. quick thinker that it was not a dark one. In truth, he was beginning to feel that something mis- chievous lurked in the attitude of the two visitors. s

Constipation Caused
 By Indigestion
Is Cured By Helping the Stomach Do Its Work
 As It Should,

All forms of constipation, bowel or intestinal trouble owe most of their origin to the improper digestion ot food. The bowels measure 30 feet. The inside walls or surfaces are wound tightly about with millions of nerves These nerves give life and control mil lions of little mouths or suckers which are supposed to take nourishment from the food as it leaves the stomach and passes along this 30-foot human canal.
 When indigestion. dyspepsia or stom- ach trouble occurs, the food being ur- digested, passes over these millions cf mouths, it is & fermented decaying mass and holds no nourishment as 1t should.
 The little months suck it up, 1m- part these impurities to the blood, i'm pregnate the little nerves with poison and so the work of constipation and bowel trouble begins.
 natural juice or secretion belongs normally in the little cells and glands foot canal or bowel. When indiges- tion occurs this juice is lacking and So the mass of waste matter cannot pass along as it should and is piled up and caked in the bowel thus bringing pain and misery.
 centers which give vigor and life te) the bowel become paralyzed, thus for. ever prohibiting che bowel from per- forming it's natural duties.
 Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. when taken after meals, digests the food properly even though the stomach is sick and it passes to the bowels nour- ishment and juices, which help the in- testines not only to do their work al once, but builds them up, restores vi- tality to the nerves, brings new secre- tion to the glands and cells, helps bowel action and enriches the blood.
 The stomach is the cause. Commoil sense and science are one on this point You see it yourself One little grairl of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will per- fectly digest 5000 grains of food.

WGN1 long years naQ lAYNl passed since David and IHAl Frances Cable took their K D nasty departure, virtually
 fleeing from New York A---------- city, their migrations finally ending in that thriving western city-Denver. Then the grime of the engine was on Cables hands and deep beneath his skin: the roar of iron and ..ael and the rush of wind were ever in his ears, the quest of danger in his eye. but there were love. pride and a lew ambition in his heart Now, in 1898, David Cables hands were white and strong; the grime was gone; the engineers cap had given way to the silk tile of the magnate, and the shovel was a memory.
 But his case was not unique in that day and age of pluck and luck. Many another man had gone from the bottom to the top with the speed and security of the elevator car in the lofty sky scrapers. In the heartless revolution of few years be became the suc- cessor Of his western benefactor. The turn that had been kind to him was unkind to his friend and predecessor. The path that led upward for David Cable ran the other way for the train master. who years afterward died in his greasy overalls and the close fit- ting cap of an engineer. One night Cable read the news of the wreck '. .ith all the joy gone from his heart.
 From the cheap. squalid section of town known as Railroad End" Cables rising influence carried him to the we'll earned luxury. The lines of care and toil mellowed in the face of his pretty wife as the years rolled by. Her come ly figure shed the cheap raiment of hard old days and took on the plum- age of prosperity. Trouble, resent ment and worry disappeared as if by magic. smoothed out by the satiny touch of comforts fingers. She went upward much faster than her husband, for her ambitions were less exacting. She longed to shine socially. He loathed the thought of 1t. But Cable was proud of his wife. He enjoyed the transition that lifted her up with steady strength to the plane which fitted her best, as be regarded 1t. She had stuck by him nobly and uncom plainingly through the vicissitudes: Il delighted him to give her the pleas. ures.
 Frances Cable was proud, but she had not been too proud to stand beside the man with the greasy overalls and to bend her fine young strength to work In unison with his. Together. A facing the task, cheerfuIly they had Abattled and won.
