Yes, 1t was just after he proposed to
me that Flanagan came to the door
and called Mr.. HARRISON out into the
hall
Mr.. HARRISON went out, muttering
something about a storm coming up,
and seeing that the tent was secure.
Betty Mercer went with him. She had
been at his heels all evening, and
called him "Tom" on every possible
occasion.
So Betty went with him. She wore
pale yellow dinner gown, with just

next day was Monday, that she had
only a weeks supply of clothing
with her, and that no policeman who
ever swung a mace should wash her

She paused a moment, but nobody
offered to do it. Anne was reading
De Maupassant under cover of a
table, and the rest pretended not to
hear. After a pause, Aunt Selma got
up heavily and went upstairs, coming
down soon after with a bundle COW
cred with a green shawl, and with a
white balbriggan stocking trailing
from an opening in 1t. She paused at
the library door, surveyed the in

A peculiar freak of nature was re-

led to a suspected murderer securing
his release. In the course of row

to the floor, afterward dying in hos

the capital charge, but was released

The symptoms of kidney trouble

no ground for doubt Sick kidneys
excrete thick, cloudy, offensive ur-

may occur and the victim is often
weighed down by feeling of Ian

warnings and there is danger of
dropsy, Bright's disease, or dia-
