A trial package Of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills win be sent free TO anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD a
jefferson Sts, Philadelphia, Pa, If you aro
In need Of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Muiyon. Your communi-
cation VIII be treated ia strict confidence,
and your case wiz be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had a personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laXauves or catharucs. They
soak the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not gripo, they do not weaken. but they
DO start al the socretons Of the Liver
and stomach in a way that soCn puts
these organs in q healthy condition and
corrects constipation. in my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 26 feet Of human
bowels, which is really q sewer pipe
When this pipe becomes cloggcd the
whole system becomes poisoned, cauB-
Ing biliousness, indigestion and impuru
blood, which often produce rheumatisn
and kidney ailments No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
lilment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
I had my way ] would prohibit the sale
Of nine-tenths Of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms Of Indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse 10 act unless forced by strong
purgauyes.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are L tonis
10 the stomach, liver and nerves. They
lnvigorate instead Of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
Il; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.

THIEVES ACCOmPLCE

Six thieves and a mggpie have been
run in by the Paris police. The bird,
true TO IT'S instinct, was an active
member of the gang. It did not pur'
loin on its own account. but its help
was invaluable. The six thieves, all
under sixteen, chose simple-minded
tradesman and entered his shop. The
bird was perched on the wrist Of one
Of the boys. and did tricks, bowed,
danced and chartered. The ingenious
shopkeeper was amused. Suddenly
the magpie few up and perched near
the ceiling, out of reach. The boys
and the shoPkeeper started hU--.ng
for the bird-not all the boys, how
ever, for one Of them stopped behind,
near the till, and emptled It. A whis'
tie called the bird down, and bird
and boysh we're off with their booty
The game seems to have succeeded
upon only one trusting tradesman be
fore the gang, including the magpie,
was captured.

CHAPTER Xxx.

Breaking Out In New Place.
Hunger reused everybody early the
next morning, Friday. Leila Mercer
had discovered a box of bonbons that
she had forgotten, and we divided
them around. Aunt Selma asked for
the candied fruit and got it--quite a
third Of the box. We gathered in the
lower hall and on the stairs and nib
bled nauseating sweets while Mr.
HARRISON examined the telephone.
He did not glance in my direction.
Betty and Dal were helping him, and
he seemed very cheerful. Max sat
with me on the stairs. Mr.. HARRISON
had just unscrewed the telephone box
from the wall and was squirting into
at, when Bella came downstairs. Il
was her first appearance, but as she
was always late, nobody noticed.
When she stopped. Just above us on
the stairs, however, we looked up,
and she was holding to the rail and
trembling perceptibly.

CHAPTER XIX. (cOntlnued.)

playing the part of Mrs. Wilson!"
he repeated DO you mean--?"
Exactly. Playing the part She is
not Mrs. Wilson. 1t seems that that
honor belonged at one time to Miss
Knowles. / believe such things are
not unknown in New York. only why
in the name of sense does a man
want to divorce a woman and then
meet her at two o'clock in the morn
ing to kiss the place where his own
wedding ring used to rest?"
Jim fdgeted. Bella was having
spasms of mirth to herself, but the
HARRISON man did not smile. He
stood for moment looking at the
fire: Then he thrust his hands deep
into the pockets of his dressing gown
and stallled over to me. He did not
care that the others were watching
and listening.
rs 1t true?' he demanded, staring
down at me. you are not Mrs. Will
son? You are not married at all? All
that about being neglected-and
loathing him, and all that on the
roof-there was no foundation Of
truth?"
1 could only shake my head with
out looking up. There was no defense
to make. oh, deserved the scorn in
his voice
"They-they persuaded you. I sup
pose, and It was to help somebody? 1t
was not practical joker"
mo" l rallied a little spirit at
that. It had been anything but a
Joke.
He drew a long breath.
81 think I understand" he said
slowly, "but-you could have saved
me something. 1 must have given you
all great deal of amusement"
"Oh, no." protested. II want
to tell you"
But he deliberately left me and
went over to the door. There he
turned and looked down at Aunt Sc
lima. He was little white, but there
was no passion in his face
Thank you for telling me all this,
Miss Caruthers," he said easily. Now
that you and I know, Pm afraid the
others will miss their little diversion.
Good night"
Oh, it was all right for Jim to
laugh and say that he was only huffed
a little and would be over it by MORN
ing. l knew better. There was some
thing queer in his face as he went
out He did not even glance in my
direction. He had said very little, but
he had put me as effectually in the
wrong as if he had not kissed me-
deliberately kissed me-that very eve
ming, on the roof.
l did not go to sleep again. lay
wretchedly thinking things over and
trying to remember who Jezebel was,
and toward morning I distinctly heard
the knob of the door turn. / mis-
trusted my ears, however, and so
got up quietly and went over in the
darkness. There was no sound out
side, but when put my hand on the
knob felt 1t move under my fingers.
The counter pressure evidently alarm
ed whoever 1t was, for the knob was
released and nothing more happened.
But by this time anything SO uncom-
plicated as the fumbllng or a knob az
night had no power to disturb me.

version by sitting down suddenly on
the star Just above us. and burying
her face In her handkerchief.

"He-he doesn't want anything TO
eat, and his head aches. He-said for
me-to go away and let him diet"
Dal dropped the hammer immedl-
ately, and Lollie Mercer sat petrided,
with a bonbon halfway to her mouth
For, of course, It was unexpected,
finding sentiment OF any kind in
Bella. and none OF them knew about

hours Of the morning.

telling us all his symptoms?"
Bella put down her handkerchief
and got UP from her position on the
stairs she looked down on us with
something Of her old naughty manner

selves, all of you" she said cruelty.

AEROPLANIST'S AWFUL FALL

An astonishing escape from death
was that Of Charles r. Moreck who the
other day dropped 1000 feet in his
Reroplane, and yet received no injuries.
He was flying over the Hudson river,
md when 1000 feet above the water
the motor stopped Within sight of
thousands he plunged into the river.
In descending his aeroplane side
wiped the mast Of a schooner and sank
like a stone, carrying Moreck nearly to
the bottom before he released himself.
Although hindered by two pairs Of
heavy trousers and a sweater he came
to the surface and kept himself ahoat
until taken on board a passing launch

DETERMINED TO DIE

So determined was he to die, Nor
rfs Hayman, New York lawyer, ar
ranged four different ways to do so
in a room at hotel at Newark, N. J.,
the other Sunday. A gas tube had
fallen from his lips, piece Of rope
was drawn about his neck and there
was evidence Of poisoning in the
froth on his lips when he was found
unconscious by hotel attendant who
had smelled gas. A loaded revolver
iay nearby which he had evidently
provided as a last resort.

on, as he was blocking the entrance
and obscuring the view of the jewelry
store, conducted by Lew Strauss at
that place"
Investigation developed that the
Strass store is less than three feet in
width; in fact, the proprietor boasts
on sign over the door that the store
is the smallest in the world. A portly
person who weighed more than 300
pounds and who was unusually broad,
stopped in front of the little jewelry
store. He completely blocked the view
of the store to passersby, and refused
to move on when requested.
