CHAPTER v.
A Visit TO the Count.

- Nloll W lIlC SPbliN'
The bland serenity of Mr., Camp
bells face was disturbed by thin,
spdery lines Of perplexlty, and the
guileless blue eyes were vacant as he
stared at the top of his desk Mr..
Grimm was talking.
Prom the moment Miss Thorne
turned the corner | lost all trace OF
her." he said. EITHER she had an au'
tomobile in waiting, or else she was
lucky enough TO find one Immediately
she came out, She did not return to
the embassy ball last night-that
much is certain" He paused rehec'
lively, "She is q guest Of SeRorita
lnez Rodriguez at tho Venezuelan le-
cation" he added.
"Yes, know his chief nodded
81 didn't attempt TO see her there
last night for two reasons Mr'
Grimm continued. First, she can
have no possible knowledge OF the
fact that she is suspected, unless per-
haps the man who slammed the
door" He paused. Anyway she
will not attempt TO leave Washington;
am confident of that. Again, It didn't
seem wise to me to employ the ordi'
nary crude police methods in the case
that Is, so to the Venezuelan lega'
tion and pick up a row."
For q long time Campbell was ST.
lent; the perpleXod lines still furrowed
his benevolent forehead
"The president is very anxious that
we get TO facts in this reported Latin
alliance as soon as possible he said
at last, irrelevantly, "Ho mentioned
the matter last night, and he has
been keeping in constant communca'
ton with Gault in Lisbon who, how

Great care should be taken at the

Just merging into womanhood that the

At that age the structure is being

A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest. Address Professor Munyon, SD &
Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your commune
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods They do not scoilr, they do
not grippe. they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are 20 feet of human
bowels, which is really sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. II
l 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 to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.

Socially Launched.

In his native town Jimmy had al
ways been most popular with young
and old, but when he was sent away
to boarding school, he was for time
too homesick to make friends. His
first letter was little more than a
wall.
I'm way behind the other boys in
everything" he wrote, dolefully
"'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymna-
stun and banjos and everything,
don't believe they'll ever have much
use for me-"
But the second letter, written after
week in the new school, was quite
different in tone
I'm all right" he wrote to his
mother. "The boys say they'll teach
me all they know, for they're proud
to have me here. l can stretch my
mouth half an inch wider than any
other boy in school, and my feet are
the longest by full inch So you
needn't worry about me any more."-

When we speak facetiously of some
one for whom we have no reverence
as having Kicked the bucket" we
employ phrase that would seem to
be piece of latter-day slang, but, as
a matter of fact, it dates back to old
England. when, about the year 1925,
one Bolsover hung himself to beam
while standing on the bottom of a
bucket and then kicked the bucket
away. Although at first used only in
cases of suicide, it has been applied
in the course of years to any death,
without distinction.

Local Branch

Friday evening of last week Harvey
Dee Brown, state lecturer for the
Wisconsin tuberculosis Associa-
ton, gave an illustrated lecture in the
opera house to a good sized audience.
The latter part of the lecture was
along the line of properly ventilated
school rooms and what is called the
''out-door school" school room with
out walls. After the lecture, all who
would were invited to stay and form
an organization here to be a branch of
the state organization. Prof. E. G.
Gotham was appointed secretary of
the meeting and Dr. L. M. Landmark
was elected chairman. Mrs. j. w.
Carow, Miss Viola Wightman and Mr..
Gotham were appointed as commit
tee on bylaws and rules to govern a
local organization. The meeting was
then adjourned till Thursday evening,
Oct. II, at $3.50 in the 9Th grade school
building, to make more complete
organization, at which time all inter-
ested are most cordially invited and
requested to attend The cost per
member will be very small, while the
amount of good that will arise from a
live organization of this kind is certain
ly unlimited.
