also leaned against one with the

for a home run had the umpire not
been mistaken in where the ball hit
the ground. As it was he was only
lllowed two bases.

 You eat food to keep yourself alive. When you put food into a healthy stomach it is the duty of that stomach to extract from the food all of its nu e tritious matter.
 This nutritious matter is passed along to the blood, and iu turn is carried to and supplies life to every part of the body.
 If your stomach is upset it does not extract enough nourishment to SUI ply the wants of the body, and naturally disease develops wherever the body is weakest. ...
 Stomach trouble or indigestion causes dizziness, biliousness, nervous. ness, weak eyes, sick headaches, sleep lessness. nj tmare, waterbrash, bslohing of sour food, foul breath, dependency, constipation and even loss of energy and memory.
 For any stomach trouble, no matter how bad, finders Jacobsen sells and guarantees Mi-o.na stomach tablets to give quick relief and permanent cure, or money back. ... .- -.. ...
 A large box costs but 50 cents at Anders Jacobsen's and druggists everywhere. They are small and easily swallowed, used regularly they will surely cure indigestion.

 As he got out of the elevator he was met by Vavin entering the apartment.
 "How goes the play. my young con- frere?" asked the Frenchman cheerily.
 ''It doesn't go." replied Holcomb bit terly. "It's bad enough to have to fight all the theatrical business to get start in this town. but then to have to fight the girl that one loves, her family and her friends!'
 You at least take it with humor," said Vavin
 The young man briefly explained to him the situation.
 Vavin had been away featuring, but had come back with the intention of seeing the opening production and DOra's appearance as star.
 "I was going to call on her." he said, "and my call will be decidedly oppor- tune"
 You are veritable deus ex machi- na," said the young man gratefully after the Frenchman had promised to let him know at his hotel the result of his interview. al. .. .....
 If his presence was welcome to HoI- comb the appearance of Vavin was more than soothing to the troubled Dora. Judge Elliott had been invited to breakfast, and Vavin was shown into the dining room and asked to join them.
 Rather late breakfast for Ameri- cans," said the Frenchman, who had decided that for the time being he would conceal the fact that he had met HOlcomb. "We went to fierce old dress re- hearsal last night" exclaimed Graham, "and we're all little bit on the bum," availing himself of a part of his va- cabulary of slang.
