morning after the dance in Grosvenor

"Abel," said I. 'that footman who

suppose, put his hand upon his pistol

wers which set every doubt about the
financial position of Kershaw Klein
at rest.
l did not hear more of Klein for
some fifteen days, at the end of which
time he wrote saying that Hermann
Rudisic was with him at Basingstoke;
and that they hoped to call upon me
on the following Friday. The march
of events was from that time quick.
On the Thursday / read in daily
paper of an accident In Berkshire to a
Chilian visitor, who had been thrown
from his carriage and seriously hurt
The account said that his }ife was
despaired of, and that he was then
lying at the house of his host, the we'll
known Colonel Kershaw Klein, who
had taken Lord Aberly's place, the
Woodfields. On the Friday morning
l received a long letter from the
colonel deploring the accident and the
delay, more especially because his
commission to purchase the stone ex-
tended only to the 10th of August, and
it was then the third. He hoped, how
ever, that matters would look bright
er at the end of that time; and would
bring his partner to London the mo-
ment he could travel.

telligence set all the inherent suspi-
cion, which is a part of me, at work

I sent him off with this to the SER

an indescribable sense of nervousness
had taken hold of me; and l found
myself peering into every cupboard
and Granny like an old woman look

either as dangerous as 1t could be,

The meal was an excellent one, ad-

daughter, who seemed to exert herself

promising me all the possibilities of

the colonel and myself with coffee
when she had gone; and after that

This was plainly from my friend of
Hyde Park; and I confess that his
pompous mysteriousness and pretence
of knowledge amused me. Even he no
longer complained of Colonel Klein's
reputation, nor advised me now to
avoid him. His letter finally quieted
my scruples, and from that moment
1 resolved to daily with them no long
er; and to let no silly fears delay the
negotiations for the sale of the treas
ure of White Creek.
In this resolution I waited rather
anxiously for the coming of Klein and
his partner. but three days went, and
saw nothing of them; it being on the
Monday morning at eleven O'Clock
that the former drove up to Bond
street in single brougham, and came
with his daughter into my private
office. He seemed in great state OF
distress, saying that Rudisic, although
better, was still unable to set foot
to the ground; and begging me as the
time was SO short to take the great
Jewel to Berkshire-his house was
just across the line dividing the coun
ty from Hampshire-and there to set
tie the matter that very day. l heard
him mechanically; my eyes glued on
the exquisite picture which his daugh
ter made.
"Come down to-day" said he, "and

doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own expe.
rience:
Il had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although I had palpitation of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as coffee.)
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee. using Postum instead, and
since that time l have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when l tried small
quantity of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me l must let
1t alone.
When we began using Postum 1t
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now we put little bit of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave of
coffee and drink Postum, In fact daily
