preceded it and more marked by ac-

hotel Leaning on the balcony he sees

elevator and passes from sight. AT the
gaming table O'ROurke notices two men
watching him. One is the Hon. BERTHE
Glynn, while his companion is Viscount
Des Trebes. duelist The viscount tells
him the French government has directed
him to O'ROurke as a man who would
undertake a secret mission. At his apart
ment O'Rourke. who had agreed to I'M

sealed package to O'Rourke. who is not

he loved it. He had fought over 1t

When to Call the Doctor.

When to summon the doctor is a
point which has probably puzzled most
people at one time or another, but in
the case of throat and intestinal
troubles there should be no uncertain
ty, says a medical authority. The doc
tor should be summoned at once, for
the sore throat may be diphtheria, and
the intestinal symptoms may mean
peritonitis, appendicitis CT any one Of
a dozen complications of serious char
acter. Valuable time and the golden
opportunity may be wasted by wait
ing for symptoms that are severe
enough to justify calling the doctor.

turbed by one or two absurdly grave

appropriate monotones, the mechani-

down the car, then deity swung it
