IT'S THE FOOD.
The True Way to Correct Nervous
Troubles.

Nervous troubles are more often
caused by improper food and indiges-
ton than most people imagine. Even
doctors sometimes overlook this fact.
A man says:
Until two years ago Yaffies and
butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Finally
dyspepsia came on and found myself
in a bad condition, worse in the morn
ing than any other time. l would have
a full, sick feeling in my stomach.
with pains in my heart, sides and
head.
AT times I would have no appetite,
for days, then l would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when l did eat and so
nervous l felt like shrieking at the
top of my voice. / lost flesh badly and
hardly knew which way to turn until
one day l bought box of Grape-Nuts
food to see IL could eat that. l tried
it without telling the doctor, and liked
it fine; made me feel as If had some
thing to eat that was satisfying and

had felt after eating any other food.

Hicks started violently at this piece
of news.
II reckon he'll have to travel a
right smart distance to find pack OF

below Girard."
The Judge was lost In thought. He
permitted an interval Of silence to
elapse in which Hicks glance slid
round in furti*e circle.
when did Mr.. Ware set out for
Memphis?" asked the Judge at length.

"No-maybe you think these mig

uneasiness and the scowl.

"A mans got to be hog for work

sourly.
But It came to your notice that

murder? am interested in this point,
Mr.. Hicks, because your experience is
so entirely at variance with my own.
1t was my privilege to see and speak
with her yesterday afternoon; l was
profoundly impressed by her natural
ness and composure" The Judge
smiled, then he leaned forward across
the desk. What were you doing up
here early this morning-hasn't a hog
for work like you got any business OF
his own at that hour?" The judges
tone was suddenly offensive.
Look here, what right have you
got to try and pump me?" cried Hicks.
For no discernible reason Mr.. Cav

CHAPTER XIV.
Colonel Fentress.

The Judge had not forgotten hh
ghost, the ghost he had seen In Mr..
Saurs office that day he went to the
court house on business for Charley
Norton. Working or idling-principaL
ly the latter-drunk or sober-prin-
cipally the former-the ghost, other
wise Colonel Fentress, had preserved
a place in his thoughts, and now as
he moved stolidly up the drive toward
Fentress' big white house on the hill
with Mahaffy, Cavendish and Yancy
trailing in his wake, memories OF what
had once been living and vital crowd
ed in upon him. Some sense OF the
wreck that Uttered the long years, and
the shame of the open shame that had
swept away pride and self-respect.
came back to him out Of the past.
He only paused when he stood on
the portico before Fentress' open
door. He glanced about him at the
wide fields, bounded by the distant
timber lands that hid gloomy bottoms,
at the great log barns In the hollow to
his right; at the huddle OF white
washed cabins beyond; then with his
big fist he reached in and pounded on
the door. The blows echoed loudly
through the silent house, and an In
slant later Fentress' tall, spare figure
was seen advancing from the far end
of the hall.
who Is it," he asked.
Judge Price-Colonel Fentress,"
said the Judge.

Judge.

He thinks he hast" muttered the
Judge under his breath.
''Will you come in?" 1t was more
question than an invitation.
IF you are at liberty" The colonel
bowed. ALLOW me-" the judge con-
tinued. Colonel Fentress-Mr. Ma
haffy, Mr.. Yancy and Mr.. Cavendish.
Again the colonel bowed.
"Will you step into the libraryF
Very good" and the Judge followed
the colonel briskly down the ball.

her own cooking. washing, ironing,
sewing, brings up a family of boys

quickly. But l said she had been
actin like she was plumb distracted
ever since Charley Norton got shot"
"How?" inquired the judge, archins
his eyebrows. Hicks was plainly dis
turbed by the question.
Sort Of out of her head. Mr.. Ware
seen it, too"
He spoke of it?"
"Yes, sir; him and me discussed 1t
together"
The judge regarded Hicks long and
intently and In silence. His magniti-
cent mind was at work. If Betty had
been distraught he had not observed
any sign of 1t the previous day. II
Ware were better informed as to her
true mental state why had he chosen
this time to go to Memphis?

keep an eye on Miss Malroy while he
was away from homer" said the Judge.
Hicks, suspicious Of the drift OF his
questioning, made no answer. Il sup
pose you told the house servants to
keep her under observation" contin-
ued the judge.

Hicks, except to give 'em my or

CHAPTER XIII. lcontlnued.)

"And General Qutntard never saw
him-never manifested any interest
in him?" the words came slowly from
the judges lips; he seemed to gulp
down something that rose In his
throat. Poor little lad" he NUT
tered, and again, Poor little lad!"
Never once, sir He told the
slaves to keep him out of his sight.

he was some kin to the Quintards,
but we couldn't figure out how. The
old general never had but one child
and she had been dead TO years. The
child couldn't have been hers no-how."
Yancy paused.
The Judge drummed idly on the
desk
What implacable hate-what iron
pride!" he murmured, and swept his
hand across his eyes. Absorbed and
aloof. he was busy with his thoughts
that spanned the waste OF years
years that seemed to glide before him
In review, each bitter with its hideous
memories of shame and defeat. Then
from the smoke of these lost battles
emerged the lonely figure OF the child
as he had seen him that June night.
His ponderous arm stiffened where 1t
rested on the desk, he Strengthened up
in his chair and his face assumed Its
customary expression of battered dig
nifty while a smile at once wistful and
tender lowered about his lips.
"One other question" he said. I'm
til this man Murrell appeared you
had no trouble with Bladen? He was
content that you should keep the
child-your right to Hannibal was

Never, sir. All my troubles began

said the judge.

Yancy quietly.
The Judge grinned.

"Sir," said the judge, 'Ill hold your

Hicks had taken his time in re-
spending to the judges summons, but
now his step sounded in the hall and
throwing open the door he entered
the room. Whether consciously or
not he had acquired something Of that
surly, forbidding manner which was
characteristic Of his employer. A curt
