A physician says: Until last fall
used to eat meat for my breakfast and
suffered with indigestion until the
meat had passed from the stomach.
Last fall I began the use Of Grape
Nuts for breakfast and very soon
found l could do without meat, for my
body got all the nourishment neces-
sary from the Grape-Nuts and since
then l have not had any Indigestion
and am feeling better and have in-
creased in weight.
Since finding the benefit I derived
from Grape-Nuts have prescribed the
food for all my patients suffering from
indigestion or overlooking and also
for those recovering from disease

CHAPTER xxx.

AS time went on, however, if his I'M
easiness we're not sensibly dimin-
ished, nothing happened, the voyage
proving entirely uneventful; and
ORourke was forced to the conclusion
that, if Monsieur de Hyeres were real
ly the Vicomte des Trebes, he was
strangely content to play waiting
game.
The Irishman, however, had known
stranger things than that one man
should seem the counterpart of an
other And by nothing more than
this questionable accident Of resem-
blance did De Hyeres give him reason
to believe him anything but what he
claimed to be. The mans demeanor
was consistently discreet and self
contained; he moved about the ship
openly and without any apparent at
tempt to pry upon the doings OF the
adventurer, whom he fell into the
easy ship-board way of greeting ami
ably but coolly. Only in one instance,
indeed, did they exchange more than
but courteous salutations, and then
De Hyeres himself seemed to seek
the interview, approaching O'Rourke
directly.
This was at night, when O'Rourke
occupied chair on the leeward side
of the saloon deck consuming a medi-
tative after-dinner cigar. De Hyeres

glanced swiftly this way and that, and
sauntered toward the Irishman with
an unlighted cigarette held conspicu-
ously between his fingers.
O'Rourke likewise surveyed his sur
roundings in two brief glances: and
was contented to find that they were
alone, or as much alone as two can be
upon a steamship. For they were,
after ALL wN3; matched; and one of
them he knew to be armed. Shifting
in his chair so that his revolver lay

away an inch of ash and silently prof

The Frenchman accepted the cour-

cigarette, inhaled deeply and returned
the cigar with a formal phrase Of
thanks. He fingered for moment,

CHAPTER Xxx.

Toward the close of the following
day the Poonah dropped anchor in the
river roadstead off Rangoon; and with
in the ensuing hour her passengers
had deserted her, De Hyeres and Miss
Pynsent in their van, O'Rourke among
the last to leave. And nothing him
dered him, not the least hitch delayed
his Decentralization. 1t was curious,
it was incredible, it was disturbing.
He took away with him no ease of
mind whatever.
There were tikkagharries waiting,
and without breath's delay the ad-
venturer and his servant climbed into

veyed to the offices of Messrs. Sec

The gharriwallah indicated the Of

O'Rourke paid him and alighted, with
Danny at his heels and his heart try
ing to choke him. The hour Of full
filment was at haud-and all was
we'll! He who had faced death in
hundred shapes of terror, unflinching,
found himself in a fiutter OF nerves
that would have disgraced a school
girl
He lodged into the building, took
the steps three at stride and
suddenly found himself in the pres
ence of, more than that, closeted with
the man to meet whom he had crossed
half the world at peril of his life:
Mr.. Lansdowne Sypher.
Colonel O'Rourke?" Sypher's man
ner was very cordial. I'm glad to see
you. You are within your time, yet
had begun to despair of you. Be
seated" He indicated chair beside
his desk. And permit me; you OF
all men will appreciate the precau-
ton
He laughed and went to the win
dows, adjusting the wooden shades IN
such a manner that the light was
tempered and no portion of the room
could be visible to anyone spying

fumbling in his breast pocket. There

channels covering upon the solicitors
desk.
Sypher himself betrayed some evil
dences of nervousness as he sat for
ward and lifted the case by its leath-
ern thougs. He let it bangle before
him for an instant, watching it with a
curious, speculative smile. .
Well" he said, really !"

But it's no easy matter to avoid
meeting any particular person on a
ship with a small saloon list, unless
one is willing to be purposely rude

forever and day. You see, my only
living relative is an uncle, Mr.. Lans-

else to keep house for him"
"Lansdowne Sypher :"
The ejaculation sprang to O'Rourke's
lips before he could restrain it.
Yes. Do you know him? He's the
junior, you know, of the firm of Sec
retain and Sypher."
Solicitors, are they not? 6.
No; it's me misfortune not to know
your uncle But the name of his firm

The genial nature of the Irishman,
which had insensibly warmed to the
girls charm, withdrew abruptly, tor
toise-like, into shell Of reserve. The
element of coincidence had again en-
tered into his affairs, and he had
learned bitter lesson from experience

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mer So Pronounced That IL
Will Be Repeated.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part of July last summer will be
interested in the success of the baby
tent" scheme adopted in some or the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fiat roofs or
tall buildings and in open lots, with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent When all was ready mothers
of babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night so that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the prlvi-
lege of sleeping out of doors, could
also receive the attention OF trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have a perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton it greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
Of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably cool.
This is the way some Of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by any one who
had the welfare of the baby at heart,

Washington, July 27.-Democrats
and progressives united again in the

tached to the measure, also by the aid

income tax bill substituted for the tax

port many of the regular Republicans
and four emocrats-Ashurst Culber-
son. Hitchcock and MARITIME.
The Democratic majority stood all
most solidly against any change in the
house bill that would threaten its de-
feat. They declared the "tax on BUSH
ness was clearly constitutional, while
an income tax law had once been held
unconstitutional by the supreme court,
and might suffer that fate again, until
the states ratify tho amendment to the
federal constitution.
On the passage of the excise bill the
bills were supported bv the following

approval of that body and it is be-
iieved an agreement soon will be

MIR. and Mrs. Thomas Manville. Jr.

New York. July 27.-Unfalterina
love for his pretty chorus girl wife has
come very near costing 20 year ole
Thomas Manville, jr., his life
SLOWLY the young New York aristo-
crat, who a year ago was driven from
his fathers home for marrying Flor
ence Huber, chorus girl, is recover
ing from the effects of an operation
for appendicitis, against which his
system, weakened by unwonted priya-
ton, fought almost in vain. For days
pallid and emaciated. he lay in q
New York sanitarium struggling for
life, the while his wife, her pretty
eyes swollen with weeping, sat beside
his cot day and night bathing his
brow and doing all she could to re-
store him to health.
The story of how Manville and his
young wife were married in June.
1911, was well aired in the papers at
the time the event took place. The
courtship lasted but three days.
81 like your looks" he had told
Miss Huber.
And l like yours" she replied.
"All right said Manville. Sup
pose we go and see a show" They
went, and two days later were mar
ried.
Then followed more weddings. The
fact that Thomas was SO eager to be
more married was directly due to
the fact that his papa, 1.-THE asbestos

heir was about to we'd a show girl IN

Papa seemed to be very much OPP

girl, and as the son was not yet of
age he naturally feared that dad
would try to have the marriage ar
nulled.

And so it came about that when the
elder Manville returned from his wild

his son had been married to one girl

BLAzES A TRAIL
Roosevelt Hews Out a New
Path for Followers.
His Confession of Faith to Be
Made at Chicago.
HANDLES ECONOMIC PROBLEMS
FavOrS Fixing Minimum Wage
Scales for Women
And Guarantee of Eight Hour
Day for Men.
HANDLES ECONOMIC PROBLEMS

Oyster Bay, July 27.-The Con
fessions of Faith of Colonel Roose-
welt is now down in black and white
When he has completed the recita
of his doctrines in Chicago on the
night of August 5, he probably viii
be called socialistic, or anarchistic
and maybe both, he said. But he in
+ sisted that the measures he advocat-
/ ed must come.
They are corrective to Social
ism and an antidote to anarchy" he
declared.
Two more of the striking measures
favored by Colonel Roosevelt are the
fixing by law of minimum wage scales
for women workers and a guarantee
by law to workmen employed in what
he calls the continuous industry" of
eight-hour shifts and one days rest in
every seven.
Although Colonel Roosevelt has
taken unusual precautions to prevent
the contents of his speech from be-
coming known. prematurely, he gave
a glimpse behind the veil. He dealt
3 lmost entirely with broad economic
problems and gave the impression that
he will lay emphasis chiefly upon
subjects of this nature, which he says
both the Democratic and Republican
parties have ignored in their plat
forms, rather than upon matters
of partisan politics.
Colonel Roosevelt said at the outset
he had not wished at the present to
take up new things, but had come to
the conclusion that he must develop
some of his doctrines in his Chicago
speech and had gone farther than ever
before in advocating what might be
regarded by his opponents as radical
measures. He said he was curious to
see how his speech would be received
by the large business interests and re-
called the opposition stirred up among
business men by his speech in Column
bus, Ohio, last February, in which he
first advocated the recall of judicial
decisions. The things he now has to
say, he added, he hoped would not
brighten these men, for if they were
wise, he asserted, they would see that
he was acting in their interest. Bust
ness should be encouraged in every
legitimate way, he said. but at the
same time business prosperity should
be made the 'handmaiden of the
people," and the tendency should be
toward a diversification of the owner
which business has developed recently
as best illustrated by the formation of
huge corporations, should be recOg-
nized, he said, and the effort should
be to correct attendant evils rather
than to attempt to abolish large cor
porations or restrict their size.
1t was in this connection that he
said he favored the establishment of
minimum wage scales for women, and
he added that later it probably would
be necessary to make similar scales
for male workers. His proposal of
guarantee of six days work and eight
hour shifts be restricted to the con
tinuous industry like the steel mills,
in which work is kept up twenty-four
hours a day and seven days a week
