terry In which his mother was buried,
carrying with him beautiful wreath.
1t was a remarkable fact that this
was the first visit he had paid to her
grave. During the days of misery
and partial madness which followed
her death he never lost the delusion
that her spirit abided with him in the
poor dwelling they called home
Hence, the narrow resting place be-
meath the green turf in no way ap-
pealed to him. But now, that sue
cession of extraordinary external
events had restored the balance of
his mind, he realized that she was
really dead and buried: that what he
revered SIS her spirit was in truth a
fragrant memory; that he would be
nearest to her mortal remains when
standing in the remote corner of the
burial ground allotted to the poorest
of the poor-those removed by one
degree from pauperdom and a parish
grave.

1t happened. by mere chance, that
since Mrs. Anson's funeral no one

these for the purpose of erecting a
suitable monument.

for Destitute Boys. He you'd build
a place where those who were will
ing to work and learn would be given
chance and not driven. starving
and desperate, to pick up an existence
in the gutter.
He was too young to devise all the
details of such a splendid institution,
but he had got the idea and would
possess the money. He would leave
the practical part of the undertaking
to older heads.
The one essential feature was that
generations yet unborn should learn
to love and honor the name of Mary
Anson. Provided that were achieved,
he knew the work would be success

he had been entertained at dinner
occasionally by one of his wealthy
friends, but which was far removed
from the limit imposed on the pocket
of any man whose resources depended
on the exercise of an ordinary pro-

But Philip still figured in his mind
as ragged urchin. Not even the
skilled police magistrate could pic
ture him as the actual power OF mil
lions of pounds worth OF portable
property. Hence, the boys appear

Impressions soon yielded to positive
bewilderment when Philip began to
relate his story faithfully from be-
ginning to end, neither exaggeratfng
nor suppressing any salient detail
save the actual locality where his as
founding adventures found their CEN
ter and genesis.
TELLING HIS STORY
Mr.. Abingdon did not doubt for one
moment that the boy was telling the
truth. The romance OF his narrative
was far beyond fiction.
Philip himself grew enthusiastic az
he went on. His brown eyes blazed
again with the memory OF his wrath
and shame at the arrest. He told the
magistrate how the proceedings In
court had affected him. and gave q
vivid picture of his bargaining with
Isaacstein, the packing of the dia-
monds, the fight between the police
man and a burglar, his interviews
with all sorts and conditions OF meu
and the ruses he had adopted to pre-
serve his secret
At last he came to the transaction
which secured for him the ownership
OF the news itself. He read copies
of his letters to the solicitors. and
their replies. and then, of course, the
magistrate knew where the meteor

Acid Stonachs Are
Dangerous
Common Sense Advice by q Dfstin-

Acid stomachs are dangerous be-
cause acid irritates and fnfiames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing the proper
action of the stomach and leading to
probably nine-tenths of the cases of
stomach trouble from which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and medic
inal treatments are useless in such
cases, for they leave the source of the
trouble, the acid in the stomach. as
dangerous as ever. The acid must be
neutralized and its formation prevent
ed, and the best thing for this purpose
is a teaspoonful of bisurated magne-
STA, simple antacid, taken In a little
warm or cold water after eating.

but also prevents the fermentation
from which acidity is developed. Foods
