Chamberlain paused and finished his
second pear. The man on the stone
was furtive and uneasy. but masked
his disquiet with the insolent sneering
manner that had often served him

ed the role of q garrulous travelling
salesman, followed It up with zest.
"Of course, man can get good
meal, for that matter. at the red
house. little way up yonder over
the hill. But it wouldn't suit man

The man on the stone slowly turn
ed toward Chamberlain, and at last
found voice for more than monosy-la-
bic utterances.
Il was looking for hotel" he said.

your advice. The Hillside, you say. Is

along the lower road.
"Yes." heartily assented Chamber

woods. and you won't make any mis-
take going there; it's a very good
place."
The man got up from the stone.
And the other inn you spoke Of
where is that?"
THE Red House? That's quite q
long piece up over the hill-this way.
Straight road; house stands near a
church: kept by country woman
named Sallie. But the Hillside's the
place for you; good style, everything
neat and handsome. And fine people!"

He slid one hand into q pocket, as
II to assure himself that he had not
been robbed by sleight-of-hand dur
ing the interview. and then started on
the road leading to the Hillside.
Chamberlain said Good day, sir,"
without expecting or getting an an
swer, and turned the hill toward the
village.
AS soon as he had dropped from

into the thick bushes that lined the
road, and from this ambush he took
a careful survey of the hill behind him.
Then he slowly and cautiously made
his way back through the underbrush
until he was again in sight Of the
cross roads. Here, concealed behind
a tree, he waited patiently some five
or ten minutes. At the end of that
time, Chamberlain's mild and kindly
face lighted up with unholy Joy. He
opened his mouth and emitted sound
less "haw-haw."
For there was his recent companion
also returning to the cross roads, TAX
ing discreet look In the direction OF
the village as he came along. Seeing
that the coast was clear, he turned
and went rapidly up the road tina,
led over the hill to the old red house
When Chamberlain saw that the
man was well on his way he stepped
into the road and solemnly danced

CHAPTER xlx.-continued.

It was not difficult to get on his
track, even though the village people
were constitutionally reluctant to let
any unnecessary information get away
from them. A mile or so farther up
the shore, beyond the road that ran
like a scar across the hill to the gran
ite quarry, Chamberlain came upon
a saloon masquerading as a grocery
store. A lodging house, a seaman's
bethel and the reading room were
grouped near by; the telegraph Office.

town; obviously for the convenience
of the operators of the granite quarry.
The settlement had the appearance Of
easy-going and pleasant industry Pc
culiar to places where handwork is
still the rule.
Chamberlain applied first at the gro.
Gerry store without getting satisfaction.
The foreign looking boy, who was the
only person visible, could give him no
Information about anything. But at
the reading room the erstwhile yacht
owner was known. Borrowing money
is sure method of impressing ones
personality.
The Frenchman had been in the
neighborhood two or three days, lat
terly becoming very impatient for q
reply to his New York telegram. A

for, was the opinion of the money
lender. This person, caretaker and Ii.

was grandiloquent, and it often took
long to reach the point. He informed
Chamberlain, with some circumlocu-
ton, that the Frenchman had been
extremely anxious over the telegram.
II tried to persuade him that 1t was
useless to be impatient over such
things" said he. "And regret to say
that the man allowed himself to be-
come profane."
Il dare say"
But it would appear that he has re-
ceived his telegram by this time," con.
tinued the youth, "for 1t is now but
short time since he was summoned to
the station"
Chamberlain, thinking that the SOON
er he got to the telegraph station the
better, was about to depart, when
the placid tones of the librarian again
casually broke the silence.
III I mistake not. the gentleman in
question is even now Fastening to-
ward the village" He waved a vague
hand toward the open door through
which, little distance away, a mans
figure could be seen.
why don't you run after him and
get your money!" asked Chamberlain;
but he didn't know the youth.
What good would that dot" was the
surprising question, which Chamber
lain could not answer.
But the Englishman acted on DIFF

BROOKV|LLE
SAID To Be
A SUFFERER

All efforts to confirm the report of
heavy loss of life in Brookville on
the Whitewater river south of Rich
mond, We're fruitless today, owing to
the fact that wires out of Richmond In
that direction are completely prostrat-
ed. An Indianapolis dispatch early
this morning says:
Heavy loss of life at Brookville was
reported in message received yester-
day afternoon by Ed Singer. a clerk
in the auditor of states office, from
the county assessor of Franklin CoUn-
ty. The message had been sent over
Connersville.
All communications with Brookville,
according to reports from Connersville
was broken off soon after the message
came to Mr.. Singer, and all efforts to
gain further information concerning
the loss of life reported in the meager
dispatch failed.
Mr.. Singer formerly lived at Brook
vile, and he was much concerned last
night about the safety of friends and
relatives. The message to Mr. Sting.

from Brookville obtainable last night

HEADACHY, CONsT|PATED, BILIOUS,
take DELICIOUS SYRUP OF FIGS
Removes the from the tongue, sweetens a sour,
gassy bilious stomach; ceanses your liver and
80 feet of bowels without grippe

That is all wrong. If you will take
teaspoonful of delicious Syrup Of Figs
tonight, you will never realize you
have taken anything until morning,
when all the poisonous matter, sour
bile and clogged up waste will be
moved on and out of your system,
thoroughly but .gertly-no gripping
no nausea-no weakness. Taking
Syrup of Figs is a real pleasure.
Don't think wou are drugging your
self; it is composed entirely of lus-
cious figs, SIENNA and aromatics, and
constant use cannot cause injury.
Ask your druggist for Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna," and look
for the name, California Fig Syrup
Company, on the label This is the
genuine-old reliable. ANY other Fig
Syrup offered as lust as good" should
be refused with contempt. Don't be
imposed upon.

If headachy, bilious, dizzy, tongue
coated, stomach sour and full of gas,
you belch undigested food and feel
sick and miserable, it means that your
liver is choked with sour bile and
your thirty feet of bowels are clogged
with effete waste matter not properly
carried Off Constipation is worse
than most folks believe. 1t means
that this waste matter in the thirty
feet of bowels decays into poisons,
gasses and acids and that these pois-
ons are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which should
suck only nourishment to sustain the
body.
Most people dread physic. They
think of castor oil, salts and cathartic
pills They shrink from the after
effects-so they postpone the dose
until they get sick; then they do this
liver and bowel cleansing in a heroic
way-they have a bowel washday-

ally too sticky. so insist upon getting
"Wyeth's" which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is the best remedy for

Folks like 'sWyeth's Sage and Sui

tell that you darkened your hair, as it
does it so naturally and evenly, SAYS
a we'll known downtown druggist. You
dampen a sponge or soft brush and
draw it through your hair. taking one
small strand at time. This requires
but few moments, by morning the
gray hair disappears and after another
application or two is restored to its
natural color and looks even more
beautiful and glossy than ever.
