REITER HAS
GOOD RECORD

1t IL very noticeable that very few
appeals to the upper courts are being
taken from the decisions of Judge vir-
gil S Reiter of the Lake superior
court.
Bailiff John Agnew. who has been
attached to Reiter's court for the past
I'VE years. says that In all that time he
has been reversed only once.
On another occasion he finished the
trial of case that had been begun
By Judge Harry e. Tuthill. That is,
he refused motion for new trial In
the case.
The supreme court reversed him in
this. 1t Is said that Judge Reiter has
the best record of any Judge in the
state. One Judge down in Hunting
ton is said to have had nearly half OF
his cases reversed.

MORE ABOUT RHEUMATISM ALSO
RAp DIGESTION.

BAD DIGESTION.
What is the cause of rheumatism?
/ suppose there is no definite answer
to that question or at least answers
would differ. Probably more cases
are caused by bad digestion, resulting
in faulty metabulism than in any other
one cause. The great trouble is so
many people do not recognize their
weak digestion until much damage 10
done and even then many do not know
it, Often ask my patient: How is
your digestion? and he says: "Oh, my
stomach is all right, | can eat any
thing And right there is their
trouble. Just because they have no
pains in their stomach and can eat, il
never occurs to them that their di-
gestion is at fault and may be the
cause of other troubles of which they
are complaining. And so they go on
taking medines reputed to cure rheu-
matism and wonder why they get no
results. In treating any disease, the
cases are caused by faulty digestion.
At another time | shall have more to
say on the subject. In the meantime,
remember that / not only treat rheu-
matism, but do all kinds of ONCE
work, such as eye, ear, nose and throat

CHAPTER XIV.
The Moonllaht Niaht.


A few nights after this, there was
a full moon. Dominick, walking home
from the bank. saw 1t at the end of
the streets vista, large. yellowish-
pink disk floating up into the twilight.
The evening was warm, like the early
summer In other climates: and Dom

thought of evenings like this in the
past when he had been full of the
Joy of life and had gone forth in the
spirit of love and adventure.
The determination to accept his fate
which had been with him on his re-
turn from Antelope had of late been
shaken by STRINGS of rebellion. Up
lifted by the thought of his love for
a woman hopelessly removed from
him, but who would always be lode
star to worship reverently and to
guide him up difficult paths, he had
been able to face his domestic trag-
edy with the high resolution of the
martyr. But this exalted condition
was hard to maintain in the friction
of daily life with Berry.
Tonight, the period of Ill humor
seemed over. Berny was not only once
again her animated self, she was al.
most feverishly garrulous.

worse, OF arousing her suspicious

He did not come into the den i'm

parlor. down the passage. and into

steadily along the passageway.

She sat on the divan, a paper spread
before her face, but her eyes were
slanted sidewise, unblinking in the ab-
sorption of her attention. Suddenly
she heard rattling sound which she
knew to be from the canes and UNI
brellas in the hat-rack. She cast
away the paper, and. drawing herself
to the edge of the divan, peered down
the passage. Dominick was standing
by the hat-rack, his hat on the back
of his head, his hand feeling among
the canes.

CHAPTER XIII.
The Root of All Evil.

The conversation with her old friend
had upset Mrs. Ryan. These were
grievances she did not talk of to all
the world, and the luxury of such
plain speaking was paid for by a re-
awakened smart The numb ache of
a sorrow was always with her, but her
consciousness of it was dulled in the
diversion of every days occupations.
Bringing 1t to the surface this way
gave 1t a new vitality. and when the
conversation was over and the visitor
gone 1t refused to subside into its old
place.
She went slowly up stairs, hearing
. the low murmur of voices from the
sitting-room where Cornelia and Jack
Duffy were still secluded. Even the
thought of that satisfactorily-budd
romance did not cheer her as 1t had
done earlier In the day. AS she had
told Cannon, she was not the woman
she had been. Old age was coming on
her and with 1t softening of her iron
nature. She wanted her son, her Ben
jamin, dearly beloved with all the
forces Of her maturity as his father
had been with all the glow of her
youth.
In her own room she threw aside
the lace curtains, and looking out on
the splendor of the afternoon, deter
mined to seek cheer in the open air.
Like all Ca fornians she had be-
lief in the healing beneficence of air
and sunlight AS the sun had soothed
Berny of her sense of care SO now 1t
wooed her enemy also to seek solace
in its balm. She rang for the serv-
ant and ordered the carriage A few
minutes later. clad in rich enshrouding
black, she slowly made her way down
stairs and ou. to the sidewalk where

child's gay prattle causing no respon-

As he felt the vibration of the wheel
at his shoulder he started aside and
looked up. When he recognized his
mother his face Redeemed. and, with a
quick smile, he lifted his hat. Her

1t seemed to Dominick just then
that he could not lose her. She must
stay moment longer. Urgency that
was imploring was in his voice as
he said:
Don't go! don't go, Stay just one
moment longer! Can't you come
down and talk for a minute?"
She listened. wavered. and was won
over. Without answer she turned
from the shadow of the porch into the
light on the top of the steps, and
from there slowly descended, her
skirt gathered in one hand. and the
other touching the baluster.

CHAPTER xIIl-(con.lnued.)


Yet. to Berny. this hectic prospect
looked gray; all color seemed sucked
from it. 1t appeared pale and alien,
its comfortable intimacy gone. She
was like a stranger walking in
strange place, a forlorn, remote land.
where she felt miserable and home
sick. The sense of being dazed was
passing from her. Walking forward
with short, careful steps. she was
slowly coming to the meaning Of her
discovery-adjusting herself to 1t.
realizing its Significance. She had an
uncomfortable sensation Of not being
able to control the muscles round her
mouth. SO that II spoken to she would
have had difficulty in answering. and
would have been quite unable to
smile.
An open carriage passed her. and
she drew aside. then mechanically
looked after 1t as 1t rolled forward.
Where was a single figure in it-a
sman. Berny could see her head over
the lowered hood. and the little para
sol she held, white with a black lace
cover and having a joint in the handle.
Her eyes followed this receding head.
moving SO evenly against the back
ground of trees. 1t scared along with
out sinking or rising. with the even.
forward flight Of a bird. passed Han
nah and Josh and Hazel. turning to
drop on them quick looks. which
seemed. from its elevated position and
the shortness OF the inspection, to
have something of disdain In them.
As the carriage drew near Dominick,
who walked at the head Of the line
with Pearl by the hand, Berry saw the
head move. lean forward, and then, as
the vehicle overhauled and passed
the young man, turn at right angles
and bow to him. The wheel almost
brushed his shoulder. He drew back
from 1t with a start and lifted his hat.
Hazel. who was walking Just In front
of Berry. turned and projecting her
lips SO that they stood out from her
face in a red circle. hissed through
them:
"Old Lady Ryan!" and then in a
slightly louder key:
You take a hatchet and I'll take a
saw,
And well cut of the head of my
mother-in-law."
