AN OLD NURSE
Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum.

An old faithful nurse and an exper-
fenced doctor, are pretty strong com
bination in favor of Postum, instead
of tea and coffee.
The doctor said:
Il began to drink Postum five years
ago on the advice of an old nurse.
During an unusually busy winter,
between coffee, tea and overwork,
became a victim of insomnia. In a
month after beginning Postum, in
place Of tea and coffee, / could eat
anything and sleep as soundly as a
baby.
In three months I had gained twen-
ty pounds in weight. | now use Pos

many patients, on my advice, have
adopted Postum as their regular bev-

that, as a refreshing, nourishing and
nerve-strengthening beverage, there is
nothing equal to Postum"

who's there?" he asked, imperious-
~ and with some show of anger.
No answer, but another quiet knock
Speak! or go away from my door.
No one has the right to intrude here.
What is your name and business?"
Continued nocking-nothing more.
With an outburst of wrath, which
made the hangar ring, Orlando lifted
his fist to answer this appeal in his
own fierce fashion from his own side
Of the door, but the impulse paused at
fulfillment, and he let his arm fall
again in a rush of self-hatred which
1t would have panied his worst en-

1t reached his side, the knock came
again.
It was too much. With an oath,
Orlando reached for his key. But be-
fore fitting it into the lock, he cast
look behind him. The car was in
plain sight, filling the central space
from floor to roof. A single glance
from a strangers eye, and it's princi-
pal secret would be a secret no longer.
He must not run such a risk Before
he answered this call, he must drop
the curtain he had rugged up against
such emergencies as these. He had

In no fury now, but with a vague
sense of portent which gave an as
pect of farewell to the one quick
glance he cast about the well-known
spot, he fitted the key in the lock,
and stood. ready to turn 1t.
Il ask you again your name and
business he shouted out in loud
command. Tell them or" He meant
to say, "or | do not turn this key"
But something withheld the threat
He knew that 1t would perish in tho

door now, response or no response
Speak" was the word with which he
finished his demand.
A final knock.
Pulling pistol from his pocket,
with his left hand, he turned the key
with his right.
The door remained unopened.
Stepping slowly back, he stared at
It's implanted boards for a moment,
then he spoke up quietly, almost cour-
teously:
Enter"
But the command passed unheeded:
the latch was not raised, and only the
slightest tap was heard.
With bound he reached forward
and pulled the door open. Then a
great silence fell upon him and a rig
idity as of the grave seized and stiff
tened his powerful frame.
The man confronting him from the
darkness was Sweetwater.
