 The story was told to Putnam resi- dents.

 Putnam, Conn.,, says: My kidneys bothered me for over seven years. My back was lame and I was unable to find a comfortable position in which to rest. Headaches bothered me and the kidney secretions caused me annoy ance. 1 was finally advised to try Doan's Kidney Pills and I procured a supply at Drcsser's Drug Store. A few doses brought relief, and continued taxing them until the pain in my back disappeared and my kidneys became normal. I have had no trouble since.

 "Mr. Blake took the telephone in. strument from my hands," pursued Mdfh. uuuteuiis, anu SpOke 1ntO II.
 Wanda turned slowly and gazed up on Blake in pleased amazement that he could have performed so sensation al a feat as Mark had Just described. Then she looked back at Mark as though unwilling to miss a single word of such an enthralling narrative.
 But" continued Mark, when he tried to speak to Jennings he found the connepion had suddenly been severed"
 "Oh!"
 There was a world of sympathetic regret in her exclamation.
 He was told" said Mark slowly. "he was told-by you, Miss Kelly that the line was out of order"
 "Oh, yes!" she cried brightly. And that must have been why tho connec- ton was cut off What a shame! Just when he wanted to talk, tool"

Preparino the Grill.


 In the dumb disappointment that fell over the group in Mark Robert sons library, the mems eyes gradually turned as by common consent upon Jim Blake. Unruffied, he stood there, master of them all and even master of himself.
 "Gentlemen," he drawled at last, we've got our work cut out for us. We've missed the morning papers. Now, it remains to get our story on the floor of the house tonight. To force adjournment. That will give us time."
 "But," objected Van Dyke, pointing to the duplicate telephone list, Eve can't get those numbers traced until name before we dare spread the story in the house. It was different with the newspapers. But"
 We shall get the Woman's name in the next hour," Blake assured him.

 There was knock at the door. Gregg answered it. Neligan entered all but showing Wanda Kelly in ahead of him.
 Here she is," he reported.
 Leaving her standing there, he turned and ostentatiously closed the door behind him.
 The girl looked about at the faces that confronted her on every side. Then she smiled. It was the peaceful smile of the kitten that has just emptied the cream jug. In her throat her heart was hammering to strangu- lation.
 Mark Robertson, from his place at the head of the table, was the first to speak His voice was quiet, his man. ner courteous.
 This is Miss Kelly?" he asked.
 Yes, sir," replied the ,demnre Wan da in her most respeetful-and unnat- ural-shop-girl accents.

 That's what we're going to find out. If 1t had been an accident, you would have showed the plug back into place, immediately, when we told you. Isn't that true?"

thousands OF these bricks They were cord

the pile noticed that white band had been

that it was to prevent the Indians from

Our ride over the Bolivian plateau was

The plateau is covered with stones 1t is
supposed to have been at one time vast
inland sea, and sea shells are often found
upon it. Professor Agassiz said that the
water level of the ancient Andean sea was
three or four hundred feet higher than the
present level of the plateau. If SO, it has all
disappeared, as today the only large bodies
OF water found there are in the lakes Tit

route was the one that took Is years ago,

the top OF the wagon that carried the Bo-

My journey this year was all the way in
a comfortable car, and the trip to Antofa-
gasta took only two days Our train had
Bolivian millonaires, English, Austrian and
American commercial travellers, miners of a
half dozen different nationalities, and a
number of tourists. We stopped for six
hours at Oruro and there got sleeping COM
partments for the rest of the journey. We
had dining cars on the trains and we trav-
eled in comparative ease
At the same time the fares were much
cheaper. Our sleeping berths cost us So a
night, and the first-class passenger fare was
about $24 with charge for our baggage of
about cents per pound. have a number
OF trunks and my extra baggage cost half as
much as the fare. The price for meals on
the diner was $1.50 gold, with an extra
charge for mineral water, which was about
twice what the same water would cost in the
United States
The first part of this trip was over the
high plateau of Bolivia This is semi
desert country about 500 miles long and of
varying width. Its only vegetation is half
starved grass and dry bushes, but it feeds
thousands of sheep, alpacas and llamas, and
we had animal life in sight almost all of the
way down to Oruro. Now and then we
passed village of Indians and always there
were the scattered huts of the Aymaras
spotting the plain The latter were round in
shape and many of them had roofs made of
mud bricks, symmetrically joined A single
family often had several of these round huts
and in addition corrals for livestock
At one OF the stations where we stopped
to get our dining car we saw great drove
of llamas. They had brought fuel to the
railway for shipment to La Paz and were
about to start back with merchandise for
their return trip to a town in the hills The
fuel was what | might call Bolivian cord
wood. 1t consisted of the limbs of stunted
evergreens, each as big around as your
finger. They had been grubbed from the
mountains and packed up in bundles about
three feet square and two feet in thickness.
Further down the road we saw great piles
of peat-moss, another fuel that grows in the
Andes The moss is of woody resnous
nature, and when lighted gives out a great
heat. 1t grows on the top of the ground in
disks ranging in size from the diameter of a
tin wash basin to that of tub.
All along the railroad we could see also
the piles of English or Australian coal used
by the engines This is in the shape of br-

The Antofagasta of the present shows the
hope of the future 1t grows like the thistles
on the mountain farms of Virginia, and to-
day looks more like an American town of
our arid southwest than anything have yet
seen in South America The houses are
mostly of wood, rooted with galvanized
iron. The streets are wide and many of
them unpaved. The population reminds
one of our frontier. The characteristic
sights of the Andes have disappeared. There
are no blanketed Indians and no llamas.
Wagons, carts and cabs have taken their
places. The town is cosmopolitan. You
hear every language spoken as you move
through the streets, and are jostled by Brit
ish and Germans, Austrians and French.
There is also large proportion of Chileans
The people are whites, and the red and
mixed races seem to be confined to the
Andes.
The harbor of Antofagasta is poor, but
1t is filled with shipping and the wharves
are piled high with goods. There are stacks
of Oregon pine, piles of bags of American
flour and cords of steel rails and structural
steel brought in by our steel trust The
place is the busiest of all the ports between
Valparaiso and Panama, and now that the

at profit and will soon be supplying the
