advised inquiries: then his luck, such
as it was, led him on suspicion down
poorly lighted wharf, at the ex-
IRENE end Of which he discovered a
lonely young man perched atop pile,
hands in pockets. gaze turned to a
tide wherein, now black night had

just visibly beneath uneasy riding
lights.

thought possibly you might know
where could find seaworthy boat

The young man slipped smartly
down from his perch. IF you don't

charter the Seaventure." He waved
his hand toward a vessel moored
alongside the wharf: There she is,
and better boat you won't find any

to take Come aboard"
He led briskly across the wharf,
down a gangplank. then aft along the
deck to a companionway, by which the
two men gained a comfortable and
roomy cabin, bright with fresh white
enamel
Here the light of the cabin lamp re-
vealed to Alan's searching scrutiny a

THE LAW

1t was still very early when Curran
left the trail in the road back of his
cottage and came down past it to the
News shop. The housekeeper was not
about. He wondered at that; she must
be sleeping later than usual. In the
back yard was a heap of burned paper
ash that puzzled him, He came
through the shop, opened the front door
and looked out.
The quare was deserted. One or two
clerks were setting out the vegetable
crates and displays, but around the
hitching rail there was not a cam, MOI

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant els.

Those who are still young and ro-

that, as dropping water will wear q

heavy, greasy, rich food, finally cause

Fortunately many are thoughtful

Sometime ago I had a lot Of trou-
