CIeS, Relieving Backache
and Bladder Disorders.

If you suffer with backache--have
pains in the neck or sides-nervous or
dizzy spells-a few doses of Croxone
will relieve the congestion and you
will be surprised how quickly all kid
ney, bladder and rheumatic troubles
will disappear.
Croxone promptly relieves these dis
eases because it really does reach the
real cause. 1t soaks right into the
walls and Innings of the kidneys, cleans
out the stopped-up inactive organs,
neutralizes and dissolves the uric acid
and makes the kidneys sift from the
blood the waste and poisonous matter
that lodge in the joints and muscles
to scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matism. 1t soothes and heals the deli
cate Innings of the bladder and gives
the kidneys renewed strength SO they
can filter the blood and keep you well.
Croxone is different from all other.
remedies. 1t is SO prepared that it is
practically impossible to take it with
out results. An original package Of
Croxone costs but a trifie, and all
druggists are authorized to return the
purchase price if it should fail in

an INSCRIPTIONS scribble to do the
work he had engaged to do.
Duke Bellew, schemer and advsntur-
er, proceeded on his campaign. He
was a polished man in appearance, a
tasteful dresser and had the attrac-
tive smattering of the knowledge of
a shrewd man of the world. He made
large claims of valuable western in.
vestments and alluded often to his
literary income.
Naturally Bellew made an impress
sion, particularly on Elida's mother.
He was a specious rogue and within
week had captivated quite coterie
of fashionable friends. He met Alden
Hope at, social functions and was
friendly towards him in polite way
The latter, however, saw the trend of
affairs. He was poor, all his artistic
efforts were in their incipiency He
had painted picture of which Elida
was a model. 1t was called Sym
pathy," and was indeed tribute to
the warm helpful encouragement of
Elida herself. He had great hopes OF
the picture securing recognition at a
coming public art exhibition
Il rather like Mr.. Bellew," Mrs.
Tresham remarked to her daughter
one evening:
''He. is very .gentlemanly and con-
siderate," said Elida, but she evinced
no ardor In the reply. sN4
For, all that she was fully interested
and quite proud when in one of the
local papers an article appeared bear
ing the signatures of Duke Bellew
1t ,was~a. mastery effort, covering the
art of WARM Europe. In another pa
per two days later there was. publish
ed an exquisite little poem by the
same author.
Everybody was enchanted except Al
den Hope, The increased adulatien
of Bellew made him feel humble and
discouraged. He hadsloved Elida from
the first moment he saw her. Now he
realized how hopeless was that at
tachment He went no more to the
Tresham social functions
With a longing pain at heart he la
ter read "a published poem inscribed
to Elida by initials. Bellew was lay
ing close siege to the. heart of the
young heiress.
Elida missed Alden more than she
had fancied could be the case. There
was some sentiment naturally harmo-
NOUS between them. Despite her ad-
miration of the literary abilities Of
Bellew there seemed always some
vague barrier between them.
& Alden Hope never forgot one wet
chill evening when he passed In front
of the Tresham home, hungry at heart
yet torturing himself with the ardent
longing to catch glimpse of the be-
loved face of Elida.

brushes should be kept in an alright
closet containing a reservoir of 40
per cent. solution of formol, should be
dipped into boiling water before using
and washed every evening in ammonia
soap.
Doctor Fouquet would forbid BARRIERS
to strop razors on the palm of their
hands. He would also insist upon in
dividual utensils of all sorts for each
customer who has any contagious dis
ease.

granu reception was on. An EneIis
diplomat and literateur, one Norma,
Eccles, was to be presented by a 10
cal society ruler at the Tresham HON"
Shielding his face by drawing down
his hat and muffiing it in his coat col
lar, Alden gazed past the iron gates OF
the garden. He saw Elida whirling
in the giddy waltze, saw her with Bel.
lew, and. like forlorn waif shut out
of paradise, he stole away to his low.
ly studio.
Alden was little aware of the grand
climax to all the hopes of Beilew that
transpired within the following hour.
A stray remark concerning the writ.
ings of Mr. Eccles had led to Elida
referring with some appreciation to
home talent.
1--WE have also poet and author
within our modest circle, Mr.. Eccles,"
she remarked.
Indeed" spoke Mr.. Eccles.
81 have a scrap book with his "a!
gitive pieces in the library" explained
Elida and they strolled thither.
Mr.. Eccles gave great start of sur
prise as he looked over the drzen or
more poems and articles which Elida
had proudly preserved.
She noted his emotion and regarded
him questioningly, but he was toe
courteous to explain then and there
He smiled as he said:
miss Tresham, may | have the
pleasure of sending you my own little
volume of desultory writings?'
ooh, surely" she replied, and the
book arrived by messenger next morn
ing.
At II o'clock Duke Bellew called to
inquire after the lady of his choice.
He was not admitted. Instead, the
servant handed him the Eccles vol
ume, and looking 1t over he realized
that his imposture was ended
BY some strange coincidence the
fool of Roy Borden had copied his lit
erary selections from volume com
paratively unknown in America. Word
for word they Tailed to the original
work of the visiting foreigner.
Bellew vanished INFO obscurity
There were some embarrassed lights
of society at the discovery of the i'm
posture Then the thoughts of Elida
went back to Alden, Why had he not
called of late? She made some inquir-
les. It was to learn that he was lying
i'll with fever.
Elida and her mother visited the
home of the young artist. His mar
ried sister greeted them. Alden was
delirious and could see no one.
."And what joyful news awaits him!"
spoke the sister. "A letter came to-
day telling that his picture of Sym
pathy'' has won the Academy prize"
They showed him the letter two
days later when his fever had sub
sided. He was famous now, but it
was as nothing to him when Elida
came into the room with glowing eyes
to congratulate him
81 am so glad!" she said, her beau
tiful eyes close to his own"-oh, Al
den, get we'll for my sake!"
And her appreciation of his sterling
worth and sure affection showed In
her blushing face, and Alden Hope
knew that he was loved.
