"Best is best, and best will ever

about Postum they are glad to give
testimony for the benefit of others.
A school teacher down in Miss. says:
II had been a coffee drinker since my
childhood, and the last few years 1t
had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become SO
nervous that could scarcely go
through with the days duties, and this
nervousness was often accompanied
by deep depression of spirits and heart
palpitation.

to struggle against crossness when in

CHAPTER xxvIII-contInued.


After the introduction to Johnson
his hand had gone mechanically to his
coat pocket. The demon at his ear
was whispering kill! kill!" and his
fingers sought and found the weapon.
While he was listening with the out
ward ear to Bainbridge's cheerful rem
iniscences, the little minutiae were ar.
ranging themselves; he saw where
Brofin would step, and was careful to
mark that none of the bystanders
would be In range. He would wait un-
til there could be no possibility Of
missing; then he would fire-from the
pocket.
It was Johnson who broke the spell.
While cambridge was insisting that
Griswold should come in and make
social third at the hotel dinner table,
the teller picked up his handbag and
mounted the steps Griswolds brain
fell into halves. With one of them he
was making excuses to the newspaper
man; with the other he saw Brofin
stop Johnson and draw him aside.
What the detective was saying was
only too plainly evident. Johnson
wheeled short to face the sidewalk
group, and Griswold could feel in ev-
cry fiber of him the searching scrutiny
to which he was being subjected.
When he stole a glance at the pair
on the porch, Johnson was shaking
his head slowly; and he did it again
after a second thoughtful stare. Girls
void, missing completely now what
Bainbridge was saying, overheard the
teller's low-toned rejoinder to the de-
tective's urgings: 'It's no use, Mr..
Brofin; I'd have to swear positively
to it, you know, and / couldn't do
that. No, don't want to
hear your corroborative evidence; it
might make me see a resemblance
where there is none. Wait until Mr..
Galbraith recovers; he's your man."
Griswold hardly knew how he made
shift to get away from cambridge
finally; but when it was done, and
he was crossing the little triangular
park which filed the angle between
the business squares and the lake.
fronting residence streets, he was
sweating profusely, and the departing
fear-mania was leaving him weak and
tremulous.
Passing the stone-basined fountain
in the middle of the park he stopped,
jerked the pistol from his pocket,
spilled the cartridges from its maga-
zine, and stopped to grope for loose
stone in the walk-border. With the
fountain base for an anvil and the loos'
ened border stone for hammer he
beat the weapon into shapeless inutili
ty and flung it away.
God knows whom l shall be tempt
ed to kill, next" he groaned; and the
trembling fit was still unnerving him
when he went on to keep the appoint.

Dust and Ashes.

A full moon, blood-red from the
smoke of forest fires far to the east
ward, was rising over the Wahaska
hills when Griswold unlatched the gate
of the Farnham inclosure and passed
quickly up the walk.
Since the summoning note had
stressed the urgencies, he was not sur
prised to find the writer Of it await
ing his coming on the vine-shadowed
porch. In his welcoming there was a
curious mingling of constraint and i'm
patience, and he was moved to marvel.
Miss Farnham's outlook upon life, the
point of view of the ideally we'll bal
anced, was uniformly poiseful and self
contained, and he was wondering If
some fresh ENHANCEMENT were threat
ening when she motioned him to a
seat and placed her own chair so that
the light from the sitting-room win
dows would leave her in the shadow.

There was a hesitant pause, ant

"Talking of scarecrows," he said,

what spirit of reckless bravado, be-
cause it was my home; and you made
the decision apparently without any
consideration for me; without any
thought of the embarrassments and
difficulties in which it might involve
me-"
Truly, the heavens had fallen and
the solid earth was reeling! Griswold
lay back in the deep lounging chair
and fought manfully to retain some
little hold upon the anchorings. Could
this be his ideal; the woman whom
he had set so high above all others in
the scale Of heroic faultlessness and
sublime devotion to principle? And
she was so much slave Of the con-
ventional as to be able to tell him
coldly that she had recognized him
again, and that her chief concern was
the embarrassment it was causing her
Before he could gather the words for
any adequate rejoinder, she was going
on pointedly:
You have done everything you
could to make the involvement com
plete. You have made friends of my
friends, and you came here as a friend
of my father. You have drawn Ed

of self-possession.

with his head down and his hands be-
hind him, when he collided violently
with Raymer going in the opposite d.
rection. The shock was so unexpected
that Griswold would have been
knocked down If the muscular young
iron founder had not caught him
promptly. At the saving instant came
mutual recognition.

Raymer looked away.
"I don't know Just how you'd like to

Nothing at all"-shortly.
"Well, it was Margery who wrought
the miracle, of course. l don't know
yet, just how she did it; but it was
done, and done right"
"And you have asked her to marry

"I don't understand it. Raymer. Was

turned the iron founder, with grav'
naivete "And, yes, l guess she mean
it. But that reminds me. She knew

At the next corner where there wa

grateful.

The swinging arc light suspended
above the street crossing sputtered
and died down to a dull red dot of in
candescence as Griswold returned
Margerys note to his pocket and
walked on.
There are crises in which the chief
contention looms so large as to leave
no room for the ordinary mental proc
esses. Griswold saw no significance
in the broken line Of Margery's mes
sage. The one tremendous revelation
the knowledge that the dross-creat-
ing curse had finally fallen upon the
woman whose convictions should have
saved her-was blotting out all the
subtler perceptive faculties; and for
the time the struggle with the sub
merging wave of disappointment and
disheartenment was bitter.
He was two squares beyond the
crossing of the broken-circuited arc
light, and was still following the curve
of the lakeside boulevard, when he
came to the surface of the submerg-
ing wave long enough to realize that
he had entered Jasper Grierson's por-
tion of the waterfront drive. The great
house, dark as to its westward gables
save for the lighted upper windows
marking the sick room and its ante
chamber, loomed in massive solidity
among it's sheltering oaks; and the
moon, which had now topped the hills
and the crimsoning smoke haze, was
bathing land and lakescape in Hood
of silver light, whitening the pale yel'
low sands of the beach and etching
fantastic leaf-traceries on the gravel
of the boulevard driveway.
There was no inclosing fence on the
Mereside border Of the boulevard, and
under the nearest of the lawn oaks
there were rustic park seats, Jaspei
Grierson's single concession to the
public when he had fought for ant
secured his property right-of-way
through to the lakes margin. Griswolc
turned aside and sat down on one ol
the benches. The disappointment wa!
growing less keen. He was beginning
to understand that he had made nj
allowance for the eternal feminine II
the idealized Fidelia-for the feminine
and the straitly human. But the dis

he might room and board until abso-
lutely sobered up and fit for work
again. The drunkard is taken into tho
club unconditionally. The club is non
sectarian and insists only that its
guests shall attend some church, no
matter what denomination, during
their stay at the club. Every married
guest is given week to sober up and
every single man two weeks. They
are required to go out every morning
in search of work and assist In keep
ing the clubhouse clean.

After they have been sobered up and
are able to go to work again, the tenn
porary guests are invited to enroll as
members, take part in the weekly busi-
ness meetings and pay such weekly
dues as they can afford for the main
tenance Of the club and its rescue
work. The dues vary according to
each members income, from FIVE
cents to 81 a week. Extra assessments
for the benefit of club members in dis
tress are also collected in varying vol

transient visitors and temporary
guests on its books, has never asked
for aid and has a deficit of only some

months to five years.
The club started with the idea Of
