word of excuse for his favorite.
Each fresh reproach from the staff,
whose opinion was the only god he
knew, was a dagger thrust to Bou-
chard. At night he had lain awake
worrying about the leak; by day he
had sought to trace it, only to find
every clew leading back to the staff.
Now he was as confused in his shame
as a sensitive schoolboy. Vaguely,
in his distress. he heard Westerling
asking question, while he saw all
those eyes staring at him.
What information have we about
Engadir?"

mation?" pursued Westerling.

1--WE do seem to get little informa-
tion," said Westerling, looking hard
at Bouchard in silence-the COM
bined silence of the whole staff.
This public reproof could have but
one meaning. He should soon receive
a note which would thank him politely
for his services, in the stereotyped
phrases always used for the purpose,
before announcing his transfer to a
| less responsible post.
VERY little, sir!" Bouchard replied
| doggedly.
There is that we had from one of
our .aviators whose machine came
down in a smash just as he got over
our infantry positions on his return,

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER B0THERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu.
traIize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
infiame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina.
ton. While it is extremely annoying
anu sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
to overcome. Get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

CHAPTER XVII.
Thumbs Down for Bouchard.

Thumbs Down for Bouchard.
Haggard and at bay, Bouchard faced
the circle of frowns around the pol
ished expanse Of that precious heir
loom, the dining-room table Of the Gal
lands. The dreaded reckoning Of the
apprehensions which kept him rest
lessly awake at night had come at the
next staff council after the fall Of the
Twin Boulder Redoubt. With the last
approach to the main line Of defense
cleared, one chapter Of the war was
finished. But the officers did not man
ifest the citation that the occasion
called for, which is not saying that
they were discouraged. They had no
doubt that eventually the Grays would
dictate peace in the Browns capital.
Exactly stated, their MOOD was one of
repressed professional irritation, Not
until the third attempt was Twin Boul-
der Redoubt taken. AS far as results
were concerned, the nicely planned
first assault might have been a stroke
of strategy by the Browns to drive
the Grays into an impossible fire zone

his thin lips even less than usual, but
twisting them in a significant manner
as he gave his words rasping en-
phasis. The others fastened to follow
his lead with equal candor.
Exactly. We have no reports Of
their artillery strength, which we had
greatly underestimated." said the
chief Of artillery.
"Our maps Of their forts could not
be less correct if revealed to us for
purposes of deceit. Again and again
we have thought that we had them
SURPRISED, only to be surprised our
selves. In short, they know what we
are doing and we don't know what
they are doing!" said the tactical ex-
pert. ...
There the chief of the aerostatic d.
vision took the defensive.
"They certainly don't learn our plans
with their planes and dirigibles!" he
| declared theoretically.
Hardly, when we never see them
over our lines"

mean, those that return" he added
pungently.
"And few do return. My men are
not wanting in courage!" replied the
chief aerostatic officer. Immediately
we get over the Brown lines the
Browns, who keep cruising to and fro,
are on US like hawks. They risk any
thing to bring us down. When we de-
scend low we strike the fire of their

grimly to his point.

one began looking at Bouchard. IF tho

their opponents. If their losses for the
ground gained exceeded calculations,
then 1t vas good to have a scape-

Mrs. Carmac snapped that she did not
mean to trouble the police. The sooner

would be pleased. Then, apparently
ashamed of her petulance, she explained
the mystery of the opened lock.

Popple, here is the key you want leave
you to deal with the customs people. Well,
Mr.. Raymond, you have just returned
n,,ip I ho,
a cold journey?"
r AYMOND took the cue, and said
nothing more of the theft. When Pop
pie and the maid had gone he explained
that during the run to Quimperle he de-
cided that it would be more discreet to
telephone Duquesne than send Yvonnes
telegram. He was lucky in reaching his
friend without delay, and was thus able
to give him detailed instructions, includ-
ing full description of Madeleines APP
pearance. Duquesne had promised to
meet the train at the Care Saint Lazare.
In fact, he was so eager to serve that, fail
ing Madeleine's arrival at the expected
hour, he would meet the next train, and
the next. In any case he would telegraph
the result early in the morning.
Yvonne was more than ever grateful.
Mrs. Carmac was tired almost peevish;
so the girl did not remain much longer.
She agreed readily when Raymond
asked to be permitted to see her home and
did not demur on reaching the bridge at an
unexpected request that she should walk
with him little way down the road.
"The hour is not so late, he said defer
entially, "and | wish to lay before you
very serious matter. | may surprise you
greatly. l may even distress you. But
l do want you to believe, Miss Yvonne,
that in barring my heart to you am not
swayed by unworthy motives"
The girl was certainly astonished by
this portentous opening; but the secre-
tary's action with regard to Madeleine
had completely dissipated sense of re-
straint and dislike that she was usually
aware Of when in his company. Thinking
he had some news from Paris that he did
not wish to reveal in Mrs. Carmacs pres
ence, she fastened to assure him that

and think you will thank me afterward
no matter what view you take of what

some frightened child. My nature is a
cautious one, and shrink from even the
semblance of infictng pain. Such char
acteristics may be commendable in their
way; but they have their drawbacks in
case like this, when man who would
willingly undergo any suffering for your
sake is forced, against the grain, to utter
unpleasant truths.
VVONNE was more and more bewil-
dered She realized intuitively now
that he meant to discuss her mothers
affairs; so she strove to make him COM
prehend that he was treading on danger
Gus ground.
"lf you are referring, even Indirectly,
to Mrs. Carmac," she said frankly, Il

listen to anything concerning her. Until
she came to Pont Aven | was not even
aware that such relative as an aunt ex-
listed. When she leaves this place-though
| shall see her often, hope, in the future
the relations between us will be rather
those of good friends than of aunt and
niece. You ought to understand, then,
MIR. Raymond, that if your condolences
deal with her refuse to hear Them"
Raymond sighed heavily. He seemed
to be at loss for words. In reality
Yvonne had said exactly what he antici-
pated, and he counted on a well judged
delay as calculated to increase her agita-
ton and weaken her defenses.
please don't render an ungracious task

self to a supreme effort, when Yvonne,
after walking few PAGES in silence, was
about to tell him that she would go no
farther. IL meant to prepare you by
