ing Off the growth" in your prescrip-
tion for curing warts:
I. There is no known depilatory

A. L. B.-Q-Can you give me a REM
edv for uric acid poisoning Of the sys-
tenn?
A-This Is a wrong diagnosis. Every
one has uric acid in the system. 1t Is a
foolish fallacy of old-fashioned doctors

will describe your symptoms shall be

burden on his back. and when he

my sick .'ervant.
Naturally I was amazed. and when
fell into step beside them / de-
mandcd why a man as sick as my
servant should be subjected TO the
hardship Of being jolted downstairs
and through the streets. The an
swer was characteristic. The pa
tient was going to church. Had he
been in a dying condition. still he
would have gone to the mosque on
tho Sabbath.
There was something simple and
sublime in the dependence of his
faith that was touching, and l am
forced to confess that his visit to
the mosque did him no harm. In

you, mustn't"
"Of course, l don't want to pry,'
said Raymer, loyal again.
Il can give you a hint, and that is
all. Don't you remember MY Lady
Jezebel,' the unsigned novel that made
such a hit last summer"
why, bless goodness, yes! Did he
write that?"
HE has never admitted it in so
many words. But I'll divide a little
secret with you. He has been reading
bits of his new book to me, and pshaW!

once if he could guess how much the
author of MY Lady Jezebel' had been
paid, and he said, with the most per-

"Tally!" said Raymer, laughing.
"Griswold has put an even ninety thou
sand into my little egg basket out at
the plant. But, of course you knew
that, everybody in Wahaska knows it
by this time"
Miss Grierson did not reply, and for
a little while they were both silent.
Then Raymer said:
Il wonder if McMurtry doesn't think
I've dropped out on him. l guess I'd
better go and see. Don't wait any
longer on my motions, unless you want
to, Miss Margery."
When Raymer had gone, the oppor-
tunity which Broffin had so lately
| craved was his Miss Grierson was
left alone on the big veranda, and he
had only to step out and confront her.
Instead, he got up quietly and went
back through the lobby with his head
down and his hands in his pockets,
and the surviving bit of the dead cigar
disappeared between his strong teeth
and became cud of chagrin. There
had been goal in sight, but Miss
Grierson had beat him to it.
And the winner of the small handi-
! cap? With deep breath-drawing that
was almost sob, Miss Grierson sprang
up, stole swift confirming glance at

stand with one arm around support

fought and won, and the friendly pill

CHAPTER XXI,
The Valley Of Dry Bones.

The Valley Of Dry Bones.
The cyclonic summer storm had
blown itself out, and the clouds were
beginning to break away in the west,
when Griswold, obeying Margery's
urging to go home and change his
clothes, turned his back upon Mereside
and his face toward future of thick
ening doubts and unnerving possible
ties.
GrisWold had not deceived himself,
nor had he allowed Margery's apparent
confinement to deceive him. The
old mans mind had not been wander
ing in the eye-opening moment of con-
seriousness regained. On the contrary,
what he had failed to do under ordi-
nary and conventional conditions had
become instantly possible when the
plunge into the dark shadow had
brushed away all the artificial becloud-
ings of the memory page. What action
he would take when he should recover
was as easy to pret1gure as it was, for
the present at least, matter negligi-
BILE. The dismaying thing was that the
broad earth seemed too narrow to hide
in; that invention itself became the
clumsiest of blunderers when it was
given the simple task Of losing sim
gle individual among the millions of
unrelated human atoms
Thus the threat of the peril which
might be called the physical. But be-
yond this there was another, and, for
man of temperament, still more
ominous foreshadowing of evil to
come. OF some subtle, deep-seated
change in himself he had long been
conscious. Again and again it had
manifested itself in those moments of
craven fear and ruthless, murderous
