there was nothing else left to do. 1t was
a fair fight. Two of the Kinnoull men

with deceptive mildness.
"Joe Flanagan's," explained. "Flan-

those who stay the first rattling of sod
upon a coffin.
Women were streaming down the gang
way as pressed up. Many of them were
crying behind handkerchiefs and wells, and
there were men, too, who passed down to
the shore with faces gray as the autumn
river, and eyes that looked hard, yet saw
nothing. People on the deck were saying
last good-bys. Often as have seen it all,
it never fails to make me little choky
in the throat.
consoled myself as pushed my way
among the sobbing, Misunderstanding groups,
with the reflection that there was, at all
events, nobody to cry over my departure.
And then an absurd vision came to me of
my father and James and Henry, all tall
and respectable and a little fat standing
out there on the landing-stage and calling
to me to come back Immediately with the
samples of yarn, while Aunt Sarah, pink
and roundabout shook dinner-napkin
at me, and told me that my soup was
growing cold and was disgrace to the
Corbet family.
"Hooray!' said irrelevantly, and dived
into the second-class companionway. A
steward looked at my ticket and let me
pass. l got into quiet cabin, closed the
door, and sat down upon the blue-quilted
bunk to await the sailing of the ship.
"Any more for the sho-ore?' sounded
out again; and stewards passed by in the
alleyway, ringing bells. Feet trampled
about; | could hear the gangway going
up, and by and by came the Empress's
last long call, fierce succession of whistle
blasts.
"She's off" l cried, bouncing on the
mattress of the bunk.
She was. In another moment or two,
the bit of landing-stage that was visible
through the port began to slip back and
away, and a lane of gray water opened
out. The Empress Of Singapore had
sailed; and l, who had never been any,
where except across to Antwerp or Brus-
sells, was off ITO parts unknown, via
Singapore"
7 HOPED-I almost prayed-that Vim
cent Gore would not want his valet be-
fore we were out of the river; and, for
tunately for me, my luck held. We got
clear of the Mersey and out to sea; and
the September day shut down to dark.
1t was blowing up by now. The cabin in
which l sat began to swing and curtsey,
and the bulkheads creaked as the great
ship leaned to the seas. BY and by she
began to. lift in earnest, and could hear
the waterfall crash of big waves on the
upper deck as she drove her nose into it,
storming down the Channel. We were

fore the bell had rung, a steward ran
down the alleyway past my door, yelling:
"Sterry Sterry! Here here's Cab

with its glitter of white paint and brass

"Do you want my answer to that propo-
sition?" said the seaman-valet, draining
his glass and setting it down. "Then you
can have it. My answer is, no. Why?
Because Red Bob is worth being valet to,
or bootblack either. Red Bob's man."
He added some confirmatory adjectives.
"And don't preepose to go back on him.
Not that don't want the cash, nor her.
But 60 back on Red Bob on't-not so

mark struck me as familiar. | sized up

eyes beneath penthouse brow, nose that

"You got one ear regulation pattern and

praising me now in his turn. "You look

NO FUNKHOUSER MEN APPEAR
TO BE WORKING
Just what is the matter, Major
FunkhOuser and Chief Gleason re-
fuse to tell, but the investigators from
the majors Office have not been out
for two days. Judge Hopkins atti-
tude toward the work of the Funk
hoUser men is supposed to be the
cause of the suspension of the Funk
houser squads.
Tuesday was the day Judge Hop
kins hit the morals squad hard with
some of his decisions on spending the
city's cash for the trapping of girls
of the street. That day there were
81 cases on the court sheet.
On the next, because the Funk
houser squads are supposed to have
stayed in on the night before, there
were only 20 cases called, many of
which were old ones.
Today there are only about a dozen
new cases in the morals court and
Funkhouser investigators are con-
spicuous by their absence. The major
refused to discuss the matter and the
chief said that it would be bad policy
to say whether or not the investi-
gators were working.
Mayor Harrison took a slam at
Judge Olson when the latter backed
up Judge Hopkins for his decisions in
the morals court. He said that the
judge was like a steamboat with an
8-pound boiler and a 16-pound
whistle.

of the New Love" religious cult were

Miss Tanners death, the coroner

George came to Alliance a year ago,

CARRY STOMACH JOY
IN YOUR VEST POCKET
This Dyspepsia Remedy That
They Guarantee It.

One of the greatest successes in the
sale Of medicine has been achieved by
Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia rem
edy, and its sale is increasing so
rapidly that Lee & Osgood Co., the
popular druggists, has hard work to
keep a stock on hand. 1t is very
popular with bankers, ministers, law
yers and others whose business or
profession keeps them closely con-
fined, while those who have brought
on indigestion through irregular eat
ing, worry or other causes, have found
relief in this reliable remedy.
Mi-o-na comes in tablet form and
is sold in g. metal box especially de-
signed for convenience in carrying the
medicine In the pocket or purse. It
is pleasant to take, gives quick relief
and should help any case, no matter
OF how long standing. This rem
edy has been so uniformly successful
that Lee & Osgood Co. will in future
sell Mi-o-na under a positive guaran-
tee to refund the money if it should
not prove entirely satisfactory. No
other dyspepsia medicine ever had a
large enough percentages of cures so
that it could be sold in this manner,
A guarantee like this speaks volumes
for the merit Of the remedy.
There is no time like the present
to do a thing that ought to be done.
II any one has dyspepsia, today is the
best time to begin curing it
