Prescott dashed from the room. trac-
ing anxiety and urgency In the well
come summons that might mean some
thing helpful for Lydia
He found her distractedly pacing
the floor when he arrived at her home.
She was white to the lips and her
eyes bore the traces of a poorly sup
pressed anguish.

Gone? You mean" began Pres
colt in alarm.
Stolen, kidnapped, spirited away!
She was alone in The garden for an
hour playing with her dolls" narrated
Lydia. when | went to call her in
she had disappeared.
"But-kidnaped? Impossible!" cried
Prescott. "She must have wandered
away"
Il found this note on a garden
seat" proceeded Lydia. Read It,"
The crumpled scrawl was signed
with one name-Shaw-an 1t ran:
You will hear from me shortly. I'm.
less you agree to marry me you will
never see little Flora again."
"The scoundrel!" cried Prescott.
Il will set the police on his track at
once"
No! MOI" implored Lydia. You
do not know this man Shaw. II any
such an attempt is made, he will dis
appear, and Flora with him. Oh, try
and find her! Try and bring me back
my lost darling!"
Alvin Prescott had difficult task
before him. Shaw was not to be found
at any of his occasioned haunts. No
trace was discovered of the missing
child. The grief of Lydia was pitiable.
Prescott devoted all his time to the
mission in hand, but 1t was of no
avail.
1t was the fifth morning after the
disappearance of Flora, that, walking
along the street. he observed squat
oriental figure speed across the thor
oughfare to his side. 1t was Wang Fo.
Il find you!" he cried in extrava-
giant Joy. The pin-of the golden
bantam. You loser

Il have found her. You come-come,

With faint heart of hope Prescott
accompanied the half coherent, but in
tensely excited Wang Fo. He led him
to the Chinese quarter of the city,
and through sinuous and mysterious
passages into what seemed to be a
secret lodge room.
There on n dais, surrounded by
Chinese women, was Flora. She was
supremely contented, for they had
given her all kinds of quaint toys and
seemed only bent on entertaining her.
Wang Fo told his story. The child
had been brought to some avaricious
friends of his to hide or ship TO some
other city as the order might come
He, Wang Fo, had discovered the gol-
den bantam pin. He had removed
the child into the charge of more
trusty friends. He had guessed much.
1t led to seeking out Prescott.
They never heard of Shaw again

that the rescuer of the dear little one
should prevail upon sweet, loving
Lydia to give her a protector for
life?

FEED CHILDREN
On Properly Selected Food. Il Pays
Big Dividends.

II parents will give just little in
telligent thought to the feeding OF
their children the difference in the
health of the little folks will pay,
many times over, for the small trouble.
A mother writes: Our children are
all so much better and stronger than
they ever were before we made a
change in the character of the food.
We have quit using potatoes three
times a day with coffee and so much
meat.
Now we give the little folks some
fruit either fresh, stewed, or canned,
some Grape-Nuts with cream, occa.
sionally some soft boiled eggs, and
some Postum for breakfast and sup
per. Then for dinner they have some
meat and vegetables.
1T would be hard to fully describe
the change in the children, they have
grown so sturdy and strong, and we
attribute this change to the food ele-
ments that, ! understand, exist in
Grape-Nuts and Postum.
"A short time ago my baby was
teething and had great deal OF stom-
ach and bowel trouble. Nothing
seemed to agree with him until tried

Wang Fo, as he called himself, must
belong to some other secret society.

bantam pin would make me friends

What a sweet, cute little pin 1t is "

fancy work. See, Aunt Lydia-the
beautiful pin Mr.. Prescott has given
mel"
you are spelling the child, Mr.
Prescott" spoke Miss Ward, but with
an indulgent smile.
He did not reply, but his eyes met
her own with a rapt, longing express
sion. She read its meaning-love-
not only for the little one, but for her
self as well. He seemed about to
speak. The memory Of what had fol-
lowed an offer of marriage caused
Prescott to control his deep emotion.
Soon he left the house.
II was hard to be about daily in the
company of the woman he so devoted
ly loved and refrain from urging her
TO reconsider her decision. 1t had been
announced in kindly way, so consid-
erately, in fact, that Prescott half be-
lieved that but for circumstances
Lydia might have favored his plea.
An orphan herself, her life was
wrapped up in little Flora, who, hav-
ing lost both father and mother. was
cherished by Lydia as a responsibility
to whom she had devoted her life This
much she had told Prescott in answer
to his offer of marriage.
There was another suitor-Leslie
Shaw. Prescott had never liked him.
He was persistent in his attention
to Lydia. He was a man about town,
with unknown antecedents Prescott
had experienced relief and satisfaction
when servant of the house, with
whom he was fayorite, told him of
the summary dismissal of his rival.
It seemed that Shaw had impor-
tuned Lydia to accept him as her hus-
band She had given him the same
answer that Prescott had received:
Her life was bound up in little Flora.
The enraged Shaw had fiercely wished
the little one was dead. had let loose
his wicked temper In way that
shocked and disgusted Lydia. Then
Shaw had sworn that he would yet
win her as his wife, II IL took him
ten years to accomplish his purpose,
and had gone away in tempest of
wrath.
Lydia never gave any token of that
stormy interview. but Prescott was
we'll satisfied that she had a contempt
for Shaw. She feared him, too, Pres.
colt believed, and. while he was glad
that persistent rival was out of the
way, he kept himself on the alert to
guard against any attempt to annoy
Lydia on the part of Shaw.
One evening the telephone bell in
his room rang sharply. His name was
spoken breathlessly. and he thrilled |
and tingled as he recognized the tones
of the woman he loved.
