When the clothes came to Zudora she

She felt the crinkle of paper under her

The reaction caused her to break down

Hunt shrugged and gave the engi

about n quarter of mile Off the island
and rowed toward shore In the dinghy.
Zudora was always looking out of
the window, and when she espied the
dinghy and a moment later recognized
a familiar head she almost tainted with
Joy.

Mrs. Ramsey got together some Of

that his approach was seen and
Zudora and all things belonging
to her were nicely hidden out OF sight.
He returned to the city disconsolate.
He let work go and haunted the Office
of Hunt for the greater part of each
day. But Hunt was still In Africa or
was on the high seas.
And when Baird and Hunt did re-
turn, as recounted in the preceding
chapter, they learned that they had
been nicely fooled. Radcliffe had not
left Africa at all, but had decided to
remain at the mines until he had fully
recovered from his injuries in the
wreck. And n fine idea came into his
head while convalescing.
The idea was this: The man Hunt
was sailing close to the wind. He was
getting nearer and nearer. Why not
gather all the stones possible as a
move against Hunts winning out in
the last phase of the game? No half
dozen fine stones, but the last six

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

Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it often remains to irritate and intlame, 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 a scalding sensation and is very profuse: again. there Is difficulty in avoiding it.
 Bladder weakness. most folks call 1t, because they cant control urinas tion. While 1t is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, this is really one of the most simple ailments to overcome. Get about four ounces of lad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neu- tralize the acids in the urine so 1t no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which then act normally again.
 lad 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. lad Salts Is splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever.
 Here you have a pleasant, efferves- cent Whitewater drink, which quickly -euoves bladder trouble.-Ady.

Washington.-Pre Wilson re- jected the compromise ship bill evolv- ed by Democratic leaders of the house. He refused to agree to the activities of the government in the shipping business two years after the close of the war.
 Representing the president Post master General Burleson made coun- ter proposition to the leaders.

 Democrats who had been working at both ends of the Capitol to get the bill in form acceptable to both the Senate and the House before March were confident it could be passed if the amendment making it a temporary measure were attached. The counter proposal advanced by the postmaster general threw the whole proposition again in the region of uncertainty.
 Representative Kftchin, the house Democratic leader-elect, declared that he would not vote for the bill in the form proposed. but that he had no doubt it could pass the house. The Democrats who favored the temporary amendment feared resumption of the Republican filibuster were it not attached.

GERMANY WOULD
 HURT J. $. TRADE
GERMAN AMBASSADOR TELLS BRYAN AMERICA MAY LOOK
 FOR DAMAGING REPRlSAl.
WILHELMINA CASE CITED
Says United States Should Resist Eng. lands Effort to Hold Supplies
 From Civilians.

Washington.-Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, acting under instructions from the Berlin Foreign Office, called upon Secretary Bryan and delivered warning to the United States that if the British government does not permit the Wilhelmina with her cargo of foodstuff to go through to Germany, the German authorities will take steps in retaliation that may in directly prove dangerous to American shipping.
 Ambassador Bernstorff urged upon Secretary Bryan firmly and insistently that the United States does not acqui esce in any action by Great Britain designed to starve out the civil popu lation of Germany.
 With Germany's agreement that the cargo of the Wilhelmina should be dis tributed under American supervision, Ambassador Bernstorff said there would be no question of Germany's good faith, which he did not think Great Britain should question. But if Great Britain should persist in the de- termination to take the Wilhelmina and It's cargo into port and if the deci- sion of the prize court should be un- favorable, then Germany would be forced to reprisal.
 Any reprisal she might take to pre- vent the starvation of her civil popu- lation, the ambassador thought, would be fully justified.
 The ambassador made 1t clear that unless the United States did uphold the right of Germany to have the cargo distributed to her civil popula- tion under the guarantee given, the United States would make herself re- sponsible to an extent for such conse- Quences as might ensue through the acts of German reprisal.

BRITISH STEAMER
 HOSTS U. s. FLAG
PASSENGERS SAY FLAG WAS HOISTED AFTER ORDUNA
 LEFT LIVERPOOL.

New York.-Passengers on the Gu nard line British steamer Orduna, which arrived from England. said the steamer flew the American flag nearly twenty-fOur hours on January S1, while passing through the Irish Sea. The Stars and Stripes, they said. were hoisted about an hour after the Orduna left Liverpool and were not hauled down until next day
 The Orduna was scheduled to sail from Liverpool January 30, but did not depart until 1 30 o'clock the next morning. Passengers heard that the reason for the delay was that Ger man submarine was near. The Amer ican flag was raised. they said. short 1y after the Orduna cleared the Mer- sey. The steamship touched at Queenstown the same day and was flying the Stars and Stripes when she entered and left the harbor. they said.
 The explanation the passengers re- ceived from some of the Orduna's un- der officers was that the flag had been raised to protect the American citi- zens among the 240 passengers.
 Chas. P. Sumner. general agent of the Orduna, said he was under orders from the British admiralty not to talk. He also denied the Orduna had flown the American flag. except at her foremast, which. he explained, is cus- tOmary on all ShiDS tO indicate the country to which they are bound.
