OLD CONTRACTORS TO QUIT
English Company That Damned the
Nile to Retire From Business
Next Year.

The passing away of one of the
greatest contracting firms in the
world, John Arid & Co.. is announced
for next year. The firm, which
damned the Nile and carried out
other great works throughout the
world. will cease to exist next Sep
tember, by which time all outstand-
ing contracts will have been COM
pleted.
The decision to go out OF business
has been taken by the present Sir
John Aird. who succeeded his father
in 1911, and inherited from him
fortune of over $5.OOO.0oo. The rea-
son given is that. while the risks of
contracting are as great as they ever
were. the profits are not nearly so

thirty years ago. Great plants will

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Ruse.


When Rosalie Le Grange named the
Hotel Deidrich to the taxicab chauf-
feur, her object-she followed here but
an old instinct-was to cover her
tracks In case of many contingencies.
She dismissed the cab. however. at the
north door of the Deidrich, walked
through the lobby to the west en-
trance. walked out on Broadway,
walked a block south. There. spying
another taxicab whose meter displayed
the red sign vacant" she comman-
deered It. and announced her real OBJ
1ective.

straight ahead and talked in low un-
dertones to herself.

ship" in her days of active practice.
In these later days she was still wont
to argue out In soft phrases OF her
lips the problems of her soul. One
who had overheard these scattered
phrases now would have known that
she was still fighting for decision.
well, amt the world been good to
me lately?" she was saying as they
swept into the Park entrance. Cant
l afford to take a chance with myself
an happiness?" And then. "Oh.
how will Martin look at it-Martin!"
A little later. as the taxicab took
the rolling drive beside a park lake.
she was saying:
II couldn't bear It II he was sent to
the chair-I could never live through
It'd die. too." 1t seemed that upon
this statement she made her decision,
for she talked to herself no more un'
til the taxicab rolled up before the
Casino and stopped. And as she rose
her smile broke out for the first time
in that passage. But 1t was a grave
smile, whose softness did not reach
with the humor of God at the tragic
comedy in this world.

Uric Acid POISONING !?

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up In the
system is the cause of rheumatism,
that this uric acid poison is present in
the joints, muscles, or nerves. BY ex-
perimenting and analysis at the In
valids' Hotel and Surgical Institute I'm
Buffalo. n. Y. DR.. Pierce discovered a
combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric-which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and In this
way the pain. swelling and Infiamma-
ton subside. If you are a sufferer from
rheumatism. backache, pains here or
there, you can obtain Anuric at any
drug store and get relief from the
pains and ills brought about by uric
acid: or send Dr. Pierce 10c for trial
pkg. Anuric which you will find many
times more potent than lithia and
eliminates uric acid as hot water melts
sugar. A short trial will convince you.
