Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man and woman, half the
time, feeling nervous. Respondent,
worried; some days headachy, dull and
unstrung; some days really incapaci-
tated by illness.
If we all would practice inside-bath-
ing, what gratifying change would
take place. Instead of thousands Of
naf-sick, manufacturing souls with
pasty, muddy compilations we should
see crowds of happy, healthy, rosy
checked people everywhere. The rea-
sen is that the human system does not
rid itself each day of all the waste
which IL accumulates under our pres
ent mode Of living. For every ounce
OF food and drink taken into the system
nearly an ounce Of waste material
must be carried out, else It ferments
and forms ptomaine-like poisons which
are absorbed into the blood.
Just as necessary as IL Is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day,
before the fire will burn bright and
hot, so We must each morning clear
the inside organs of the previous days
accumulation Of indigestible waste and
body toxins. Men and women, whethe.
sick or well, are advised to drink each
morning, before breakfast, q glass of
real hot water with a teaspoonful of
limestone phosphate In II, as a harm
less means OF washing out of the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
indigestible material, waste, sour bile
and toxins; thus cleansing, sweeten-
ing and purifying the entire alimen-
tary canal before putting more food
into the stomach.
Millions of people who had their turn
at constipation. bilious attacks, acid
stomach. nervous days and sleepl9ss
nights have become real cranks about
the morning inside-bath. A quarter
pound of limestone phosphate will not
cost much at the drug store, but is
sufficient TO demonstrate to anyone,

The three women strolled away.
Yama, as they left him, set to work
with a will to get the luncheon ready
within the brief five minutes allotted
him.
AS the Jap was not gifted with eyes
in his back, he did not see a frowsy
head emerge from a cave-mouth in the
lower part of the bluff, few yards
behind him.
Sam Eagan had tried to sleep his
hunger away. until such time as il
might be safe to venture out on the
open beach without fear of meeting
the police. Suddenly his nostrils had
been tickled by the smell of food
Then, at once, his whole starved sys-
tenn clamored ravenously for some
thing to eat. His craving for food had
redoubled since morning Now IL
drove away caution and common sense.
He must eat, though he go to prison
for life, in payment for his meal.
Eagan thrust out his head from the
cave. He saw Mrs. Travis walking
away with June and Mary. He saw

While Boyle was seeking to get ia
cobs out of the burning shack, she
was speeding along the sand toward
the rock where she had left Lamar
and Mary.
Gordon, too, had profited nightly
by her delay. From the rocks he
made his way to the highroad that
led from Surfton to the city. An auto
truck, city-bound, chugged past, just
as he reached the road. With a 1.-the
spring, he swung himself up TO a
precarious seat at its tailboard.
AS she ran, June looked backward.
The shack was pillar of flame.
Presently, as she rounded the point,
she dropped to a sedate walk. Mary
and Lamar were coming forward from
the rock, to meet her. She forced her
labored breathing into some sort of
regularity and answered the eager
question in their eyes by calling out
to them:
II was too late. He had gotten
away. But l saw the detectives going
toward the shack. II seemed to be on
fre-or-or something"

Just below him dapper little Jap en-
gagged In setting a picnic table. He
saw-heavenly sight!-a great basket
of food Just behind the busy Jap.
No hale man who has gone hungry
for thirty hours will blame the fugitive
for laying aside his armor of prudence
at sight and smell OF the feast that
filled the big lunch basket.
Noiselessly he crept from his hid
ing place. On tiptoe he made his
way toward the table. Yama was
STOPPING forward, arranging handful
OF silver at one of the three plates.
Sam leaned over him, and with light
ming motion caught up the edges OF
the tablecloth and swathed the Japs

Knotting the cloth-ends firmly be-
hind the back of the squealing and
vainly struggling little butler Sam
made rush for the food basket,
snatched- 1t up and bounded lumber
ingly off among the rocks, seeking q
safe place where he might hide and
devour his fragrant prize.
Eagan had sense enough not to go
back to his cave with his plumber.
That was much too near the scene of
his theft. Possible searchers would
see the cavern-mouth and explore 1t.
He must get far enough away to
dodge pursuit, before settling down
to the delights of his stolen banquet.
Ahead of him was a hillock made
up Of broken powders In whose inches
a man could elude whole Gordon of
police. And toward this hillock, Eagan
ran.
His way took him along a rocky
bit of beach, where he most needs
jump from stone to stone. The tide
was in. The water swirled thirstily
among the rocks as he rushed on
ward.
He came TO a place where he could
not stride from bowlder to bowlder to

Yama, meantime, had at last freed

Of it from his head and face, just as
the three women returned. Loudly
and dramatically; he told them what
had befallen him. And, at discovery

Left alone, June and Mary stared
at each other in dumb establishment.
Then, all at once, the funny side of
the mishap struck June. She threw
back her head and laughed.
The daring cleverness of the thief
appealed to the newly awakened
criminality in her nature. And. as
she laughed, the Red Circle began
to throb and glow on the back of her
hand
Sam Eagan, having crawled as near
as he dared. to the spot where he
still hoped to find food, caught sight
of June and heard her gay laughter.
He paused. hesitant. behind a rock,
debating whether or not it would be
safe to come out and throw himself

He had half-coined whining speech

hysterical laugh.

toward the smudge of smoke that be-
gan to crawl upward over the jutting
shoulder OF the point. II should say

Lamar reached the scene of the
blaze to find a crowd already there.
The fire shared public attention with
two men, one of whom held the others
head on his knee.
Max shouldered his way through the
group that hemmed in these two.
Boyle looked up and recognized him.
He's coming round. all right, Mr..

much for him. Gee, but we had one
queer time in that shack"
''In the shack?" repeated Lamar.
"You surely never went into that blaz-

I'VE sure did" responded Boyle.
"Only 1t wasn't blazing then. We bust
in the door and started for an inner
door. And then woman's hand stuck
out through the opening and-it had

dow and climbed on over the sill.
June found herself In a cubbyhole
OF room whose only articles OF fur
niture were tumbledown cot bed and
q rickety table, on which stood an oil
lamp.
A crazy door led from this tiny bed
room to the room beyond. June threw
wide the door-and confronted q
scared, crouching man. who blinked at
her In dumb terror.
Mr.. Gordon!" she said, incisively,
as II talking to a delirium victim.
"The police are after you. Get out
Of that bedroom window and make
for the rocks. I'll hold them till you're
out of reach. Col"
She seized him by the arm, as she
spoke, drawing him toward the win
dow. AS she did SO, thunderous
knocking sounded at the outer door
followed by sharp summons Of:
open, in the name of the law!"
Gordon hesitated no longer. He
bent and kissed June's hand. Then,
he bolted out through the rear win

rocks.
He'll never make It." she NUT

Picking up one of handful OF scat

she lighted the dirty little kerosene
lamp.
At the same moment the two detec-
tives burst open the outer door and
piled into the front room. There,
for a second, they halted in wonder.
Before them was the slightly open
door OF the bedroom. Through the
crack between door jamb and door
way, appeared a white hand-a WON.

The hand grasped burning kero-

back of the white hand shone a cir.
clet of scarlet.
1.-THE Red Circle!" calculated Boyle;
and started forward-a human hound
upon the scent.
Back" shrilled a woman's voice
from behind the half-shut door-a
voice that echoed through the bare
shack like a silver bugle's call. Back!
II you take another step forward
I'll throw this lamp"
Rush her!" yelled Boyle. We'll
get 'em both. Gordon and the Red
Circle woman! Rush her!"
He bounded forward as he spoke,
Jacobs at his heels. And, across the
little room, like flaming meteor
whizzed the lamp.
The blazing lamp crashed to the
floor at Jacobs feet. There was a
fare, an explosion, and the room was
thick with binding smoke.
Jacobs reeled back, gasping; his
lungs burstingly agonized with the
kerosene fumes he had swallowed.
He fell Frustrated across the wooden
flooring which the burning kerosene
had already begun to ignite.
Boyle stopped and CROPPED through
the smoke for the swooning man,
found him and dragged him through
the choking fumes to the outer door
