While Rosalie Le Grange was pre- pairing 10 move the Invalid on the top floor. the police and the Coroner straish;ened out affairs a little. There was much man in Tommy North.

He became defiant now; whereupon the police began to bully. While they were trying to make Mrs. Moore ed- nit that she had not seen Tommy North come up the stairs. a detective sergeant put a sneering question to her
 Well. who else could have done it? Who else has been here?"
 And the thrush Of memory brought little shriek from Mrs. Moore.

Not a Bite of
 Breakfast Until
 You Drink Water
Says a glass Of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps US fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves bustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day after day leaves in the alimentary canal a certain amount of indigestible mate rial, which if not completely eliminat. ed from the system each day. becomes food for the millions of bacteria which infest the bowels. From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine- like poisons are formed and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who cant get feel ing right must begin to take inside baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot wa ter with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimentary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others wko wakc up w::h bad taste, Ioui Dreatn, Dackache, rneuinatlc stln- ness. or have sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any druggist or storekeeper, and be- gin practicing internal sanitation. This will cost very little. but is suffi- cient to make anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remember inside bathing is more important than outside bathing. be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood. causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the skin, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels.-Adv

 But "LOVE INSUR- ANCE" is the original 1916 s. o. s. for the love stricken, a panacea for all the 9q9,999 varieties ofdivorce evils, a gilt edgedguapantee againstbreach of promise suits.

A Sporting Proposition


 T7UTSIDE a gilt Iettered door on IA b the seventeenth floor of New E E York office building tall
 young man in q fur lined coat stood Shivering.
 Why did he shlver in that coat? He Shiycred because he was fussed, poor chap. Because he was rattled, from the soles of his custom made boots to the apex of his Piccadilly hat. A pain ful, palDitatlng spectacle he stood.
 Meanwhile, on the other side of the door. the business of the American branch of that famous marine insur- ance firm, Boyds Of LOndon-usually termed in magazine articles "The Greatest Gambling Institution In the World'-went on obvious to the shiV- crer who approached.
 The shiverer, with a nervous move ment, shifted his walking stick to bis left hand and laid his right on the doorknob. Though he is not at his best, let us take Q look at him. Tall, as has been noted, perfectly garbed after London's taste, mild and blue as to eye, blond as to hair. A handsome, if somewhat weak face. Very distin- guished-even aristoCratic-in appear ance. Perhaps-the thrill for us dem ocrats hereof the nobility. And at this moment sadly in need of a gener- ous dose of that courage that abounds see any book of familiar quotations -on the playing fields of Eton.
 Utterly destitute of the Eton or any other brand, he pushed open the door. The click of two dozen American type writers smote upon his hearing. An office boy of the dominant New York race demanded in loud, indiscreet tones his business there.
 My business" said the tall young man weakly. "is with Boyd's of Lon dOn."
 The boy wandered off down that stenOgrapher bordered lane. In mo ment he was back
 "AIr. Thacker II see you" he an. | nounced.
 Mir. Thacker sat in plump and genial prosperity before a polished flat top desk. Opposite him at desk equally polished sat an even more polished young American of capable bearing. For an embarrassed moment the tall youth in fur stood looking from one to the other. Then MT. Thacker spoke:
 What can we do for you2" Mr. | Thacker was cold and matter of fact, like a card index. Steadily through each week he grew more business like, and this was Saturday morning. The visitor performed shaky but remarkable juggling feat with his walking stick.
 "I-well-I"- he stammered.
 "Oh, come, comeP thought Mir. Thacker impatiently. Well" said the tall young man des- i perately, perhaps 1t would be. best for me to make myself known at once, I am Allan, Lord Narrowly, son and heir of James Nelson Narrowly, earl of Raybrook. And I-T have come here"-
 The younger of the Americans spoke In more kindly fashion:
 "You have a proposition to make"
 Exactly" said Lord Narrowly and sank. with sigh of relief, into a chair as though that concluded h.s portion of the entertainment
