soon the police might contrive to over

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well. eat well, digest well. work

can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag

Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well. should, each morning, before
breakfast, drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans

more food into the stomach. The &C
ton of hot water and limestone phos-
phate on an empty stomach is wonder
fully invigorating. 1t cleans out all the
sour lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid ap
petite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water and
phosphate is quietly extracting large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for thorough flushing
of all the inside organs.
The millions of people who are both

stomach trouble, rheumatism; others
who have sallow skins, blood disor

to get a quarter pound of limestone

troduced in Kansas City, kas., for
the first time. In order that their
customers might try out this South
ern method of treating colds exter-
nally, the local druggists presented
a few of their customers with COM
plimentary jars, requesting that this
preparation be given q thorough
trial, and the results reported. BY
kind permission, we give a few of
these reports below.
In the South vick's vap-O-Rub Salve
is universally used in place of internal
medicines for all forms of cold
troubles. from head colds, catarrh and
asthmatic troubles, down to deep
chest colds, sore throat, bronchitis or
incipient pneumonia You just apply
it over throat and chest and cover
with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the
covering loose around the neck, as
the body heat releases the ingredients
in the form of yapors. These vapors
are breathed in all night long, loosen
ing the phlegm and clearing the air
passages. In addition, Vap-O-Rub is
absorbed through and stimulates the
skin, aiding the vapors inhaled to re
lieve the congestion.

CHAPTER xviii.
A Meeting by the Safe.

1t was a sound so slight, SO very
small and still, that only supersubtle
sense of hearing could have distin-
guished it from the confused multiple
ity of almost inaudible, interviewer
sounds, that go to make the slumber-
Gus quiet by night of that essentially
animate organism, the human habita-
ton.
Lanyard, whose training had taught
him how to listen, had early learned
that the nocturnal hush of one Louise
is to be differentiated from that of an
other as readily as the respiration of
two sleepers may be Disseminated. He
knew that every house had its singu-
lar cadence, its own gentle movement
of muted but harmonious sounds
wherein the introduction of alien
sounds produced instant discord.
Now. in the muted voice of this vast
mansion, he had detected little fiut-
ter of discordance, sounding note of
stealth-such a note as no move of his
own since entering had evoked.
And while Lanyard stood at alert at
tention the sound was repeated from a
point less distant This new intruder
was moving through the salons to the
library.
In two swift strides Lanyard left the
shelter of the screen and ensconced
himself in the recess of one of the tan
windows, behind its heavy velvet hang
fngs-
That movement could have been
timed no more precisely had it been
rehearsed- He was barely in hiding
when a shape of shadow slipped into
the library, paused beside the massive
desk and raked the room with a pow
erful lash-lamp.
Its initial glare struck full and
dazzlingly into Lanyard's eyes as he
peered through a narrow opening in
the portiere.
When at length his vision cleared
the other was kneeling in turn before
| the safe-or, rather, rising from a
kneeling position there, for more light
| was needed, and this one, lacking the
patience of his studious caution,
turned back to the desk, seized the
electric reading lamp and transferred
it to the floor between the safe and the
screen
But even before she had put down
| the lamp Lanyard had recognized the
| woman; before the swift flood of light
followed the dull click of the switch
| he knew that she was Lucy Shannon
He felt dazed, half-stunned, suffocat-
ed-much as ne had felt with Greggs'
| fingers tightening on his windpipe that
| week-old night at Troyon's.
For an instant he experienced real
| difficulty about breathing and was
conscious of sickish throbbing in his
temples, while the pounding in his
1 bosom Was as the tOllinr of "a great
bell. He stared, swaying like a man
who has been struck heavy blow.
In one breath he swore it could not.

sigh escaped. whispering through the
stiffness.
A great WEAKNESS was upon him as
he rose slowly and heavily from the
floor and stood erect, no longer the
slave of self, but it's master, free at
last and for all time from that ancient
evil which so long had held his soul in
bondage.
