GLASS OF WATER
Upset Her.

People who don't know about food
should never be allowed to feed per-
sons with weak stomachs.
Sometime ago a young woman who
lives in Me. had an attack of scarlet
fever, and when convalescing was per-
mitted to eat anything she wanted.
Indiscriminate feeding soon put her
back in bed with severe stomach and
kidney trouble.
There I stayed" she says, three
months. with my stomach in such con-
dition that could take only few tea
spoonfuls of milk or beef juice at a
time. Finally Grape-Nuts was brought
to my attention and asked my doc
tor II l might eat it. He said, yes,
and I commenced at once.
"The food did me good from the
start and was soon out of bed and re-
covered from the stomach trouble. I
have gained ten pounds and am able
to do all household duties, some days
sitting down only long enough to eat
my meals. can eat anything that
one ought to eat. but still continue
tc eat Grape-Nuts at breakfast and
supper and like it better every day.
considering that could stand only
q short time. and that glass of water
seemed so heavy am fully satisfied
that Grape-Nuts has been everything
to me and that my return to health
is due to 1t.
81 have told several friends having
nervous or stomach trouble what
Grape Nuts did for me and in every
case they speak highly Of the food"

d'Anglades to go along. The invita-
tion was accepted but at the elev-
enth hour d'Anglade begged of, say
ing his wife had fallen sick. The
Montgomeries went away and there Is
every reason to suppose that they
had the best kind Of time at their
rural chateau. They returned to Paris
a day earlier than they had expected
to. arriving at their home in the eve
ming. The d'Anglades spent the eve
ming with them.
On the following morning Montgom-
erie discovered that he had been
robbed during his absence, and the
robbers had made big haul. They
had opened his strong box with a
false key and had carried off thirteen
bags of silver, several bags of gold,
and hundred louis dor of new pat
tern, not in general circulation. and
a quantity of valuable jewelry. The
comte sent at once for the police.
The lieutenant general Of police
came, with several of his trusty
sleuths, and after examining every
thing he announced his belief that
somebody in the house had stolen the
goods, and he began search of the
premises. In order that nobody could
accuse him of impartiality, he made
search of the d'Anglades' apartment
the first thing. before going to the
servants quarters, and his surprise
and delight may be imagined when he
discovered roll of Is louis dor, OF
the new coinage, wrapped up Iii pa
per, a part of a genealogical table,
which was at once identified by Mont
gomerie as belonging to him. In vain
the marquis protested that he knew
nothing about the money or how 1t
came there. His appearance wac
against him.
To the astute lieutenant general OF
police this was sufficient proof Of the
mans guilt. When he went to the
house he expected that it was going
to be a sordid affair, involving
crooked servant Or two, and now he
had a real live marquis in the tolls.
His delight may easily be understood.
The case was bound to make big
sensation, and the lieutenant general
would be covered with glory. From
the moment of finding the money in
d'Anglade's attic, that gifted function
ary bent all his efforts to the one end
the conviction of the marquis. He
would consider no evidence that led
in other directions.
AS a matter Of form he went to the
basement, and there found evidence
against the servants far more incrim-
mating than that against the marquis,
but when a man is hunting lion he
doesn't want to fool away time on rab-
bits. Five Of the missing bags of sill
yer were found in the servants boxes,
but this made no impression upon the
great policeman. The marquis must
have put the bags where they were
found, in order to throw suspicion
upon the servants.
The prosecution was pitiless and
brutal, and the lieutenant general Of
police seemed to dominate everybody
and everything. The marquis protest
ed his innocence, and was ordered to
the torture, but no physical agony
could draw from him confession of

glades, giving them information which
enabled them to bring the facts to
light. And the facts showed that the
unfortunate dAnglade had nothing
whatever to do with the cdme.
The chief criminal was the Comte de
Montgomerie's almoner, priest
named Gaynard, who had obtained
wax Impressions of the comte's keys.
From these Impressions man named
Belestre made false keys; several
servants of the comte were in the plot,
including the writer Of the anonymous
letter. They were all taken into Gus
tody and subjected to the torture, one
by one, and in their confessions they
were unanimous in generating dan
glade.
The unfortunate wife was released
from her black dungeon, with her
naked babe in her arms. She was in
dying condition, but now the symra-
thy of an entire nation was with her,
and she was nursed back to health.
The people of Paris raised fund for

courts made De Montgomerie dig up
a large sum to make restitution for
the property confiscated.
There is only one bright spot in this
tragic story. One morning the lieu
tenant general Of police, who had been
the lion of Paris for long time,
stepped out of his door to go to his
office, when stone hit him on the
side of the head. Then another rock
or maybe it was vitrifled brick;
anyhow, it was hard, and weighed
eight pounds and a half-took him in
the stomach and doubled him up, and
before he could unbend himself some
body prodded him in the ribs with a
pole. In fact, the whole population Of
the street had turned out to do him
honor, and when his servant dragged
him back into the house he looked
Just like a man who has been fooling
with pile driver.
